Chapter 132 Hairy-Horned Longhorned Beetle
Long Bai parked his throne on a lake in the vacuum of the Force, and flew close to Mo Lan at high altitude.
Aerial reconnaissance.
A place rich in the Force, with mountains, lakes, lush vegetation, and swarms of animals.
First of all, confirm that there is no god-given seed.
After lowering the height and conducting reconnaissance, no Force plants were found.
Then there must be no Zerg warriors.
Lower the height again and search carefully to confirm that this is an unclaimed land.
After searching around again, there was not even a fruit tree suitable for making ant honey.
"Long Bai, is this the north?"
"So be it."
"Does it snow in winter?"
"In terms of latitude, it is between Xianglan Mountain and Yinbai Mountain, so it will probably snow."
"We can plant ordinary azure persimmon trees on that mountain!"
"certainly."
"What kind of trees can be planted at the foot of the mountain?"
"Peach trees, pear trees, apple trees, grapes, watermelons, etc. You can grow gorgon fruit, lotus, and rice."
"This is a great place! We can plant more orchards here!"
Mo Lan was not as depressed as usual, but was very happy.
Long Bai was slightly disappointed.
This place is rich in water resources, fertile soil, luxuriant plants, hordes of animals, and there are lakes where fish can be raised and fished, and there is endless food.
A great place with so much life, but nothing at all.
Retrieve the throne of dominance and dock it at the lakeside in the center of the Land of Force.
Mo Lan headed north, Long Bai headed south, speeding through the forest, searching carefully.
I spent two days searching carefully.
In the evening, we met by the lake.
"Long Bai, have you found anything?"
"No."
"I hunted a piglet."
"..."
Nothing was found.
Long Bai shook his tentacles, and a long string of water drops jumped out of the lake, drew an arc, and fell into the metal can.
The worker ants walked along the wooden board to the ground, using their jaw teeth to cut the pork.
The blue ants held the wooden saucers in their mouths and offered ant honey.
Long Bai walked on the water again and caught a few fish to enrich the ingredients for dinner.
Mo Lan cut a few branches with hooks.
Throw the fish bones and pork bones into the pot and cook for a while.
The meat is cut into pieces, punched, hooked with branches, boiled in a pot and then eaten.
The worker ants and blue ants who followed Long Bai became accustomed to and liked this way of eating. After smelling the smell, they ran out of the ant nest and gathered around the metal can, eagerly looking forward to it.
There was also a smart guy who took out the larvae, raised it high, and kept signaling to Long Bai: Your Majesty, give the larvae something to eat.
In fact, if you throw a piece of cooked meat over, the larvae will be thrown away immediately...
Long Bai and Mo Lan were eating and feeding.
"Long Bai, where are you going next?"
"Go back to Xianglan Mountain."
"It's still summer."
"We are more familiar with the mountains and forests near Pandan Mountain. We take advantage of the season to pick more wild fruits and brew ant honey."
"All right……"
Mo Lan asked:
"Long Bai, are we going to look for the land of the Force in the north in the future?"
"Of course...it doesn't count the north."
"Not counting the north?"
"You can do a simple calculation. At the current speed of the Dominion Throne, starting from Fanglan Mountain and heading north, it will take 9 days to fly to Yinbai Mountain, and it will take about 13 days to fly to the extreme northern divine power barrier. However, from Fanglan Mountain to the south , it took 4 days’ flight to reach Guifan Mountain, and just over one day’s flight to reach the tropical coast.”
"Yes——"
"Actually, Pandan Mountain belongs to the very south."
"yes……"
As Mo Lan was speaking, he turned around suddenly.
Long Bai followed and looked sideways.
In the woods not far away, under a large elm tree with a diameter of more than half a meter, a brown and blue figure quickly disappeared behind the trunk.
Long Bai: "!!!"
Mo Lan: "Little warrior?"
Lone Cypress: "Some kind of beetle."
Mo Lan: "Chasing?"
Long Bai: "Catch up and have a look!"
The ants sensed the king's mood swings and all gave way.
Long Bai and Mo Lan set off at the same time, rushing towards the woods, scanning with their mental powers.
