I Am the Swarm

Chapter 14: Pick up leaks

The ants are entangled with each other, like a net covering the black beetles.

And the black beetle is getting more and more difficult to get rid of the ants, and the war trend has gone from the original ten to unknown. If there is a bet, I believe this is another shocking tragedy.

After the black beetle was bitten off by two hooks and half of its tentacles, it finally chose to escape.

Continuing to fight may eventually lead to defeat, but if it wants to escape, the slender size of the ants can't stop it.

Like a heavy tank storming an infantry position, the black beetle roared away with ants all over its body. From time to time, ants were thrown off the car due to the speed of the car.

Because Rowan himself was watching the battle from a long distance, in a blink of an eye, the black beetle ran out of its line of sight with some ants.

Rowan was not in a daze, why did he watch it for so long? In addition to watching the fun, there is also a mentality to try and find out.

At this time, both sides on the battlefield had already left, leaving many big leaks in place. It's not Rowan's style to not pick up any leaks. He got up and rushed towards the battlefield at a high speed.

For the predecessor, a distance of more than ten meters was a matter of a few steps, but for him, who is only the size of a fingernail, it is no less than a long-distance race.

Fortunately, he had been holding the mentality of picking up leaks on the battlefield just now. He had already planned his route to the battlefield while watching the battle, and at the same time glanced at the road to see if there was any danger.

On the bright side, no abnormality was found, but I had encountered a fool earthworm before, and a hidden hunting method like it is really hard to find if you don't get close.

Therefore, when Rowan was running fast, he also paid great attention to his feet, so as not to be overjoyed and sad.

Fortunately, I didn't encounter any trouble and reached the battlefield safely all the way. His mouthparts are not strong enough to eat meat food quickly, so he can only pick up a piece of the lower body of an ant, pout his butt, and dig into the ground.

He dug a small hole deep in the ground to put the food away, and Rowan turned back twice, dragging back a head and a body. When he reached the surface again, there were sporadic ants on the battlefield. He did not continue the adventure and turned back to the depths of the ground.

With the parts of the ant, he continued to move a distance deeper into the ground, then dug out a room and opened several escape routes. Then I found some rhizomes to supplement the food.

After returning again, it is finally time to start dinner, hoping to get some useful things.

It took him a long time to lick the ant meat clean, leaving a pile of exoskeleton carapace aside, and Rowan began to rest with anticipation.

Time passed, and after waking up, Rowan didn't care about hunger in his stomach, the energy reserve alarmed, and he hurriedly checked his body.

I checked the tentacles, eyes, arthropods, and carapace one by one, but nothing changed.

Luo Wen was a little disappointed. When he saw that the black ant didn't show any talent after fighting for a long time, he shouldn't expect too much.

He pouted depressedly, eh, something doesn't feel right in his mouth?

Unfortunately, the position of the mouth is one of the few blind spots for his big eyes. You can only touch it carefully with the arthropod, and feel it with the fine hair on it.

Hey, if there is a mirror, why bother.

Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, he was really stupid. The change in the mouth must be due to the black ant, and it should be something similar to its mouth.

The empty shell of the ant's head was rolling aside, and Rowan leaned over to take a look.

Comparing the feeling from his own fluff and the sample comparison in front of him, Luo Wen has a spectrum in his heart.

"I finally changed my mouth."

He sighed. He had long held grudges about the licking mouthparts before. Can't get some power with the initial equipment? As soon as he was "born", he was given a mouth to eat soft rice.

Now he should be wearing a chewing mouthpart like the ant in front of him. The original mushroom head has disappeared, and it is composed of new lip leaves, jaw leaves, labial whiskers and some nail pieces. They are responsible for pulling the food around their mouths into the mouth, just like a circle of small hands around the human mouth, isn't it very graphic?

Although the chewing mouthparts are the most basic mouthparts of insects, the licking mouthparts have evolved from it. Strictly speaking, it should not be considered evolution from licking to chewing, but rather like degeneration.

But sometimes, the most basic is also the most adaptable, and the one that suits you is the best.

Today is a sunny day, and the familiar shrubs stretch out their little green leaves.

As the underground river got closer and closer to the surface, the vegetation here became denser, and the yellow sand and stones were no longer visible on the ground, but were covered with some rotten leaves.

Rowan climbed from the ground for a long time, away from the battlefield above yesterday, then pushed up a layer of fallen leaves and got out.

Unknown insects hide in the bushes and emit various insect sounds. Compared with the lifeless desert, this place is obviously much more lively.

At the same time, it also means that the danger has increased a lot.

Rowan had just crawled for a while when his tentacles heard some unusual noises from a bush not far away.

He quickly turned his head to look, and found that a relative of the "God of War" was nibbling at the leaves yesterday, and it was the sound that it made. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

This black beetle is one circle bigger than the one yesterday, and it has complete limbs, which is why Rowan can see at a glance that he is not the same black beetle from yesterday.

But I didn't expect to be so mighty and domineering. The big guy who picked N turned out to be a vegetarian. Luo Wen was shocked. This is like a big man wearing solid armor and holding a great sword of unparalleled strength. After rushing back and forth in the enemy line, and returning covered in blood, the crowd who greeted the triumphant hero grinned and said, "Actually, I am."

Rowan has a lot of resentment. He feels that he is a carnivorous bug. He is crushed by a vegetarian in all aspects of body shape and equipment. This feeling is very bad.

Just before he could complain a few words, he saw a piece of tree bark not far from the vegetarian boss.

Rowan immediately concentrated, looked carefully, and found that there was a pair of slender tentacles at the front end of the bark, and the bark was actually a bug.

Rowan, who hadn't recovered from the shock just now, was shocked again. Are all the bugs playing so gimmicky now? What kind of black technology is this?

His knowledge of entomology is really lacking. He has only heard of chameleons before, but he has never heard of chameleons. Although the camouflage of this bug still has some minor flaws, it is really difficult to find if it does not move.

Whenever the leaves are blown by the wind, the branches sway and rustle. Using the cover of the sound, the bug moved a little distance towards the black beetle that was leisurely gnawing on the leaves, as if it was being blown by the wind.

A few minutes later, the camouflage bug had reached a step behind the black beetle.

The black beetle didn't notice this, but Rowan, who was watching the fun, raised his heart. What is the camouflage bug doing?
