Astral Ants

Chapter 219 - News of Zhaoguo

"I don't seem to be very popular."

Caolong came slowly, carrying big and small bags of goods.

Long Bai: "Welcome to Yunji Continent, my friend..."

Grass Dragon: "..."

Caolong: "Why don't the two little guys, Qingfeng and Hongfeng, come to welcome me?"

Long Bai: "The two of them ran along for a few days and went back to the mountain to rest."

Long Bai smiled and asked: "Caolong, these are Luoli's for you, the start-up capital for independent travel business?"

"no--"

Grass Dragon stood still, untied the spider silk ropes that bound the goods, and unloaded them one by one, explaining at the same time:
"Last winter, at the gathering of the Watarase Flame Spider Tribe, Ludou and I secretly observed Baiwei and Hongtao. From the calculation of their jumping heights when they walked, we knew that they made money again, and made a lot of money."

After the joke, let's get down to business.

Caolong said solemnly: "So, I discussed with Ludou, and I think the original force honey business can be done, and I plan to give it a try. We also asked Huangtao Shanzhu to make 30 metal cans, and got a bottle of royal jelly. This year, we will first get 30 cans of royal honey that sells for 1000 rough stones per can. The strengthening effect only needs to be comprehensive for the time being. As for the taste and fragrance, which one is best sold by Baiwei? , hand it over to Ludou, and when it’s traveling in the market, it’ll be sold along with it.”

Cao Long asked: "Long Bai, you traded with Bai Wei, do you have a surplus in Force food?"

Long Bai: "Yes."

Long Bai: "But not much. Bai Wei started to settle with me with the Spider King Silk Scroll."

Caolong: "I think you need rough stones here, so I brought some more."

Grass Dragon opened the four large spider silk bags one by one, and there were four shiny bags of rough stones, "4000 pieces in total. You can only transport so many in one trip for senior flame spider merchants in the 4th age."

Grass Dragon then opened a number of medium and small sized spider silk bags, and packed them with different kinds of Force food.

"According to the purchase price, I will give you a fair price. The total value is 12000 rough stones. Long Bai will take stock."

Long Bai glanced at it briefly, tapped the tentacles and said, "No problem."

Grass Dragon: "Is there enough Force food?"

Long Bai: "30 cans are definitely enough."

Grass Dragon: "Okay! I'll give you 8 spider silk rolls too."

Cao Long's eyes turned to the small spider silk bag that Long Bai was carrying.

Long Bai handed it over and said, "500 pandan seeds, the god-given fruit of Luoqin, help me to bring them over."

"That's what Luochen also means. 5000 rough stones. 5 spider silk rolls?"

Grass Dragon took the bag, opened it, glanced at it, put it away carefully, and counted out 13 scrolls of spider silk with a denomination of 1000 rough stones and gave them to Long Bai.

Accounts are settled first.

"On the Ten Thousand Races Continent, Ludou is the only one running. Next year I will come with Luochen. Longbai, do the math, which do you need more, raw stone or force food? I will transport what you need."

Long Bai raised the spider king silk scroll, and said: "...they are all needed."

Long Bai struggled for a while, and said helplessly: "The main thing is to transport the original force food. As much as the rough stone can be transported."

Both Baiwei and Caolong have limited carrying capacity.

With the increase of the transaction amount, more spider king silk scrolls will inevitably be received in the future.

Long Bai lives deep in the Yunji Continent, and there are only two ways to use the Spider King Silk Scroll.

The first one is to find Qiye or Quinoa to buy high-priced Force food.

Second, after a certain amount has been accumulated, discuss with the caravan and pay a high fee, asking them to make a special trip to deliver large quantities of rough stones.The spider king's silk scroll is exchanged for a rough spot with practical uses.

It can also have a third purpose, that is, to purchase "Yizhaoguo" in the future for payment.

……

Long Bai called Qingfeng and Hongfeng over to help, ran back and forth several times, and moved everything to the ant nest in Hongnan Mountain.

200 blue ants brewed 30 cans of original force honey in half a day.

"Grass Dragon, I've been waiting for a long time."

"No. You're unbelievably fast."

"Ha~ha~"

Long Bai passed the ant honey one by one through the gap.

