Chapter 550: Feeling like old friends at first sight
The war is about to begin.
I don’t know how many Zerg will die in this great war.
The Edelweiss Spider King walked across the sea with a heavy heart and rushed on his way.
Suddenly his soul jumped and he stopped suddenly.
Looking solemnly into the distance.
Far away in the sky, there is a vague feeling of peeping.
I am sure I was spied on!
That feeling of peeping disappeared again.
As soon as the Snow Spider King thought, the sea water under his body surged and surged, forming a water column four to five meters thick, which lifted vertically.
Standing at a height of four to five hundred meters, looking around, you can see the vast sea, the howling cold wind, the clear sky, and nothing can be seen except the sea water and the blue sky.
——Are there any Zerg warriors spying on me from a distance of dozens or hundreds of kilometers?
——What a strong investigative ability!
——Is it Dragonfly Warrior who is scouting the situation on Blue Island?
——A dragonfly cannot see so far.
The Edelweiss Spider King's thoughts changed rapidly.
There was a loud rumble.
The water column in the sky collapsed.
The figure of the Snow Spider King then disappeared.
……
Thousands of meters in the air.
Mo Lan lay comfortably on the throne, and Long Bai stood with his legs crossed on the top of the backrest.
Long Bai and Mo Lan took turns to activate their soul-fixing abilities and sense alertness.
Black Birch stops and rests. After a while, he activates his sunburn ability to observe the movement of the sea in all directions.
Suddenly,
The force barrier that Hei Hua had just propped up collapsed, "King! Second King! It's not good!"
"What?"
Mo Lan jumped up.
Hei Hua raised his paw and pointed away, saying: "I saw a big spider! Over there! It found me."
Mo Lan: "Flaming spider traveler?"
Black Birch: "The Flame Spider Traveler who can walk on the sea has no goods on its back...a poor Flame Spider Traveler?"
Mo Lan: "No matter how poor the Flame Spider Traveler is, Maybe there is no cargo on the back. Is it like a mandarin spider warrior?"
Black Birch: "No! Red, blue, yellow, green, white spider legs and head, It is completely consistent with the characteristics of the Symphony Flame Spider tribe. It can walk on water and has water talent. This is also consistent with the Symphony Flame Spider warrior."
Mo Lan: "..."
Long Bai. Asked: "How far away?"
Hei Hua: "About 120 kilometers."
Mo Lan asked in disbelief: "Confirm that it has found you? This is visual ability!"
Hei Hua: "Confirm that it has found me ."
Mo Lan looked at Long Bai in shock.
Long Bai asked: "I discovered you, and then what?"
Black Birch: "I terminated the ability immediately."
Long Bai: "Look again!"
Black Birch: "Okay, King!"
Black Birch activated again Sunburn ability.
After patrolling for seven or eight seconds, there was no trace of the flame spider traveler in the vast sea.
"The king...the two kings..."
Heihua: "I can't find it. He must have dived into the sea and hid it."
Long Bai: "Most likely."
Heihua: "Your Majesty, do you want to run away?"
Long Bai pondered slightly and said: "Calm down. There is no need to run. This flame spider is probably here to watch the fun, and everyone shares the same goals. We can try to communicate with it and see if we can get some useful information.”
After speaking, control the throne to fall.
On the sea, huge waves rise and fall with the wind.
Freezing ability explodes.
Within a radius of 100 meters, the waves are frozen and raised, forming an 'iceberg' suspended in the sea.
The throne of control shrank rapidly, Long Bai opened his mouth and took it into his mouth.
Mo Lan asked: "The flame spider merchants who are watching the excitement? Why are you here to see it? Could it be..."
Long Bai: "I have said before that once the war starts, Wang Lan and the mainland coalition forces will come from the north and the south. Attacks were launched from both ends, and the south and north attacked. This spider had obviously just completed its transaction in the northern tropics and came to see the battle in the northern sea."
Mo Lan: "Is the war about to begin?"< br>
Long Bai: "The news from the Flame Spider Traveler is generally not wrong."
Mo Lan: "But, its goods..."
Long Bai: "This is not ordinary excitement, this is war! To see this kind of excitement, it is best to travel lightly and be prepared to run away at any time. In a chaotic battlefield, it is dangerous to be discovered by either warring party. Guan You are a flame spider traveler, neutral or not, killing everyone and robbing everyone, who knows?”
Mo Lan suddenly realized!
“The king is really extremely smart!”
Hei Hua sighed sincerely.
——It’s a trivial matter, just use your brain a little bit.
Long Bai shook his tentacles gently.
