I Am the Swarm

When Rowan regained consciousness again, he didn't know how long it had passed.

Although he didn't move, the fluff on his body told him that the white worms beside him were still nibbling on several of them tirelessly.

"Is it still a bug? It's not even dead yet?"

Originally, I still had a little fantasies, hoping to start a third life or return to a previous life after death.

Unexpectedly, this kind of insect, which sounds like a great breed, has such a tenacious vitality. When the intestines are opened and the stomach is broken, even if the food is just eaten on the top and the bottom is clean, it can still survive.

It's incredible.

But now I don't have much to feel good about. I checked my body and found that the third-order body with the belly twitched and pulled was shriveled and fell off to the side.

Although the wound has healed, but no new body has grown, making him look a little shorter.

The injury on the back can't be seen, but it shouldn't be a big problem. The broken leg wound on the hind leg has healed, and no new one has grown.

At this time, his body was extremely hungry. Since the tail has healed, it means that the food can be kept.

He dragged his weak body and forced himself to crawl back to several roots, where the white worm was drinking sap comfortably. There was nothing to say, just kicked it away and stepped forward.

After licking, I grabbed the white worm and came back to open it again. Just like this, after several rounds of cycles, my stomach finally felt full.

Just after he was full, his spirit began to get tired again. He couldn't care about anything else. Rowan moved his body and returned to the place where he was hiding just now, and passed out again.

Just like that, after waking up, kicking the white worm, eating, and then falling into a coma, Rowan's spirit finally recovered, and there were some sloughed shells scattered around him.

At this time, his appearance has changed greatly.

First of all, he found that his eyes were much bigger, and the two eyes could take up half the size of his head. And the viewing angle is also much wider, like a 360-degree wide-angle camera, you can even see your back.

This is the first time he has seen his back. Although he has never seen what it looks like before, he can feel that there is a small piece of hard armor on the back, and the rest is the long abdomen that is directly exposed. , which is why those ants can directly attack his abdomen.

But now, from the back of his neck, the original shoulder armor became larger, extending to both sides, and even his sides were wrapped in, and the protection on both sides of the body was greatly increased.

This is not to mention, from this shoulder armor further back, a semi-circular carapace grows, which protects his short abdomen. It makes his entire back look like a seven-star ladybug, except that his carapace is a whole piece, and it is pure black with some fluff on it.

The originally crippled hind limbs completely fell off, and then a new one grew, and it was thicker than before, covered with sharp barbs.

At the same time, he also discovered two new hind limbs, which can also exert force against the joints. If he is now lying on his back, with a more rounded figure than before, it should be more difficult to turn over.

But on the contrary, in this case, his two hind legs can touch the ground in opposite directions, and then force him up.

Finally, there are his mouthparts. The original licking mouthparts did not disappear, but became much smaller. Maybe it was because he didn't want to continue to trouble the tool worms in his heart, and a pair of big teeth that he had dreamed of grew at the corners of his mouth. In the future, he could finally be self-reliant by drinking tree sap.

All kinds of problems encountered in previous life have been compensated and improved in this round of evolution. Rowan could only shout silently, Yifei Ash, awesome!

Although it has been enhanced in all directions, Rowan does not intend to seek revenge on Ants right away. Two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that they are far more than four hands.

After this round of intensive, multi-directional evolution and enhancement, he has some understanding of his own body.

First of all, evolution also needs to follow energy conservation, which is why he eats many times in the middle.

Then, when encountering certain difficulties, the body will instinctively select a gene activation that is most suitable for solving such difficulties from the gene pool in the body. Sufficient energy in the body will speed up the activation speed. The external manifestation is that he found that digging was slow. At that time, he had just replenished his food and had sufficient energy, and then he grew a pair of digging feet.

Rowan felt that as he continued to grow and develop, he could even choose certain gene segments to activate independently.

The amount of this gene inventory is determined by the mother of the bug. If the breeding time is sufficient, then there will be a lot of prepared inventory, but vice versa.

But Efi Ash basically left a worm egg as a last resort when he was about to burp, so most of the worm eggs didn't carry much inventory.

Unfortunately, Rowan belongs to most of these cases, and it can even be said that there is basically no inventory. There are only some simple digging, eating, and genes such as heating kang and ice resistance, which are enough for the larvae to use in the early stage. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

However, this is enough. After the larvae have passed the weak early stage, they will definitely encounter a wide variety of creatures, see their various specialties and abilities, and then choose the most suitable arm for themselves.

Luo Wen has a clear understanding, maybe his understanding at the beginning was wrong. Perhaps it wasn't a hasty decision that the bugs left only a few basic genes for their offspring, but a deliberate, deliberate decision.

Every Efiash grows up in a different environment, and the creatures it comes into contact with are all kinds of strange. If you don't see it with your own eyes, select certain segments of the gene to activate. At that time, it's just a simple waste of energy. It's not good if something out of place grows.

Perhaps a long, long time ago, when faced with difficulties, Efi Ash rashly activated some genetic fragments that he had never seen before. In the end, not only did not solve the problem, but took a small life.

Perhaps, this selection of leaving only basic gene segments is also the result of evolution.

After thinking about it, Rowan felt that this decision was very, very reasonable.

It's like, if some idiot put a gene fragment of the Exploding Bug in the gene bank.

If one day he encounters some difficulties and needs to work hard, he may just want to find some methods that can stimulate his potential in a short period of time and enhance his strength with relatively few sequelae.

As a result, the gene pool has no wisdom and cannot understand too complicated ideas, but instinctively recommends this desperate method. And he chose to activate it without understanding the specific operation mode, and then woke up and found himself turned into a bomb...

Rowan is full of malicious guesses, maybe some seniors have encountered similar things.

Now he can finally rest assured and have a good night's sleep, and he no longer has to worry about playing himself to death in his wild thoughts.
