Astral Ants

Chapter 179 It's Called Silver Cypress
Black Lotus Lake.

The golden sun of late autumn hangs obliquely in the western sky.

The white willow stood on the top of a big willow tree by the lake, swaying gently with the wind.

Hei Ti was lying on the bank of the lake, commanding the blue soldiers, quietly guarding the black lotus life.

Ordinary life seeds are not like god-given seeds. The fruits produced by the same life seed do not mature at the same time, but mature one after another.

The fruit of ordinary life seeds will also accelerate the absorption of force during the period of maturity, and there is also a process of qualitative change in the original energy of the fruit, but the force absorbed in this process is very small.

The three black lotus trees of Bailiu bloomed a total of 13 flowers and produced 13 lotus pods this year, and the fastest growing lotus pod is about to fully mature.

This is the force food that can help him step from the worker ant class to the king class.

Hei Ti has been looking forward to it for a whole year, and has squatted by the lake for seven days and seven nights.

The setting sun gradually falls into the Western Hills and disappears.

Yunxia burned like a flame, burning half of the sky red, and then gradually cooled, dimmed, and extinguished.

dusk.

dark.

midnight.

The mother plant of the black lotus no longer provided force, no longer transported nutrients, and the last ray of vitality of the yellowed lotus pod was cut off.

ripe!

Hei Ti shook the tentacles and gave an order.

A specialized blue soldier opened its jaws, bit off the stalk, and ran ashore with a lotus pod in its mouth, and placed it in front of Heiti.

"Wow! Finally mature!"

"Heiti!"

Bai Liu circled and landed, even more eager than Hei Ti, seeing Hei Ti holding the lotus pod in both claws and looking at it, anxiously urged, "Try a few!"

When the long-awaited item arrived, Hei Ti suddenly felt relieved, and had a question about the arrangement of lotus seeds on the lotus pod: [Why is there a fixed 14 lotus seeds produced by each lotus pod?Instead of 15 or 16? 】

For ordinary black lotus, the number of lotus seeds in each lotus pod is not fixed at 15 to 17.

——Why is there such a difference?

——Perhaps the king knows.

Heiti thought silently, looked up at Bailiu who was spinning around in a hurry, spread out her toes and picked out a lotus seed, peeled off the seed coat with her jaws, chewed and ate it.

The familiar breath of force rushed straight to his forehead after absorbing it.

A wonderful feeling of familiarity.

"good to eat!"

Heiti flicked the tentacles vigorously.

Hei Ti has no mental power, and Bai Liu can't communicate with him through mental power, let alone communicate with the ant tribe's information transmission method, but you can understand it by watching the action.

As everyone predicted, Black Lotus Seed can help Hei Ti continue to evolve.

Bai Liu breathed a sigh of relief, patted her wings lightly, lifted off vertically, cheered and galloped, flew around the lake, and landed lightly on the big willow tree.

Heiti rested for a while, then dug out the second lotus seed from the lotus pod, peeled it off and ate it.

Rest for a while and eat the third one.

You can still only eat 3 capsules per day, any more will be wasted.

The remaining 11 lotus seeds were snapped off at one go, peeled, and handed over to the blue ants to refine them into Force Ant Honey and store them.

There are 13 lotus pods in the lake, which will mature in the next four or five days.

Heiti and Bailiu continued to guard, picking one after another.

...

...

...

late at night.

South Suanzao Mountain, the flames are soaring into the sky.

Sang walked in the raging fire, while controlling the fire to burn, while extinguishing the flame.

Mo Lan waved her sickle-like sharp forelimbs, and then dealt with the unburned branches.

Long Bai controls the ruling throne, suspended in the sky, always watching the direction of the air flow.

There is a certain risk in using the fire ability to open up wasteland.

Sang is only a 3-year-old high-level fighter, and his ability to control and stop fire is limited. In case of a sudden gust of wind, he may not be able to control the scene.

There are dense forests on all sides, once it is ignited out of control, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, it can only be set on fire when there is no wind or a slight breeze.In the windy weather, you have to be careful and go against the wind.

It's a way to open up wasteland that eats the weather, but it's super efficient.

Within half a month, almost half of the South Suanzao Mountain was burned away.

Breezy tonight, add a night shift.

Longbai is vigilant at the upper wind, always paying attention to the change of wind direction and force.

Unfortunately, a strong wind blew over.

"stop!"

"San, stop."

Long Bai manipulated the ruling throne to descend and approach.

Sang received the order, and quickly activated his ability to extinguish all the flames.

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne to dock, and jumped off the throne to help.

The wind hits.

After a panic, all the open flames were extinguished, and it took a lot of time to clean up all the stumps and branches with sparks and green smoke.

Just after putting out the fire, the wind stopped.

Damn the weather~ Long Bai slandered, it was not early, he greeted: "Sang, Mo Lan, this is the end of tonight, everyone is tired, let's rest."

After a busy day, Sang was indeed exhausted, so he walked slowly to the throne.

Mo Lan was still full of energy, jumped onto the ruling throne, took a gourd, and took a wooden dish made of vine seeds, poured ant honey, and called for food to recover.

