Ninja World: Insect Princess from Konoha

Chapter 581 Spiritual Network
Slime molds are creatures adept at designing complex transportation networks.

It can always intuitively find the best and shortest route between two points, forming a material transmission path, and quickly transport the searched nutrients back to the main body for storage.

In this regard, for Maggie, it not only saves the planning and design of the route, saves working hours and labor, but also saves investment in construction resources.

You only need to mark fixed points on the map, and around these points, the tunnel worm will design the optimal route by itself.

The upper mycelial network is fixed on the tree.

The fixed point of the middle network is living things.

The difference is that as a moving point, it cannot form a material connection network.

But it can form a spiritual connection network.

The upper mycelial network belongs to the planting of a seed, no matter whether you don’t ask, the fruit will be harvested at the right time.

The middle-level network needs to be carefully cultivated.

Without assimilating creatures into members of the swarm under the absolute control of Maggie, how to incorporate other creatures into the swarm system to achieve the effect of mutual cooperation and symbiosis.

This is the answer Miki found.

This is a common little squirrel in the forest. Before winter comes, in the first three seasons of the year, it will collect as much winter food as possible.

As usual, it was going about its normal day.

With all kinds of nuts stuffed in his mouth, he ran happily in the forest on his way home.

This road is not safe and worry-free. There are many predators in the forest, which it needs to avoid.

But the more dangerous ones are the same kind.

As a young squirrel, he has no territory of his own, and the nearby area is the territory of another, stronger squirrel.

Therefore, it had to take a risk to steal the fruit in this senior's territory.

What it didn't know was that things would eventually be revealed. This experienced senior was watching its actions condescendingly from a tree.

Maotou Xiaozi took it without warning, which made him very angry, but he held back and didn't go forward, because he had a lot of experience in survival.

After all, he also grew up from such a little squirrel.

The scene in front of me is constantly reflected in different eyes, enters the depths of the mind, and is then accepted by the parasites lurking deep in the body. With the transmission of the signal, it is transferred to the underground mycelial network, and the signal is passed along the mycelial network. Passed on, and finally gathered in the memory bank of the tunnel worm, stored as data and engraved on the gene.

Sometime in the future, when searching for memories, Meiji will inadvertently look through this forest record again.

The little squirrel didn't know when he had parasites in his body. Being in the forest, it was too easy to contract parasitic diseases, and he didn't care that there were strange things in his body.

But the forest will remember all this and observe everything through their eyes.

The little squirrel let go of the harvest of hard work, and then it will continue to work hard.

At this moment, an inexplicable voice sounded in the depths of my mind.

It was so timid that it couldn't help but hide, looking around in fear and bewilderment.

The sound kept ringing.

"Debugging started."

But it doesn't understand.

"Record, Subject 13046"

But soon, it gradually understood.

The aroma of nuts came from afar, inducing it to move forward.

"Virtual sense of smell guides access, establishes connection with five senses"

The non-existent false fruity aroma guides the way forward, and the little squirrel can't help but follow the guidance of the taste.

The little squirrel left the tree hole, and while the little squirrel left, the old squirrel entered the tree hole, carrying the fruits of the little squirrel's labor.

Following the guidance of the fruit fragrance, the little squirrel found the fruit.

Originally, at this distance, it should have been impossible to find, but this time it returned with a full load.

The hardworking little squirrel returned home happily, but the lack of nuts at home did not attract its attention.

In the following days, day after day, under the guidance of the inexplicable voice, the little squirrel successfully found the fruit, and dared to enter even the dangerous areas that had no courage to set foot in the past.

The dangerous predators around didn't seem to care about this little guy either.

Even if they bump into each other on a narrow road, the two sides pass each other peacefully as if they didn't see each other.

Until one day, the little squirrel who had returned with a full load ran into the old squirrel's theft.

A conflict broke out between the two sides on the spot. With his rich experience, the old squirrel beat the little squirrel violently.

The little squirrel escaped from his home and wandered in the forest in distress.

The winter without stored food and home was very difficult, but fortunately under the inexplicable guidance, it survived tenaciously alone.

In the spring of the next year, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. It has grown and become stronger.

Unknowingly, it returned to that place. The old squirrel was a little old, and the two met under the guidance of fate. This time, the old squirrel failed to defeat the little squirrel, and disappeared into the bleak autumn wind with scars all over his body.

The little squirrel was very happy, it finally had its own territory, and excitedly nestled in the nest and rolled around with the nuts in its arms.

But the happiness didn't last long. In the next spring, the little squirrel turned into an old squirrel, standing on the branch, staring at the young little squirrels entering its territory.

