Half a month of winter fishing in Black Lotus Lake.

Long Bai guarded Xianglan Mountain, carefully inspected the construction and development of the territory in the past year, and also made a count of the kingdom's ant population.

The number of high-level specialized soldier ants has finally reached 500, and the number of large soldier ants is also 400, and the high-level combat effectiveness of the ant country barely meets expectations.

Dispatch 500 soldier ants, commanded by juniper and giant cypress, to garrison the mountain fortress on the west side of the mountain range.

In the territory of the mountain range, there are soldier ants under every life-saving plant.

There are staggered and vertical fixed ant paths up and down the mountain, and there are teams of soldier ants patrolling regularly according to the fixed route.

Most of the soldier ants cultivated during the intermediate ant king period were arranged in the ant nest, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

In the south of the mountain and in the north of the mountain, once any place encounters danger, the information is immediately transmitted layer by layer, and a large number of reinforcements are immediately rushed.

Initially has the majesty of the ant country.

There are 230 high-grade specialized blue ants and 120 large blue ants, and the logistics support is sufficient.

Continue to improve the combat power of the Ant Country!

meanwhile

In the middle of winter this year, the worker ants and soldier ants bred during the junior ant king period died in batches.

The resistance of elderly ants is reduced, and they cannot withstand the severe cold of winter.

……

Five days later,

Long Bai transported 50 fast-stomached specialized blue ants to Black Lotus Lake and returned 40 full-bellied blue ants.

Check the status of the black grapes, very healthy, no abnormalities found.

Five days later, 30 fast-stomached blue-specific ants were shipped and 40 full-bellied specialized-blueants were brought back.

Five days later, the winter fishing was over, and Long Bai made two round-trips in a row, transporting the cypress and the blue soldiers and blue ants involved in the fishing back to Xianglan Mountain.

Hei ate 20 black lotus seeds in advance, and there were no signs of breakthrough, and there were no other abnormal conditions.

Long Bai made the third trip and brought Heiti and the remaining worker ants and soldier ants back to Xianglan Mountain.

The larvae of the seven specialized ants used in the test have reached a length of nearly 1 meter, showing no special features, and are completely consistent with the larvae of the specially cultivated ants.

At this point, it is almost certain that Black Ti is the exception to mutation.

Long Bai inspected all the ants in the ant country again, and found no second case.

Long Bai was a little idle, and beckoned Heiti over again to do some confirmatory tests. Take out all the colors of Force food stored in the warehouse, and let Heiti try them in turn.

The result is the same, only about one-fifth of the Force energy can be absorbed, and most of it is wasted.

This is a matter of constitution, the cause of the level of life.

The dragon was more and more curious: how did it evolve?

I took Heiti with me, and in my spare time, I also gave lectures to him and imparted all kinds of knowledge.

Time flies.

Late winter.

The time when the ordinary golden fruit of Scarlet Light Mountain is ripe and harvested.

The wild Crimson Divine Seed is about to bloom, and the nectar and pollen are the raw materials for making 'Royal Jelly', so don't miss it.

Long Bai packed his bags, took the black grapes, and set off a few days early.

……

Hanlan Mountain.

Outside the range of the Force Point, in the thin area of the Force, Mo Lan flapped his wings and soared into the air, and fell vertically again.

In the distance, Long Bai saw it, manipulating the throne to step forward and land.

hilly slopes,

Molan, green maple, and red maple are busy digging in the soil.

A fragment of a large starship wreck slanted into the dirt.

A large pit has been dug and the exposed part is seven or eight meters wide.

"Dragon Cypress!"

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

Green maple and red maple greeted each other, jumping and cheering: "We have found the baby!" ”

The two guys scrambled to the spider silk bag that was placed not far away, and in the process of tearing, they opened the bag and took out a black metal block.

"Look, the dragon cypress ant king!"

"We found it with Mo Lan!"

"Merlin said it didn't need to."

"Let's take it and play with it."

"It's mine and the red maple."

Green maple and red maple you say a word, first emphasizing the ownership of things before handing them to Long Bai.

Metallic and lightweight.

The length is about 10 cm, the width is about 6 cm, the thickness is about 4 cm, and the corners are polished and smooth.

Six rectangles, one with a frosted texture, resembles a base, and the other five with delicate patterns of unknown herbs.

It's all one, and you can't see any gaps when you look at it alone.

Scanning with mental power, he found that there were subtle and almost imperceptible gaps in some of the patterns.

But there are no traps.

The Molan, the green maple, and the red maple had clearly figured out the usefulness of the object, but they did not give any hints, and as if they were tested, they just looked at the dragon cypress.

Long Bai smiled inwardly and injected the Force.

Silently, the pattern cracks the gaps.

Continued to inject the Force, layer by layer, the black metal retreated like flowing water, revealing the inner space.

It turned out to be an elaborately designed metal box for storing small items.

The inside of the box was empty.

The Force was removed, and the unfolded metal box did not close.

Long Bai tried to inject the Force again, and the black metal slowly closed like flowing water, and the pattern was docked, and it was tightly sealed.

"Long Bai, do you know?" Mo Lan asked tentatively.

"I don't know."

Long Bai shook his tentacles and said, "A metal box for storing small items." What's inside? Was it empty in the first place? ”

Mo Lan: "It's empty—"

Mo Lan: "Dragon cypress, it has a practical function, you take a closer look." ”

Long Bai had no interest in this little game of testing insects, and said, "Don't look at it. I can't see what it's for. Just say it. Acer you say. ”

Long Bai handed the metal box to Acer Green.

