Colony consciousness, also known as colony thinking, or colony consciousness.
This consciousness is a kind of collective thinking that is often seen in Blue Star's various science fictions.
Creatures with colony consciousness are group life.
In this group, each independent individual has its own thinking consciousness, but their thinking consciousness is not independent, sometimes even imperfect.
Above them, there is a stronger consciousness that controls them, like a king.
And this supreme thinking that controls all independent individual thinking consciousness is swarm consciousness.
In many of Blue Star's science fiction works about the Zerg, the engulfing Zerg is considered a colony-thinking life, and their supreme thinking is their mother.
And when Eve looked at the corpses of the crypt spiders, he found some similar features.
Unlike other independent creatures, these crypt spiders do not have complete souls. Their souls are unformed and technically unable to support the normal functioning of a living body independently.
This shows that above them, there is another, more powerful consciousness or soul that controls them.
And when these crypt spiders entered Eve's kingdom, all contact with the outside world was completely cut off.
Their own mutilated souls cannot survive normally.
So... ...after struggling for a moment, they themselves naturally break down and die.
Not only that, but as these crypt spiders struggle, Eve can even faintly sense a distant place, seemingly unknown, trying to send some kind of thought signal to reconnect with them ... ...
And the direction of that signal is located in Ravendale !
It's just that it's clear that the other side can't break through the obstacles of the kingdom of God and it fails.
"So these crypt spiders do have a stronger being, or individual, behind them. I'm afraid the last consciousness I felt was it, a little like the Zerg Mother!
Eve's heart moved.
At this point, he also understands why Meliel the Black Dragon is reluctant to help players deal with the Crypt Spider.
This chicken thief's colored "silver dragon" must have learned the secret of the crypt spider.
It may have known that the giant spider in the middle of silver was just a minion, and behind them, there was a presence that even the little black dragon would not provoke !
Myrill, it seems, isn't stupid either.
" the spider mother?"
Eve developed a hint of interest.
If it's true that the mother who controls so many crypt spiders, I'm afraid it's not weak ... ...
At least... ...the golden class must be there !
Eve fell into meditation.
But then again, how did these crypt spiders come to His kingdom ?
Um... by the way, he just accepted the players' request for sacrifice.
To offer... ...a request for sacrifice.
Eve : ... ...
He faintly guessed what might have been going on.
Thinking of this, Eve absorbs all the remaining life force in these crypt spiders, and then sinks into consciousness, finds the player who has just prayed for, and throws himself into the other side's vision ... ...
Soon, he saw the image in the eyes of the player Hulu.
Ravendale, the entrance to the underworld.
Deep underground world caves, at this moment already become empty, can see the deeper underground scenery faintly, no more a crypt spider ... ...
Four players are surrounded by a huge sacrifice array not far from the cave, looking excited.
"Damn ! The box lunch was huge, and it really worked!"
"Oh, my God ! Sacrifice a big guy, plus more than a hundred minions, the system actually gave us 1000 points of contribution!
"Hahahaha... really sacrificed the boss, hahaha... ...the original can still play like this!"
"Great, later meet the boss that can not beat, they sacrifice!"
"Hahahaha, the goddess sister's sacrifice array is really omnipotent!"
"Low-key... low-key... that's our killer in the future!"
"Ha ha ha ! If we don't like any monster, we'll sacrifice it to the goddess!"
"Don't get too excited ! Perhaps not all living things can be sacrificed."
"Hahaha, anyway... we can't beat the monster, there must be good things on our body, and there must be good things, the sacrifice of the Dharma Array must swallow, what are you worried about?"
"Sighing... ...you seem to have a point in saying that!"
The players discussed excitedly, as if they had discovered a new world.
And the nightingale hiding by the side is stunned :
"I can't believe... I can't believe that the sacrifice was successful..."
"Wait a minute... ...someone was killed by a spider ! Aren't you sad?"
She's a little messy.
Don't worry, Miss Nightingale. We'll come back to life. The dead guy is probably in the Chosen City now. Look, is his body still there?"
"Ha ha ha, you'll see him when you get back to the city!"
The other players laughed.
Nightingale : ... ...
She froze, looked at the direction of the array, found the body of the elf warrior really disappeared, only a piece of blood ... ...
" it's... it's really gone."
She muttered in shock.
"Wait... ...he's not being sacrificed too?"
The face of the elf maiden suddenly paled.
"Ha ha ha ! No, the sacrifice of the Dharma Array does not eat players. Someone has tried it before.
The other players replied.
Nightingale : ... ...
Soon, however, her face was filled with doubt, and she muttered :
"Those sacrificed spiders are really good fertilizer ? Do you need fertilizer under the crown of the mother god? "
Eve : ... ...
What the hell is fertilizer ?
