In the evening, light rain began to fall on the already gloomy sky.

Rain can wash away the odor exhaled from the stomata, greatly reducing the possibility of being discovered and tracked, making it easier to sneak into the jungle in good weather.

As the sky turned dark, Long Bai called Mo Lan on the road.

Long Bai ran ahead.

Mo Lan activated his natural ability to merge with the dark forest and followed behind.

He walked half a circle close to the thin outer circle of the force, came to the southeast, and ran towards the mountainous area.

Not yet entering the scope of the land of force, not yet approaching the mountains, Long Bai stopped.

Mo Lan's figure appears.

Ahead is a large area of ​​neatly planted pine trees, with a few falling over, obviously caused by insects.

Looking closer, the fracture is neat and very fresh. It was just put down in the past day or two.

"Long Bai, there are indeed Zerg warriors living here."

"They are planting pine trees? It looks like black pine."

"There are newly planted saplings over there!"

Mo Lan tapped her tentacles lightly and pointed in a direction.

Long Bai glanced at it, tapped his tentacles slightly, and asked: "Mo Lan, have you sensed the original energy fluctuations of the original plant?"

"No."

"There should be no Zerg warriors settled nearby."

Long Bai quickly climbed up a nearby pine tree, stood on the top of the tree and looked out, observing the surrounding terrain through the dark night rain curtain, turned around and got down from the tree, waved his front feet, signaling Mo Lan to follow.

A large area nearby is full of neatly planted trees.

Long Bai led Mo Lan, carefully bypassed it, entered the land of force, and climbed up a hill.

Looking out from a high position is inexplicably shocking.

Ahead are undulating hills, with neatly opened terraced woodland.

This is the edge of the land of the Force!

The edge areas have been developed into forest land, so the middle areas must have all been developed.

How big is this area? Hundreds of square kilometers!

How many Zerg warriors are needed to manage this?

Long Bai assessed, "The number of Zerg warriors here probably exceeds fifty, maybe as many as hundreds."

"Yeah——"

Mo Lan echoed and hesitated: "Long Bai, do you think it is an ant king, commanding the worker ants to cultivate and manage the land?"

Long Bai: "It's impossible. There's not enough food."

Mo Lan: "What about the ants whose main food is fruits and plant seeds?"

Vegetarian ants that eat pine nuts, cypress seeds, birch seeds, and elm nuts?

All you can see are large trees such as pine, cypress, birch, elm, alder, etc., rather than fruit trees such as apples and peaches.

Long Bai didn't believe it at first, but then he changed his mind and thought of a possibility: perhaps this area focuses on planting dry fruit trees, and fresh fruit trees are planted in other areas.

"Mo Lan. Take a look over there."

Long Bai led the way, trotting along the ridge under the cover of darkness and rain.

Soon, we stopped at the top of a hill.

In the garden below, a few mature trees were cut down, but no treatment was done.

Without stopping for long, we continued to move forward, running along the hilly ridges towards the depths of the land of force.

From time to time, traces of Zerg activities can be seen, but no traces of Zerg warriors have been found, let alone the caves where they live.

A neat square of woodland was reclaimed, and the trees planted were constantly changing. I ran through it and saw hundreds of kinds of trees, including fruit trees such as persimmon trees and peach trees, but the number was very small, and they all had high yield and quality.

Very poor native species found from wild mountains and forests.

"Long Bai, stop!"

From behind, Mo Lan urgently shouted stop.

Long Bai stopped suddenly and turned around.

Mo Lan raised her front legs and pointed at the mountain peak opposite the col, "The force wave of the force plant!"

The distance is too far, and in the rainy night, I can only vaguely see the dark shadow of a mountain peak.

"Mo Lan, don't worry!"

Long Bai looked left and right, led the way to the hilltop in the distance, and hid under a leafy acacia shrub.

"Long Cypress?"

Mo Lan questions.

Long Bai: "Wait until daybreak and observe in secret."

"Oh——" Mo Lan didn't want to act rashly.

I ran for most of the night, and wherever I passed, the mountains were filled with neatly cultivated forest lands.

Ordinary Zerg warriors do not have this ability. There are definitely vegetarian ants operating here.

Maybe it's a Zerg tribe operating in cooperation with the Ant tribe.

Wait with peace of mind.

Rain breaks.

Tianming.

The golden sun hangs diagonally on the eastern horizon.

On the opposite mountain peak, a beetle with a black carapace and gleaming purple light slowly walked to the forest clearing and walked into the sight of Long Bai and Mo Lan.

The beetle warrior climbed up a cypress tree on the slope and lay on the trunk, with his back facing east, motionless, as if he was enjoying the winter sunshine.

Mo Lan was the first to make a judgment: "About 1 meter in length, a senior warrior from a certain walking armor tribe!"

Mo Lan: "The number of force plants planted nearby is also 18, which is exactly in line with its level of evolution."

Mo Lan: "Long Bai, what should we do next?"

Long Bai: "Don't worry. Keep observing."

Mo Lan: "We are very much like thieves."

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "It only walked out of the cave in the middle of the morning. After walking out of the cave, it didn't work. It just lay on the tree to bask in the sun. It is not running these woodlands, there are other insects."

Mo Lan:「!!!」

Mo Lan: "Continue to observe!"

At noon when the sun was high in the sky, the beetles on the opposite hill slowly retreated from the cypress trees and disappeared into the dense forest.

After waiting for a long time, Long Bai was thinking about whether he should change his observation angle, when he saw a group of black and white figures appearing on the forest road on the mountain col below.

"Ant tribe?" Mo Lan shook her antennae excitedly.

"Not ants! Termites." Long Bai said solemnly.

The number of marching termites is an integer of 50.

The leaders are 10 termite soldier ants whose heads occupy two-thirds of the body, and the ratio of the head to the body is even more exaggerated than the specialized soldier ants among giant-headed ants.

Behind the soldier ants are 40 worker ants whose heads take up half of the body.

There is not much difference in body size between soldier ants and worker ants, and their appearance is also similar. The difference lies in the size of their heads.

It has black scissor-shaped jaws, a white head, a black breastplate, a white bellyplate, slender white legs, and black toes.

Termites in black and white.

The body length of soldier ants is about 1.5 meters, and the body length of worker ants is about 1.2 meters. There is no differentiation in size.

There is no commander ant in the team!

They lined up neatly, walked to the foot of the mountain, and automatically divided into teams. One soldier ant led 4 worker ants, and they were divided into 10 logging teams. They spread out into the forest, selected trees, and bit around the trunks with their jaws and teeth...z.br>

……

"Long Bai, in the inherited memory, the condition for the establishment of the termite kingdom is that there must be an ant king and an ant queen?"

"Yes. One male and one female, two termites at the life level of the Force, together they form a termite kingdom."

This condition is too difficult to achieve.
To be continued...
