Astral Ant Tribe

After all, the two little guys Qing Ma and Hong Ma are only eight-year-old junior warriors. Neither Long Bai nor Mo Lan are very worried about their independent survival.

Long Bai took a trip to Kiwi Mountain to confirm that the two little guys were safe and sound. He planted the seeds of life in time and successfully passed the fragile stage.

Long Bai stayed for a day, patrolling around the territory, killing all the large beasts that might threaten the small warriors or the planted plants, leaving a jar of Force Ant Honey for them, and hurried back to Pandan Mountain.

Carrying another group of worker ants and blue ants, they headed straight for Hanlan Mountain.

It took seven days.

A temporary ant nest has been opened. Blue ants are permanently stationed in the ant nest, and 5 soldier ants are guarding the entrance of the ant nest.

Dusk as the sun sets.

Heiti has not yet finished his work and is directing the worker ants to dig a river channel at the foot of the mountain. 15 soldier ants were also mobilized to help carry the stones.

Heiti was accompanied by three large blue ants, and 10 worker ants, big and small, were resting next to the blue ants.

Long Bai understood at a glance that 45 specialized worker ants and 45 large worker ants were divided into 9 groups of 10, taking turns to eat and rest without interruption.

The 15 soldier ants were divided into three groups and took turns stepping forward to help.

This command is more efficient, but very time-consuming.

This guy Heiti is a surreal ant. He works harder than anyone else when he hears something good. He doesn't bother to move even if he doesn't get any benefits.

"Your Majesty——"

When the ruling throne stopped, Heiti ran forward to greet him enthusiastically.

"I brought 20 more large soldier ants this time. You can arrange to strengthen the defense of the ant nest."

"I know! Your Majesty."

"It's almost time, go back to the nest early and rest."

"Calm down after dark!"

Long Bai didn't say much and put down the board.

Heiti helped set it up, waved his tentacles, and called the worker ants and soldier ants on the throne to come down and work together.

Long Bai also brought the blue ants over this time, stayed there for a night's rest, and spent a day going into the forest alone to hunt large animals and reserve enough food for the working ant colony.

Heiti stayed behind to direct the excavation.

Long Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain and packed his bags.

It's still late spring.

This autumn, the seeds from the God-given rice are ripe. So, first bring 1,000 raw stones and 10 cans of raw food, pack lightly, and head straight to Baifanshan.

After completing the transaction with Bai Fan and Wu Fan, he rushed west to Ghost Fan Mountain to complete the transaction with Ghost Fan and Raspberry.

Heading north, we pass by the Nanzijuo Mountain, inspect the area, and take care of the God-given seeds of Nanzizizi and the cultivated vines.

Further north, pass by Black Lotus Lake and replenish food reserves for the ant colony there.

After a circuit, he returned to Xianglan Mountain, rested for two days, and then set off with 3,000 rough stones and 4 cans of Force Ant Honey. Overloaded, he wandered to Feiguang Mountain to complete the harvest of the God-given crimson fruit.

The things are transported back to Xianglan Mountain, and the trading business of traveling merchants is completed in late spring and early summer this year.

The temperature is getting hotter day by day.

The god-given seed bred by Cui Hua Han Lan has entered the peak season of growth and development, and Mo Lan stands by her side to prevent any accidents.

The three God-given seeds of Fragrant Orchid, Azure Blue, and Bean Gorilla bloomed one after another and bore fruit smoothly.

In the Azure Reservoir at the foot of the mountain, the black lotus seed planted in the early spring of this year grew rapidly, and three flower buds were taken out before summer.

High-level black lotus seeds can be harvested this year, and Heiti's evolution can be accelerated a lot.

…

Long Bai rested on the mountain for five days, then set off again with 30 specialized blue soldiers and several worker ants.

Not in a hurry.

First, we went to Kiwi Mountain to visit the two little guys, Green Maple and Red Maple. We took them to work and taught them various tips on how to manage the territory. We stayed for four or five days.

The sky is thin with clouds and the sun is bright.

It was almost the midsummer dry season before we set off across the vast mountains to Hanlan Mountain.

Half afternoon.

