In this year's autumn trade, Long Bai can only run alone, and there is no big problem.

Scarlet Light Mountain, leaving the green maple and red maple to accompany the mulberry for a period of time.

Put down some of the worker ants and blue ants, give Heiti another chance, let him lead the team, and wait for Sang's life to plant the plants and fruits to ripen, pick, and refine the ant honey.

Long Bai stayed in Scarlet Light Mountain for a few days, personally picking mangoes, collecting a large number of mangoes and various wild fruits, and handing them over to the blue ants to refine.

Calculating the time, I went to the Jianlan Plain first, spent a few days, searched carefully, confirmed that there was no God-given seed, collected a batch of wild fruits, and then went to Baifan Mountain to trade, and collected a large number of ordinary rice fruits along the way to refine them into ant honey.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed to the Ghost Fan Mountain and pocketed the most important god-given ghost fan at one time.

The most important deal of the year is done, and the time is approaching late autumn.

The blue God-given seed is also ripe this year! This is the output of the first batch of the Evolved Advanced Ant Queen, and the exact time is still uncertain.

Long Bai returned straight to the sea.

……

Pandan Mountain.

Azure Reservoir.

After a whole summer of growth, the height of the Blue God-given Seed has only risen by about 1 meter, the top broad leaf has only grown to about 20 cm in diameter, and the first broad leaf at the bottom has barely changed.

The growth rate plummeted.

Of course, compared to the god-given seeds of arbors of the natural god system, the growth rate of 1 meter in 1 year is still very fast.

"Azure!"

The dragon cypress beckoned, and the throne slowly approached, levitating over the water.

"Long Bai—" Zhan Lan replied, commanding the five Blue Soldiers assigned to it by Long Bai, carrying worker ants, to harvest lotus seeds together.

Zhan Lan took the initiative to say: "Long Bai, after winter, dig the reservoir dam and release some water." ”

Long Bai: "Why? ”

Zhan Lan: "Let's dig up the lotus root and sow the lotus seeds in the spring of next year." ”

Longbai: "Why re-seed?" ”

Zhan Lan: "Select the seeds of the strong flowers with full grains and sow them to grow better lotus." ”

Long Bai: "......"

This is the most common method used by the Zerg to breed excellent plant seeds.

- Did I tell Zhan Lan about this?

Long Bai thought back, and in his memory, he didn't talk about it.

However, Long Bai had long been accustomed to all kinds of strange blue fruits, so he did not bother much, carefully inspected the growth of blue fruits under the leaves, and at the same time promised:

"Okay. Blue. When the time comes, you can direct the worker ants yourself and dig down the drain of the embankment. ”

Long Bai asked again, "Zhan Lan, take a closer look, how long will it take for your fruit to ripen?" ”

Zhan Lan was silent for a while, and said, "It can be a few days earlier, or a few days later." ”

Long Bai: "??? ”

Can God-given seeds be ripe like this?

Long Bai asked, "When is it a few days earlier?" ”

Zhan Lan: "Tonight." ”

Long Bai asked, "How many days late?" ”

Zhan Lan pondered and asked rhetorically, "Next year?" ”

Long Bai: "......"

Long Bai: "Don't delay, just tonight." I'm going to inform the cedar to get ready! ”

Long Bai hurriedly returned to the mountain, informed Xiang Bai and Cui Bai to go to the Blue Reservoir to prepare, and informed Juniper to strengthen the patrol of the territory.

Long Bai inspected inside and outside the ant nest, up and down the mountain, confirmed that everything was okay in the territory, and rushed to the side of the blue reservoir to wait.

In the middle of the night, Azure began to absorb the Force at an accelerated pace.

The dragon cypress controls the throne of domination to quickly replenish it, and easily passes the qualitative transformation stage of the original energy.

At dawn the next day, in the morning light, the blue-green fruits began to change color, pure blue, dark blue, blue-black, and the fruits were ripe and picked.

Long Bai twisted and checked.

Mountain master quality, still superb!

A total of 570 pieces, a jar of honey pickle, and Bai Wei took it as a sales sample.

Cedar and Cypress are both water-based talents, and they awaken to have water-based abilities, eat 5 each, and strengthen them slightly.

Long Bai himself is only willing to eat 1 piece to taste the taste.

There are 550 integers left, and the flesh is refined first to make blue ant king honey. The pits are dried and stored for refining in the spring of the following year before trading with traveling merchants.

After the most important harvest of the blue fruit of this year, and there was nothing else to worry about on the mountain, Long Bai took a group of worker ants and blue ants and set off to Mount Melan.

Search for God-given seeds and gather wild fruits.

