It usually takes about 10 days for a junior warrior to evolve into an intermediate warrior.

During this period, it is most taboo to be disturbed, especially not to scan with mental power. Force creatures are sensitive to mental power and can be easily awakened, causing evolution to be abandoned halfway, with consequences ranging from starting over again to fatal consequences.

……

Long Bai stood guard outside the cave where Mo Lan lived, occasionally looking inside and not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

Timing of engraving at the entrance of the cave,

One day, two days, three days...

On the afternoon of the fourth day, weak force fluctuations came from the cave.

Long Bai looked around.

The oval-shaped ‘Force Cocoon’ is rapidly converging and dissipating.

On the ruling throne, Mo Lan's two pairs of wings fell off, and the dull carapace had a crack on his forehead. His body shook, and the crack in the carapace quickly spread to his back.

Shed off the old shell.

A new pink and white carapace, new wings slowly spreading.

Mo Lan's body is also elongating, until it is about 30 centimeters in length. The original bloated body has changed and become slender.

When exposed to air, it solidifies at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Longbai?"

Waking up from a deep sleep, Mo Lan was in a trance.

"Mo Lan, congratulations on being successfully promoted to intermediate warrior!"

Long Bai: "Are you hungry? I'll go look for something to eat..."

After saying that, he left and started searching in the nearby mountains and forests.

The fifth-instar junior ant king has poor hunting ability. Long Bai ran back and forth several times and caught 7 grasshoppers in the grass.

Mo Lan took one bite at a time, ate something, regained some strength, and went out to hunt by herself.

……

From a junior warrior to an intermediate warrior, it is a breakthrough in the realm, a leap in life level, a significant increase in overall strength, and a life span extended to 30 to 50 years.

The moment Mo Lan completed her breakthrough, the fruity orchid god-given seed changed.

Overnight, the mother plant grew by about 10 centimeters, and new buds and leaves sprouted. At the same time, all seven branches withered, and the underground stems spread.

Each ramet derives 3 underground stems, which is a 3-fold ramet.

Although it is not the 5x or 7x ratio that Long Bai and Mo Lan expected, it is not the worst either.

In one day, the underground stems of the ramets grow.

In one day, the original 7 ramets and the 21 new ramets all sprouted.

In one day, the buds grow to a height of five or six centimeters, and new buds emerge.

In another day, it will grow into a vigorous seedling about ten centimeters tall.

After another 15 days of growth, the height of the mother plant and branches of the God-given orchid seed exceeded 1 meter.

Other orchid species of Molania also grow and divide into branches, but the growth rate is much slower, the number of branches is very small, and the height is far less than that of the God-given species.

……

When Mo Lan was a junior warrior, there were foxes, wild boars, giant pythons, eagles, wolves, bears, tigers, leopards and other large beasts in the mountains and forests that were unbeatable.

After evolving into an intermediate warrior, he rested for a while, and his combat power reached its peak. Mo Lan began to clean up these guys who often threatened the security of the territory.

The uneaten corpses were cut up, dug in pits and buried near the plants.

There are many more. Plan the sowing location of the next seed in advance, bury the compost, and improve the soil fertility first.

The entire 10-kilometer radius will be swept away and patrolled regularly until no more ferocious beasts dare to approach.

……

Time is late spring,

Long Bai keenly felt that he was about to evolve, so he informed Mo Lan, put down all the work at hand, calmed down, lay down on the throne of control, and concentrated on absorbing the force.

Within two days, strong sleepiness came over me...

……

"Awakened a lot of knowledge about animals and plants."

After waking up from a deep sleep and shedding his old carapace, Long Bai lay on the throne of control, lowered his head, and sorted out his memories.

Quickly find the most important inherited knowledge: the cultivation of specialized worker ants

What are the uses of specialized chemical worker ants?

Very useful!

The jaws of soldier ants are only good at killing prey.

The jaws of worker ants are better suited for digging earth and rocks.

You can cultivate a group of specialized worker ants and command them to dig a reservoir, dig aqueducts, etc. in the territory.

"Sixth-year-old junior warrior, I should have enough physical strength now to support the throne of domination to generate two ant eggs at a time, right?"

Long Bai thought and climbed down from the throne.

The sleeping time for this evolution should not be long, and I have eaten and drank enough beforehand, so I won’t feel too weak when I wake up.

Long Bai climbed straight out of the ant nest.

"Long Bai! Wake up!"

Mo Lan, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, said hello, surprised, stared at Long Bai, and then said slightly disappointedly:

"Wow, Long Bai, you are still so small."

Ants are inherently smaller than praying mantises.

Male ants are smaller than female ants.

As the junior ant king in the sixth stage of evolution, Long Bai's body length is only seven or eight centimeters, slender and slender. According to this growth pattern, I am afraid that if he is promoted to an intermediate ant king in the future, his body length will not exceed 20 centimeters.

Incomparable to Mo Lan.

"Long Bai, where is your destiny?"

"At..."

The dragon cypress opened its mouth and spit out the 5-year-old cypress seeds.

Shaking its tentacles, a small worker ant ran out, moved it back to the ant nest, and soaked it in a bamboo tube filled with water.

It's still spring at this time, so there's still time to sow seeds. Giant cypress can withstand drought and heat, so there won't be much of a problem.

A few more medium-sized worker ants came out of the nest carrying food in their mouths and fed Long Bai.

"Mo Lan, how many days have I slept?"

"One day? You started evolving last night, and it's only mid-afternoon now. It takes less than a day. The Throne of Control is so powerful."

Mo Lan then asked: "Longbai, what plant did you choose to plant in the 6th age? Orchid?"

Mo Lan was promoted to an intermediate warrior, and at Long Bai's strong request, he chose a large-fruited hemlock seed as his life seed.

Now, Mo Lan also wants to advise Long Bai to choose an orchid seed as his destiny seed.

Of course Long Bai couldn't agree.

"Mo Lan, the dried cedar seeds you gave me last time were very good, I decided to choose them!"

Long Bai quickly changed the subject and asked: "Mo Lan, has the god-given orchid seed bloomed?"

Mo Lan: "No. It's still early. I'm just worried that it won't bloom this year."

Long Bai: "How is it growing? Let's see!"

……

The 28 ramets of the God-given fruit orchid have grown up, and the underground stems are developing and need time to accumulate energy.

Mo Lan can communicate with Fruit Orchid through spiritual power.

After asking, I am not sure whether the fruit orchid will bloom this year.

Long Bai couldn't even see it,

Wait and see.

……

Different varieties of orchids have quite different flowering seasons.

Black orchids bloom in early spring, stone orchids bloom in late spring, and cold orchids bloom in early summer.
