Chapter 1116: The Emperor of the Underground World (Lei Xiaotian, the leader of the alliance)
[Thanks to the leader of 5 Lei Xiaotian 2 Li Meier 0 for the reward, the current update is 29/30]
Creatures' fear of darkness is imprinted in their instincts. That's why humans worship flames so fervently, because fire can emit light, dispel darkness, and even dispel fear.
When exposed to darkness, the human mind will become extremely fragile. The slightest disturbance will cause fright, and any slightest fear will be infinitely amplified.
Even scared myself to death.
This is how the ability to dominate darkness was born.
The darker the place, the stronger the ability of darkness to dominate.
However, humans have many self-protection mechanisms, such as fainting due to excessive fright, or falling asleep due to mental fatigue.
Therefore, dark dominance has too many limitations when used on humans.
What's more, human beings have extremely strong self-awareness. Unless the spiritual will of both parties is extremely different, it will be impossible to produce any effect.
Even if the control is successful, the effect of the control will decrease over time and needs to be consolidated every once in a while.
Precisely because of this, the dominance of darkness is neither indefinite nor unlimited.
Otherwise, with this ability, Zhang Quan would have already taken control of everything and dominated one side.
But Xi Tong neglected something.
Even an ordinary person's spiritual thoughts are as deep as an ocean compared to those of an ant, just like the gap between Doctor X and ordinary people.
With this amount of difference, Dark Domination is enough to deprive the ants of their will in an instant.
What's more, ants have no "self" at all, so controlling them shouldn't be too easy.
Xi Tong didn't do much research on ants, but he also knew that every ant colony has a queen, and all ants exist for the queen's existence.
In other words, as long as you control this queen ant, you can easily "hijack the emperor to control the princes".
No wonder Zhang Quan loaded the enhanced version of Turtle Breath Technique so that the host can move freely deep underground.
There are also advanced visual enhancements, enhanced night vision capabilities, thermal imaging capabilities, and perspective capabilities.
Coupled with advanced physics, advanced chemistry, and advanced civil engineering proficiency, Xi Tong has already taken a breath of cold air.
Just as Xi Tong expected, Zhang Quan sent the luxuriously configured system to a world that had failed three times before.
I failed three times here, but I gained a lot. At least I learned about the humanities, customs, geography, etc. of this world.
Soon, a rural boy was bound to the system.
The novice gift package is a gene potion that improves all attributes, which can transform the young man into a completely new person.
At the same time, using the transformation card, the ants were trained in just one day. In just one day, the boy became familiar with the feeling of transformation and could control the ant clones easily.
After that, I completed several system tasks and obtained various medicinal materials and potions. Each of them was a little bit of nothing. It was insignificant to a human body, but to the ant clone, it was like taking a bath in a pond.
The body of the ant has been tempered several times and has become extremely powerful. It is simply a fighter among ants.
After transforming, he could find an ant nest and sneak into it. The darkness would dominate him all the way, and he would directly kill the queen ant, and then easily control the ant nest.
In less than a month, he had dug out all the ant nests in the entire village.
The true controller of the underground world.
The days that followed were about competing for territory with other bugs, then rats and poisonous snakes.
An ant with the level of a little King Kong in a calabash acts as the leader, and even poisonous snakes and scorpions are not enough to see.
What's more, this little ant King Kong is so shameless that if he can't beat you, he will just call you.
The main body directly takes the steel drill and shovel and digs wherever you want, and the dig is accurate.
Then the host began to expand in all directions, and at the same time used the power of ants to search for ancient tombs and antiquities in the village and surrounding wastelands.
I forgot to explain, this is a village with a family of tomb robbers, and their ancestors have been fighting for generations.
A seemingly ordinary door, in fact, many people have died inside.
However, no matter how awesome the cemetery is, it is of no use to ants, not to mention that the host has enhanced vision, including night vision, thermal imaging, and perspective.
No ancient tomb can stop him.
In this business, everyone relies on their ability to make a living. Being able to find the tomb is a skill. Even if others find out, they will never say anything.
It was impossible to report to the official. If people knew about it, they would be stabbed in the spine, and they would not be able to enter the ancestral hall when they came back to pay homage to their ancestors during festivals.
Therefore, the host's family quickly became wealthy and led the people in the village to become wealthy together.
Just teach them some farming experience, breeding techniques, and carpentry skills, and then distribute the crop seeds provided by the system, which will be enough for the tribe to make a fortune.
Then he would spend money to hire a poor scholar from outside as a teacher to educate the children of the clan. Although he was not guaranteed to pass the imperial examination, he would at least be able to read and write, and he would gradually move towards a scholarly family.
With the hope of good days, the people's hearts will gather together. No matter who dares to take advantage of the host, the young and old men in the village will be the first to be unwilling and will risk their lives to protect the host.
Everyone else is dead, and they can't keep the family fed and clothed even if they live, but the host shows signs of flourishing the family, and everyone is willing to protect him with their own lives.
After all, in their line of work, one foot in the door lasts a lifetime, and they have been here for generations.
They would never dream of escaping from something like this that would harm their children and grandchildren, but unfortunately, they don't have the ability.
Now that they have finally seen the dawn of a new life, they naturally want to hold on to it.
To put it bluntly, even if the host kills people on the street, there will still be a group of tribesmen rushing to the yamen to surrender themselves.
Because the tribesmen know who the key to salvation is.
As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as the host does not commit suicide and raise a flag to rebel, he can basically sit back and relax, and any thieves or bandits who want to take advantage of him will have to think carefully.
Even if the host is sitting under the eaves, there must be several people staring at the eaves, lest a tile fall down and hit the host.
What's more, the host secretly teaches some introductory knowledge of physics, chemistry, and civil engineering to the children in the village.
Although we will no longer fight upside down in the future, the ancestral skills cannot be lost and can be transformed into technical activities such as surveying, design, construction, maintenance, and repair.
At a very small level, this is a mason's craft, and once you learn it, you can live openly and earn a living based on your skills. At a large level, this is a weapon for siege, the art of building a city, and the knowledge of striving for world supremacy.
Anyone in this line of work has never dug the tombs of several emperors, generals and ministers, has no respect for the emperor at all, and does not think there is anything wrong with learning these skills.
In the past, conditions did not allow it, and I had not thought about changing the government. Now that I have the ability, ideas emerge uncontrollably.
One after another, special events are gathered into one person, and it is difficult for this person not to be deified.
However, the tribesmen did not know that the host had already established a huge empire in the wilderness outside the village.
Underneath the wilderness is a long-abandoned tomb. The villagers knew this very well, so they emptied the contents and immediately sealed it, completely sealed it.
And all of this has become the host's underground world.
An underground world that is thousands of years more advanced than any giant city on the surface.