What kind of strange knowledge are the players transmitting ?
He's got a look.
However, when seeing the huge sacrificial array on the ground, Eve also confirmed the speculation.
Sure enough, the players sacrificed !
He's a little laugh and cry.
God knows, Eve's Dharma Array, which was originally just to let the believers sacrifice God's blood to Him, will be played by players like this.
They sacrificed the monster they were going to beat !
Should I say that players are really a bunch of creatures who are used to looking for bugs in the game ?
From the beginning of the junk, to the present sacrifice of monsters boss......
Wait a minute. They're not going to sacrifice living things every day after that ?
He imagines a group of living creatures being thrown into their own kingdom every day, and then running around the kingdom ... ...
Eve : ... ...
No, no, no. This loophole needs to be closed.
Although the life and death of the creatures sacrificed to the kingdom of God are in Eve's control, and he can even spare all the life force of the sacrifice, the risk is too great.
Because once this opening is opened, the players are expected to not stop.
I'm afraid they'll find a way to sacrifice each other as soon as they meet a difficult enemy ... ...
If it's a successful sacrifice, Eve will accept it.
But if the sacrifice fails and exposes the sacrifice to the enemy, who happens to be Eve's hostile forces, his existence will be completely exposed ... ...
The Sacrifice Array acts on the body of the true God, and as a tree of the world, Eve's Sacrifice Array has its own lines, which can be seen by anyone who knows what to do.
And... it's like cheating, and it's not conducive to the growth of players, and it's not conducive to their image among believers.
To accept the sacrifice of living things !...that's the talent of evil gods !
Generally speaking, new gods who have become regular do not accept living sacrifices.
It's a respect for life, a rule of the true gods of the Segways since ancient times.
Otherwise, everyone's playing a live festival, and the whole Segway world would be in a mess.
Eve thought, already having the idea of patching.
And at this point, the discussion among players continues.
"Wait a minute. In that case, why don't we go back to the mine ? There are so many crypt spiders in their nests, and if we sacrifice them all... ...what contribution would it have to be! "
There is a player in the heart of a move, and the idea in the underground nest.
Listening to his words, the eyes of the other players are deliberately moved.
Even the boxed lunch is a sight to behold.
Sacrifice a metal spider leg, and the game system only contributes 5 points to the poor.
Generally speaking, players will choose to give the spider legs to the elf npc.
Because if you help in the forge shop, the elf forgeer Carlos will promise the player to make this spider leg into a tough arrow, and sell it to other shooters players can sell 15-20 points of contribution !
Even if it's sold to Carlos himself, he'll give the player 10 points !
But... ...the crypt spiders in that nest, I'm afraid there will be thousands.
Ten thousand crypt spiders, one spider has eight legs, one leg for sacrifice is 5 points contribution ... ...
It's all sacrificed. That's 400, 000 points of contribution !
Not counting the legs of the larger spiders, which contribute more, and the ! of the giant spiders.
If we draw them all out, we sacrifice them all ... ...
Hearing ... ...
How much contribution !
Oh, my God. It's not a dream in a gold suit !
"Damn ! It feels like we're going to be rich!"
All the players responded, and they looked excited.
"Is there enough paint for drawing the array?"
" and quite a few..."
Boxed lunch clenched fists, patted thighs, made a decision :
" dry!"
When he finished, he looked at the nightingale :
"You go back first, and it's going to be dangerous. You can't take you with you."
The tone, there's no doubt.
With that, he turned around with a group of people, and ran to the underground mine ... ...
Seeing suddenly excited, the boxed lunch and other Chosen Ones running, the nightingale was stunned.
She stomped her feet angrily and scolded :
" this self-talking wood!"
And seeing the players excitedly rushing to the mine, Eve was strange.
" they found the nest of spiders in the crypt?"
"They don't know there's a big guy behind these spiders, do they?"
The presence of consciousness signals that make Eve feel faintly, I'm afraid, is at least golden !
Golden, that's really high !
And if it's a swarm of bee thinking, I'm afraid there's a flock of tens of thousands of younger brothers.
In Eve's opinion, these guys are crazy about money.
It's a bunch of players who don't want money ... ...
Wait, it's like they're not afraid to die.
Eve shook her head secretly.
But now that they've discovered the nest of spiders in the crypt and intend to continue to die, they don't intend to stop it.
"This... ...maybe an opportunity to draw out the matrix behind it."
Eve is ready to come to the incarnation at any time.
"If they can really draw out the mother of the crypt spider and give me the opportunity to take it in, what's the harm in giving them some contribution?"
If you can take the mother spider behind you, Eve can control the entire crypt spider population.
And as a group of crypt spiders that have been entrenched in Ravendale for unknown years, they must have known the neighborhood like the back of their hand.
Not to mention, it's a force that's not weak !
