Chapter 364: No Betrayal
The good news of the victory of the expedition to the termite kingdom was transmitted back to Xianglan Mountain, and the whole country rejoiced.
However, there are too many aftermath events to celebrate.
The giant cypress and juniper stayed, and with them in charge of the kingdom guards, Long Bai dared to rest assured.
Send the green maple back to Kiwi Mountain.
Send black rice back to Baifan Mountain, bring the good news to the red fox, and harvest this year's god-given rice fruit by the way.
Go to Crimson Mountain and Ghost Fan Mountain, and inform Hammer and Raspberry of the message, respectively.
The nut helped weave a large number of medium-sized spider silk bags and took them away.
Go to Nansour Zao Mountain and harvest the red cypress seeds given by the gods.
Finally, send Heiti back to Black Lotus Lake.
Long Bai checked the business status of various territories, confirmed that it was correct, took the black leaves, and rushed straight to the Purple Linden Insect Country non-stop.
β¦β¦
The cold wind from the farther north blew unhurriedly.
The blue sky hung with wisps of white clouds, drifting with the wind.
Bai Liu didn't know where he was or what he was doing, but he found the throne and galloped up to meet him.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King! This command ant is ......"
"Black leaves. You've seen it. β
"Oh. Yes. β
"White Willow!" Kuroji has a lively personality and shakes his tentacles to greet the white willow.
The white willow flipped on his back in the air, his figure flickered, and he stopped at the top of the throne's backrest, and the topic changed and asked, "Where is Heiti?" β
Long Bai: "I arranged for it to go back to Black Lotus Lake." Your life is very good, that is, your orchard, many of which are overwhelmed by weeds, and many of which have died. I will compensate you for the rough stones. β
"Oh-"
The white willow flapped its wings and took off, circled around, and flew slowly parallel to the throne, and asked, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, when can I go back to Black Lotus Lake?" β
Long Bai: "It's getting colder by the day. Perhaps, in ten and a half days, the water will freeze, and I will send you back. β
Long Bai asked, "Has the palace been renovated?" β
Bai Liu reported: "It's done. White rice is transforming the nest, and Mo Lan, Ghost Fan, Spruce, Mulberry, and Red Maple are helping, and according to your requirements, all of them will be changed into domes. Cedar and Cypress lead the colony to dig a ditch. The barley worm warriors' plants are ripe for harvest, and they are all returning to their territory. β
Bai Liu: "This morning, the three mountain lords of Ronghua, Shanjing, and Chongpu also came to the kingdom to ask when they could trade. β
Long Bai waved his tentacles and pointed, "I went back to Xianglan Mountain this time and gathered a batch of Force ant honey suitable for the barley insect warriors, but the quantity may not be enough. Bai Liu, you go and inform the three mountain masters, and the senior warriors will be given priority to trade. The Mountain Lord-level warriors will not be able to trade until next spring, when I trade with the Flame Spider Caravan to replenish the goods. β
"Okayβ"
The white willow flashed and widened the distance, and a few flickering turned into black dots and disappeared.
The dragon cypress controlled the throne to climb high in the air, accelerated its flight, and quickly locked on to the position of the working ant colony, and fell down.
"Cedar! Cypress! β
Kuroji waved his tentacles in greeting.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"
"Kuroba!"
Cedar and Cypress trotted up to meet them, surrounded by soldier ants.
Long Bai carried the black leaves to the ground, and said directly to the business, "Cuibai, you bring more soldier ants, lead the black leaves, and familiarize yourself with the environment first." Then, the black leaf directs the worker ants to dig the demarcation canal, and Cuibai directs the worker ants to cooperate on the side. β
Cypress: "Yes, King. β
"Yes, King." Black Leaf trotted, quickly climbed up the back armor of a mountain master-level soldier ant, instructed it to move, and stood next to Cuibai.
Long Bai continued: "Xiangbai, while the weather is not cold enough to freeze, you first open up a few nurseries, and sow the seeds of the large-fruited juniper, silver cypress and azure persimmon next year, and start raising seedlings. β
"The central area of the purple linden insect country has a high concentration of force, the land is precious, and the original barberry trees of various colors, each of which can be left with a few hundred or so, and all the others are eradicated, and the more promising silver cypress and azure persimmon trees are sown instead. Other cypress and persimmon trees, depending on the situation, are sown in small quantities. β
Cedar: "Understood, King! β
Long Bai: "Another point, here, the specialized blue soldiers are the main combat force of our ant country. But the Blues are highly dependent on water for combat...... Therefore, it is necessary to dig more ponds in the woodland, one for irrigation and the other for fighting. β
Long Bai: "The pool doesn't need to be dug too big, three meters long on one side, four meters is enough, dig deeper, four or five meters deep, I will ask the lord of Baifan Mountain to strengthen it with soil ability." β
Cedar: "Yes, King! When does it start? There are not enough workers ......"
