Chapter 181: Hongnan Mountain Ant Nest

To the north of the hill at the entrance to the wreckage of the starship, the middle and lower levels of a mountain peak with a height of two or three hundred meters.

Long Bai stood in front of a cliff, looked at the mouth of the ant's nest, turned his head and looked at the Nan tree that was submerged by climbing vines and killed by himself in his early years, and was full of emotion.

"When I first set foot on the Cloud Trail Continent, I built my first ant nest here and lived alone for a year. At that time, I was only a 4th instar junior ant king, and my body length was only 4 centimeters......

"The king is amazing!" The juniper, who had just been beaten, hurriedly served his ass.

Syllable! Syllable!

The dragon cypress waved its tentacles, and two more whips were whipped on the juniper's head.

What's going on? I lived in fear all day long.

Isn't it good to listen to stories quietly?

Long Bai suddenly lost interest in continuing to speak, and his tentacles pointed and said:

"Let's open a nest here, the entrance of the cave is facing the exit of the starship wreck in front, condescending, good combat position. Later, when he went north to hunt, he took this place as the central stronghold, and the giant cypress led some soldier ants and blue ants to station. Juniper led some of the soldier ants to radiate around, marched to hunt for food, and then sent them back for centralized processing."

Cypress: "Understood, King."

Juniper subconsciously wanted to ask a question, but after thinking about it carefully, he said, "...... Understood."

Seeing that Jubai looked a little worried, Long Bai explained, "Jubai, you and Juniper are about to evolve into a high-level level, and the Kingdom Soldier Ants are also beginning to form a scale, so don't be too afraid. On the side of the Wanguo Continent, those who can beat us can't get by, and those who can pass through the gap in the starship will only be at the advanced level of the sky, and they may not be able to beat us."

Got it!

Juniper and giant cypress point their tentacles.

Long Bai's spiritual power swept over, and found that there was a nest of ordinary poly-patterned fierce ants nearby, and his mind quickly turned twice, adding:

"If you find a giant ant...... It is best to avoid the outbreak of conflict. Look at the opponent's reaction first, and if the opponent takes the initiative to attack, you can counterattack. If the other party doesn't take the initiative to attack, don't provoke it, notify me in time, and I'll deal with it."

Long Bai pointed to the nest of ordinary poly-patterned fierce ants not far away, and said, "It's that kind of ant, poly-patterned fierce ants, you can identify them carefully."

Juniper asked, "Great King, because the one who lives next door is the Ant King of the Giant Ant Clan?" It might send its own descendants to our side?"

Cypress: "That's right—"

Long Bai paused and said, "For more than ten years, I have traded with the Falling Quinoa and the Seven Leaf Caravan every year, and the other caravans are not blind, haven't they found out? The Ant King is not even blind, hasn't it noticed? But our Xianglan Mountain has been safe and sound so far, why?"

Long Bai analyzed one by one, "The first possibility is that the Lacquer Spider King or the Grass Black Spider King has greeted the Ant King. If you say hello, you must have told me, but Fallen Quinoa and Seven Leaves have never been mentioned, so they can basically be ruled out."

"The second possibility is that the Ant King is a fierce ant with a small will to invade. It's contrary to the nature of the Ant Clan."

"The third possibility, the Ant King saw that Mo Lan and I were weak, and disdained it. This is the most likely...... If that's the case, there's no reason for us to take the initiative to provoke a lord-level ant king, it's self-defeating."

"Oh—"

"Got it—"

Juniper and giant cypress twitched their tentacles, uneasy.

Long Bai shook his tentacles and gave instructions in succession:

Blue ants rest in place

Worker ants digging into their nests

Juniper and giant cypress lead the soldiers and ants to the north to hunt, and be sure to return before the sun sets.

The mighty ant army began to move.

……

Juniper and Giant Cypress set off with 400 specialized soldier ants and 400 large soldier ants.

