Chapter 033: Midsummer
In the expectant eyes of Long Bai and Mo Lan, the blue did not attract a new round of rapid growth, but the existing three leaves grew thicker, and the fourth broad leaf was slow to unfold.
There were many unexplained children and water bugs in the small pond.
The most excessive thing is that at some point, a frog broke through the defense of 12 soldier ants, jumped into the pond to lay eggs, and hatched a large group of tadpoles.
To these creatures that invaded the territory, Azure was very friendly, and even a little happy.
Tadpoles will develop into frogs, which Moran is not happy about.
The pond had just been fertilized, and the dragon cypress was reluctant to release water to catch them.
Bugs and water flies will turn into mosquitoes and dragonflies and fly away.
As for the tadpoles, let's clean them up when they become frogs.
……
Up and down the mountain, there are so many things to be busy.
The hatchery room has to be inspected every morning and evening to leave pheromones.
Mowing the grass to replenish the digester.
Fertilize a few cypress trees on the mountain and grow more while the early summer is not so hot.
Nurseries that sow ordinary seeds need to be cared for, and ordinary plants can be much more fragile than Force plants.
There is also a large pond at the bottom of the mountain, on which Long Bai spent most of his time and energy, and it took about 20 days to finally dig it.
The sun became scorching.
There has been no rain for 8 consecutive days, and the flow of water in the river gully has decreased significantly.
Long Bai led the ant colony to work overtime, and Mo Lan also came to help, and with the joint efforts, dug a diversion canal in time to fill a large pond of water.
Blue grows in need of plenty of sunlight and prefers high temperatures and humidity.
Under the scorching sun, the growth rate is much faster.
The fourth broadleaf unfolds, the height of the whole plant is nearly two meters, and the main trunk at the bottom of the pond reaches a thickness of about 5 centimeters.
The first broadleaf is about 0.6 meters in diameter and more than half a meter in height.
The small pond is designed to be 0.5 meters deep and is also filled with water.
Long Bai was a little relieved at this time and continued to dig,
On the west side of the small pond, dig a large pond with a side length of about 6 meters and a depth of about 1.5 meters.
However, it is not as urgent as before.
Adjust working hours,
In the early morning, the sky is bright and the ant colony is taken out of the nest to work, and the sun is blazing in the middle of the morning and returns to the nest.
In the afternoon, when the sun sets, they dig out of the nest for a while, and call it a day after dark.
In his spare time, Long Bai or stayed by the small pond, telling stories to Zhanlan and teaching some basic knowledge; Or huddle in an ant nest on the hill and concentrate on eating the Digestive Force food.
Many plants are ripe in this season, and Mo Lan's enthusiasm for finding God-given seeds has never waned, and she wanders up and down the mountains every day.
……
twilight
Long Bai takes the worker ants out of the nest to work.
Mo Lan flew in with a bulging bag of spider silk.
Long Bai's thoughts moved slightly, and the throne of domination was enlarged.
Merlan landed straight down on the cushion.
"Long Bai, eat fruit."
"Uh-"
Mo Lan opened the bag, took out a bunch of raspberries and handed it to the dragon cypress, then took out another bunch and threw it to the ant colony below.
A worker ant stepped forward, touched its tentacles, licked it, and turned its head away.
Dragon cypress is also not a vegetarian.
However, the Throne of Domination blue light scan always says that the nutrition is unbalanced, and there are also various animals that are mixed and matched to eat, and it is still unbalanced.
Try some fresh fruit.
"Long Bai, don't giant ants like to eat raspberries?"
"Eat."
"Why didn't the worker ant eat it?"
Long Bai waved his tentacles, gave an order to the worker ant just now, came back and ate the raspberry, and ordered several nearby worker ants to go up and help.
Seeing this, the nearby worker ants turned around and ran away.
Most of these fruits are not ripe, and the unripe ones are too sour.
Long Bai pulled the spider silk bag and took out two more strings, picked and chosen, and threw away all the undelicious ones.
