Applejack and Limo talked in the car for the middle of the night.

He finally understood the other party's purpose.

The family behind Li Mo is interested in the ant-people in the Volute region because of the [Bird's Claw Fruit].

The local species are difficult to transplant and can only grow and mature locally, so they investigated this group of people who were born with strange diseases, and wanted to hire local people to build orchards in the area.

"It can be hard."

Applejack told him, "The average life expectancy of the locals of Vrut is 31 years, and after the age of 20, their bodies will plummet, and their appetite will increase dramatically. It is also possible that this is the reason why they can relatively suppress hunger diseases. ”

"It takes at least 10 years for a bird's claw tree to go down from the tree to the point where it can harvest fruit. The fire ant ministry can't wait. ”

"Hunger sickness makes ant-people irritable and anxious, and it's not easy to manage. If the amount of grain is brought over, it is good that the amount is small, they will exchange labor and commodities for it, and if the amount is large, they will sit and eat empty, and the people here have no sense of saving. ”

Li Mo said again: "What if the ancestors of the white bones come to replace them? ”

"It's definitely okay to plant trees, needless to say the farming skills of the ancestors of the white bones. However, in order for these fruits to flow into the Mystic Kingdom and even the Yao World, fire ants are needed to remove the poison sacs, which is very difficult to do. ”

Applejack pointed in the direction of the orchard, "There is also the selection of the bird's claw fruit itself, if it is not ripe enough, both the taste and the ability to eliminate negative effects will be greatly reduced." ”

"It depends on the ability of the Ant-Man [Fruit Hunter] to find the ripe fruit inside. It is said that before the fall of the gods here, they used fruits as food all year round, but after hunger and illness, the fruits were not enough to fill their stomachs, so they searched everywhere for food. They also hunt animals, but the amount of prey they can hunt is far from enough to meet their food needs. ”

Li Mo also frowned when he heard this: "It seems to be really tricky. ”

"It's complicated here."

Applejack said, "That's why the ants want to get out of here, even if it's to sell their children to people from the outside world, which is kind of a way out." There is a certain probability that the children born of their intermarriage with foreign tribes will not have hunger disease. But people outside are very smart now, and no one will let themselves be infected with this terminal illness for the sake of stimulation. ”

"Actually, there is a way, Mo Shao, you have already given it before. It's to give them a place to stay, like those UFO worlds created by the UFO gods of your Yao clan, it seems to be called UFO Island, right? Can you really get it? ”

"UFO Island is not a problem. Although the relevant jurisdiction and application method have not yet been announced, I have a special channel to apply. Li Mo asked, "You said that you can let them plant trees on the UFO Island?" ”

"Mo Shao really has the strength."

Applejack gave a thumbs up: "If you can apply for permanent residency on UFO Island, the ant-people of the fire ant department here, the offspring can be sent over, and there is no curse over there, it will be much better." In the new world of UFO Island, it is difficult to say whether it will tend to be normal, but this is the most promising, and for the Ant Man, this hope is very important. ”

"Let them have hope, have the weakness of the child, of course they will work hard."

"As long as you Yao Clan open the UFO Island and give them a place, even if only a few people are allowed to pass, the Ant People will definitely work hard and become the hardest working fruit farmers."

These are also Applejack's words.

He has no grievances with the Fire Ant Ministry, and although the Ant People have a bad temper, doing business with them is actually very simple and effortless.

Applejack looks at the locals in misery, the drooling way of being tied to a tree with hunger to avoid hurting people, and no one who has ever seen it can appreciate the misery of bestiality.

"Our Yao clan?" Li Mo looked strange: "You are also a Yao clan." ”

"Me?"

Applejack laughs at herself, "I wish I was." ”

"The Secret Kingdom belongs to the Resurrection Kingdom, and the Resurrection Kingdom is part of the Yao civilization, why aren't the people of the Secret Kingdom the Yao Clan?" The other party's tone was puzzled.

It can be seen here that the young master really doesn't know the life of ordinary people.

Applejack had to tell the other party these common senses: "The Yao clan only has two cities in the Nine Realms. The Nine Realms are the Motobu, the Cloud Temple, the Abyss, the Island of Zhou, the Blood Hill, the Casting Sun Bay, the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom Alliance, the Resurrection Kingdom, and the Alder World, and the two cities refer to the Guest City and the Jewel City. ”

"In the Secret Art Country, only the people of Jewel City can claim to be from the Yao Clan."

The other party's eyes were stunned: "There is still this division? Who made it, haven't you heard of it? ”

"Businessmen know that, everybody thinks so."

Applejack stuffs a piece of sweet gum into her mouth and chews it slowly, it picks up her mind and relieves her fatigue.

"The origin is the Nine Realms and the Two Cities, which is easy to sell, and the people in these places are also more popular, and no matter what they do, they are more prioritized. That's what most people see. ”

"Not to mention other places, our Wanli Chamber of Commerce, when we encounter partners with the same conditions, we will also find the Nine Realms and Two Cities. My brother, a few years ago, wanted to transfer the goods to the Yao clan headquarters in Canopy City, so that he could grow his business, but he was arrested for forging his identity and is still in prison. ”

He paused: "To be honest, as long as there is an identity certificate between the two cities of the Nine Realms, there is no barrier to communication. And our secret art country is different here, it is not from the Jewelry City, then you have to fill out the form to go through the review and security check, and you have to go through the procedures in advance. It will take about a month from application to response. That's the reality. ”

"When we do business, we know what people like, and everyone recognizes these places. I think I'm from the Yao tribe, it's useless, and others don't recognize me. The Secret Art Country is the Secret Art Country, and everyone wishes that it could be directly placed under the direct management of the Yao Clan, instead of being managed as it is now. ”

"Of course, the Mystic Kingdom must be much better than this one, and we have a choice."