Caolong took a bottle of royal jelly, dipped it in with a spider silk rope, opened the metal cans one by one, spread them evenly, and twisted them repeatedly to complete the packaging.

"Is there a steady supply of royal jelly?"

"It's not stable for the time being. Bai Wei is also looking for purchases everywhere. We are in a competitive relationship. It is the elder, and I have to let it go."

Grass dragon talk is always so funny.

Long Bai laughed and continued:
"It's okay. I'll help you find a way."

"What can you do?"

"You'll know then."

"When is the time?"

"When you lack royal jelly."

"It's missing now."

"Did not see it."

"Okay. Let's get down to business."

Grass Dragon stopped his movements, straightened his words, and said solemnly: "Last autumn, when the Yizhao fruit ripened, and at the tribal gathering in early winter, there were many spiders talking about it. Lu Dou and I carefully inquired about the information."

"Last year's auction sold 350 million rough stones. There are three old insect kings competing for the same purpose. They all return their god-given seeds to the seed form and pass them on to younger generations."

Long Bai: "...a bit expensive."

"A bit expensive? Just a bit?"

Caolong continued to seal the original force honey, and said with emotion: "Long Bai, you are developing too fast! 300 million rough stones are no longer in your sights."

Long Bai: "I mean, compared to the benefits it brings, 350 million rough stones are very worthwhile."

Grass Dragon analyzed seriously: "You must be at the master level of the evolution mountain, so you are in a hurry to use it? You can't get so many rough stones, so you can only borrow them from Zeqi Spider King and Grass Black Spider King?"

"Large loan, friendship price, three-point interest? You have to pay 10 rough stones for the interest alone in one year. How many years can you pay off the principal with interest?"

Regarding this, Long Bai had figured it out a long time ago, and said calmly: "It's not a big problem."

Long Bai changed the subject and asked: "Caolong, you have traveled around the mainland, you have traveled to many places, and you know a lot, I have a question for you."

Grass Dragon: "Ask."

Long Bai: "In a big place like 'Shouguan Mountain', there must be more than one wild god-given tree?"

Caolong: "Not many, 5. But each one is a top tree."

Long Bai: "Ah..."

Caolong said in detail: "Ordinary god-given seeds are bred by tribal warriors to become life-giving seeds. Big tribes like them only select the best god-given seeds, sow them into wild god-given seeds, invest massive resources in cultivation, and develop To grow stronger, as the mainstay of the tribe's long-term prosperity."

And this statement?

Think about it, the reason is not difficult to understand.

Long Bai asked again: "Then, have you heard that there is any way for wild god-given seeds that have been cultivated to reach the mountain master level or above to survive the long period of silence of the force?"

Grass Dragon: "???"

Caolong: "I said, Dragon Cypress Ant King, isn't it too strange for you to ask this question?"

Long Bai waited for a while, but didn't see the next one. Guessing that Cao Long had never heard of similar information, he cleverly changed the subject and said:

"Didn't your Watarase Flame Spider tribe send a small soldier over every year to check the status of the Force in the Cloud Trace Continent? Many people in the Ten Thousand Clans Continent and the Ten Thousand Nations Continent are worried about the quiet period of the Force, right? I'm also thinking about it. Don't cultivate a wild god-given seed, leave something for the younger generation."

"younger generation?"

"Green maple and red maple?"

"Or, do you plan to breed a new ant king in the future? Long Bai, as far as I know, you are not an ant with a sense of community."

Grass Dragon is not so easy to be fooled, and then asked: "Did something terrible happen to you? Did you find the tribal relics of the previous force period in Yunji Continent? No. It is close to the divine power barrier. , the area that can be visited has already been dug and searched countless times by the ant tribe, and it is impossible to leave you with anything."

Long Bai: "Caolong, you're overthinking. I just had a whim, so just ask."

Long Bai didn't want to reveal the information about the ruling throne to Caolong, so he speeded up and handed over all the metal cans, urging:

"It's getting late, Caolong, go back to the caravan early, so that Bai Wei won't worry."

"Bai Wei? Will it be worried?"

Caolong reacted fiercely, then calmed down quickly, and said displeasedly: "Long Bai, you are changing the subject! You have something to hide from me."

"No."

