Chapter 509: Exploration in the Western Seas: Water Ant Country?
Long Bai, who lives in the country of purple linden, began to cultivate lord-level specialized blue soldiers, and used several prosperity and tranquility abilities to help the purple locust grow, and in autumn, the god-given seeds were successfully harvested.
……
After Long Bai and Mo Lan dealt with the affairs of the Cloud Trace Continent, they set off on time in early winter and infiltrated the Wang Lan Continent.
Following the advice of the Sento Sacred Tree, the throne of Domination shrunk, hid in his mouth, and flew away.
Go around and avoid the island of Xiangsi.
Approach cautiously, land on Rocking Leaf Island, check the growth status of the seed given by the Rocking Leaf Iron Heart Wood God, cut off the fruits on the tree, and continue to rest the flowers and fruits.
Melan searched the island, but found nothing.
And then we set off,
Quietly approaching the Thousand Reefs.
It is still hidden in the deep sea during the day, and it moves at night, starting from the 400-square-kilometer island.
Search for Merandon Island.
The dragon cypress hides on the coast and waits.
It took two nights to quickly complete the search for the largest island, and there was no gain.
This is followed by a large island with an area of 150 square kilometers, followed by a large number of small islands with an area of more than 10 square kilometers......
This year, we were lucky enough to have no accidents and spent 13 days quickly completing a jungle search of about 2,500 square kilometers of the Thousand Reefs Islands.
Bad luck and nothing.
Unwillingly, I went to the Northeast Sea, and looked for four small islands offshore.
Equally fruitless.
……
The vast deep sea, isolated islands and reefs.
Long Bai caught fish from the sea, and together with Mo Lan, squeezed on the reef and sliced and ate.
"Long Bai, what should I do?"
"What to do?"
"Where to go now? You've searched all the relatively safe islands, have you returned to the Cloud Trail Continent? ”
"Let's go back. You go back to Xianglan Mountain to rest, and I will go to the Purple Linden Insect Country, seize the time to cultivate specialized blue soldiers, and complete the iteration of the Soldier Ant Legion as soon as possible. ”
"What about the Northwest Sea? Don't you want to look for it? ”
"I'm not going for now. At present, the total area of the territory we have mastered has exceeded 3,000 square kilometers, and unless we find an excellent place like the Thousand Reefs Islands, the small offshore islands will not improve us much. ”
Long Bai added: "It's not a big improvement, and it's not worth taking unknown risks." ”
"It's too~"
Mo Lan was still unwilling, and proposed:
"Long Bai, let's fly at a high altitude and go to the western waters of the main continent to see if there are any large-scale islands like the Thousand Reefs Islands in the sea."
Mo Lan also added: "Stay away from the main continent! Look for the sea more than 500 kilometers away from the main continent. ”
Long Bai shook his tentacles and decisively vetoed: "No! ”
Mo Lan: "Let's look in the sea 1,000 kilometers away from the main continent. ”
Long Bai: "......"
Long Bai was silent for a long time, and said: "Judging from the map left in the cave by the Flame Spider Kingdom, the sea area on the west side of the Wang Lan Continent is gradually narrowed from north to south. The northern temperate tropics with a width of about 2,000 to 3,000 km. For safety reasons, you can find it in the sea 1,500 kilometers away from the main continent, from north to south, and on a broken line. ”
"1500 km? So how much sea is left for us to search? ”
Mo Lan was a little speechless and said, "Long Bai, is this too cautious?" ”
"It's certainly right to be cautious."
Long Bai waved his tentacles and said, "Are you going?" If you don't go, you'll go back. ”
Mo Lan: "Go!" ”
Long Bai: "Hurry up and eat enough." ”
Mo Lan: "I'm full." ”
Long Bai: "Eat and rest, and hurry at night." ”
……
It took two nights to cross the vast sea and reach the western end of the continent under the divine power barrier.
Adjust your work and rest, fly at high altitude during the day, fold the line at a 45-degree angle, and search southward with twists and turns.
Dive into the shallow sea at night to rest.
……
Far from the main continent, in the vast deep sea, the islands become extremely scarce, and occasionally encountered, they are also small islands or small islands.
I came across a few buildings with an area of 10 square kilometers upward, but the distance was too far for it to be worth running so far to search.
Seven or eight days of continuous flight, it can be described as nothing.
The further south you go, the narrower the sea becomes.
Long Bai estimated that he was about to enter the cold temperate region, and his heart began to hover and give up, and he turned around and returned to the Cloud Trace Continent as soon as possible, but Mo Lan ......
"Dragon Cypress!"
"Strange Force Fluctuations!"
Mo Lan, who was flying in front, suddenly volleyed on his back and rolled on his side, turned around and headed north, his body accelerated in a flash, and ran straight back.
Long Bai froze, followed by a U-turn, flapping his wings and speeding up to escape.