Soon, a beetle that flapped its wings desperately and flew away was blocked by Mo Lan.
Turn around.
Then he found that his escape route was blocked by Long Bai.
Swirling to the ground.
Long Bai and Mo Lan came forward and looked closely.
A small beetle warrior with a body length of only four to five centimeters.
Brown-green carapace with rust-like frosted particles.
The antennae are slender and have 4 tufts of hair, which is a very obvious racial identifier.
"Hairy-horned beetle?"
"Yes."
"It doesn't seem to be able to use mental communication yet."
"Maybe he was scared."
"Does the beetle also fake death?"
"Won't……"
"Then it..."
Not only was it frightened, the little beetle warrior was paralyzed with fear. It lay on the ground, its six legs staring straight, and made no movement.
"Little guy, don't be afraid." Mo Lan reassured.
"We have no ill intentions." Long Bai tried his best to soften his mental power.
"What's your name? What plant did you choose for your first life?" Mo Lan asked.
The little warrior remained motionless.
Long Bai: "My name is Long Bai. Long Bai Ant King."
Mo Lan: "My name is Mo Lan. My first life tree is Mo Lan."
The little warrior still didn't respond.
Long Bai: "Without the protection of your elders, it is difficult for you to survive in the jungle."
Long Bai: "Mo Lan and I have no ill intentions."
Mo Lan quickly ran to the lakeside, returned with a plate of ant honey, and placed it in front of the little warrior.
"Little guy, it's delicious, ant honey, please try it."
The little warrior's tentacles swayed slightly and continued motionless.
It's literally playing dead.
Long Bai: "..."
Cymbidium:"……"
Mo Lan: "We didn't bring Force food with us on this long trip."
Long Bai: "How about forgetting it."
never mind?
Mo Lan immediately woke up: Where is this little guy's life seed hidden?
"forget about it."
"Go back and eat."
"Let's go."
"Let's go."
…
The hairy-horned beetle warrior watched the two insects leave, lay on the ground for a while, stood up, approached the wooden dish made by Fujiko, touched the ant honey with his tentacles, licked it, ran quickly, and climbed up a big ash tree next to it. Spread your wings and take off.
Crossing the plain forest, he landed on the branch of a neem tree. He lay quietly and watched for a while, then continued to take off on the road and landed on a half-dead neem tree on the mountainside.
A tree with a trunk diameter of 30 centimeters has five wormholes drilled into it.
The hairy-horned beetle warrior looked left and right, then climbed back into the tree hole.
…
Not far away, under the shadow, Mo Lan appeared, leaped into the air, and galloped back to the lakeside.
"Found it. It lives in the mountains."
"oh."
"A very cautious little guy."
"A newly awakened little warrior knows how to be cautious as long as he is not stupid."
"???"
Mo Lan: "Are you going to catch it now?"
Long Bai: "There's no rush. Have a night's rest and look for it tomorrow morning."
Mo Lan: "Bring it back to Xianglan Mountain?"
Long Bai: "This is the only way."
Mo Lan: "Then what?"
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai hopes that more Zerg warriors will join the Yunji Continent business circle to improve the internal circulation of Force food.
But Long Bai was not very willing to spend resources cultivating little warriors. Being stingy is a quality that traveling merchants should have.
But among the insects currently known in Yunji Continent, the only ones that can afford to raise little warriors are Ghost Fan, and maybe Sang too.
Mo Lan suggested: "You can send it to Nanzizi Mountain and let it help take care of the wild Ziziphus seeds. We will pay the reward."
Long Bai shook his tentacles and denied, "Then it would be better for me to cultivate an intelligent worker ant and lead the ant colony to station in Nanzizao Mountain."
Mo Lan: "Send it to Shan Shi? Or stay with Bai Liu?"
Long Bai still shook his tentacles.
Yamashiba can barely feed himself.
The white willows were so poor that they clanked.
Sannali is a tropical rainforest, which is not suitable for hairy horned longhorned beetles to survive.
Long Bai thought about it for a long time and said: "Go over tomorrow and see what it chooses as its first seed..."
"First bring it back to Fanglan Mountain and spend some resources to help it evolve to the 4th or 5th instar. Let's make plans next spring."
