Chapter 667: Lobbying
ββOn the side of the Zhibai Continent, the Meran Mantis King failed to ambush the Fish Ant King.
ββThe Fish Ant King has gained many benefits and abilities through the Divine Fruit, and his strength has become invincible.
- Wind Kite Mountain was completely defeated, and the Rainbow Scarab tribe was almost wiped out.
- The Fish Ant King is very likely to return to the Wang Lan Continent.
The news spread through the army through the five leaders and the Blue Butterfly King.
The sudden change was unacceptable to all the insects, and the crowd was furious: Damn the worms! Find out! Destroy it all!
In addition to the anger, many coastal kingdoms began to worry, and they would never allow the fish ant king to kill back to the Wang Lan continent again.
Long Bai followed up and stood up, announcing that he would give up attacking Blue Island, send troops to reinforce Longmai Mountain, and personally enter the Zhibai Continent to deal with the Fish Ant King.
Long Bai led five million elites to break off, and the army that landed on the island retreated in an orderly manner.
Return to Hacalyx Island, rest and eat, reorganize the defense, and the five leaders organize to defend the island.
Long Bai gathered an army of five million and set off in a mighty way.

The blue butterfly king has a wide vein, and entered the Zhibai Continent together to be a guide for the dragon cypress.
After passing through the passage of the two realms, the vortex beast entered the sea, and Cui Bai and Silver Bai led the specialized blue soldiers out of the water and marched in formation on the sea.
The Blue Butterfly King flew at a low altitude and asked, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, where are you going now?" Golden Creek, the Sacred Butterfly Clan? β
"Of course we have to visit Golden Creek. However, before that, there is one more important thing to do, and I will explain it to you first......"
Long Bai shook his tentacles and gave orders, and the running ant army slowed down.
Yin Bai comprehended, his spiritual power scanned the water, activated his water control ability, and dragged a sea fish out of the water and trapped it in a water ball.
"Blue Butterfly King, pay attention, this is the most powerful ability that our Hongdao Ant Kingdom has mastered."
The silver cypress prompted, the divine pattern lit up slightly, the transparent water ball instantly turned blue, the water flow rotated rapidly, whitened, and constantly compressed, and finally condensed into a milky white crystal bead with a diameter of 1 centimeter.
Long Bai explained: "An ability similar to the 'devouring' nature of the sea beast's devouring ability, but the purpose is completely different, I named it 'refining', refining and removing impurities, retaining only the energy and nutrients needed by the zerg, compressing and condensing into a dry solid bead form, which is resistant to storage and easy to transport. β
"Refine!"
The Blue Butterfly King immediately thought of what this ability meant to the ant clan and the bee clan, and was speechless in shock.
Long Bai continued, "The Edelweiss Spider King and I began plotting to destroy the Blue Island a hundred and fifty years ago. I started preparing 100 years ago, and I regularly went out to sea every year to catch fish, refine and make these beads, seal them, and store them frozen. The original plan was to increase the scale of fishing in the vicinity after occupying the Thousand Reefs Islands, and stock up for another 50 to 100 years to stock up on enough food for an outbreak of more than 200 million troops at a time, and then start implementing the plan. But with a series of changes and the current situation, the plan had to be advanced. β
"It's easy to capture Blue Island, but it's probably more difficult to capture the Bafang Continent than everyone currently knows, and I'm afraid that 100 million troops will not be enough. And the food I hoarded was only enough to break out about 80 million troops at one time, and there was not enough food to sustain the survival of these 80 million troops. β
"The way I came up with was to do my best to obtain food and store it in both the Wang Lan Continent and the Zhibai Continent at the same time. While fishing in the ocean, the output of the vast land should also be fully utilized. β
"In the Zhibai Continent, where Zerg warriors live, there are many wildernesses that are operated without insects, and beasts are rampant. You can mobilize a group of tribal warriors to go into the jungle to hunt in winter, and it is also a very considerable income to gather together. β
Long Bai: "The main purpose of my entry into the Zhibai Continent this time is to ask some of the major tribes to cooperate and help collect food. The second is to sell the quota for the use of the scepter of the god of the sea to the rich clans,"
Long Bai: "Not surprisingly, the army of the Eagle Bee Kingdom was blocked on this side of the Zhibai Continent, and it is still stationed in the temporary hive at the confluence of the Yajiang River and the Puwei River. β
"Let's go to Wind Kite Mountain first and discuss with King Yellow Thorn Zuo. The various tribes of the Zhibai Continent helped hunt food, and the army of eagles and bees transported it by air, gathered together, and refined by my ant colony. β
Blue Butterfly King: "I roughly understand what you mean......"