Long Bai answered neither seriously nor seriously.

"never mind."

Cao Long was disappointed and said, "You don't consider me a friend!"

Caolong: "Actually, I know something about your problem..."

Long Bai: "You talk first."

Grass Dragon: "Last year, Luoqin mentioned to the Spider King that you needed a 'one shot' and needed to remove the seed bestowed by the gods. The Spider King immediately concluded that you were lying! You are not an honest king ant .”

Long Bai: "..."

Caolong: "Can't think of it? Bai Wei has already told the Zeqi Spider King about the seed bestowed by the Crimson Light God. The Zeqi Spider King heard that you want to 'take a fruit', and immediately knew what you wanted to do. "

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "I knew that Bai Wei couldn't keep a secret."

Long Bai: "What else?"

Caolong: "According to the fruit, the Zeqi Spider King still agreed. And, by the way, he told Luo Li and me some secrets about the god-given seeds that are not known to insects."

Long Bai's tentacles were vertical, waiting for the next step.

Grass Dragon: "When necessary, there are two ways to move the king-level god-given seeds. The first one is mainly the god-given seeds of the big tree type. They gather the soul and all the power in the center of the tree stump, and condense them into one. The heart of a tree. You can dig it out, change the place, bury it in the soil, take root and sprout again, give it a certain amount of time and invest a certain amount of rough stones, and it will be restored."

"The second type is the ability that only a few god-given seeds have. They are mainly herbaceous plants. They condense the soul and all the power in a seed in the form of flowering and fruiting. It is similar to the life species of the flame spider tribe. The way. It is also similar to the effect of the ability of 'Yizhaoguo'."

"The two methods are just different in form, and there is no essential difference."

Grass Dragon: "What you want to ask is whether the wild god-given seed can survive the silent period of the force in the form of 'tree heart' or 'seed'? It is impossible in the vacuum environment of the force, because no matter Seed form, or tree heart form, they are all alive, and living force life must consume force to maintain vitality."

Grass Dragon: "Long Bai, have you picked up the heart or seeds of a wild god-given seed from a certain tribe in the previous force period?"

Grass Dragon: "It's still wrong. You haven't seen a tree heart or a seed, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question..."

Caolong combed through the clues, feeling that he was only a small step away from the truth, racking his brains to figure it out.

Long Bai said unhurriedly: "Caolong, the biggest shortcoming of your spider is that you think about everything very complicatedly. This will affect your development instead. This is a problem and needs to be corrected."

"Learn more from Baiwei Mountain Lord, don't use your brain if you can, and be happy without worry."

Long Bai: "Let me ask you another question. Can the slough of the god-given seed be traded?"

"what?"

Grass Dragon was taken aback, and thought of many things in an instant, "You found the remains of the wild god-given seed? The remains of a certain tribe during the force period of Yunji Continent?"

Long Bai said vaguely: "Almost."

Grass Dragon: "Where is the heart of the tree? Is there any?"

Long Bai: "It's all broken branches and remains...I didn't see the heart of the tree. I'll look around later."

Grass Dragon: "Look carefully! If it's an environment of force, there is a certain hope of surviving."

Caolong: "The slough of the god-given seed is good for fertilizer. It is good for the growth of life-planting plants. You can keep it for your own use."

Grass Dragon said with a rare seriousness, "I happen to know one thing. This thing cannot be traded for two reasons. First, if the wreckage of the God-given Seed can be priced and traded, then how can all the Zerg warriors who have the God-given Seed of Life Don't you have to be afraid? Beware of being killed and plundered by other Zerg fighters."

Long Bai commented: "This is similar to 'Yizhaohua'."

Grass Dragon: "...That's right."

Caolong: "Almost makes sense."

Grass Dragon thought for a while and said in a solemn tone: "Second, the seeds bestowed by the gods are all awakened intelligent beings, who are protected by the gods of nature. If their corpses are traded for profit, they may be punished by the gods of nature. Anyway, we cross The Yanyan spider tribe dare not do this kind of business."

"All right--"

Long Bai was disappointed, "It's okay. Don't ask too many questions. You can go now. See you next year."

PS: The plot requires that the settings are different from the cockroach book, readers who have read it don't need to be entangled.
