Chapter 267: Ant Colony Mutation
As early as when the blood soaked the ant's nest, the strong pheromones alarmed the Yan slaves.
Originally, he was in a daze, completely believing that he was a young worker ant, eating the sweet syrup produced by the fermentation of seeds in the storeroom.
So that I can grow as soon as possible and participate in the construction work.
Simple instructions filled his body and mind, and the instinct of the worker ant made him only need to carry out the order without any thinking.
He is just a cog in the fabric of a great society, a brick in a grand pavilion that can be moved wherever it is needed.
All the nutrients are supplied to digestion and action, and there is no 'imagination' or 'emotion' at all.
The only strange thing about him was that all the food was in his mouth, and compared to other larvae, Yan Nu could eat indefinitely.
Everywhere we go, food reserves are dwindling.
The colony quickly noticed his abnormality, but that didn't stop him from eating like crazy.
Because feeding the young ants is the duty of the ant colony, and its importance is second only to protecting the queen.
As a result, Yan Nu, a small ant, ate the entire nest's food reserves......
When the worker ants are responsible for feeding the queen, they crawl to the storage room and prepare to carry food to supplement the queen's nutrition.
As a result, nothing was found, and it was only when they crawled around the empty area and fell into confusion that the ant colony realized the seriousness of the matter.
The alarm bell sounded, and a swarm of stronger ants poured in, searching for intruders and stealing food reserves from the nest.
At the same time, stricter instructions were issued that all worker ants should increase their efforts to collect food and be sure to fill their nests.
This time, it was the queen ant who personally ordered that all worker ants go out under the food crisis, and even the larvae that had just become adults were also driven to do some simple work.
As a juvenile worker ant, Yan Nu was assigned a job ahead of schedule.
The Yan slave, who was in a daze, immediately prepared to follow the large army and go out to search for food.
But as he turned his attention to searching for food, he soon discovered something even stranger.
That's because he ate too much before, and his body was stained with a lot of sweet syrup, which penetrated into his body.
At the moment, he can instinctively discharge it.
"Zila!"
Yan Nu easily discharged a ball of sweet syrup, as if it was a matter of course for formic acid.
Before I even got out, the mission was done.
His tentacles twitched, and he was delighted: it was so easy to gather food.
The surrounding worker ants swarmed up, and their powerful front jaws grunted from the sweet pulp, sucked a part of it, and left decisively.
All life skills and experiences are imprinted in the bloodline instinct, which is automatically activated whenever the relevant pheromones appear.
Yan Nu didn't need to learn, just like an activated mechanism, he did it one by one, dividing up the food he secreted.
However, when it was his turn to spit out the food, he stopped.
The flame slave froze, and an unprecedented situation appeared, contrary to all the empirical instincts recorded in the bloodline......
The food in the importer was sucked and gone......
He couldn't spit out what he had eaten, and couldn't help but look at the worker ants around him with some blankness.
Those worker ants can easily spit out the food, and then continue to move, carrying it a second time, smoothly and skillfully.
The strong pheromones hit again, constantly urging the flame slaves: action! Let's go! Let's go!
So the slave skipped the downtime process and returned to the first step: making food.
Because he found that the sweet pulp discharged from his body was filled with it.
He didn't go out at all, just lay down in the room of the young ants, and produced food on the spot.
Eating and vomiting, vomiting and eating, there was more and more food around Yan Nu, and all the ants were stunned.
They were frantically circling around the Yannu, trying to carry food, but this was the storage room......
Everyone swayed their tentacles, observing, bewildered, a small young ant, and single-handedly took care of all the food collection work.
I don't know how long it took, but the entire storage room was filled with sweet slurry......
Such a happy and unreasonable thing shocked the queen ant.
The breath of the great harvest strongly stimulated the swelling of the queen's lower body...... Increase spawning!
And all the task of the worker ants going out to find food is diluted, and a new strong smell hits: expanding the nest.
The colony continues to be busy, and there seems to be no sense of rest or well-being at all.
When there is plenty of food, expand the nest and breed wildly!
The nest is huge, so collect more food and plunder like crazy!
And so on and so forth, endlessly.
Yan Nu became a special one, a special group of ants, passing by him, marking him with a strong special smell.
