Chapter 21 Mass Extinction of Ant Colony

really
Yuan Shi murmured softly
These insects are still very adaptable. When the environment changes, they will naturally evolve adaptively.

Moreover, perhaps it is because the entire ant colony is integrated into the conscious energy field environment and is subconsciously affected by the collective consciousness.

The life span of the entire ants is rapidly shortening, or accelerating, including the ant eggs, which will hatch into young ants, grow, grow old, and die in a very short period of time.

Almost just a day or two, most of the worker ants will go through the entire life process.

Based on Yuan Shi's observations, including the growth of their consciousness and vitality, their thoughts and actions, the passage of life, etc., will probably be accelerated by more than ten times.

As for the occurrence of this change, in addition to the rapid growth of the force field of consciousness and the equally rapid growth of consciousness, the entire ant colony is naturally growing rapidly, and the food it consumes is naturally growing rapidly.

"Well, the daily consumption of these ant colonies is almost as much as that of a human being.

Moreover, there are too many ant colonies now.”

Looking at the dense ant colony that occupied half of the living room in front of him, Yuan Shi couldn't help but frown.

As the ant colony reproduces and grows, it will naturally breed more consciousness and vitality.

But if there are too many, it will also be a trouble for Yuan Shi today.

Looking at the growing ant colony, Yuan Shi thought carefully for a while and decided to fix the food intake in the future and only feed one adult's food a day.

As for the consumption of the ant colony, what does that have to do with Yuan Shi?
Moreover, under normal circumstances, when food is insufficient, the queen ant and the ant colony itself will also adjust themselves.

However, things always take some unexpected turns.

This is the case under normal circumstances, but under abnormal circumstances, some problems may occur.

Another morning when he woke up, he stared blankly at the hazy sky outside the window. Yuan Shi rubbed his face vigorously. His face had not been washed for two or three days, so he cheered up and got up.

After entering the living room, Yuan Shi's first sight was where the ant colony was.

After all, he has nothing else to do now. Apart from strengthening his consciousness every day and thinking about which part of his body to refine next, he just observes the ant colony he has raised in order to relieve boredom. time.

In fact, there is nothing else to do now.

However, at this glance, Yuan Shi's eyes gradually widened. The entire consciousness force field was dark and dead, and there was no longer the scene of ants climbing around before.

Involuntarily, Yuan Shi walked forward quickly, looking intently into the force field of consciousness origin.

The ant colony seemed to have experienced a brutal fight. Countless ants died, with their heads and tails missing, and their stumps scattered everywhere, covering the entire ground of the consciousness energy field.

The emergence of this situation immediately caused Yuan Shi's expression to change drastically, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"Damn it! Damn it! What happened? Why are they all dead?"

Involuntarily, Yuan Shi came closer again and lowered his head to check carefully to see if anyone survived.

"His uncle, it's so damn dark, is it really hard to find it?"

Looking at the dark and dense ant corpses, Yuan Shi couldn't help but feel dizzy. Finding some living ants among them was really not an easy task.

A long time passed, and Yuan Shi didn't see any living ants.

"Is it possible that they are all dead?"

Yuan Shi murmured in a low voice with an ugly face.

This is something he cultivated with great difficulty, and it has been more than 20 days now.

If they all die at once, it will take more than 20 days to cultivate them again.

Moreover, if he cultivates it again, can he really be sure that the new ant colony can adapt and evolve again to what it is now?
"Oh~, you should pay more attention. What happened that night? Why did they all die?
Eh~?Eh! .”

Complaining in a low voice again and again, Yuan Shi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the force field of consciousness that was still maintained, and a thought quickly emerged in his mind.

Are you stupid? The foundation for the existence of this consciousness force field is the countless ants in the ant colony.

Since it still exists now, does it mean that there must be many ants alive?

Moreover, there is also a collective consciousness in the force field of consciousness, which carries the memory and cognition of all ants. If he wants to know what happened at night, can't he just check it directly through the collective consciousness?
Why bother thinking here?

Just to check whether there are still ants alive, can we also check through collective consciousness?
Really! .
"Snapped!"

Yuan Shi slapped his forehead fiercely and cursed himself, he was so stupid!
After understanding this, Yuan Shi naturally did not hesitate. With just a thought, he took over everything in the force field of consciousness.

"Hmm~?!"

What first caught Yuan Shi's attention was not the information in the collective consciousness of the ant colony, but the strong consciousness energy that pervaded the force field of consciousness.

Countless ants died, and a large amount of consciousness energy escaped, filling the consciousness energy field.

Even now, among the densely packed ant corpses, there is still a large amount of conscious energy escaping.

"Ha ha!"

Scanning through these, Yuan Shi couldn't help but chuckle, even though he had expected it and was worried about the massive death of the ant colony. This was really a great harvest.

The small half of the living room was filled with consciousness and vitality, which was far beyond what Yuan Shi had achieved during this period of practice.

Yuan Shi just made a rough estimate and felt that it was at least five times higher than his cultivation. If the ant corpses were also included in the consciousness energy that was still dissipating, why would there be another two or three times more? many.

However, Yuan Shi only glanced at it and focused his attention on the collective consciousness of the ant colony.

The consciousness energy is in the consciousness energy force field, and he will not run away. Naturally, he can collect it whenever he wants. Now, Yuan Shi still has to think about figuring out what happened and why the ant colony was caused. Massive deaths.

Pieces of information and pieces of history quickly appeared in Yuan Shi's mind.
Gradually, Yuan Shi then figured out the whole story.

In the final analysis, the reason why the ant colonies appeared to kill each other and died in large numbers, the problem still appeared on Yuan Shi.

First of all, the queen of the ant colony had existed for many years before she was captured and assimilated by Yuan Shi, and she did not have many years left to live.

Coupled with Yuan Shi's life acceleration using consciousness energy, the queen ant soon reached the end of her life.