After five or six days of being busy alone, he flew southeast and rushed to Hanlan Mountain.

…

…

…

The Throne of Domination entered Hanlan Mountain, flew high in the sky, and went straight to the mountain in the center.

Deep in the dense forest, Mo Lan sensed the fluctuations of the Force, soared into the air, and rushed to the top of the stump ant nest.

Without waiting for Long Bai to ask, Mo Lan raised his forefoot and shouted excitedly, "Long Bai, look! You've found something good! ”

"It's—" Long Bai stared.

On the tip of Mo Lan's forefoot hangs a silver-white metal ring, only about 1 centimeter in diameter and about 3 millimeters in width, inlaid with a brilliant ruby that blooms like a rose in the sun.

"Long Bai, do you know this? Is it worth the money? Mo Lan asked in anticipation.

Long Bai: "...... I don't know. ”

Mo Lan: "Don't know? ”

Mo Lan was even happier, and a little proud, and said, "Long Bai, you look!" ”

After Mo Lan finished speaking, the Force was injected into the ring, converging on the Yin Ruby, and immediately, a stream of Origin Energy was fed back from the gem, forming a beautiful and bright red rose-like Origin Pattern, which spread rapidly along Mo Lan's right forefoot until it covered the whole body, and the whole was like a cluster of blooming roses.

"What is this? Defense? Long Bai lifted his forefoot and poked it lightly.

I was surprised to find that it was not a simple pattern, this kind of original energy was like a substance, covering Mo Lan's whole body.

With a strong poke, the sharp toe tip pierced it, and the claw was withdrawn, and the damage was instantly closed.

It has a little bit of protection, but it is not a defensive origin barrier similar to the "Hydro Shield", and it is not a creation of an extraterrestrial civilization for combat.

Spiritual power scanned, isolated.

- Purely isolated for psychic power detection? But this eye-catching color doesn't look like it's used to assist in stealth.

- Disguise yourself as a bouquet of roses? That's stupid, isn't it? I can see through it with my heavenly eyes.

Long Bai was puzzled, unable to understand.

"Dragon cypress! Is it pretty? Mo Lan asked loudly.

“…… Pretty. ”

Long Bai replied perfunctorily and asked, "Mo Lan, is there any other use for this thing?" For example, defense? Or is there any other use that has a practical effect? ”

"I ......haven't found anything at the moment," Mo Lan withdrew the Force, and the rose-bush-like Origin Energy covering her body collapsed, let go of the tips of her foretoes, handed the ring to Long Bai, and said:

"Long Bai, you can try!"

Long Bai took it, and the spiritual power scanned and inspected, the Origin Metal and Origin Gem made by the Extraterrestrial Civilization.

In the same way as Mo Lan, fasten the ring to the tip of the left forefoot toe and try to inject the Force.

Immediately, the original feedback, the rose-like pattern spreads along the left forefoot, quickly covering the whole body.

Long Bai lifted his leg and tried to take a few steps, which were soft and did not cause any hindrance to his movements.

The membranous wings were also covered with a layer, and they fanned out, setting off a bright red original energy light and shadow, gorgeous and gorgeous.

"Beautiful! Pretty! Mo Lan jumped and cheered.

“……”

What's the use of just looking good? The dragon cypress retracted its mannous wings and stared at the ring for another moment.

Increase the infusion of Force, and the excess Force is stored in the red gem.

Stopping the Force injection, the Origin Pattern covering the body did not disappear, but consumed the stored Force to continue to maintain.

Similar to the Throne of Domination, the Force can be stored and then continuously released at a constant rate. But compared to the Throne of Domination, the storage capacity of this ring is dozens of grades lower, and it can only be regarded as a gadget, and there is no comparison.

Long Bai tested again and again, but found no other functions.

Basically figured it out,

This ring is a creation of an extraterrestrial civilization that is covered with a beautiful original energy pattern on its body.

Zero practicality.

Long Bai assessed: "Although this thing does not help to improve combat effectiveness, it is beautiful and novel, and there must be insects willing to spend a lot of money to buy it." ”

"Not for sale!" Mo Lan hurriedly snatched the ring back, "We don't lack rough stones. Why sell? ”

There is no shortage of this rough stone right now. If you like it, keep it for fun.

Long Bai nodded his tentacles in agreement, took a piece of spider silk rope, took the ring, passed it through the middle, tied a knot, and hung it around Mo Lan's neck.

This makes it easy to carry and not easy to lose.

"Mo Lan, where did you find it?"

"Over there. I also found a rather large piece of starship fragment that could be built on top of a stump ant nest, so that I was not afraid of the sun in the summer. ”

Chunks of debris? More useful than this rosette ring......