He was labeled as a source of food production.
Although I don't know why, there will be a steady stream of food signals from this young ant, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just accept it.
This experience, as the smell spreads, is recorded in the collective memory of the colony.
More and more food, the nest is getting bigger and bigger, brand new eggs are all over the depths of the nest, and more and more young ants are born.
The flame slave is numb and confused, like a perpetual food machine.
However, as the blood of the human suddenly flowed in, it shattered the peaceful life that he only needed to eat.
The strange, hormone-filled human breath strongly stimulated his senses and made all the ants confused and restless.
The instincts of the body, and the smell of the ant colony, kept telling him: blood, humans, destruction from above! Build a lair! Protect the Queen!
All this news flooded the lair.
There is information about humans, and ant colonies are there, and they are an indescribable enemy with a strong and special smell and extremely large size.
A large number of worker ants took action and came to the upper wall that had penetrated the blood beads, which had been ravaged by huge limbs and had been damaged a lot.
The blood beads that penetrate are several times larger than those of ants, and there are several worker ants around each drop.
They swallow the blood, then spit it out to a dry place and suck up the water from the soil.
Originally, this was not Yan Nu's job, and even if the nest collapsed, he didn't need to pay attention to it.
Specially labeled, he only needs to do one thing, produce food.
But there was information about human beings, but it strongly stimulated him, and for no reason, he throbbed.
A consciousness began to sprout, driving him to find humans.
Yan Nu actually put down his work and crawled awkwardly, weaving through the ant colony, and also joining in the carrying of blood.
However, he was soon stopped in his way.
"Stop! Food Sources...... No leaving! ”
Huge ants crawled from behind, transmitting messages with intensity, and trampled over him, blocking the hole in the storage room.
The ant was very strong, with a hideous and hard shell, full of lethality.
The taste is extremely intimidating, and it is crazy to stimulate the flame slaves.
Instinct drives the Yan slave to obey, follow the orders of his own species, and carry out his own work.
But a sense of self made him rebel against this instinct.
The poor consciousness of the worker ant is extremely weak, has no ego at all, and cannot go against instinct.
When he is labeled as a food source, he has only one thing to do: produce food!
He is the productive tool of the entire colony, and is not allowed to do anything else that wastes energy.
Worker ants cannot be disobeyed, and other things are not qualified, authoritative, or functional to do.
His destiny is to work! Job! Job! Until death!
Suddenly, the Yan Nu became irritable and crawled restlessly on the spot.
One moment I turn back, the next I have to go out again, and I am going around in circles.
However, he soon calmed down again, and felt his consciousness grow bigger and bigger, gradually overpowering his instincts.
It was as if he had grown a brain and made an action against his ancestors: compiling pheromones on his own.
The signals that worker ants can emit, back and forth, just a few. Like what to mark food, mark enemies, mark roads, etc.
That's the skill imprinted in the bloodline, no less, and basically not more.
Self-consciousness will only make a simple judgment and choose among these limited choices.
However, at this moment, Yan Nu can create additional options and compile additional signals according to ideas.
"Don't stop me!"
The signal is extremely strong! It's silent, but it's deafening.
Completely rebelled against the blood class of the ant colony, and issued a cry that was completely infunctional as a worker ant!
The strong soldier ants were shocked, their tentacles trembling.
This is a pheromone that was never conceived......
Searching through the bloodline skills, this soldier ant didn't know how to answer, and there was no answer in the signal bank.
However, the soldier ants still understood this meaning, and the blocker died!
The signal is divine! From ancient times to the present, there has been no element of lying and fiction in the blood of ant colonies.
Seeking truth from facts, loyalty and perseverance are the life of ants.
However, the soldiers still did not get out of the way.
Death is not fearful, it does not allow food sources to leave, it is his duty, for this he can fight to the death.
In an instant, the soldier ant tore up, and the huge front palate caught the Yan slave, dragging him into the storage room.
This only brings emotional intelligence to the Yan slaves, because the soldier ants have relented, and one of their tasks is to protect the food source.
The mission of not leaving, in essence, is to defend against foreign aggression and prevent food sources from being taken away by foreign species.
No one thought that the food source would not listen to the order and run out on its own.