Long Bai: "Heiye is familiar with the environment first, and then we will talk about it in two days." There are still some worker ants left in the nest on Hulan Mountain, and I made two trips to transport them over for emergency. β
Cedar: "Got it, King. β
Long Bai: "We occupy about 350 square kilometers of land in the Purple Linden Insect Country, which is more than the other Force Lands combined. The termite kingdom has been operating here for more than 100 years, and in most of the areas, the large trees planted are good in themselves, and there is no need to replace them......"
Long Bai was talking about something, when he suddenly realized something, activated his soul fixing ability, locked Mo Lan's location, and established a connection.
Mo Lan: "King, everyone is worried about their territory. β
Long Bai: "Let them rest assured, the territory is all right." β
Mo Lan: "What about my chestnut bean god-given seed?" Have you been to see it? β
Long Bai: "The height of the tree is over 35 meters. β
Mo Lan: "What about the seed given by the god of Xuelan?" β
Long Bai: "This year's harvest is quite abundant, and the average annual income can reach 15,000 rough stones. β
The seed of the Shenzhi of Xuelan is a five-fold divide, and the yield is okay.
However, the God-given Snow Orchid Seeds are also a comprehensive wood-based ability enhancement, and the quality is average, so they can't be sold at a high price.
Mo Lan: "Okay~"
Soul fixing ability exchange is interrupted.
Mo Lan galloped over.
Spruce is a close second.
White rice, ghost fan, mulberry, and red maple also ran over.
Everyone is mainly concerned about the status of their territory, and Long Bai will inform them in detail one by one, and then arrange the follow-up work.
Long Bai: "After the renovation of the ant nest is completed, everyone will help dig a few more days of canals, and first dig out the canals that divide the common territory of the barley insect tribe, and complete the reinforcement as soon as possible. β
"Okay."
"No problem."
The insects agreed.
Long Bai: "When you're done, it's almost time. I'll send you back to the territory. β
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Oh.
The insects agreed.
Bai Fan asked, "Can't you work in the winter in the north?" β
Cypress: "Yes. In the northern winter, the water can be frozen into ice, and even the northern insects have to retreat in caves to rest. β
Long Bai: "There are forty or fifty more barley worm warriors at once, and there are not enough metal cans for the trade of the traveling merchants within the Cloud Trace Continent. Rice, ghost fan, you go back to the territory to rest for a few days, and then go to the Jianlan Plain, where there is a big river, you can pan for sand by the river, collect metal gravel, and then cooperate with the Lang to make metal cans together. β
Long Bai: "Let's make a batch of small jars first, with the same specifications as the Flame Spider Wanderer, and get the bluegrass pattern and the logos of the giant ant and the flower mantis warrior." I bought it at a high price of 50 rough stones/piece. β
Bai Fan was silent, waved his tentacles, and said excitedly: "No problem! β
The ghost fan agreed, "Okay." β
Long Bai: "The issue of income distribution...... I shouldn't care, but I'll give you some advice, make a jar, rice and a ghost fan, and you will each take 20 rough stones, and you will take 10 rough stones. β
Rice: "...... Good. β
Bai Fan asked, "Is the riverside metal gravel content high in the Jianlan Plain?" How many can you do in a day? β
Long Bai: "I went to check it out, the content is very high, you and the ghost fan cooperate, it is absolutely no problem to dig up the sand and make four or five metal cans a day, and it is worth earning two or three thousand rough stones a month." β
Long Bai: "The small cans used by the traveling merchants for trade, make 500 first." Also, as I said earlier, the large square metal cans are in demand for 400 pieces. It needs to wait for the advanced warrior to evolve and remake, and the price can be given to a sky-high price of 500 original stones/piece. However, large metal cans are not urgently used, and in the next few years, in the winter leisure, you can go to the Jianlan Plain to dig slowly, which is a good project to increase income. β
"Okay!"
Bai Rice's tone was brisk, and he agreed crisply.
It's very realistic, as long as the reward is in place, it can do anything.
ββ¦β¦ Good. "The income of the ghost fan's territory is high enough, and it is not very motivated to work to earn rough stones.
Long Bai nodded his tentacles, turned around and said, "Everyone knows that Mo Lan has bred a sea blue tree god-given seed, and intends to sow seeds in the Southern Sour Jujube Mountain. My idea is that in the winter, Mo Lan will go and sow seeds, and then she will be there for a year. However, I also have the idea of sowing the seeds of the barberry god in the country of purple linden, and besides, it will be put into the soil as soon as the spring of next year begins, so the spruce and red maple will need the two of you to come and help for a while in the spring of next year......"
