Astral Ant Tribe

Juniper lives up to its unusually large head. Although it has no awakening inheritance knowledge, its memory and understanding are very strong.

Longbai spent three days teaching Juniper the simple arithmetic of addition and subtraction, and started taking it around the mountains to teach it to identify the various plants on the mountain; teach it how to direct ant colonies to collect weeds and leaves to run biogas pools; and how to dig pools. etc.

Mo Lan also followed, focusing on teaching Juniper how to identify different varieties of orchids, as well as the cultivation and management of orchids.

…

The weather is getting warmer every day.

The six cypress trees planted near the ant nest eagerly sprouted new shoots.

The season has arrived, and Long Bai selects a location at the lower level of the mountain range and sows the green torreya seeds that were bred during the 9th instar primary ant king stage into the soil.

The vine seeds brought back in winter were also planted in a suitable place.

The soldier ants became more and more active, and began to follow the lineup of Long Bai, with 12 intermediate specialized soldier ants and 24 junior specialized soldier ants, going out in teams to hunt for large animals such as hares, squirrels, and moles.

Large soldier ants lead medium and small soldier ants around their territory, hunting butterfly, beetle, beetle and other insect larvae to enrich the nest food.

It’s time for the specialized worker ants, who have been on vacation all winter, to leave their nests to work.

Last year, only half of the pond in Longbai territory was dug and drained, and the process will continue this year.

Molan is also busy. Last year it cultivated orchid seedlings from four nurseries, which can be planted this year.

Jue Bai took 10 intermediate specialized chemical worker ants and 20 low-level specialized chemical worker ants with Mo Lan to help with the transplantation.

All the places suitable for growing orchids in the north of the mountain were filled, and we started looking for a place in the south of the mountain.

…

The orchid near the ant nest is blooming again, and the fragrance is lingering.

The four most important plants, namely dragon cypress, juniper cypress, juniper cypress and giant cypress, sprouted flower spikes.

Juniper cypress is the tallest and shoots up in spring. Its current height is close to 2.5 meters.

Both cypress and juniper are over 2 meters tall.

Giant cypress grows quickly and can reach 2 meters in height in no time.

Long Bai then directed several medium-sized worker ants to climb up the tree and cut off the appropriate amount of flower buds.

Counting, cypress, juniper and juniper retain 50 flowers, produce 50 cones, and about 250 to 300 cypress seeds.

There are fewer giant cypress trees, with 40 flowers and 40 cones, which are about 200 to 240 cypress seeds.

The four cypress trees are in a period of rapid growth. Sparse the flowers and fruits reasonably to reduce the burden and ensure the growth of the plants. They will grow to three meters, four meters, or five meters as soon as possible and become a big tree.

There are also two cypress trees, emerald cypress and dry cedar. You can consider letting them bear fruit for the first time next year and the year after respectively...

…

At the foot of the mountain, the growth of the azure god-given seeds seems much slower in spring. During the season of flowers blooming, the sixth broad leaf finally unfolds.

The tree is about 3 meters tall, and the diameter of the first leaf at the bottom is nearly 1 meter.

Zhan Lan is trying hard to dig down the roots, and the tree body is sinking. The distance between the first leaf and the water surface of the pond is maintained at about 20 centimeters.

The hibernating frog woke up from its hole and ran to the grass next to the nearby river ditch to look for food.

Long Bai drained the pond and led all the special chemical worker ants down the mountain. Mo Lan also came to help, and it took only half a day to dig out the field ridge that separated the small pond and the big pond.

The large and small ponds are dug and connected into one.

Seal drains.

Dig upstream trenches.

Start storing water.

"Long Bai, where's the frog?"

Zhan Lan is very sad.

After the hibernating frogs woke up, they all ran away without looking back.

"They're out there hunting in the grass."

Long Bai was speechless and said with relief: "Don't worry, Zhanlan, I built a shallow water slope at the edge of the pond. Those frogs will definitely come back to lay eggs after they have eaten enough and recovered from the weakness of hibernation."