Soldier ants are forced to fight against food sources, but not really.
But Yan Nu didn't care about that, and resisted as much as he could.
There is a huge disparity in size and strength between the two, but the soldier ants soon find that they can't hurt each other at all.
Including the formic acid sprayed, it can not quickly paralyze and corrode the Yan slave, on the other hand, the Yan slave sprays formic acid and sweet pulp.
Even under the pincers of the big palate, the strength of Yan Nu's exoskeleton became bigger and bigger, and he ripped off the head of the soldier ant with a gaba.
The soldier ants who lost their heads were still moving and jumping, shaking the surrounding slag, and finally their huge bodies fell.
And the little flame slave walked past him and walked straight to the blood bead.
This battle alarmed the ant colony, the smell continued to spread, and the news continued to spread.
The worker ants were stunned, but they still worked faithfully, carrying and cleaning the blood.
Yan Nu didn't know why he was here, it was pure curiosity.
At this moment, seeing that everyone is working, he is simple-minded, and he simply learns the same.
But apparently, he couldn't carry it, because the blood was not in his mouth, and he sucked and sucked, and his whole body was soaked in the blood.
The feeling of suffocation passed for a moment, and a trace of blood seeped into his body.
Immediately, the smell is completely masked!
After Yan Nu sucked all the blood dry, he suddenly looked back and found that he actually had human blood in his body, exuding human breath.
Humans, why does he care so much about this signal?
A consciousness burst through his heart, and a huge amount of information was bloated in the poor brain of the worker ant, making his brain buzz.
The colony didn't care about that, and more and more soldier ants arrived, and they came to bring back the food source.
However, the original smell of Yan Nu was masked, and at this moment, the whole body was filled with the smell of humans.
Suddenly, they regarded the Yan Nu as an alien and swarmed up.
The huge forepalate struck from all directions, and formic acid gushed wildly.
Yan Nu's body was clamped and torn all over his body, as if he was about to be torn apart by five horses, but the ants couldn't move, and Yan Nu was already immune to their damage.
Formic acid is all over the body, and it has no effect at all, but it makes him, a small worker ant, have more and more powerful formic acid.
However, the Yan Nu, who was immersed in the emergence of huge memories, did not fight.
An instinctive burst of an ability in my heart, domineering!
It was a terrifying power like the arrival of a king, extremely surging, shocking all directions.
This is the absolute characteristic of Chi You Dun, and its most absolute place is that it never dies!
Even if you die, just a tablet and a name will exude domineering.
What about reincarnation? It's simply indelible.
It could be distributed as early as when Yan Nu was born, but he didn't have the will to do so before.
At this moment, it exploded, as if it was dominating the world.
The whole ant colony was shaken and all fell into panic...... The shooter does not dare to go west, afraid of the platform of Xuanyuan!
"Dangerous!"
An indescribable overbearing creature appeared in the nest, and a strong signal spread wildly, and all the ants felt a kind of fear from the heart.
"Outliers! Heterogeneous! ”
"Protect the queen! Protect the Queen! ”
However, after the ant colony was in turmoil, they evacuated in an orderly manner, and they did not dare to approach Yan Nu, so they took a detour.
Strong ants lift up bloated queens, and countless worker ants hold eggs and food before leaving.
Soon, all the ants escaped from the nest.
And Yan Nu finally regained consciousness, came back to his senses, and realized that he had been reincarnated as an ant.
"I'm not an alien, I'm Jiang Yannu."
In the depths of his psyche, the primordial self awakened, and immediately rejected the previous simple thinking and turned into a sub-personality, that is, the 'worker ant thinking'.
Yan Nu's original self has a kind of spiritual cliff, with the characteristic of maintaining the original intention.
The function of reincarnated divinity, which hides it, covers a layer of worker ant thinking.
It in itself does not hinder the ideal of the original self, because the worker ant thinks too simply, and there is only one criterion: to listen to instructions.
But when Yan Nu realizes that the ant colony does not allow him to do anything, only to produce food indefinitely, this provokes his rebellion.
How can this be? He doesn't have peace yet!
The original obsession returned in an instant, but the ant's brain was too small to bear too many memories.
