Astral Ant Tribe

It’s another year of heavy rain in midsummer.

Ghost Fan Mountain.

In the central area of ​​the mountain where plants are concentrated, Ghost Fan was clearing away the mud, rocks and dead branches and leaves that blocked the drainage channel. He suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation in the force. He looked up and saw that the throne of control on the top of the mountain was slowly approaching in the distance.

——Didn’t it mean that Xianglan Mountain was building a reservoir and was very busy, so we only came here in winter?

--What happened?

Gui Fan thought, became nervous, ran quickly, and stood in a conspicuous position.

Long Bai saw the ghost fan, and the ruling throne turned slightly and tilted down.

"Longbai Ant King, Mo Lan, what's wrong..."

Gui Fan asked, and with a sweep of his mental energy, he found the little Kukja warrior standing above Mo Lan. He understood something and was stunned.

"Ghost fan!"

"We're back again."

Long Bai and Mo Lan greeted.

Mo Lan got straight to the point and asked directly: "Gui Fan, what do you think of this newly awakened three-spotted armored warrior?"

Long Bai also said: "If you are willing to take care of it, you can arrange it to stay with you at Ghost Fan Mountain."

"Forehead--"

Ghost Fan came back to his senses and asked: "Is it willing to take root here?"

Long Bai: "It has no better place to go."

Long Bai: "Although this mountain col is not large in area, its Force concentration is definitely one of the best among the Force places discovered so far. It can fully accommodate two or three Zerg warriors."

Ghost Fan: "Yes..."

Mo Lan: "Mujianjia and Koujia are both elytra beetles. For hundreds of millions of years, you are also the same species."

"That makes sense..."

Ghost Fan asked: "How should I take care of the little warrior? Can I just give it Force food?"

It can be seen that Gui Fan is very willing to keep this little warrior, but he is worried that he cannot take good care of it.

Moreover, Gui Fan's worries are not unnecessary. The little guy, who is only a centimeter in size, is too easy to die unexpectedly.

Birds, snakes, rats and other predatory animals in the forest can easily kill it.

Long Bai said: "Ghost Fan, you need to spend a few months or even a year to take good care of it and keep it with you at all times. If you are going to work in the fields, remember to arrange it in a safe place, preferably a residence. Cave.”

Mo Lan suddenly had a brilliant idea and suggested: "Ghost Fan, can't you manipulate the metal gravel to make holes inside the wood? Find a tree stump, drill a lot of holes, and make a movable insect nest for it. You When working normally, just take the insect nest with you, place it nearby, and tell it not to run around."

Long Bai: "As a junior warrior, if you have enough Force food, you can shed your shell and evolve once every three months. Each time you complete one stage of evolution, you will be much safer. After the 4th stage, you don't have to worry too much."

Long Bai and Mo Lan sang together, dispelling Gui Fan's few worries.

Ghost Fan said: "As long as it is willing to stay, I definitely have no objection."

Mo Lan said: "Ghost Fan, if you take out the ant honey and show it, it will definitely be willing to do it."

Ghost Fan: "Uh..."

Ghost Fan ran back to the cave where he lived, ran back with the metal can, and opened the lid.

Mo Lan fluttered her wings and landed.

"Little guy, go to the Ghost Fan quickly, it has endless supply of Force Ant Honey."

The little armored warrior spread his wings, hovered on the metal pouring mouth, and looked down.

The ant honey has been eaten up to less than half and cannot be reached.

The tentacles of the ghost fan were bent, and he picked up a little bit and handed it to the little Kukja warrior.

"eat……"

The little armored warrior held the tentacles of the ghost fan in his paws and licked them.

Ghost Fan was elated with joy and asked: "What plant did it choose for its first life?"

Long Bai: "I haven't chosen yet."

Mo Lan: "Are there ripe raspberries on the mountain? Raspberries are quite suitable for it."

Ghost Fan thought about it for two seconds and asked: "Then its name is 'Raspberry'?"

Mo Lan: "Then we have to wait until it gestates the first life seed."

Ghost Fan: "There are several big bushes on the mountain where I live. It will take some time to get used to them."

Long Bai reminded: "Don't give too much force food to the newborn warrior at one time."

"I see!"

