Chapter 584 The Heart of the Ant King
Shandong Reservoir, two thousand soldier ants covered the ridge.
Being driven out of the ant nest at night, the ants were confused and didn’t know what was going on. They looked around to inquire about each other: What’s going on? What are you doing? Not going to sleep?
Long Bai's mental power is exerted with all his strength, his original energy is surging, his 'Queen Bee Heart' ability is activated, and his special original energy field spreads along the range covered by his mental power.
The noisy ant colony fell silent instantly.
Soldier Ants, Blue Soldiers, and Green Soldiers all felt that under the blessing of the strange original energy field, something in their bodies seemed to be activated, their strength surged, and their abilities were greatly improved.
Long Bai also immediately noticed the changes in the ant colony and understood another soul-based ability of the 'Queen Bee Heart'.
The juniper stood on the hillside, full of energy and bright eyes, looking down excitedly: Is this the power of the divine fruit? Group strengthening! Too strong!
Silver cedar, fragrant cedar, and black locust were awakened by the sudden big movement, and ran up. They understood the formation instantly and knew that the king was testing his newly learned ability. They quickly ran to Juniper and asked about the situation.
——What’s going on?
——The king is testing the ‘Queen Bee Heart’ ability?
——It’s obvious.
——Is the test finished?
——It’s obvious.
——Why can’t I see the change?
--fool! Of course, the original energy field cannot be seen, so you have to use your mental power to feel it.
Just talking.
The ant army on the ridge suddenly started to move in unison, and two thousand pairs of eyes aimed at the four juniper, silver cedar, incense cedar, and black locust standing on the hillside, with their tentacles straight.
Invisible power fills the air.
Juniper, silver cedar, cedar, and black locust have palpitations in their hearts, and negative emotions such as fear, timidity, depression, sadness, etc. arise involuntarily deep in their souls.
The vision before his eyes was blurred and his mental consciousness was confused.
——Yeah!
——Ha!
Juniper suddenly jumped up, his mental power exploded, and he roared again and again. The original power of the power system in his body exploded, dispelling the strange power that invaded his mind.
"Your Majesty?"
cried juniper.
Long Bai changed his mind and removed his power.
The two thousand ant army retracted its vertical tentacles.
Silver cypress, fragrant cedar, and black locust came to their senses one after another, froze on the spot, confused for a while, and all turned their heads to look at the juniper.
Junior: "This is the soul-based ability newly realized by the king! It seems to be used together with the 'Queen Bee Heart'. Its function is to inspire fear, timidity, depression, sadness, anger, etc. deep in the soul. Bad mood. Used on the battlefield, the effect is to collapse the opponent's morale."
Silver cypress, fragrant cedar, and black locust tree half understood what they heard, and then turned to look at Long cypress.
Long Bai asked in surprise: "Juniper, what's going on with you? I have a king-level soul ability, so I can't do anything to you?"
"The king is awesome~"< br>
The juniper tentacles waved and said proudly: "I am fearless! There is no fear or timidity in my soul, and I am never depressed or sad, so naturally I will not be affected."
“…”
The ants were speechless.
——Is this okay?
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai explained: "The Queen Bee's heart ability has changed. Fortunately, it has changed for the better, and it comes with a more practical function. The soul ability. The heart of the queen bee cannot be called the 'heart of the queen bee'. It must be renamed officially the 'heart of the ant king'. "
"The heart of the ant queen is the correct name! br>
"Your Majesty is so well named!"
"The power that falls on our ant clan should be called the 'Heart of the Ant King'."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Juniper, silver cedar, incense cedar, and black locust all expressed their approval.
“Okay——”
Long Bai raised his paw to signal and ordered: "Juniper, silver cypress, you take the ant army back to the nest. Xiang cypress, black locust, you guys go to rest."
Long Bai: "Two kings I must be tired of waiting. I set off overnight to deliver the divine fruit to it.”
…
…
…
Sugarcane rainforest.
Before the Dominion Throne entered the territory of the Land of Force, Mo Lan came up to him. Without making a sound, he circled down to the throne and began to rummage around.
Quickly find the spider silk bag containing the divine fruit, open it and check it out.
The divine product of neem, I have seen it before, so I don’t care about it.
Open another spider silk bag and check...
"Wow! Oh!"
