Astral Ants

Chapter 172 The Treasure House of Hanlan Mountain ([-])

The spring breeze is warm and thick.

Bai Wei also sent a bag of fruit tree seeds this year, half of which were peach tree seeds.

These seeds are not considered valuable, they are used for building orchards, picking fruits, refining and brewing ant honey.

Long Bai took the junipers and directed the worker ants to urgently open up four large nursery fields in the north of the mountain, taking advantage of the season, to sow them all at once.

Juniper and giant cypress have completed a moulting evolution successively, reaching the intermediate level of the 7th age.

Juniper is responsible for hunting, and it is given priority when resources are scarce. Its evolution has reached the middle stage of the 8th instar. Its body shape exceeds that of Cypress, and its body length reaches about 1.3 meters.

Cui cypress and cedar were born late and evolved into intermediate 5th instars.

The five command ants are evolving steadily.

The Zhanlan Godsend Seed bloomed as expected, with the first 6 broad leaves still present, and the yield increased significantly, with 1074 fruit bearing.

There are many other things on the mountain in spring, but there is nothing for Long Bai to worry about personally.

Mo Lan has been talking about the treasure house in Hanlan Mountain, and Long Bai has been looking forward to it for a long time.

Collect 45 specialized chemical ants, 45 large worker ants, 5 specialized blue ants, 15 large blue ants, 5 specialized soldier ants, and 20 large soldier ants, and head south.

Black Lotus Lake.

There are three nurseries on the mountainside.

Two nurseries at the foot of the mountain.

Hei Ti led the ant colony, lying lazily on the high slope between the mountainside and the foot of the mountain, enjoying the warm sunshine.

The white willow was hanging upside down on the trunk of a big elm tree. Feeling the fluctuation of the force of the ruling throne, it loosened its claws, flipped in the air, flapped its wings lightly, and flew into the air with a flicker.

In the 7th age intermediate warrior stage, it has eaten silver cypress seeds and god-given southern jujubes. After the 8th age evolution, its body shape has been optimized, its wings have become narrower and shorter, and it is more dexterous in flight.

"Longcypress Ant King!"

"I'm 8 years old!"

Approaching the ruling throne, Bai Liu rolled three times to the right and three times to the left. When he was about to collide with the throne, he rolled on his back and moved back to open the distance, flying backwards in sync with the throne.

"..."

This dazzling flying show left Long Bai speechless.

Long cypress and Mo Lan have also been insisting on using silver cypress seeds and god-given southern jujube seeds to optimize their wings and strengthen their flying ability. They also tried to roll in the air, but gave up after falling a few times.

Long Bai: "Bai Liu, where is the life seed? How did you choose it?"

Bai Liu: "Black Lotus!"

Long Bai: "Uh..."

Long Bai: "The strengthening effect of the black lotus is extremely rare and precious, and it is a very good choice. However, there is no need to choose so many of the same life species. I got a batch of high-quality yellow peach seeds, and I will give you 5. One will be the seed of life, and the rest will be sown for Heiti."

Bai Liu: "...Thank you."

Long Bai: "Bai Liu, I brought you a can of Force Ant Honey. I will send you another can during the autumn trade. Counting the time, at the end of autumn and early winter, you can evolve into a 1-year-old intermediate fighter. Then, Next fall, you will use the auxiliary ability of the throne of domination to evolve into a high-level fighter."

Bai Liu: "Got it."

Long Bai lay on the edge of the stump ant nest, buried his head, and looked down at the hillside below.

Bai Liu hurriedly said: "Longbai Ant King, the nursery has been built, all the seeds have been sown in time, and they are sprouting one after another."

Bai Liu also introduced: "The seeds of southern jujube were sown the first time, and the seedlings have grown to a height of four or five centimeters. Heiti followed the method you taught, and sent little worker ants to kill all the weak seedlings in time to make way for the strong seedlings to grow. space."

"Oh! Hei Ti did a great job."

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne and slowly descended.

Sensing the arrival of the ant king, the ants stood up one after another, raised their heads, and waved their tentacles.

"Great King—" Heiti greeted, and found that there were a large number of worker ants following the throne, and felt bad.

