Chapter 351: Blood Alien

Opportunities came sooner than expected.

After the talisman blew up the consciousness structure of the Vulcan ant group, it naturally activated the corresponding stop-loss and repair mechanisms.

As mentioned earlier, as long as the aberrant nest of the Vulcan ant is there, and the material foundation and structure are there, it is not difficult to reshape the group consciousness, and the Vulcan ant society has proved this with five or six successive successful examples. According to the relevant data of the study of Vulcan ants, when the Vulcan ant society is fatally impacted - generally the queen ant is killed or captured, and even the aberration nest is seriously damaged, resulting in the collapse of group consciousness and the leaderlessness of the group of ants, this highly social aberrant population will open the extreme survival mode.

They will be on the wreckage of the nest, with the relatively complete area as the axis, entangle the ant chamber and ant path that can be linked together, radiate relevant information hormones, and gather the remnants of the defeated generals to the greatest extent, and after the aggregation into a certain scale, with a special distortion path, stimulate the cultivation of a temporary ant queen, and reconstruct the group consciousness in a short period of time, based on this, through rapid regeneration, regroup.

Without such a large-scale area, a single ant chamber could do this kind of work, but the resulting sense of colony would be very low. The various ant chambers will also gradually integrate and slowly merge, but they will also be accompanied by conflicts and fights, and they will inevitably end with the death of the temporary queen ant of the defeated side, and the process is very tragic.

It is this "extreme survival" mode, and the matching high-speed replacement ability, that has helped the Vulcan ant society to survive tenaciously in this volcanic area for decades. But this is also the model, in today's special circumstances...... Appeared too early!

The "venom bomb" of the talisman is from the top down, defeating the group consciousness of the Vulcan ant society from the spiritual level. This blow did not cause much damage to the Vulcan ant nest, but it sent the "highly toxic spores" into every corner of the Vulcan ant society.

To this day, Ronan doesn't know what kind of composition pattern the talisman's keen and brutal instincts are, but every time this guy hunts, he will accurately tear through the target's seven inches, and this time is no exception.

The "highly toxic spores" do not have direct lethality, but when they spread, the Vulcan ants who were shuttling in various ant rooms and ant paths, the originally strict and neat queue suddenly became chaotic.

They seem to have lost their sense of direction, and the queue is disjointed, some accelerating forward, others turning around. Some are still in conflict with each other, interfering with each other, and turning in circles in a daze.

"Interfering pheromones."

Ronan roughly estimated that the behavior patterns of swarmed insects such as ants are largely guided by pheromones, and that Vulcan ants, although they are aberrants, still retain some similar patterns.

Due to the confusion of information received by the Vulcan ants, the large circulatory system centered on the "heart" of the aberration nest has been out of order, but if you look closely, there are some general rules to follow.

With millions or tens of millions of Vulcan ants, it is clear that they are aiming for the nearest ant chamber and gradually gathering. Each ant chamber is a center, almost without exception - so after just a dozen seconds, the aberration nest has hundreds or thousands of centers, and has even begun to cut the circulation channel, collect the circulating energy, and enter the de facto separation mode.

"That's really...... Hehe. ”

For the fed apart, nay, supposed to be a "thousand cuts", the Vulcan ant colony didn't do anything wrong.

The instincts that are etched into their genes are at work, and after the collapse of the dominant group consciousness, they quickly enter extreme survival mode. The environment they feel and the stimuli they receive show that the overall structure of the aberration nest no longer exists, and they must focus on the remaining ant nest to gather maximum strength, reshape the group consciousness, and then continue to update and re-follow the path of expansion.

So they did it, and they did it well, the crisis pheromones formed after the "ant gathering" volatilized violently, and were injected into the ant chamber in a special way, erasing the inhibitory pheromones when the Vulcan ant queen was "alive", so that some of the worker ants inside were distorted, and at the same time killed each other, and finally the victor became the temporary queen ant, set up a rough new shelf, and began to build a low-level group consciousness.

During this period, the nest of the fire god ants has a sense of beauty of "a spark can start a prairie fire".

In Ronan's psychic network, there were faint soul fires lit up one after another, from a few to dozens or hundreds, rapidly forming a scale.

In the environment of the volcanic area, the amount of resources that Vulcan ants can use should not be doubted, although these low-level group consciousness is far less powerful than the previous one, but the imprint engraved in the genes still makes them naturally have the ability to absorb external heat energy and life energy.

