Chapter 029: Giant Soldier Ants
"Luo Quinoa, one last thing to trouble you, please say hello to the Lacquer Spider King for me."
Long Bai was a little reluctant.
"I understand. Xiaolongbai, Mo Lan, go quickly. ”
Falling Quinoa helps carry the silk bag full of Force food to the mouth of the hillside cave.
Long Bai should go to meet the Lacquer Spider King, who had taken good care of him, and he also wanted to go.
However, it was too easy to attract the attention of other Flame Spider Wanderers.
An 8-instar little ant king, an intermediate flower mantis warrior, where did he get so much Force food?
Once noticed, it's easy to guess what.
Long Bai didn't want to leave any safety hazards, so he joined forces with Mo Lan, one after the other, carrying the spider silk bag into the starship passage.
All the way to the depths.
Long Bai summoned the throne hidden in the room, and together they carried the spider silk bag to the throne, and took off.
……
"Dragon cypress, which fruit is the best?"
Mo Lan was greedy, pulled the spider silk bag, and asked questions tactfully.
"In terms of taste, it's all average."
Long Bai explained earnestly: "Rich insects care about the taste of Force food. Generally speaking, the price of a good Force food will be more expensive. So, most of my choices are not very good and affordable! ”
"Oh-"
Regarding the question of food, Mo Lan's thinking turned quickly, and he asked in turn: "Long Bai, which one tastes the worst?" I'll try it. ”
Long Bai: "Only worse, not the worst." ”
"Dragon Cypress ......"
Mo Lan didn't care, she opened the spider silk bag with a sting, opened the small spider silk bag inside with a sting, took out the maple seeds, knocked off the shell with a click, rolled her tongue, and swept the nuts into her mouth.
"It doesn't taste bad. Long Bai, you taste it! ”
"Really? Actually, I only have a general understanding, and I haven't eaten it. ”
Long Bai buried his head and took a grain with his jaw and tasted it.
Mo Lan asked, "Didn't you say that the quinoa is rich?" ”
Long Bai asked rhetorically, "Isn't it rich?" ”
Mo Lan: "Then it's so stingy and calculating." ”
Long Bai: "The wealth of the Flame Spider Wanderer is accumulated through careful planning. ”
Mo Lan asked, "What about 'Bai Wei'?" Is it also budget-conscious? ”
Long Bai: "Luo Quinoa and Bai Wei are leading a caravan together, and there are many beginner, intermediate, and high-level flame spiders in the team. Due to the relative peace and security on the side of the Ten Thousand Races Continent, only one Mountain Lord-level Flame Spider leader was needed. Luo Quinoa and Bai Wei took turns to follow the Lacquer Spider King into the Wanguo Continent to trade. ”
Long Bai: "I've seen the Lord of Baiwei Mountain, but I'm not familiar with it...... It's a very lively big spider, and when it's happy, it jumps up and down when it walks, turning the goods on its back upside down......"
A praying mantis and an ant, chatting and talking about the caravan, while tasting different types of Force food.
Rest for the night,
Depart early the next morning and return to the Magnolia Mountains in the afternoon.
Long Bai and Mo Lan divided their things, returned to the ant nest, and after a simple tidying, they inspected the territory.
The earliest sowing of dragon cypress, juniper, juniper, juniper, the height of the three species has been close to 1.5 meters, out of the past few days, juniper also sporadically bloomed more than a dozen pink and white flowers.
Long Bai commanded two medium-sized worker ants to go up the tree and bite off the flower spikes directly.
Flowering and fruiting consume nutrients and energy, and now there is no shortage of Force food, and the plants are still mainly based on growth and development.
In the coming year, the three cypress trees will be planted more than 2 meters tall and ready to produce Force Food.
The cypress planted in early spring last year was more than half a meter tall, and the giant cypress planted in late spring was also about 40 centimeters tall.
This year, the dried cedar sown is in the early 10s.
The large-fruited hemlocks on the top of the hill also reach a height of more than 10 centimeters, and the cedar trees grow more slowly than the cypress trees, and it may take four or five years before they produce Force food.
At the age of 9, Long Bai plans to choose Qinghua as the life species.
The growth of the green tree is slower than that of the large-fruited hemlock, it takes seven or eight years to bear fruit, and the flower-fruit cycle is three years.
With the Throne of Domination to assist in cultivation, and Mo Lan's support, Long Bai had the courage to choose so many trees as his life.
After inspecting the territory, Long Bai found a gentle slope nearby, commanded the worker ants, cleaned up overnight, opened a nursery, and sowed seeds of Qinghua, Dawang Shan, Golden Pine, Black Emperor Peach, Kuili and Banxing Pear.
