Game of the World Tree - Chapter 163
163. Chapter 163 We are going to get rich!
Hive consciousness, also known as bee colony thinking, or insect swarm consciousness.
This kind of consciousness is a collective thinking, which is often seen in various science fiction novels on Blue Star.
Creatures with hive consciousness are group life.
In this group, each independent individual has his own thinking consciousness, but their thinking consciousness is not independent, and sometimes even imperfect.
Above them, there is a more powerful consciousness controlling them, like a king.
And this supreme thought that controls the thinking consciousness of all independent individuals is the hive consciousness.
In many science fiction works about the Zerg on Blue Star, the Zerg that devours everything is considered to be a kind of hive thinking life form, and their supreme thought is their mother.
When Eve examined the corpse of the crypt spider, she also found some similar characteristics of them.
Unlike other independent creatures, these crypt spiders do not have complete souls. Their souls are all unformed. Strictly speaking, they cannot independently support the normal operation of a life form.
This shows that above them, there is also another more powerful consciousness or soul controlling them.
When these crypt spiders entered Eve’s kingdom, all their connections with the outside world were completely cut off.
They could not survive normally with their own incomplete souls.
So… after struggling for a while, their souls collapsed and died naturally.
Not only that, when these crypt spiders struggled, Eve could even faintly feel that there seemed to be an unknown existence in the distance trying to send some kind of thought signal to reconnect with them…
and the direction of the source of the signal was in Rivendell!
However, it was obvious that the other party could not break through the obstacles of the kingdom of God and eventually failed.
“So… there is indeed a more powerful existence or individual behind these crypt spiders. The consciousness I felt at the end is probably it, a bit like the queen of the Zerg!”
Eve’s heart moved.
At this time, He also understood why the black dragon Myriel was unwilling to help the player deal with the crypt spiders.
This cunning “silver dragon” must know the secrets of the crypt spiders.
It probably knows that the giant spider in the silver middle position is just a minion. Behind them, there is an existence that even the little black dragon is unwilling to provoke!
It seems that Myriel is not stupid.
“Spider Queen?”
Eve showed a hint of interest.
If it is really as He analyzed, the Queen who controls so many crypt spiders must be very powerful…
At least… She must be at the gold level!
Eve fell into deep thought.
But then again, how did these crypt spiders get to His kingdom?
Hmm… That’s right, He just received the players’ request for sacrifice.
Sacrifice… Sacrifice request.
Eve:…
He vaguely guessed what might be going on.
Thinking of this, Eve absorbed all the remaining vitality in the bodies of these crypt spiders, then sank into consciousness, found the player who had just prayed, and threw himself into the other party’s field of vision…
Soon, He saw the scene in the player’s gourd eye.
Rivendell, the entrance to the underground world.
The deep underground cave has long become empty at this moment, and the scenery of the deeper underground can be vaguely seen. There is no more crypt spider…
Four players are surrounding a huge sacrificial array not far from the cave, looking excited.
“Fuck! Mr. Hefan, it actually worked!”
“Oh my god! We sacrificed a big guy, plus more than a hundred minions, and the system actually gave us 1,000 contribution points each!”
“Hahahaha… we really sacrificed the BOSS, hahaha… it turns out you can play like this!”
“That’s awesome, next time we meet a BOSS that we can’t beat, we just sacrifice them!”
“Hahaha, the goddess sister’s sacrificial array is really omnipotent!”
“Keep a low profile… keep a low profile… this will be our trump card in the future!”
“Hahaha! In the future, if we don’t like a wild monster, we will sacrifice it to the goddess!”
“Don’t be happy too soon! Maybe not all living things can be sacrificed.”
“Hahaha, anyway… the monsters we can’t beat must have good stuff on them, and if they have good stuff, the sacrificial array will definitely swallow them. What are you worried about?”
“Hiss… now that you mention it, it seems to make sense!”
The players discussed excitedly, as if they had discovered a new continent.
Nightingale, who was hiding on the side, was stunned:
“Actually…actually the sacrifice was successful…”
“Wait…someone was killed by the spider! Aren’t you sad?”
She was a little confused.
“Don’t worry, Miss Nightingale, we will be resurrected. The dead guy is probably in the Chosen City now. If you don’t believe me, look, is his body still there?”
“Hahaha, you will see him when you return to the city later!”
The other players laughed.
Nightingale:…
She was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the magic circle, and found that the body of the elf warrior was gone, only a bloodstain…
“Actually…really gone.”
She murmured in shock.
“Wait…he wasn’t sacrificed too?”
The elf girl’s face suddenly turned pale.
“Hahaha! No, the sacrificial magic circle doesn’t eat players, someone has tried it before.”
The other players replied.
Nightingale:…
But soon, she was puzzled again, muttering to herself:
“Those sacrificed spiders…are they really the best fertilizer? Does Her Majesty the Mother Goddess also need fertilizer?”
