Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 252 [Li Daitao stiff]

  The main peak of Ant Mountain soars into the sky.

  According to the rumors heard in Fengming Cave, in the past two years, with the increase of abnormal climate and precipitation, the snow line on the main peak of Ant Mountain, which was not clear and difficult to identify, became clear and solid, and the meltwater also increased a lot.

  Maybe in a few years, this bare ant hill will also be full of emerald green.

   It is said that the main cave of Ant Mountain is at the foot of the main peak. It is a large karst cave with a very wide interior and a large flat area outside the cave. Demon troops practice here all the year round.

  When the demon king gathers, the leaders of the various cave masters will also bring their subordinates to stand here according to the area, waiting for the demon king to point out. Often at this time, there will be a lot of noise and noise in front of the main cave, and monsters big and small will jump around and fight.

The small middle-level leaders can only do their best to maintain each other, avoid devouring each other or running away, and try their best to keep the demon army within the area of ​​each cave, while the big leaders of each cave don't care about it and say hello to each other Then he stood steadily and waited, as reserved as a human official going to court.

  The Demon King of Ant Mountain is also known as the Demon Queen.

  Its main body is a big ant queen, which is a native monster of Ant Mountain. There are many ant troops under it, each of them is loyal and obedient without fear of casualties, and their strength is very tyrannical.

  Fang Chang and Sang Ziping sorted out these things, maintained the original cover-up, and walked towards the main peak.

   Along the way, there are occasional little demons on patrol, beating gongs and drums and passing by, Fang Chang and Sang Ziping carefully avoid them, so as not to bump into them head-on. But they were actually too careful. The sounds and smells in the mountains were very complicated. Even those with very sensitive senses of smell, vision and hearing could not tell whether there were unknown people passing by.

  They slowly touched in one direction, which was the field of the main cave of Ant Hill.

  A mushroom field, the ants in the ant hill have the habit of growing fungi since ancient times. Now that he has become a powerful force, he naturally has not given up on this foundation of his life. Instead, because of the skyrocketing size, the mushrooms he grows are getting bigger and bigger, and the output is getting higher and higher.

   After all, only relying on looting and the barren ant hill products to maintain the life of the leaders of each cave is not bad, but for this army of ants, it is completely insufficient.

  They can only rely on agriculture to solve the problem of food by themselves.

   "That's the mushroom field over there."

  Sang Ziping took a few steps forward, turned his head and said to the other party.

  Below their feet was a peak that was not too high and not too low. When there were a few ridges on it, it also covered their figures, so that they would not be noticed by monsters in the distance just because they were standing on the top of the mountain. Looking from here, you can just see a shady place ahead, where mushroom forests grow.

   "It must be. You can't see this wonderful scene elsewhere. It must not be formed naturally." Fang Chang looked at the mushroom forest in the distance and said.

   "Then let's go there and look for the two people that the quail was talking about." Sang Ziping said.

"good."

  The scenery of the mushroom forest is very fantastic. Large mushrooms several people tall, with different thicknesses, stand like a forest on the flat ground. The colors of the mushrooms are also different. Although it can be seen that they are all similar species, some are gray and some are colorful.

   At first glance, it is bizarre.

  Many of these mushrooms should be poisonous to humans, especially the colorful ones. Even for the monsters in the surrounding holes, most of them are inedible.

  But for the ants in the main cave, it seems that due to the different species, the toxicity of mushrooms can be ignored by them, so they can use this as a staple food. Luckily the mushrooms are so productive that it is possible to afford them.

  The two of them learned from Quail that the two master cave demons who were familiar with Quail Jing came to this ant field after being promoted.

   These two little demons are not ants, but other species.

  They don't eat mushrooms. The task here is to assist the ants in cultivating mushrooms, or in other words, direct the ants.

  Because the army of ants under the demon king, although they are strong in battle and obedient and loyal, they have a major shortcoming, which is low intelligence. Therefore, those monsters with brains are needed as the middle layer to direct the actions of these ants to make up for this deficiency.

After all, for the demon king, she doesn't have enough energy to direct all the ants' actions. After all, the current action logic is very complicated, far from the simple "foraging", "fighting", and "nesting" when the ants were not demons. , "planting" and other pheromone instructions can cover it.

  Going closer, I saw two little demons, wearing human clothes, standing aside with their hands together, directing the ants to move and tending the mushrooms in the field. There is also a small group of ant soldiers carrying containers, harvesting and transporting the largest mature mushrooms over there for food.

  Fang Chang and Sang Ziping looked at each other, then hid behind a big rock, and softly called the names of the two monsters.

  The subtle voice floated over, and the two little demons heard it, but they didn't take it seriously at first.

   But then, after they also looked at each other, they each found something wrong. After a simple communication, they knew that the other party had also heard the voice, so each was a little panicked, and after calming down, they were full of curiosity.

  They guide the ants to continue the current task, and then walk towards the source of the sound together.

  So the two demons were simply taken care of by Fang Chang and Sang Ziping.

  Looking at the two demons who were knocked unconscious on the ground, Sang Ziping said to Fang Chang: "Next, we will be them, and then they will sneak into the main cave. We will find a way."

  Fang Chang nodded. He looked at the two demons and saw that they had done nothing evil, so he stretched out his hand and beat them back to their original shape, until they were unable to speak and think in chaos. Only a little bit of true wisdom is left as a seed, and their practice and wisdom have not been eliminated, and then they are thrown away and left to fend for themselves.

  The two of them once again cast their blindfolds, transforming into the figures of these two little monsters, put on their clothes, and swaggered towards the mushroom forest.

  The ants are all low-intelligence people. They didn't respond to the two monster leaders who commanded them to go back and forth. They just conscientiously carried out the orders just now. Not to mention that no ant could detect that the two little leaders had changed.

  Fang Chang and Sang Ziping smiled at each other, and then imitated the appearance of the two monsters just now, and began to direct the ants to farm.

  Looking at this mushroom forest with a huge output and supplying countless demon soldiers, Sang Ziping sighed:

   "The yield of these mushrooms is really high, but it's a pity that they are poisonous and cannot be eaten. Otherwise, the famine of humans down the mountain will be much less."

   "Yes, but just thinking about it." Fang Chang shook his head, "The reason why these mushrooms can grow so big, so tall and so fast, and the inseparable toxins that are tightly bound to them play a big role."

   "Look, these mushrooms are originally the same species, but there are some differences in the types of toxins they contain, resulting in different shapes and yields after they grow."

   Sang Ziping sighed for a while, and then continued to work decently.
