Chapter 52: Team Building

The delicious strawberries completely relaxed the worker ants.

The next day, except for the guard post of the Artemisia Empire, the other worker ants slept until noon. Today is a special holiday, an extra day off in addition to Saturdays and Sundays.

The ants ate half a grass seed for breakfast, and then came to the sea buckthorn moor, wandering aimlessly.

Hua Jiao walked behind Xiao Ran and asked, "When will this cloud palace be built, there are more than 80 ants in the anti-sperm cave, and there is a grandmaster again, and it will be almost unbearable." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ran looked at the pepper and said, "Today is a rest day, didn't you say that you don't talk about work on a rest day." ”

After hearing this, Hua Jiao patted his black brain melon seeds, suddenly woke up, and said, "Oh! But my ant life has never heard of a day off. In the past, when I was in the Artemisia Empire, I had to work outside except when it rained. ”

"Weekends are also rest days, haven't you experienced weekends?" said Xiao Ran.

"Hey. I'm really not used to it!" Hua Jiao sighed.

Burst...... This peppercorn......

Xiao Ran calmed down and said, "Then let me ask you, what is labor for?"

Hua Jiao thought for a moment and replied, "Of course, labor is for exploring, gathering, and carrying food. ”

"And what is the purpose of carrying all this food?"

"Of course it's for eating!" replied in the affirmative.

"Then let me ask you again, how long is the food in our anti-sperm cave enough to eat now?" Xiao Ran asked.

"This ......" Hua Jiao hesitated a little, "Now we have more than 80 ants, three persimmon cakes, enough to eat for two months, crab jerky is not a lot, enough to eat for a while, two legs of eggs, and the three jars of thatberry jam, although one jar is promised to the Shi brothers...... Then we seem to have enough to eat for half a year. ”

Sichuan pepper hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "Half a year! I can eat it for half a year!"

"Haha...... Hahaha, yes, it's half a year!" Xiao Ran laughed proudly, the grain storage in this half year is his achievement.

"But why did I work every day in the Artemisia Empire before, and I never saved enough food for half a year?" asked Hua Jiao.

"That's probably because the empire doesn't have a day off, haha......" Xiao Ran said.

......

At this time, Tengjiao suddenly ran over and complained to Xiao Ran: "Prime Minister, what kind of rest day are you doing, as soon as it is a rest day, the master said that he wants to rest, and he won't even pass on his martial arts to me." ”

"Proper rest may make your martial arts more sophisticated. Xiao Ran comforted.

"But! What else can you do on this day when you don't practice martial arts! You can't practice martial arts on rest days, you can't practice martial arts if you don't practice martial arts, you have nothing to do, and you feel that ant life is quite boring when you have nothing to do!"

"Who said you have to do nothing on your day off?" Xiao Ran asked rhetorically.

"So what else can you do. Rattan pepper grunted.

Xiao Ran looked around, there were not many seabuckthorn wasteland grasses, and there was really nothing fun to do. He looked up at the invisible toon tree, which grew on the edge of the sea buckthorn heath, and when the leaves grew in spring, it completely obscured the sun of the sea buckthorn heath, and because of this, there was no grass in the sea buckthorn heath.

"See that giant tree?" Xiao Ran pointed to the towering toon tree.

"Of course I saw such a huge tree!" replied Fuji Pepper without thinking.

"Did any ant ever climb on top of it?" asked Xiao Ran.

"Just kidding, such a tall tree, I guess I still climbed to the top, and I was already starving to death. Rattan pepper said.

"Okay, very good! Then let's go to that giant tree today and have a team building activity!" Xiao Ran said.

"Team building?!" Sichuan pepper and rattan pepper said in unison.

"Well, yes! ”

Because the Shi brothers were resting in their own cave, they did not move on the seabuckthorn wasteland. Xiao Ran summoned all the workers in the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland and announced the team building activity.

He loudly declared: "The so-called team building is team building, which aims to enhance the relationship between ant cells and strengthen the ability of ant cells to help each other. Our team building this time is on the giant toon tree on the edge of the sea buckthorn wasteland, in principle, those who don't want to participate can not participate, is there anyone who doesn't participate?"

"Team building!"

"Team building!"

"Team building!"

The ants cheered.

All the workers wanted to participate in this team building activity, but Xiao Ran considered that the wizard was old and not suitable for strenuous exercise, so he did not let the wizard participate, but the wizard insisted again and again, so he joined the team building team.

The worker ants who were seriously injured in the battle for the bamboo shoots also participated in this team building, and the sea buckthorn insect clan United Nations will never abandon any member who has fought for it.

Komori is a tree climber, and he is the first to climb the giant toon tree, and his agile body climbs on the trunk of the tree, which is no different from the flat ground. Komori quickly showed his ability to climb trees, and soon he was 80 centimeters ahead of the ants.

Not to be outdone, the other ants climbed up with all their might. The wizard crawled slowly, mingling with the team of crippled ants. After climbing for 20 minutes, the worker ants who ran in front saw the worker ants climbing slowly due to disability in the back, so they turned around one after another, set up, pushed, and pushed the disabled worker ants, and gave them help.

No way......

Xiao Ran originally wanted to point out that the ants should have the spirit of mutual assistance when the gap between the two teams was obvious, but he didn't want to wait for this opportunity, and these worker ants naturally understood.

And the rattan pepper and the spear eighteen ants he led were still carrying silver spears in this tree-climbing team building activity, so that they could counterattack at any time in case the Artemisia Empire came to attack.

The workers climbed up for three hours, but did not reach the top of the toon tree. No one has ever climbed to the top of this tree, and no one knows how tall it is.

"Too high!" said a worker ant.

"yes, that's too high!"

"Yes, yes!"

......

Xiao Ran looked at the ground, and the sea buckthorn wasteland was much smaller than usual. And the Artemisia jungle next to it, also at a glance, the cypress trees on the edge of the Artemisia jungle, the bamboo forest behind the old house, the pepper trees not far away, the persimmon tree, and even the location of the Shangxuan Empire, are all clear. In addition to these already known places, there are many things that Xiao Ran has not had time to explore after transforming into an ant. His perspective when he was a human being is completely different from that of an ant. When humans find a sparse and ordinary place, it may be extremely dangerous for ants.

And the firewood house where the mountain spring mouth and the former near the leg spirit are located, and the house of the third grandfather, because it is on the other side of the old house, the current height is invisible. If you can climb a little higher, you should be able to go over the roof of the old house and look over.

"Ahem...... What a great view here!" the wizard sighed, "If you look at the moon here, it will be bigger and rounder, ahem." ”

"I don't know if the moon will be bigger and rounder, but I know that we can't climb up. If you climb up like this, you won't be able to get down the tree until it gets dark. "Pepper Road.
