I Am the Swarm

Rowan took them to find some food first. The ants didn't seem to be interested in the roots of the tree, they just added some water.

Unexpectedly, these guys are quite picky eaters, which makes Rowan complain a little. Your masters are eating the roots of trees, but you are still picking and choosing, which makes him very embarrassed, you know?

The two ants couldn't understand such a complicated meaning, so they ignored it.

Rowan sighed inwardly, a sense of loneliness enveloped his heart.

After eating and drinking, Rowan bit off three tree roots and issued an order, "Bring it back to the nest".

As a result, he still overestimated the IQ of the ants. They don't choose to use a reasonable angle to drag the larger roots, like Rowan. They only pick up the roots arrogantly, pull hard, and often get stuck in the roots.

In order to take care of them, Rowan let them carry very small roots, but there were still various problems. They got stuck in the passage and couldn't move as soon as they climbed out.

Biting off the root of the tree in half again, this is finally okay. It's just that the total amount of tree roots carried by the two ants is more than one-tenth of the root that Rowan dragged.

After returning to the nest, Rowan distributed some tree roots to the black beetle, and then added the rest to the mother nest.

Taking advantage of the stall absorbed by the mother's nest, Rowan named the two of them.

He named one of them Black Two and the other Black Three. As a result, after some testing, it was found that it was a waste of time. They can only understand the vague meanings of you and me, and they have no concept of names, and they can't understand the meaning at all.

Although the results were not ideal, Rowan was also happy. This saves trouble, and saves more younger brothers in the future. Just thinking about the name can exhaust his brain cells.

Afterwards, Rowan took them to dig a room not far from the nest, which was a hatching room specially dug out to prevent black beetles.

At this time, the mother's nest also recovered some vitality, and Rowan issued an order to produce an egg.

After the eggs were sprayed out, Rowan carefully blocked the black beetle's path, and then instructed two ants to take care of the eggs.

The ants quickly understood the meaning of the words, and one of them picked up the eggs. Then, under the leadership of Rowan, he came to the hatching room to put the eggs down.

Originally, Rowan thought to ignore them and wait for a while to see the results. Then came the thought of one egg, one ant to take care of enough, and another for the experiment.

I gave one of the ants an instruction to "find food", but I didn't expect that the ants really understood and took action. It crawled towards a passage.

Rowan followed curiously to see where it was going to find food.

Two bugs were crawling in the passage, and this passage was the passage that Rowan took them to gnaw at the roots of the tree just now.

Rowan already had some guesses.

Sure enough, the ants crawled all the way to the root of the tree, biting off a piece of bark, and sucking it up.

After a while, a drop of water appeared on the two big teeth at the corner of its mouth.

Rowan was amazed at it. He didn't understand how the ants operated. They could actually coil a drop of water from the root of the tree and pick it up.

In order to see clearly, Rowan had approached the ant and was discovered by it. Rowan didn't care about it, he didn't deliberately hide himself.

However, what happened next was a little embarrassing.

After realizing Rowan's position, the ant turned around and sent the water droplets on his teeth to Rowan's mouth.

Rowan was a little stunned for a while, but only after he reacted did he realize that the ant was going to feed him. This made him a little dumbfounded, how could there be such a corrupt treatment?

Although it was already a bug, Rowan still couldn't accept another bug to feed him. So he issued the order to "search for food, bring back to the lair".

After a while, the ants returned to their nest with water droplets in their mouths.

Luo Wen secretly sighed that this is a bit troublesome. Now the number of bugs is still small, what if there are more in the future? At that time, there is no way to follow behind and give orders at any time, instructing them what to do.

He followed the ants all the way back to the old nest, and found that the ants who were looking for food fed the water droplets to the ants who stayed behind without Rowan's instructions.

Rowan's eyes lit up, which showed that they had some kind of instinct.

Later, Rowan started various experiments.

After half a day, I tried various commands. Rowan found that in fact, there is no need for any refined instructions at all. As long as instructions such as "stand guard" and "stay here" are not conveyed to them, they will start looking for work on their own after being stunned for a while.

When he is hungry, he will find food by himself, and he will deal with the dryness and humidity of the hatching room. Anyway, Rowan doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Now that Rowan has a spectrum, he hatched 10 eggs with the mother's nest. This is the largest output per day without damaging the mother's nest itself.

For the next few days, the mother hive produced 10 eggs and two small mature ants every day.

And Rowan himself was tired like a dog, busier than before. Because ants can't survive by drinking water alone, and because they are only small mature bodies, they can't beat the black ants in the neighbor's house at all. So he can only kill a certain number of black ants every day and drag them back~www.novelmt.com~ These prey will give priority to the needs of the mother nest to ensure the nutritional supply of the mother nest to ensure that it can complete the planned production tasks every day.

The rest is to feed the black ants produced by these mother nests. As the number of two per day increases, their consumption is also increasing.

Rowan's workload is also getting heavier and heavier. Now he eats some tree roots every day to barely maintain himself, and he has not eaten much ant meat, which also causes his body to grow only a little in a few days, basically Can't see a change.

It's not the way to go on like this. He's the eldest, and it's okay if the younger brother doesn't pay tribute to him. Now instead, the younger brothers are big fish and meat every day, but he himself eats bran and drinks water, and the direction of the plot development is not right.

This reminded him inexplicably of the original tool bug, Bai Zong'er. It can't go on like this. He must find a way to quickly turn the situation around.

Fortunately, the first black two and black three developed very quickly. With a sufficient supply of ant meat, their body size grew rapidly. Now I can go hunting with him. Of course, it is Rowan who does it. The two younger brothers are only responsible for transportation.

However, it can also save him a lot of effort and time. However, this is only temporary. With the increase of two adult worms per day, there are still possible egg hatching in the future. Thinking about it, the head is bigger.

Rowan also thought about letting them go to the surface to find food, but now the adult worms are all reduced versions, the body size is not fully developed, and it took a lot of effort to produce.

Now the number is still so small, it is estimated that it will be distressing for a long time to die, so let's wait for them to grow and grow. As long as they get through the tough times in the early stage, when they can forage on their own, life will be much easier.

After two more days, the first batch of eggs finally began to hatch.
