Chapter 158 Rose Circle
In this year’s autumn trade, Long Bai can only run alone, which is not a big problem.
Feiguang Mountain, leaving the green maple and the red maple to accompany the mulberry trees for a while.
Put down some of the worker ants and blue ants, give Heiti another chance, let him lead the team, wait for the mulberry plant to mature, pick and refine the ant honey.
Long Bai stayed in Feiguang Mountain for a few days, picking mangoes and various wild fruits in large quantities himself, and handing them over to blue ants for refining.
Calculate the time and set off, first go to Jianlan Plain, spend a few days, search carefully to confirm that there are no God-given seeds, collect a batch of wild fruits, go to Baifan Mountain for trade, and collect a large number of ordinary rice fruits on the way to refine them into ants. honey.
Immediately afterwards, I rushed to Ghost Fan Mountain and collected all the most important ghost fans given by the gods at once.
The most important transaction of the year has been completed, and it is approaching late autumn.
The azure god-given seeds are also ripe this year! This is the first batch of output from the evolution of advanced ant queens, and the specific time cannot be determined yet.
Longbai returned in a straight line.
……
Pianlan Mountain.
Zhanlan Reservoir.
After a whole summer of growth, the height of the azure god-given seed has only increased by about 1 meter. The top broad leaf has only grown to a diameter of about 20 centimeters, and the first broad leaf at the bottom has almost no growth. change.
Growth rate plummets.
Of course, compared to the tree-like god-given seeds of the natural god system, the growth rate of 1 meter per year is still very fast.
“Blue!”
Long Bai greeted, the throne slowly approached, suspended in the water.
"Longbai——" Zhanlan responded. It was commanding the five blue soldiers assigned to it by Longbai, carrying worker ants, and cooperating to harvest lotus seeds.
Zhanlan took the initiative and said: "Longbai, after winter comes, dig out the reservoir dam and let some water out."
Long Bai: "Why?"
Zhanlan: "Let's dig up the lotus roots and sow the lotus seeds in the next spring."
Long Bai: "Why do we need to re-sow the seeds?"
Zhanlan: "Select the seeds of strong flowers with full grains and sow them to grow better lotus flowers."
Longbai: "..."
This is the most common method used by the Zerg to cultivate excellent plants.
——Have I told Zhan Lan about this?
Long Bai recalled that he had never mentioned it in his memory.
However, Long Bai had long been accustomed to all the weird things about Azure, so he didn’t worry too much. He carefully checked the growth of the Azure fruits under the leaves, and at the same time agreed:
“Okay. Azure. When the time comes, You just need to direct the worker ants to dig down the drainage outlet of the dam.”
Long Bai asked again: "Zhanlan, take a closer look, how long will it take for your fruit to mature?"
Zhanlan was silent for a while, and said: "It can be a few days earlier or a few days later."< br>
Long Bai: "???"
How can the ripe fruit from God be like this?
Long Bai asked: "How many days earlier was it?"
Zhan Lan: "Tonight."
Long Bai asked: "How many days later?"
Zhan Lan thought about it and asked: "Next year?"
Long Bai : "..."
Long Bai: "Don't delay, just tonight. I'll inform Xiang Bai to prepare!"
Long Bai hurried back to the mountain, notifying Xiang Bai and Cui Bai to go to Zhanlan Reservoir to prepare, and notifying Jun Bai to strengthen territorial patrols.
Long Bai was inside and outside the ant nest, checking up and down the mountain to make sure everything was fine in the territory, and then rushed to the Azure Reservoir to wait.
In the middle of the night, Zhan Lan began to absorb the force at an accelerated rate.
Longbai controls the Throne of Control to quickly replenish it and easily pass through the stage of qualitative change of original energy.
At dawn the next day, facing the morning light, the blue-green fruits began to change color, pure blue, dark blue, blue-black, and the fruits were picked when they were ripe.
Long Bai twisted and checked.
Mountain master level quality, still superb!
A total of 570 pieces, pickled in a jar with honey, given to Bai Wei as a promotional sample.
Fragrant cypress and green cypress are both water-based talents, and they have awakened water-based abilities. Eat 5 of each to strengthen them slightly.
Longbai himself is only willing to eat one to taste the taste.
There are an integer of 550 left, and the pulp is first refined to make azure ant king honey. The cores are dried and stored in the sun, and then refined the next spring before being traded with traveling merchants.
This year's most important work of harvesting the azure blue fruits given by the gods has been completed, and there is nothing else to worry about on the mountain. Long Bai takes another group of worker ants and blue ants and sets off for Molan Mountain.