Mo Lan asked again: "Now, let's..."
Long Bai: "Let's talk about good words, I said, you listen. First of all, the origin question, the other party is from the Northeast The direction is across the sea, not from the east, which means that its traveling trade route does not involve the northwest area of Wanglan Continent..."
...
Longbai, Molan, Hei Hua quickly prepared a reply and waited, but the spider didn't come.
Afraid that the opponent would lose his way in the vast sea, Long Bai had an idea and peeled off a piece of thin ice with a radius of three meters and a thickness of about 10 centimeters from Hei Hua's feet. He called Mo Lan to join him and controlled the water system. At the same time, he flapped his wings and took off, driving upwards.
Black Birch activates the freezing ability to keep the ice cubes frozen.
Long Bai and Mo Lan worked together to control the ice pieces carrying Black Birch to rise vertically to an altitude of two to three thousand meters.
Black Birch activated his sunburn ability and took a look.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I didn't see the spider."
"Forget it."
"My Force is almost exhausted."
The ice fell rapidly, approached the sea surface, suddenly slowed down, floated on the sea, and undulated with the waves.
The freezing ability explodes, and the waves below freeze and turn into floating icebergs.
Restore the original strength,
Continue to wait,
"Longbai..."
Mo Lan suddenly spread his wings, patted Longbai, and shook his tentacles to guide the direction.
Seven or eight kilometers away in the distance, a colorful flame spider, with an empty back armor, was walking on the sea, and was walking quickly towards this direction.
——Huh?
As he got closer, there was a sound of surprise at first.
——They are all at the lord level.
——In which kingdom are ants and mantises? With such strength, you dare to come and watch the fun?
Get closer and take a closer look. I was surprised, stunned, and stunned for a while.
"Excuse me, are you..."
Long Bai took the initiative to shake his tentacles to say hello.
The edelweiss spider king asked back: "Are you a male ant?"
Long Bai: "Yes. The giant-headed leafcutter ant. My name is Jin Shuo, and this is Xuelan , this is King Zuo Heihua”
“I’ve seen the Spider King!”
“I’ve seen the Spider King!”
Mo Lan and Hei Hua greeted respectfully.
"Oh! Hello! You're welcome."
The Snow Spider King responded enthusiastically, quickly approached, climbed up the iceberg, and asked: "King Jinshuo Ant, Lord Xuelan , your carapace..."
Long Bai: "A worthless wood-based ability, similar to the ability of lower organisms such as corals and sea anemones in the sea, which can obtain energy through photosynthesis."< br>
Edelweiss Spider King: “This ability is not simple!”
Edelweiss Spider King: "Given by the divine fruit? Which kingdom are you from? Why haven't I heard of such a divine fruit?"
Mo Lan asked in confusion: "This is not the one from your Zhibai Continent. "Is it produced nearby?"
Long Bai pointed to the east and said, "I wonder if the Spider King has ever heard of it in the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom."
"???" The Edelweiss Spider King was confused.
Long Bai: "It's an unknown small country in the west. It's normal that you don't know about Spider King."
"My name is Xueluo."
Edelweiss Spider King reported his origin and said hotly. : "It turns out to be the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom. Although I have never been there, I heard it mentioned by my fellow tribesmen. The Jinshuo Ant King is too humble. How can a kingdom that produces divine fruits be a small country?"
< br>——Edelweiss Spider King? !
——How did you hit this guy?
——What a coincidence!
Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Black Birch were all startled, and their tentacles trembled slightly.
After being frightened for a moment, Long Bai quickly calmed down and said in surprise: "Are you the Edelweiss Spider King?!"
Hei Hua then reacted, shocked, happy, and enthusiastically said: "See you Pass the Snow Spider King!"
Mo Lan: "..."
Mo Lan looked left and right and exclaimed, "Edelweiss Spider King! We have heard of your legend!"
"Ha! Ha! There is no legend, it is exaggerated."
>The Edelweiss Spider King responded modestly, feeling proud but not surprised at the same time.
In Wanglan Continent, if you ask casually, there are not many insects who don’t know the name of ‘Snow Velvet’.
The Snow Spider King followed up and asked: "Were you spying on me just now? More than a hundred kilometers away? Do you have visual ability? This is incredible!"
Long Bai hurriedly explained: "It's not peeping! We were investigating the battlefield situation and saw you accidentally."
Heihua raised his paw to signal and said: "This is a vision I unexpectedly realized when I evolved to the lord level. Ability."
Long Bai: "Heihua is often responsible for sentry tasks. At the Mountain Lord level, he ate a lot of force food that strengthened his binocular vision ability, and he realized such an extremely practical thing. Visual ability."