Long Bai pondered for a moment and said: "Zhan Lan, I will go to the caravans to trade in two days. Then I will ask them for some rice seeds and lotus seeds to sow on the edge of the pond. Later, I will get some duckweed from other places. The pond With plants attracting various plant-eating insects, frogs will naturally be attracted to them.”

"OK."

Hearing this, Zhan Lan's sadness disappeared, "Thank you, Long Bai."

"Little things..." Long Bai couldn't help but ask: "Zhanlan, can you feel when you are blooming?"

It's spring now, and even the flower spikes of the azure god-given seeds are gone.

A plant height of three meters is not small.

Zhanlan: "I don't know..."

Although Mo Lan couldn't communicate with Zhan Lan, he could know that Long Bai was communicating with Zhan Lan through the fluctuation of his mental power. When he saw Long Bai's tentacles drooping, he understood immediately.

"Longbai, don't worry. It's probably the blue flower that blooms in summer."

"Um--"

Long Bai clicked his tentacles and waved them vigorously, calling the worker ants to gather and return to the mountain.

…

The two pools on the mountain have been dug, but they still need to be reinforced with stones.

Two kilometers west of the territory, a small mountain peak collapsed for unknown reasons, and large and small rocks rolled down the hillside.

Jue Bai led a group of intermediate and junior specialized worker ants to select suitable small stones and polish them smooth.

You can gather them together first and put them on the mountain, then go back to Longbai and use the throne of control to transport them to the territory.

All the work in the spring territory has been basically completed.

It was almost time. After two days of rest, Long Bai and Mo Lan packed up and set off.

…

…

…

Sunset dusk.

The caravan, which stretched for hundreds of meters, went down the winding and steep mountain road and walked into the mountain woods.

"stop!"

The vast spiritual power shook, and the leading Zeqi Spider King stopped.

The Watase Flame Spiders from behind stepped forward in an orderly manner.

"Zeqi Spider King! Zeqi Spider King!"

A mountain master-level flame spider broke away from the formation, dashed left and right, and ran up.

"Zeqi Spider King, the sun has just set. Let's hurry a little longer."

"Set up camp and rest."

There was a hint of displeasure in Zeqi Spider King's mood, "Master Bai Wei, please return to the team!"

"King Zeqi Spider, it's still early before dark, so let's walk for a while."

Lord Baiwei begged.

"Bai Wei!"

The Zeqi Spider King's tone became stern.

It was very clear what Bai Wei was thinking. It was the caravan gathering place anxiously arriving at Wanguo Continent, where there was a business dealing in the god-given seeds from Yunji Continent.

Bai Wei and Luo Li come from the same community. They are only two years younger than Luo Li. They are close relatives and have grown up together. Why is there such a big gap?

Luo Ji is shrewd and steady, neither hurried nor impetuous when speaking and doing things. Every account is calculated clearly. He has won the trust of many wealthy insect kings and currently has fixed trading rights for as many as 12 God-given seeds.

On the other hand, Bai Wei,

He has an out-of-touch personality and is careless, unable to do anything well.

Ten years ago, there were not enough resources to be promoted to Mountain Master, so it was all Luo Li's help.

I also like to tinker with some inexplicable new things.

It almost went bankrupt five years ago, but it was only through financial support from Luoji that it stabilized.

Clearly, it has learned nothing from its past failures.

"Zeqi Spider King..."

Bai Wei begged.

The Zeqi Spider King had no choice but to explain: "We have entered the territory of the Youlian Kingdom. We will set off at dawn tomorrow and arrive at Youlian Mountain on time. According to the agreement, the caravan needs to stay there for three days to communicate with the various queen bees and ants who are attached to the Youlian Queen. King's deal. It doesn't matter if you go early or late, you must stay for three days."

"Bai Wei, this is not your first time coming to Youlian Kingdom. You should be aware of the richness here. Get some rest early, recuperate your energy, try to win over a few ant queens or bee queens, reach a stable trading relationship, and develop your own insect network."

"oh--"

"Have you just arrived at the territory of Youlian Kingdom?"

"It's so slow..."

Mountain Master Bai Wei muttered and returned to the team.

When the Zeqi Spider King heard this, he kicked his legs in anger.

You don’t even know where the caravan has gone?

What are you thinking about in a daze?
