I Am the Swarm

The hatched ant larvae are like the eggs themselves with a handle. To be honest, they are placed together with the eggs, and it is really hard to distinguish them at first glance.

The hatching of the eggs meant that soon after, the number of Rowan's younger brothers exploded every day. However, before that, his workload has increased again.

Because these larvae need those adult black ants, half-digest the food they swallowed, then spit it out, and then feed them with these disgusting things.

And the meat supply of the entire worm nest only depends on Rowan's one worm.

And as more and more scout ants are killed, neighbors rarely send ants to the nest. Except for a small amount of people who got lost in other directions and turned around, they came in this direction from the neighbor's house, and I haven't seen them for a few days.

Faced with this situation, Rowan's hunting range is getting closer and closer to his neighbor's house. So that with his eyesight, standing at a slightly higher place, he can see the black ants coming in and out of the neighbor's hole.

Of course, no matter how daring he is, at the current level, he still wouldn't dare to provoke others at the door. However, this did not prevent him from observing from a slightly distant position to try to see if he could understand their habits and learn some experience from the actions of these ants. Hope to help him better manage the nest in the future.

Now when he hunts, he will bring six or seven black ants out.

Whenever a neighbor's black ant is killed, his own black ants will swarm up and divide it, and those who can't eat it will be divided into several parts and transported back to the worm's nest.

The dangers on the road have been cleaned up by Rowan, and there are pheromones that they leave behind as road signs, so I don't worry about them getting lost.

Now Rowan's hunting place is only ten meters away from the neighbor's house, and the neighbor's house is more than fifty meters away from the worm's nest. Therefore, it takes a lot of time for these black ants to go back and forth, and this time is the time for Luo Wen to open a small stove and observe and study.

This can not only meet the needs of many insects in the nest, but also reduce the burden on Rowan. Most of his day was wasted transporting food and traveling to and from hunting grounds.

Since adopting this method, although the ant transport is slightly slower than himself, it can free him a lot of time.

And these ants seem to be tireless, never knowing what it means to be lazy on the road. And Rowan himself went back and forth to the worm's nest every time, during which he had to take a break and think about the worm's life. In this way, the efficiency is not much different.

Today, while waiting for the transport team to return, Rowan discovered a strange thing happened in front of his neighbor's house.

A new breed of worm that came from nowhere struttingly burrowed into the hole of the ant nest, so the black ants not only did not stop it, but avoided it.

It's really strange, ant nests are their forbidden area, Rowan can use his gradually enriched knowledge of entomology to determine that the worms are definitely not relatives of ants, they are completely two species.

The whole body of the worm is yellowish-brown, slightly larger than those black ants, with a small head and chest, and flat, with a long abdomen behind it, which is also covered with a layer of carapace.

It is this carapace that exposes it, and ants don't have such a thing.

But how did he enter the ant nest freely? Rowan was puzzled.

Time flies, days pass by. Since Rowan has freed up most of his time and often opens a small stove, his body has increased a bit, and it is bigger than before.

However, although he fused the genes of the black beetle, he did not grow a pair of giant jaws on his head. Rowan guessed that first, there was not enough room for his head. A pair of big eyes took up half of his head, and there was no place to grow a giant jaw.

Moreover, the black beetle's head is flat, and the giant jaw can make it stronger, and he has a melon face.

However, the main reason is probably that the giant jaw will affect his digging ability. It is very inconvenient to have such a pair of things underground. Apart from this pair of eyes, all other genes that hindered his digging have been discarded, and he doesn't know why. Could it be that he is a coward in his heart?

Today, he found a giant ant at the entrance of the neighbor's hole. It is several times larger than ordinary black ants. It has stronger arthropods, stronger and sharper incisors, and its fighting power is far superior to ordinary ants.

Luo Wen has some comprehension. According to the knowledge he learned in kindergarten when he was a human being, those ordinary black ants should be worker ants, and this big guy should be soldier ants.

Although he used to call these worms in his neighbors ants, but now he is on a strange planet, they are only similar in shape, and he doesn't know what species they are. He doesn't know names, so he can only name them after similar creatures from his home.

I had only seen ordinary black ants before, I thought they didn't have such things as soldier ants, but I didn't expect one to appear. Is this a planet with a very similar environment to Blue Star? Even the insects you see are so similar?

Another thing he wondered was that he had never seen any flying creatures. It stands to reason that there are quite a few flying insects on Blue Star, but he has never seen any of them, which is really strange.

It may also be related to the fact that there are too few places he has explored, and there are not many species of insects that he has seen.

Because of the appearance of the transport team, he has plenty of spare time these days. After some thought, he has ruled out the option of being a wizard planet.

Because as a boasted so powerful insect species, after such a long period of development, he can't even push the ant nest horizontally.

This must be the problem. Either he has a problem, or the environment has problems, and the biggest possibility is that there are problems with both, which makes him so weak.

Moreover, not only has he never seen a flying insect, but he has never seen a reptile or mammal, let alone a humanoid.

Combining these two points, he felt that he was now in a completely unfamiliar new world. Although there are some flaws in the speculation, he chose to insist because it is good for his mental health.

Luo Wen didn't expect that the neighbor's house still hides this kind of military unit. In the past few days, his body has grown a bit, and his mentality has also swelled a lot. I always felt that he was not far from the horizontal push ant nest, and as a result, a basin of cold water was poured over today.

After these days of development, his body size is much larger than that of ordinary ants. But although this soldier ant is not as fat as him, it is still twice as long. Although both sides are only equipped with a pair of big teeth as weapons, Rowan has an extra half-armor, but even so, he still admits it. Head-to-head is not an opponent for soldier ants.

After all, he is a professional, and he lives for fighting, but he is only a part-timer, and his main business is digging holes.

Moreover, who knows how many such big killers are hidden in the neighbor's house, and the matter of pushing the ant nest horizontally should not be mentioned again.

But at this moment, a yellow-brown flashed in the distance to his right.
