Astral Ants

Chapter 248
The ruling throne is near the Tilia Kingdom, docked on the river.

Long Bai and Mo Lan galloped into the place of force.

After three years, there have been great changes. The forest has been cut down in large quantities, and saplings have been replanted recently.

A large number of mature forest lands have been reclaimed, and the types of planted species have been replaced.Berberis ant king is constantly optimizing and enriching the kingdom's plant species.

late at night.

Long Bai walked in front, and Mo Lan followed behind stealthily, one in front of the other, running on the ground, and came to Wuye's living cave with ease.

"Five leaves—" Long Bai restrained his mental strength and called out in a low voice.

In the cave, the sleeping Wuye suddenly woke up, raised her head, looked intently, tried her best to suppress the joy in her heart, stood up, and walked out quickly.

"Longbai Ant King, where's Mo Lan?" Wuye looked around.

Long Bai shook his tentacles and pointed to the left side.

Under the moonlight, in the shadow of the walnut tree, Mo Lan's figure looms large.

Mo Lan asked, "Wuye, has there been any major changes in the past three years?"

Wuye: "No. Everything is the same as before. I follow your instructions, observe and listen silently, and collect information."

Long Bai: "Mo Lan and I came here this time to find out how much useful information you have collected."

Wuye: "A lot."

Wuye: "I've made it clear that the ant king of Berberis ant is currently the lord of the 5th age, and ordered to plant a total of 40 trees, each of which is a species bestowed by the gods of Berberis; one tree of ordinary Berberis is ordered to be planted, and the tree height is about 45" meters; one common long-leaved cypress, about 60 meters high; one mountain maple, about 65 meters high..."

Wuye: "The red barberry ant queen has a common god-given seed, the name is 'red barberry', and the strengthening effect is to strengthen the ability of metal elements, which does not match their awakened elemental talent, which is equivalent to wasting a seeding quota. .The other 39 are all common species, and one is Baibo species..."

The king of whiteberry ants and the queen of redberry ants are ambitious, and they choose high-quality trees for planting.

Wuye continued: "Our barley worm tribe warriors, the oldest Vitex mountain master was evolved 134 years ago, and is now at the 6th age. The tree is about 20 meters tall at present; the white leaf berry is also a shrub..."

Wuye gave detailed information about all the fighters of the Barley Bug tribe.

At present, there are 14 Shanzhu-level barley bug fighters, ranging in age from more than 100 to 40 to [-] years old.

The higher the age, the longer the life plant will grow, the taller the tree will be, and the output will be more.

Wuye understood the intention of Longbai, not only counted the detailed plant species, tree height, and output, but also learned about the distribution of these outputs.

Every worm, every kind of force food, and food enhancement has an upper limit problem.At the beginning of eating, the strengthening effect is the most obvious. When the strengthening reaches a certain level, the effect begins to decrease until it reaches the limit.

The lord level continues to evolve upwards, requiring thousands of types of force food.

The current output of the Tilia worm country is somewhat difficult to maintain the continuous evolution of the white barberry ant king and red barberry ant queen.They have eaten very little of the force food collected every year, and most of them have been distributed to those barley bug fighters who are willing to surrender, as well as their own subordinate kings.

About 40 years ago, the white barberry ant king gradually relaxed the restrictions on the barley bug fighters of the mountain master level, and began to allow them to continue to evolve upwards.

At the same time, the white berber ant king is also wantonly breeding common barley worms, cultivating new barley worm fighters, and forcing them to choose designated plants as life seeds.

Wuye: "White Berber Ant King and Red Berber Ant Queen evolved to the lord level 126 years ago. After that, it took 1 years to evolve from the 2st instar to the 12nd instar lord. The evolution season is autumn; from the 2nd instar to the 3rd instar. , It took 19 years, and the evolution season is also autumn; it took 3 years to evolve from the 4rd age to the 27th age; it took 4 years to evolve from the 5th age to the 38th age, and the season of sleeping evolution was chosen in autumn. "

Wuye: "They were the lords of the fifth stage of evolution 30 years ago. Due to the restriction of the food category of the Force, it is very obvious that their evolution is getting more and more difficult."

Wuye: "Longbai Ant King, this is all the information I have collected so far. Is there anything else I need to ask?"

Long Bai: "There are 10 kings in the Termite Kingdom, but currently there is only one lord?"

Wuye: "Every year the fruit of the linden god bestowed by the gods ripens, and all the insects gather under the tree. The mountain master-level barley insect warrior of the tribe has carefully checked it. There is indeed only one."

Long Bai nodded, expressing his relief.

The order in which the white barberry ant king distributes force food is himself, the red barberry ant queen, the barley bug warrior who surrendered, and finally his subordinate king.

The reason is simple, the barley bug fighters evolve and grow, and can choose more life species that are useful for their evolution and growth.

Moreover, it can be seen that the white barberry ant king and the red barberry ant queen think they are certain of these barley bug warriors, and they are not very careful about their defenses.

The information provided by Wuye is detailed enough, and the data is enough to roughly calculate the time of the next sleeping evolution of the white barberry ant king and red barberry ant queen.

"Wuye, how did you obtain this information?"

"Part of it is from my daily observations and counts; part of the information is from the barley bug warriors meeting secretly and discussing plots; and part of the information is from my occasional questions from the elders of the same clan."