Search for God-given seeds and collect wild fruits.
After working alone for five or six days, I flew southeast and rushed to Hanlan Mountain.
…
…
…
The Throne of Control entered Hanlan Mountain, flew at high altitude, and headed straight for the central mountain.
In the deep dense forest, Mo Lan sensed the fluctuations in the force, soared into the air, rushed over quickly, and landed on the top of the tree stump ant nest.
Before Long Bai asked, Mo Lan raised her front legs and shouted excitedly: "Long Bai, look! I found something good!"
"This is -" Long Bai looked at it intently.
There is a silver-white metal ring hanging on the tip of Mo Lan's front toe, with a diameter of just over 1 cm and a width of about 3 mm. It is inlaid with a gorgeous red ruby, blooming like a rose in the sun. Bright and eye-catching.
"Long Bai, do you know this? Is it valuable?" Mo Lan hoped to ask.
Long Bai: "...I don't know."
Mo Lan: "Don't know?"
On the contrary, Mo Lan was even happier and a little proud, saying: "Long Bai, look at it!"
After Mo Lan finished speaking, the original force was injected into the ring and gathered on the Yin Ruby. Immediately, a wave of The original energy was fed back from the gem, forming a beautiful and bright red rose-like original energy pattern, which quickly spread along Mo Lan's right front foot until it covered the whole body, like a blooming rose bush.
"What is this? Defense?" Long Bai raised his front foot and poked it gently.
I was surprised to find that it was not just a simple pattern, this original energy was like substance, covering Mo Lan's whole body.
Poke it hard, the sharp toes pierced it, retracted the claws, and the damage was instantly healed.
It has a little protective ability, but it is not a defensive original energy barrier similar to a "hydrological shield", nor is it a creation of an extraterrestrial civilization for combat use.
Mental power scanned and was isolated.
——Is it simply used to isolate mental power detection? But the eye-catching color doesn't seem to be used to assist stealth.
——Disguise yourself as a bouquet of roses? Isn't this disguise too stupid? I can see through it with my clairvoyance.
Long Bai was confused and couldn't understand.
"Long Bai! Is it beautiful?" Mo Lan asked loudly.
"...Beautiful."
Long Bai replied perfunctorily and asked: "Mo Lan, does this thing have other uses? For example, defense? Or other practical uses? "
"Nothing has been found so far..." Mo Lan withdrew her original power, and the rose bush-like original energy covering her body collapsed. She released the tips of her front toes, handed the ring to Long Bai, and said:
"Long Bai, come and try it!" Long Bai took it and scanned it with his mental power to see the raw metals and raw gems made by the extraterrestrial civilization.
Following Mo Lan's method, fasten the ring on the tip of the left front toe and try to inject the Force.
Immediately, the original energy responded, and the rose-like pattern spread along the left forefoot, quickly covering the whole body.
Long Bai raised his legs and tried to take a few steps. They were very soft and would not cause any hindrance to his movements.
The membrane wings are also covered with a layer, unfolding and fanning, setting off a bright red original light and shadow, gorgeous and gorgeous.
"Good-looking! Good-looking!" Mo Lan jumped and cheered.
“…”
What’s the use of just looking good? Long Bai restrained his membrane wings and stared at the ring for a while.
Increase the injection of force, and the excess force is stored in the red gem.
Stop the injection of force, and the original energy pattern covering the body does not disappear, but consumes the stored force to continue to maintain it.
Similar to the Throne of Control, the Force can be stored up and then released continuously at a constant speed. But compared to the Dominion Throne, the storage capacity of this ring is dozens of levels lower. It can only be regarded as a gadget and cannot be compared.
Long Bai tested it again and again and found no other functions.
Basically figured it out,
This ring is a creation of an extraterrestrial civilization that covers the body with a beautiful original energy pattern for decoration.
The practicality is zero.
Long Bai evaluated: "Although this thing does not help improve combat effectiveness, it is beautiful and novel. There must be insects willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
"Not for sale!" Mo Lan quickly put the round Huan took it back and said, "We don't lack the rough stone. Why should we sell it?"
Now there is indeed no shortage of the rough stone. Just keep it and play if you like.
Long Bai nodded his tentacles in agreement, took a piece of spider silk rope, took the ring, passed it through the middle, knotted it, and hung it around Mo Lan's neck.
This makes it easy to carry and not easy to lose.
"Mo Lan, where did you find it?"
"Over there in the ditch. I also found a large piece of starship fragments that can be covered on the tree stump ant nest, so that you won't be afraid of the sun in summer."
Large pieces? It's more useful than this rosette ring...
