Chapter 363: Aftermath and Transformation
The banquet started at noon. After everyone had eaten, they gathered together to chat and lasted until dusk.
The barley bug warriors said goodbye one after another and dispersed.
Long Bai led the insects to the termite palace again.
A large ant nest built on the plain using earth and stone looks quite majestic.
The lower part is integrated, and the upper part is decorated with staggered spires.
The two spiers are particularly high, about forty or fifty meters, representing the king and queen of the termite kingdom.
There are ten spiers of different heights surrounding it, representing the ten kings.
“We have to admire the construction ability of termites. This ant nest can be used directly with a little modification.”
Long Bai stood in front of the entrance gate of the ant nest and looked up. , raised his paw and pointed at the termite pattern carved on the arched door beam, and said:
"It's fancy! Master Baifanshan, do me a favor, soften the power and wipe it off."
"Okay!"
Baifan stepped forward to use the earth power, and the earth and stone that carved the picture became soft. , then use the earth control ability to smooth the pattern, and then use the earth and stone hardening ability to reinforce it.
Long Bai climbed up the wall, focusing his original energy on his toes and waving his claws to carve. Soon, a smart and vivid giant-headed ant was carved out. He changed his position and carved a flower. Mantis warrior pattern.
The insects were speechless.
Long Bai slowly crawled to the ground and officially announced: "From today on, this is the first branch nest of the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom's resident purple linden kingdom!"
Long Bai raised his paw and pointed, Said: "This spire looks eye-catching. Master Baifanshan, please stay and help for a while, and get rid of them all! Including the spiers in other places, just tear them down and replace them with plain and simple flat roofs. The amount of work is quite large." Big, I’ll pay you monthly. I’ll give you a salary increase of 1,500 rough stones per month.”
Baifan: “Okay! Longbai Ant King, the territory must be managed by insects, and Red Fox must be very good. Worry about us."
Long Bai: "That's easy to say! I'll send Shan Shi back to Yinbai Mountain first."
Long Bai lowered his mind again. , said: "The current situation in the Purple Lime Worm Kingdom is not stable. If you can stay, try to stay as long as possible and send everyone back to the territory in late autumn."
--good!
The insects agreed.
Shan Shi raised his claws and reminded: "Longbai Ant King, it will snow in the winter in the north..."
Longbai: "...of course!"
< br> Shan Shi shook his tentacles, pointed at the spire, and said: "There is abundant rain in the purple linden country, and there should be heavy snow and blizzards in winter. Such a spire design should prevent heavy snow from accumulating on the top and collapsing the ant nest. , if it is changed to a flat roof, it also seems to have the effect of ventilating the ant nest in winter.”
Yes!
Earth and rocks are already heavy, and if they are loaded with snow, they will easily collapse!
The insects suddenly realized.
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai looked at Bai Fan.
Bai Fan: "It can be changed to a soft dome, or a sloping roof with four, six or eight sides."
"Okay! I'll look at the changes in a few days." Long Bai shook his tentacles and greeted:
“Let’s go take a look at the treasure house and divide the wealth inside!”
……
The treasure house of the termite kingdom is located on the dry upper floor of the ant nest. There are 4 buildings in total, with a large amount of earth and stone inside. The boxes made by abilities are neatly displayed.
Uniform format, length is about 60 cm, width is about 50 cm, and height is about 40 cm.
After looking through them all, most of them are empty, and only a few parts still contain Force food.
Looking at the quality, you can tell it was harvested last year but not finished yet.
The most important ones are the God-given red barberry seeds and the God-given purple linden seeds.
The divine purple linden seeds that enhance endurance are useful to everyone. Count the number and divide them on the spot.
The god-given red barberry seed ghost fan is useful. Count the quantity and calculate the value. You can eat the ghost fan first and pay the difference later.
There are also many ordinary force foods, count the quantity, calculate the value, and then distribute them according to raw stones.
A simple inventory is completed.
Juniper, giant cypress, and emerald cypress will arrange for the ant army to enter the nest to rest.
Long Bai and Mo Lan arranged nests for other insects to sleep peacefully. ……
The next day,
before dawn, Shan Shi waited at the entrance of the royal cave where Long Bai and Mo Lan were resting.
Long Bai was so speechless that he set off early and headed straight to Yinbai Mountain.
