Astral Ants

Chapter 365 No Betrayal
The good news of the great victory of the expedition to the termite kingdom came back to Xianglan Mountain, and the whole country rejoiced.

However, there are too many aftermaths, and there is no time to celebrate.

The giant cypress and the juniper stayed behind, and with them in charge of guarding the kingdom, Long cypress could rest assured.

Send Qingfeng back to Kiwi Mountain.

Send Wufan back to Baifan Mountain, bring the good news to Chihu, and pick this year's god-given rice fruit along the way.

Go to Scarlet Light Mountain and Ghost Fan Mountain, and report the news to Sugar Palm and Raspberry respectively.

Sugar palm wove a large number of medium-sized spider silk bags and packed them away.

Go to South Suanzao Mountain to harvest the god-given red juniper seeds.

Finally send Heiti back to Heilian Lake.

Long Bai checked the operating conditions of the various territories, confirmed that it was correct, took the black leaves, and rushed straight to the Tilia worm country without stopping.

……

The cold wind from the farther north blows slowly.

The blue sky is hung with wisps of white clouds, drifting with the wind.

Bai Liu didn't know where he was or what he was doing, when he found the ruling throne, he galloped up to meet him.

"Longcypress Ant King! This commander ant is..."

"Black Leaf. You've seen it."

"Oh yes."

"Bai Liu!" Hei Ye had a lively personality, shaking his tentacles to greet Bai Liu.

Bai Liu flipped over in the air, her figure flickering, and she landed on the top of the throne, changed the subject, and asked, "Where is Heiti?"

Long Bai: "I arranged for it to go back to Heilian Lake. Your life seeds are very good, that is, your orchards, many of them were flooded by weeds, and many fruit trees died. I will properly compensate you for the rough stones."

"Oh--"

Bai Liu took off with fluttering wings, circled in a circle, and flew slowly parallel to the ruling throne, and asked, "Longbai Ant King, when can I go back to Black Lotus Lake?"

Long Bai: "The weather is getting colder every day. Maybe, in another ten and a half months, the water will freeze over. I'll take you back."

Long Bai asked: "Has the renovation of the palace been completed?"

Bailiuhui reported: "Completed. Baifan is transforming the sub-nests. Molan, Ghost Fan, Spruce, Mulberry, and Red Maple are helping. According to your request, they are all changed into domes. Cedar and Cuibai lead the ant colony to dig Canals. The life-planted plants of the barley bug warriors have entered the mature harvest season, and they have all returned to their territories."

Bai Liu: "This morning, the three mountain masters Ronghua, Shanjing, and Chongpu came to the kingdom to ask when they can trade."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and pointed, and said: "I went back to Xianglan Mountain this time and gathered a batch of Force Ant Honey suitable for barley bug warriors to eat, but the quantity may not be enough. Bai Liu, you go and inform the three mountain masters, senior fighters will trade first. The mountain master-level fighters will not be able to trade until next spring when I trade supplementary goods with the Flame Spider Caravan."

"OK--"

Bai Liu opened the distance with a flash, and the few flashes turned into black dots and disappeared.

Long Bai controlled the ruling throne to climb into the sky, accelerated the flight, quickly locked on the position of the working ant colony, and tilted down.

"Cedar! Cypress!"

Black Leaf waved its tentacles in greeting.

"Longcypress Ant King!"

"Black Leaf!"

Cedar and Cuibai trotted up surrounded by soldier ants.

Long Bai landed with Heiye in his hands, and said straight to the business, "Cuibai, you should bring more soldier ants and lead Heiye to familiarize yourself with the environment first. Then, Heiye will direct the worker ants to dig the boundary canal, and Cuibai you will direct the worker ants." Collaborate on the sidelines."

Cui Bai: "Okay, Your Majesty."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Heiye trotted, quickly climbed onto the carapace of a mountain master-level soldier ant, commanded it to move, and stood next to Cuibai.

Long Bai went on to say: "Cedar cypress, before the weather is too cold to freeze, you should open up a few nurseries first, sow the seeds of juniper juniper, silver cypress and azure persimmon in the coming year, and start raising seedlings."

"The concentration of force in the central area of ​​the Tilia worm country is high, and the land is precious. For the original barberry trees of various colors, only a few hundred trees of each kind can be kept, and all the others should be eradicated, and replaced with more promising silver cypress and sky green persimmons. Trees. For other cypress and persimmon trees, sow a small amount depending on the situation.”

Xiangbai: "Understand Your Majesty!"

Long Bai: "One more thing, here, the specialized blue soldiers are the main battle force of our ant country. But the battle of the blue soldiers is highly dependent on water sources... Therefore, it is necessary to dig more pools in the forest, one for irrigation and one for water. to fight."

