Astral Ants

Chapter 908: The second generation of Yu Teng?

Long Bai drove the Taber, circling the supergiant diffuse nebula, constantly making short-distance jumps, collecting information at fixed points, and making deductive calculations.

This nebula was formed 5 million years ago. Part of its matter originated from the early stages of the cosmic explosion, and part of it was ejected by the explosion of a giant black hole in the center of the galaxy.

During the complex evolution process, a tertiary source point was born, and was destroyed by the energy of a stellar supernova explosion about 22 years ago.

The collapse of the third-level source point brought down nearly half of the first-level and zero-level source points in the star field.

For the third-level source points to be reborn, these first-level and zero-level source points must first be re-derived.

This is a long process.

Final conclusion: The probability of the existence of a third-level source point in the 045 star field is less than %.

If the probability is less than 30%, then there is no need to waste time looking for it.

...

...

The Tubber returned and reunited with the survival mothership.

Bai Shi was teleported out from the command cabin to greet him, and was stunned when he saw him.

"Captain Longbai, if I remember correctly, you took Qianli Chunyu with you on a long journey to look for Molan and Shan Lingyi..."

Longbai and Shan Lingyi are back...

But what about Molan and Qianli Haruyu?
"There is a situation!"

Long Bai said in a gloomy tone, "Bai Shi, immediately notify all management bugs of level 18 and above in the Chamber of Commerce to come to the conference hall for a meeting."

"Roger that!"

Bai Shi agreed and asked, "Captain Longbai, what happened?"

Longbai didn't say much, and directly activated the ability of the tree flower heart world, integrating Molan's discovery of the "Chaos Egg" and Taber's reconnaissance of the nebula, and deducing that the probability of the existence of a third-level source point in the 045 star field was less than 30%, and wrote it into Baishen's soul consciousness.

"..."

"so close!"

"Captain Longbai, luckily we found it in time!"

"Also, we have gained some level 0 and level 1 source points in these eight hundred years, so it's not too bad."

Bai Mi said this with a lingering fear.

If Molan hadn't discovered it in time, we would have continued to search in Star Region 45...

Then I felt uncomfortable again.

Currently, everyone’s main goal is the third-level source point. Racing against time is equivalent to wasting more than 800 years of precious time in vain.

Bai Shi acted quickly, returned to the command cabin and issued instructions.

quickly,

The core senior executives gathered.

Long Bai was too weak to say more, and used the tree flower's heart realm ability to directly write the information into the soul consciousness of the insects.

The insects who were chatting and laughing happily read the information, but were dumbfounded. Their mood instantly dropped and they started chattering and talking.

"The Second King is the Second King!"

"A blessing in disguise!"

“Fortunately we found it in time!”

"Otherwise, I don't know how much time we will waste here!"

"Not necessarily? Less than 30%? Then there's still a chance."

"..."

The cypress raised its claws, and the tips of its toes shone with white light, forming a full projection of the Amber Galaxy, which slowly enlarged.

"Under the current circumstances, there is no need to continue searching in Star Region 045."

"Move decisively!"

"Let's go to Star Field No. 41. According to the calculations of the Taber, the probability of the existence of a third-level source point is no less than %."

"Looking at the entire Amber Galaxy, unless you actively seek competition from a large chamber of commerce, this is the most ideal star region."

Long Bai said, zooming in on the star map and showing it in detail, "The team should not stop, continue searching as planned. Wait for the Second King to return, and for Du Dou to come over and report the situation. Everyone pack up and set off."

"The news can be passed on, and everyone should be mentally prepared first."

"Also, Hongfeng, go notify the Citi Hill and Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce and ask them to gather together. We should all set out together."

"receive."

"understood."

"understand!"

"..."

The insects agreed and took action.

Long Bai led Shan Lingyi out of the cabin, looked for a suitable location, activated the Sunburn ability, collected light information from the No. 41 star field, used the intelligent brain to assist in organizing it, and imported it into the Tabor. Tabor performed calculations and analysis and planned a preliminary route of action.

...

Two years later,
The team found a level zero source point, and all the insects returned to the mothership to rest and wait quietly.

Two years later,

The fleet of the Boshuwan Chamber of Commerce, which was operating nearby, came to assemble.

Two years later,
The Citi Hill Fleet arrived.

Two years later, the frigate No. 1 returned.

"Longbai!"

Mo Lan used her soul-fixing ability to anchor Long Bai across eight million kilometers and convey the message:
"Good news! There's a surprise!"

