   Chapter 848 Racial Collective Consciousness Network

  Hundreds of years of excavation, the underground nest of this red ant colony, the scale is even more incredible than Isaac's estimate.

   Countless tunnels.

   Each one is like a passageway connected to the Underdark.

   But densely packed, overlapping.

   All the tunnels are combined, as if it were a honeycomb magnified ten million times.

   If a normal person enters here, there is no possibility of finding the right way!

   However, Isaac is naturally not a normal person.

   With the power of the mind beyond the limit, through the "group consciousness network" of the red ants family, and without anyone noticing, following the trail of the queen ant.

   He didn't need to find a way at all, he just followed this "telepathic network" and kept going to the depths of the ant nest.

   And because there is no need to find a way, this way goes down…

   "It's kind of interesting!"

  Eye of True Knowledge, which possesses the ability to directly see the spiritual plane from the material plane.

  With the eye of true knowledge, Isaac went all the way down.

But not only did I see the ant nest, there were huge red ants from time to time, transporting food to the ground, and there were larger giant ants, in groups of three or five, with jaw thorns opening and closing, as if they had a target. Generally, they are galloping out fiercely.

  More, he even saw that on the plane of the spiritual world, which was completely incorporeal, these demonized giant ants also landed together, in "spirit form", surrounding and killing soul creatures.

  It seems that these souls are also their food.

   However, it was not these things that made Isaac's eyes twinkle and gave birth to the feeling of "interesting".

   Phase red ants, since they are named after "phase", they can enter and leave the spiritual plane at will. Everything like this is actually a normal phenomenon.

   The one that really made Isaac feel strange…

   "Between the collective consciousness network of this red ant group and the overall consciousness of the elves..."

  In Isaac's understanding, the overall consciousness of the elves is the spirit of the whole that is constructed and born from the innate yearning of all elves and souls for the Aphande degree.

   The core essence of this whole spirit lies in the call of the "Apan Dedu" to all spirits.

   And the collective consciousness of this red ant clan at this time...

   "A single worker ant or a soldier ant doesn't actually possess any psionic power, but they are all part of this 'telepathic network', which..."

   "This is actually the essence of the 'spirit of the whole elves', and it also has a certain degree of similarity."

   "The queen ant is the core of this swarm network."

   "All worker and soldier ants are born with obedience to it."

   "With this absolute and common obedience, each individual is making a contribution, and then centering on the psychic power of the queen, the individual's dedication is integrated into it..."

   "This should be the essence of this 'group consciousness'!"

   "And through this 'collective consciousness network', the ant queen at its core is a giant ant who can drive everything at will."

   From the observation of ordinary giant ants, Isaac quickly had a considerable degree of grasp and judgment on the "group consciousness".

   Furthermore, there is a corresponding speculation about the core of this giant ant group, the ant queen who is suspected to have the ability of a high-level warlock.

   Even, if nothing else...

   "Its sorcerer-like abilities are not derived from a radiant mutation of 'CHAOS' magical energy."

   "It should be... from this 'group consciousness network'!"

  Thinking of this, Isaac's eyes showed some pondering color.

  Although the clan collective consciousness of the phase red ants is completely incomparable with the overall spirit of the entire elf clan, whether in strength or level.

   However, it is undeniable that, at least in Isaac's understanding, there is a certain similarity between the two.

   With this similarity…

   "Is it possible and necessary to incorporate such 'group consciousness' into the research topic?"

   "To study it..."

  Isaac's eyes flickered slightly.

The ultimate meaning of    such research is nothing more than two directions.

   First, from another level, the "elf high magic" will be realized. Of course, if it is really realized, the word "elf" in this "elf high magic" can be completely deleted!

  Second... In this way, the exploration and research of "belief" should be carried out substantially!

   Thinking about the possibility of realizing these two directions, Isaac did not slow down.

   On the surface, the war is still going on in an orderly manner according to his orders.

