Chapter 62 Tips
“Long Bai, I’m going home first!”
As soon as Xianglan Mountain appeared in the field of vision, Mo Lan left a word, kicked off her legs and flew away. .
Melland left its territory for more than three months.
On this trip, Long Bai was away for 68 days, and it was already the end of autumn.
The ruling throne went straight to the pond at the foot of the mountain.
The eleventh broad leaf of the azure god-given seed has been fully expanded, and the plant is more than 6 meters tall.
The weather turns cooler, the growth rate slows down, and it is about to enter the dormant period.
“Azure blue!”
Long Bai greeted.
The ruling throne slowly descended, close to the water.
For such a long time, the fruits under the leaves seem to have only grown a little, and they are green and green particles the size of peas.
On the contrary, the rice sown in late spring has been mature for a long time, and it is a long golden line around the bank of the pond.
The lotus leaves began to wither.
The frogs that are particularly active in the summer have disappeared.
"Long Bai."
Azure blue's mental power was full of joyful thoughts, and he greeted one after another:
"Long Bai, long time no see."
"Long Bai "Where is Mo Lan? Did you go very far this time?"
Long Bai replied: "Mo Lan went back to see its fruit orchids. We went very far this time." First we went to Nanjujuo Mountain..."
Long Bai was telling his experience of this trip, but suddenly stopped, simplified his language, and spoke directly to the key points, saying:
"We found two more places of force. There was nothing in one place, and it was named 'Jianlan Plain' ; There is also a red fox warrior, two ball warriors, one big and one small, and a wild white rice tree, named 'White Rice Mountain'."
"Oh—— ”
“It’s amazing.”
Zhanlan admired.
Long Bai knew that it was not interested in this, so he took the initiative to ask: "Zhanlan, is there enough nutrients at the bottom of the pond? Winter is coming soon, would you like me to bring some swamp water and pour it into your leaves to topdress before winter?"
"Need..."
Zhan Lan is still a little shy, and begged with some embarrassment: "Long Bai, can you harvest the rice on the bank? Sow it again next spring. Go down."
Long Bai agreed: "Of course! I will go back to the mountain to make arrangements! Next year we will plant a large circle of rice around the pond! Lotus, frogs like to squat on lotus leaves..."
Long Bai: "Don't worry about that. Next spring, they will sprout and grow on their own, growing many lotus leaves and blooming many lotus flowers."
"Great!" Zhanlan was happy.
"Okay. Zhanlan, I'll go back to the mountain first to see what's going on on the mountain. I'll come over to see you later."
Long Bai explained, and the throne of control slowly rose up to the mountain. Drifting away in the direction of the nest.
……
Surrounded by five special chemical worker ants, Juniper trotted out of the nest to greet her.
Long Bai swung his claws to cut the hemp rope binding the bamboo tube.
Three large bamboo tubes contain medium, small and micro worker ants cultivated along the way, as well as some ant eggs and larvae.
First move down the ruling throne and let the worker ants move back to their nest.
"Jiunbai, is the territory okay while I'm away?"
Long Bai asked, throwing down the spider silk bag containing Force food and ordering the special chemical worker ants to move the storage room.
The ruling throne began to shrink, flying closer to a rock.
Long Bai shook his tentacles.
10 specialized blue ants and 5 large blue ants cultivated on the long journey lined up and walked to the rock, then walked along the rock to the ground and walked into the ant nest.
Juniper: "Everything is fine."
Juanbaihui reported: "Twelve days ago, the cypress seeds in Shannan territory matured. According to your instructions, they were harvested, dried, put into spider silk bags and stored."
"The day before yesterday, Shanbei The fruit of the orchid tree is ripe, and I am helping to pick it, and it is drying."
"Okay! Let me take a look..." Long Bai asked: "Where is the juniper? Plant it?”
Juniper swayed its tentacles and directed the two chemical ants to return to the nest to carry the cedar seeds, and then said to Longbai:
“The junipers have gone into the forest to hunt.”
Long Bai asked: "Isn't the food in the ant nest enough?"
Juniper: "There is abundant food in autumn, and the ant nest is always full of reserves."
Junier noticed Long Bai's emotions Feeling dissatisfied, he hurriedly explained: "Both Juniper and I believe that spring is the season for the reproduction of all things, and it is not appropriate to hunt excessively. We can hunt more in autumn and winter, store enough food, and then ban hunting in spring. In this way, our territory There will always be endless prey inside, and there will always be endless food in the ant nest.”
“Well—” Long Bai was stunned and said, “That makes sense!”
< br>Long Bai skipped the topic and asked: "How is the damage done to the soldier ants?"