Mo Lan cheered, surprised, and asked: "Is this Liu Daozi?"
Long Bai: "Yes. Liufeng Mountain, Liu Daozi."
Mo Lan tilted her head, thinking, and suddenly asked: "Long Bai, you came so late, have you shed your shell and evolved? Are you at the 8th age?"
"Of course. ”
"The soul talent..."
"Awakened smoothly."
"What about the soul ability? Are there any? How many are there?"
"Understand one... It’s 1.5. The mutation of the ‘Queen Bee’s Heart’ that I understood has been strengthened...”
Long Bai briefly introduced the situation, and Mo Lan cheered with great hope.
After feeling happy,
Mo Lan asked: "Longbai, where is the big orchid? Did it bloom and bear fruit smoothly?"
Longbai: "Of course. It went smoothly."
Long Bai asked back: "Where is Wang Bai? Did the fruit expand successfully? How many rough stones were used?"
Mo Lan: "...The fruit did not expand."
Long Bai: "There is no swelling fruit?"
Mo Lan: "Go over and see for yourself."
The throne of control speeds up...
Given by King Bai Shen The height of the planted tree exceeds 130 meters, and the coverage area of the spiritual power exceeds 1,500 meters.
"Cypress!"
Wang Bai's spiritual power came forward and asked enthusiastically: "Have you awakened your soul talent?"
"Of course -"
Long Bai asked directly: "Wang Bai, there is no chance this year. Expanding fruit?"
Wang Bai: "No."
Wang Bai explained: "The essence of fruit expansion should be to absorb enough original energy and convert it into original energy. , the accumulation reaches a certain level, and then a qualitative change can occur. It is a growth stage and a qualitative change of original energy. After several times, the ideal effect is achieved, which is manifested as fruit maturity. ”
Wang Bai: "The time required for each growth stage is fixed. This time is necessary for the conversion of original energy and the internal development of the fruit. The intuitive display is the familiar flower and fruit cycle. This is what all plants must follow. The law of life.”
Long Bai’s impatience instantly dissipated, replaced by joy.
As Wang Bai deepens his understanding of the world, along with the growth of life and the exchange of consciousness, his wisdom is growing rapidly, and he has learned to think and explore the nature of things.
Speak concisely, clearly organized and well-founded.
Long Bai asked: "Wang Bai, can you estimate now how many years your flowering and fruiting cycle is?"
Wang Bai: "It's difficult -"
Wang Bai: "I look at myself and vaguely judge that it will take 4 to 6 years before the next fruit expansion. The entire fruit development process may take another 7 to 10 times. The fruit swelled. I can't determine the specific time."
"Hiss..."
Long Bai took a breath, and the whole insect suddenly became worse.
Immediately thought of a question, when the god-given seed of King Cypress was still a cypress fruit, it had to undergo fruit expansion 10 times before it fully grew and finally developed into a god-given seed.
Doesn’t the divine fruit it produces also need to undergo fruit expansion 10 times?
The first fruit expansion takes 1 year, the second fruit expansion...
It will take another 4 to 6 years for the second fruit expansion?
Including last year, the interval between each fruit expansion is as long as 5 to 7 years? Take the middle value, 6 years?
There are 9 fruit expansions left, and the intervals are all 6 years?
That’s 54 years!
Counting the first year of fruit expansion.
The seeds given by King Kashiwa are at the lord level, and the flower and fruit cycle is 55 years?
You only got one fruit!
You have already spent nearly three million rough stones on me, how much more do you want to spend?
Long Bai changed his mind and thought of another question: Generally speaking, the longer a single divine fruit grows, the more powerful its effect will be.
There is an example in front of me. Mo Lan is carrying the Divine Grade Six Dao Zi, which is endowed with the soul talent. Calculated, the growth time of a single one of it is more than 10 years.
——The cycle of flowers and fruits of the divine Wang Baizi is 55 years, so why doesn’t he become a god directly?
Long Bai thought again and his head grew three times bigger.
The throne of control landed under the tree planted by the great king Kashiwa God.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, you are finally here!"
"Second Majesty!"
"Has the Second Majesty's divine fruit arrived?"
"Second King, what does the divine fruit that gives soul talents look like? Give me some knowledge..."
