I Am the Swarm

The results were far from ideal.

However, with Rowan's meager knowledge of entomology, he doesn't know if bugs have that kind of thing.

And even if you have it, what's the use?

Not to mention whether he has the same kind or not, can he still have an illegitimate relationship with a bug?

Not to mention, in his memory, males generally died horribly. When I was a child, I watched a children's film with a cat as the protagonist, and some scenes in it are still the shadow of his childhood.

Shivering all over, he forcibly interrupted the thoughts that were going to continue.

However, he had always thought that the last hole in his **** was the excretory opening, and it had left him with the three-section tail that fell off. Unexpectedly, a new one will grow secretly later, but he has never used it, so he has not paid attention to it.

Who knew that it was still not used for drainage this time, but a small hole was exposed in the middle of the lower abdomen for drainage, and the small hole at the back of the buttocks still did not know what it was used for.

The drinking pipe was full but not very useful, Rowan turned his attention to those black algae plants.

I don't know if it's poisonous? I don't know how the anti-toxicity of his worm is.

Thinking of his arrogant racial name and title, his heart to death suddenly started to move.

It should be fine to try a little first, right?

He moved carefully, and used his digging feet to dig the black algae twice. He found no unknown gas or sprayed out unknown liquid, and there was no sign of corrosion on the fluff on the arthropods.

He stretched out his mouthparts and touched the black algae a little, but he didn't feel anything. Then he licked it again with his small tongue, and after a while, there was no sign of numbness on the tip of the tongue.

He took another sip carefully, and lay down for a while more cautiously, but he didn't seem to feel anything.

Later, after gradually increasing the food intake and prolonging the waiting time, Rowan finally came to the conclusion that this black algae is edible and not poisonous. Or poisonous, but had no effect on him.

Although the energy provided by plants is not comparable to that of meat, it is much stronger than simply drinking water.

After going back and forth and finally getting his stomach full, Rowan climbed out of the crack and prepared to rest for a while. The rock wall in the gap becomes smoother as it goes down, and his hook structure is not very good at walking and staying on the smooth rock surface.

So it's very risky for him to continue to go deeper. If he doesn't get a firm grip and falls, it's okay to fall on a rock. If he fell directly into the underground river, he didn't know whether he could swim or not, and if he couldn't, it would be a big trouble.

Thanks to the special conduit system of most insects and their unique working mechanism, it is difficult to suffocate most insects, but it is easy to drown them.

Unfortunately, Rowan's current body is this kind of conventional system, but if he really falls into the water, with the characteristics of Efi Ash, who knows if he can evolve a new system in time to solve the problem.

Rowan said that whoever likes to go, he will not do this kind of challenge anyway.

If you don't die, you won't die, which has been engraved into the first item of the action plan by him.

Although Luo Wen wanted to become a boss and go out again, it was obviously unrealistic. Although food can be provided here, the efficiency of replenishment is very low. He is still small now, but when he grows up, it is estimated that most of the day will be spent eating.

These black algae can't provide him with a new gene panel. If he continues to stay here, he can only enlarge himself proportionally, and can't add any new functions.

And he still needs to know more about the world. Don't just think that you are invincible in the world, and you are ready to go out. As a result, you are facing a ballistic missile or a dissociation technique. Do more observations.

After thinking about it, Rowan came up with a compromise solution, and he continued to move in the direction of the flow of the underground river.

Water is the source of life, and he believes that as long as he continues like this, he will meet other beings sooner or later.

It's just a pity that I just left. I don't know when those ants' revenge will be avenged.

Of course, Rowan believes that he is definitely not a person who holds grudges.

Just like this, Rowan started a long journey along the underground river.

The daily routine is to eat, drink, travel, and rest. Occasionally, he would climb up a section and search back and forth to see if there was any relative of the white worm, but unfortunately, he never found it.

He has not been to the surface for the time being, and the few surface experiences he has only left him with an extremely bad impression. Except for the first time I was only scalded, the next two times, I got myself half to death each time.

The underground river is slowly rising. The underground river, which was originally fifty or sixty meters above the ground, is now only more than twenty meters above the ground.

Rowan's body also grew back to the size of a fingernail.

To be honest, the growth rate was much slower than he expected.

In addition to the low energy conversion rate of the food eaten, most of the energy is provided for the heavy physical labor of mining, which is also one of the reasons.

And he also suspects that the oxygen supply system in the body is also an important factor limiting his continued expansion. So, he desperately needed a new, more powerful oxygen supply system to replace it.

As time went by, Rowan didn't know how long he had been digging. However, the riverbed of the underground river is getting higher and higher and closer to the surface, and the rock layer where he is located is only a few meters away from the surface.

The soil here is gradually increasing, and the thickness of the sandstone layer is already very small. Occasionally, the rhizomes of some plants can be seen passing through the soil. Rowan feels that he may be able to get out of the desert soon.

When the rock layer was only about 1 meter away from the surface, between the rock and the surface, the sand and stone layer disappeared, and only soil remained. The rhizomes of the plants here are more dense, and obviously there are a lot of plants on the surface, but unfortunately, no white worms have been found.

Rowan finally couldn't help getting out of the dirt and ran to the surface to take a look.

The two huge eyes finally played their role, and everything around them was clearly printed into Rowan's mind. The field of vision has reached nearly 20 meters, and it seems that it has been secretly strengthened recently.

Clusters of unknown bushes dotted the ground, and only a small part of the sand was blown by the wind.

Although I saw plants, it still felt a little barren, and I didn't find any shadows of insects and animals.

It was daytime, and the hot sun shone on Rowan. Not only did he not feel like he was burned for the first time, but he felt a warm feeling. He knew that this was because his fire resistance had increased.

Carefully climbed to the nearest shrub, the thick yellow-white trunk twisted upwards, and then pulled out some slender branches, dotted with a large number of small green leaves.

It looks delicious.

The black algae in the ground have not been found for a long time, it may be that they must be deep underground to grow.

Rowan drank full of water for two days and was about to find another way out when sporadic tree roots appeared in front of him. With the addition of rhizome juice, he can barely maintain his daily wear and tear, and even have a little leftover.

So, he still proceeded along the underground river as originally planned. After all, in this environment, the risk of finding another way out is also great.

After that, tree roots appeared more and more frequently, and they can be seen everywhere until now. Rowan didn't have to worry about eating for the time being, but new problems also appeared.
