Chapter 52: Hidden Mission: Choice
Spiritual space, an island in the lake.
After the initial novelty passed, the queen ant quickly regained her indifference and began to ask Xu Yue about the details of this mental space.
"What is this outer gray fog? It makes me feel bad. ”
"That's the border."
"Boundary?"
"Yes, untouchable, untouchable borders."
"Before explaining this, Her Majesty must first understand the principle of the birth of the mental space, which is not the brain space in the conventional sense, the spiritual world, but something more complex and essential."
"It is a reflection of the real world, the manifestation of the essence of the soul, the creation of the mind and mind, everything here is inseparable from our memories, cognition, emotions, current situation and other aspects, it is a collection of deep subconscious."
"According to the theory of building a house, the soul is the foundation and carrier, the spiritual power is the masonry and consumables, and the projection of the real world is the initial drawing of all this."
"In terms of simple division, this mental space can be roughly divided into three parts: order, disorder, and connection."
As he spoke, Xu Yue glanced at the various scenes of the space in detail again before continuing to explain.
"First of all, the island that carries our spiritual body, together with its outer sea, is an orderly part of the mental space dominated by reason, but with different symbolic meanings, so they can all be touched, changed, and appear so real, because they themselves represent the orderly and controllable aspects of thinking."
As soon as Xu Yue's voice fell, the queen ant had already started the experiment directly, and as her thoughts turned, a small mountain rose rapidly beside her, and then the mountain continued to rise, and the giant turtle carrying the mountain broke free from the ground.
The giant tortoise stepped on the ground on all fours, raised its head and hissed, the air waves triggered by the roar expanded violently, the green space under his feet set off layers of ripples, and Xu Yue's clothes were also hunting under the hurricane.
In the next second, the giant tortoise collapsed into a male ant flapping its membranous wings in the sky, and finally turned into countless white points of light and fell down.
The queen, who maintained her normal human form, stood in the scattered starlight, her eyebrows slightly raised.
"It's roughly the same as the way the illusion is constructed, but the authenticity is stronger, and permanent solidification shouldn't be a problem, the only flaw is that it consumes a lot of money, and the load on the spirit is heavier, especially the creation of living creatures, and the rest of the difficulty is average......"
Listening to the muttering of the queen ant, Xu Yue's eyelids on the side jumped, just this hand, although he could barely do it, but whether it was the degree of detail or fluency, it would be greatly reduced compared to it, and the queen ant had just come into contact with the spiritual space now.
However, after thinking of the other party's memory inheritance after more than 30 generations, as well as the magical spiritual illusion, it is not difficult to understand why he can be so proficient, compared to the long time of the queen ant, his ability to contact the psychic system is not more than a year.
Eliminating the superfluous distractions in his mind, Xu Yue coughed lightly, and after attracting the queen's attention again, he continued to speak:
"Beyond the orderly rational part, that is, this gray mist in the outermost part of the space, they are the representative of the disordered part of the mind, composed of countless mixed and disordered thoughts and thoughts, which will instinctively devour any rational thinking structure."
"They are like a pool of muddy water covered with mud and dirt, and will never settle down, any clear water mixed into it, will be quickly polluted and assimilated, so they are the boundaries of reason, stay away is my only advice, if you can, weave your own spiritual dam as soon as possible, this is the process that must be passed......"
As he listened, a flying male ant crossed the border under the control of the queen ant and invaded into the gray mist, but in a short moment, the male ant had exploded straight away, and the ethereal mist disappeared without a trace.
Glancing at the queen ant whose complexion changed slightly, Xu Yue didn't make any comments on this, but just moved his gaze upwards to look at the bright sun at the dome and the blue starry sky behind him.
"Next is the most important connection, and it is also the main channel for the mental space to exert its effect on the outside world, the gorgeous sea of stars overhead, if there is no miscalculation, each blue star represents the mental body of an ant clan, as long as they are your heirs, then they must be within the scope of the sea of stars."
"Through the sea of stars, you can connect and control the heirs more deeply, and even if necessary, you can forcibly open up the mental space of the corresponding heirs through this connection, and complete the seizure and occupation through transformation and grafting."
"Under the absolute suppression of the bloodline, this series of operations should not be difficult for you, of course, this is just an estimate, although the principle is very different, but the specific operation will definitely not be so simple, the rest of the rest can only rely on the crown to explore by himself, after all, I have not implemented such operations."