"Hei Ti, are you done?"

"No--"

"It's just ordinary plants. Let Bai Liu help with the rest of the irrigation work."

"But Bailiu can't even do irrigation well."

"Stop talking nonsense! Come with me."

Long Bai controlled the Throne of Control to land and dock, and switched to sending messages with spiritual power, saying: "Bai Liu, I will take Hei Ti away for a while. The ant colony stationed in Hei Lian Lake will stay behind."

Bai Liu: "Oh—"

Bai Liu: "Longbai Ant King, are you taking Heiti to work?"

Long Bai briefly explained: "Yes. I need it to help with some special tasks. I will send it back after the transaction in early summer."

Bai Liu: "Got it."

Long Bai: "Bai Liu, please do me a favor. Go hunt some fish in the lake and come back. I'll stockpile a batch of food for the ants that stay behind."

"Okay." Bai Liu flew to Heilian Lake.

Long Bai turned around and said to the reluctant Hei: "Your Majesty will take you to Hanlan Mountain to make a fortune! Digging the treasure house, if you find something good, I will reward you with rough stones or other valuable things."

Long Bai: "Hei Ti, you are now semi-independent from Xianglan Mountain. Before you evolve to a higher level, I will provide all resources free of charge. During this period, you can get paid through labor, which can be recorded in the account first. Evolve to an advanced level, and withdraw from me at any time."

Heiti: "!!!"

Heiti shook the tentacles excitedly, "Listen to the Ant King!"

Long Bai spread his membrane wings and ordered: "Take the ant colony back to the nest, arrange them to rest in the ant nest, and don't run around. I will also hunt a few large beasts and stock up enough food for them. This time Traveling far, you may not be able to come back until two or three months later, I will come here at noon to check."

After finishing speaking, he flapped his wings and lifted into the sky, climbed over the mountain peak, and got into the forest behind him.

……

Long Bai spent half a day preparing and rested all night.

The next day, I set off with black extractors and headed eastward in a straight line.

In Hanlan Mountain, we found a quagmire that confirmed the existence of the treasure house. It was rainy in spring, and all kinds of weeds grew wildly, and it turned into a green swamp.

The treasure house sank to a depth of more than 10 meters in the mud, which was difficult to handle.

Long Bai thought of two plans.

The first plan is to divert and irrigate water from the river ditch. During the summer rainstorm season, lead the blue soldiers by yourself, activate the water system ability to stir to form mud, and discharge the mud through drainage.

After repeated deduction, Long Bai denied this method, it was too laborious.

The second plan is to dig a ditch that flows into the swamp, divert it, and dig multiple drainage channels around the swamp.In the midsummer season, the high temperature and high heat will dry out the swamp land, and then instruct the worker ants to dig out the dried soil layer by layer and move it away.

There is a problem with this plan. In case of heavy rain after digging to a certain depth, the accumulated water in the pit will inevitably turn into a mud pond.

You can switch to Option [-], using the capacity of the water system to drain water.

Long Bai manipulated the ruling throne to stop at the river ditch at the foot of the mountain, put down the plank, and waved his tentacles to give instructions.

"Heiti, take the worker ants to find a place on the hillside over there and build a temporary ant nest."

"Okay. Your Majesty."

Hei Ti led the worker ants down the throne in a line, and climbed up the mountain under the protection of the soldier ants.

Long Bai spread his wings, kicked his legs into the air, hovered at low altitude, and flew around the swamp to observe the terrain.

Landed again, walked around twice, and weighed repeatedly.

With a silent calculation in my mind, I soon came up with a detailed excavation plan.

Enter the mountain forest, hunt large animals, move back to refine the blue ants, store the belly, and stock up enough rations for the ant colony for one month.

"Hei Ti! Come here."

Long Bai greeted Heiti who was taking the lead and went to the field personally leading the worker ants to dig the ant nest.

There are rewards for this job!Heiti was full of energy and ran forward.

"Your Majesty, give instructions!"

"Go down the mountain, and I will explain the specific excavation plan to you. Then I will go back to Xianglan Mountain and bring a batch of worker ants and blue ants over."

Long Bai led Heiti down the mountain, instructing and arranging work on the spot.