Spruce: "Okayβ"
Red maple: "Is it paid?" β
Long Bai: "Of course, on a monthly basis, I will give you 1,000 rough stones/month......"
As he spoke,
The white willow suddenly fell from the sky, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, the Lord of Velvet Flower Mountain, they are here." β
The three mountain lords of the barley insect tribe, Jingjing, Chongpu and Ronghua rushed over.
The biggest change brought about by the destruction of the termite kingdom was not only freedom and land, but also the trade of traveling merchants and the circulation of Force food.
Although the Purple Linden Insect Nation is large, it is only an island of the Force after all, and they are full of anticipation for trade.
After meeting and greeting.
Long Bai jumped onto the throne, first took down the three bundles of spider silk bags, handed them to the three barley worm mountain lords, and said:
"This is my little gift to the barley worm tribal warriors. The spider silk bag woven by the Flame Spider Warrior is waterproof and fireproof, insect-proof and moisture-proof, restraining the Force, and can extend the storage time of the Force food. The lord of Jing Mountain, the lord of Chongpu Mountain, and the lord of Ronghua Mountain, you will distribute it to the tribal warriors first. β
"Thank you, the Ant King!"
"The Dragon Cypress Ant King is generous!"
The three barley worm mountain owners thanked them.
Knowing that their primary concern was trading, Long Bai jumped on the throne, took down a large spider silk bag containing a metal can, opened it, and said:
"This is the white rice ant king honey. The main territory of Baifan Mountain, the god-given white rice fruit produced by the seeds of the white rice god is brewed. β
At the last meeting, we detailed the various god-given seeds that exist in the Cloud Trace Continent.
The introduction is the introduction, seeing the real thing with your own eyes, the three mountain owners of Jingjing, Chongpu and Ronghua still can't help but be excited.
Barley Worm Warriors are life-based talents, and the three God-given Force Foods of Rice Fruit, Black Fruit Bilberry, and Green and Red Kiwi are of great help to their growth and evolution.
Long Bai: "The god-given Force food produced within the Cloud Trace Continent must definitely give priority to satisfying our Zerg warriors in the Cloud Trace Continent. However, the production is limited, and my idea is to prioritize the supply of high-level warriors to ensure that everyone can smoothly evolve to the Mountain Master Rank. β
Mountain Lord: "This is as it should be. β
The lord of Chongpu Mountain: "The dragon cypress ant king has a point. β
Long Bai: "High-quality ordinary Force food is in sufficient supply, God gives the Force food, I arrange it according to the situation." This year is our first trade, and the high-level fighters come first. At the beginning of the spring of the next year, I will trade with the Flame Spider Wanderer, and then trade with the mountain masters. β
The three barley worm mountain lords tapped their tentacles to show their understanding.
Long Bai: "Alright, that's it. β
Long Bai: "Is the harvest over?" β
Lord of Velvet Blossom Mountain: "At present, most of the Force food harvest has been completed. β
Long Bai: "After the harvest...... When the seeds of the purple linden god are ripe and harvested, they are sent together and traded in a centralized manner. β
The three mountain lords agreed.
β¦β¦
Sending away the mountain wattles, Chongpu, and velvet flowers, Long Bai explained the next plan clearly, arranged all kinds of work properly, and flew to the territory of Wuye with Mo Lan on the throne.
Five leaves are guarding under a blood-skinned maple tree whose fruit is about to ripen.
"Five leaves!"
Mo Lan didn't wait for the throne to land, kicked his legs and took off, his body flashed, and he landed in front of Wuye.
"Lord of Moran Mountain. Dragon cypress ant king. β
Wuye Nozomi asked, "Have you started trading?" Did you come to trade in our Barley Worm Warrior Territory? β
Mo Lan: "...... No. β
Mo Lan: "That's too much trouble. β
Long Bai: "Every year, at a fixed time, everyone gathers under the Purple Lime God-given Seed Tree to trade with us. β
The throne of domination is docked steadily.
Long Bai landed on the ground with a spider silk bag, handed it to Wuye, and said, "This is the Ant King Honey worth 10,000 Primordial Stones, which is brewed from God-given Force food, which will help your evolution and growth." β
Goba: "Oh-"
Goba was a little overwhelmed.