Long Bai fluttered his wings and circled in the air to inspect it, landed on the ground, and said with satisfaction: "The wasteland that has been burnt is enough to be busy for a year or two. Sang, you can't keep your territory without insects for a long time. Leave it for half a month." I'll take you back tomorrow morning!"

"OK--"

Sang was somewhat worried about his territory.

Mo Lan waved her tentacles and said, "If there is a giant soldier ant to help guard Dian Sang's territory, then you don't have to worry. When we go back to South Suanzao Mountain to build an orchard, we must send at least one intelligent soldier ant to stay permanently."

Mo Lan turned her head and said, "Long Bai, commanding ants are not enough, why don't you train another intelligent chemical ant?"

Long Bai hesitated, and said: "If you want to cultivate, it is also to cultivate giant blue soldiers."

Mo Lan: "Why? Who will command the worker ants to build the orchard? Isn't there already three combat-type command ants, Juniper, Giant Cypress, and Tricypress?"

Long Bai: "Me and Junbai will take turns. Hei Lian Lake is close to South Suanzao Mountain, so Hei Ti can also come and help."

Long Bai explained: "After the orchard is reclaimed and the fruit seedlings are planted for several years, the main tasks include weeding, insecticide, and irrigation. In addition, the ant colonies stationed here need hunting and security guards. Giant blue soldiers can command soldier ants and The Blue Soldier can do all the work perfectly."

"Oh--"

Mo Lan understood a little bit, nodded her tentacles to agree, and asked: "Then cultivate another giant blue soldier!"

Long Bai has been worrying about the lack of command ants for a long time, and he has thought about it for a long time, but he still hasn't made a decision.

Seeing that Mo Lan was keen on this matter, she sorted out her thoughts, organized her words, and said one by one:

"One more commander ant, one more right-hand man. Large-scale land reclamation and planting of top-level plants, whether we can get the god-given seed as we wish is uncertain, but it will definitely increase the expenditure of a large amount of force resources."

"Currently, we seem to have an inexhaustible amount of force food, but this is because I have suppressed growth in the past few years, have not gone all out to evolve, and consume less resources."

"The junipers and junipers are only at the intermediate stage, and they consume limited resources, but when they evolve to the advanced stage, their annual consumption will increase sharply. At the same time, we have to consider whether to allow them to continue to the lord level after evolving to the mountain master level. Evolution. If you continue, the resources you need..."

"Each additional commander ant can share part of the work, but it also means a huge investment of resources. If you can't get the corresponding rewards from the god-given seeds as scheduled, you will be unable to support their upward growth."

"Commander ants are intelligent and independent. After getting along for a long time, can you bear to abandon them? If you don't have the heart to abandon them, what should you do if you don't have the resources to supply them?"

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, you decide whether to breed another giant blue soldier."

Long Bai stated the situation, analyzed the pros and cons, and threw the question to Mo Lan.

A very serious decision~ Mo Lan lowered her head and began to think carefully.

Sang looked left and right, and said quietly: "...I think it's okay."

Mo Lan raised her head and said, "Then cultivate another giant blue soldier! We will definitely get the god-given seed!"

You have been blessed by the God of Nature, if you say you can do it, you will definitely do it!

Long Bai said sharply: "Okay! We will start tomorrow."

Mo Lan was elated, and asked, "Long Cypress, is it called 'Silver Cypress'? This is your last cypress tree, so you have no choice."

Long Bai: "..."

For a long time, you don't just want to name it, do you?

Long Bai continued: "Observe Heiti first, and see if it can evolve into a command ant! If so, my idea is..."

Long Bo paused, and said: "In the future, the intelligent and giant ants will stay in Xianglan Mountain. Like Hei Ti, the all-round commander ants will be sent out to lead the ant colony to independently manage Nansuanzao Mountain, Jianlan Plain, Mo Lanshan Mountain, Hanlan Mountain, Bailian Lake and other places of force..."

Currently, there are as many as 5 Unowned Force Lands, and Long Bai's head grew dizzy as he talked.

Mo Lan asked: "Long Bai, are you sure the ant nest can still produce ants like Heiti?"

Long Bai: "Since one appears, there must be a second and a third. The problem lies in the probability. Maybe, one thousand specialized chemical ants will emerge, maybe ten thousand, one hundred thousand There is only one specialized chemical ant. To be specific, it will take time and quantity to test."

Long Bai: "An all-round command ant like Hei Ti can manage an unowned force field, which can not only save resources, but also save me a lot of things."

Mo Lan tapped the tentacles, indicating that she understood, and suggested: "Longbai, since the black lotus seeds can help Hei Ti evolve...if it is used for larvae, can it increase the occurrence rate of specialized chemical ants like Hei Ti? ?”

Long Bai: "I've thought about it, I can try..."

"Try!" Mo Lan agreed, waving her forefoot and urged:
"Eat quickly. Eat quickly. Rest early. Send Sang back to Feiguang Mountain tomorrow morning, and then go to Heilian Lake to see how Heiti is doing."