According to the normal survival model, these low-level group consciousness will have a period of "lonely time" to further familiarize themselves with and apply this skill, and when they start to expand again, they should be experts in this field. They will capture thousands of living creatures of other races in the process of expansion, use them as food and slaves, and then rely on the advantages formed by expansion to defeat their own people who no longer belong to the same aberrant evolutionary route, and once again dominate the volcanic area, so that their genes can develop and pass on along a stronger route.

But the problem is: at this stage, every ant room is very close, very close, very close!

It's so close that it's just going out and it's your face to your face.

According to the genetic instinct of the Vulcan ant, in the face of this situation, there is no flesh and blood affection, brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood, and the only choice is:

Hate!

The Vulcan Ant Civil War broke out fifteen seconds after the formation of the consciousness of the first low-level group, and entered all-out war mode five minutes later.

For a time, the entire core area of the Vulcan ant nest was in flames. Moreover, the impact caused by the collapse of the original group consciousness is still spreading, there is a problem at the headquarters, and the branch is not going to be better, and the turmoil in the entire volcanic area does not know when it will come to an end.

In other words, the entire Vulcan ant society suddenly entered the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is not that no one wants to work hard to save it.

The only core of the original aberrant nest, the "heart" located under the lava, the supreme ruler of the entire Vulcan Ant Society, perhaps with the word "former", well, in short, the Vulcan Ant Queen, is extremely angry and irritable at this moment.

The Vulcan Queen Ant probably belongs to the deviant species of that kind of aberrant species, and it has an extremely deformed body. The front half of its body is only about four or five centimeters, which is about five times larger than a normal Vulcan ant, which is okay. But below its abdomen, it swelled dramatically in an incredible form, with a diameter of only ten centimeters, almost the width of an adult's fist, and the length was about an entire arm at the back.

This structure is somewhat similar to that of termite queens, and many researchers suspect that the native species before the aberration is termites. But no termite queen has this kind of size and strength.

The completely unbalanced body proportions make it look more like a super-large eggplant with a calyx. At this time, this "eggplant" was squirming slightly, and the purulent and blood-like dirty light filled the entire "heart" space, reflecting countless fertilized and non-fertilized eggs neatly stacked on the four walls, as well as a neat team of worker ants and soldier ants.

On the periphery, there are layers of blood-red "fluff", like layers of terraced crops, neatly arranged. Become an integral part of the internal structure of the "heart".

At this time, the Vulcan Ant Queen had just recovered from the impact of its kingdom's out-of-control.

In the entire Vulcan ant society, the Vulcan ant queen is definitely the one closest to having a complete individual consciousness. In fact, it itself is at the heart of the consciousness construction of the Vulcan ant, which is its most important function in this colony besides reproduction. It can be said that the group consciousness characteristics of the entire Vulcan ant society are determined by the aberration talent and growth status of the queen ant.

This queen ant is still very young, and it has only been about two years since she became the ruler of this kingdom. As a result, it is far from developing a mature system of consciousness and making it more difficult to make accurate and clear judgments.

This limitation led to the collapse of the consciousness of the Vulcan ant group when the two systems collided; As a result, after the kingdom got out of control, it couldn't analyze the problem at all, but was quickly driven by more stubborn instincts.

The great enemy that fell from the sky was left behind by it, and all it had to do now was to integrate its resources and strength, and use the more advantageous structure in a group of low-level consciousnesses to regain its kingdom and become the master of this world again.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it undoubtedly had an overwhelming advantage. However, the current playbook is:

Alien invasion!

Without giving the former queen ant and future overlord any chance, the blood-colored pillar of light tore through the barriers between the spiritual and material planes, directly penetrating the "heart" area.

This is an artillery strike from the polar direction.

Since being tossed around by the "Plane Crossbow", Ronan has fallen in love with this kind of attack method from the Polar Domain, which is strong and fierce, and overwhelming.

Now there is no strong group consciousness of the Vulcan ants, there is Moren in the void of the abyss, there are seed marks in the depths of the lava, and the talisman itself has already crossed the border.

The blood-colored pillar of light silently flooded the area where the Vulcan ant queen was located, and in a similar hue, it filled the entire ant room.

At this moment, inside the "heart", countless fertilized eggs, non-fertilized eggs, and dense teams of soldier ants and worker ants, including the "eggplant queen", which should be the most tenacious, were all twisted and collapsed in the strong twisting light waves.

And this distorted light and shadow seems to be reassembled into a different image—it is a rocky mountain, with cliffs and cliffs, lava like a stream, like an illusion, and as if it is tending to the substance, which is the outline of the Blood Soul Temple.