   Here, instead of going directly to the possible location of the "Mist Hall", he ran to the Queen's side first. It was destined to be a waste of time, and he naturally wanted to end this "waste" as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although time is definitely wasted, firstly, Isaac can directly grasp the direction without needing to explore the road and beating around the bush. Vision, smell, or sound, none of them can be detected by phase red ants.

   This way down, there is no obstacle, let alone obstacles.

   Before long, Isaac had already descended, passing through more than dozens of layers of tunnels, or at least sinking to a depth of several miles.

   Gradually…

"almost there!"

   At this depth, the environment of the ant nest, if you exclude the deep negotiation with the spiritual plane, is no different from the Underdark.

   Even more, it is obvious that after reaching this depth, the density of phase red ants has also increased rapidly, to the extent that it can be seen almost everywhere.

   In particular, almost every soldier ant team has an advanced large soldier ant as the leader.

   It can even be seen that it is an elite ant guard team composed of advanced soldier ants.

  The unusual soldier ant squad has to patrol and hunt everywhere, but these elite ant guards are all guarding some key tunnel intersections, as if they have enough intelligence to understand the strategic significance of these positions.

   Of course, it cannot be ruled out, this is an order from the arrangement of the ant queen.

Looking at such an elite ant guard, Isaac's footsteps silently crossed a strategic intersection under the shroud of "Legend Hidden". moving.

   The size of this phase of the red ant colony is even larger than he expected.

  It’s hard to count the worker ants scattered all over the place, but if he uses the soldier ants he sees and the ant guards to make calculations…

   The population size of this phase red ant is really likely to reach five figures!

   Such size, and their size…

   "I'm afraid, they are not only omnivorous, whether they are animals, plants, or spirit world creatures, they are all on the list of recipes, and the various rock ores in the ground may not be their food."

"Otherwise, this ant queen's 'telepathic network' can cover a radius of dozens of miles. As long as it is not good enough, let alone hundreds of years, no matter how long it takes, it is impossible to form such a huge group size! "

   A phase red ant colony of this size, if there is no suppression of the "grandfather's tree" by the natural domain, if it directly kills the ground...

   Not to mention the tree spirit barbarians, even if the Yeerlan Restoration Army of the "Wood Council" was brought here alone, I was afraid that they would also flee.

   "The size of the ethnic group is too large!"

   "Demiplanar bases don't fit them!"

  Isaac shook his head slightly in his heart.

   will come to the ant queen, except that he wants to see if he can find some information related to the seal of the "Mist Hall" from these demonized giant ants.

   By enslaving the queen ants, the giant ant colony will be completely controlled. In this way, whether it is used for combat or research, it is of great significance, and this is also a major purpose.

  It's just, from what I've observed now...

   "It's okay!"

   "At least today, it is impossible for 'Legendary Slaves' to be used on it, so let's temporarily control it to see if we can get information about the 'Hall of Fog' from it, and by the way, let's deepen our understanding."

   "To enslave it permanently, and even take this giant ant colony away, this is not something that can be done at random."

   In his heart, Isaac was putting away some of his desires.

With    steps, he also stepped into a huge and open dark space like a dungeon.

   In front of his eyes, it was no longer completely dark, and all kinds of brilliance, even radiance, jumped into the horizon.

   This brilliance.

   comes from above the dark space, above the layers of creep, like the stars in the night sky, flickering with continuous fluorescence.

   comes from everywhere, like gems, special crystal ore, and mysterious metals, each with different luster.

However, the brilliance of all, the most brilliant, lies in the sky at the center of the dark space. It is like the brilliance of the bright moon and the afterglow of the setting sun. Reflect the mysterious glow of the mind's thoughts.

   And under this bright glow...

   is located in the middle of a large group of giant red ants that are larger than horses and exude a strong male atmosphere.