Applejack grabbed the water bottle and inserted it into the helmet's breathing port and took a sip of water through the hose inside, "If you save some money, you can also buy a house in the city of the Resurrected Kingdom, and in a few years, you can get the identity of a citizen of the Resurrected Kingdom." Many powerful people in the Secret Art Country have done this, and in the future, the children can also study and live directly in the Nine Realms and Two Cities on the Yao Clan's side, and the future will be much brighter. ”

Li Mo seemed to understand: "Everyone has their own difficulties. ”

"It's okay. At least there is hope, so saving and saving money is useful, we have hope, unlike here. ”

Applejack looks into the distance, where the campfire in the forest is gradually extinguishing.

The men and women of the Fire Ant Division sank into darkness again after a brief period of pleasure.

……

The next morning, before dawn, the lone horse came to the car and knocked on the glass.

The local chief, who was twenty-six years old, looked very anxious on his face.

Applejack puts on her hazmat suit and helmet, and takes a mouthful of water in her mouth before getting out of the car.

"Five people died in the village, they were killed." Lone Horse said.

"Killed?"

Applejack suddenly came to her senses: "What's going on?" ”

Lone Horse's eyes looked in the direction of the tribe behind him: "It's all food guards, young and middle-aged, who died from the venom of the stone snail, they were all stabbed in the neck, and when they reacted, they couldn't speak and couldn't move." Fire ants died a lot, and most of the food was emptied. ”

Applejack reacted immediately: "Ant Breeding Department? ”

Being able to move from underground, approach the fire ant department undetected, and snatch the granary guarded by the fire ant nest colony is something that only the same ant-man can do.

Applejack knows that the Fire Ant Division and the Ant Breeding Division are two hostile groups with their own territory, but she has never met the Ant Men of the Ant Division.

All he knew was that the base camp of the Ant Breeding Department was usually in an underground cave or near the water, and if he couldn't talk about it, he wouldn't even have a place to run.

In addition, there are more people in the ant department, and the culture and style are extremely conservative and radical.

"Who else?"

Lone Horse scolded something, and slapped the roof of the car with his big hand: "Those dogs, in order to make the other tribes around them obey them, they do everything, kill people, steal food, set fires, and poison ant nests." Holy shit, how come they don't starve to death. ”

Li Mo, who had not spoken beside him, spoke at this time: "In order to unify and integrate into a country? ”

"Whole fart."

Lone Horse spat out: "Those dogs, think that fire ants are heretics, and breeding ants are the orthodoxy of the world, and they want to exterminate all fire ants." In nature, fire ants protect us, but between tribes, we protect fire ants. ”

Li Mo was a little incredulous: "Just for this? You're all like this, hungry and sick, and hungry...... This is not common sense and logic. ”

Applejack smiled wryly, "You're right, but this is Frut." ”

"As long as there is still a group of people in this world who approve of fire ants and another group of people who approve of breeding ants, the conflict will continue."

“……”

Li Mo suddenly understood something: "I see, different ants represent different beliefs and different life cultures. ”

"Don't say anything that doesn't work."

Lone Horse looked irritated: "The Ant Breeding Department is to destroy the Fire Ant Division, because the Breeding Ants naturally like to attack their own kind. All ants are the food of the seed ants, among which the fire ants are the most resistant, and the seed ants will always give priority to attacking the fire ants. Those dog days used this to take advantage of the opportunity to steal our food. ”

Li Mo looked puzzled: "But don't you grow all kinds of seeds?" ”

"The ants collect the seeds, they just dig up the seeds and use them to raise the larvae." Lone Horse frowned: "Why don't you understand anything?" ”

Li Mo couldn't answer a sentence.

Applejack next to him hurriedly smiled and played a round game: "This is Vrut." Mo Shao, they cannot be measured by Yao society. ”

"We need food!"

Lone Horse looks at Applejack, "I'm going to starve to death without food." Jay, it can survive for five days at most, and then the whole tribe can't hold on, and those dog days can appear, take people away with food, and destroy this place. We now have no blood pills to sell. ”

"You help us, and we'll help you later."

Applejack thought for a moment, "I'm going to raise food." ”

Li Mo didn't raise any more objections this time, he asked, "Can you find a seed ant?" I'll take it back and show it to my family. ”

Applejack quickly explained: "Mo Shao's family is very ...... In short, if Mo Shao can make a move, there will be ways for food and territory. ”

"This one is."

Lone Horse put his hand in his pocket and grabbed a palm-sized worm: "I was going to use it for a meal, for you." ”

Li Mo's eyes widened suddenly: "This is an ant?" ”

"That's it."

Applejack also sees ants for the first time.

It looked like a large black beetle, with many spines on its shell, two powerful pincer-like jaws, four dexterous antennae on its head, six powerful legs, sharp hook claws at the tip, and stinging needles under its bulbous abdomen.

The name "Seed Ant" is really confusing.

It is a powerful predator.

"Thank you, I'll go back and try to get resources." Li Mo put the ants in a box.

Before leaving, Li Mo gave Lone Horse two palm-sized stone statues: "This is the idol of Lord Yao and Daxiong Satellite, if you are in a desperate situation, pray to them." ”

The lone horse waved his hand: "I don't believe in your gods, but I believe in you and my friends." I'll wait for you. ”