"Oh——"
The Snow Spider King was regretful, disappointed, and understood the situation.
Both the male ant king and the mantis have wings and can fly in the sky. It is a complete burden to travel far away to watch the battle with a weak and flightless king.
What are you bringing with you?
It turns out that King Zuo realized the super visual reconnaissance ability and brought it here for long-range reconnaissance.
It is precisely because King Zuo’s visual ability can detect situations at extremely long distances that they dare to come to such a dangerous place to join in the fun.
That makes sense.
The Edelweiss Spider King asked incredulously: "Jinshuo Ant King, if my perception is correct, you have awakened the five talents of strength, water, wood, wind and gold!"
Edelweiss Spider King He looked at Mo Lan again and said in astonishment: "Lord Xuelan has also awakened the talents of water, wood and wind."
Long Bai: "Because I have a Shashuo tree that gives me the talent of metal. ""
"Oh——"
The Edelweiss Spider King was disappointed again. He already had a metal talent.
The Edelweiss Spider King tentatively asked: "Where did you get the divine fruit that gives you the wood talent? The caravan? I wonder if it would be convenient to give you some information..."
Long Bai shook his tentacles vigorously and said: "You can't tell!"
Mo Lan echoed: "This is a business secret, and it can't be spread randomly."
The Snow Spider King: "..."
Snow Velvet Spider King: "That wind element is..."
Long Bai raised his paw, pointed gently in the direction of Blue Island, and said with emotion: "A certain flame spider traveler acted as an intermediary, and got it from the Ishikari Blue Ant tribe. I never expected that Blue Island would fall. Fortunately, We ate early and there is no need.”
Edelweiss Spider King: “…”
Edelweiss Spider King: “According to the latest news I have, Lan Dao is afraid this time. After a long stalemate, Blue Island has always been impregnable. On the contrary, the coalition forces organized by Boshuwan have many internal conflicts. Dozens of internal conflicts have broken out before the war with Blue Island, and the kingdom continues to announce its withdrawal. Forced by the internal situation, they had no choice but to take the initiative to attack Blue Island..."
"..."
Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Hei Hua looked at each other without saying a word.
"Alas -"
Long Bai sighed, "I knew it would be like this. The makeshift coalition is just a piece of loose sand and may collapse at any time."
Edelweiss Spider King:? ? ?
Who just said that Blue Island is going to die?
You ant is very flexible~
The Edelweiss Spider King said calmly: "According to reliable information, the situation of the coalition forces organized by Bo Shuwan is not that bad. Although kingdoms are constantly withdrawing, new kingdoms are also joining, and the number of troops has not decreased. One result, two The three old queen bees, Guo and Sanguo, have been fighting against Blue Island for hundreds of years. They have experienced countless battles and have rich war experience. They should have other considerations when they choose to launch an attack in the middle of winter. I am a traveling merchant and I don't understand. It’s not easy to make more assessments during the war.”
Mo Lan: “Well——”
Long Bai: “Oh——”
Long Bai didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He tilted his head and ordered: "Hei Hua, go catch two fish and bring them up. Let's chat with the Edelweiss Spider King while eating."
"Okay! Jinshuo Ant King!"
< br>
Black Birch quickly walked to the edge of the ice floe and immersed himself into the sea.
Long Bai turned around and asked in a casual manner: "King Edelweiss Spider, I heard that the Holy Butterfly Tribe of Zhibai Continent sent a Butterfly King to join the war... This news should be true, right?"
Edelweiss Spider King: "Confirmed to be true."
Long Bai: "Why? It can't be for justice, right? I can't think of anything other than interests. But I don't understand, what benefits can attract The Holy Butterfly Tribe joins the war across the continent. "
The Snow Spider King: "This must be a decision made by the Holy Butterfly Tribe after careful consideration of various factors. "
"First, Ishikari Blue Ants will never be allowed to land on Wanglan Continent. This is the consensus of all Zerg species in Wanglan and Zhibai Continent. In the past three thousand years, Ishikari Blue Ants launched a total of 114 invasion wars against Boshu Bay, eight of which After successfully landing, all the tribes on the mainland united and fought back to the sea at a heavy cost. The situation this time was very similar to the previous eight times. The main reason why the Holy Butterfly tribe chose to participate in the war was to prevent it from happening. "
< br>——There is such a history!
Long Bai and Mo Lan's eyes sparkled, and they moved their tentacles together, looking forward to the next chapter.
Heihua used his freezing ability to trap a large fish more than one meter long and maneuvered it onto the iceberg.
