Astral Ants

Chapter 3 The Throne of Domination
Ants have pheromones and can mark paths with pheromones, but the duration is limited.

Long Bai didn't act hastily, but first conducted repeated tests and exercises to familiarize himself with the duration of his own pheromones, and then set off, taking the time to return to the main passage as soon as possible.

After several days of continuous exploration, all they found were violently damaged doors and looted rooms.

Even doors that could be removed from certain rooms were removed.

Occasionally, unknown items that were smashed to pieces because they could not be dismantled could be seen.

Luo Chen is right. Although the starship is large, each ant king can command tens of thousands of ant troops. After a long time, everything that can be taken away has been taken away, and everything that can be destroyed has been taken away. have been destroyed.

But there are exceptions...

……

Long Bai memorized many paths, and his courage grew accordingly, and he rushed to the depths.

Inadvertently broke into an unusually wide corridor.

There are thick round metal hatches in the rooms on both sides, which look super strong.

The doors are covered with various damage scratches. It can be seen that they have been attacked by the metal insect king, but they have not been opened.

A total of 10 such doors, 10 rooms.

Nine of them had been destroyed by worms from the side, and there was nothing inside.

There is no hole in the wall of the remaining room, there is only a hole near the ceiling that is not seriously damaged.

Long Bai flew up to the front to take a closer look.

The outer layer of metal on the wall was severely damaged by a savage attack by an insect king in an unknown era, but it was blocked by a dark golden metal plate sandwiched in the middle.

The sheet metal is intact.

There is a regular round hole on the metal plate. It should be that there is such a hole with a diameter of six to seven centimeters in this room.

Long Bai lay on his stomach at the entrance of the cave and looked into the room, and immediately cheered excitedly.

There is something!
In the center of the room, on the pedestal is a huge round ball with a quarter gap.

There are soft cushions in the gap and armrests on both sides. It is a bit like the creation of extraterrestrial civilizations that I have seen when traveling with caravans on the mainland - the seat

In perception, the force enters the room through the hole, and then gathers around the sphere.

It seems that it is still a treasure that independently gathers the original force and assists in cultivation!
Long Bai glanced sideways at the scarred door, and tested the thickness of the wall, feeling even more excited.

It must be something valuable, so the room protection is extraordinarily strong.

And because the ball seat was too big and heavy, it was lucky enough to survive.

—I'm sure I can't move...but I live around here!
——Can I use it to speed up evolution?
Thinking about it, Long Bai got into the room, flapped his wings and approached carefully, and flew around the 'spherical seat', looking up, down, left, and right.

The whole body is made of metal in deep azure blue, the armrests are in cyan blue with wooden texture, and the seat cushion and backrest seem to be woven in metal, dark blue with white spray and cloud patterns.

Long Bai followed the caravan, visited many zerg lords and worm kings, and saw and understood many strange creations of extraterrestrial civilizations. After checking around, he was 100% sure that this is a super-sized seat that can gather the original force and assist in cultivation. .

"There should be no danger, right?"

Long Bai calmed down his excited mood, and vigorously flapped his membrane wings, up and down, back and forth, over and over again, carefully observing several times.

I couldn't see any danger from this object, and I couldn't feel the danger, so I landed on the soft cushion with confidence.

as predicted.

As soon as it landed, the seat seemed to sense it, and the concentrated force of origin covered Long Bai's body autonomously, assisting the absorption.

Long Bai shook his membrane wings comfortably, not daring to take it lightly, he was vigilant for a while, and was 100% sure that there was no danger, then he folded his wings and lay down with peace of mind.

After laying down for a while, I quickly got up again, drilled out of the room along the hole, flew along the pheromone markers, carefully observed every door passing by, and kept in mind every corridor fork.

Fly back and forth three times, keeping in mind the path from the main aisle to the seat room.

Flying back to the exit of the starship where I lived, dragging the spider silk bag full of food for the winter, I hurried on the road, took two breaks on the way, and rushed to the door of the 'seat' room with difficulty.

In batches and several times, move the food and spider silk bags into the room.

After the move is over, rest on the seat cushion for a long time, greedily absorbing the force.

……

After moving to live in the starship, Long Cypress also insisted on timekeeping, using a wax tree leaf, and time nibbled a gap in it every day.

The dark room is dark and the time is unknown.

But this did not bother Long Bai.

The duration of pheromone is about one morning, and the approximate time lapse can be mastered through the natural volatilization of pheromone.

11 days later,

Long Bai vaguely sensed that an evolutionary breakthrough was imminent, so he took out the three grains of black brome that he had not been willing to eat for more than half a year, and ate them three times.

Supplementing with food from the original force broke the last layer of blur, and Long Bai began to feel drowsy. This state lasted for a while, and fell into a deep sleep.

The giant seat seemed to sense something, and the rate of absorbing the natural force accelerated, and it concentrated around the dragon cypress. After continuous accumulation, the ultra-high concentration of the force emitted a snow-white hazy light, like a cocoon of light.

……

I don't know how much time passed, and the original force light cocoon suddenly dispersed.

After waking up, Long Bai slowly raised his head, and after a long silence, he finally came to his senses: This is a certain room in the starship, and he fell into a deep sleep on a huge seat that can assist in cultivation.

