Chapter 54 Return to the South Jujube Mountain
There have been wild fruits ripening intermittently in the mountains. Mo Lan has been looking for them, and Long Bai occasionally participated, picking back a large number of fresh berries and refining them into ant honey.
I searched twice up and down the mountain, but failed to harvest the seed given by the gods.
Similar to last year, Long Bai first sent Molan and 10 specialized blue ants to the Molan Mountains.
Mo Lan searched for the seeds given by the gods and picked some wild fruits that were not found in Pandan Mountain.
Specialized blue ants are refined to brew ant honey.
Longbai returned to the Pandan Mountains and waited for the birth of juniper.
As predicted, half a month later, the giant ant cocoon was torn apart from the inside.
Giant soldier ants!
The pale yellow and tender carapace hardens quickly and turns black until it is completely black.
Body length is about 70 cm.
Hooked jaws, a huge head, a slender chest and abdomen, and six slender legs.
The body structure is good at running fast and biting and fighting.
It looks a bit tough.
"Juniper?"
Long Bai shook his tentacles and tried to communicate.
“Longbai.”
Junior directly called out Longbai’s name.
“Huh?”
Long Bai was stunned and asked: “Juniper, do you know your name?”
Juniper: "I know. You called me."
Longbai: "The larval stage?"
Juniper: "Yes."
Longbai suddenly understood , intelligent worker ants and gigantic soldier ants were born with consciousness in the larval stage.
When the juniper cypress was in the larval stage, the juniper cypress was a little busy. The worker ants were taking care of it and they didn’t pay attention.
When Long Bai is idle this summer, he often brings the larval stage of Juniper to the throne of dominion to replenish its force and keep it with him from time to time.
"Have you learned a lot from me?" Long Bai asked.
"No~" Juniper shook his tentacles and said: "You are always sleeping."
Longbai: "..."
At this time,
Jue Bai received the message and ran over quickly.
The juniper immediately said: "It's juniper! Command the worker ants."
The juniper waved its tentacles to the juniper again, greeting, "Juniper, I know you!"
Juniper was not surprised and responded: "Congratulations, Juniper, for successfully completing the emergence. From now on, the security of the territory of Pandan Mountain and the food for the ant nest will be left to you."
Juniper : "I know! I heard you and Long Bai discussing..."
The two guys started chatting directly.
Okay.
Save me the trouble of introducing you to them.
"Juniper, juniper, let's go for a walk in the mountains together to get familiar with the environment."
Juniper juniper shakes its tentacles to greet them out of the nest.
......
“This is my first destiny tree, the juniper tree.”
“The second destiny tree, the juniper tree.”
“The third tree , juniper tree ”
“The fourth tree, cypress tree ”
Long Bai introduced in turn various important planting plants in his territory, as well as valuable planting seedlings cultivated in the nursery.
Then we took him to the Molan Territory and introduced them all.
Long Bai rushed to meet Mo Lan in no hurry.
Take the juniper with you and wander around the mountains and down the mountains, introducing you to various plants and animals on the mountain. By the way, you can let the juniper and juniper get to know each other so that they can work better together in the future.
The juniper is as smart as the juniper. It can remember almost anything if taught once.
"You two keep good housekeeping, perform your duties, and don't quarrel. I will come back from this trip in about two months."
Five days later, Long Bai left a word and still used the bamboo belt The 10 little worker ants came down the mountain to say goodbye to the blue sky, and flew eastward under control of the throne.
…
…
…
With the refining ability of blue ants, 10 pounds of ripe fruit may not be able to brew half a pound of ant honey.
Molan Mountain,
In the cave, only 2 of the 10 specialized blue ants have full abdomens. There is a bag of dry Maoli dried fruits in the corner.
Mo Lan is not here.
It's autumn, and fruits of all colors are ripe in concentration. It should be searched outside.
Long Bai glanced at the entrance of the cave and controlled the throne to rise slowly, hovering at a height of two to three hundred meters.
Not long after, Mo Lan carried a heavy bag of spider silk and flew back in a dangling manner.
"Long Bai, you are finally here."
"The persimmons in the forest are all yellow, I will pick a bag of them."
"I have searched the Molan Mountain three times this year, but there is still no god-given seed."
Mo Lan said, landed vertically on the throne, and asked: "Has the juniper been successfully born?"
"Of course. I was worried about it fighting with Juniper, so I delayed it for two more days."
Longbai explained, opened the spider silk bag and took a look. Three or four centimeters long eggs The oblong persimmon fruit is mostly caused by drought, and the fruit is very small.
The hard ones are not yet ripe, so put them in a bag to cover them for a few days.
"Has the ninth leaf of the dragon cypress Zunlan God-given seed grown? How big is its fruit?"
"Zhanlan grows fastest in the hot summer and is already more than five meters tall. The tenth leaf is about to be But its fruit development is always very slow, so..."
Long Bai picked up the smallest persimmon fruit from the bag and said: "It's only one-fifth of the size of this one. It won't mature until next year."
"Then its flowering and fruiting cycle is two years."
Mo Lan was worried: "Luo Chen is so stingy, will he lend us the original stone? ?”
"Borrowing less should be fine..."
Long Bai is not sure either.
Luo Li is a qualified old profiteer, but he is not as easy to talk to as Bai Wei.
Mo Lan emphasized again: "I have searched here three times and confirmed that there is no god-given seed. Long Bai, let's hurry up and find the land of the force!"
Long Bai agreed. Said: "Okay. Let's go to Nan Suizao Mountain to see the situation."
...
Have a night’s rest and pack up and set off in the early morning of the next day.
Fly southwest for half a day, then turn due south and search along the way.
Long Bai has a strong sense of direction.
Eight days later, we turned west again and arrived at our destination accurately.
In the still hot south, the sun is blazing in the sky.
The dragon cypress enlarges the throne of dominance to its limit and places it under the shade of a tree given by the god of the South Ziziphus jujube.
Molan faces south,
Longbai faces north.
Each person carries a bag of spider silk and flaps his wings to search for God-given seeds, while also collecting fresh wild fruits.
The weather changes at any time,
On a sunny afternoon, a strong wind suddenly blew, shaking the trees in the mountains and forests, making them unable to stand up straight and almost falling over.
The sky quickly darkened, and dark clouds gathered like thick ink.
Electric light flashed across the sky, and thunder rolled in.
Long Bai was worried about being struck by lightning, so he stopped work early and returned to the southern jujube tree planted by God.
Not long after, it rained heavily, and Mo Lan crawled back in embarrassment.
The next day, the rain stopped.
The blue sky is filled with white clouds.
Long Bai and Mo Lan stayed on the throne, raising their heads and looking at the tree.
The rate at which the God-given Seeds of South Jujube absorbs the Force has increased significantly, which is a sign that the Fruit of the Force is about to mature!
Keep guarding until dusk in the afternoon, the surrounding force accelerates and converges on the god-given seeds of the southern jujube, and then is absorbed by the branches and leaves.
After this continued for a while, the force around the big tree became thinner.
The Force in nearby places is spreading here, but the speed is limited.
"Long Bai, isn't there a lot of force stored in the throne of dominance? Can you transfer some to it?" Mo Lan was a little worried.
"Let me try..."
Long Bai tried to communicate with the throne, but there was no response, "It probably won't work."
Long Bai comforted: "It's okay. Mo Lan, don't underestimate the vitality of wild god-given seeds. It will definitely survive. In the past, the quality of the Force Fruit was slightly inferior."
"Oh——"
Mo Lan was silent.
Wait quietly.
Thanks——Ling Fan, Fat Cat and Dwarf Rabbit for their rewards. Thank you boss!
