The continuously sinking wreckage No. 1 is getting closer and closer to the "heart" of the lava bottom, which is the lowest level of the Vulcan ant nest, where the queen ant is located.
Perhaps it's a coincidence, but the core area of the Vulcan Ant's nest does look like a huge heart. Most of its structure is embedded in the ground and is completely exposed in the lava. It is about 20 meters high and is rising and falling due to the violent stratigraphic activity. It is really like the expansion and contraction of a living heart.
Moreover, there are six thick "pipes" connected to it, and dark red "blood" is injected into it all the time. Although the color of these "bloods" is similar to that of lava, it is not confusing because the active flowing luster is difficult to cover even with layers of lava.
Ronan was still thinking about the lava attack that shattered No. 1 into pieces. The psychic induction network permeating the lava was slightly focused under his command, sweeping from the "heart" and from inside and outside the ant chamber structures that continued to sink:
"Liquid lava can achieve 'hammering', which shows that it is very skilled in control. However, it is not like that it can consciously interfere with the surrounding environment. There should still be a medium... Vulcan ants can not only control living bodies, Even lava can be controlled, the working mechanism here seems a bit familiar!"
Such a wonderful operating mode obviously does not appear in normal information. Ronan quickly found out the clue: "It's in the instruction manual. It seems to be mentioned in the materials chapter... huh?"
The underground lava shook again.
At first Ronan thought it was another release of the Vulcan Ants' collective consciousness. But he soon confirmed that this change was not caused by the consciousness of the Vulcan Ant, but it was inseparable from it.
In the twisting whirlpool of the void in the Abyss and the molten hell, a certain structure with special significance was soaked in the energy leakage from both sides. It silently shaped and grew. Now it has become a climate. In a shock, it was shattered. The already fragile stratum was pulled up against the "heart" of the Vulcan ant nest, against the boiling lava.
It was a stubby stone pillar. Even if it sprouted and eventually grew, it would only be about one meter high. Next to the huge Vulcan ant nest that occupies almost the entire mountain and hundreds of meters of strata, it is simply insignificant, like a mole on a human body, which can be ignored in a matter of seconds.
But just as the stone pillar was being pulled up, the turbulent whirlpool that was twisting and wrestling in the void, entangled and silted, suddenly became fixed.
At this moment, Ronan has not yet determined what kind of exciting changes there will be in the collective consciousness of the Vulcan Ants. But for Ronan himself, he felt that the "floating power generation platform" with Morun at the helm, drifting up and down in the huge waves, suddenly set a huge anchor.
The anchor end hit the bottom of the sea. Although it was shaking greatly and even brought a more severe impact to the "floating platform", it still penetrated deep into the soil and was anchored on the hard seabed. That's not all. At this moment, another heavy and solid foundation fell from the platform, wedged straight into the depths of the turbulent whirlpool. One, two, three, four...
In the "heart" of the Vulcan Ant nest, thick and short stone pillars were pulled up one after another, just like the "pile foundations" that had been knocked down.
As soon as some "pile foundations" were explored, the violent Vulcan ants' consciousness wrapped around the lava and smashed them into pieces; but there were also "pile foundations" that were fixed deeply or shallowly; and then were pulled up, broken, and wedged again. Enter it and smash it into pieces!
After repeated back and forth, I can't tell which one is more tenacious. But no matter what, the "floating platform" never escaped from the storm vortex, but was fixed in this area, forming a stalemate.
This is also the most terrifying stage of consumption.
No matter how superb Morun's fighting consciousness is, it is just a B-class puppet, and its own energy reserves are limited. In any case, it is impossible to compete head-on with the Vulcan Ants that occupy the advantage of the terrain.
Therefore, it can only rely on its own master, Ronan's closed system.
There is no doubt that this is the collision of two systems.
After the first wave passed, Ronan was very nervous.
In a sense, Ronan's soul power reserve is unparalleled in the world. This is not only because of the huge output of his closed system large production line, but also because he can ignore the carrying capacity of the physical body and extend the storage almost infinitely in the form of a soul cloak.
With the soul cloak currently covering almost the entire world, plus the combined reserves of the boundless cloud world, Ronan's stamina is so long that it can surpass almost all practitioners in the world - perhaps only the heads of the three secret sects can rely on their huge The base of believers can compete with it.
The only thing that can limit Ronan is his physical carrying capacity. Although he has the boundless sea, his own capacity is limited after all. Even if he is drained instantly, it will only be the water storage capacity of a lake.
Regardless of the shock and impact of doing so, just the transformation is destined to lead to faults one after another, which is very fatal in the tense stalemate.