"???"

"you guess!"

"..."

Molan controlled the Glorious Throne, carrying Yu Teng, and arrived via space teleportation.

Long Bai and Shan Ling simultaneously raised their antennae and subconsciously concentrated their mental strength.

There is a chaos stone on Molan's head.

On the Chaos Stone, there lay a khaki flame spider warrior with a legspan of about 20 centimeters.

Eight spider legs firmly grasped the Chaos Stone.

This guy is actually absorbing the energy of the law of chaos!

Spider form,
"This is……"

"Could it be..."

"Innate Chaos God?"

"Derris?"

Longbai and Shan Lingyi both turned their gazes to Yu Teng.

Yu Teng said depressedly: "Fishworm. Half of my blood is mine."

Yu Teng: "I spent a Chaos Stone to accelerate its birth. And this Chaos Stone can speed up its evolution and growth. I lent it to Chief Molan."

Molan: "Fishworm, come and say hello, Great King."

The fish worm was nervous and alert. It used its eight legs to hold on to the Chaos Stone tightly. It greeted him in an honest manner, "Hello, my king~"

Molan: "Thank you for your hard work, my king."

Fishworm: "Thank you for your hard work, my king."

Molan: "Also, this little Zuo Wang, his name is Sugi Lingyi. Say hello, Sugi Lingyi."

Yu Chong followed up and said, "Hello, Shan Lingyi."

Molan: "Please take care of me."

Fishworm: "Please take care of me."

Long Bai: "..."

Sugi Lingyi: "..."

An innate chaos god that has merged the blood of the Flame Spider?

Their evolutionary level is extremely low, but their physical strength is extraordinary, and they are born with the ability to survive and move in the outer space environment.

He looks a bit mentally retarded...

However, the temperament seems to be...

Is this, completely inherited the temperament of Derris?
A plain ochre version of derris?

Shan Lingyi asked, "Intermediate little warrior? Second Lord, could it be that it started as a junior little warrior and grew and evolved from scratch? Isn't it said that the lowest level is half a star? The influence of the fish vine's bloodline?"

"Yes."

"Our divine bloodline is too strong."

"However, there is also a reason why the Chaos Egg has been in a harsh environment for a long time and is on the verge of death."

Molan analyzed and explained, "The lower the initial evolution level, the better. With a complete growth and evolution process, there will be more room for future growth."

Yu Teng agreed, "Yes. Yes. But the price may be a bit high. Fishworms cannot use force food to assist in growth and evolution, but Chaos Stones can... Chief Longbai, do you have any Chaos Stones?"

Long Bai: "Of course."

"That would be great."

Yu Teng said shyly: "Chief Molan doesn't have any. He borrowed two from me. Can you help return them?"

Yu Teng complained: "President Bai Wei only pays me 3000 Primordial Crystals a year, and doesn't pay me any additional compensation for my work. It took me 3000 years to save up 3 million, and years to save up million, which is not even enough to be exchanged for three Chaos Primordial Crystals..."

"..."

Long Bai was speechless.

Usually, Yu Teng is very quiet and hardly speaks. When people gather together to chat, he wanders around in the universe and doesn't participate at all...

It's just two Chaos Stones, why are you talking so much all of a sudden?
This is so weird, there is no one else like it.

Long Bai thought about it, and as soon as his mind moved, the space swayed slightly, and three Chaos Stones fell in front of Yu Teng, saying:
"Thank you for your trouble. I'll give you one more as a reward."

"Thank you, Chief Longbai!"

"Your Majesty is generous!"

Yu Teng happily accepted it.

The debt he had lent out was collected, and he also received an extra Chaos Stone as compensation. His heart was at ease, and his eight eyeballs became blurry and his gaze gradually faded, and he entered into that trance state again.

"..."

Longbai, Molan and Shan Lingyi were choked and their attention once again turned to the fish and insects above Molan's head.

Yu Chong stared blankly at Yu Teng's forehead, then turned around suddenly and stared straight at Long Bai's forehead.

Long Bai's thoughts turned, and the space in front of him was agitated. A hundred Chaos Stones were taken out and gathered in a group and floated in front of him. "Fishworm, come here. Come to the king!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

The fish worm was happy. Its eight legs tightly grasped the Chaos Stone. Its body floated and took off with the Chaos Stone...

"Don't go there!"

Molan shouted, and appeared beside Longbai in a flash. Lightning flashed, tentacles waved, and the whip crackled a dozen times. White light flashed on his forehead, and he confiscated all the Chaos Stones in one go.