"It's not a Zerg warrior, don't panic Long Bai."
“???”
"Force fluctuations on land."
"Land?"
"There are subtle differences in the fluctuations of the Force between continents and oceans. Moving on, it could be land or an island with a very large area. ”
Can this also be discerned by Force fluctuations?
Long Bai: "Uh-"
Long Bai: "Next time, you make it clear!" You almost scared me to death. ”
Mo Lan said calmly: "It's because you are too timid, I will warn you in case of danger." ”
Long Bai: "The brave usually die simply. ”
"Coward."
Mo Lan muttered, picking up speed again.
Flew out of a distance of hundreds of kilometers in one go, and then buried his head down and landed on the surface of the sea.
Mo Lan: "Long Bai, do you want to get closer to check the situation?" ”
Long Bai: "The map left by the Flame Spider Kingdom shows that this location is definitely not a continent, and it has been going south until the Antarctic Extreme Cold Land has no land. ”
Mo Lan: "That's Super Big Island?" ”
Long Bai: "There are no islands on the map. ”
Mo Lan said firmly: "A super large island with an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers! Bigger than the Thousand Reefs! ”
Long Bai: "The map left by the Flame Spider Kingdom does not indicate the islands, including the Thousand Reefs Islands and the Firewheel Islands. ”
Merlan: "Islands? ”
Long Bai: "I don't know. ”
Mo Lan: "How far is this from the Main Continent?" ”
Long Bai: "Only 1,200 kilometers. ”
Only?
Mo Lan: "Then you can still consider taking a closer look." The climate and temperature here are just right for the growth of our life-like plants. In the future, this may be a better choice than the Thousand Reefs. ”
Long Bai groaned slightly, nodded his tentacles, opened his mouth and spit out the throne of domination, controlled the magnification, jumped up, beckoned Mo Lan to join him, dived under the sea, and lurked.
……
Operation Dusk, deep-sea stealth departure.
In the middle of the night, I touched an island.
Long Bai activated the Soul Fixing ability, quickly sensed, and immediately stopped the ability.
Mo Lan currently only has a lord-level soul, and her sensing range is limited, Long Bai reported the situation:
"Ants! Within the sensing range, there are three ant clan nests, and a lord-level Zuo King, suspected of having a water talent? Ant colonies are divided into three body types: large, medium and small, and there is no clear distinction between soldier ants and worker ants. ”
"The island is quite large, more than 30 kilometers long, and the width is difficult to determine."
Long Bai controlled the throne to dive down 200 meters deep, along the coast, and slowly circled the island.
Gradually, the situation was figured out.
"A curved, long, narrow, irregularly shaped island no more than 10 kilometers wide, not small, more than 300 square kilometers."
"Unknown ant tribe occupied, three separate nests, a total of more than 5,000 ant colonies."
"Judging from the differentiation of numbers and body sizes, most of them are omnivorous or vegetarian ant tribes."
Long Bai shared his survey results and speculations with Mo Lan.
Mo Lan raised his claw, pointed to the southeast, and said, "It should be an archipelago, this one is just a small island on the edge, and the largest island is over there." ”
Long Bai: "Isn't it far?" ”
Mo Lan: "More than 100 kilometers, judging from the fluctuations of the Force, there are many small islands in between. ”
"That's a very large archipelago!"
Long Bai thought about it, and controlled the Throne of Dominion to sneak around, bypassing the small island, and approaching the largest island directly.
Choosing a near-shore location with enough water depth, the soul fixing ability fully expanded the sense, but the ant nest was not found.
Sneaking along the coast for 30 kilometers, and then unfolding the soul fixing ability induction, with a discovery, report to Mo Lan as soon as possible:
"About 30 kilometers offshore, I found a large nest of ant colonies, with a total number of more than 30,000. King-level, lord-level, and mountain-level ant colonies are mixed, with 4 large and small kings, and a mountain lord-level ant king. ”
"100% confirmed, this ant clan, the entire race has mutated, and they have a water talent! It should be a water-based god product that bestows elemental talents! ”
Mo Lan came to the spirit, "Water system? Divine product? I need it! ”
"Don't get excited, there's a weird ......"
Long Bai hesitated, and analyzed: "Ordinary ants, even if they are of the same race, under the command of different ant kings, the pheromones are different, and it is difficult to nest together. The ant tribe on the island is special, and they are very compatible with each other within the group. ”
Mo Lan: "Oh-"
Mo Lan: "That means that this is a huge kingdom composed of many ant kings. ”
Cypress: "Yes. ”
Long Bai: "Sneak along the coast and find out the size of this island first." ”
With that, take control of the throne and set off.
……
The faint light of the eastern sky shines through the sea and reaches the bottom of the sea.
Sneaking for more than 100 km, the coast has not yet turned in a clear direction.
Long Bai and Mo Lan were surprised, and quietly walked away, lurking and waiting.
