In winter, food is scarce, and many birds in the mountains live on wild fruits and grass seeds, so they may rush into the territory to feed when they are hungry.

The god-given seed of Fruit Pandan is approaching maturity, and Long Bai does not recommend that Mo Lan leave the territory.

Other than that

Today's colony includes 51 specialized ants and soldier ants, and 22 worker ant larvae are waiting to be fed, and these large ants have a great demand for food.

In the structure of the ant colony, the number of soldier ants responsible for predation is insufficient, and the predatory ability is insufficient, so it is necessary to stock up on enough food before leaving.

Long Bai and Mo Lan discussed, and in the middle of winter, the seeds of the fruit pandan gods were harvested, and then set off.

……

It rained cold and light rain for two days in a row.

Storm

Merlan hunted and killed a wild boar.

The dragon cypress directs the colony to be divided, cut into thin strips, and placed on a stone slab on the hillside to dry.

There have been several warm sunny days in a row, and the temperature has warmed up.

The shredded meat was dried into jerky.

The biogas digester was almost completed, and the special chemical ants were unable to work, so Long Bai personally went to the field, worked overtime, and dug it out......

……

The wind was chilling.

A new round of cooling.

It was rainy.

A layer of snow stopped on top of the high mountain in the distance.

The coldest time of the year.

Shanbei.

Mo Lan held the rough stone and stood in front of the mother plant of the god-given seed of the fruit pandan, catching the tip of her toes and scraping, and layers of white spar powder were scraped off.

The original crystal powder quickly turned gray, and the pure force escaped, and was absorbed by the god-given seed of the fruit pandan.

The final stage of maturation,

The color of the capsule is changed from vibrant green to dark green day by day.

After three days, the whole body is dark green, and it begins to glow with a dry yellow color.

After another four days, the skin is yellow-green, and the chambers are cracked, revealing the full grains of orchid seeds inside.

The pandan seeds are finally ripe and left to dry in the sun.

There were no accidents along the way, zero loss, and the full amount of 308 capsules.

According to the agreement, the dragon cypress was divided into 154 grains.

Spider silk bag storage and preservation.

After all the preparations are completed, you can set off with confidence.

……

Silent winter, occasionally heard a bird or two chirping.

Calm river.

The Throne of Dominion flies low, slowly, meandering along the river.

There is no Force at all here, and the throne automatically releases a light blue Origin Shield to prevent the loss of its own Force.

Long Bai and Mo Lan lay side by side on the cushion of the throne, motionless......

It is worthy of being a god-given seed, and the strengthening effect of fruit pandan seeds is not ordinarily powerful.

In the seventh instar stage, it takes almost a whole day to digest and absorb one small ant queen.

One capsule a day is a bit overwhelming. For every two grains you eat, you have to rest for a day.

Correspondingly, it is a rapid growth that can be clearly felt.

The God-given seed is too strong.

Long Bai estimated that he only needed to eat about 30 fruit pandan seeds at most, and he could evolve into the 8th instar stage.

Mo Lan is a 1-year-old intermediate warrior, and his digestion ability is a large level higher than that of Long Bai, and he can eat two Fruit Pandan seeds every day.

……

After struggling to complete the absorption of today's orchid seed force, Long Bai stood up from the cushion, opened his membranous wings and trembled, moving his muscles and bones, and at the same time kindly reminded Mo Lan beside him.

"Mo Lan, you be modest. Eat again, the next time you molt and evolve, you will gain weight again. ”

"Oh-"

Mo Lan's self-control is very poor.

Long Bai's suggestion to it was to take out 100 Fruit Pandan Seeds and sell them to the caravan, and exchange them for other Force foods that strengthen muscles, internal organs, blood, strength, speed, and other physical aspects.

Comprehensive enhancement and balanced development are beneficial to the improvement of combat power and growth and evolution.

Mo Lan understands the reason, but it just can't help but be greedy......

Mo Lan was weak-hearted, and she was also a little impatient with Long Bai's repeated nagging, so she quickly changed the topic and asked, "Long Bai, you are all seven years old, why do you still fly so slowly to dominate the throne?" ”

Long Bai: "The improvement in age evolution is not much. ”

Long Bai asked rhetorically, "Mo Lan, how far did you run last time?" It's been a whole day, and I haven't seen the particularly big river you mentioned. ”

"I'm flying fast."

Mo Lan asked again: "Long Bai, could it be that you miscalculated?" This river it will not merge into the big river. ”

"Impossible!" Long Bai was sure: "There will be no mistake. ”

As we once said, the iron law of the evolution of water veins in nature is that a stream flows into a small river, a small river flows into a large river, and a large river flows into a particularly large river, and then flows south into the sea.

The dragon cypress is four or five kilometers away from the mountain territory, and the river width is four or five meters.

You won't get lost if you follow the river.

But the river is turning around......

But there is nothing wrong with quinoa, and Long Bai is confident that this river will definitely merge into the particularly large river that Mo Lan said.

And so it is.

Next

On the third day of exploration, in the morning, a large river with a width of several tens of meters appeared in view.

"Mo Lan, it's time to get there!"

The dragon cypress controls the throne tilting upward, hovering high in the sky to look out.

On both sides of the river are green and yellow grass and yellow reeds, which are connected with the deep blue river water as far as the eye can see.

"Mo Lan, downstream or upstream?"

Mo Lan: "Next! ”

The dragon cypress controlled the throne to fly above the river, down the river, and said, "This river is too big. Left bank or right bank? ”

Mo Lan thought for a moment and said, "Left bank! ”

The dragon cypress controls the throne to move sideways, sticking to the right bank, down the river.

Mo Lan and Long Bai both paused the pandan seeds, lay side by side on the edge of the cushion, poked out their two heads, and looked down, focusing on the search.

Throne of Dominion is indeed a bit too slow.

After a day, a night and half a day's flight, Mo Lan suddenly jumped up, looked around, kicked off the throne, flapped his wings and hung in the air, and said:

"Long Bai, this is it!"

"Over there!"

"The Ice and Fire Kettle was found over there."

After Mo Lan finished explaining, he leaned and landed in a patch of weeds on the river beach.

It's quite far from the river.

The dragon cypress took control of the throne and followed unhurriedly.

Levitate at low altitude and look around.

Weeds lodging in large areas, and messy dead branches and leaves.

Very visible traces of flood erosion.

Long Bai asked, "Mo Lan, did you find it here?" ”

Mo Lan: "Of course. ”

Long Bai: "To be specific?" I remember you saying you found it in the grass? ”

Mo Lan: "The rainstorm swelled, and only a little bit of the grass was exposed, and I had a strong vision, and I keenly noticed that there was a metal reflection. ”

"Got it......"

Long Bai lightly tapped his tentacles and analyzed, "That should be the big water that washed the ice and fire kettle down from the upstream." ”

"I think so too!"

Mo Lan agreed, and said, "But we searched all the way, but we didn't find anything." ”

Long Bai: "How can it be so easy to ......"

Long Bai paused and said, "Go down the river, walk for two more days, look for it, if there is no gain, we will turn around and go back from the other side of the river." ”

"Good!"

Mo Lan agreed without thinking.

After a careful search of the neighborhood, he set off down.

Two days have passed, and there is still no gain, no discovery.

According to the plan, go against the current.

Another three days, still no gains.

Return straight to the mountain territory to rest.

Stock up on food for the colony.

The Throne of Domination restores the Force's reserves.

Five days later, we set out again on the road and continued our search upstream along the river.
