Chapter 86 The Instructions from the King (2)
(The release time is 12 noon. Sorry, there was a mistake. One chapter will be updated for free first, and the remaining ones will be updated at noon.)
< br>On the left bank of the mountain stream,
30 large soldier ants, in groups of three or three, line up in a line, searching downwards. Once prey is found, they will immediately send back information.
Other soldier ants are divided into five major battle groups,
The first, second, and third combat swarms each consist of 30 specialized soldier ants, in groups of five, responsible for besieging large prey.
The fourth and fifth battle groups are composed of 5 specialized soldier ants and 25 medium-sized soldier ants. The specialized soldier ants march with the medium-sized soldier ants and cooperate to hunt small insects and small animals.
The giant cypress walks in the center of the ant colony, always receiving information from the scout ants ahead, and assigning combat groups to attack in an orderly manner.
The dragon cypress leads the juniper, along with the worker ants and blue ants, following behind the ant colony.
"Your Majesty, what are we doing with so many specialized chemical ants?" Juniper asked.
"I should ask you this question..."
Long Bai's tentacles twitched and angrily said, "Can't you understand such a simple question?"
"Understood... Let me think about it..."
Juniper felt that he was going to be beaten again and ran away.
Running into the jungle, after a while, he ran back with a mole with missing teeth in his mouth.
"Your Majesty, you eat meat!"
Long Bai understood that Juniper's patient teachings and beatings were useless. He sighed helplessly, followed the temptation, and asked: "Why can't I finish the hunting food?" What to do?”
Juniper: “We brought 20 specialized blue ants!”
Long Bai asked: “What should I do if the blue ants can’t run away after they are full?”
Juniper suddenly understood and said: "Your Majesty, I understand! The special chemical worker ants came here to dig the ant nest. A temporary ant nest was dug at the foot of the mountain. The blue ants refined food in the ant nest and rested and waited. ”
"Correct!"
Long Bai said: "Juniper, remember this hunting route, and hunt along streams and rivers in the future."
Juniper: "Remember... ..."
Long Bai asked again: "The specialized blue ants are full and can't run away. How can they cross the vacuum area of the Force and bring food back to the Fanglan Mountain Ant Nest?"
Juniper thought and thought, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, let the specialized blue ants be less decorated? Or use medium-sized blue ants, which can be carried by the specialized soldier ants."
That's a bit smarter.
Long Bai clicked his tentacles and said: "Currently, the number of medium-sized blue ants in the ant nest is insufficient, so I only brought 20 out this time. When I look back, I will increase the number to 50."
"Every time you go hunting far away, you can also bring 20 to 50 specialized blue ants. Their abdomens only hold one-fifth of the food, which will not affect the running speed. If you hunt too much food, you can let the special blue ants The blue ants temporarily live in the ant nest, and then make two more trips to transport it back."
"I understand! Your Majesty, you are so smart!"
Junior praised it sincerely.
It turns out that there are so many issues that need to be paid attention to when going hunting far away, which I have never considered, but the king has thought about them all before coming.
…
…
…
The giant cypress directed the ant colony and swept down the stream, all the way to the foot of the mountain.
Long Bai observed the terrain, inspected the geology, selected a steep slope, and ordered the special chemical workers to excavate.
The soldier ants brought over their prey, and they had all kinds of things, including earthworms in the ground, baby birds in the trees, as small as newly hatched locusts, as big as...
The personality of the giant cypress is completely opposite to that of the juniper. It is a little too cautious, for fear of being damaged by the soldier ants participating in the war, and its biggest prey is only the toothless mole.
The ant army crossed the border and plundered all edible animals. Even the crabs hidden in the cracks of the rocks were dug out.
Large worker ants came forward to decompose the corpse, chew it up and feed it to the blue ants.
The blue ants begin to refine their food and store it in their bellies.
"Giant Cypress, come back!"
Long Cypress shakes his tentacles to summon.
"Stop——"
Jubai responded by shaking his tentacles, and at the same time ordered the large soldier ants in front of him to stop.
"Juniper, you did a good job! Rest."
"Juniper, come up and direct the worker ants to continue along the river and sweep the jungle on the left bank. Remember my warning, don't provoke Those large prey that may cause casualties to the soldier ants. Also, please be careful not to spread the sweep area too wide, which may cause the medium-sized worker ants to wander away. "
"Don't worry, my king!" >
Juniper is full of confidence, full of energy, waving its tentacles, summoning soldiers to gather, line up, and set off.
"Jucypress, you did a great job."
Long Bai first praised, then changed the topic and said: "If it is a wild hunt, your command is very good. But if our territory is invaded, we can no longer be so conservative, and we can no longer worry about the casualties of soldier ants. Territory Safety is above all else."
