I Am the Swarm

Now, every worm in the worm nest has a gene segment that can eat soil. With this talent, it is not all solid food. If you want to eat more solid food, you can eat as much solid food as possible.

Ideas are quickly turned into actions.

Rowan first found 500 worker ants for the experiment, ordered them to eat one meal of soil every day, and then put the bio-compost beside the designated plants.

The effect of eating soil is very remarkable. The biological fertilizer produced by eating soil increases several times for the same number of worker ants.

During this period, he also ordered the worker ants to stop helping the aphids migrate. Whether it can help plants grow better still needs to continue to be tested, which takes a certain amount of time. So he plans to do a two-pronged approach, researching bio-fertilizers while curbing the expansion of aphids.

The experiment of biological fertilizer was very successful, maybe it conforms to some natural laws. The biological fertilizer produced by the worker ants eating soil is much better than the biological fertilizer produced by eating water droplets before.

As a result, the original order that only five hundred worker ants need to eat soil per day quickly spread to all the bugs except Rowan and the spy bugs who were eating and drinking in the ant nest incubation room.

The more than 20,000 worms in the worm nest produce a considerable amount of biological fertilizer every day. Rowan has hatched some worker ants, which are specially responsible for transporting these biological fertilizers to the feet of the vegetation in the territory.

Although the plants were fertilized, the previous order to curb the number of aphids was still being carried out.

Now that the number of aphids has been able to supply the nest needs, there is still a surplus every day, so there is no need to increase their feeding amount at present.

The vegetation crisis has been resolved, and life has stabilized again. The benefits of the worms' lack of self-awareness are revealed, and they work tirelessly every day without complaining.

Now Rowan likes to climb the trunk of the tallest tree in this territory every day, and watch the insects below busy in an orderly manner.

He didn't like the dark and damp environment underground, and the small and claustrophobic space. Before, he was forced to help himself, so he could only protect himself underground.

Now that he has the ability, he can be regarded as a hegemon. Although the territory is not large, there is no need to hide in the ground all the time.

Suddenly, a little disturbance on the tree trunk next to him caught Rowan's attention.

A few worker ants seem to have found something during the march. As the overlord of this place, the worker ants naturally stepped forward to check.

I don't know what was posted, but the ants spread the gathering pheromone. When the passing worker ants came into contact with this information, they all stopped.

The number of worker ants is increasing, and they surround the place, as if they are about to fight.

But what was strange to Rowan was that the vegetation was not too far away from him.

He could see the worker ants clearly, but he didn't find what they were surrounding. In Rowan's vision, it was just an ordinary bark.

In this boring day-to-day life, I finally came across something novel, which instantly attracted Rowan's curiosity.

Stretching out his legs, he jumped from the tree trunk in a leap of faith, landed on the grass below, and fell all over, with his belly up.

However, his feet are very flexible now, with seven knots, and he can easily flip his feet to support himself.

After getting up, he quickly crawled towards the incident.

As he got closer to the encirclement of worker ants, Rowan also discovered something different.

Although the bark was almost indistinguishable from the one next to it, under the high-resolution eyes, one could barely see that the bark showed the outline of a bug.

Is it just a camouflage bug?

Rowan lost interest a little. In the woods under the cliff, there were also camouflage bugs and black beetles that he had seen in the desert bushes.

They don't seem to be restricted by natural yellow ants, and they also have branches and leaves here, and there are a lot of them.

However, the camouflage worm's combat power is low. If its sneak attack ability is king-level, then its head-to-head ability is only bronze-level.

And its camouflage ability is useless for blind soldiers like worker ants, who use pheromones to identify friends and enemies. After being discovered, just a few worker ants can arrange it clearly.

As for the black beetle, it can only be said that if it doesn't run, and waits for the worker ants to call for reinforcements, then the only thing waiting for it is to recover the protein.

The worker ants' individual combat ability is not strong, but their ability to fight in groups is very strong, and they can even call for helpers, making them the dominant force in this area.

Even Rowan had a headache at first, and the grasshoppers that he couldn't catch killed several of them every day.

I don't know how they do it.

Rowan has already tasted the taste of grasshoppers, but the only strong hindlimb gene that can make Rowan fancy, only strengthens his leg muscles, and does not reach the level of grasshoppers.

Suddenly, Rowan, who was caught in the memory, came back to his senses, and he found something different. The "camouflage bug" in front of him seemed to be a little different.

The bark it uses for camouflage doesn't seem to be added later, but the color markings on its body look exactly like the bark.

This is a bug that has never been seen before.

Rowan raised his interest again~www.novelmt.com~The new species of bugs means new gene fragments, so it doesn't matter if they can be used or not, they will be collected first.

He quickened his pace, took a few steps to the outside of the encirclement, the tentacles swayed, and the worker ants gave way.

The size of this new bug is smaller than that of the camouflage bug, and it is also relatively slender. Unlike the camouflage bug, it has thicker shoulder and back armor.

The color of its whole body is exactly the same as the surrounding environment, and it blends into it. Even the pattern on the back armor is almost the same as the texture of the bark.

The worm ignored Rowan's approach and remained motionless.

Rowan carefully stretched out his digging foot and touched it. Rowan's body size is many times larger than that of a worm, and a single digging foot is no different from this worm.

To the touch of the digging feet, the worms did not respond as if they were real tree bark.

With a little added force, he pushed the worm. Although the body of the worm was shaken a little, it still pretended to be dead. However, Rowan could see the small claws under it clasping the bark for a while.

Rowan wanted to laugh a little bit. Could it be that this worm thought that it could really be deceived by pretending that it didn't move the bark?

As if his IQ had been humiliated, Rowan digged with all his strength, and he shouted at the beginning of Roche's martial arts.

Although the worm is slender and thin, it is more resistant to beatings than expected. After being hit hard by Rowan, there is no serious problem.

However, it seemed to understand at this time that it was really exposed, no longer pretending to be the bark, the short limbs loosened the bark, and with a vigorous kick, it broke away from the trunk and fell towards the ground.

A magical thing happened. After the bug fell to the ground, the color of its body changed, and it quickly became the same color as the surrounding grass.

Its figure reintegrated into the surrounding environment and disappeared.