The Blue Butterfly King exclaimed, "Great Leader of the Dragon Cypress, before the war began, even if you got to this point, you thought of using eagle bees to transport food?" β
"There is this idea. However, I didn't expect the war to go so smoothly, killing the four-headed beast of the Blue Island in one go. β
Long Bai beckoned, "Let's go." Let's go to Wind Kite Mountain first. I need to know, how much of the Eagle Bee army is left in the battle with the Fish Ant King? If it's not enough, either urgently replenish a batch, or introduce a second Shanfei Bee Clan to help the Zhibai Continent. It's important to get things done this winter. β
Blue Butterfly King: "Good! β
β¦
β¦
Yellow Thorn is the smartest king under the command of the Yellow Vine Bee King, and when he found that the passage between the two realms was closed, he immediately understood his intentions and led the army back to the Jiangkou to temporarily divide the nest and wait quietly.
In the air, the green heart on duty fell rapidly, and the concussive spiritual power shouted: "Vortex beast! The Dragon Cypress Ant King is here! β
On the riverside, Caigang and Zi, who were bored to catch fish and play, jumped up and quickly rose into the air.
The four kings of Yellow Thorn, Yellow Heart, Yellow Leaf, and Jute also rushed out of the hive.
In the distance, at the mouth of the Yahe River, a clear stream was vaguely seen, and a holy butterfly warrior flew in the air against the current.
"The Blue Butterfly King is also here!"
Purple flew out and greeted him.
Greenhearts followed.
Cai Gang was about to catch up, but was stopped by Huang Thorn, "Cai Gang! You go and inform the three leaders of Luoyu, Tutan, and Sanbai......"
Cai Gang didn't react, and an acceleration rushed out of the range of mental power.
Yellow Thorn: "......"
Jute said helplessly: "I'll go." β
β¦
The vortex is docked at the entrance to the Ya River.
Cui Bai and Yin Bai led the ant army to land, and settled in the temporary nest built by the warriors of various tribes to deal with the fish and ant king, hunting for food and resting.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"
"Grand Leader of the Dragon Cypress!"
"The Blue Butterfly King!"
Greenheart, Purple, and Cai just arrived first, and Yellow Thorn and his party followed closely and greeted each other.
Zi asked with great interest: "The Great Leader of Long Bai, the Blue Butterfly King, is it necessary to wait for two years, and then launch a full-scale attack after the end of the expedition year, capture Blue Island, and besiege the Bafang Continent." β
Long Bai: "Purple, you've become smarter. β
"Ants, don't underestimate the worm!"
Zi Yan Feng turned around, and then asked: "Great Leader Long Bai, we worked together to successfully kill the Fish Ant King, and you promised me 100 million original stones and a divine fruit beforehand, don't you regret it?" β
Long Bai: "...... Of course. β
Greenheart asked shyly, "What about me?" β
Long Bai: "Same. β
Caigang asked, "What about me?" β
Long Bai: "Doesn't your Eagle Bee Kingdom have a great bounty?" β
Cai Gang: "...... Yes. β
The Blue Butterfly King flapped his wings to drive away, and urged: "On our trip, we have important things to deal with, so let's go to the Wind Kite Mountain to visit the King of the Feather Armor first." β
Cai Gang: "Jute has informed the three leaders of Wind Kite Mountain." The king of the blue butterfly, the leader of the dragon cypress, I know the place well, I will show you the way......"
β¦
The lush rainforest, which was once as far as the eye can see, has been burned into a black plain by the flames of war.
In the distance is a low mountain range, and behind the mountain is the boundary of the 'Wind Kite Mountain'.