Long Bai: "Okay! Go over and have a look."
…
…
…
Long Bai is estimating that if Bai Wei’s sales work goes as smoothly as expected, it will need more ‘original honey’ in the coming year.
On the Pandan Mountain side, sufficient amounts of ant honey need to be prepared and stored.
The workload of collecting wild fruits has greatly increased, but without Mo Lan as a powerful helper, Long Bai is a little overwhelmed.
Long Bai came to Hanlan Mountain with the intention of dragging Mo Lan along with him.
But now Mo Lan has found a good thing and is on the verge of gaining momentum. However, Long Bai spoils Mo Lan's interest and stays in Hanlan Mountain for two days, controlling the throne alone and setting out on the road.
There are still about one-tenth of the "southwest region" divided by Longbai that has not been explored. Let's take a walk and try to find another place of force.
......
The flying speed of the Throne of Control is not too slow.
Most of the time is spent picking. In the vacuum of the Force, the worker ants cannot move away from the throne for a long time, and Long Bai needs to use his claws himself.
I stopped and stopped along the way, busy and exhausted.
In cooperation with Bai Wei, as long as nothing unexpected happens, the sales of original honey will increase year by year, and the demand for various fruits will increase year by year.
Flying around in the wild to collect wild fruits is not a long-term solution.
We need to speed up the construction of orchards!
And now the conditions are initially met to open up wasteland beyond Xianglan Mountain.
In Long Bai’s plan, the first stop for land reclamation is South Jujube Mountain!
Southern Ziziphus Mountain mainly grows wolfberry vines, South Ziziphus fruit trees, peach trees, pear trees, raspberries, etc.
You can raise seedlings in Black Lotus Lake and Pandan Mountain and then transport them there.
……
Thirty days passed.
The map of the southwest region was all lit up, but no eleventh point of origin was found.
The 10 specialized blue ants we led on this trip were all full, and there were also 17 large blue ants with full bellies.
Long Bai controlled the throne and traveled to Feiguang Mountain.
All mature mulberry trees, lychees, longans, fragrant leaves and other species in the mulberry territory have been harvested.
Heiti leads the worker ants and blue ants to rest in the cave where Sang lives.
"Heiti, have you completed the mission successfully?" Long Bai asked.
“It’s done.” Heiti replied as he shook his tentacles.
Its expressive ability is very limited. It releases pheromones at the same time, mixed, and expresses a vague message: I am not lazy!
Why are you panicking if you are not lazy? Long Bai stepped forward to check the blue ant's abdomen. It was pretty good. All kinds of force ant honey were stored in the abdomens of each worker ant in different categories. There were no mistakes.
Heiti can barely be used as a 'commander ant'.
Just don’t know it was born accidentally? Or can it be specifically bred?
The biggest problem when going to other Force Lands to open up wasteland is the lack of ‘commander ants’.
If 'command specialized worker ants' like Heiti can be stably cultivated, which do not need to consume Force food, but can help direct the work of the ant colony, then the command system of the ant country will be subversive. changes.
In the future, there is no need to cultivate intelligent ants and giant ants to open up wasteland in other Force lands, which can save a huge amount of resources.
How did Heiti come from? Testing is necessary to figure it out.
There are 7 newly cultivated specialized ant larvae in the tree stump ant nest. Long Bai has already started trying to release a large amount of pheromones that stimulate the differentiation into specialized worker ants, and at the same time, release a small amount of pheromones that stimulate the differentiation into giant soldier ants and intelligent worker ants.
......
"Longbai Ant King!"
The spiritual power of the call came from outside the cave.
Feeling the fluctuations in the force, Sang, who was working behind the mountain, rushed back with Qing Ma and Hong Ma.
"Longbai Ant King, we can evolve!"
"It's my turn to evolve first this time!"
"Where's Mo Lan?"
< br>"Has Mo Lan found the treasure of an extraterrestrial civilization?"
"We must have found it! Mo Lan is blessed by the God of Nature."
"We must have found it! Mo Lan has the strongest force perception."
Sang also asked curiously: "Long Bai Ant King, is there anything gained from Mo Lan?"
Long Bai: "...a little bit."
Long Bai explained: "We found a very small artifact from an extraterrestrial civilization. A ring, after being injected with the Force, has beautiful original patterns covering the carapace. It has only one function that has no practical use.”
Qing Ma and Hong Ma were stunned and looked at each other: Have they really found it?
They all turned their heads and looked at Long Bai with fiery eyes: We also want to hunt for treasure!
Long Bai shook his tentacles and said, "Sang, help, unload the mobile ant nest first. Green maple evolves first."