Eve:…
What the hell is fertilizer?
What strange knowledge did the players transmit?
He was confused.
However, after seeing the huge sacrificial array on the ground, Eve also confirmed her guess.
It was indeed the players who made the sacrifice!
He was somewhat amused.
God knows, Eve originally only set up the array to let the believers sacrifice the divine blood crystals to him, but it turned out to be played by the players like this.
They actually sacrificed the monsters they were going to fight!
Should we say that the players are really a group of creatures who are used to finding game bugs?
From the beginning of scraps and rags, to now directly sacrificing monster bosses…
Wait… Will they sacrifice living creatures every day in the future?
He imagined a group of living creatures being thrown into his own kingdom of God by players every day, and then running around the kingdom of God…
Eve:…
No, no, this loophole must be plugged.
Although the life and death of the creatures sacrificed to the kingdom of God are completely controlled by Eve, and he can even drain all the vitality of the sacrifice, but the risk is too great.
Because once this loophole is opened, it is estimated that the players will never stop.
I am afraid that in the future, when they encounter a difficult enemy, they will find a way to sacrifice the other party…
If the sacrifice is successful, it will be fine, and Eve will accept it with a smile.
But if the sacrifice fails and the sacrificial array is exposed to the enemy, and the enemy happens to be Eve’s hostile force, then His existence will be completely exposed…
The sacrificial array acts on the true god’s body, and as the world tree, Eve’s sacrificial array has unique patterns that belong to Him, and those who know the business can see it.
Moreover… this operation, which is like cheating, is not conducive to the growth of players, and is even more detrimental to one’s image among believers.
Accepting the sacrifice of living things… That’s what evil gods do!
Generally speaking, new gods who have been promoted will not accept the sacrifice of living things.
This is a respect for life, which is considered a principle among the true gods in the Segos continent since ancient times.
Otherwise, if everyone played live sacrifices, the entire Segos world would have been in chaos.
Eve thought about it, and she already had the idea of patching it in her mind.
At this time, the discussion among the players was still going on.
“Wait… In that case, why don’t we go back to that mine road? There are so many crypt spiders in the spider nest there. If we sacrifice them all… How much contribution points will we get!”
One player suddenly thought of the underground nest.
After hearing his words, the other players’ eyes were moved.
Even Hefan’s eyes lit up.
For sacrificing a metal spider leg, the game system will only give a pitiful 5 contribution points.
Generally speaking, players will still choose to hand over the spider leg to the elf NPC.
Because as long as you help in the forge, the elf forger Carlos will agree to make this spider leg into a powerful arrow, and then sell it to other archer players for 15-20 contribution points!
Even if you sell it to Carlos himself, he will give the player 10 contribution points!
But… there are probably tens of thousands of crypt spiders in that nest.
Ten thousand crypt spiders, each spider has eight legs, and if they are sacrificed, each leg is worth 5 contribution points… If
all are sacrificed, that’s 400,000 contribution points!
Not counting the legs of large spiders with higher contribution points, and the legs of giant spiders!
If we lure them all out and sacrifice them all…
hiss…
this… how much contribution points will this bring!
Oh my god… a set of gold clothes is not even a dream!
“Fuck! It feels like we are going to get rich!”
All the players reacted, and they looked excited.
“Is there enough paint for drawing the magic circle?”
“There are still a lot…”
Hefan clenched his fists, slapped his thigh, and made a decision:
“Let’s do it!”
After speaking, he looked at Nightingale again:
“You go back first, it will be very dangerous next, I can’t take you with me.”
The tone was unquestionable.
After speaking, he turned around with a group of people and ran towards the underground mine tunnel…
Seeing Hefan and other Chosen suddenly excited and running away, Nightingale was stunned.
She stamped her feet in anger and cursed:
“This piece of wood talking to itself!”
Seeing the players rushing towards the mine excitedly, Eve felt strange.
“Did they find the nest of the cave spiders?”
“They… don’t know that there are big guys behind these spiders?”
The existence of the consciousness signal that Eve could vaguely feel must have reached the gold level at least!
The gold level is a truly high level!
And if it is a life form with a hive mind, it may have tens of thousands of younger brothers.
In Eve’s opinion, these guys are simply crazy about money. They
are really a group of players who don’t care about their lives for money…
Wait, it seems that they are not afraid of death.
Eve shook her head secretly.
However, since Hefan and the others found the nest of the cave spiders and planned to continue to die, He did not intend to stop them.
“This… may be an opportunity to lure out the mother behind them.”
Eve made preparations to descend and incarnate at any time.
“If they can really lead out the mother of the crypt spiders, so that I have a chance to subdue them, why not give them some contribution points?”
If Eve can subdue the spider mother behind them, she can control the entire crypt spider clan.
As a crypt spider clan that has been entrenched in Rivendell for who knows how many years, they must be well aware of the situation nearby.
Not to mention, this is already a strong force!
