Chapter 23 Big Rivers and Small Rivers
Food is scarce in winter, and there are many birds in the mountains living on wild fruits and grass seeds. There is no chance that they will get hungry and rush into their territory to look for food.
The god-given fruit orchid seed is about to mature, and Long Bai does not advise Mo Lan to leave the territory.
In addition,
Today there are 51 specialized worker ants and soldier ants in the ant colony, and 22 worker ant larvae waiting to be fed. These big guys have a huge demand for food.
In the ant colony structure, the number of soldier ants responsible for hunting is insufficient and the hunting ability is insufficient. Sufficient food must be stored before leaving.
Long Bai and Mo Lan agreed to wait until the middle of winter, when the God-given fruit orchid seeds are harvested, before setting off again.
……
It rained coldly and continuously for two days.
After the rain, it will be sunny
Molan hunted a wild boar.
Long Bai directed the ants to divide the ants, cut them into thin strips, and put them on a stone slab on the hillside to dry.
After several consecutive warm sunny days, the temperature has warmed up.
Shredded pork is dried into dried meat.
The biogas digester was almost completed, but the chemical worker ants were unable to do the work, so Long Bai came to work personally, worked overtime, and dug it out...
……
The cold wind is howling.
A new round of cooling.
It rains continuously.
A layer of white snow stopped on the high mountains in the distance.
The coldest time of the year.
Mountain North.
Mo Lan held the original stone and stood in front of the mother plant of the god-given fruit orchid. She caught the tips of her toes and scraped them off, and layers of white crystal powder were scraped off.
The raw stone crystal powder quickly turned gray, and the pure force escaped, and was absorbed by the fruity orchid god-given seed.
The final stage of maturity,
The surface color of the ramet capsules changes from vibrant green to dull dark green day by day.
Three days later, the whole body became dark green and began to turn yellowish.
After another four days, the peel turned yellow-green and the cells cracked, revealing the plump orchid seeds inside.
The fruit pandan seeds are finally ripe and placed in the sun to dry.
There were no accidents along the way, no loss, and a full supply of 308 pills.
According to the agreement, Long Bai received 154 pills.
Spider silk bags are stored and stored.
After all the preparations are completed, you can set off on your journey with confidence.
……
In the quiet winter, I occasionally hear the chirping of a bird or two.
Calm river surface.
The Throne of Control flies at a low altitude, slowly, and meanders along the river.
There is no force power at all here, and the throne automatically releases a layer of light blue original energy cover to prevent the loss of its own force power.
Long Bai and Mo Lan lay side by side on the throne cushion, motionless...
As expected of a god-given seed, the strengthening effect of fruity orchid seeds is extraordinary.
It takes almost a whole day for the seventh-instar king ant to digest and absorb just one pill.
One pill a day is too much. Every time you take two pills, you must rest for a day.
Corresponding to the rapid growth that can be clearly felt.
The God-given seed is too strong.
Long Bai estimates that he only needs to eat about 30 pandan seeds at most to evolve to the 8th age.
Mo Lan is an intermediate warrior in the first age. Her digestion ability is one level higher than that of Long Bai. She can eat two pandan seeds every day.
......
After struggling to absorb the force of today's orchid seeds, Long Bai stood up from the soft cushion, spread his membrane wings and shook, moved his muscles and bones, and at the same time kindly reminded those around him Molan.
"Mo Lan, please be more restrained. If you eat again, you will gain weight again next time you shed your shell and evolve."
"Oh——"
Mo Lan's self-control is very poor.
Long Bai’s suggestion to it was to sell 100 pandan seeds to the caravan and replace them with other Force foods that strengthen muscles, internal organs, blood, strength, speed and other physical aspects.
Comprehensive strengthening and balanced development are beneficial to the improvement of combat power and growth and evolution.
Mo Lan understood the truth, but it just couldn't help but be greedy...
Mo Lan felt guilty and a little impatient with Long Bai's repeated nagging, so she quickly changed the topic and asked: "Long Bai, you are already seven years old, why do you still fly so slowly on the throne of domination?"
Long Bai: "The improvement in age evolution is not that big." Long Bai asked back: "Mo Lan, how far did you run last time? It's been a whole day, and I haven't seen the particularly big one you mentioned. "
"I'm flying fast."
Mo Lan asked again: "Long Bai, could it be that you made a mistake? The river will not be merged into the big river."
"Impossible!" Long Bai said firmly."
Luo Li once said that there is an iron law of evolution of water veins in nature: streams merge into small rivers, small rivers merge into large rivers, and large rivers merge into a particularly large river, and then merge into the sea in the south.
Longbai flows down a large river four to five kilometers away from the mountain territory with a width of four to five meters.
You won’t get lost if you follow the river.
But this river twists and turns...
But Luo Li is right. Long Bai firmly believes that this river will definitely merge into the particularly big river that Mo Lan mentioned. of big rivers.
This is also true.
The next day,
On the third day of exploration, in the morning, a large river dozens of meters wide appeared in view.
“Mo Lan, we’re here!”
Long Bai controlled the throne to tilt up and hovered high in the sky to look at it.
Both sides of the river are covered with long green and yellow grass swamps and thick yellow reeds, which are connected with the dark blue river water as far as the eye can see.
"Mo Lan, downstream or upstream?"
Mo Lan: "Down!"
Long Bai controlled the throne to hover above the river and said: "This The river is too big. Left bank or right bank?"
Mo Lan thought for a while and said: "Left bank!"
Long Bai controlled the throne to move sideways, close to the right bank, and flowed down the river.
Both Mo Lan and Long Bai stopped eating the orchid seeds and lay side by side on the edge of the cushion, sticking out their heads and looking down, focusing on their search.
Throne of Dominance is indeed a bit too slow.
After flying for a day, a night and half a day, Mo Lan suddenly jumped up, looked around, kicked off the throne, flapped his wings and said:
"Long Bai, this is it!"
"Over there!"
"The kettle made of ice and fire was found over there."
After Mo Lan explained, he tilted and landed in a patch of weeds on the river beach.
It is quite far from the river.
Long Bai controlled the throne and followed him leisurely.
Levitating at low altitude, looking around.
Weeds fell over a large area, and there were messy dead branches and leaves.
Very obvious traces of flood erosion.
Long Bai asked: "Mo Lan, was it found here?"
Mo Lan: "Of course."
Long Bai: "What's more specific? I remember you said you found it in the grass?"
Mo Lan: "The heavy rain and the rising water only exposed a little bit of the washed-down grass. I have strong vision and keen eyesight." There was metal reflection on the ground."
"I understand..."
Long Bai gently touched his tentacles and analyzed: "It should be the water that washed the ice and fire kettle from upstream. Come down.”
“I think so too!”
Mo Lan agreed and said: "But we searched all the way and found nothing."
Long Bai: "How can it be so easy..."
Long Bai paused. Said: "Go down the river and walk for two more days to look. If we don't find anything, we will turn around and go back upstream from the other side of the river to look for it."
"Okay!"
< br>Mo Lan agreed without hesitation.
After searching the area carefully, we headed down.
Two days have passed, and there is still no harvest or discovery.
According to the plan, go upstream against the current.
It took another three days, but still no harvest.
Go straight back to the mountain territory to rest.
Stock up on food for the ant colony.
The Throne of Dominance restores the Force reserves.
Five days later, we set off on the road again and continued to search upstream along the river.