The plan is to open an orchard in Xianglan Mountain and plant all kinds of top plants in mainland China on a large scale.
In the future, when the ant colony grows larger, the side of Molan Mountain will also be operated, and there is a plain there, which is the most suitable for planting peach and pear trees.
……
Microchemical ants and soldier ants were born one after another, 3 each, all of which were small spots with a body size of less than 1 cm.
The usage is almost the same as that of small worker ants and soldier ants.
Microchemical ants take care of their eggs and newly hatched larvae.
Microscopic soldier ants kill tiny pests such as aphids, scale insects, and red spiders.
There is no need to cultivate too much for the time being, according to the plan, the specialized soldier ants are preferred.
The number of specialized chemical ants is sufficient, and the pond continues to be dug.
The working hours were adjusted again, and they only went out of the nest to work in the middle of the morning every day, and finished early in the afternoon.
Dig for two days and rest for one day.
With plenty of rest time, Long Bai was not idle, and after finishing work every day, he ate Force food, took time to absorb it, and slept in the middle of the night.
On the day of rest, eat a fruit pandan seed and focus on absorption.
The 8th instar junior ant king still struggles to digest the seeds given by the gods.
The Force foods purchased by Long Bai contain many types of offal and muscle-strengthening effects, which can be used alternately to achieve remarkable results, and you can feel your improvement every day.
There are not many things to do in the territory of Molan, and every morning he comes to Shannan on time with a spider silk bag, and lies on the throne of domination, eating Force food, and watching the dragon cypress and worker ants work.
It took half a month, and the outline of the pool with a side length of about 5 meters and a depth of 1 meter was dug up.
Make a U-turn and continue digging deep drains to ensure smooth drainage during the rainy season, and then dig pools.
After 10 days, the canal was dug to a depth of 1.5 meters.
Half a month later, the pool was dug to a depth of 1.5 meters.
Specialized soldier ants were born one after another, and Long Bai organized 12 of them into a team and ordered them to go out to hunt for food, and the ant nest initially realized its self-sufficiency in food.
After a warm rain,
The flower buds of the hibiscus branches in the north of the mountain are spiky.
Long Bai had a premonition that evolution was imminent, so he informed Mo Lan and ordered the worker ants to stop work and take a few days off.
Lie down in the depths of the nest and eat the last of the pandan seeds.
After two more days of recuperation, he ate some of the Force food he had purchased from the quinoa, and he felt lethargic.
……
Wake up from a deep sleep.
Successful completion of molting.
Long Bai checked the life sac as soon as possible.
The color of the blue god-given seed deepened by three points, and the connection that had been there became apparent.
There is a throbbing of life in the seed.
The blue god-given seed was successfully conceived and turned into a life seed!
The dragon spat it out, placed it on the cushion, and took a green tree seed from the spider silk bag and put it into the life bag.
Shaking their tentacles, the worker ants carried the cut shredded meat and sent it into the nest in a queue and delivered it to the front.
Due to eating too much Physique-strengthening Force Food recently, this evolution woke up weaker than usual.
While eating, the dragon cypress sorted out the newly awakened memories, and awakened the core inheritance of the giant head ant at the 9th instar stage: the giant soldier ant!
[A soldier ant with a larger body size than a specialized soldier ant, with half the strength of the ant king, with high combat intelligence, can command the soldier ant battle, and is the most powerful helper of the ant king]
A giant ant type!
Long Bai searched for cultivation methods, and was immediately disappointed.
In addition to pheromone stimulation, the larval stage also needs to be fed Force food, which is mainly strengthening, in addition to pheromone stimulation.
But there are other benefits,
Common worker ants and soldier ants age quickly, with a lifespan of only a few years or more than a decade, and they do not grow.
The giant soldier ant is completely different, with the same lifespan as the ant king, and can grow simultaneously with the evolution and growth of the ant king.
But
A corresponding amount of Force food is required.
- There are giant soldier ants, and there must be a corresponding, similar 'giant chemical ants', raising one to help take care of the ant nest, and it is not bad to manage the worker ants.
- I need a giant ant more......
- The giant soldier ant is not bad, but I can't afford it at all!
Long Bai thought about it for a moment and made up his mind.
After repeatedly examining himself, the physique strengthening effect of various Force foods after molting and evolving appeared, and his body was much stronger, with a body length of more than 15 centimeters.
Familiar with the various changes after evolution, Long Bai turned his head and picked up the blue god-given seed, obsessed with it.
My God-given seed!