"I discovered the Chaos Egg, and I cultivated the Fishworm with great effort. No one is allowed to steal it!"

Molan warned, her eyes flashed with ferocity, and without saying anything, she raised her claws, grabbed Shan Lingyi in front of her, and started beating him up.

"!!!"

The eight eyes of the fish worm lit up with a white halo of fear, and it lay obediently on top of Molan's head, not daring to move.

Long Bai: "..."

Sugi Lingyi: "..."

Qianli Chunyu went straight back to the mothership and notified Baishen, Baifan, Guishan, Xingyuncypress, Green Heart and other insects to come over together.

"Yu Chong, this is Bai Shi, the vice president of our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce who is in charge of interstellar engineering. Come on and say hello. Hello, Bai Shi."

"Hello, Baishen."

"Thank you for your hard work, Baishen!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Baishen!"

"Yu Chong, this is Bai Fan, the vice president of our Xianglan Chamber of Commerce who is in charge of foreign exchanges and trade. Come on, say hello. Hello, Bai Fan."

"Hello, Rice."

"Thank you for your hard work, Baifan..."

Meet and greet, introductions,
All the insects looked back and forth at the fish worms and the fish vines with strange eyes: except for the different colors, everything else is exactly the same~
Shan Lingyi raised his paw and asked, "Second King, just now, you said there was good news? A surprise? Is it related to fish and insects?"

"Yes!"

"Fishworms are awesome!"

"We're going to get rich!"

Mo Lan raised her tentacles and said, "According to Hei Fa's explanation, the innate chaotic gods have three characteristics: first, their bodies are made of god-level energy bodies, and they have super energy storage capabilities; second, their bodies will continue to expand with evolution and grow into giant heads in the starry sky..."

"Starry sky beast?"

All the insects fixed their eyes on the fish insect, suspiciously.

It's about the same size as a normal Flame Spider, right? Maybe even a little smaller.

Molan: "After we evolve into mountain masters, don't our bodies and souls take shape and stop growing? The innate chaos gods are different. Their size will continue to grow at a rate of doubling for each major level."

"When the fish worms were first born, their legs were only about 10 centimeters wide. Now, the legs of a first-year-old intermediate warrior are about 1 centimeters wide. According to the rules, the legs of a high-level warrior are about 20 centimeters wide, which is much smaller than a regular Flame Spider warrior."

"It is not certain yet. When it reaches the Mountain Lord level, will its body size expand and transform like a Zerg warrior? With half Protoss blood, theoretically, it should also inherit some of the life characteristics of a Zerg warrior."

"We can make an assumption. Assuming that at the Mountain Lord level, the fish worm's body size increases dramatically to 3 meters. Then, the Lord level is 6 meters, and the King level is 12 meters."

"At the Three Marks Realm, its body will be about 24 meters in length. At the Nine Marks Realm, it will be about 48 meters. At the Star Marks Realm, it will be 96 meters."

"Half-star realm has a span of 192 meters? Planet realm has a span of 384 meters? Star realm has a span of 768 meters."

"The Xingyao Realm has a span of over 1500 meters. The Xingchen Realm has a span of over 3000 meters. The Xingxiu Realm is a behemoth with a span of 6000 meters."

"Star Domain Master is 12000 meters, with a size of a survival mothership; Starry Sky Master is 24000 meters; Universe Master is 48000 meters. A chaos beast that devours the starry sky."

Molan: "The third characteristic is that during the growth and evolution process, the expansion of the god-level energy body consumes a terrifying amount of energy. If it parasitizes the source point to survive, grow and evolve, it will easily cause the source point to dry up or collapse."

"Due to these three characteristics, the innate chaos gods have another special ability that they are born with, which is to sense the flow of cosmic energy that other force life forms cannot perceive, and to trace the source."

——Searching for the source?
Upon hearing this, the insects' antennae stood up and their eyes lit up.

Long Bai asked: "Second King, do you mean that the fish worm can help us search for the source?"

Molan moved her tentacles heavily and said proudly, "That's right!"

Molan added: "Of course, it's not always accurate. On the contrary, it seems that it's not very effective."

"We have tested it with a level 3 source point. At a distance of less than one light year, we let the fish worm sense and determine the location of the source point. Perhaps it is because its evolutionary level is too low. After half a year of trying, it still cannot give an accurate answer."

"Forehead……"

The insects tilted their heads in thought.

The third-level source point should be the easiest to sense and judge, right?

