I Am the Swarm

Found a new change, Rowan stepped on the silt at the bottom of the river and slowly moved towards the sea outlet.

The slowly salty sea water did not make Rowan feel the slightest strangeness. His new underwater breathing system can perfectly filter out the salt in the sea water.

After leaving the sea entrance and gradually entering the sea, Rowan was a little disappointed by the underwater scene here.

Maybe it's because of the cold. There are very few underwater plants, but there are quite a few shrimps and crabs lurking in the crevices of the reefs on the seabed. Some even wanted to take the opportunity to attack Rowan.

Rowan's chelicerae is still a powerful weapon on the seabed, but the resistance in the water makes it more bulky, and it is difficult to take those small and very flexible shrimp creatures in a good way.

But those crabs who also held their double claws to demonstrate against him were killed by him. Unfortunately, he does not have the ability to eat underwater, and it is not convenient to carry, so he can only discard these super fresh seafood in vain.

As he continued to advance along the seabed, the water became deeper and deeper, and the pressure on him became greater and greater. However, his exoskeleton armor seems to have good pressure resistance naturally, so he didn't feel much discomfort.

When Rowan dived to more than 300 meters, it was difficult for the sunlight on the sea to reach this depth. While his unique eye structure allows him to see with a little light, his eyes can't do anything about the situation without a little light.

When the water depth was nearly 400 meters, the surroundings were completely pitch black. The fear of the unknown made Rowan not dare to go deeper. The air sacs between his belly and his carapace began to inflate, carrying his body slowly toward the sea.

As the altitude rose, the surrounding scene began to re-transmit into Rowan's mind.

At this moment, a skin-shrimp-like creature suddenly sprang out from the darkness below, rushing towards him at a very fast speed.

However, its body, which is only ten centimeters long, does not make Rowan feel threatened, although he also has no very good way to use the mobile Pippi shrimp.

Although Rowan's movements can't keep up with Pipi Shrimp, he can see it clearly with a good dynamic visual capture system. This Pippi shrimp was different from what he remembered. The two forelimbs were not sharp "sickles", but a pair of small hammers.

Pippi Shrimp turned nimbly in the sea water, and approached Rowan in a few strokes. Rowan stretched out his limbs awkwardly to drive it away. By the way, try to see if the blind cat can touch the dead mouse.

If Pippi Shrimp could talk, he would definitely complain, "You're thinking about farting!"

In between, Pippi Shrimp was suddenly blocked by a large claw, and immediately rushed forward. Rowan saw a flash of light across the corner of his eye, and then the claw felt a heavy blow.

Rowan knew that Pippi Shrimp attacked him with her forelimb of the hammer at this time, but with his dynamic vision that was in no way, he couldn't see what happened just now.

At this moment, Pippi Shrimp seemed to finally realize that Rowan, the big guy, was not easy to mess with. He was so flexible that he turned around and disappeared into the dark deep sea in a few moments.

Since Rowan has grown to such a large size, he has never been so provocative, but looking at the dark and boundless sea, it is estimated that this revenge is difficult to avenge.

After emerging from the sea, Rowan identified the direction. At this time, he was already several kilometers away from the land. He lifted up the impacted limb and looked at it, and there was a small crack on it. Although the injury was not serious, it was extremely insulting and became even more angry for a while.

But after the anger, Rowan was speechless again. His claws could be said to be the most sturdy parts of his body armor. Coupled with the size gap between him and Pippi Shrimp, Pippi Shrimp's attack can actually cause damage to him.

This is not an insidious trick like poisoning. Pipi Shrimp's frontal and rigid combat power simply breaks through the sky. If Rowan is about the same size as it, I am afraid that he will have to be pierced through the armor at once.

Since Rowan only has a pair of swimming feet, he is not swimming very fast. Fortunately, he is not in a hurry. There are all kinds of huge ice blocks all around him, and it seems that they are floating from farther north.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and an oval-shaped, flat-bodied insect of unknown species was frozen on the ice block in front of him.

This can be regarded as a pleasant surprise. Rowan has never seen this bug before, and eating it will definitely get some new gene fragments.

Although I don't know if it will help.

He climbed up on the ice cube, shoveled the ice with his claws with difficulty, and dug out the worm.

I don't know if this worm is dead or alive, but it looks like it's been frozen for a long time, so it must have been farting long ago. Fortunately, because it has been refrigerated, the freshness is not bad.

After eating some snacks, Rowan finally returned to land after spending a little more time.

There is not much to see here for the time being. It is not a reliable thing to explore the sea by himself. And he doesn't like the environment here.

Although his cold resistance attribute is not bad, the cold can still delay his senses, which is very bad.

Therefore, after he ordered the team to continue to station here, they began to return to the main base.

Go back to the main base and link to the mother nest.

First, update the genes of the queen ant orders that have not yet been produced, and load the new underwater breathing system into it.

At the same time, Rowan also learned about the gene of the unknown frozen bug. It has a special dormancy talent. When it was dug out by Rowan~www.novelmt.com~, it didn't have a fart, it was just hibernating. No wonder it was so fresh and had no smell at all.

Rowenza Baza stammered, recalling the taste of seafood. This talent is useless for the time being, so don't worry about it.

After dozens of days, the first batch of new versions of the queen ants matured, and Rowan immediately sent them to the seaside development base.

More than a hundred days later, a killed Pipi shrimp was sent to Rowan.

But after a long journey of thousands of kilometers, the Pipi shrimp was already smelly and the meat was rotten. Although Rowan is not so particular now, he is still unable to speak.

No way, in order to eat fresh seafood sashimi, Rowan traveled for dozens of days to the seaside base.

An ant queen has been stationed here, and the scale of the base has expanded a lot. For Rowan's arrival, the base did not hold any grand welcome ceremony, but just rearranged his original "heating room".

After resting for a day, the next morning, the swarm navy set off under Rowan's watch.

Since there is only one Type II ant queen in this base, and its egg-laying ability is not strong, there are not too many insects that can go into the sea, and there are only two types.

One uses crab as a gene template, and the other uses green shrimp as a template.

The two insects have their own advantages and disadvantages. The crab's powerful claws and thick carapace give them a fairly high offensive and defensive index, but their mobility is very poor.

Although the attack and defense index of green shrimp is not high, the way of catapulting and swimming gives them changeable movement trajectories and fast movement speed.

On the other hand, Pipi Shrimp is flexible and fast in movement, not weak in defense, and very strong in attack, like a tyrant in the sea.

Therefore, it takes some luck to hunt Pipi shrimp just by crabs and green shrimp.