Long Bai: "The pool doesn't need to be too big. The side length is three meters, and four meters is enough. If you dig deeper, four or five meters, I will ask Baifan Mountain Master to strengthen it with the ability of the soil system."

Xiangbai: "Okay, my lord! When will it start? There are not enough worker ants..."

Long Bai: "Heiye gets to know the environment first, and we'll talk about it in two days. There are still some worker ants left in the sub-nest on Hulan Mountain. I'll make two trips to transport them here for emergency."

Xiangbai: "Understood, Your Majesty."

Long Bai: "We occupy about 350 square kilometers of land in Tilia wormland, which is more than other places of force combined. The termite kingdom has been operating here for more than a hundred years, and in most of the areas, the large trees planted are themselves Not bad, no need to replace..."

Long Bai was talking about something, when he suddenly noticed something, activated the ability to fix the soul, locked Mo Lan's position, and established a connection.

Mo Lan: "My lord, everyone is very worried about their territory."

Long Bai: "Let them feel at ease, everything is fine in the territory."

Mo Lan: "Where is my God-given Seed of Lidou? Have you checked it?"

Long Cypress: "The height of the tree exceeds 35 meters."

Mo Lan: "What about Xue Lan's god-given seed?"

Longbai: "It was harvested this year, and the output is quite abundant. The average annual income can reach 1.5 rough stones."

The seed bestowed by Shen Lan is a five-fold ramet, and the yield is not bad.

However, the god-bestowed snow orchid seeds also strengthened the ability of the comprehensive wood system, and the quality was average, so they couldn't be sold at a high price.

Mo Lan: "Okay~"

The exchange of the ability to fix the soul was interrupted.

Mo Lan galloped over.

Spruce is not far behind.

Baifan, Guishan, Sang, and Hongfeng also ran over.

Everyone is mainly concerned about the status of their territories, Long Bai told them in detail one by one, and then arranged the follow-up work.

Long Bai: "After the transformation of the ant nest is completed, everyone will help dig the canal for a few days. First dig out the canal that divides the common territory of the barley insect tribe, and complete the reinforcement as soon as possible."

"it is good."

"no problem."

The insects agreed.

Long Bai: "After we're done, I guess it's almost time. I'll send everyone back to the territory."

--it is good.

--Row.

--Oh.

The insects agreed.

Baifan asked, "Can't you work in winter in the north?"

Long Bai: "Yes. The winter in the north can freeze the water into ice, so even the northern bugs have to huddle in caves to rest."

Long Bai: "Suddenly there are forty or fifty more barley bug fighters, and the metal tanks needed for the merchants and trade in Yunji Continent are not enough. White rice, ghost fan, you go back to the territory for a few days, and then go to Jianlan Plain, where There is a big river, you can wash sand by the river, collect metal gravel, and then cooperate with sugar palms to make metal cans together."

Long Bai: "First make a batch of small pots, the shape and specifications of which are the same as those of the flame spider merchant, and add bluegrass patterns, giant head ants and flower mantis warrior logos. I will buy them at a high price of 50 rough stones each."

Baifan calculated silently in his heart, waved his tentacles, and cheered up: "No problem!"

Ghost Fan then agreed, "Okay."

Long Bai: "The issue of income distribution... I shouldn't care about it, but I will give you some advice. Make a jar, white rice and ghost fan. You each get 20 rough stones, and the sugar palm gets 10 rough stones."

Baifan: "...OK."

Baifan asked, "Is the riverside in the Jianlan Plain high in metal gravel? How many can you make in a day?"

Long Bai: "I went to check it out, and the content is very high. You and the Ghost Fan can scour the gravel for making four or five metal pots a day. It's definitely no problem. If you add up, you can earn two to three thousand rough stones a month."

Long Bai: "Small tanks for merchants and traders, first make 500. Also, as I said earlier, the demand for square large metal tanks is 400. You need to wait for the sugar palm to evolve into a high-level fighter before making it. The price is OK. A sky-high price of 500 rough stones will be given. However, the large metal cans are not in a hurry. In the next few years, during winter leisure, you can go to the Jianlan Plain to search slowly by the river, which is a good project to increase income.”

"Row!"

Baifan's tone of voice was brisk, and he readily agreed.

It is very realistic, as long as the reward is in place, it can do anything.

"...Okay." The income of Ghost Fan's territory is high enough, and it is not very enthusiastic about working to earn rough stones.