The three leaders of the Rainbow Scarab Clan, led four or five hundred people, ran over the mountain range to meet them.
It was another lengthy greeting, introduction, and polite greeting......
The three leaders led the way, leading the dragon cypress and the blue butterfly king into the Wind Kite Mountain, and came to their landmark plant, the Wind Kite God's Seed Tree, to entertain the guests with the highest standards of the tribe.
After a while of small talk,
The king of the earth altar knew that there was an important matter to discuss, and he withdrew irrelevant insects.
Long Bai first briefly recounted his plan to attack Blue Island and besiege Bafang Continent two years later.
Then he talks about the preliminarily agreed method of disposing of the scepter of the god of the sea.
"Permanent? Purchase? β
King Chi of the Falling Feather Armor asked, "According to the price of the original stone, how much does it cost?" β
Long Bai: "There is no price set for the time being. Probably, around 500 million. After you need to get the scepter of the god of the sea, open the actual measurement, and first figure out how many Zerg warriors can hold the perception ability at most each time you open it. β
"With a large capacity, the price is cheaper, and there are more places for sale. On the contrary, if the capacity is small, the price is expensive, and the number of places is also small. β
The king added: "The previous donations are also counted, going back two hundred years to calculate the amount. β
"King of the Falling Feather Armor, war fundraising, you Scarab Beetles have always been one of the most active tribes in the Zhibai Continent. Resources donated over the last 200 years count and interest is calculated at 2 per cent per annum. We have calculated that there are already close to 300 million donations from Feng Kite Mountain, and when we look back, we may make up a little bit appropriately to get a place. β
- What you donated in the past is counted?
- Interest?
The three leaders were surprised, stunned, and surprised.
The King of Luoyu Jia praised loudly: "The great leader of the dragon cypress is thoughtful, fair and upright, and convincing to the insects!" Yes! This amount, we book one in Fengyuan Mountain, go back, how much you need to make up, you just report the number. β
"Good!"
Long Bai continued, "The matter of the 'permanent quota' still needs the cooperation of the Flame Spider Wanderer. The most important point is to distribute the 'Poseidon Letter Scroll'. The Flame Spider Tribe, each generation, invites a Spider King with the highest prestige to issue it on his behalf. For example, the richest edelweiss with the highest prestige in contemporary times. β
"Approximate pattern, in the future, every 10 or 20 years before the opening of the scepter of the god of the sea, the Edelweiss Spider King weaves a letter scroll with a special pattern, marked with an anti-counterfeiting mark, and sends it to every tribe."
"But on the side of the United Kingdom of Boshuwan on the Wang Lan Continent, I only recognize the 'Seagod Letter Scroll', not the worm. Participate in the use of the Scepter of the God of the Sea with the Letter Scroll. Therefore, every time you get a letter, you can use it for your own use or trade it to other tribes. β
"At present, it is known that as long as the water system talent is awakened, the two abilities of sea soul and tsunami are stable comprehension, and there is a certain chance of comprehending sea beasts devouring, or even sucking. The Poseidon letter scroll can be regarded as a god fruit, priced at 20 million rough stones/sheet, not too much, right? β
"This is equivalent to a large investment, if the quota is sold at a price of 500 million, it will return to its capital in 750 years, and it will be profitable. Contemporary insects are tight, suffer a little, and later generations of ten generations and dozens of generations of insects sit in the shade. β
Those present, the eagle bee Zuo Wang, Cai Gang, Purple, and Green Heart were moved when they heard it.
Cai Gang complained: "As soon as this news comes out, it is conceivable that the price of the divine fruit that gives the water system talent will rise to the sky. β
Purple and Green Heart were overjoyed, and their high-spirited antennae were silent.
"The Poseidon Scroll can be traded and circulated, this is a brilliant idea!"
"As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was the idea of the Grand Leader of the Dragon Cypress!"
"The Great Leader of the Dragon Cypress is a worm with great wisdom!"
The three leaders of Luoyu, Sanbai, and Tutan were overjoyed when they heard it, and they were sought after for a while.
