On the front line, countless parasitic creatures launched wave after wave of attacks on the positions of the civilized ant coalition without fear of death.
In the sky and on the ground, the civilized ant coalition used firepower and will to withstand every impact, and killed a large number of parasitic creatures.
Away from the raging battlefield, several secret locations north of Black Creek are where the brains of the parasitic army are located. At this time, a stormy wave is starting from here, setting off in the wireless communication network composed of mycelium!
————
The information from Zhu Jue was passed into the brain of "Parasite Roll". Although the mycelium is the controller, the hyphae can only use the secreted chemicals to control the host. Wisdom requires an organ like the brain, which only the host has. A hybrid organism composed of brain, hyphae and host, its thinking is still carried out in the brain!
A familiar-looking ant appeared in "Parasite Roll"'s mind. It was Zhu Jue. His appearance had not changed at all, but the color of his carapace was noble gold. The whole ant looked resplendent and very beautiful.
"Parasite Roll", "Parasite Lamborui", "Parasite Ramboser" and other old ants that Zhu Jue once knew. As soon as they saw Zhu Jue's image in the message, a storm surged in their minds.
As for what Zhu Jue said, these parasitic brains had completely ignored it. A huge impact was sent from their brains and quickly spread to all nearby parasites along the network composed of countless hyphae.
For a time, the parasitic organisms that were fighting on the front line, the parasitic organisms that had rushed to support from the second line, and even all the parasitic organisms were temporarily out of control.
They are either frozen and motionless, or they are left with only instinct, losing their cooperation, and some even start to kill each other. The battle situation in the frontline position, which originally had a slight advantage, was reversed in an instant.
Zhu Jue and the commanders of various ethnic groups who were remotely directing the battle in the conference room were confused. Suddenly, a lot of good news came from the front line. Today's parasitic army suddenly became vulnerable!
Only Zhu Jue had a vague feeling that maybe it was the message he sent that mortal messenger that caused the chaos in the parasitic army! ?
————
"Parasite Roll" stared at Zhu Jue's appearance in its mind. The messages from the other party kept flooding into its mind, but it didn't pay attention at all and just stared at it!
Why is this happening!
Ants also express emotions. "Brain language" is different from human language embodied in sounds and words. Such emotions are stronger, but the meaning is the same!
Why is this happening!
The golden carapace on Zhu Jue's body stung the compound eyes and hearts of the "parasitic rollers"!
The ant they have been searching for, the ant they were closest to, the ant considered most likely to evolve three times, the potential leader of the future!
He is actually a loser who has already failed!

When parasitic hyphae infect organisms, most of the time it is just a simple relationship between the parasite and the host. The hyphae control the behavior of the host by controlling endocrine, and the physiological characteristics of the host do not change.
However, a small number of hosts will develop a strong resistance reaction when being parasitized, and the body will instinctively resist the invasion of parasitic hyphae.
At this time, the parasitic hyphae will secrete a special substance to suppress the host's resistance. The main principle is to paralyze various organs of the host. The side effect is that the paralyzed organs will be strengthened in the process.
If the host still resists successfully, the hyphae will secrete special substances for the second or even third time. The special substances secreted by the parasitic hyphae exceed the tolerance of the host body, and the host will die quickly.
Eaten successfully suppressed individuals. Most of the other individuals died in this process, unless the parasitic hyphae were successfully removed during this process, and no body functions were harmed to survive, but there was not one such creature in a million.
The suppressed host also received some benefits from it, and was transformed by special substances in the process.
This special substance shows a golden color. If the host's resistance comes from the brain, which is mental resistance, then this special substance will mainly accumulate in the host's brain, which will greatly improve the host's intelligence level and increase its brain capacity. Added, but nothing else changed in appearance!
And if the host's resistance is an instinctive reaction of other body organs, then the special substance is just accumulated in the host's carapace, joints, muscles and internal organs, then the host's appearance will appear light golden, its strength and physical fitness will increase, and its IQ will increase. But there was no improvement.
For a large group of parasitic organisms, powerful individuals are very common. Even parasitic ants modified by envoy materials are no match for a parasitic beetle.
On the contrary, individuals with enhanced intelligence are even rarer. They will become the brain, command center, and computing core of the entire parasite swarm, using their own wisdom to control the activities of the entire insect swarm.
Although parasitic mycelium is a kind of group intelligent life, the host where the most intelligent individual is located naturally has an advantage and will suppress the hyphae on other hosts, thereby prohibiting the entire insect colony.
Parasites with evolved brains are very rare. They are often hosts with already strong wills. During the process of being infected, they experienced two rounds of painful suppression by special substances. First, the body's instinctive resistance, and then the brain's still unyielding resistance, twice. Evolve and emerge without dying.
Those who were suppressed after their first physical resistance were all first-time evolvers with a light golden appearance. Most were ants, and there were also a few insect beasts.
As for the secondary evolvers, they are all ants at present, and there are no other creatures. This may be because the intelligence of ants in this world is far ahead, and the brain capacity of other creatures cannot support the brain's resistance consciousness.
However, the three evolvers passed down from generation to generation in the collective memory of hyphae have not yet appeared. The most likely candidate is Zhu Jue, who has outstanding wisdom.
Wisdom is the most critical factor supporting the number of evolutions, evolutionary affinity, and evolutionary success rate! Zhu Jue's wisdom is currently recognized by all parasitic brains.
This is also the reason why the parasitic army launched an attack at all costs after discovering the traces of Zhu Jue and the New God Envoy King's army.
What attracted them was Zhu Jue himself, or rather Zhu Jue's body!
But! Now! Judging from Zhu Jue's appearance, he had clearly undergone purification, but it only evolved once and it was over. There was not even a second evolution, let alone three evolutions!
Without the leader who evolved three times, the Purifier Legion would not be able to compete with its destined enemy!
Emotions such as panic, disappointment, fear, and resentment fill the minds of "parasitic rolls" and other parasitic brains, and these emotions become more violent under the influence of hormones secreted by hyphae.
For a moment, these parasitic brains ignored that the appearance of Zhu Jue was completely different from those of those who evolved once - Zhu Jue's golden color was deeper and there was no hyphae on his body!
