My brother is so cunning

Chapter 905 The More They Fight, the Stronger They Become
Synchronization of insect group behavior refers to the phenomenon in which a large number of individuals achieve collective goals such as foraging, migration, and defense through coordinated actions or rhythms.

Some insects release pheromones when they die, as a warning to their kind, so that others can learn a lesson from their own death.

This phenomenon is common among insect populations such as cockroaches, wasps, bees, and ants.

Insects with relatively simple genetic structures release relatively simple death pheromones. For example, the death pheromones of cockroaches, ants, and bees only serve to warn their kind of danger in a certain area and to encourage them to avoid it.

In contrast, wasps release mandibular gland pheromones that attract other wasps to attack intruders or threats.

The Elite Mosquito in the Super Beastman version has undergone an epic upgrade to the death pheromone mechanism, with the complexity and volume of the pheromones it transmits comparable to a high-capacity hard drive that has been encrypted and compressed.

When a demonic mosquito dies, it releases a pheromone scent that spreads over a radius of ten miles, disseminating everything it experienced at the moment of its death and the lessons it learned. Every demonic mosquito that comes into contact with this pheromone cloud can immediately obtain the memory information of the dead demonic mosquito. This information is not a simple replay of death, but also contains the dead demonic mosquito's summary of the lessons learned from the moment of its defeat.

In a sense, this mechanism is similar to AI machine learning; as long as one AI makes progress in its learning process, the data can be quickly synchronized to the entire cluster.

The result is that the cluster as a whole becomes stronger and stronger with each battle.

The moment you kill one mosquito, the next one is like a character resurrected in a roguelike game. You become skilled at dealing with crises and gradually become more adept at handling them.

The Mosquito's physical attributes are close to the peak of biological capabilities. Its reaction, agility, perception, nerve reflex speed, muscle strength, and flexibility are all excellent. Its physical performance is as strong as expected, and its control program is also improving rapidly through continuous death and iteration.

The combined effect of the two is nothing short of miraculous.

In contrast, the martial monks who rise at dawn every day to practice diligently have made incredibly slow progress in their martial arts over time.

When Venerable Sariputra killed the tenth elite demon mosquito, it took him more than ten moves. Although he was still able to win, the time it took increased tenfold.

On the courtyard wall, he was the only Western Cult disciple left capable of killing the demonic mosquitoes.

The other monks could only parry and had no power to retaliate. They barely managed to keep the wall-top battle line from collapsing by relying on Buddhist defensive supernatural powers and the Vajra body of Arhats.

The war situation has deteriorated far faster than any of the Western monks had anticipated. From the outbreak of the avalanche and the onslaught of the mosquitoes until now, only half an incense stick's time has passed.

The Arhat Sangha, including Venerable Sariputra, initially engaged in battle. Although they were surprised by the unexpected strength of the attacking demonic mosquitoes, they fought hard and managed to hold them off. However, as the demonic mosquitoes died one by one, each one that replaced them was stronger than the last.

Just like this wave of mosquito attacks, they lined up from weakest to strongest, with the first ones rushing up being cannon fodder, while the truly powerful ones were always at the back.

The monks had initially planned to grit their teeth and persevere, thinking that such a powerful demon could not be too numerous. Perhaps the demon had gathered the strongest individuals among the mosquitoes to form a vanguard suicide squad, relying on their fierce attacks to create a breakthrough.

They thought they had withstood the strongest wave, but what surged up next was an army of ordinary mosquitoes that were much weaker in comparison.

Even if the number of demonic insects is large, they will just be a rabble.

However, more and more elite demonic mosquitoes were climbing over the wall, and when they looked into the distance, elite demonic mosquitoes were still flying out of the caves on the mountainside after the avalanche. The monks' mentality was almost on the verge of collapse.

Now, even with all their might, a single demonic mosquito can only barely hold off a single demonic mosquito; killing it is utterly impossible. Behind them are hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of elite demonic mosquitoes. How could a group of over a hundred Arhat-level monks possibly stop this terrifying swarm of insects?

The elite mosquitoes that Wen Rui annihilated only had strong hardware and their bodies were modified to the biological limit, but they did not possess the heaven-defying talent of releasing pheromones after death to strengthen the entire species.

When Mosquito Taoist was developing the second generation of elite mosquitoes at the new base in the mantle layer, he wisely placed Wen Rui's statue on the altar and summoned Wen Rui's divine avatar to provide advice.

Mosquito Daoist is severely unbalanced in the field of new knowledge from the Heavenly Intercept. He is a scholar of biology and an academician of the Biological College of the Demon Alliance Academy. There is no comparison between him and her.

In other fields, however, Mosquito only reached the level of a doctoral student at Liberty City University. He was indeed much more capable than the average person, but he was not qualified to stand at the forefront of science and technology.

Wen Rui's divine avatar filled in all her shortcomings, pointing out incisively that while the physical bodies of the elite demonic mosquitoes she had created were close to perfect, their intelligence level had major flaws.

It's like having a computer with perfectly compatible hardware, but the installed drivers and operating system are from the last century, so it can't perform to its full potential.

This is also the biggest blind spot in the research and development of the Mosquito Taoist, who is determined to create a Zerg civilization.

Normal organisms need to spend a considerable amount of time training and learning to improve their intelligence. As a genetically modified organism, the price of the bio-engineered mosquito's powerful physical body is a short lifespan and a damaged soul.

She simply didn't have enough time to train these elite mosquitoes.

So Wenrui helped her add a group synchronization fragment to the elite mosquito gene and gave this fragment, which was taken from lower insects such as cockroaches, bees, wasps and ants, an epic enhancement.

By drawing on the machine learning training methods of artificial intelligence, biological groups transmit information during death, and their intelligence is continuously improved.

If it were the first generation of elite demonic mosquitoes attacking, the Lingjiu Temple monks would not have had an easy time resisting, but they would not have ended up in such a desperate situation as they are today, after only half an incense stick's time.

As the demonic mosquitoes continued to die and evolve, their casualty rate also decreased. The monks could no longer kill the demonic mosquitoes and were instead suppressed by them using the same Buddhist martial arts.

This is also a problem that the death iteration system cannot solve. The swarm cannot grow stronger indefinitely. As its overall strength gradually surpasses that of its opponents, the casualty rate decreases, leading to a slowdown in the iteration speed. As a result, the strength of individual swarms gradually stabilizes.

On the city wall, only Venerable Sariputra was still able to kill the demonic mosquitoes. He was unaware of the mechanism that these elite demonic mosquitoes grew stronger the more they were killed, and he was still trying his best to increase the number of kills.

From Venerable Sariputra's perspective, if he could kill a few more demonic mosquitoes, it would alleviate some of the pressure on the Sangha and buy them more time.

However, his good intentions backfired. The demonic mosquitoes that died at his hands released swarm pheromones that constantly refreshed the intelligence level of demonic mosquitoes within a ten-mile radius, like a sudden enlightenment, instilling in all the elite demonic mosquitoes the peak martial arts experience of the Pratyekabuddha Venerable realm.

The monks could have saved their lives by forming the Arhat Formation, but they were surprised to find that the mosquitoes, which grew stronger with each wave of death, were also getting stronger even without dying, and their moves became more and more refined and exquisite.

Gradually, they became no less than their teacher, Venerable Sariputra.

How can a battle be fought if hundreds or thousands of masters beat more than a hundred disciples?