"I understand..." Jubai replied nervously, his two tentacles having nowhere to place, swinging up and down and left and right. Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai's heart moved and asked: "Ju Bai, is Juniper threatening you?"
Ju Bai: " No..."
Long Bai: "If it dares to bully you, tell me and I will beat it to death."
"No..."
Ju Bai was a little frightened, lowered his head and knocked his forehead on the ground. , drooping tentacles.
Seeing this, Long Bai sighed helplessly. He waved his tentacles and said, "Jubai, let's follow. I'll test you to see how well you know wild plants."
Long Bai arranged for the blue ants to continue refining food and rest in place, and arranged for the specialized worker ants to continue digging holes, and 20 large worker ants cooperated to carry soil.
Lead the juniper, follow behind the army of soldier ants, and watch the juniper command the hunt.
"Giant cypress, what kind of plant is this?"
Tap the tentacles of the cypress lightly and point at it casually.
The giant cypress was at a loss. Fear.
Longbai: "Wood Purple Pearl."
Long Bai gave a brief introduction: "Most of the purple pearl family are shrubs and small trees, but the purple pearl is a large tree. However, its fruit is the same as other purple pearls. The particles are very small and edible but difficult to eat."
Jubai: "Remember..."
Longbai: "I know that Juniper didn't teach you well, or it didn't learn it well itself. Jucypress, you have to study hard, Shan Wild fruits are also one of the important foods for our ant nest."
Long Bai pointed at another bush and asked: "Giant Cypress, do you know this one?"
< br>Jubai mustered up his courage and said, "I don't know him."
Dragon Cypress: "A kind of honeysuckle, much like honeysuckle. It blooms from late spring to early summer, with round berries and bright red fruits. It matures from late summer to early autumn. You can collect refined ant honey. The taste is relatively average."
Long Bai and Mo Lan spent a lot of time studying the taste of refined ant honey from various edible wild fruits in the mountains and forests.
Teach it to juniper, juniper, and giant cypress. When the season comes, they can also lead worker ants or soldier ants to collect, enriching the food categories of the ant nest and increasing the food reserve of the ant nest.
......
In the middle of the afternoon, the juniper led the ant colony to sweep to the intersection of the mountain spring, stream and river.
"Juniper!"
"That's enough, let's take the hunt back to the ant nest first."
Juniper waved his tentacles in greeting.
"Got it, Your Majesty."
The juniper shook its tentacles vigorously and gave the order. The ant colony gathered together, lined up neatly, held the food in its mouth, held its head high, and returned the way it came.
"Your Majesty, how are you?" Juniper ran forward and asked for credit.
"Very good."
Long Bai paused and said: "Last time, you and Juniper were right. Spring is the season when all things grow, and it is not appropriate to hunt excessively."
"Arrange for the soldier ants to rest. I will take you and Jubai to learn about various plants. When the ant nests are dug tomorrow, we will go back to the mountain."
"First put the stored food After eating, I will bring you and Jucypress over in late spring, and we will go down the river for a large-scale hunt.”
"Understood! Your Majesty!" Juniper replied sonorously.
Jubai: "I understand too..."
Longbai paused for a few seconds and said solemnly: "Actually, I have been hesitant to come here to hunt. The main reason is... ..."
Long Bai raised his front foot, pointed at the divine barrier in the distance, and said: "On the opposite side is the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent, where the fierce and warlike ants and bees live. What I am most worried about is what happens. Which ant queen or queen bee sent a team to our area to search for rare plants or something, and then found our traces..."
"Especially when they discovered Pandan Mountain and found that there are abundant raw materials in Pandan Mountain. With power and a god-given seed, it may be a disaster for our kingdom!”
"Next door to us is a kingdom of ferocious ants called 'Xili Ant King'. It is a lord. It only needs to send one soldier ant to destroy our entire kingdom..."
Giant Bai was so frightened that his legs were weak and trembling.
Juniper was also a little frightened, and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
Of course Longbai would not tell it that the ants had no size differentiation, and the lord-level worker ants Can't get through it at all.
Long Bai was very satisfied with Juniper's reaction. Although he was a little reckless and dull, he was not stupid and knew how to be afraid.
Long Bai said with relief: "But there is no need to worry too much. The ant kings in Wan Guo Continent are usually very busy. They are busy sowing in spring, busy in irrigation in summer, and busy in harvesting and hoarding food for the winter in autumn. Only in winter do they have leisure time, We may send worker ants to explore the Yunji Continent. We must ban hunting in winter to avoid encountering them."
Long Bai: "If you encounter one, don't hesitate and run away. Never go to Pandan. Escape towards the mountains and lead to the south... keep going south. At the end of the south is the sea. At our current marching speed, it will take about 15 to 20 days to run to the seaside. I will find a way to get rid of the pursuit on the way. When I turn around, I will control the throne. Come look for it and pick you up.”