Mo Lan said: "Attacking the termite kingdom, you have made great efforts. This is a gift from me and Long Bai to you. β
Long Bai said: "Wuye, you are not young, you need to hurry up and evolve." Every year in the future, Mo Lan and I will give you Ant King Honey worth 10,000 original stones, up to the Mountain Master level. β
Wuye: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, Lord of Molan Mountain, it should be me who thank you, it was you who rescued the Barley Worm tribe from the hateful Termite Kingdom." β
The dragon cypress shook its tentacles slightly.
Mo Lan persuaded: "Wuye, you can accept it quickly." After eating the king honey, remember to return the metal jar to us. β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
Wuye stretched out his claws to take the thing, hesitated, and said, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, I want to borrow your throne to accelerate evolution. β
Long Bai: "Of course. Approximate when? Tell me in advance. β
Wuye: "Let's start spring next year." β
Wuye explained: "I have obtained a seed given by the god of Maozi, and I want to take it into the life bag as soon as possible to conceive...... After the clan warriors consulted, they rewarded me with ......"
Mo Lan: "??? β
Long Bai: "??? β
Long Bai asked, "......What is this God-given seed?"
Wuye: "The purple linden insect country has a large area, and the way for the white barberry ant king and the ten kings to find god-given seeds is to launch the worker ants to harvest in the ripe season, gather together, and scan and screen with mental power, which is convenient and fast." β
Wuye: "So, our barley insect warriors, before the fruit is ripe and harvested, take advantage of the time when termites rest at night, and search all over the mountains. Once you find out that God has given a seed, you either destroy it or secretly collect it and hide it. β
Long Bai: "......"
Mo Lan: "......"
Long Bai and Mo Lan had long wondered how there were only two God-given seeds in the Purple Linden Insect Country with such a large area and such a good Force environment in more than a hundred years.
It turned out to be the barley worm warrior who was secretly doing the trick!
Wuye paused and continued: "But we don't dare to breed it as a life seed ourselves. This Maozi God-given seed was found four years ago and hidden. The Lord of Velvet Flower Mountain occasionally uses his healing power to renew his life, but he can't last too long, and he must conceive as soon as possible. β
Mo Lan turned his head sharply and glared at Long Bai: Didn't you say that among the three of Shanjing, Chongpu, and Ronghua, there must be traitors?
The dragon cypress is also dignified.
If there was a mountain master-level warrior in charge who secretly colluded with the Barberry Ant King, it would be impossible to organize his subordinates to do such a thing.
Did you make a mistake in your previous judgment?
That is, there is a mountain master-level barley worm warrior who pretended to give in and took refuge, confusing the barberry ant king and making him mistakenly believe that everything was under control......
Long Bai's heart is happy again.
If such things as destroying and hiding God-given seeds are revealed, these guys will all die.
Since they are all alive, it is enough to show that there are no barley worm warriors who have betrayed their tribes, which means that they are still united within themselves.
A united tribe of barley worms is even more reassuring to the insects.
On the contrary, a barley insect tribe that is suspicious of each other and hostile to each other, and fights openly and secretly, may cause trouble at any time.
Dragon Cypress: "The Throne of Domination has the miraculous function of repairing damaged God-given seeds. Wuye, you take the seeds of the Maozi God, I'll try it. β
"Good!"
Wuye ran back to the cave with the spider silk bag, and soon ran over with a gourd container and handed it to Long Bai.
Long Bai opened it, poured out a flat spherical fruit core, and the spiritual power scanned and examined, the natural force veins were dull, and the force fluctuations were weak.
If you store it for too long, your seed's original energy and life force will be depleted.
The dragon cypress jumped on the throne and placed the seed on the cushion.
Immediately in the consciousness of the soul, a message is received:
[Found natural Force plant seeds, the state is critically critical, is it cured?] γ
Dragon Cypress ChoiceγYesγ
The next moment, the blue origin energy exploded, pouring into the seed of the Mao Zi Divine Gift, which was highly condensed, converging and condensing into a blue light cocoon.
For only a short time, the dragon once again received a message from the Throne of Dominion:
γTreatment completedγ
The dying seeds are revived, and the dull Origin veins are restored.
"That's it!"
By the way, Long Bai took a small spider silk bag and stored it, handed it to Wuye, and said, "The Throne of Domination will help you evolve in the spring of next year." Incorporate it into the life bag early, sow it early, and harvest it early. β
"Thank you!"
Wuye looked stunned for a while, came back to his senses, and thanked him in surprise.
Mo Lan's eyes sparkled, and she asked, "Wuye, how many god-given seeds have you collected?" Are there any other bad ones? We'll help fix it! β
Five leaves: "...... Without. β
There are too many things to deal with after the war, and it is boring to write in detail, and it is not easy to unfold if you skip the follow-up plot briefly.
More and more, compromise.
