Chapter 45 Bai Wei
Juniper cypress lives up to its unusually large head. Although it has no awakening inheritance knowledge, its memory and understanding are very strong.
Long Bai spent three days teaching Juniper a simple arithmetic of addition and subtraction, and began to take it around the mountains, teaching it to identify the various plants on the mountain; teaching it how to direct the ant colony to collect weeds and leaves for business Digester; how to dig a pool and more.
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 buds.
The season has arrived. Long Bai chose a location at the lower level of the mountain and sown the green torreya seeds that were bred during the 9th instar stage of the primary ant king into the soil.
The vine seeds brought back in winter were also planted in a suitable place.
The soldier ants became increasingly active and began to match the lineup of Long Bai. 12 intermediate specialized soldier ants and 24 junior specialized soldier ants went out in teams to search and hunt hares, squirrels, moles and the like. of large animals.
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 to leave the nest for a whole winter.
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.
Juan Bai took 10 intermediate special chemical worker ants and 20 low-level special chemical worker ants to follow Mo Lan to help with the transplantation.
All the places suitable for growing orchids in the north of the mountain were filled, and I 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.
Four cypress trees, juniper cypress, juniper cypress and juniper cypress, followed by flower spikes.
The juniper cypress is the tallest and jumps up in spring. The current plant 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 directed a few medium-sized worker ants to climb the tree and cut off the appropriate number of flower buds.
Calculating, 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, about 200 to 240 cypress seeds.
The four cypress trees are in a period of rapid growth. Reasonably thin out the flowers and fruits 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, green 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 high, 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. It only took 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.
Block drains.
Dig upstream trenches.
Start storing water.
"Long Bai, where is the frog?"
Zhan Lan is very sad.
After the hibernating frogs woke up, they all ran away without looking back.
"They are hunting in the grass over there."
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 eat enough and recover from the weakness of hibernation. Come back to lay eggs."
Long Bai pondered for a moment and said: "Zhanlan, I will go to the caravan to trade in two days. Then I will ask them for some rice seeds and lotus seeds, and then go back to the edge of the pond. Get some duckweed elsewhere. The pond will attract various plant-eating insects, and the frogs will naturally be attracted."
Zhan Lan heard this. , the sadness was swept away, "Thank you, Long Bai."
"Little things..." Long Bai couldn't help but ask: "Zhanlan, can you feel when you will bloom?"
It's spring, and the seeds given by Zhanlan even have flower spikes. There are no signs.
A plant height of three meters is not small.
Zhan Lan: "I don't know..."
Although Mo Lan cannot communicate with Zhan Lan, she can know that Long Bai is communicating with Zhan Lan through the fluctuation of her mental power. Seeing Long Bai's tentacles drooping, she immediately Just understand. "Longbai, don't worry. It's possible that Zhanlan is blooming in summer."
“Hmm——”
Longbai’s tentacles clicked and waved 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.
Juebai 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 is basically completed.
The time is almost up. After two days of rest, Long Bai and Mo Lan pack 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 mental 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, rushed left and right, and ran up.
"King Zeqi Spider, the sun has just set. Let's hurry a little longer."
"Set up camp and rest."
There was a trace of displeasure in Zeqi Spider King's mood. "Master Baiwei, please return to the team!"
"Zeqi Spider King, it's still early in the evening, please walk a little longer."
Master Baiwei begged.
"Bai Wei!"
Zeqi Spider King's tone became stern.
It is very clear what Bai Wei is thinking. It is the caravan gathering place anxiously arriving at Wanguo Continent, where there is a business deal on 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?
Luojun 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 insect kings of the wealthy tribes. Currently, he has as many as 12 fixed plants of God-given seeds. Trading rights.
On the other hand, Bai Wei has an out-of-touch and careless personality and can't 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.
Five years ago, we almost went bankrupt, and it was only through the financial support of Luoji that we were able to stabilize.
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 attached Youlian Queen Bee. The various queen bees and ant queens trade. It doesn’t matter if you leave early or late, you must stay for three days.”
“Bai Wei, this is not your first time in Youlian Kingdom. You should be aware of the richness here. Get some rest early, be energetic, 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 reached the territory of Youlian Kingdom?"
"It's so slow..."
Mt. 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 confusion?
