"Master, spare me, I dare not again."
The queen screamed and begged in spiritual connection.
"I'll spare you this time. Next time, I'll let you live and die."
Ding Ning gave a cold warning, which stopped the punishment.
He used the punishment measures in the master-servant contract for the first time. Unexpectedly, the effect was good. Even the strong eight patterns like the ant queen were in pain.
"Master, I dare not again."
The queen ant relaxed and knelt to the ground, conveying her submission in her spiritual connection.
"In that case, I'll ask you some questions and you should answer them truthfully."
Ding Ning was full of doubts. According to his previous understanding, the queen ant was the strong one who evolved four or five golden stripes at most. How could she suddenly become the strong one with eight stripes?
The reason why I can't figure it out is that with the strength of the eight patterns of the queen ant, I can lead the ethnic group back to the center of the desert. How can I honestly offer a confession to the saint and stay here all the time.
"Master, I just broke through the eight patterns..."
With the queen ant's eloquence, Ding Ning realized what was going on.
It turned out that the queen ant had only six golden stripes before. Now it has become eight stripes because it has eaten all the ant slurry in stock.
Ant slurry is equivalent to the strategic reserve and reward resources of the ethnic group. In the past, it would never eat all ant slurry to improve itself, but would give it to the ethnic ants to maintain its rule. After all, ants are social creatures and value the strength of the whole ethnic group.
However, because the people of the ethnic group are basically born of it, each ethnic ant has a subtle spiritual connection with it.
When Ding Ning caught almost all the yellow ants and collected the medicine ring, the queen ant could clearly feel that almost all the people were disconnected from it one after another, which made her realize that there was a terrible enemy that the group could not resist.
The group has reached the moment of life and death. Where can the queen ant care about others? As long as she doesn't die, the group will recover sooner or later, but it will take a long time.
Therefore, she hurried to the place where the ant slurry was stored with the guard ants. She planned to swallow all the ant slurry at one time to improve her strength. If she could defeat the enemy, it would be better. If not, she would have more confidence in escaping.
But it didn't expect Ding Ning to come so soon. It could only send out all the guard ants to delay time, and it took this opportunity to make continuous breakthroughs.
Originally, with its strength of eight patterns, even if it couldn't beat Ding Ning and wanted to escape, it could still easily do it. Unfortunately, because of a moment of greed and a breakthrough in cultivation, Ding Ning was too confident in his spiritual power, so he was deceived by Ding Ning and fell into a spiritual pet.
Ding Ning looked disappointed. He came running for ant slurry this time. Unexpectedly, he threw himself into the air. But what can he say? If he was the queen ant, he would certainly make such a choice.
Under the pressure of depression, continue to ask about the forbidden area of the queen ant and the brewing method of ant slurry.
The queen ant answered all her questions to Ding Ning. She didn't dare to hide anything. She had been to the restricted area by mistake when she hadn't become queen ant many years ago.
In the past, it was just the worker ant at the bottom. It had neither fertility nor combat effectiveness. If there were no accidents, its fate in this life was to die silently in its hard work without any waves.
But it was that time that it stole into the restricted area and completely changed its fate.
The queen ant couldn't tell what was in the restricted area. She only knew that it was not like a barren desert, but a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers, streams and fairy sounds.
The ant tribe lives in the desert. It doesn't mean that they don't need to drink water. It's just that they have lived here for generations, which makes them evolve into extremely drought resistant varieties, but this doesn't mean that they don't want to live in a place with water.
However, even the queen ant can't tell why she doesn't want to leave the desert to find a place with sufficient water. Perhaps some ant families have thought about this problem, but no one has mentioned it. It seems that it's natural to live in the desert. It's treacherous to leave the desert. Maybe they don't realize it, There is an irresistible temptation in the desert, that is, the restricted area.
So, after the queen ant plunged into the so-called restricted area, looked at the beautiful scenery there, breathed the fresh air, and made it feel that that was the place where the ant family should live. Then, it fainted
When he woke up, he had returned to the family, inexplicably had fertility, and there was a memory of brewing ant slurry in his mind.
A few days later, the queen ant suddenly died without warning. She, a female ant with fertility for no reason, naturally became the queen ant and began its legendary ant birth.
Ding Ning was disappointed when he heard this. He thought he could get some news about the forbidden area from the queen ant. Unexpectedly, he knew everything except the beautiful mountains and rivers there.
The queen ant also told him the formula for brewing ant slurry, but this formula is of no use to humans. It seems to be a unique brewing method of the ant family, because one of the raw materials in the formula is an formic acid secreted by the queen ant.
If this is the only way, ant slurry will not be so precious. The most important raw material is a kind of stone produced in the depths of the Wanyi desert, which is called hydromica by the ant tribe.
According to the queen ant, water dolomite is not common in the center of the desert. On the contrary, when it first entered the restricted area, it seemed that there were water dolomite everywhere. It suspected that a small amount of water dolomite in the center of the desert fell out of the restricted area.
