Chapter 469: True Leaf Cutting Ants
After running Yinbai Mountain, complete the last big deal of the autumn tour businessman.
The cold wind howled, and the heavens and the earth fell silent.
It's winter.
Mo Lan stayed in the country of purple linden insects and played stubbornly.
Long Bai went to the Ghost Fan Mountain alone, picked up the Ghost Fan, and went straight to the sea.
Accurately lock the position, and pass through the underwater starship passage with ease, and enter the cave at the end of the Molan Continent.
The Ghost Fan swept its tentacles through the cracks of the gate, reversing the 'Golden Pattern' ability to destroy the enhancements left by the Ancient Flame Spider.
Then, using the metal decay ability, the metal that has lost its strength will be turned into fine grains of sand, which can be directly devoured and transformed into 'metal armor'.
Evolve the lord level, the ability has been greatly improved, and the efficiency is much higher than when the mountain lord level.
But after all, it is fighting against the power left by the Insect King, and it can only be consumed little by little, and it consumes the Force extraordinarily.
After being busy for a while, the ghost fan is about to jump on the throne of domination to recover the consumption.
Long Bai took advantage of the rest of the ghost fan to lie down in front of the crack of the door and unfold the soul fixing ability sense.
Much like the last time I saw it, a small colony marched by every day or two.
Occasionally, they may stay within the sensing range, going up and down the trees to be busy, and usually stay for a short time before leaving.
Through the unremitting efforts of the ghost fan, the width of the gap is expanding day by day, and the sensing range is also expanding.
Soon a semicircular sensing range with a radius of more than 10 kilometers towards the south was formed.
In this range, it is easy to observe the activity of the ant colony.
No nest splitting was found, it came from a distance.
They are also plots that divide the forest land into patches.
Then, very regularly, go into the various plots, go up and down the trees to pick the fruit.
The cypress continued to observe for a month, and found that they had visited the same plot twice, and the same tree, they had picked up and down twice.
All plots are picked in turn.
Keep watching,
Another month passed.
They visited the same plot twice with the same frequency, in a month's time.
Go up and down the tree, pick 2 times.
All plots are rotated regularly.
What fruit can be picked twice in a month and last for two months?
In the inheritance memory, there is absolutely no such high-yielding plant in the natural astral boundary.
A large number of small and medium-sized ants go up and down the trees, and it is impossible to hunt and kill insects.
But
What's that doing?
One should think about what's in the tree.
What else is there on the tree besides leaves?
There are only leaves on the trees.
Long Bai observed and thought for a long time before he suddenly figured out that the ant kingdom on the opposite side might be feeding on leaves.
Certainly not termites.
Then there is only one possibility: the true leaf ant
A special species of ants that are highly similar to termites and can awaken wood and earth talents. They grow mycelium from leaves and feed on the mycelium.
As recorded in the memory of inheritance, a strong branch of the ant clan.
Like the giant ant, it has five types of body type differentiation: specialized, large, medium, small and micro, and is good at cultivation and management.
They have almost no food restrictions, and their population is huge, which can reach millions, tens of millions.
The Cloud Trace Continent, the Ten Thousand Race Continent, and the Ten Thousand Nations Continent, which are ruled by the Ant Clan and the Bee Clan, do not have this kind of ant.
It turned out that it was not extinct.
It turned out to be living in the southern hemisphere.
Long Bai told his guess and discussed it with the ghost fan.
The ghost fan also believes that the opposite side is a certain leaf-cutting ant clan.
And it is certain that many of the animals and plants that have been recorded but never seen in the inherited memory should live in the southern hemisphere.
……
It took two months for the ghost fan to complete the cleaning of all the cracks in the entire gate.
The door is unsealed,
But behind the door, there is also a stone wall that has been strengthened by the powerful Spider King of the Flame Spider tribe with the ability of the earth system.
The door can't be opened, and it needs to evolve the lord level of white rice and destroy it with the ability of the earth system.
"Long Bai, shall we go back?"
Onifan asked.
Long Bai said: "The door gap is too narrow and inconvenient to operate. Ghost fan, is the metal of the gate completely unshakable? ”
Ghost Fan: "It can be shaken." But a hundred times more difficult than a crack in a door. The gate is made of an alloy that is already very strong, and it is even stronger, so I can only destroy it little by little. ”
Long Bai: "Oh-"
Long Bai: "How long does it take to dig a hole in the crack of the door with a diameter of four or five centimeters?" ”
Ghost Fan: "I'm afraid it will take half a year." ”
Long Bai: "......"
Ghost fan: "I can work more overtime, maybe four or five months to penetrate." ”
Long Bai shook his tentacles, "Let's stop first." Let's come back next winter and dig it out. ”
Ghost Fan pointed to the crack between the two gates and asked, "The hole in the middle is so that Bai Fan can exert his ability and dig out the rocks inside?" ”
Cypress: "Yes. ”
Ghost fan: "Long Bai, the stone wall opposite is harder than metal. You should bring rice and see if it works. In case it is said that Bai Rice has evolved to the lord level, its ability will not be able to shake the stone wall......"
Then you can only wait a few more years and spend resources to help Bai Fan evolve again.
Cypress: "That's exactly what I mean. ”
Long Bai beckoned: "Ghost fan, let's go, I'll send you back to the mountain." ”
……
Send the ghost fan back to the ghost fan mountain, turn to Baifan Mountain, pick up the rice, and come to the cave of the Molan continent again.
Bai Fan turned around in a circle to look at the murals around him, tilted his head vigorously, and his eyes were fixed on the map of the Dome Continent, which was inexplicably shocked.
"Rice?"
"The world is so big!"