In the woods at the foot of the mountain, Heiti and his ant colony were enjoying the shade in the shade.

The ruling throne slowly descended, hovering above the muddy swamp.

The river diversion project has been completed.

Around the swamp and mire, the eight planned drainage ditches have been initially dug.

The weeds have been cleared away, and the mud has dried and cracked under the scorching sun.

"Your Majesty!"

Heiti ran over with the ant colony.

"Heiti, you did a good job!"

Long Bai praised and put down the board.

Heiti quickly ran forward to respond, adjusted his position, waved his tentacles, and called the blue soldiers, worker ants, and blue ants on the throne to come down to the ground, and asked at the same time:

"Your Majesty, can we dig?"

"Can!"

Long Bai added: "Every day we dig at sunset and shovel away a layer of surface clay. The next day, after the scorching sun burns and dries up a layer, we lead the worker ants to shovel it away at dusk."

"One layer a day, layer by layer. I also brought 30 specialized blue soldiers here to work on weekdays and arrange for them to guard one side. If any worker ants get stuck in the mud, rescue them in time. If they encounter any ants during the excavation process, If it rains, command the blue ants to drain water with their water ability."

"……Understood."

Heiti didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask any more questions. He invited the new blue soldiers and worker ants to go to the woods to rest, and led the new blue soldiers and worker ants to familiarize themselves with the road leading to the ant nest on the mountain.

Long Bai controlled the throne to stop in the woods, randomly selected, and brought 10 special chemical worker ants to the center of the quagmire. He found the position facing the treasure house, tapped his tentacles, and issued a long series of complicated instructions.

10 special chemical ants closed their jaws in a flat shovel shape, buried their heads, shoveled into the mud layer, dug up large chunks of clay, and turned around to transport it away.

Long Bai led the way, transported them to the designated place, and continued to issue instructions.

The special chemical worker ant opened its jaws, and a large soldier ant stepped forward and used its curved and slender sickle-like teeth to help scrape off the clay stuck to the special chemical worker ant's jaw teeth.

——The efficiency is not bad!

——Heiti directs the worker ants to dig, and here I direct the soldier ants to scrape.

Long Bai silently evaluated and calculated, shook his tentacles, and called four special chemical worker ants to follow him to the center of the quagmire to continue testing.

Heiti came down the mountain after finishing his work and followed to watch.

The worker ants ran back and forth more than ten times and dug a deep pit with a diameter of more than 3 meters and a depth of nearly 1 meter.

Further down, there is soft mud that can trap ants.

Heiti understood Long Bai's arrangement at this time and asked confusedly: "Your Majesty, is there such mud down there?"

Long Bai: "At least the bottom four to five meters deep is filled with thin mud."

Heiti: "Your Majesty, why is this happening? Is it because of the treasure house?"

Long Bai raised his head, considered his words, and said: "The raw energy metal used in the starship treasure house is extremely strong and heavy. It fell from the sky and hit here, creating a huge deep pit."

"If you look at the nearby landforms, they are all hills, and if you pay close attention, you will find that they are all made of clay with high viscosity. Every year during the rainy season, especially during heavy rains, the clay on the mountains turns into mud, which flows down the river and flows into the treasure trove. Potholes, accumulated over time, have formed a quagmire here.”

"It is surrounded by high ground, but the location where the treasure house was smashed is low. During the rainy season, not only are rivers on the ground pouring water here, but also groundwater is constantly seeping into the pit in invisible places underground."

Long Bai: "The combination of many factors has created such a mud pit that is quite difficult to deal with."

While Long Bai was speaking, he observed Heiti's reaction.

Probably because he had eaten black lotus seeds, Heiti's brain is very flexible. Judging from his appearance, he understands about seven to eight points.

"...Understood." Heiti replied thoughtfully.

He is indeed a guy with strong learning and understanding abilities! Long Bai waved his tentacles and said:

"It's almost time, we can start work. Heiti, you are responsible for directing the excavation. The worker ants will get stuck in the mud, be careful to leave a way out, and dig backwards from east to west."

"I understand!" Heiti suddenly figured it out and agreed loudly, waving his tentacles vigorously and issuing instructions to the ants in the forest.

The ants came out and started work.