After the death of the Ant King, the yellow ant tribe began to decline. The queen ant resolutely stepped forward and took the mission of revitalizing the ethnic group. When she retreated from the center of the desert, she could take nothing with her, but she asked the people to take all the hydromica they could find.
At that time, many people did not understand it, but it insisted, because it knew that ant slurry was the key to whether the ethnic group could regain its former prosperity, and without the indispensable main material of dolomite, everything would be empty talk.
"Water cloud stone?"
Ding Ning had never heard of this kind of stone before, and muttered suspiciously.
It took the queen ant a long time to explain to him what the water cloud stone looks like. The appearance of this water cloud stone looks no different from that of ordinary stones, but when you look carefully, you can find that the inner layer of the stone is always floating with a faint mist, like clouds swimming in it, so they call it water cloud stone.
Ding Ning listened as if dumbfounded. There was a cloud like mist flowing in the inner layer of the stone. It was really a magical stone that had never been heard of or seen before.
Unfortunately, after so many years, the water dolomite brought out in those years has long been consumed by the ant queen's brewing ant slurry, and there is no real object that can open his eyes and make him deeply regret.
"If I don't come and there is no hydromica, won't you be able to brew ant slurry in the future?"
Ding Ning asked suspiciously.
"Originally, but after I found this tree, I can continue to brew ant slurry."
The queen raised her antennae and pointed to the top of the tree hole.
Ding Ning opened his mouth in amazement: "you mean the Dragon subduing tree?"
"Is this tree called Dragon subduing tree? The owner is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable."
The queen ant flattered her.
Ding Ning was even more puzzled. According to the queen ant, the formula of ant slurry inexplicably appeared in his memory. It is not a scientific researcher. Why do you think that dragon subduing tree can replace what dolomite as raw material?
"I don't know. This memory is inexplicably in my mind. The root of dragon subduing tree can replace hydromica as raw material to brew ant slurry."
The queen ant's confused answer made him speechless. If he had not signed the master servant contract with it and knew that it could not lie to himself, Ding Ning wondered whether it was lying to himself.
"So you dug the roots of the Dragon subduing tree and made such a big hole in order to brew ant slurry?"
Ding Ning twitched painfully and said in a bad tone.
You know, in his mind, the Dragon subduing tree is more precious than ant slurry. I don't know how many times. After all, it's a big deal to cultivate slowly without ant slurry, but the Dragon subduing tree with treasure all over the body is dead and one less. It's difficult to plant it artificially.
What's more, this ancient dragon subduing tree, which has grown for thousands of years, is far more powerful than ordinary dragon subduing trees. I don't know how many times. The queen ant digs such a large tree hole to brew ant slurry. In his opinion, it is simply a natural thing.
The most unacceptable thing for him is that digging a hole in the root of the tree is likely to affect the life of the Dragon subduing tree. It is not impossible for a bad tree to wither and die.
"I... i... I was wrong."
The queen ant lowered her head in fear, her lips were silent for a long time, and her heart was full of awe and fear of Ding Ning.
"Forget it, no wonder you want to brew ant slurry in the future. Let me help you get some dolomite as raw material."
Ding Ning looked at its pitiful appearance and couldn't help being soft. He knew that it was no wonder. After all, he didn't know the preciousness of the Dragon subduing tree.
What's more, even if it knows, it's just an ant, not from the rare resources protection association. In order to enhance the ethnic power, let alone dig a tree hole, even if it destroys the Dragon subduing tree.
"Master, in fact, there are many such trees in the restricted area."
The queen ant said timidly, but Ding Ning was shocked all over. Her eyes flashed a terrible light and asked excitedly, "are you serious?"
"Really, although it is not everywhere like marble, there are many dragon subduing trees. They grow in pieces. I can't remember the smell wrong."
The queen ant replied positively.
"Restricted area, hey hey, wait for me. I must go and see what kind of secret you have!"
Ding Ning's eyes were green and his saliva almost didn't flow down. Even for the sake of dolomite and dragon subduing tree, he had to go to the restricted area.
Reach out and put the queen ant and the guard ants into the medicine ring. Ding Ning looks at the towering ancient tree with hot eyes. There is really no technology to artificially plant dragon subduing trees on earth, but he has the medicine ring and will automatically configure the optimal growth environment. There is no doubt that the Dragon subduing trees will not survive.
As for how to transplant, Ding Ning didn't take it seriously at all. What's the difficulty for people with five elements totem to transplant a tree?
But the fact gave him a loud slap in the face. Although he mobilized the earth elements and wood elements, and the Dragon subduing tree was also shaky, he could not receive the medicine spirit ring.
Ding Ning could clearly feel that there was something strange under the Dragon subduing tree to prevent it from leaving.
This made him suddenly think of the strange power that devoured God's consciousness before. He couldn't help getting angry in his heart. His face became cloudy and sunny. He hesitated whether to provoke the terrible existence in order to subdue the dragon tree.