Long Bai exerted his strength lightly, and a gap was opened in the carapace on his back. He twisted his body slightly, and got out of the old carapace bit by bit, and his new and tender body began to swell after evolution.

Stretch your membrane wings, wait silently,
The newly born carapace takes shape and hardens.

5th instar junior ant king!

The whole process went extremely smoothly. This time when I woke up from a deep sleep, I didn't have the extreme weakness of the previous three times. I only felt empty in my stomach and very hungry.

Long Bai pulled a piece of jerky, ate it with his head down, and sorted out his memory at the same time.

Every successful molting evolution will awaken part of the inherited knowledge, which is divided into three categories, namely, the knowledge of giant ants, animal knowledge, and plant knowledge.

In the memory of this evolutionary awakening, a new race-specific skill has been added: the release of pheromones to stimulate the development of ant eggs into specialized soldier ants that are larger than the queen ant.

A lonely male ant, where can I find ant eggs?

Without ant eggs, the race-specific abilities awakened at the fifth age of evolution would be meaningless.

Knowledge of flora and fauna is of some use.

For example, near the territory where the life seed took root, there is a tall tree with many fruits hanging on it.I didn't know Longbai at first, but now I know it. Its name is 'Junqianzi', also called 'milk jujube' and 'wild persimmon'. The fruit is edible, but not too much.

The seeds of Junqianzi are bred into life seeds, and the condensed force fruit has the ability to strengthen the digestive system.

"I will be promoted to a mid-level fighter in the future. I can consider a whole tree to enrich the food category of the Force..."

Long Bai was planning in his mind, while eating, while sorting out the newly acquired inheritance memory.

Inherited things are dead, and it takes time and brainstorming to 'read' them several times before they can be grasped initially, and they can be memorized in time when encountering them in the future.

"Ok?"

Long Bai's gnawing movements suddenly froze.

It seems that some unknown miscellaneous information has been mixed in the awakened knowledge.

[Experiment number GADSSS541, top secret]

[Creator Civilization, Throne of Domination, genetic information identification and reading system deleted and edited, escorted by the 168th Army of the Alliance Expeditionary Force, 741 Corps Commander Hou Wenfeng, and handed over to Section Chief Liu Zhihong of the Phoenix Galaxy GA541 Laboratory...]

[This battle did not encounter large-scale resistance, and the creator civilization no longer exists]

[The end of individual evolution is eternity, and the end of civilization evolution is extinction]

【Today of Creator Civilization, or Tomorrow of Human Civilization】

[The throne of domination is the last struggle of the creator civilization, and it is of little significance.But there are merits, which are worth learning from human civilization]

……

"Creator civilization? Human civilization? Extraterrestrial civilization is the same as Zerg, subdividing tribes down?"

"It seems that human civilization launched a war and wiped out a civilization called 'Creator'."

"Oh I see!"

"The 'giant seat' under me was snatched by human civilization from the creator civilization, and its name is 'Throne of Domination'."

Long Bai wanted to understand a little bit, but he was still confused. There were many things he didn't understand, especially why he obtained such a piece of information?
When Shenshui woke up, he realized that something was wrong, and there seemed to be some kind of connection between himself and the ruling throne.

Thinking about it, Long Bai couldn't get on his knees any longer. He finished eating the jerky at a faster speed, and took off with his wings, landing on the smooth spherical surface raised on the top of the seat back.

The vague connection became clear, and new information came:

【Please select the messenger type】

【Guardian Strength】

【Producer・Agriculture】

messenger?choose?

Long Bai was puzzled, confused, hesitant, and chose the 'guardian' at will.

【Please select the quantity】

【quantity: 1】

【quantity: 2】

There are only two choices, and Long Bai can only choose 【Quantity 1】

【Selection completed】

The ruling throne shrinks sharply, turning into an ultra-small 'seat' with a diameter of only six or seven centimeters.

Long Bai flapped his wings and soared into the air, calmed down after a brief moment of surprise, and landed on the cushion of the seat.

At this time, the ruling throne was neither too big nor too small. It fit Long Bai's body, and it was just right to lie on it.

Another ray of blue light emitted from the hemispherical protrusion of the seat back, sweeping across Long Bai's body.

【Scan completed】

[Physical condition is poor, nutrition and physical fitness are deficient, please replenish food in time, pay attention to drinking water, and exercise properly]

【Messenger function off】

Long Bai: "???"

Long Bai was silent.

"The throne of domination is the last struggle of the creator civilization..."

"Although I don't know what it is for, but I can confirm that it is a treasure, that's enough..."

Long Bai flapped his wings and landed on the ground, took a piece of jerky and continued to eat, while contacting with his mind, trying to control it.

The throne of dominance rapidly enlarged and returned to its original 'giant seat' appearance.

Think again,

The ruling throne shrunk sharply, reaching a limit of about 3 centimeters in diameter, and could no longer shrink.

Long Bai tried to hold it up with his claws, but it was extremely heavy, and the strength of the fifth-year junior ant king could not shake it at all.

"Can't you take it with you?"

Long Bai's thoughts changed, and he tried to control the throne to become lighter.

no response.

Try to control scrolling again.

The throne of dominion was really rolling.

Long Bai was overjoyed, and looked at the entrance and exit hole on the wall of the room: he can't get out of it.

Think again and try to control the takeoff.

The throne of dominion really rose from the ground.