The distance is not very far, we can reach the place at noon.
Looking at the orderly orchard and the familiar persimmon trees, Shan Shi finally felt at ease.
After confirming that everything is well in the territory, Long Bai did not stay long, picked up the cedar, carried the ant colony, and returned to the purple linden country late at night.
Time to leave this day.
Cui Bai commanded the ant colony, and with the help of the orchid, ghost fan, and spruce insects, they dug out the trunk and underground roots of the god-given seed of the white barberry, and put it into the ant nest for the time being, and scraped it when there was time. Grind into powder and set aside.
There are many jobs of all kinds.
Early the next morning,
led by Bai Fan, all the insects helped to transform the spire of the palace.
Crystal cypress and cedar commanded the ant colony and continued to dig at the location where the god-given barberry seed had taken root, digging into a large pit with a diameter of 30 meters and a depth of 6 meters.
The white barberry ant king, the red barberry ant queen, a group of termite assistant kings, and the corpses of a large number of termite workers were buried at the bottom of the pit.
The weather in early autumn is still a bit hot, and the corpses have a smell, so they quickly backfill with a layer of soil half a meter thick to cover them.
In the middle of the busy afternoon, all the warriors from the Da Mai Chong tribe, mainly the Mountain Jing, Zhong Pu, and Velvet Flower, came to visit.
After a brief greeting, the owner of the Ronghua Mountain took the lead and said: "Longbai Ant King, we met the day before yesterday. Regarding the land issue, the three options you gave... After repeated weighing and discussion, we decided to choose the third option. "
Shan Jingshan said: "That is, with the cave where the warriors live as the center, a radius of 1,000 meters will be regarded as private territory; with the river channel surrounding the central area of the purple linden country as the center, measuring outward. 3,000 meters, in a large circle, and then dig a circular channel with a width of 2 meters and a depth of 1 meter. The land between the inner and outer channels is the common territory of our barley insect warriors."
Long Bai: "Okay. ! Then let’s start as soon as possible, first divide the land and dig out the canal. While the Baifan Mountain Master is still in the Purple Lime Worm Country, ask him to use the earth element to strengthen it.”
Ronghua Mountain Master: “This is the best way. Nothing better.”
Long Bai shook his tentacles, led a group of blue soldiers, and summoned insects such as Mo Lan, Ghost Fan, Spruce, and White Rice, and followed all the soldiers of the Big Macid Tribe to conduct an on-the-spot investigation.
There is a spider silk rope on the ruling throne, including a standard 10-meter rope measured by the Flame Spider tribe.
Measurements show that the length of 100 blue soldiers, connected end to end, is 220 meters. Excluding the undulating terrain, the distance is almost 200 meters in a straight line.
Use blue soldiers as measurement tools.
Starting from the river bank and measuring 3,000 meters outward, Bai Fan used his soil ability to erect stone pillars and mark them.
Busy from morning to evening, going around in a circle and hitting 72 points.
The barley bug warrior can dig trenches first and connect the marked points to form a circle as a whole.
The project volume is quite large, and Long Bai will also arrange worker ants to help.
......
There are also some worker ants, blue ants, ant eggs, and larvae on the deserted plain.
Early the next morning, Long Bai set out and made several round trips to move them all over.
Xiang Bai directs the work.
Long Bai led the blue soldiers, ghost fans, spruce, and white rice insects to continue to measure and divide the private insect territory with the big wheat insect warriors.
The barley bug warriors all live in the mountains, and the slopes and slopes cannot be accurately measured, so they can only be estimated visually by flying in the air on the throne of Long Bai.
Similarly, Bai Fan used his earth ability to erect a stone pillar mark.
The land was renovated, trenches were dug, and large-fruited juniper trees were planted around them to mark the boundaries of the territory.
The complex terrain made the work particularly complicated. It took nearly a month of busy work to put all the marks in place.
It’s late autumn, which is a bit cold again.
Long Bai and Mo Lan are worried about Xianglan Mountain.
Green maple, red maple, white rice, black rice, and white willow have always had their territories unattended by insects. They are worried and start to talk about it.
After discussion, Long Bai first sent juniper, giant cypress, green maple, and black rice back to his territory.
The other bugs stay and continue to help.
