I Am the Swarm

The environment here is complex and dangers are everywhere. There is no more time for Rowan to slowly adjust his mentality.

He no longer hesitated, implying that he had the right to drink milk tea.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his teeth bit a small opening on the belly of the camouflage worm, and thick juice flowed back from the wound.

The newly replaced chewing mouthparts plugged the gap, and the jaws opened and closed to drink all the soup that flowed out.

In fact, as long as you pass the psychological level, in terms of the taste of insects, it is still delicious. After all, this is the concentrated muscle of the black beetle, like an old hen that has been stewed for three days, the soup is full of essence.

Unfortunately, the licking mouthparts that could have been used as straws have just been replaced. Rowan felt that it was more like drinking a bagged drink at this time. Take a small bite in the bag and slowly drain the liquid inside. Occasionally there are some solids, like pearls, fairy grass, fruit pulp in milk tea, chewing it, and the aftertaste is endless. (I hope it can help you drink milk tea better.)

The distended belly of the camouflage worm gradually shriveled, and Rowan's digestive system was running at full capacity, speeding up the digestion of the soup it sucked in.

Although this will consume a part of the energy, compared with the body size of Rowan and the camouflage insect, if you don't do this, you will waste more.

Even if the digestion was accelerated, this time it was still a bit overwhelming. After all, these essences are equivalent to a combination of black beetles and camouflage bugs. The camouflage bug is okay, it doesn't have much flesh, but even if the black beetle removes the shell, the muscles inside are several times larger than Rowan's.

Until he finished eating, Rowan lost his balance while walking. The bulging abdomen dragged directly to the ground, and he had to prop up his limbs to barely crawl, which was very awkward.

The current state is very bad. Originally on the surface, he was even more clumsy because his speed was not dominant. He couldn't think of being picked up by another bug, so after he was full, he hurriedly pouted his **** to dig.

Only when he goes deep underground can he feel safe.

The tunnel dug this time was larger than usual, in order to prevent squeezing the full belly. And the position on his head and feet made his mouth tightly shut. All Eye closed, making him look like he was wearing a visor, which actually improved his appearance a bit.

It was difficult for him to reach a safe position, and he had to dig a small hole hastily. Before he even had time to dig a safe passage, Rowan fell into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Rowan dreamed for a while that he had become a huge black "God of War", running across the ant colony, without a single enemy. After a while, I dreamed that I became an old YB assassin. Through the camouflage of various external props, I overcame a terrifying and tyrannical insect...

Deep underground, at a depth that few insects can reach, a small house was dug out of the soil, and a small black insect was hiding in it.

At this time, his body was undergoing some changes.

Time passed, and after an unknown amount of time, Rowan finally woke up.

Maybe he slept for a long time this time, and he was still a little confused when he just woke up.

However, after a short while, he regained his senses and hurriedly began to examine his body.

Because the first pair of digging feet is too large, it is not suitable for fine work. Therefore, the second pair of thoracic feet acted as hands, and the fluff on it worked with all its strength, carefully sensing every inch of it.

From top to bottom, I touched my eyes first, but there was no change.

The mouthparts are still chewing, and the digging feet are not abnormal.

The number of arthropods is also normal, neither more nor less.

The big 360-degree panoramic eyes glanced at the back of his eyes. The shoulder armor was normal, and the back armor did not change. It seemed that even the body shape had not changed, it was still the size of the fingernail.

At this time, he felt that his abdomen seemed to be a little abnormal, and he quickly twisted his body hard and looked at his abdomen.

"Hey, did I just sleep for a while?"

At this time, his abdomen was still bulging and round. Some stunned Rowan thought the food had not been digested.

However, then he noticed something was wrong. Not only did his abdomen not shrink, but instead it became larger and longer.

"Fuck, what's this TM growing up with?"

Rowan couldn't help but utter a foul language.

He originally thought that he had absorbed the essence of the black beetle. Although it was a second-hand item, if he could increase his size and strengthen his exoskeleton armor, it would be excellent.

Even if he didn't directly absorb the essence of the black beetle's flesh and evolved the back glue ability of the camouflage bug, he would have made do with it. Worst case scenario, getting its ejection spiked mouthparts, he recognized it.

But what's the matter with this belly getting thicker and longer now? Could it be that he was holding too much and eating his stomach broke?

For a while, Rowan was a little confused.

He tried to walk for a few laps. The stomach thing seriously affected his crawling speed and agility, and it always felt awkward.

Not daring to be careless, he turned over with great effort, like doing a sit-up, and arched his upper body to check it out.

Seeing the situation clearly, Rowan cursed secretly. It turned out that it wasn't his belly that got bigger, but that something grew on the back of his butt.

Before, his body was divided into three parts: head, thorax, and abdomen, which was also a regular template for insects, but now it has four parts.

He originally had nine knots in his abdomen, but he lost three knots in a fight with a natural yellow ant. Although it healed, no new ones grew.

Now the remaining six segments of the abdomen are like springs that were originally unfolded, but now they have been squished and squeezed together and shrunk into a small piece. On the back of the abdomen is the new growth, which looks very similar to the bulging abdomen, and also has a circle of rings, which makes Rowan mistakenly think that this is his belly.

But just now he wandered around and found that the last section was like dragging a drag bucket, and it was very inflexible to change direction, and then he looked closely and found that he had wronged his stomach. This thing is completely new growth behind the buttocks .

Hey, how good is this? He was originally at the lower level of the food chain of insects, and now it is a burden. Unless he can find a long-term meal ticket like a white insect, the risk factor of him going out for food in the future will increase linearly.

After the panic, Rowan gradually calmed down. Recalling that I have evolved new organs and new abilities again and again, there are traces to follow. As long as he finds some clues, he can definitely figure out what is going on.

First of all, he thought of going to the surface for the first time, UU reading www.uukanshu. com did not want myopia, and then the eyes changed, vision gradually improved, and the scope of observation was much larger.

Afterwards, the digging was not strong enough, and a new pair of digging feet grew, so that he has not yet found a bug that digs holes faster than him.

Later, unable to bite the roots and white worms, a pair of big teeth grew. Fighting with natural yellow ants, after losing the fight, he grew a thick carapace. Eating white worms, when injured, stimulates pupation.

Until recently, he replaced the licking mouthparts that he has criticized for chewing.

It stands to reason that after eating black beetles and camouflage insects this time, they should have obtained some of their gene fragments. Even if the black beetles are incomplete or not absorbed, there must be camouflage insects.

Well, now that the food has been digested and the energy seems to have been consumed a lot, an irrelevant thing grows as a result. Why is this?

He recalled the physical characteristics of black beetles and camouflage bugs again. His appearance is somewhat similar to the black beetle, and even if he obtains its genetic fragment, it is likely to become larger.

But now there is no change in the body shape, which rules out the possibility that the body is mutated because of the gene segment of the black beetle.

The camouflage worm's abdomen is long and narrow before it is full, and it is bulging and round when it is full. And what's behind his current abdomen is a combination of their respective characteristics, becoming long and round.

Is it because of this that the body changes?

When I thought about it, I was almost fooled. What seemed like a reliable guess was actually outrageous and ridiculous. Rowan shook his head. After the abdomen was swollen, the absolute length of the camouflage worm's abdomen did not change. This was not some kind of gene at all, it was just a matter of eating.

So what's going on?