"Hahaha......"
Seeing this, Mo Lan smirked.
After laughing,
Mo Lan said seriously: "Long Bai, I have searched all of Xianglan Mountain, but I have not found a new god-given seed. I'm thinking, over there, the ...... of Molan Mountain Let's go over and find out? ”
Long Bai: "It's the dry season soon. ”
Given that Mo Lan had found a god-given seed of Fruit Pandan, a kettle made of ice and fire, Long Bai raised six legs and approved of its treasure hunting.
"Mo Lan, it can be arranged like this. I will send you over with the throne of domination, and you will stay in the mountains of Melan and look for it slowly. I'll go back to Xianglan Mountain, help you manage the territory, and I'll pick you up in 15 days. ”
Mo Lan tilted her head and thought for a long time, and agreed: "It's okay!" ”
Mo Lan then began to explain: "Ordinary orchids should be watered less, and a little watering is fine when it is especially dry. Orchid life, you pay attention to use your mental power to check the subsoil, if it is particularly dry, water them nearby, water thoroughly, and let the water seep through......"
……
In the early morning of the next day, I packed my luggage and set off.
Long Bai has a strong sense of orientation, has been there once, recognizes the direction of Mount Molan, and controls the throne to fly in a straight line.
Day and night, it only takes one day to get to the place.
The trip also brought 10 worker ants and spent another day helping Mo Lan dig a cave in the mountains to live in.
After the arrangements are made, we will return to Xianglan Mountain in a straight line.
Surprisingly, this year's midsummer skies are not as clean as last year's, and there are always clouds covering the day.
Clouds gathered, lightning and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.
The second large pond, which had been dug at the foot of the mountain to a depth of less than half a meter, was flooded.
Long Bai was too lazy to dig a drainage ditch, so he commanded the worker ants to dig a third large pond directly to the south of the small pond.
As a result, it was only two days of digging, and as soon as the outline was dug up, it was another torrential rain that lasted all night.
The muddy torrent rushed down with dead branches and leaves, flooding large and small ponds, which lasted for a morning before gradually subsided.
There is no drought this year and there is no dry season.
The territorial plants do not need much care, and it is relatively quiet in the middle of summer.
Soon, the 15-day time agreed with Mo Lan arrived, and Long Bai simply packed up and set off.
The Throne flew for a day and a night and arrived at Mount Meran.
"Mo Lan?"
Approaching the cave, it was found that the entrance to the cave was blocked with thorny branches.
Just as he was about to release his spiritual power, his mind was racing, and he hurriedly took his mental power back.
Mo Lan has no habit of going out to plug holes.
Sensing the surrounding Force fluctuations again, it is clear that it is sleeping in the cave and evolving!
Almost something big happened!
If it is disturbed, the consequences are unimaginable.
Long Bai hurriedly manipulated the throne and retreated.
Looking closely at the branches used for blocking, the weather is hot, and the leaves are a little wilted, but there is no sign of drying, and the incision position is still relatively fresh.
Sleep for no more than a day.
Mo Lan should have counted the time, most likely last night when he fell asleep.
It has eaten a lot of Force-Enhanced Complex Foods, and it has evolved from 2nd to 3rd instar, so it is not a big problem.
Long Bai was at the entrance of the cave with peace of mind.
The principle of the Throne of Domination Assist's rapid completion of the Sleeping Evolution is to provide ample Force.
Without the assistance of the Throne of Domination, we can only slowly absorb the needs of evolution and transformation from the natural world.
Four days later,
midnight
Violent Force fluctuations were suddenly heard in the cave, a sign of entering the final stage, which lasted for a while before subsided.
Another day passed, and the Force fluctuations in the cave calmed down.
"Dragon cypress?!"
"Mo Lan, are you awake? Hungry, right? You sort out the inheritance memories first, and I'll go get some food back. ”
The dragon cypress opened the blocked dead branches and looked at it, controlled the throne to enter the cave, let it rest on the throne, and went out on foot to hunt for food.
