Astral Ant Tribe

The door is more than ten centimeters thick.

Long Bai and Ghost Fan took turns to come in, and it took 13 days. Finally, a gap of about 20 centimeters wide was opened at the bottom of the door.

The mental power is swept away,

Gui Fan was dumbfounded.

Long Bai jumped.

The opposite side of the gate is blocked and reinforced with earth-type abilities.

Ghost Fan said with difficulty: "Long Bai, these two gates seem to be pushed forward and then opened."

Long Bai: "I can tell..."

Long Bai: "It's not a big problem. Just invite Bai Fan over, use his 'soil improvement' ability to destroy it, and then take out a space big enough to open the door..."

Long Bai activated his soul-fixing ability induction.

Limited by the reinforced metal with golden patterns, Dinghun can only sense a flat fan-shaped area forward, and the sensing range increases as the forward distance increases.

No Force life detected.

"Long Bai, how are you?"

"It seems that there are no retired old spiders from the Flame Spider Kingdom guarding the area."

"That's great!"

"Don't be too happy yet. The exit here is at the foot of the mountain, level with the sea level. Maybe the old flame spiders are lying on the mountain."

"...It's also...possible."

Ghost Fan asked: "Long Bai, if we pass by, how can we communicate with them? Will we be killed?"

Long Bai: "The Flame Spider Kingdom does not want the secret of the passage to be known to other Zerg races. Therefore, we explain the situation of the Cloud Trail Continent and make it clear that no matter whether we leave the Force Star Boundary or not, we will not leave any tribal inheritance and cannot leave it. It’s passed on to the tribe. There’s no reason for those old spiders to kill.”

Long Bai: "It should be noted that the existence of Citizen Mountain cannot be exposed. Citizen Mountain will be passed down. The existence of the purple linden insect country cannot be informed. The purple linden insect country is large enough, and the barley insect warriors may be passed down from generation to generation. Go down."

"But……"

Ghost Fan raised his claws and knocked on the metal door, saying: "It seems that Jin Hewen's ability is difficult to conceal."

Long Bai: "We can no longer call it 'Jinhe Wen'. We have to change it to 'Metal Destruction', claiming that it is the metal ability that we have understood. After so many years and dozens of generations of spiders, most of them have forgotten the former Citizen Hill, and The three sacred trees of Citizen Hill.”

Ghost Fan: "The Flame Spider Kingdom also has wild god-given seeds."

Long Bai: "Yes. So we have to be extremely careful. The soul-fixing ability given by the Soul-fixing Fruit and the golden pattern ability given by Golden Myrobalan have distinct characteristics and should not be exposed. The wood talent gifted by Kunlanzi does not matter. It’s nothing special, there are many similar divine products in the world.”

Ghost Fan flicked its tentacles to show understanding.

Long Bai paused and continued: "After we pass, we will definitely encounter the Flame Spider Tribe warriors. All the insects on our side of the Cloud Trace Continent need to prepare a unified set of words. The most important point is that the Cloud Trace Continent only There are some Force Points covering an area of ​​more than ten or twenty square kilometers, and only a dozen or so Zerg warriors survive..."

Long Bai said, his tentacles suddenly stood upright.

A large group of souls of different strengths and weaknesses broke into the sensing range of the soul-fixing ability.

They stopped, spread out, moved up and down.

"Long Bai, what's wrong?"

Ghost Fan asked.

Long Bai was unsure: "Ant clan? Or termite kingdom?"

Long Bai: "Lord level...is there actually an ant kingdom on the opposite side?"

Long Bai turned around and looked at the map on the top of the cave.

Confirm repeatedly.

This is indeed an island with a length of about 60 kilometers, a width of only 10 kilometers at its widest point, and a total area of ​​about 400 square kilometers.

An isolated island in the vast sea.

Can such a big island accommodate a lord-level ant kingdom?

Whether it is ants or termites, it is almost impossible to cross the ocean and communicate with the mainland without mastering the water system.

How to evolve to lord level?

There must have been trade exchanges.

Flame Spider Kingdom?

Long Bai's thoughts changed rapidly and he figured it out.

It must be an ant king supported by the Flame Spider Kingdom to help them guard the passage here.

Long Bai turned around, faced the crack in the door, activated his soul-fixing ability, and observed carefully.

——The ants swarmed up and down the trees, mostly picking fruits from the trees.

——Similar to giant-headed ants, there are many different sizes. The small ants may only be a few centimeters and have only a faint soul, but they are huge in number. The souls of large-sized ants are strong and solid, and their body length may exceed 2 meters. The small ants are busy working, while the large ants are directing and supervising the work.