"Enough, I can feel the call of the blood on every star, this space is really close to the power of the essence of the mind, and I can see the operation principle of all the psychic abilities such as 'psychic communication', 'psychic illusion', and 'psychic web'......"
As she spoke, the queen looked up at the starry sky of the dome, her eyes full of confusion, a kind of supreme satisfaction as if she had seen the truth.
After a long time, she broke away from that state of longing, and looked sideways at the more conspicuous bright sun in the sky, and she asked with some confusion:
"If the sea of stars is connected, then this sun is?"
"All things in the spiritual space have their own unique symbolic meanings, for different individuals, there will be different unique changes, this round of the sun is obviously unique to the crown, in terms of its essence, it is very likely that the spiritual memory that has been passed down for more than 30 generations."
Also looking up at the round of bright sun, Xu Yue guessed with some uncertainty, after all, there was no such thing in his mental space.
Sideways, after listening to Xu Yue's reply, the queen bowed her head slightly in approval, and then turned her head to look at this human ally who was constantly refreshing her cognition, and her tone was extremely sincere.
"I have to say, Your Excellency, you have brought me a great surprise, from this moment on, you have won the highest friendship of the ant clan, and all the people of my clan will follow in your footsteps and carry out the extremely arrogant god-killing plan together, no matter the sacrifice."

………
As soon as the queen's words fell, a large number of paradise prompts were immediately brushed out, his eyes swept over the task information marked in the prompts, Xu Yue's eyes flashed, he had already expected that the hidden task would be activated, with the strength and background of the sea god, once this task is completed, the benefits will definitely be beyond imagination.
After all, according to the comparison of normal combat power, all the trialists on the island are all combined, and it is estimated that they are not enough for the sea god to fight with one hand, and the disparity in strength is too great, if it were not for Xu Yue to take the initiative to excavate, this task would not be delegated to the trialists at all.
As for the camp choices required in the mission, there are only two kinds, one is to cooperate and win like the ant clan, and the other is to forcibly subdue and act as cannon fodder, and want to kill the gods, then the strength of the ant clan alone is far from enough, just the guard lake outside the temple is enough to consume the ant clan.
"Very well, then it's time to discuss how to deal with the sleeping sea god, the queen ant."
"Of course, we have plenty of time."
…………
Outside, the Ant's Nest Hall.
As the eyes of one big and one small opened, Xu Yue withdrew his right hand, which was still attached to the queen's forehead, and flapped his wings and flew from the throne to the center of the hall.
The scale boots landed, he looked up at the giant white jade statue above, he was used to seeing the humanoid state of the queen ant in the mental space, and now that he saw the body again, he was a little uncomfortable for a while.
The wings behind him dissipated, Xu Yue recalled the strategic plan set in the mental space not long ago, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, are you sure that as long as you capture the queen bee, you can completely capture her mind?"
The corners of the queen's mouth lifted on the throne, and her slightly narrowed eyes were full of malice.
"Rest assured, the mental manipulation of the queen bee began to be studied as early as the twenty-second queen ant, and when I didn't open the mental space, my success rate was only about eighty percent, and now I can definitely guarantee that it will be foolproof."
"The guard lake on the periphery of the temple is not so easy to clean, the forces of the three clans must be united, the Yu clan will lobby on the side, as long as it is not directly against the sea god, they will agree, but the two ends of the bee clan, cooperation is never advisable, only by capturing the queen bee, we can fully control the entire bee clan."
"Your flame ability and psychic protection ability are absolute restraint on the bee clan, as long as you grasp the right time, it is completely possible to capture the queen bee alive, I have informed the whole clan, you will officially become the general of the ant clan, and you can command and dispatch all the individuals of the ant clan."
"There are five days left before the Poseidon Plague, and the bees will be eliminated in three days, and then a general attack on the central temple can be launched."
The queen's words echoed in the hall for a long time, and after Xu Yue closed his eyes and thought for a moment, he finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, in three days, I'll bring the queen back to the nest."
For the argument that the bees are not cooperative, this must contain a lot of selfishness of the queen ant, he knows it, but he doesn't care, he is actually more inclined to conquer than to cooperate with the bees.