5 specialized soldier ants and 5 large soldier ants are a group, 5 groups are a team, divided into 16 teams, lined up in a straight line, and swept horizontally.

In the evening, they returned in a procession with their hunting.

Frogs, toads, snakes, pythons, rabbits, rats, shredded wild boars and elk, and other large animals.

The dragon cypress shakes

The tentacles command the worker ants to come forward to cut the food and hand it over to the blue ants for refining.

"King, there is so much food in this mountainous area!"

Juniper and giant cypress are in high spirits.

On this trip, he easily hunted enough food for the entire kingdom to eat for ten days.

This also means that their work will be easier in the future.

"It only takes a day or two to hunt, but it takes a year or even two for the animals we hunt to grow. The ecological balance of an area is broken, and it can take years to recover. When you hunt for food, it is better not to kill them all, but to keep some for them to multiply."

Cypress: "Got it—"

Juniper: "King, I know—"

Long Bai waved his tentacles and said, "There are a lot of Nan trees on this mountain, all of them are Hongmao Nan Nan, so let's name it "Hongnan Mountain"."

Long Bai raised his forefoot, pointed to the ant nest being excavated, and said, "This is called the 'Hongnan Mountain Ant Nest', and it will be the most important branch nest in the kingdom."

Cypress: "Eat, rest. Tomorrow morning, the two of you will continue to lead the ant colony to hunt in the north, pay attention to the terrain, familiarize yourself with the environment, and plan the march path."

"Okay!"

"Understood!"

Juniper and Giant Cypress agreed.

Rest overnight in the woodland.

Next

Juniper and giant cypress lead the soldiers and continue their hunting north.

Long Bai stayed in Hongnan Mountain, commanding worker ants and soldier ants to dig ant paths deep into the mountain.

This kind of garrison nest, which may be attacked by the enemy at any time, is built with great care.

A main antway winds its way into the interior of the mountain.

At a distance of four or five meters from the entrance of the nest, three main passages are opened, to the left, to the right, and downward.

On weekdays, the soldiers stationed in the nest will stay in the nest and are scattered in 4 areas.

Once invaded, the attacking ants do not understand the internal route and distribution of the nest, and will definitely not dare to disperse. If there is no precise command from the command ant, most of them will instinctively rush forward to kill, or kill the first fork in the road. No matter which one or two main ant paths you take, they will be cut off by the soldiers who rush out of the other two main ant paths, and they will be encircled and suppressed.

This is a nesting model for the exclusive ant clan recorded in the inheritance of the gods of nature.

In general, the internal structure is more intricate, with ant tunnels connecting the four areas.

The construction is flexible according to the topography and geological environment. Any ant tribe to attack, do not know the path of the ant nest, rash intrusion will definitely suffer.

It took five days before and after, and the ant nest of Hongnan Mountain was preliminarily completed.

Juniper and giant cypress led the soldiers to sweep and hunt, and also filled the bellies of 100 specialized blue ants, enough to feed the kingdom for two months.

Long Bai returned to Xianglan Mountain, controlled the round-trip transportation of the Throne of Domination, and transported the specialized blue ants back.

Juniper and giant cypress lead the ant colony back to Xianglan Mountain.

Take a break to adjust for the day.

Long Bai beckoned to Juniper and Giant Cypress, set off again, and marched south of the mountain range.

Forty or fifty kilometers to the south, find a suitable mountain peak, name it "Red Banyan Mountain", open up a nest, and name it "Red Banyan Mountain Ant Nest", as a station for the ant country to hunt far south.

In summer, to the north, the ant army is stationed in the ant nest of Hongnan Mountain and carries out sweeping hunting.

To the south in autumn, the ant army is stationed in the ant nest of Hongrong Mountain and carries out sweeping hunting.

Long Bai estimates that the number of advanced specialized ants is less than 5,000, and there will be no more food shortages.

As the ant kingdom continues to develop, it needs to expand further and send troops to stay there.
