Chapter 18 Consciousness Energy Field
Uh, good guy, you actually kidnapped so many people.

Looking at the long string of ants being brought out, Yuan Shi was stunned and speechless for a while.

What did that sentence say?

Food is the foundation of the people.

It seems that whether it is humans or other creatures, food always comes first.

"hey-hey!"

Yuan Shi chuckled, rubbed his hands excitedly, and looked at the one or twenty ants with eyes shining.

Since you are so enthusiastic, I won't be polite.

Wisps of consciousness energy floated out, covering all the ants, and began to erode away towards their consciousness space bit by bit.

After all, they are just some small ants, and their soul consciousness is far inferior to that of human beings. In addition, Yuan Shi has experienced a transformation and evolved into consciousness energy.

Therefore, even if the ants' conscious instincts have some resistance, they are easily broken through, and the strands of conscious energy are integrated into their conscious space.

In just a moment, the group of ants in front of Yuan Shi began to crawl back and forth manically, and even occasionally bit and attacked each other.

In this regard, Yuan Shi did not stop him. He wanted to see how long it would take for these ants to adapt to the consciousness of vitality without intervention.

1 minute, 2 minutes
half an hour, an hour.
When more than two hours and nearly three hours passed, the ants finally gradually calmed down. Although some of their legs and feet were damaged, they all survived and were no longer so manic.

"Hoo~!"

Yuan Shi, who had been watching closely, was also sighing at this time. Unexpectedly, these ants had quite strong adaptability. In just two or three hours, they had completely adapted to the existence of consciousness energy.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that their conscious souls are too weak, making their conscious souls easily affected by the external environment and adapt accordingly.

At this time, Yuan Shi could feel a little bit of consciousness flowing in the bodies of the ants in front of him through telekinesis.

Although it doesn't seem to have much impact on these ants for the time being, he has indeed taken root in these ants.

Next, you only need to wait slowly, waiting for the subtle influence of those conscious energy to assimilate the soul consciousness of these ants, and then assimilate the bodies of these ants little by little, and the spiritual energy of life in the meridians.

But the most important thing is that the efficiency of doing so is much higher than before.

All it takes is a little bit of consciousness energy to erode into the ant's consciousness space and let it develop naturally.

It does not need to be hosted by Yuan Shi personally as before, which also takes a lot of time.

After confirming that his plan was temporarily successful, Yuan Shi sprinkled some bread crumbs to prevent these ants from returning empty-handed.

In the next few days, Yuan Shi was constantly eroded by new ants.
In the end, all of them, including the queen of this ant colony, were implanted with consciousness by Yuan Shi.

In order to better observe the changes in the ant colony, Yuan Shi simply moved all the ants, including the queen, out of the nest.

Of course, ants who have lived in caves for a long time are naturally unwilling to live in an empty living room.

However, Yuan Shi used the hair evolved from consciousness to weave a nearly airtight hair net, preventing them from returning.

At the beginning, these ants still maintained their original survival mode, looking for food crumbs scattered by Yuan Shi, and constantly trying to find ways to leave.

But as time passed, these ants became more and more deeply affected by the energy of consciousness.

From the beginning, they just relied on biological instinct to find food, feed the queen, etc., and then started to think about how to find more food, and even started to think of ways to better store food.

This is already a qualitative change.

This means that these ants have begun to think, possess simple wisdom, and are evolving towards intelligent life.

And Yuan Shi was able to sense that the consciousness energy that originally only existed in the ant's consciousness space began to spread throughout the ant's body and flow along the meridians in the ant's body.

At some point, when Yuan Shi woke up again and observed the ant colony, he suddenly noticed a phenomenon in one ant that was completely different from that of other ants.

Around this ant, there were actually some sporadic consciousness energy floating around.

This abnormal phenomenon immediately aroused Yuan Shi's curiosity, and he began to sense the situation with his mind.

From the high-dimensional perspective of consciousness energy, an invisible force field was formed with one centimeter around the ant's body as a boundary, and a layer of seemingly invisible consciousness energy filled it.

After Yuan Shi searched for the source, he finally discovered that the source of this level of consciousness force field is the consciousness energy circulating in the meridians in the ant's body.

The consciousness energy in this ant's body has completely spread throughout every inch of the ant's meridians. As the spiritual energy of life continues to flow, it completes the closed loop of circulation in the meridians.

It is the closed-loop flow of consciousness energy in the meridians that creates a wonderful resonance with the spiritual energy of life and the meridians themselves, and then generates and evolves the force field of consciousness energy that envelopes the ant.

Yuan Shi is sensing other ants.
Sure enough, the consciousness energy in other ants seemed to have spread throughout the body, but in fact it did not connect all the meridians to form a closed loop.

As for the two ants that were completely assimilated by Yuan Shi, perhaps because they lacked life spiritual energy, they could not resonate with the meridians around their bodies, so they did not generate a consciousness force field.

In the following time, just as Yuan Shi had imagined, the consciousness energy in other ants' bodies continued to grow, gradually spreading to every inch of the meridians in the body, and began to form a flowing closed loop in the body's meridians. Each one was strong, weak, or large. Or a small consciousness force field is formed.

Moreover, as the queen ant finally formed the force field of consciousness, an invisible resonance began to occur throughout the ant colony.

The consciousness energy field of the entire ant colony gradually showed a tendency to merge with each other.

Whenever two ants are close to each other, their own consciousness and vitality force fields will gradually merge into one, forming a larger consciousness and vitality force field.

As time goes by, more and more conscious primordial force fields merge, and finally, a conscious primordial force field covering the entire ant colony is formed.

And after the formation of this conscious energy force field, Yuan Shi was even more surprised to find that these ants gradually no longer want to return to the ant nest, and even no longer go out of the conscious energy force field.

"What is going on? Self-awareness limitations?."

Involuntarily, Yuan Shi looked at the force field of consciousness and murmured to himself in a low voice.
