It took two days of rest for the cypress to recover from his 'poor health', activate the 'messenger' function of the Throne of Domination, and begin to give birth to a second ant egg.

A new problem was discovered: the winter temperatures were low, and the first eggs that had been hatched were extremely slow to develop.

The dragon cypress began to dig rocks, digging holes deep into the mountain, following the instructions of the inheritance memory, and digging a warm, moist and clean 'hatchery'.

The diameter of the ant passage is about 3 centimeters, because the limit of the shrinkage of the throne of domination is so large.

Placing the eggs on the throne cushion provides sufficient force to help the eggs develop and hatch.

The hatchery is designed to be hemispherical, with a height of more than 10 cm and a diameter of more than 10 cm.

The overall amount of work is quite large.

Long Bai entered a busy state of labor.

Early this morning, he was running out of the hole in the nest room with the gravel, and the Tianyan above his head was keenly aware of the changes in the light and shadow nearby, and subconsciously raised his head, and a beautiful shadow snatched from the top of his head.

A praying mantis with wings spread nearly half a meter.

The carapace is bright and beautiful, the warrior of the Flower Mantis Clan!

The Flower Mantis warrior also sensed the abnormality below, and quickly turned around and landed, four or five meters away from the entrance of the cave.

The eyes are facing each other.

The color of the carapace of the Flower Mantis Warrior is white, pink white, and light green, with a three-color gradient, graceful and elegant, like a blooming orchid.

Long Bai searched for the inheritance memory and recognized it: the rare orchid mantis.

How can there be an orchid mantis warrior here?

The praying mantis is naturally much larger than the ant family, and the opponent is more than 20 centimeters long, and it must also be a junior warrior, about 8 or 9 years old.

While Long Bai looked, identified, and estimated the other party, the Flower Mantis Warrior also tilted his head and stared at Long Bai curiously.

"Ant-Clan?"

The Flower Mantis Warrior is very jerky to communicate with his mental power.

"Giant ant."

Long Bai replied.

At first, I thought that a caravan had been sent to check on the changes in the Force on the side of the Cloud Trace Continent, but as soon as I communicated, I immediately denied this speculation.

The Flame Spider Caravan walks on the Continent of Nations and the Continent of All Nations, and the 'Worm Mouth Trade' is one of the important profitable items.

Long Bai had been with the caravan for a year, and knew very well that it was impossible for the caravan to take an 8-year-old or even 9-year-old Flower Mantis warrior. Because it takes at least two or three years for the Zerg warriors to grow at this stage, the life seeds they bred have long been sown, germinating and rooting to a certain height, and it is difficult to relocate, let alone migrate for long distances.

Not a caravan.

It is also impossible for the orchid mantis to survive in the continent ruled by the ant clan and the bee clan, so there is only one possibility left: it was born in the cloud trace continent and survived alone in the cloud trace continent.

Based on just one sentence of conversation, Long Bai had a judgment on the origin of the Orchid Mantis warrior.

And also through the other person's mind to keenly judge the mood at this time: the other party is not hostile, some instinctively vigilant, full of curiosity, and surprise and joy.

"Are you a male?"

The Flower Mantis Warrior thought for a moment and asked.

"That's right."

Long Bai replied.

"These three cypress seedlings are your lifeline?"

"Obviously."

"The Force here is so thin."

"Yes."

"You don't have any tribal elders to protect you?"

"Hmm-"

This is also an obvious thing, and Lombard reluctantly replied truthfully.

I definitely can't beat a 20-centimeter-long flower mantis warrior.

His own life is next to him, and he can't run away.

The only way to avoid conflict is to try to avoid it.

Long Bai took the initiative to introduce: "My name is Long Bai, and that one is the Dragon Cypress seedling, my first life plant. ”

Long Bai asked again, "What's your name?" ”

"Oh-" The Flower Mantis Warrior thought and asked rhetorically, "Mo Lan? My first life seed is Mo Lan, and my name should be Mo Lan! ”

Long Bai: "......"

Mo Lan?

Is there an insect that chooses such a chicken seed as a life seed?

Long Bai asked tentatively, "What about your second life?" ”

Mo Lan: "The second, third, and fourth life seeds are all very beautiful stone orchids. ”

“……”

Long Bai choked.

This is the result of not having the guidance of the elders of the same clan.

The newborn warrior knows very little, and when he encounters any plant seed, he chooses it casually when he sees it suitable, and he doesn't understand that the choice of life seed is related to the amount of income in the future territory, and it is the top priority related to evolution and growth.

This flower mantis warrior is gone.

But......

Long Bai thought about it again, and something was wrong.

The lifespan of a junior Flower Mantis warrior is also only about 15 years.

In perception, this guy named Mo Lan is still very young, how did he evolve to the level of eight or nine years?

