I Am the Swarm

Chapter 3: look for food

When Rowan woke up again, he could feel that the temperature around him was lower, and he was a little hungry, but the eggshell had already been eaten. An eggshell twice his size was enough for two meals, and I don't know where it went.

And from this, it can be inferred that his appetite is quite good. Although it is a blessing to be able to eat, it is not good news for him.

There was a desert on the surface, and before his food arrived, he might starve to death in a few days.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of urgency, but he couldn't be a starving ghost.

So, sensing the direction of the surface, using all six limbs, climbed all the way up.

The surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower, and Rowan even wondered if he was climbing in the wrong direction, but the tentacles and leg hair were telling him that he was right, and he could only bite the bullet and move on. Oh, and his scalp was already hard and dark.

The moment he climbed out of Sha Shuo, he was stunned, the yellow sand around him disappeared, and a layer of silver frost covered the ground. If it weren't for the fact that the geology along the way had not changed, he would have thought that he had crossed again.

"What the **** is this place? The temperature difference between day and night is huge." It should be dark at this time, and the light is much weaker. The amazing thing is that he can see a distance of five or six meters, which is a lot farther than last time. Are you a nocturnal bug? Rowan was a little unsure.

However, even if the viewing distance has been enhanced, it is still difficult to see what the cool light source in the sky looks like. However, the quantity he could feel.

two! At this time, there are actually two light sources in the sky!

During the day, there is only one light source in the sky, and he still has the possibility of being teleported back to his hometown. But now, this possibility has been completely cut off.

According to Rowan's limited astronomical knowledge, he can conclude that there are at least two moons hanging in the sky.

However, he soon accepted the reality, and he has become a bug. How big is the number of moons in the sky? He has been shocked too much in the past two days and has become immune to it.

The three-choice one became the second-choice one. At this time, he only hoped that he would not travel to that wizard's world, where the danger was too high, and it was obviously not the place where a little bug like him should stay.

Of course, the main task now is to fill his stomach, otherwise, he may not wait for the day when he finds out where he is.

I hadn't seen the food for a while, but there was a layer of frost on the ground. Rowan decided to drink some water first.

His mouthparts are a bit long, the front end is like a mushroom head, and at this time it is flattened into a disk and attached to the ice. The small teeth hidden inside quickly stabbed the ice surface, scraping a little bit of debris every time, which was sucked into the abdomen with the help of the tongue.

Rowan doesn't know what he looks like when he eats, and he doesn't want to know, he just uses these organs instinctively. And the worm even has a tongue. This is really seeing the undead. Before he became a worm, he didn't know this.

After sucking for a long time, only a shallow ice pocket appeared on the ice, which showed that his feeding efficiency was poor. But he had no other choice but to continue.

The icy liquid flowed into his abdomen, and he felt that his whole body became a little stiff. The gradually stagnant consciousness recalled that when I was a human being, in the winter, those pesky mosquitoes and flies disappeared.

Only then did he realize that he had already become a bug. In such a cold weather, he would go out and drink ice-cold drinks, wouldn't he kill himself?

The fright made him come back to his senses, and in a panic, he crawled back along the route he had come from.

This place is too dangerous. It's too hot during the day and too cold at night. So when do you go looking for food? I was planning to drink enough water just now to check the surroundings a little to find out if there is any food, but now I can only give up.

Back in the depths of the ground, Rowan, who just woke up, didn't want to rest. And there is no time for him to rest, he must find a source of food as soon as possible.

Since the surface doesn't work, let's find it underground. His excavation talent is quite extraordinary. Wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't make good use of it?

Do what you want, Rowan immediately started to do it, chose a random direction, and digged in.

The two tentacles on the top of the head constantly vibrated, bringing him some novel experiences and at the same time conveying a lot of information to him. They seemed to have the functions of both the nose and the ears, and could smell smells and hear sounds.

While walking forward, the tentacles suddenly smelled an unfamiliar smell from the lower left position. Unfamiliar means the unknown, and it probably means food. Rowan got excited and digged in that direction at a faster speed.

As the distance got closer, the unfamiliar smell became stronger and stronger, but Rowan gradually slowed down.

He came out to find food, not to deliver food.

He is now thin and small, not as big as a bigger blowfly, and he has just been "born" and has not learned the fighting skills of insects. But if he encounters someone who is alive and can fight back, he estimates that he will not be able to fight, so he still has to make a move and act cautiously.

He worked hard to integrate into the insect's instinct, and slowly, not only did the fluff on Rowan's legs stand up, but even the fluff all over his body stood up.

The various vibrations coming from the front left were completely sensed by his body, slowly converging into information and sending it to his brain. After further brain integration and analysis, he came to a conclusion.

There are living creatures in front of them. There are about three or four in number. They move slowly and are not as big as him. You can touch them first and take a look. If you find something wrong, run away immediately. There are no cooked worms here, so don't be afraid to lose face.

Rowan's digging skills are a little uncomfortable here. The small claws on his front legs are a good hand to pick up Shashuo, but he can't handle the soil deep in the ground.

Fortunately, it hasn't completely reached the soil layer here, it's just a half-sand and half-earth structure, and he is only a little slower.

And the sand here is more supportive. He dug a channel by digging and squeezing again and again, and then transported the excavated sediment to the sand layer above.

After a while, he dug out a passage that was just enough for his body to pass through, so that he could escape more quickly when he encountered danger.

Getting closer and closer to the goal, Rowan's movements became softer, but his body collapsed and tightened. Suddenly, as the sand in front of him was ripped apart, a round, chubby white transparent bug rolled in front of him.

Its body is section by section, there are more than ten sections in total, but only three pairs of short limbs and a small yellow head grow on the front sections of the body. But what Rowan can't accept is that this thing has a pair of mighty big teeth.

The size of the little thing is not much different from that of Rowan, but a little smaller. At this time, he was suddenly pulled out of the mud and sand, and he was constantly curling up and stretching his body. There was also a faint hissing sound in his mouth, hoping to scare him away. Rowan.

Looking at Bai Zong'er, who had difficulty even turning over in the sand, Luo Wen no longer panicked, his courage became stronger, and he sneered in his heart.

"Small sample, don't think that if you have a pair of big teeth, I will be afraid of you!"