Long Bai tapped his tentacles, turned around and said, "Everyone knows that Mo Lan gave birth to a sea blue tree god-given seed, and plans to sow the Southern Suanzao Mountain. My idea is that Mo Lan will go to sow the seeds in winter, and then we will plant them in There, I will guard and accompany you for a year. However, I also have an idea to sow the god-given seeds of white barberry in the Tilia worm country, and the next spring will have to be buried in the soil as soon as the spring begins. Therefore, spruce and red maple will need you in the spring of the coming year. The two came over to help for a while..."

Yun Shan: "OK——"

Red Maple: "Is there any reward?"

Long Bai: "Of course, on a monthly basis, I'll give you 1000 rough stones/month..."

was saying,

Bai Liu suddenly fell from the sky, "Longbai Ant King and Ronghua Mountain Master are here."

The three Mountain Lords Shanjing, Chongpu and Ronghua from the Damaichong tribe rushed over.

The destruction of the termite kingdom by Cypress brought about not only freedom and land, but also trade and the circulation of force food.

Although the Tilia worm country has a large area, it is only an isolated island of force after all. They are trapped here and are full of expectations for trade.

After meeting and greeting.

Long Bai jumped onto the ruling throne, first took off the three bundles of spider silk bags, and handed them to the three Damai Chongshan masters respectively, saying:
"This is a small gift from me to the warriors of the Barley Bug tribe. The spider silk bags woven by the flame spider warriors are waterproof, fireproof, insect-proof and moisture-proof, and can contain the original force, which can prolong the storage time of the original force food. Mountain thorns, mountain lords, Ronghua Mountain Lord, you distribute it to the tribal fighters first."

"Thank you, Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

"Longbai Ant King is generous!"

The three barley bug mountain owners thanked them.

Knowing in his heart that what they are most concerned about is the transaction issue, Long Bai jumped onto the throne, took down a large spider silk bag containing a metal can, opened it to display, and said:
"This is rice ant king honey. The domain of Baifan Mountain is brewed from the god-bestowed rice fruit produced by the god-bestowed seed of rice."

At the last meeting, I introduced in detail the various god-given seeds that exist in Yunji Continent.

The introduction is back to the introduction, seeing the real thing with my own eyes, the three mountain owners of Shanjing, Zhongpu, and Ronghua still couldn't help being excited.

The barley bug warrior is a talent of the life department, among which the three kinds of god-given food of rice fruit, black lingonberry, and green and red kiwi fruit are of great help to their growth and evolution.

Long Bai: "The god-given force food produced in Yunji Continent must give priority to satisfying the Zerg fighters in Yunji Continent. However, the production is limited. My idea is to give priority to ensuring the supply of high-level fighters to ensure that everyone can eat smoothly. Evolve to the mountain master level smoothly."

Lord Shanjing: "This is what it should be."

Master Chongpu: "The Dragon Cypress Ant King is right."

Long Bai: "The high-quality ordinary force food is in sufficient supply, and the god-given force food, I arrange according to the situation. This year is our first transaction, and the advanced fighters come first. In the spring of next year, after I trade with the Flame Spider Traveler, I will share with the public." Trade with a mountain master."

The three masters of Damai Chongshan nodded their tentacles to express their understanding.

Long Bai: "Okay, that's the deal."

Long Bai: "Is the harvest over?"

The owner of Ronghua Mountain: "Currently, most of the harvesting of force food has been completed."

Long Bai: "After the harvest is over...the Tilia god-bestowed seeds are ripe for harvesting, and they will be sent together for centralized trading."

The three mountain masters agreed.

……

After sending away Shanjing, Zhongpu, and Ronghua, Long Bai explained the next plan clearly, and arranged all kinds of work properly. The ruling throne carried Mo Lan and flew to Wuye's territory.

Wuye was guarding under a blood-skinned maple tree whose fruit was about to ripen.

"Five leaves!"

Mo Lan didn't wait for the reigning throne to land, kicked off, and landed in front of Wuye.

"Lord of Molan Mountain. Dragon Cypress Ant King."

Wuye Xiji asked: "Have you started trading? Are you here to trade in our barley bug fighter territory?"

Mo Lan: "...No."

Mo Lan: "That would be too troublesome."

Long Bai: "Every year, at a fixed time, everyone will come together to trade with us under the Tilia God-bestowed Tree."

The reigning throne is docked securely.

Long Bai landed with a spider silk bag, handed it in front of Wuye, and said, "It contains ant king honey worth 1 rough stones, brewed from the food bestowed by the gods, and it will help your evolution and growth. "

Wuye: "Oh——"

Wuye was a little at a loss.

Mo Lan said: "You have made great efforts to attack the termite kingdom. This is a gift from me and Long Bai."