Can't even measure the distance of 1 light year accurately? That doesn't make much sense~
Perhaps, the evolutionary level is indeed too low.

Mo Lan said: "The main task of fish worms now is to eat, grow, and evolve! The power of the law of chaos contained in the Chaos Ore Stone is the best food for the innate chaos gods."

Mo Lan asked, "My Lord, I remember that before you set out, you extorted a large amount of top-level resources from Si Shu and Xia Li. How many Chaos Ore stones did you have?"

Long Bai: "Quite a lot... probably enough..."

Before the Amber Galaxy's star network is established and star network accounts are opened, Chaos Ore, World Gem, Source Gem, Level 3 Materials, God-given Force Food and other valuables can be used as "hard currency" for commercial trade.

Before setting off, Long Bai prepared 8 Chaos Ore Stones in stock, 2 Chaos Ore Stones worth of World Gems, and 1 Chaos Ore Stones worth of Source Gems.

"It's good enough!"

Molan hooked her paw and gestured, "Come closer."

"..."

Long Bai thought about it, then took out 900 Chaos Stones at once and handed them to Molan to make a total of 1000.

"Wow!"

"so much!"

"Your Majesty, you are very secretive!"

Molan had never collected so much wealth before, and was pleasantly surprised. She happily accepted it and said, "Thank you, my king!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Chong stared, his eyes turned green, and then he expressed his gratitude.

Longbai waved its tentacles and called back to the mothership to speak.

Molan was very fond of the fish bug, so she took it to visit the mothership and introduced the big and small Zerg warriors to it one by one.

...

The evolution and growth rate of fish worms is similar to that of Zerg warriors. At the intermediate warrior stage, if there is an adequate supply of Chaos Ore, they can complete an age evolution once every year on average.

The cost of evolution and growth is a bit high. It took 2 Chaos Gems to break through and become a high-level warrior.

The body size is doubled. At the first-year-old advanced warrior stage, the legs span is just over 1 cm, much smaller than a normal Flame Spider warrior.

——If the evolutionary level is raised to a higher level, will the ability to find the source be improved?

The survival mothership was docked at the newly found zero-level source point with a Force concentration of 0.82.

Molan couldn't wait to call all the insects together and take the fish insects to do the test.

The Throne of Light carried it through several short-distance space jumps and arrived at the dark deep space about 0.5 light years away from the source.

"Yu Chong, calm your mind, sense and analyze, which direction has the source?"

Mo Lan gave the order.

"Roger that!"

Yu Chong answered in a sonorous voice, its eight spider legs tightly grasping a Chaos Stone, lying on top of Molan's head, its eight eyeballs flashing white halos.

A full half month has passed.

The fish and insect raised their claws to point in a direction.

"Second King, over there!"

"Wrong! Try again."

It took longer for the fish and worms to sense the situation again, a full month.

"Second King, is that over there?"

"No! Come again!"

"..."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the fish got a little panicked and started spinning around.

After half a year of hard work,

Even after pointing it out six times, he still couldn't point me in the right direction.

When the insects saw this situation, their expectations disappeared.

Is it not possible even if the distance is only 0.5 light years?

How much time is wasted if you make a mistake once?

There is no point in pointing out the wrong thing many times in a row.

Don't waste your mood.
Maybe the level of senior fighters is still too low.

Perhaps, one needs to evolve to the half-star realm to awaken one's talent.

Return to the mothership to rest.

...

Fish worms evolve every two years during the advanced warrior stage, and their size increases as they age.

Molan couldn't keep her head down anymore.

The fish worm began to walk on its own, slowly getting used to the life on the starship, becoming active, and wandering around in the starship.

This guy is not very smart. I can’t find the source of his bad behavior, so he learns bad things very quickly.

"Second King, Juniper bullied me."

Juniper received a severe beating.

"Second King, Xing Yunzhi bullied me."

Xing Yunzhi was severely beaten.

"Second King, Red Maple said I'm not a bug."

Red Maple was almost beaten to death...

Soon, the bugs on the starship were more afraid of it than the Second King, and they turned around and ran away.

...

...

The fleet waited another two years,
The poison bean cargo team carrying food arrived, and after some discussion, the survival mothership set off for Star Field No. 41.

The journey is 5700 light years away and takes 114 years.

Old rules,
Based on the existing data, Tabor has listed the 200 most likely natural star systems whose source points overlap with stars.

Longbai, Molan, Shan Lingyi, and Yu Chong took the boat and set off first.