So it took a while to forcibly adapt to the worm brain and remember everything.
At this moment, the brain of this worker ant, although it seems to be very simple, is no longer the same in the dark, no matter what kind of thinking, no matter how huge the memory, can be forcibly accommodated and operated.
"What about my other personalities?"
Yan Nu thought as he crawled out of the lair.
All kinds of abilities are gone, he is very calm, this is not the first time this kind of thing, not to mention the ordinary knife before, just by dying in the underworld before, he has lost all kinds of power of the physical body.
Anyway, his power is a trait, and it's hard to really erase and disappear, and there's always a way to get it back.
No matter how bad it is, re-adapt.
However, many sub-personalities disappeared, which surprised him, wasn't it a reincarnation?
Yan Nu pondered and climbed onto the body of the blood master.
He can't see, he can't hear, he can only sense the outside world through his tentacles.
From the smell and air fluctuations, to the humidity and temperature, you can feel the infinite details of the world......
It's an experience like never before.
Especially all kinds of special signals, which are things that you never knew about as a human being.
And this kind of thing, any living thing, whether it is a plant or an animal, has its own unique signal.
This is a whole new field of knowledge.
"But is this a woman or a man?" There is too little experience and knowledge in the bloodline of the body of the Yan slave ant.
Although ants are extremely capable of perceiving extremely detailed content, they do not give it meaning.
A large number of human signals are marked as indescribable, but simply 'characteristic'.
Together, a number of characteristics represent the person, and then a number of characteristics together represent that person.
In various permutations and combinations, the ant colony can distinguish between different individuals, and its processing ability is extremely powerful, in a sense, the memory ability can be called terrifying.
But what exactly these characteristics are, ants never care.
Giving meaning is the ability of human beings, Yan Nu is thinking, if every signal fragment is given meaning and forms a huge language system, then the thinking ability of the ant colony will not surpass that of humans?
"Whew!" Just as he was thinking about it, the flames suddenly struck.
Instantly scorched the flame slave and curled it up!
"Huh?"
"Burn me with fire?"
Yan Nu immediately realized that it was fire, but he didn't panic at all, clutching the human skin, and quickly adapting to it.
He ran on the human, feeling the changes in his body.
In addition to the small flame stored in the ant's body, in the dark, he also communicated the power of his previous life!
Fire! Boundless sea of fire!
He casually squirted upward, and in an instant, the surging flames shook the sky.
"So this is the awakening?"
"You only need to adapt again, and you can regain the strength you corresponded to in your previous life."
Yan Nu could tell that the flame he had recovered was just a mundane fire.
Like karmic fire, samadhi true fire, sun fire, and divine power fire, I haven't felt it yet.
It seems that it is not the same thing as ordinary fire at all.
But he doesn't care, if there is a way, it's easy to say, if he comes into contact with the corresponding power, he can get it back, it's too simple.
Theoretically, all he had to do was find his sister or Xue'er, because they all had their own complete Dao treasures.
In one breath, you can get it all back. Even if the rules of reincarnation don't allow for the recovery of the power of the previous life, it doesn't matter.
This is the power of the Daozang system, which is essentially in all kinds of backups, as long as the innate ability of 'absolute adaptation' does not disappear, any other ability disappears, and it is not a problem.
"Why hasn't the injury healed yet...... Also, my original ability to heal myself from speeding was given by my sister's Origin Secret Technique. ”
"Anyway, with the wound, I won't die."
The flame slave shook his tentacles and looked vaguely at the indescribable silhouette of a human in front of him.
Thinking about the top priority, how to communicate with humans.
Although the signal exchange of ant colonies is powerful, it is limited to ants.
"Mortal? Don't have a little means of spiritual communication? Whatever you want, I'll be done. ”
"What about the gods? What about the immortals? Why don't you me yet? ”
Yan Nu secretly thought that at this time, a strong man would come to deal with him, and he estimated that he would be able to improve back in minutes.
But no, it seems to be left dry in the wilderness.
It doesn't make sense, those immortals should have found him immediately, why did they hang him?
"Let's get rid of the ants first, I'm obviously awake, and my body is still suppressed......"
Yan Nu crawled towards the ant colony, at this moment, the breath of ants mixed with the breath of humans, extremely mixed.
