I Am the Swarm

Chapter 35: Pathfinder

Rowan still misses the long-lost solo expedition.

But last time he was relatively weak and injured, so he only dared to dig a hole in the ground to move forward. But now, his self-protection ability has been greatly improved. Even if he encounters the khaki ant army head-on, he can escape in advance with the advantage of vision.

Seeing so many worms waiting to be fed in the worm nest, he was still a little impatient, thinking that even if he took a little risk, he would try to get back as soon as possible. But when the cold wind blew after he came out, he calmed down.

In the end, those worms are just tools without brains, even if they are a mother nest, it does not mean that they cannot be lost. If it was really time to endanger his life, then of course his life was the most important thing, and all other external things could be discarded.

As long as life is still there, those things can be recovered by hard work. That worm nest is only the result of his more than a month, if he starts again, he already has experience, and it won't take long to recover.

Of course, it's the best not to give up, he's just making a plan for the worst.

And if it's just him, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, not to mention that he can eat tree bark and drink tree sap to survive. And the last time he took a mouthful of the body fluid of a fetid earthworm, he also absorbed some gene fragments and evolved them. If it really doesn't work, you can still eat soil and absorb the minerals and decaying substances in the soil to sustain life.

However, he wouldn't do it unless he had to. After all, eating dirt is not a good word for his human soul. However, in the future, you can consider adding this gene to the new bugs. In the future, in a special situation like now, you can also eat soil.

After trying to understand some things, his mentality became much more relaxed, and his originally impatient pace also slowed down.

Moving along the bed of the underground river, this time he didn't dig a hole in the ground, the speed was too slow. Although he needs to be cautious, he doesn't have to be too cautious.

On the ground, the vision is better, and some situations can be better explored. When encountering difficulties that cannot be overcome, it is not too late to drill holes.

The light source in the sky is slowly rising, but the earth that has been ravaged by the yellow ants is still dead, and some of the original insects have disappeared.

After crawling for an unknown time, the earth was still barren, everything was silent, and even the smelly earthworms that he couldn't swallow at the time were gone. Luo Wen smacked his tongue secretly, this army of yellow ants is afraid that there must be tens of millions, otherwise how can they cause such a large area of ​​damage.

On the way, I met a few sparse yellow ants, and they all sent them to his stomach for a meeting. With food supplements, he also does not feel tired.

There was a rumbling sound of water in front, and the moisture in the air also increased a lot. As we continued on, the moisture had turned into visible water, and the sound of the water had become deafening.

After walking a short distance, Rowan knew the source of all this. The ground in front of him suddenly sank for no reason, forming a cliff several tens of meters high with the land under his feet. The water flow of the underground river rushed out from the cliff, forming a waterfall, and falling to the small lake below stirred up the water vapor and made a huge noise.

Rowan was careful to crawl to the edge of the cliff. He was a little afraid of heights when he was a man, and his legs were shaking a little when he stood on the fifth floor and looked down. The last time I was caught in the air, the surroundings were pitch black, I couldn't tell how high it was, and I didn't activate the fear of heights attribute.

However, after he probed out and took a look, he still did not activate the fear of heights attribute this time. After he turned into a bug, this problem was miraculously healed by himself.

In the end, fear of heights is just a psychological disorder, perhaps because of the experience of falling from a high altitude last time. In the depths of Rowan's heart, he no longer thought that a simple high-altitude fall could kill him, so this obstacle was naturally lifted.

After a little surprise, Rowan was also a little happy. After all, his weakness was made up for one thing, which is worth being happy about.

The scene below is a little blurry, and the height of the cliff has exceeded Rowan's clear field of vision. He could only judge by some vague patches of color, a lake beneath the waterfall, and a patch of green around the lake.

It was a plant, and it was not ravaged by khaki ants below, and there was still an intact ecology. Maybe this cliff blocked them and made them change their direction of travel.

However, now he is also in the trouble of how to get down safely. The cliffs under his feet are all stone structures. Although his digging feet are awesome, I am afraid it will not come in handy. Could he just jump off? Can't fall to death anyway.

Rowan started to move sideways along the edge of the cliff, and even if he wanted to jump, he couldn't jump at the place just now. Below is the lake. He has no experience in water fighting. If he encounters any water combat troops, he can only wait to die.

After crawling for hundreds of meters, the color block below UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is finally not gray-blue, and the crowns of some tall trees can be clearly seen. It was far from the waterfall, and Rowan found that the cliffs here were much rougher, not as smooth as they were washed away by the water just now.

He tried to find a way to climb down. His last six limbs have sharp hooks. As long as the cliff wall is not a mirror, he should be able to climb down slowly.

Along a crack in the rock, there are some rubble and some moss in the crack. Rowan carefully hooked the rock wall with his hook and slowly climbed down.

Although the thick shoulder armor and back armor provide quite strong defense, the weight is also very amazing. I didn't feel it at ordinary times, but when it was in a semi-suspended state at this time, the weight was a little obvious.

Fortunately, his hooking claws seem to be slender and weak, but they are actually very strong. With his powerful arthropods, his body is firmly fixed on the rock wall.

As he slowly approached the ground below, Rowan's vision gradually became clearer. Perhaps because it is closer to the water source, the ground below is lush and lush, and the soil below is all covered with green.

And the vegetation here is completely different from the ones above the cliff. Rowan is not a botanist, so he can't tell what subjects they belong to, but they can also be seen by their appearance.

There is more vitality here, and also, hidden under these green colors, are more abundant species of insects and more diverse genetic fragments.

The chirping of insects that he had never heard in the grass came from far away, and Rowan was a little excited that he was finally able to meet new friends. I wonder if they would like to appreciate his Roche fighting skills.

However, just when he was only five or six meters away from the ground, suddenly, an aboriginal popped out of the crevice of the cliff and attacked him first.