If the opponent is a genuine transcendent, Ronan's life will almost be at stake when the first fault appears.
The Vulcan Ant's group consciousness is not so sharp, and it cannot sense Ronan's flaws. But even so, under the impact of the crazy and violent wrestling, Ronan in the simulation chamber seemed to have turned into a twisted towel, with all his muscles The juice from the pork belly is almost squeezed out.
If this situation continues, Ronan has spent all his efforts to dig a sinkhole for himself, and he can definitely compete for the top three on the list of the stupidest in the world's 50-year history.
Fortunately, his enemy, although using millions of individuals to gather a group consciousness, has not developed to a qualified and perfect level. Not only did he not discover the problems exposed by Ronan, he also revealed an even bigger loophole.
Just like the venting impact earlier, the group consciousness of the Vulcan Ants does not know how to properly utilize its own power, nor does it understand that this power will inevitably hurt others and itself after it exceeds a certain limit.
If it were Ronan, when the soul power consumed in an instant exceeded his own carrying limit, under normal circumstances, he would never forcefully break through this limit, exchanging endless troubles for temporary pleasure.
The Vulcan Ant does not have this awareness. In its simple thinking, using its own talents to drive away enemies is of course the top priority. But at this stage, facing Morun, who is like nothingness and smoke, and No. 1, which has turned into a pile of mechanical wreckage, the so-called driving ability has no place to be used, so it can only settle for the second best, and the use is not enough. Complete secondary abilities to knock down enemies.
In the environment of the volcanic area, the upper limit of the Vulcan Ant's secondary abilities is also very high, and there is almost no shortage of stamina. In this case, its idea is simpler - if the enemy is not knocked down, the strength must be increased again until the enemy is beaten into powder.
There is a basis in reality, and this kind of thinking cannot be wrong, but it does not take into account one thing: Who will be destroyed first in such a big fight in one's own hometown?
"It's not me anyway." Ronan was grinning, using the guidance technique given to him by the bishop of the monastery to relax his muscles and reduce injuries. At the same time, it also captures the turning point of this confrontation in the stalemate.
He does not need to wait for the Vulcan ants to smash his nest to pieces, he only needs to keep an eye on this single-minded group consciousness, where the conflict between the two instincts of "killing the enemy" and "self-preservation" intersects and leads to deeper chaos. That moment.
The turning point arrived faster than Ronan imagined, but it was also after all the ant chambers in the huge cavity above the lava collapsed.
Vulcan ants falling into magma will not die immediately, but every ant chamber and connected pipe is the foundation of the Vulcan ant colony, and is an important construction foundation and energy source for group consciousness.
When "large areas of necrosis" continued to appear and spread, the originally complete energy circulation was blocked, and this single-line group consciousness finally showed hesitation and confusion.
It was at this moment that the real enemy, which had already crossed the border from another time and space and lurked here, showed its fangs to this Vulcan ant colony.
The moment of hesitation and confusion expanded into a devastating storm in the blink of an eye.
The magic talisman burst out from the extreme realm, like a bomb filled with venom, crashing into the group consciousness structure that the Vulcan ant colony had finally formed.
Ronan knows better than most people in the world how strict the structural requirements of a clearly directed group consciousness are.
The group consciousness of the Vulcan ant society finally managed to neutralize itself from the chaotic and ethereal spiritual current. A small part of it penetrated into the abyss and was able to integrate power from a higher level. However, because of this fatal bombing of the magic talisman, the structure collapsed and the foundation was corroded, causing the building of group consciousness that originally had a certain order to fall apart in an instant.
It should be said that as long as there is a nest and the strict social structure of Vulcan ants, it is not difficult to reshape the group consciousness. Since records began, the Vulcan ant colony in the volcanic area has been penetrated by powerful men from all walks of life more than five times. Each time it was a major crisis that nearly overturned the entire clan, and even the queen was captured. The most recent time was six or seven years ago, not counting the aftermath of Jin Buhuan's earth-shattering war. But in just a few years, the Vulcan Ant colony has grown to its current size and is still one of the top overlords in this volcanic area.
The tenacity of the Vulcan ant colony is admirable, but the problem is that as the "venom bomb" that instantly knocks down the core structure of the Vulcan ant society, it is the magic talisman.
This dark side species is using its incredible talent to pour "poisonous spores" into the ruins of the core structure. and began to multiply rapidly.
Vulcan ants started out by controlling other living creatures, and this time they met the real masters in this field.
As for the magic talisman itself, after a successful attack, he jumped again, escaped into the depths of the extreme realm, and used his cold six-color pupils to capture the next more deadly fighter opportunity.
