The Watase Flame Spider clan traveled the mainland to trade, carefully following two principles:

First, absolute neutrality.

Never participate in wars between races or kingdoms, or even remain neutral between zerg and orcs.

Second, don't trade with a profit of less than 20%.

Of course, we don't buy and sell at a loss. Especially after a long journey from the Ten Thousand Races Continent deep into the dangerous Ten Thousand Nations Continent, if there is not enough profit in the transaction, it is a loss.

This time, however, quinoa may be at a loss.

The dragon cypress was discovered by the quinoa last spring, and the name was also derived from the quinoa, and following the advice of the quinoa, the first life species was chosen as the 'dragon cypress' seed.

Originally, I thought that a rare male ant king would definitely be highly sought after in the kingdom of all female ants.

The result is the opposite, 17 giant-headed ant kings have been asked, and all of them have expressed no interest in male ant kings and are not willing to spend even a single rough stone on it.

Now it's spring again, and the dragon cypress is already the primary ant king in the 4th instar stage.

The Zerg molt and grow once is the 1st instar evolution, and a plant seed is selected to be included in the life sac to give birth to 1 life seed.

The dragon cypress has already given birth to three life seeds, the juniper, and the juniper, and urgently needs a safe territory to sow the seeds.

……

The caravans traveled at night and camped during the day to rest.

In the glow of the morning light, the demarcation barrier to the sky exuded a brilliant halo of light.

This is already the easternmost part of the Wanguo Continent, the caravan gathering place of the Watase Flame Spider tribe, at this time there are dozens of caravans, large and small, hundreds of flame spiders above the main level of the mountain gathered, exchanging information, exchanging goods, and it was very lively.

"Long Bai, I'm sorry ......"

The quinoa wants to speak and stops.

The Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider is like an armored chariot, with a wide armor back loaded with colorful backpacks woven with spider silk, which contains the capital of the caravan trade - Force food and rough stones.

On the top rucksack, a male ant with a body length of two or three centimeters and membranous wings on his back drooped his antennae, extremely depressed.

"I know, quinoa, what am I going to do......"

Luo Quinoa hesitated and said, "There is no place for the ant clan to survive in the Ten Thousand Races Continent. In the continent of all nations, without the protection of the ant king of the same race, you have nowhere to stay, once you leave the caravan, there will be patrolling soldiers and ants will immediately find you and kill you as an intruder......"

Dragon's frustration turned to fear.

Luo Quinoa hurriedly added: "Long Bai, don't worry. Our caravan knows that there is a safe place to go, but ......"

Rekindling hope, the dragon cypress waved its tentacles and asked hopefully, "Where?" ”

Fall: "Cloud Trail Continent." ”

"Cloud Trail Continent?" Long Bai looked at the light curtain and asked, "Is it the other side?" ”

"Yes......" The quinoa's forelimbs moved, and the ground soil wriggled to form a ball of earth that flew and floated.

"The world we live in is a huge sphere, and there are not only two continents, nations and nations."

Luo Quinoa said, a spider silk wrapped horizontally around the earth ball, and said: "This is the equator, the god of nature has laid a divine power barrier, dividing the planet into two halves, north and south. ”

Two more spider silks were wound vertically, and he said, "The divine power barrier laid by the God of Nature divides the planet into eight continents. In the northern hemisphere where we are located, there are the Ten Thousand Continents, the Ten Thousand Nations Continent, the Dragon Bamboo Continent, and the Cloud Trace Continent. ”

"Our ancestors of the Watase Flame Spider clan participated in the exploration of the continent and made a speculation: during the same period, only two of the four continents in the Northern Hemisphere will be rich in Force, and the other two will fall into 'silence'. At the current period, the Longzhu Continent and the Cloud Trace Continent are in a silent stage. ”

"The so-called 'silence' is the depletion of the mountain force by the natural force vacuum. We are all Force lifeforms, and without the Force, we are like fish without water, unable to survive, but ......"

Luo Quinoa didn't have the heart to sell it, paused, and finally said: "Although the Cloud Trace Continent is in the 'silence' stage, in the area close to the divine power barrier, there is a Force that has infiltrated from the side of the Ten Thousand Nations Continent. It's barren, but it's enough for you to put down roots and survive. Dragon cypress, this is the only safe place I can think of for you. ”

Barren and safe.

Long Bai grasped the point of his words, his mind was complicated, and said, "I understand." Thank you. Fallen quinoa. ”

"I'll take you there......"

Falling Quinoa informed the leader of the group, the Lacquer Spider King, and broke away from the group with the dragon cypress, and walked quickly through the plains and meadows, climbing up the hills full of low weeds and shrubs.

Long Bai's eyes were drawn to the stone monument that stood there.

"Fallinoa, what's that?"

"The chronological stele of our Flame Spider tribe. It's a tradition. Every year, we will send a little flame spider to the opposite cloud trace continent to check the state of the Force over there, and then carve a stroke on the stone tablet, representing that time has passed for 1 year. ”

The quinoa approached with the dragon cypress.

There are a total of 6 stone tablets, 5 of which have been carved with "spiders", a spider has 8 legs, representing 8 years, each carved 100, 5 stone tablets means 4000 years.

The sixth stele is being carved, and more than half of it has been carved.

Luo Quinoa said: "The rotation change of the continent's Force cycle is just the speculation of our Flame Spider Clan ancestors. It has been more than 4,500 years now, and the Force of the Ten Thousand Nations Continent and the Ten Thousand Races Continent has not decreased significantly, while the Longzhu Continent and the Cloud Trace Continent are still in a period of silence. ”

"Everyone is convinced of the ancestors' speculation, so this work is arranged by the Spider King every year, and he intends to stick to it forever, which has become a custom of the Watase Flame Spider clan."

