I Am the Swarm

So how do you enrich your gene pool?

The method is really too simple. If you see the ability of any creature, just eat it directly!

The premise is that you can beat the opponent.

"It's not simple at all, is it?" Rowan complained.

However, right now there is a creature he can beat.

Rowan began to think about what he needed in the white worm.

A chubby white and tender body? Slow-moving, short, clumsy arthropods? And the only thing I saw before was the pair of big teeth, but unfortunately, Rowan has grown out on his own.

Thinking about it this way, he currently only has white worms that he can beat, which is worthless to him? Somewhat frustrated.

But after thinking about it again, there is still some value. The energy that meat can provide to the body is far more than the juice of rhizomes.

Rowan has long wanted to taste the taste of white worms. Is it chicken-like and crispy? It's a pity that the mouthparts and claws were not strong before, and there was nothing to do with the tough skin of the white worm.

Now, with a pair of sharp teeth, I can finally give it a try.

Ifeish's body subtly affects his mind.

In the past when he was a human being, it was absolutely impossible for him to eat that disgusting white worm, let alone eat it raw. But now, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, instead he felt that the white worm was tender and attractive.

Looking at the white worm in front of him, Rowan didn't do anything. This is still an old friend. He was a tool worm for a long time when he was training.

After hesitating for a while, in the end, Rowan chose to let it go. He was really a kind bug. With a sigh, he silently praised himself.

After digging a little distance to the side, he immediately found another white worm. This one hasn't helped him, it's not a cooked worm, so there's no need to hesitate!

Sharp Big Tooth achieved good results in his first battle, and Rowan's helpless tough skin was easily bitten.

Ignoring the white worm's struggle and rolling, the licking mouthparts penetrated into its body.

Then, Rowan discovered a new problem. This mouthpart needs to continue to evolve, and eating meat or something is still not good.

This mouthpart is good for eating, sucking and licking, and it is very efficient to eat soft things, but it is a little powerless to face slightly tough foods, such as meat.

The white worm gradually stopped struggling, and its body gradually shriveled.

He took out his mouthpiece, rubbed his midfoot against his belly, and moved to the tree root beside him. He bit a hole and sucked in some juice. Finally, he was full.

Overall, the taste was not bad, Rowan nodded in satisfaction. From now on, we can also be regarded as carnivorous insects.

Leaving a white worm skin in place, Rowan dug all the way back to the home he built. Nothing has changed here since he left, and it seems that there are no unexpected visitors.

Lying in the room, Rowan began to think after dinner.

The gene pool must be enriched, but it is not in a hurry. In this round of evolution, he learned some of his own situation, in addition to the gene pool, there is also information about lifespan.

After all, Efi Ash is an extraordinary species in a world, and its larvae have a life span of at least a hundred years, and the life span will continue to grow as it grows.

No one knows how long it will live. After all, there must be multiple evolutions that accompany growth, and even a worm doesn't know what it can grow into at maturity.

In the other continent, all creatures with strange appearance and unknown origins are marked with the label of Efi Ash, and only God knows which ones are real and which are fake.

Of course, that's not what Rowan said in the information he got. The bugs who left the information have no concept of time, they only know that they have lived for a long, long time.

Its unit of measurement is also very strange, the replacement of the three kingdoms.

Luo Wen pondered for a long time. From the establishment of a kingdom to its demise, it could not be completed in a year or a half. According to the memory of his previous life, the three kingdoms, good guy, how many years was that? He didn't study history well, so he couldn't count.

Anyway, the question of lifespan suddenly came to a conclusion, and his mood relaxed a lot. After all, in his previous cognition, insects were all short-lived species.

As for how the bug that left this information killed himself, he recalled it several times and found no information related to it.

Don't know if it's okay, anyway, Rowan doesn't care about it, it's just pure curiosity.

There is no sense of urgency in time, and food reserves are quite abundant.

The roots of that big tree don't know how wide the area is, and they are covered with those kinds of white worms. With Rowan's current size, he won't be able to eat them all in a while.

And the white worms are obviously the larvae of some kind of worm. What do their adults look like? How often do you breed? How long does it take for new eggs to hatch? How long does it take to grow to the size of a white worm?

Rowan felt that he had a long-term observation target. Maybe this white worm is a renewable resource with a very fast recovery rate. That way, your long-term meal ticket problem will be solved.

As for those ants, Rowan felt that he was not a vengeful person, but who made him a bug now. So this revenge is definitely going to be avenged, but he is not in a hurry. He decides to hold on to it and develops for a while before talking about it.

Even if no new abilities have been evolved during this time, he can continue to strengthen the existing gene fragments, he can become stronger, the outer armor is thicker, the defense is stronger, and the resistance is stronger.

Those guys are the second creatures he has seen in this strange place, and they are also excellent providers of genetic materials.

Their ejection starts, their hook-like teeth, and the magic attack that sprays feces from their tails! After he becomes stronger, all these are his.

However, when he talked about the last one, he was angry. Everyone was fighting meleely, but suddenly the whole ranged attack came out, and it was such a disgusting attack method. Is this what people do? Well, it really wasn't done by humans.

However, without those long-range sneak attacks, Rowan would not have escaped so embarrassed at his own expense, and he might even have to kill a few.

In ego YY, consciousness gradually sinks into darkness.

A strange sound and a strong and dense vibration awakened Rowan, who was sleeping, and he quickly got up.

The fluff all over his body stood up, strange voices kept coming, and the surface didn't know what happened.

Worm doesn't know if he has curiosity, but Rowan is a human soul after all. He is curious and quite heavy.

After crawling back and forth for a few laps, he couldn't bear his curiosity. He finally decided to go up and take a look to see what happened.

On the way, Rowan diverged his thoughts, imagining whether two super beasts were fighting, and then just dropped a few drops of blood essence on his head, and he has since reached the peak of insect life.

Hehe, it was written like this in the book. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and the digging was a little quicker.

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die.

When Rowan approached the surface, he had already recognized that the strange sound was just the whistling wind, and the vibration of the ground was just the sound of wind and sand hitting the ground.

He was a little disappointed, the sandstorm should be nothing to see, and he just planned to go back the same way.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a huge danger looming over him, and the fluff on his body stood up in shock.

But before he could react, a strong force lifted him into the air with the gravel next to him.