Ghost Fan gently moved his tentacles and placed the little armored warrior lying on the tentacles on top of his head. The other tentacle dipped some ant honey from the jar and applied it to the carapace of his forehead.

The metal ability controls the bottle cap to fly up and close it.

Seeing this, Long Bai said: "Okay, Ghost Fan, I'll leave this three-spotted armored warrior to you. Mo Lan and I have to return to Xianglan Mountain quickly. If the reservoir cannot be completed as scheduled, Mo Lan will not be promoted to a high level." Mantis warrior."

Ghost Fan said seriously: "I understand! I won't keep you here."

…

…

…

This trip took another 25 days.

It's late summer.

Xianglan Mountain, north.

The 18 ramets of the God-given seed of Gorgon fruit are fully grown and surround the mother plant in a large area.

The mother plant has also completed its second development. It still has five leaves, but each leaf has a diameter of about 1.5 meters and a height of three meters. It stands proudly on the water and sways gently with the breeze.

The God-given seed of Gorgon Fruit has entered a stable stage of absorbing light and force and accumulating energy.

Mo Lan was completely relieved.

During their absence, Juniper led the ant colony and peeled away nearly one meter of the mountain's bark on the west side.

Projects to expand the lake area are on hold.

Long Bai came back and turned around to continue the construction of the dam foundation.

Divide into sections and build in batches.

First dig a deep pit with a length of 3 meters, a width of 2 meters and a depth of 2 meters.

After the pit is dug, the King's Throne should be transported with a height of more than 8 meters, and hard-textured pine, cypress, fir and other wood should be placed vertically in the pit.

A rope of spider silk was tied to one end of the wood.

Long Bai and Mo Lan led a group of special chemical ants to pull the spider silk rope, hoisted it with the control throne, and erected the wood vertically.

Juniper directs the worker ants to backfill the pit with large and small rocks and clay.

After it was filled, Long Bai manipulated the throne to hit the ground up and down repeatedly to consolidate the foundation.

The design length of the embankment is 50 meters and the width is 8 meters. In a block-by-block manner, pits are dug, piles are erected, backfilled, and compacted block by block.

When the juniper has nothing to do, it takes the soldier ants everywhere to collect gravel, and when backfilling, it can also command the soldier ants to help load the materials.

Thousands of soldier ants and worker ants, large and small, work together in an orderly manner.

One pit a day.

Two months later, the foundation of the dike was initially completed.

Looking around, there are sixty-six wooden piles standing densely.

It's mid-autumn.

Long Bai and Mo Lan fell asleep and evolved once.

At the age of 9, Mo Lan chose Tianqing Persimmon as his life seed, and planned to evolve into a high-level warrior during the perfect spring season next year.

At the 7th age of Cypress, one of my God-given seeds of gorgon fruit has been conceived. I carefully collect it and sow it in the spring of next year. I also choose the sky green persimmon as the seed of the new age.

Long Bai still needs to dig a pond himself.

Time is running out.

After evolving, rest for two days and continue building the dam.

Long Bai continued to use the throne to lift the wood and lay it horizontally.

The juniper cedar commanded the worker ants, and the juniper cypress also commanded the soldier ants to assist, backfilling the previously dug meter with clay and gravel on a large scale, and the backfill was flush with the surrounding ground.

As the embankment goes up, it must be built into a trapezoid shape, one layer at a time, 0.5 meters apart, and some wood must be laid horizontally on each layer to serve as the 'skeleton' of the embankment.

The width at the bottom is 10 meters, and the width of each layer is reduced by 0.5 meters, layer by layer, to the width of 2 meters at the top.

The main materials are still clay, stone and wood.

Not enough materials...

The troops were divided into three groups,

Jue Bai directed a group of worker ants to continue digging on the west slope of the North Reservoir, collecting clay and gravel to expand the reservoir's capacity.

Long Bai led a group of worker ants to the south of the mountain. He picked a gently sloping land in a low-lying land 1,500 meters away from the pond where the azure god-given seeds took root, and started preparing a pond for his god-given seeds to take root.

The juniper commanded the soldier ants to pick up stones all over the mountains and plains.

Mo Lan is not idle either. She specializes in hunting and hoarding food for the ant nest.