It has a huge body and is extremely bloated. It drags a belly like a blown balloon. Above this belly, there is still a pulsing, bright color like the mysterious brilliance of the sky. It is ugly to the extreme, but also The giant ant with strange beauty and charm fell into Isaac's eyes.

   Of course it is the queen ant, and her male ant princes!

  Isaac glanced over, ignoring the male ants and the endless stream of worker ants around him.

   took a look at the queen, and then looked at the bright glow of the sky...

   "The power of the mind!"

   "It is based on her psychic power, and incorporates the psychic awareness of all phase red ants, and..."

In   's eyes, there was a thoughtful look.

  If his judgment is not wrong.

   The essence of this bright radiance should be the core of the collective consciousness of the entire phase red ant clan, and the essence of its formation and manifestation, in addition to the dedication and investment of all red ant spiritual consciousness, should also…

   "Racial Ability!"

   "Perhaps it is the radiation mutation originating from the magical energy of 'chaotic evil', which tends to the mutual 'telepathy' ability between 'Tanari' and 'Tanari'!"

   This psychic ability is made up of the dedication of the entire phase red ant colony.

   As the only master among them…

   "No wonder he can live well under the feet of the 'Grandfather's Tree' and the two Beren Liches."

   "I'm afraid, it is also a legendary spellcaster, but it is indeed a qualification that cannot be underestimated!"

   Perceiving the intensity of the bright glow, perceiving the life energy level of this ant queen, Isaac's eyes were flickering with strange colors.

  If this ant queen is really a legendary warlock, she can control the entire group as she pleases through such an overall consciousness network of the group, and the huge scale of this giant ant group...

   I am afraid that this group of red ants in this phase has the qualifications to compete with the famous "Fumi ants" in the outer plane "Mechanical Realm".

   At least, in the Fumi ant group, those ordinary queen queens, the group ruled by them, is completely qualified to compete!

   This grasp, this judgment…

  Isaac's footsteps never stopped, but he frowned secretly in his heart as he went straight to the ant queen.

   There is a substantial level gap between a level 20 high-level warlock and a 21-level legendary warlock.

   A 20th-level high-level warlock can master 9th-level spells no matter how powerful it is, and because the spells that a warlock can master are still very limited, the actual combat power is subject to more restrictions.

   The 21st-level legendary sorcerer is eligible to study legendary spells.

  Legendary spells, this is not only not limited by the number of spells that can be mastered by the warlock profession, but also no longer limited by the similar limitation that warlocks cannot perform "instant super magic".

  If this ant queen did not become a true legendary warlock, it would not matter, and Isaac won it at his fingertips.

   But if you are already a legendary sorcerer and have really mastered legendary spells...

   His eyes wrinkled slightly, and Isaac shook his head gently again.

"It stands to reason that if the formation of phase red ants is really mutated by the radiation of chaotic evil magical energy, the predecessors were just giant red ants, and they should have never left here, this red ant colony will not have any magic. Aspects of accumulation.”

   "From this point of view, she shouldn't be involved much in the field of legendary spells!"

   "However, it cannot be ruled out that she has other ways of understanding magic."

"like…"

  Sorcerer's spell abilities, although most of them have their source, do not need to learn, but can also be directly mastered.

   But, really, when it comes to researching epic spells, it's different.

   To create legendary spells at will, this also requires a deep mastery of magical knowledge.

   From this point of view, there is no background, no inheritance, this red ant queen is basically not a big threat.

   Of course, this is just the basics.

  Isaac did not rule out the possibility.

   Just like...the foggy hall!

   "Yes or no, you can tell by trying it!"

   "If she has extraordinary means, then there should be some calculations behind her."

   "On the other hand, if you take it easily... then take her back in the future and use her to study the structure of the 'group consciousness'!"

   The electric transfer of the mind's thoughts, Isaac has already made up his mind.

   In front of him are the dense red ant guards, still maintaining the "legend stealth", and he silently stepped into the sky again.

   "Suggestion!"