"I know."

"I know that too."

Acer continues to infuse the Force, opening the metal crate.

Red maple randomly picked a few grass seeds around, put them in a metal box, and rushed to inject the Force.

A stream of emerald green origin energy was emitted, and the black metal slowly converged, fixing the grass seeds, releasing wisps of emerald green origin energy and enveloping the grass seeds.

The red maple continues to infuse the Force, and the metal box closes completely.

Long Bai understood.

Extraterrestrial civilization creations used to store seeds.

It is equipped with a wood-based origin protection function, which can greatly extend the storage time of seeds.

Long Bai's thoughts turned sharply, and he immediately thought of the purpose of the thing: [Often, the time of the Zerg warrior's sleeping evolution is not as good as the sowing season of the life seed, so it needs to be carefully preserved. If you use this metal box, it must be foolproof.]

Great stuff!

Mo Lan is really generous, a baby with such a high practical value, give it to these two sycophants?

Long Bai asked tentatively, "Green maple, red maple, how about selling it to me?" ”

"Not for sale!"

"We don't lack rough stones!"

The green maple and the red maple were vigilant and didn't dare to show off again, so they quickly put the things back into the spider silk bag and pressed them under them.

I know you two bastards shouldn't be left here.

Long Bai turned around and asked, "When you found this metal box, it contained ......?"

Acer Acer: "The seed of an extraterrestrial civilization!" ”

Red maple: "It shatters at the slightest touch." ”

Long Bai: "......"

Long Bai's spiritual power unfolded, swept around the neighborhood, and asked:

"Mo Lan, do you have anything else to gain?"

"Whew-"

Merlan pointed to the large wreckage of the starship in the pit.

Long Bai: "......"

Long Bai jumped down into the pit to take a look.

The wreckage was made of the same material as the room partition and door, and was made of the same light, silvery-white primordial metal. With a thickness of more than 10 centimeters, it should be a layered partition of the starship.

A large piece of area.

Mo Lan: "Long Bai, can the Throne of Dominion transport it back?" ”

Long Bai: "I'm afraid it's a bit of a struggle...... What to ship back for? ”

Mo Lan: "I didn't think of it for the time being. But it might be useful later. ”

Long Bai had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he had a whim, and said:

"You can spread it on the hill and make it an open-air camp, or dig a huge restaurant in the hill and spread it in the restaurant. In the future, I will have a high level of evolution, and the Domination Throne will fly fast, and I can bring all the Zerg warriors from various Force Points to Hanlan Mountain to play. Like the rich tribes of the Ten Thousand Continents, a large gathering is held once a year where everyone gathers to chat and enjoy a variety of delicious food. ”

"Oh-" Mo Lan tilted her head in thought.

The green maple and the red maple looked at each other and cheered.

- Wow! Great!

- Dragon Cypress Ant King's idea!

- Take San!

- Bring the black rice and raspberries!

- Let's get together and play!

Mo Lan said seriously: "If you think about it, it's pretty good. That way, everyone won't be alone. ”

Long Bai: "Then it's decided first. Go back and plan in detail. ”

Long Bai returned to the throne, set up the plank, and gave the order: Heiti, you take the large worker ants down and help dig the earth!

"Okay. King. ”

Heiti led the 30 large worker ants in his entourage and marched down the throne in a procession.

Mo Lan stared intently, staring at Heiti.

"Long Bai, this worker ant ......"

"Heti. The first to discover the wreckage of a starship. ”

"Why is it a little smaller? Its aura seems to have changed, too. ”

"That's right."

Long Bai said: "In order to save transportation capacity to pick wild fruits in late autumn and return to Xianglan Mountain, I threw some worker ants, soldier ants and blue ants in Heilian Lake, and let Hei Ti command the work......

Long Bai recounted the matter in detail.

Mo Lan, Green Maple, and Red Maple were shocked, and then began to analyze the reason.

After a while.

Long Bai asked, "Mo Lan, it's been nearly half a year, have you searched Hanlan Mountain?" ”

Mo Lan: "Almost. I've searched everywhere I can. No other findings were made. ”

Mo Lan took the initiative to ask: "Have the northern herbs and the fruit orchid been harvested successfully?" After being away for so long, it's time for me to go back and check them out. ”

"The harvest went smoothly. They seem to grow better in your absence. ”

Long Bai teased, and turned to look at the green maple and the red maple.

These two little guys have benefited, and they are obviously still a little unsatisfied and reluctant to leave.

Long Bai: "Green maple, red maple, you follow me to visit Sang in Crimson Mountain." There it evolves 8 instars. Starting next year, you'll have to try to survive on your own. ”

Long Bai: "As soon as Mo Lan woke up, she survived alone in Xianglan Mountain. I also came to the Cloud Trace Continent at the age of 4 and made a living in the wild. ”

The green maple tentacles drooped and said, "Got it." ”

Red Maple: "Thank you. ”

……

The Molan, green maple, and red maple follow the ant colony to dig and load the soil.

The dragon cypress controls the Throne Lifting.

After 5 days of busy work, in the end, Long Bai and Mo Lan worked together to pull the wreckage out.

The whole is square, seven or eight meters wide, and a large fragment with a length of more than ten meters.

It's so light that the dragon can move with a single forefoot.

Throw it on the hillside first, and then turn around and deal with it.

Simply pack up and set off, and let's go to Scarlet Light Mountain together.