Jue Bai: "During the time you left, 6 junior specialized soldier ants were killed in battle and 4 were disabled. 2 intermediate specialized soldier ants were killed in battle and 2 were disabled. Large, medium, small and micro soldier ants were lost. A total of 14 were killed and 5 were disabled.”
Such a huge battle loss! Long Bai jumped up when he heard this.
"How does Juniper lead soldiers? Without its command before, the soldier ants would not have suffered such heavy casualties when they left their nests to hunt, right?"
Junier : "In the past, Mo Lan helped us hunt, and he often brought large animals. One wild boar is enough for us to eat for a month."
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai was silent.
Jinja juniper and juniper have their own thoughts and ideas.
Is this why they originate from the Throne of Rulership?
Before he left, he made it very clear: defend the territory! Take good care of your plants!
Orthodox intelligent worker ants and giant soldier ants will absolutely obey the orders of the ant king.
This is obviously not the case with juniper and juniper.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
If they start to think and act independently, should I teach them from an early age like I would a little warrior? Give them more knowledge and teach them how to do things like insects.
Long Bai was silent for a long time, then threw down the five empty gourds on the throne and said: "Jiunbai, these are gourds. Instruct the worker ants to dig two tables in the restaurant and put two on them. The other three Store it in a warehouse. ”
"I patrolled the territory..."
Just in time, four special chemical worker ants came out of the nest carrying four small spider silk bags.
The bag contains recently harvested cypress seeds.
The particles are very small, smaller than mung beans.
This is the first time they are produced. In spring, the flower buds are thinned out to control the yield. There are only 200 to 300 cypress seeds in dragon cypress, juniper, juniper and giant cypress.
The output is very small.
For an intermediate ant king, the quality is quite acceptable.
Long Bai asked the worker ants to send them to the blue ants, and they refined them all. Later, Mo Lan came over and had a taste together.
……
After a year of growth,
Both juniper and juniper trees are over 3 meters tall.
The branches of the cypress species grow sideways, and the tree is huge, only 3 meters high, but its scale is greater than that of juniper and juniper.
Giant cypress is similar to dragon cypress. The species of giant cypress is one size smaller than that of dragon cypress.
The cypress tree is over 2 meters tall and will bear fruit next year.
Dry cedar will not produce anything until the year after it is planted.
"Juniper!"
Junier shakes its tentacles to summon.
After receiving the message, Juniper rushed over surrounded by specialized chemical worker ants.
"Longbai Ant King, do you have any questions?"
"Small question..." Longbai pointed with his tentacles, pointed at the giant cypress seed in front of him, and said:
"Juniper, let me teach you a little trick about tree planting that many insects don't know."
"The branch that bears fruit is called a 'fruit branch'. After the fruit matures and is harvested, it has no If left on the tree, it will waste nutrients and affect the ventilation of the tree. The fruit branches will affect the growth and development of the plant and affect the next year's output. , every time you harvest, remember to cut off the fruit branches as soon as possible.”
“I understand...” Juniper is very smart and can understand the meaning of Juniper, but...
Yuan. Bai said worriedly: "Long Bai Ant King, won't this hurt your life?"
Long Bai: "It will definitely be fine if you just cut the fruit branches."
"Okay...I will send the little worker ants up to clean it up."
Jiang Bai has an independent character, smart and sleek but biased Weakness, lack of decisiveness, only dares to ask the worker ants to work after getting a definite and affirmative answer from the ant king.
Long Bai continued to inspect other species in the territory.
The three top species of hemlock, torreya, and golden pine nut all grow very slowly. Long Bai estimates that they will not start to produce anything until he is promoted to a high-level ant king at least.
When Long Bai climbed up the ridge to inspect the Qing Torreya seeds, Mo Lan flew up after inspecting the territory.
"Longbai! Are all the cypress seeds mature?"
"Of course. The juniper cypress directed the worker ants to harvest. Your molan cypress seeds also harvested for you, "It's drying."
"Oh! I was just about to ask, where are my orchid seeds~"
Mo Lan glanced at his green torreya seeds in the distance and urged: " Long cypress, go and taste your cypress seeds.”
Long Bai shook his tentacles and said: "Don't worry yet. Mo Lan, do me a small favor first. While the weather is still not cold, topdress the mountain blue."
"Okay..." Mo Lan asked Said: "How old is the blue fruit? When will it mature?"
"Probably next summer, later autumn, maybe winter...I can't be sure."
That's it. It’s like I didn’t say anything~
Mo Lan: “…”
Long Bai led the way, and together they came to the biogas tank on the mountainside. They fetched water from a bamboo tube, carried it down the mountain, and filled each trumpet-shaped broad leaf of the azure god-given seed with a tube.