Long Bai: "Good! Go over and take a look. ”

…

…

…

Long Bai is estimating that if Bai Wei's sales go as smoothly as expected, it will need more 'Force Honey' in the coming year.

On this side of Xianglan Mountain, it is necessary to prepare and store a sufficient amount of ant honey.

The workload of collecting wild fruits has increased greatly, but without Mo Lan's right-hand man, Long Bai is a little too busy.

Long Bai came to Hanlan Mountain, originally thinking of pulling Mo Lan along.

But now that Mo Lan has found something good, he is on the move, Long Bai is not good at sweeping Mo Lan's prosperity, and he stayed in Hanlan Mountain for two days, controlling the throne alone and going on the road.

There is still about a tenth of the 'Southwest' that the dragon cypress has not explored, so let's take a walk along the way and see if we can find another place in the Force.

……

The speed of the Throne of Domination isn't slow.

Most of the time is spent on picking. In the vacuum of the Force, the worker ants cannot be separated from the throne for a long time, and they need to be clawed by the dragon cypress himself.

Stop and go along the way, keep busy, tired to death.

With Bai Wei, as long as nothing else, the sales of Force honey will increase year by year, and the demand for various fruits will increase year by year.

Flying around in the wild to collect wild fruits in this way is not a long-term solution.

It's time to speed up the construction of the orchard!

And now it also has the initial conditions to open up the wasteland beyond Xianglan Mountain.

In Longbai's plan, the first stop to open up the wasteland: Nansour Zao Mountain!

Nansour Zao Mountain is mainly planted with rattan, southern sour jujube fruit trees, peach trees, pear trees, raspberries and so on.

Seedlings can be raised in Black Lotus Lake and Xianglan Mountain, and then transported over.

……

Thirty days passed.

The map of the southwest is all lit up, and no eleventh Force point has been found.

The 10 specialized blue ants led by this trip were all full, and there were 17 large blue ants with full stomachs.

Long Bai controls the throne and travels to Crimson Mountain.

The mature mulberry, lychee, longan, bay leaf and other species in the mulberry territory have all been picked.

Heiti led the worker ants and blue ants to rest in the cave where the mulberry lived.

"Heiti, the mission has been successfully completed, right?" Long Bai asked.

"It's done." Heiti replied with a shake of his tentacles.

Its expressive ability is very limited, and at the same time it releases pheromones, mixed and mixed, expressing a vague piece of information: I'm not lazy!

Why are you panicking if you're not lazy? Long Bai stepped forward to inspect the abdomen of the blue ants, and it was not bad, all kinds of Force ant honey were stored in the abdomen of each worker ant, and there were no mistakes.

Heti can barely be used as a 'command ant'.

Just don't know if it was born by accident? Or can it be cultivated specifically?

The biggest problem with going to other parts of the Force to open up wasteland is the lack of 'command ants'.

If we can stably breed a 'command-type specialty ant' like a black tin, which does not need to consume Force food, but can assist in directing the work of the ant colony, then the command system of the ant country will undergo subversive changes.

In the future, if you go to other parts of the Force to open up wasteland, you don't need to cultivate intelligent ants and giant ants, which can save a lot of resources.

How did Heti come about? It is necessary to test, to figure it out.

There are 7 newly bred larvae of specialty ants in the stump nest. Longbai has begun to experiment, releasing a large number of pheromones that stimulate the differentiation of specialized ants, and a small amount of pheromones that stimulate the differentiation of giant soldier ants and intelligent ants.

……

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Outside the cave came the calling spiritual power.

Feeling the fluctuations of the force, Mulberry, who was working behind the mountain, rushed back with the green maple and red maple.

"Dragon Cypress Ant King, we can evolve!"

"This time it's my turn to go first!"

"Where's Mo Lan?"

"Has Mo Lan found the treasure of the extraterrestrial civilization?"

"Definitely found it! Moran is favored by the gods of nature. ”

"I must have found it! Merlan has the strongest Force Perception. ”

Sang also asked curiously: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, is there a harvest over there in Molan?" ”

Long Bai: "...... A little. ”

Long Bai explained, "Found a creation of an extraterrestrial civilization. A very small ring, after being injected with the Force, has a beautiful Primal Pattern covering the carapace, and it is only one function that has no practical use. ”

Green maple and red maple were stunned and looked at each other: Did you really find it?

Qi Brush turned his head, his eyes were hot, and he looked at Long Bai: We also want to hunt for treasure!

Long Bai shook his tentacles and beckoned, "Sang, help, unload the mobile ant nest first." Acer acer advanced. ”