He has finally become an experienced old squirrel, and the challenge given to him by fate is not over yet.

I don't know when, that voice no longer gave it any guidance.

It decides to act on its own terms.

When the little squirrel was out looking for food, sneak into the nest built by the little squirrel.

Another year of bleak autumn, the old squirrel limped on the pile of autumn leaves in the forest, as if reincarnated in the past.

Until I couldn't walk anymore, I fell into the snowdrift, gradually closed my tired and godless eyes, and was buried by the snow.

The forest will remember all this.

In the warm spring of the coming year, flowers bloom and the snow melts, exposing the little squirrel's body. As the temperature rises, it gradually decomposes, and the fine mycelium spreads and grows. A small white flower stands where the original body was, standing gently in the warm spring breeze. swaying.

Where does this world go after death?

The little squirrel didn't know.

"The record is backed up."

"Data transfer starts, synchronous access."

"Consciousness construction simulation progress 10%"

"2050100%"

"Login complete."

After an unknown amount of time, the little squirrel opened his eyes.

"Welcome to my garden, little one."

"This is the resting place of souls without disputes."

The scene in front of me is no different from the forest in the past, except that a layer of softer and dreamy moonlight is sprinkled gently like water, illuminating the surrounding hazy moonlight.

The girl in a hooded black robe gently extended her hand.

Not knowing where the courage and impulsiveness came from, the little squirrel leaped vigorously into the girl's hand, which felt kind.

The moment he took off, he felt his body light and floating like a cloud, gently falling on the girl's palm.

The girl stretched out her hand to tease the little squirrel, with a smile on her lips under the hood.

"How about it, do you like it here?"

The little squirrel stared straight at the tree behind the girl. The branches were covered with abundant fruits, endless and endless.

Is this heaven?

Although the little-headed melon can't understand it yet, he gradually understands it.

"It's a pity, though, that you're not really it yet."

"Failed again"

The girl stretched out her hand and let the little squirrel reach the branch.

It climbed up the tree familiarly. It was strange that although it had no claws, it climbed smoothly. It didn't care about such small details, and the little squirrel hugged the nut excitedly.

"However, live here with peace of mind, there will no longer be painful memories."

In other words, when the girl turned around, she turned into a gentle wind and disappeared like a dream.

The real forest is completely different from here in the daytime, and Konoha's children are playing in the forest.

Peek-a-boo is the perfect game in the forest.

A child lay prone in the grass, holding his breath nervously.

At this time, amidst the rustling sound, the leaves above the head shook for a while.

Subconsciously looking up, there are a group of colorful branches showing their own personalities. The cute little guys are holding a fruit and looking at him secretly.

The child opened his mouth wide and let out a wow.

what is this.

With a big head and a small body, Kazilan's big watery eyes are open, floating in the air, small, cute and playful, simple-minded, with different nuances, looking at him curiously.

Not normal creatures, full of cute cartoon style.

He couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and when he looked again, the little guy had disappeared without a trace.

Are you hallucinating?
"Hey! Everyone!!!"

The little boy rushed into the grass and called out loudly.

"Guess what I just saw!"

"It's an elf! An elf!"

"Exactly the same elf as in the storybook!!!"

Where will you go after you die?

Maggie was looking for such an answer.

On the treetops and branches, a kingfisher twittered softly. During the march, Maggie looked at the lush and vibrant forest on a whim.

All of a sudden, the birds in the forest chirped in unison, playing a melodious tune.

Listening to the singing of the forest in the distance, the white-haired girl sat on the Hokage Rock. In the wind, she tilted her head slightly, and her eyes that see through the virtual and the real swept to her side. There, a group of familiar chakras were looking at her.

Sketch out its specific appearance in your mind.

Can't help but chuckle softly: "Kawaii."

Stretching out his hand to caress the top of the little guy's head who didn't dodge, others seemed to be touching the air.

This is a special scene that has only appeared in the past few days. Something has moved from falsehood to reality, and there is an entity between the real and the false.

Yin and Yang escape. Create shape in nothing
"As expected of you."

Without the constraints of the three generations, Zhili knew that Miki was gradually letting go of her hands and feet, and drawing pictures to the world according to her own wishes.

Looking into the distance, in the depths of the land under your feet, the huge root system forms a chakra river like a galaxy, rushing in all directions.

"No matter how many times I look at it, it is as beautiful as ever."

Not knowing what to think of, Zhili couldn't help laughing.

"Mingming kept saying that he wanted to fly into the sky."

"Isn't this hole getting deeper and deeper?"

"Keep going down into the ground."

"It's really a guy who looks like a bug reincarnated."

"No road race." Beside Zhili, the invisible elf said.