Luo Yu asked tentatively, "Grand Leader of Long Bai, the permanent trading quota can be purchased by giving resources?" β
Long Bai shook his tentacles and said, "Of course not. We sold the Sea God Scepter for permanent use, not only to raise war funds, but also to disperse the power. Maintain a state of overall equilibrium in the mainland's forces to avoid future crises similar to those on the Blue Island. β
Long Bai: "On the Zhibai Continent, there are only 13 places for the time being. One each from Wind Kite Mountain, Golden Creek, and Shanglu, and in addition, select 10 from other reliable top tribes. Moreover, these places are not given for free, and they need to participate in the final battle against the Blue Island. β
"Of course, it doesn't have to be a great fighter to fight. You can also do some logistical work, such as collecting food! The Boshuwan Alliance will organize a group of ant queens and queen bees to break out at least 100 million troops in the next 16 years to attack the Bafang Continent. β
Purple: "??? β
Cai Gang: "100 million? β
Huang Thorn couldn't help but interject: "Great Leader Long Bai, even if you collect all the food that can be eaten in the two continents of Zhibai and Wang Lan, it won't be enough to cultivate an army of 100 million, right?" β
Huang Xin said: "To feed an army of 100 million, at least 30 million bees and ants are needed to be responsible for logistics and transportation. In the case of transcontinental transportation, the logistical burden doubles, or even more. β
The Tutan Jia King roughly understood what Long Bai meant, and said in embarrassment: "Great Leader Long Bai, it must be no problem for all the clans in the Zhibai Continent to help collect food, but the problem is that it is difficult to transport it for a distance of 20,000 kilometers!" β
Purple proposed: "Gather the ant queen and queen bee in Longmai Mountain?" Alternatively, the larvae are concentrated in Longmai Mountain for culture. After hatching the adults, march to the island of Yucalyx or the island of Blue to assemble. β
Cai Gang praised: "Purple is the smartest! β
Blue Butterfly King: "......"
Some scarab warriors hunted fresh meat and put no worms to eat.
Long Bai said: "Since I have proposed it, of course there is a perfect solution!" β
As he spoke, with a tap of the tentacle, a water ball was generated, wrapping the entire corpse of the forest snake in front of him, controlling it to fly off the ground, the original energy fluctuated slightly, and the water ball turned blue, rapidly circulating, whitening, compressing, and quickly condensing into a white refining bead.
"This is an ability that I have comprehended, called 'refining'......"
Long Bai demonstrated it on the spot, and then roughly talked about the refining ability.
After speaking, he didn't look at the astonishment of the insects, activated the soil system ability, and the ground soil surged up, changed, and solidified, forming a rough topographic map of the Zhibai continent, and then using the water system ability to change the sea area map.
"Yellow Thorn, Yellow Heart, Yellow Leaf, Yellow Teng Zuowang, how many Eagle Bee armies are you stationed here on the Zhibai Continent?"
Yellow Thorn: "There are more than 60,000 left." β
Huang Xin: "Great Leader of Long Bai, what do you mean, the Zhibai clan will organize the collection of food, and the army of eagles and bees will be airlifted, concentrated in one or two or three locations, and finally you will refine and make this 'White Refining Pearl' by you." β
Long Bai: "That's right! β
Huang Xin buried his head in silent calculation, raised his head, and said solemnly: "Our eagle bee not only flies fast, but also has a top-level load-bearing capacity, and it is estimated that 60,000 troops are enough." β
Long Bai: "Good! In this matter, you will be credited with a great merit, and rewards will be distributed according to merit after the war, and the benefits of the Eagle Bee Kingdom will be insignificant. β
"Listen to the command of the Grand Leader of Longbai!"
The four kings of Yellow Thorn, Yellow Heart, Yellow Leaf, and Yellow Vine agreed sonorously.
"The soldiers under my command can also go into the sea to fish, and the products in the waters of the Zhibai Continent are not to be missed. Therefore, it is planned to set up garrisons in the southwest, southeast, and west of the mainland. β
Long Bai's tentacles compared, dividing the Zhibai Continent into three major regions, and said: "13 places, except for Shanglu, the other twelve places, corresponding to 12 tribes, evenly distributed in three large regions, 4 in each region. β
"I'll build a nest in each area, take one, and the army of eagle bees will be in charge of airlifting, and gather the food from the other three points."