Not to mention that the feud between the two bee and ant clans is difficult to reconcile, just to say that the bee tide army that was almost slaughtered by him not long ago has basically cut off the possibility of cooperation between the two sides, and the bee clan's 'overclocking vision' He has never forgotten that there is no possibility of learning this ability, and it is the only channel to explode.
Now with the intelligence and military support of the ant clan, he is completely sure of catching the queen bee alive in the event of a surprise.
"Your Majesty, don't forget the reward you just promised, I'll start preparing to deal with the bees tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Xu Yue turned around and walked towards the gate, and the queen's slightly smiling tone came from behind him.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, our allies, now we are all honored, naturally we will not be sloppy, the spar and high-quality metal will be sent soon, ant honey you can dispatch at will, as for the 'Psychic Communication', I will transform it into a version based on the psychic space within three days, and then even if you are a human, you can use it flexibly."
"You can deal with the bee clan with peace of mind, I will send Xuan Du to your adjutant, the overall strength of the bee clan should not be underestimated, don't take it lightly."
"The next time we see you, you'll see the queen bee under the queen's crown."
As the words fell, the stone door in front of him slowly opened, and in the loud sound of 'squeak', Xu Yue stepped out, and was greeted by the male ants who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Your Highness General, all the supplies you need have been prepared."
"Just send it to my room."
"Yes!"
…………
Behind him, as the stone door closed again, the sound of conversation was also cut out.
In the silence, the queen ant in the hall crouched on the throne, slowly closing her eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep.
At the same time, somewhere in the stone room in the ant nest, a female ant's eyes suddenly opened, and the eyes were full of light, but the inside flashed with the light of her heart that did not belong to her, which was the light of the queen ant.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar hands in front of her, her eyes revealed extremely blazing ambition.
"As long as the sea god is solved, the ant clan will have a new and infinite future, and I will become the greatest queen ant, a god who belongs only to the ant clan itself......"
"Whatever it takes!"
…………
Ant nest, after more than ten minutes of walking, Xu Yue returned to the room where he lived before, and after shaking off the overly enthusiastic torture, he closed the stone door and looked back, the current room was a few hours ago, and there were a lot of more items.
The stone table was littered with shiny colorless crystals, two large snakeskin water bags and a fist-sized black token sat beside it, and in the corner of the room, a hill of metal ingots that took up half of the space was neatly stacked.
"Tsk, that's pretty generous."
His eyes swept over these extra things one by one, Xu Yue sighed lightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.
First of all, it is the soul crystal with the highest value, after counting it carefully, there are as many as ten, and all of them are soul crystals (medium), if it is just the merit of burning the Bee Tide Legion, it is definitely not worth so many quantities, most of them are the overtures of the queen ant, in terms of treating allies, the ant clan does spare no effort.
Of course, with the history of the ant clan that has been inherited for hundreds of years, the number of soul crystals in the warehouse must be more than that, but the relationship between Xu Yue and the ant clan is only cooperation, not vassal, and the other party naturally cannot give it all to him.
The real big head is still in the bee clan, as long as the queen bee is successfully captured alive within three days, then is the time for wanton plunder, the ant clan only needs the queen bee, as for other items, Xu Yue can choose at will.
Quenching the greed surging in his heart, he looked at the hedron piled up on the table, the volume of ten soul crystals (middle), with his small waist bag, it would definitely not be able to hold, after thinking about it, he took out the magic mirror again, activated the connection, and threw the spar worth millions of paradise coins along with the water bladder on the table.
"Inside the water bladder is ant honey that can strengthen the body and health, drink it before the end of the trial, and keep the soul crystals safely."
"Ah Fu obeys, sir!"
Hearing the reply from the magic mirror, Xu Yue instructed a few more words, then stopped transmitting mana and put the magic mirror that had changed back to its original state back into his pocket.
So far, Ah Fu's backpack has been filled with treasure chests, equipment, soul crystals and other high-quality items, the value is even far higher than one million paradise coins, once he loses it, he will have to die, and he can't be reminded a few more times.
After processing the soul crystal, Xu Yue picked up the huge water bladder nearly half a meter long beside him and took a sip, listening to the [HP Permanent +4] prompt sound ringing in his ears, he lowered his eyes and looked at the black token on the table.