Long Bai said tentatively: "I'm almost two years old, how old are you?" ”

Mo Lan tilted her head to think, thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Four years old? Or five-year-old? ”

Long Bai: "......"

Don't you even remember how old you are?

Long Bai asked again, "Is your territory full of force?" ”

Mo Lan: "Yes. Only the mountain where I live is abundant in the Force, and the rest of the place is barren. ”

Mo Lan raised a capture foot, pointed to the east of the rising sun, and said, "Fly over there, there is almost no Force." ”

"Yes......" Long Bai coped, his mind turned sharply, and he continued to probe and asked one after another:

"Where do you live? Far away? What do you do to come to such a barren hill? Foraging? Or take advantage of the winter to find excellent plants to make a living seed? ”

Mo Lan raised his forefoot and pointed to the guide, and replied one by one: "I live over there, it's quite far from here." I've come to find God-given seeds! Of course, I also searched for orchid varieties that were not available in my own territory. ”

A God-given seed?

"In this barren environment of the Force, there can be no God-given seed."

Long Bai kindly reminded him, was speechless for two seconds, and said, "I am a 5th instar junior ant king. How old are you? ”

Mo Lan: "9 years old. ”

Long Bai: "Have you chosen orchids for all 8 of your life?" ”

Mo Lan: "Yes. yes. Do you also like orchids? ”

Long Bai: "......"

I don't like orchids.

I just think you're going to be a poor ghost in the future.

Herbaceous plants grow fast, and if the orchid seeds are sown, there will be a Force food output in the second year, and a relatively considerable output in the third year. However, the future growth ceiling is insufficient, and after ten or twenty years, the yield will be far inferior to that of the arbor.

Seeing that Long Bai didn't answer, Mo Lan changed his tone and asked, "Long Bai, do you like cypress trees?" ”

Long Bai didn't answer directly.

"By choosing trees such as cypress and pine trees, the plants will grow taller and produce more Force food in the future."

"Hmm. Is it? But ......"

Mo Lan tilted her head in thought and asked, "Aren't orchids beautiful?" ”

Long Bai: "It's beautiful. ”

Mo Lan: "I have planted a lot of orchids on the mountain, and when they are in full bloom, they are very beautiful and fragrant. ”

Long Bai also learned hypocrisy from the Flame Spider Caravan, and couldn't help but agree, "That's right. The orchid is beautiful and the aroma is very insecticidal. ”

"Yes. yes. ”

Mo Lan was overjoyed, instinctively flapped her wings, jumped two or three meters high, and glided to the ground, approaching the entrance of the dragon cypress's cave.

"Actually, cypress trees are not bad."

Mo Lan conveyed a spiritual thought with a comforting tone, and at the same time, sneaky, the spiritual power swept into the cave.

"Long Bai, are you digging a hole?"

"Hey, what's that?"

Mo Lan was suddenly excited, and asked a novel question.

"What?"

Long Bai was wary.

Mo Lan grabbed the two pictures and said, "Colorful, full of food......"

It turned out that it was the colorful spider silk bag that caught its attention.

Long Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Spider silk bag." Woven by the Watase Flame Spider Clan, this is their racial talent. ”

"Oh! Yes. Mo Lan remembered a little, searched for the inheritance memory, and soon remembered it completely, and wondered:

"The traveling merchant of the Watase Flame Spider Clan? I've never seen it before. Are there any other Zerg warriors nearby? I didn't see any of them. ”

"Long Bai, has the Watase Flame Spider passed through your territory? Can you tell me about it? I can trade them with Force Food! ”

Mo Lan was emotional, excited, and hopeful, and subconsciously spread its orchid-like wings.

Long Bai bowed his head and was silent.

This Flower Mantis warrior born in the Cloud Trail Continent has survived and grown up alone, and it may not have seen other insects before.

There is no protection from the elders of the same clan, and he does not even understand his own situation.

It's a poor creature alone, too.

"Melan......"

Long Bai called out its name for the first time, solemnly, and said, "The name of this continent is 'Cloud Trace Continent', and you also know that going east is a barren and barren land without the Force, and the Force life cannot survive. ”

"In fact, the Cloud Trail Continent is in a period of Force-silence. Over here, it may be just you and me, or other Zerg warriors, but there must be very few of them, and we are outcasts......"

Long Bai raised his front, pointed to the divine power barrier that towered into the sky, and drew a circle on the ground with his forefoot, and said:

"The world we live in is a huge sphere, a planet, and the gods of nature use this divine power barrier to divide the continents. This is the equatorial ......"

Long Bai retold Mo Lan the speculation of the division of the continent and the silence of the Force cycle, and informed him of the existence of the passage of the wreckage of the starship and his origin.