Long Bai said: "Wuye, you are not young anymore, you need to seize the time to evolve. Every year in the future, Mo Lan and I will give you ant king honey worth [-] rough stones, up to the mountain master level."

Wuye: "Longbai Ant King, Molan Mountain Lord, I should be the one to thank you, you are the ones who rescued the barley worm tribe from the hateful termite kingdom."

Long Bai gently shook its tentacles.

Mo Lan persuaded: "Wuye, please take it quickly. Remember to return the metal can to us when you finish eating the Ant King honey."

"……it is good."

Wuye stretched out her claws to take the object, hesitated, and said, "Longbai Ant King, I want to use your ruling throne to speed up the evolution once."

Long Bai: "Of course there is no problem. About when? Tell me in advance."

Wuye: "It will be early spring next year."

Wuye explained: "I have obtained a seed bestowed by the god of hair, and I want to put it in my life bag to conceive it early... After the tribal warriors discussed it, it was rewarded to me..."

Cymbidium:"???"

Long Bai: "???"

Long Bai questioned: "This god-given seed is..."

Wuye: "The Tilia worm country has a large area. The way the whiteberry ant king and the ten Zuo kings search for the god-given seeds is to start the worker ants to harvest when the fruit is ripe, gather them together, and mentally scan and screen them, which is convenient and fast."

Wuye: "So, we barley bug warriors searched all over the mountains at night when the termites were resting before harvesting the fruits. Once we found the god-given seeds, we either destroyed them or secretly collected them and hid them."

Long Bai: "..."

Cymbidium:"……"

Long Bai and Mo Lan had wondered for a long time, how could there be only two god-given seeds in more than 100 years in such a large area and such a good force environment.

It turned out that the barley bug warriors were secretly obstructing!
Wuye paused, and continued: "But we dare not conceive it ourselves as a life-seeding seed. This hair-given seed was found four years ago and was hidden. The owner of Ronghua Mountain occasionally uses his healing power to extend his life. But it can't last for too long, it must be conceived as soon as possible."

Mo Lan suddenly turned her head and stared at Long Bai: Didn't you say that there must be a traitor among the three of Shanjing, Zhongpu and Ronghua?
Long Bai was also dignified.

If there is a mountain master-level fighter in charge who secretly colludes with the Berber ant king, it is impossible to organize the troops to do such a thing.

Was my previous judgment wrong?
That is, there is a mountain lord-level barley bug warrior who pretends to surrender, and confuses the white-berry ant king, making him mistakenly think that everything is under control...

Long Bai was overjoyed again.

Once things like destroying and hiding God-given seeds are exposed, these guys will all die.

Since they are all alive, it is enough to show that no barley worm warriors betrayed the tribe, which means that they are still united internally.

A united tribe of barley worms makes the worms feel more at ease.

On the contrary, a tribe of barley bugs who are suspicious and hostile to each other and fight openly and secretly may cause trouble at any time.

Long Bai: "The throne of domination has the supernatural function of repairing damaged god-given seeds. Wuye, you bring the god-given seeds of Mao Li, and I will try."

"it is good!"

Wuye ran back to the cave with the spider silk bag, and soon came over with a gourd container and handed it to Long Bai.

Longbai opened it, and poured out an oblate spherical fruit core. Scanning and checking with mental power, the natural force lines were dim, and the force fluctuations were weak.

If the storage time is too long, the original energy and vitality of the seeds will be exhausted.

Cypress jumped onto the throne and placed the seeds on the cushion.

Immediately received a prompt message in the soul consciousness:

[The seed of the natural force plant was found, and the condition is extremely critical. Do you want to treat it? 】

Cypress choice 【Yes】

In the next moment, the blue energy exploded, pouring into the seeds bestowed by the God of Mao, highly condensed, converging and condensing into a blue light cocoon.

It only lasted for a short time, and Long Bai once again received a message from the ruling throne:
【Complete treatment】

The originally dying seeds regained their vitality, and the dull veins of original energy regained their luster.

"All right!"

By the way, Long Bai took a small spider silk bag and put it away, handed it to Wuye, and said, "Next spring, the ruling throne will help you evolve. Put it in your life bag early, sow seeds early, and reap early."

"Thank you!"

Wuye stared blankly for a while, then came back to his senses, and thanked him in surprise.

Mo Lan's eyes sparkled, and she asked, "Wuye, how many god-given seeds have you collected? Are there any bad ones? Let's help fix them!"

Wuye: "...not anymore."

　There are too many things that need to be dealt with after the war. It is boring to write in detail, and it is difficult to simply skip the follow-up plot.

　　More and more, a compromise.