Green cypress and black birch came up to greet Mo Lan. They made a lot of noise and came closer to Mo Lan to check. Long Bai waved his tentacles to drive him away, and continued to communicate with Wang Bai with his mental power, asking: "Wang Bai, can you judge now what kind of abilities the divine fruit you produced has been given?"
Long Bai continues to send various force food samples every year to help Wang Bai familiarize and understand various types of force energy.
Long Bai also summoned various insects from Yunji Continent in the name of celebration and let them show their abilities and original abilities to Wang Bai.
Wang Bai collected enough original energy and ability information through contact, and gained a deeper understanding of the world of the original force. After pondering for a while, he replied:
"Longbai should have the ability to evolve quickly and adapt to the environment. According to the naming rules, it can be called 'adaptive evolution'."
Longbai: "..."
Zha At first glance, it doesn’t work~
Wang Bai: “For example, we are in the tropics. After mastering this ability, you can quickly adapt to the hot environment. Another example is the remote Arctic, which is frozen all year round and has four seasons. Severe cold, mastering this ability can quickly evolve to adapt to that harsh living environment."
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai: "Wang Bai, is that all?"
Wang Bai: "It's already very simple, Long Bai."
Long Bai: "All life of the force, with the As the degree of evolution increases, the ability to adapt to the environment will increase. When the evolution reaches the king level, it can adapt to the environment of the southern tropics and the northern extreme cold areas."
Wang Bai: "The degree of evolution is different. High, what improves is the ability to resist uncomfortable external environments. It is the ability to adapt from the bloodline level."
Wang Bai: "For another example, neither ants nor mantises can swim. Even if they evolve to the king level, they are still not good at living in the water. But the ability given by my fruit can be changed from the blood level to change the ants and mantises into forms adapted to activities in the water.”
"I understand——"
Long Bai fell into deep thought.
The ability to touch the bloodline level is definitely not simple.
Furthermore, this kind of 'adaptive evolution' belongs to the category of comprehensive physique, and can most likely be passed on to all types of ants in all systems.
Blue soldiers can be more adapted to life and combat in the marine environment.
Green soldiers and green ants can adapt better to the jungle environment.
Wind air soldiers and flying ants are better at flying in the air.
The fruits produced by King Kashiwa’s god-given seeds can bring huge improvements to the entire ant kingdom.
It’s pretty awesome.
The effect in the Force Star Realm may not be obvious enough now. When we leave the Star Realm in the future, what will the environment be like in the outer world? If it is a harsh environment, the ability to adapt to evolution will play a greater role.
However,
If that’s all, the divine fruit Wang Baizi still can’t sell for a sky-high price like the divine fruit that gives soul talents, right?
There is only one fruit in each batch, and the flowering and fruiting cycle lasts for 55 years. During this period, a large amount of raw stones must be invested. After all, there is no profit at all from the seeds given by the God of King Kashiwa.
Long Bai was unwilling to give up and asked: "Wang Bai, are there any more?"
Wang Bai: "..."
Wang Bai: "You can also change at the bloodline level and become thinner?"
Long Bai: "...What is the effect of this?"
Wang Bai said seriously: "Long Bai, The bloated body is not suitable for survival in any environment."
"..."
Long Bai was completely speechless.
"Your Majesty! You are here~"
Xi Shanshan arrived late in slow motion.
Long Bai's thoughts changed rapidly and he asked: "Wang Bai, according to your statement, if Xun uses the divine product Wang Baizi, it will not only evolve to adapt to any geographical environment, but also optimize its body shape and movements. Become more flexible."
Wang Bai: "Yes. This ability to adapt and evolve can be divided into two general directions: one is adaptation to the external environment; the other is self-adaptation...or self-optimization. . More specifically, I can’t give an accurate answer yet. Maybe, after one more fruit expansion, there will be new discoveries.”
“Okay——”
"Wang Bai, you are busy."
Long Bai connected his tentacles, and his four-shot prosperity ability fell, ending his communication with Wang Bai.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Mo Lan raised her paw and pointed in the direction of the ant nest.
"Hmm - OK -"
Long Bai quickly organized his thoughts, controlled the throne, and placed the branch nests in the palm rainforest.
Mo Lan couldn't wait to get on the throne, first took out the divine fruit that gave the soul talent, prepared it briefly, cut it open and ate it.
Cuibai and Azuki are guarding outside.
Long Bai took Hei Hua to the earth bag that had been prepared.