The four eagle bees and the king clicked their tentacles to agree.
Long Bai: "Purple, Caigang, and Greenheart, each of you guards an ant army station, responsible for air sentry vigilance and communication. β
"Listen to the command of the Grand Leader of Longbai!"
The three worms happily agreed.
The Tutan Jia King asked, "Great Leader of Long Bai, so the garrison in the southwest region is in our Wind Kite Mountain?" β
Long Bai: "That's right! I have observed that the location of the mouth of the Yajiang River is the most suitable. In addition to being transported by air, the food collected by the upstream clans can also be transported by river, downstream and by boat, which can share a large part of the transportation pressure. It is also convenient for my ant army to go out to sea to fish, taking into account both land and water. β
The insects have clicked their tentacles to show their approval.
Long Bai continued: "The Blue Butterfly King, the Yellow Heart Zuo King, and the Falling Feather Armor King, you are familiar with the coastal kingdom, the southwest coast and the east coast, each recommend an ant nest station?" β
Long Bai added: "This also involves the allocation of places in the 'Poseidon Letter' in the future, and it is necessary to select large clans with good reputations and certain appeal. β
Zi hurriedly waved his tentacles, tapped lightly on the map, and said: "You can choose the Cockroach Lake in the southeast sea, the Stinging Ant Bee Kingdom!" Lone bees, in terms of blood, belong to the bee family, and they are also close relatives of the ant family. β
Cai Gang chimed in: "That's right. That's right. Jiaoxia Lake is a force composed of three families: black and white stinging ant bees, red and black stinging ant bees and golden velvet stinging ant bees, with a total insect population of about 30,000 and strong strength. β
Long Bai looked at the Blue Butterfly King and looked at the Falling Feather Armor King.
The King of the Falling Feather Armor hesitated and said, "The stinging ant bee is fierce by nature, and it is not easy to socialize. β
The Blue Butterfly King said: "Jiaoxia Lake implements a fully enclosed management, except for the Flame Spider Caravan and a few surrounding kingdoms, it does not communicate with the outside world much. In terms of appeal, I am afraid it is slightly insufficient. β
After the Blue Butterfly King finished speaking, he paused and added, "We have no communication between Golden Creek and Jiaoxia Lake. β
Long Bai looked at King Huang Xinzuo.
Huang Xin said in detail: "There are three clans in Jiaoxia Lake, nine leaders, and one big leader. The position of the big leader is rotated every hundred years, and the three clans take turns to sit, and it is currently the turn of the red and black thorn ant bee tribe, which is held by the red grapefruit queen bee. β
"In recent decades, I have been in charge of coastal reconnaissance, and everyone is a bee tribe, so I have a lot of contact with Jiaoxia Lake. The red grapefruit queen bee is still relatively easy to deal with. β
Cai Gang echoed: "I'm also familiar with it. Their pomelo leader is very atmospheric. β
Long Bai: "Good! Since you say so, let's go and communicate. β
Long Bai continued: "The continent is due east, corresponding to the coast near the passage of the two realms, and it is necessary to choose a nearby station. β
Huang Xin waved his tentacles, circled an area in the sea area of the map, and said: "Great Leader of Long Bai, due east of the mainland, there is an unowned island in this place, and according to my observation, the fish resources under the sea are extremely rich. It is less than 100 kilometers away from the mainland, and I suggest that the third station be located on the archipelago, which can be used as a unified storage site for the white refining beads collected by the Zhibai Continent, and it is also convenient to transport them back to the Wanglan Continent. β
"Really?"
Long Bai was overjoyed and said, "You can take a look!" β
After another period of detailed deliberation,
Cui Bai led 10,000 specialized blue soldiers to stay and stationed at the entrance of the Yajiang River.
Long Bai and Yinbai, led another 40,000 specialized blue soldiers, accompanied by the Blue Butterfly King, Yellow Heart, Purple, Green Heart, Caigang and other insects, first went to visit Jiaoxia Lake. (End of chapter)