"Oh-" Long Bai stood on a high place, looking around.

"Falling Quinoa, how do I pass through the divine power barrier of the gods of nature?"

"Over there!"

"There's a passage over there, and if you follow the passage all the way, you'll be able to reach the Cloud Trace Continent. The Force continues to seep into that side along the passageway, so, Dragon Cypress, you can find a high slope near the exit and settle down and sow the seeds of your life......"

Falling quinoa explained as he crawled briskly to the other side of the hill.

A hole less than a meter in diameter.

The huge size of the Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider can't get into it.

"Long Bai, right here."

"Buried under the hillside is the 'starship' of the extraterrestrial civilization, which was destroyed by the god of nature a long, long time ago and fell here, becoming a passage for us to travel through the divine power barrier."

"As early as when the starship fell to the ground, a large number of ant kings came here to explore, opened all the hatches that could be opened, and took all the treasures that could be taken."

"Long Bai, there is a lot of space inside, you go in and follow the mark, don't trespass, be careful of getting lost......"

The quinoa advised, and at the same time manipulated with his mind, the spider silk that bound the rucksack was automatically untied, as flexible as an arm, and with a 'tear' sound, he pulled open a pouch and took out the small bag inside.

"Thank you." Long Bai lifted his two forelimbs to catch it.

It seems to be very large, but in fact it only contains 3 or 3 life seeds, as well as 6 valuable tree seeds collected by the dragon cypress.

The bag barely weighed, and the dragon cypress carried it instead, flapping its wings and flying to the ground.

"Wait."

With a tear, the quinoa pulled open another rucksack, and five black wheat grains the size of a dragon's head fell.

"Long Bai, this is the black finch wheat that can strengthen your carapace, a small parting gift, good luck."

"Fallin. Thank you. ”

Long Bai unpacked his small bag and packed the black finch wheat one by one.

"Locus, will we meet again?"

Long Bai was a little sad and reluctant.

Luo Quinoa is also depressed, he has been in business for more than ten years, this is the first time to do a loss-making business, distressed, unbearable, and reluctant.

Without the protection of his kindred, this little ant king who has followed him for a year is likely to be unable to survive in the cruel natural jungle.

Luo Quinoa: "If there are no accidents, I will come here again in two years, and I hope to see you again then." ”

"You'll be able to see me in two years!" Long Bai packed his bags and packed his mood, and said sonorously:

"Quinoa, I owe you 5 grains of black finch wheat, worth 2 rough stones. I will pay it back with the equivalent cypress seeds. ”

After speaking, he lifted his bag ten times the size of his body, resolutely and walked into the passage with a steady step.

Soon through the dirt layer, I saw the broken metal door of the starship.

Inside, you'll find a spacious all-metal passageway, rusted over the years, marked by arrows carved by the juice of unknown plants.

At intervals, there are metal doors that have been violently damaged.

Long Bai was curious, but he remembered Luo Quinoa's advice, and walked along the mark, not daring to trespass.

Incomparably large metal creations, long journeys.

He walked for an unknown amount of time, nor did he know how far he had walked, until he was tired and had no strength to continue on, and then he stopped, ate a grain of black finch wheat, rested, and then set out on his way.

When you run out of strength, stop again, eat another grain of black finch wheat, and hit the road again.

Finally, in the endless darkness, a ray of light lit up.

Through the crack of the heavy metal door, crawling through a passage of earth and rock, facing the dawn of the morning, I came to the opposite continent.

- Have you been walking for a day and a night?

The cypress climbed the hill, put down his bags, and looked around.

Behind it is a divine power barrier that leads to the sky.

Ahead are rolling hills and jungles.

A cricket jumps past in front of you.

The dragon cypress membranous wings instigated, flew up and pounced on it, used both jaws and front legs together, directly twisted off the head, and then tore off two fat bouncing hind legs, holding and gnawing.

While replenishing physical energy, while looking around and observing silently.

Indeed, as Luo Quinoa said, the abundance of Force on this side of the Cloud Trace Continent was much lower than that of the Ten Thousand Nations Continent next door. When you calm down and feel it, you can feel that the Force is infiltrating along the channel, and then quickly diluting and dissipating.

Barren, so safe.

But this 'security' is only relative to the continent next door.

Frogs and insects chirp in the surrounding grass, birds fly in the branches, a beast roars from time to time in the deep forest, and many hunters are silent, lurking and waiting.

For a junior ant queen who is only 4 years old, the wild mountains and forests are full of dangers.

The dragon cypress quickly ate and retreated into a bush to rest.

It wasn't until near noon that he packed his bags and set off towards the northern peak of the hill.

Don't dare to go too far, and don't want to go too far from the exit of the passage. Before dark, the dragon cypress chose a suitable spot on the southeast slope of the peak, excavated rocks, and dug a cave to shelter in.

Long Bai had a strong sense of crisis, and for the next three days, except for the necessary hunting for food and sleeping, the rest of the time was busy digging holes, planingly, zigzagically, and up the stairs, digging deep into the rocks.

At the same time, he is also observing the surrounding environment and confirming that there are no large predators inhabiting the mountain.

On the fourth day, when a spring rain fell, and seeing the water in the nearby dry natural stream, the dragon cypress was relieved, and cut the weeds between the excavated nest and the stream, dug a pit to sow the three life seeds, and brought small stones to press on them to prevent them from being dug out by other insects or birds.