Climb the earth bag, dig a hole, spit out the cultivated seeds of the split-leaf king orchid, and fill them with soil.
Hei Hua directed the blue soldiers to bring in large water balloons, controlled them, and turned them into drizzle to drizzle the soil bags.
One day later, the seeds sprouted.
After three days, the seedlings of the split-leaf king orchid quickly grew to more than 10 centimeters.
At the same time, Mo Lan completed absorbing the power of the first divine fruit.
Mo Lan also has a king-level soul strength. After taking a short rest, he fell into a deep sleep again...
Three days later, Mo Lan woke up from his deep sleep and led Cui Bai and Xiu. He ran over happily.
"Long Bai, I have successfully awakened my soul talent. The limit distance of my mental power has exceeded 1,000 meters!"
"Congratulations to the second king."
Hei Hua rushed to congratulate.
Long Bai asked: "Mo Lan, you haven't realized the soul ability yet?"
Mo Lan: "No——"
Mo Lan looked at the top of the earthbag and said: "I urgently need a god-given seed!"
The seedlings of the split-leaf king orchid god-given seed have grown to a height of half a meter.
Long Bai gave brief instructions: "Cui cypress, black birch, and water chestnut, you stay here and take care of the split leaves. The second king and I went to work."
… …
The Dominion Throne carried Mo Lan and set off to start this year’s search for the God-given Seed.
Mo Lan rested and recovered on the road. When she arrived at Cicada Mountain to separate her nest, she stayed for one more day to use up the divine neem seeds.
Without any further delay, take a quick trip around Yunji Continent.
No gain.
Immediately go to Wanglan Continent...
Through the undersea passage, the throne of control slowly emerged from the pool. Mo Lan jumped to the ground and walked towards the gate, but suddenly stopped, He tilted his head and looked at the stone wall mural.
Long Bai followed him with his gaze.
On the murals, there are a total of 9 pictures about Phytolacca records, 8 of which record the 8 times of fruit expansion during the growth and development of the divine Phytolacca fruit. The ninth picture records the scene of the flame spider tribe surrounding the god-given plant of Phytophthora planta, harvesting the fruits, and celebrating with joy.
Mo Lan suggested: "Long Bai, is it possible that the god-given seeds of pokeweed and the god-given seeds of king cypress belong to the same level of life. The flower and fruit cycle of the divine pokeweed fruit It’s not the 8 years we predicted earlier, on the contrary, it will be a long period of decades.”
“It’s very possible!”
Long Bai clicked his tentacles in agreement.
Mo Lan suddenly drooped her tentacles in frustration, and sighed: "Unfortunately, the ability given by the divine Wang Baizi is not as powerful as Phytolacca fruit."
Long Bai gently swayed his tentacles and said, "I just completed one expansion. Wang Bai only made a preliminary judgment based on the limited knowledge he has. It’s too early to draw a conclusion now. We’ll have to wait until the fruits are harvested and eaten.”
“That’s right. ——"
Mo Lan calmed down and said, "Don't think about it so much, let's go."
......
Go through the undersea passage and go ashore to say hello to King Jinna Ant.
Have a night’s rest on the island.
Early the next morning, we headed straight to Xiangsi Island.
Long Bai checked the status of the orchard and the God-given seeds, but there were no problems.
Mo Lan searched for the god-given seed, but found nothing.
Then he rushed to Shake Leaf Island, but there was also no gain.
He rushed to the Thousand Reef Islands...
Late at night, the Dominion Throne quietly approached the largest offshore island with an area of 400 square kilometers.
From a distance, Long Bai and Mo Lan noticed something strange at the same time as their soul-fixing ability was activated.
Butterfly-shaped souls in the clouds in the night sky.
Morpho Warrior Purple again.
The soul is in a state of fluctuating activity, it is awake.
The soul has the outline shape of a butterfly, this guy has achieved a breakthrough and been promoted to the king level.
Butterfly King!
“Eh——”
Mo Lan turned to look at Long Bai and asked, "Isn't this guy just waiting for us? Is he here to take revenge on us?"
Long Bai: "Maybe..."
Mo Lan: "Avoid it?"
Long Bai: "That's not necessary. Just ask."
PS: In the previous chapter, the second king's divine product, Neem I made an omission, but I found it after reading through readers' comments, and I have corrected it.