Long Bai raised his paw and waved it, forming an ice pot.
The black birch wields its claws to cut, first cut off the fish bones and throw them into the pot.
Mo Lan tapped his tentacles lightly, and two balls of clear water fell down.
Long Bai then activated his boiling ability to boil the soup.
Edelweiss Spider King stared at Mo Lan with eight shining eyes and exclaimed: "The ability to create water! Did you realize it yourself?"
Mo Lan: "Yes. Breakthrough Lord It’s time to realize.”
Edelweiss Spider King: "The first-year-old lord has realized the ability to create water. Your mantis' talent in elemental abilities is not very high! With sufficient resources, the evolution after the king level will be smooth."
Mo Lan: "Xuelan thanks the Edelweiss Spider King for the compliment."
After the Edelweiss Spider King said this, Long Cypress and Black Birch were unable to reveal their water-making abilities and remained silent. .
Edelweiss Spider King: "I am usually bored, so I also study eating. I have quite a lot of experience."
When it comes to eating, the Edelweiss Spider King got excited and began to digress, asking: "How do you usually do this?" Do you eat like this? ”
Long Bai: "It's too troublesome. I usually eat it raw, and only scald it with boiling water when celebrating at a party or entertaining distinguished guests."
Edelweiss Spider King: "You have the conditions, but you should pay attention to them. "
The Edelweiss Spider King said enthusiastically: "I am usually bored, and I also study food, and I have a lot of experience. I travel across the continent, collect various animal and plant materials, and specialize in making various seasonings. It's a pity. , it is not convenient to bring them here to watch the battle, otherwise I will give you some."
Long Bai: "...The Snow Velvet Spider King is very particular about spiders."
Mo Lan: "What a pity."
Long Bai: "..."
The Snow Spider King earnestly taught: "The insect life is long, and there are too few interesting things. Eating is one of them. Let me tell you, there are many tricks to boiling water. First of all, It is necessary to classify the ingredients, such as marine fish, freshwater fish, cattle, sheep, wild boars, tigers, leopards, pythons, and snakes. Different foods, different processing methods, and the taste of cooking is very different..."
"..."
Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Hei Hua listened carefully.
The soup is ready.
Black birch fish fillet.
Everyone sat around the ice pot, and the conversation completely turned to eating.
After finishing a fish, the chat was almost over.
Long Bai returned to the topic and asked: "King Edelweiss Spider, you said before that there are three reasons why the Holy Butterfly tribe participated in the war..."< br>
“Well—right—”
The Edelweiss Spider King paused, thought for a while, and then asked: "Have you ever traded with Blue Island? I heard that Blue Island has a new soul-type god-given seed. I don't know if it is true or not."
“…”
Dragon cypress, ink orchid, and black birch are choked together.
What do you mean you heard? Could it be that the rumors didn’t come from you?
Long Bai said seriously: "I've heard a little bit, it seems to be a mutation of a water green tree, and the fruit it produces is called water green seed. Blue Island does not trade with foreigners at all, and no insects have ever seen it, let alone The specifics are unknown.”
"Water green tree?"
The edelweiss spider king was confused, "The news I got is that a male orchid mutated..."
"..."
Long Bai, Mo Lan, and Hei Hua were speechless once again.
This rumor is spreading, and it is quite serious...
Long Bai: "I heard that this soul-based ability can sense the souls of Force life more than a hundred kilometers away. I don't know if it's true or not."
The Edelweiss Spider King said firmly: "Fake news. The sensing distance should be 30 to 40 kilometers, and it gradually becomes 50 kilometers, 80 kilometers, 100 kilometers, and even more than a thousand kilometers. It is impossible to think about it with tentacles. "
Rumors are flying all over the sky~
Long Bai: "..."
Mo Lan: "..."
Black Birch: "..."
Edelweiss Spider King: "Thirty or forty kilometers is already terrifying. This soul-based reconnaissance ability is used in wars and can play a vital role. It is a potential fatal hazard. . This soul-type god-given seed should have just appeared in the past few decades, and it has not yet spread on a large scale among the Ishikari Blue Ant Tribe. There are also considerations to nip the threat in its infancy."
——It can barely be regarded as the second reason why the Holy Butterfly tribe participated in the war.
Long cypress, mochi orchid, and black birch all move their tentacles.
"As for the third reason..." The Snow Spider King paused for a long time, then said in a solemn tone:
"This time, the Holy Butterfly tribe has the idea of destroying the Ishikari Blue Ant Kingdom in one fell swoop. Because they also have the ability to control the scepter of the God of the Ocean, they intend to replace it."