Seeing that Long Bai was suspicious, Wuye said, "I'm very careful, I only ask one or two questions each time, and I never ask too many questions. When everyone is discussing, I won't say much, just listen silently."

Long Bai asked: "You barley bug fighters often gather to discuss how to deal with the white barberry ant king and red barberry ant queen?"

Wuye: "We definitely can't gather often. We gather together every year before the fruit of the Tilia God-bestowed seed is about to mature and we are asked to gather under the Tilia God-bestowed tree. Occasionally, during the hottest summer, There may be small gatherings where information is exchanged."

Long Bai asked: "Who is organizing?"

Wuye: "It's mainly Shanjing, Chongpu, and Ronghua, the three senior mountain masters."

Long Bai: "Are they arranging other barley bug fighters to pretend to submit and continue to grow and evolve?"

Wuye: "Yes. The fighting power of the barley bug fighters is too weak. We need more mountain lord-level fighters, and it is best to have lord-level fighters."

As an ant tribe, Long Bai often thinks about how to motivate his command ants to work as hard as possible with the least effort.

Long Bai knew management very well, and said firmly: "This is a disguised form of manipulation and encouragement. It controls your growth and evolution in a disguised form, and facilitates the distribution of resources. It gives you hope and encourages you to survive. The mountain thorns and heavy Among the three mountain masters, Pu and Ronghua, there must be traitors! Maybe the three old guys have completely turned to the Berber ant king!"

"Ah?!" Wuye was stunned when she heard the words, "This...it's impossible...why?"

Long Bai: "The White Berber Ant King promises to allocate resources to help them evolve to the lord level and king level, so that they can live longer."

Wuye shook the tentacles vigorously, refusing to believe it.

Long Bai didn't want to provoke it, and said in relief: "This is just my guess, the purpose is to remind you to be more careful. My guess may not be correct. You don't need to verify it."

Long Bai continued: "However, no matter what, the information they give will not be false, there is no need to be false, this is enough."

Long Bai: "Wuye, we still have more than 15 years of preparation time, so don't worry at all. Don't make any obvious inquiries on weekdays. Just listen carefully and observe carefully."

Long Bai: "Next, you just need to understand the dynamic changes in the Tilia worm kingdom, and keep an eye on the evolution of the mountain master-level fighters and Zuo Wang. I will come to you to find out after three years."

Wuye: "Understood!"

Long Bai: "Also, pay attention to the terrain and terrain at ordinary times, and keep in mind the locations of the nests in various parts of the termite kingdom and the approximate number of stationed soldier ants and worker ants."

"I have observed this, Dragon Cypress Ant King, do you need it?" Wuye said, raised his claws and began to carve on the ground.

Long Bai shook his tentacles and interrupted, saying: "I don't need it for now. I will ask you before deciding on the action."

Like the ant kingdom, termites set up sub-nests for the convenience of managing their territory and collecting food. The sub-nests will change with the development of the territory and the depletion of food sources.Asking this now, doesn't make any sense.

Long Bai raised his claws, drew a circle on the ground, adjusted his position, and pointed out: "This is the east side, this is the west side. Wuye, you give the seeds bestowed by the Tilia god, the seed bestowed by the Baibo god, and the red tree god. Give me the species of gift, the distribution of the species of the termite king and the red barberry ant king, and the location of the termite king's nest."

Wuye: "All of them are concentrated in the middle of the place of force, and the Tilia god-given seed is in the middle. The concentration of force there is about twice that of mine here."

Wuye raised her claws, drew a small circle in the center of the circle, checked the direction left and right, circled the small circle, pierced three small holes in the ground with the tip of her toes, and explained:
"The god-bestowed seed of white barberry is here, the god-bestowed seed of red barberry is located here, and about 1000 meters away from the god-bestowed seed of linden, the white-berry ant king built two palaces as tall as mountains with the ability of the soil system .”

Wuye: "The common species of the white barberry ant king and red barberry ant queen are all scattered around the palace. Centered on the god-given seeds of white barberry and red barberry, there are various gardens of barberry trees, and they especially like barberry trees."

Long Bai: "What about the water source? Do you have an obvious dry season here? How do you irrigate? Should there be water conservancy measures for drought resistance?"

Wuye: "There is no fixed dry season, but droughts may occur in certain years. As early as the period of Tilia chrysalis, five reservoirs were built in the east, south, west, north, and middle. They were connected by rivers and canals to irrigate the entire Insect country."

Wuye drew circles with her paws to mark the location of the reservoir, and connected lines to draw rivers and canals.

The central reservoir is between the two god-given species of white barberry and red barberry.

Moreover, there is a river flowing past the termite palace.

There is also a reservoir near the center of the Land of Force...

Long Bai was pleasantly surprised.

Fighting in such a geographical environment, your own water blue soldiers can play a big role!
Long Bai once again solemnly reminded: "Wuye, you've done a good job. In the future, you don't need to do too much. Confidentiality and safety are the top priorities. Don't reveal the existence of me and Mo Lan to any insects."

"I understand!" Wuye agreed with a flick of her tentacles.

"Then Mo Lan and I won't stay long, come back in three years!"

Long Bai said goodbye and led Mo Lan away in a hurry.