“…… Oh, yes. ”
"There must be a lot of plants in the southern hemisphere that we don't have in the northern hemisphere, right?"
“…… Sure. ”
"Great."
Bai Fan retracted his gaze and ran close to the stone wall, his eyes shining brightly, and looked at the mural.
At some point, Rice also became keen to collect various plants.
After the main level of Baifan Evolution Mountain and the awakening of the earth-based ability, it took advantage of its ability and talent to intermittently complete the reclamation of Baifan Mountain.
The management of plants has expanded from rice trees to a variety of easy-to-grow plants.
"Long Bai, is this an ivory coconut?"
Bai Fan raised his paw and pointed to a plant in the mural on the heights.
"Like."
Long Bai has seen the murals for a long time, mainly to record the daily activities of the production and operation of the Flame Spider Kingdom and the trade of traveling merchants, and there is nothing particularly noteworthy.
Long Bai raised his paw and pointed to the gate and said, "Rice, try it first?" ”
"What two big spiders!"
"How much metal is used for this door? The cost is not low! ”
"I'll try ......"
Bai Fan looked at the spider-shaped relief on the door, sighed, and stepped forward quickly.
Sensing it through the crack in the door for a while, he raised his claw and tried it, but he condensed the tip of his claw and hit it.
"No......"
Bai Fan was not reconciled, so he changed to a more flexible tentacle, and the original energy gathered, and then hit through the crack in the door.
"Not right now......"
Bai Fan groaned, pondered, and said slowly: "The plugging is made of special sediment, which is stronger than any rock after solidifying with the ability of the soil system. The ability of the soil system used for curing is also not ordinary, and it is extremely difficult to reverse. ”
Bai Fan: "I definitely can't do it at the Mountain Lord level, and I can only grind slowly and destroy it little by little." ”
Cypress: "How long will it take?" ”
Bai Fan: "Then I won't know until I try it after I evolve to the lord level." It will definitely be time-consuming. It's hard to do. ”
- Okay.
Long Bai tapped his tentacles, "Rice, let's rest here for two days and leave in two days." I'll go to the Purple Linden Insect Country to find the Citi Tree and help you get a grant. ”
Bai Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you for the dragon cypress ant king first!" ”
Bai Fan added, "I'll just look at these murals at random. Dragon cypress ant king, if you are not tired, let's rest for a day. ”
……
Leave after a day.
Long Bai sent the rice back to the mountain, turned around and went straight to the country of purple lindens.
Mo Lan was keenly aware of the fluctuations of the Force and greeted him.
"Long Bai, how's it going?"
"The ghost fan has successfully removed the metal that blocked the crack in the door."
"Anything new?"
"A little ......"
The throne of domination descends vertically under the Tree of the Gods.
Lin Nan, Zilin, and Yexiang's spiritual power came over together.
Lin Nan Shenshu: "Little ant, the door is open?" ”
Cypress: "It's coming. ”
"Soon?"
Lin Nan Shenshu was furious, "I can see it a long time ago, you are all waste!" It took so many rough stones, a simple door, and it hasn't opened yet! ”
Long Bai ignored it, raised his head and said: "Citi Divine Tree, the ghost fan has cleaned up all the metal that blocked the crack of the door, and the door can be moved, just wait for the Lord of Baifan Mountain to evolve the lord, and then dig up the stone wall that blocks the door little by little." ”
Citi Tree: "Well done! ”
Long Bai: "I brought rice over and tried it, and with the strength of its current 'soil improvement' ability, it is completely unshakable. I'm worried that it won't work after the Evolution Lord level......"
Just then, Huang Yan noticed the movement and ran over.
Citi Divine Tree: "Then arrange another 1 million primordial stones of God-given Force food for white rice, Huang Yak, you keep the account." ”
Huang Yan: "...... Noted down. ”
Long Bai: "Another new discovery, according to my observation for two months, it should be a leafcutter ant kingdom opposite......"
"Leafcutter Ant Kingdom?"
"What kind of ant is a leafcutter ant?"
The Lin Nan Divine Tree and the Seed of the Night Incense God asked at the same time.
"A special ant family that cuts plant leaves to cultivate mycelium and feeds on the mycelium. It's highly similar to my giant head ant tribe, and everyone is still a little related......"
Lin Nanshenshu: "That's okay, that shouldn't be a threat to our plans." ”
Long Bai: "......"
Citi Tree: "Get down to business." In any case, at the lord level, try to avoid contact between the ant clan and the flame spider tribe on the Molan Continent. According to the plan I said, after the door is opened, dig a tunnel that leads to the depths of the sea, and first dive into the Molan continent from the deep sea, try to figure out the situation of the continent there, and then make further plans. ”
Cypress: "I understand. ”
Citi Sacred Tree: "There is too little information, and I don't have anything else to say for the time being." ”
Long Bai: "I'll go see the barberry ......"
Lin Nan Shenshu said in a rare and serious tone: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, I would like to give you a suggestion, or don't use that Zuo King named Spade to lead the ant army to protect the seed given by the White Barberry God. ”
Lin Nan Shenshu: "It's nothing." ”
Lin Nan Shenshu is very keen on training Zerg warriors, and so far, there are only two insects it is unwilling to teach, a raspberry and a spade.
Raspberry fakes his death if he doesn't agree with him.
There are many spades, today is a stomachache, tomorrow is a broken leg, the day after tomorrow is cloudy and stuffy and tired, and the day after tomorrow is windy and rainy and easy to break the legs......
In short, they are unwilling to endure hardships and suffering.
Long Bai: "...... Forget it, spades are spoiled. I'll come back with Kuroba. (End of chapter)