As soon as he entered the ant colony, there were various signals to command him, and there was class suppression by the queen ant, which frantically stimulated his instinct to obey.
There are also warnings from soldier ants who see him as a threat.
"Purely physical effects?"
Yan Nu's body unconsciously obeyed the queen's direct orders, and he was almost unable to resist.
You know, his 'worker ant thinking' has been switched away, and at the moment he is a pure primordial self, and he can completely ignore this kind of instruction if he is reasonable.
But in fact, Yan Nu's body was still greatly affected, as if under the suppression of this bloodline, consciousness and thinking were meaningless at all.
Of course, that is when consciousness is subjectively lower than instinct.
Yan Nu had a strong mind at the moment, just like a human, and overcame his instinct and walked towards the ant queen strongly.
The ant colony swarmed up and bit to prevent him from getting closer to the queen.
But the flame slave emitted a little heat, and he roasted them to a creeping crawl, and he was like a fire moving forward!
Poof!
Yan Nu spurted blood as he advanced!
This is the blood of the previous symbiosis, and he is an ant with human blood at the moment......
Blood splattered in all directions, infecting the ant colony, and the strong smell masked and confused the signal connection between the ant colony.
"Stop commanding me, big ant!" The flame slave climbed on top of the queen's head and banged her on the head.
The queen swayed, but had no attack power, and could only send signals frantically.
But Yan Nu was not afraid at all, but absorbed this breath and taste.
Then recompiled it a bit and released it!
Not to mention, it was really useful, and at the sound of an order, the ant colony began to give him feedback.
This is the breath of the queen ant class, and the Yan slave lives in the body of a worker ant.
"That's it?"
Yan Nu stood directly on her head and sprayed blood, with the ant breath of human blood, which was extremely unique, and it was a unique sign of Yan Nu at the moment.
This strong breath, mixed with the signal of the queen ant, forced the real queen ant to bow her head.
Even though the queen ant is still struggling, all her struggles are just providing Yan Nu with a stronger and stronger aura of class suppression.
At the same time, Yan Nu felt that his body was undergoing a transformation.
Gradually, the sense of oppression and execution of the body faded and dissipated, and a net-like system of countless ant signals connected and communicated was being formed with him as the center.
Tight and strong, this is the inherent communication network of the ant colony, which is composed of countless signals, and each ant is a signal source.
Originally, the Yan Nu was just a small part of it, but now, he is in the center, even above the queen ant.
But it's not imprinted in the consciousness, it's in the body......
"Ah, it's really a pure blood communication, or there is no spiritual communication ability."
Yan Nu scratched his tentacles, feeling a little tricky. This AC network is very powerful, but now it is too low-end.
He needed a psychic ability now, he could do anything, not only to communicate with humans, but also to be able to add them to the network of signals right away.
Because of his ability to coexist, they will not conflict with each other, and it doesn't matter if they are forcibly used together.
Even the power of the law can be forcibly kneaded to create the Vermilion Bird Fire of the nineteen mysteries of the law, not to mention the function of the ant.
"Where are you going to get mental abilities? What are the immortals doing? ”
Yan Nu thought about it, and suddenly found that those ants that were stained with his blood were not afraid of the flames, but crawled into the firewood.
"Huh? Yes, this blood is symbiotic to me, it is my blood, and I am used to the flames, so naturally this blood is also resistant. ”
"But why can these ants be used?"
Yan Nu hurriedly crawled over to observe, and soon found that these blood contained a strong smell and some unknown signal hormones, which ...... Adaptability too!
The ant colony can swallow and accept the use of this semaphormone, which is its innate ability to take care of the house.
It was parasitized by the adapted blood, and some kind of strange change occurred.
"Xue'er once said that unless you have to, don't let the flesh and blood invade the human body under the condition of resistance, otherwise the flesh and blood with the ability to adapt will adapt wantonly in the human body, which may affect the bloodline and make people mutate unpredictably."
"I've never done this before, and I forgot about it just now."
……
:I'm sorry. I kept vigil at the funeral home for the past two days, and I came back after the funeral yesterday, and I slept until today. Tomorrow is the New Year, and people are dizzy, grass.