——Termites do not have such a large body size differentiation, and they do not like to eat fruits. Not the termite kingdom.

——That is a certain omnivorous or vegetarian ant tribe.

Long Bai calmed down, observed, thought, and made a judgment in his mind.

Ghost Fan waited quietly for a long time and asked tentatively: "Longbai Ant King, what have you discovered?"

Long Bai: "Preliminary judgment is that the opposite side is an ant kingdom similar to giant-headed ants."

Ghost Fan: "Uh..."

Ghost Fan was silent.

Not all ants are talkative.

On the contrary, each ant king of the ant tribe can form a country of its own, has a strong sense of territoriality, is warlike in nature, and is the most difficult to communicate with.

Long Bai: "Don't panic. Observe for another two days."

…

The soul-fixing ability is particularly laborious.

Long Bai withdrew his ability, returned to the throne and rested for a while, then came to the crack of the door again and sensed his soul-fixing ability.

The ant colony that had been busy picking had disappeared.

No traces of other souls were detected within the sensing range.

Put away your ability and wait patiently for a while.

When the ability was deployed again, there was still no sign of the ant colony.

Put away your abilities and wait...

After repeated attempts without finding anything, Long Bai suggested: "Ghost Fan, let's open an up and down vertical slit along the crack of the door? This can expand the upper and lower direction sensing range of the soul-fixing ability."

"good--"

Ghost Fan agreed without thinking, and stepped forward to use his 'Golden Pattern' ability to destroy the reinforced structure of the metal filling the vertical gap between the two gates.

Use up all the force at once and return to the throne of control to rest.

Long Bai took over and used his claws to scrape off a layer of damaged metal.

Come in turns.

At the same time, Long Bai also intermittently observed through the gap at the bottom of the door with his soul-fixing ability.

…

Another 13 days.

Ghost Fan and Long Bai worked together to take out another vertical slit.

The two gaps intersect horizontally and vertically, and the sensing range of the soul-fixing ability suddenly widens a lot.

However, no new discoveries were made...

In the past 13 days, Long Bai only captured 7 traces of the ants on the island. They were all foraging teams led by specialized ants. They seemed to be marching to hunt for food, coming and going in a hurry. He only stayed within the sensing range of the soul-fixing ability once. He was busy climbing up and down trees for a while and then left quickly.

Long Bai looked at the cave dome map again.

The island we are currently on is long and narrow, running north-south.

Then, his current location should be at the northern end of the island close to the divine barrier.

The northern end of the island is relatively narrow, only four to five kilometers wide.

The southern part of the island is more open and may be more than 10 kilometers wide.

The wide land means greater resistance to storms and severe weather that often occur in the ocean.

The main nest of the Ant Kingdom must be built in the south of the island.

If you are developing orchards, your main focus must be on the south.

400 square kilometers is not too small.

The other ant country doesn't pay much attention to the north of the island. It may just plant some plants that are easy to survive and require no management, and occasionally send an ant colony over to have some activities.

Long Bai thought from another angle, thinking from the perspective of the Flame Spider tribe:

First, the Flame Spider Tribe would never have imagined that there were Zerg warriors on the Cloud Trail Continent.

Second, the Flame Spider Kingdom should be the ancestral land "Shanglu" located on the neighboring Longbai Continent, not on the Molan Continent.

Third, among the Zerg tribe in the Moran Continent, who would find the equatorial divine barrier across a sea of ​​three to four thousand kilometers when they are full and have nothing to do?

Moreover, with such a large ocean area and such a small island, it is not that easy to find.

Therefore, based on comprehensive judgment, the Flame Spider tribe is very relieved about the concealment of the passage here, and simply supports an ant kingdom on the island to protect it on its behalf. Most likely, one or two senior spider kings in the tribe would stop by every year when traveling merchants go to the south to deliver resources to the island's ant king and check the passage.

Long Bai already had a more detailed judgment in his mind.

Stay and observe for another five days.

The whereabouts of ant colonies were captured three times.

One time, I went up a tree to harvest and stayed within the sensing range for a period of time.

Two times we were marching through.

The situation on the other side is basically clear, so we pack up for the return trip.

It's the middle of winter.

Ghost Fan dropped by Ghost Fan Mountain.

Long Bai first returned to Xianglan Mountain to organize winter fishing work.

After finishing his work, he leisurely headed to the purple linden country. (End of chapter)
