I Am the Swarm

As soon as the freshness of gaining wings passed, enthusiasm cooled, and reason took over the heights again.

The plan to fight the sky was temporarily put on hold, and now the main task is to keep the mother nest well and rebuild the structure of the swarm.

In the next few days, nothing happened except that the big-headed ants lost varying numbers of super giants every day.

The underground temporary base was completed yesterday. In addition to the individual rooms of Rowan and the mother's nest, there are also facilities such as hatching rooms and storage rooms. In addition, there are as many as five escape routes...

After a few days of recuperation, the brood has basically recovered.

Rowan placed a production order immediately, and the first batch of 50 adult worker ants was produced.

This production method consumes a lot of energy. Fortunately, the worker ants are too small compared to the size of the mother nest at this time. There will no longer be a situation where the queen ant spewed a black big, and it was sluggish for more than a week.

After half a day, fifty adult worker ants were in place.

Immediately afterwards, an order for 10,000 eggs per day was placed, and they would hatch worker ants, digger ants and spy ants.

In the early stage of the insect swarm, there is no need to produce combat troops. With the current resources, they cannot be supported temporarily. At present, the engineers are mainly filled first, and the wretched development will be discussed for a period of time.

The base is gradually on the right track, and the task of going out for hunting is carried out by Rowan himself. Since there is a "granary" next to it, the danger is very low. The base adds 10,000 eggs every day, and after hatching one after another, the fifty worker ants are no longer able to take care of them.

The mother nest suspended the order of eggs and gave priority to the production of adult worker ants for a week. The replenishment of hundreds of worker ants, although it still cannot meet the needs of the incubator, can only be relieved, but it can only be done at present.

After several rounds of genetic optimization, the current worker ants are already slaughtering very fast. As long as it persists for more than ten days, the first batch of chrysalis will break their shells, and the situation of tight human resources will be solved.

As for this period, those larvae were only fed less frequently. It's not a big problem to be hungry a little and not starve to death.

On this day, as soon as Rowan got out of the cave to hunt, he noticed some abnormal vibrations from the ground.

These vibrations are not like the ones that came from a distance a few days ago. They are earth-shattering. They are a little light, which means the maker is not too big and not far from Rowan.

There are too many obstructions in the jungle, and the vision is extremely poor.

Rowan carefully turned on the optical stealth, climbed up the tree trunk next to him, and planned to use the height advantage to see the target.

However, the view from above is also poor.

The membrane wings popped out from under the elytra, and Rowan stomped **** the tree trunk with his feet, and at the same time opened his wings and fanned a few times. In this way, although he can't fly, he can glide to another tree trunk not far away.

And, quietly.

This is a new way of using wings discovered by Rowan. When he was in a daze on the canopy, he saw a creature with a flying membrane under the arm of a taller tree in the distance.

At that time, because the distance was too far, Rowan only vaguely looked like a frog or some kind of lizard. He was not big. He jumped from a height, spread his limbs, and gliding to the distance and disappeared.

Looking back, Rowan followed suit and practiced by himself many times. Although there is no professional equipment like others, the membrane fins can barely make do.

However, due to his weight, the gliding distance is extremely short, and he can only use it on two adjacent tree trunks, and he has to use the help of jumping.

Although the flaws are very big, it can be regarded as a way to increase his movement. Considering the current situation, the safety is much improved.

Just after walking more than 20 meters, Rowan was surprised to find that an unknown creature was coming in his direction.

He stood still, and soon, he saw the true face of the unknown creature.

This is a creature somewhat like a dog, but its head is very slender and looks a bit wretched. It is more than one meter tall, and its body length, including its tail, is nearly three meters. The limbs are short and stubby, and there are three toes on the claws, which are very thick and powerful. It was covered in gray-brown steel hair and had no armor.

This long-faced beast came under the tree near Rowan, and the nose in front of the long-faced sniffing around seemed to be looking for something.

Rowan followed him carefully among the tree trunks to see what this guy was going to do. The opponent's body shape has an advantage, and it is unclear what talent he has, so it is not appropriate to act rashly for the time being.

Slowly, the long-faced beast actually approached the big-headed ant's leaf-cutting team. Then, as if it had found its target, it happily ran towards the big-headed ants.

As the distance continued to approach, a flexible and slender tongue more than half a meter long shot out from the long-faced beast's mouth. The tongue accurately hits a medium-sized soldier ant, then rolls it into the saliva, chews it a few times, and swallows it with a movement of the throat.

Rowan was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that this dog-like guy could actually practice the talent of a frog.

Afterwards, he was a little angry.

The big-headed ant nest next to the base~www.readwn.com~ has long been regarded as a granary by him. Now this guy, isn't this a tiger's mouth?

This long-faced beast also seems to be a veteran who knows the big-headed ant quite well. It keeps attacking with its long tongue while stuck at the attack distance. The worker ants and soldier ants disappeared quickly, and the big-headed ants, who were once the overlords of the party, didn't notice it.

The flaws are too obvious to be targeted easily.

After observing for a long time, Rowan found that this long-faced beast seemed to have no other talents besides its tongue. Think about it too, if this guy has many talents and outstanding abilities, he wouldn't be so big, and he actually came to attack the ants.

And for so long, this guy only sneaks up on ants below the size of a medium-sized soldier ant. And those giant and super-giant, long-faced beasts chose to avoid them far away.

Luo Wen had a clue in his heart, how dare he come to grab something to eat with such poor combat power?

Just when the long-faced beast was enjoying himself, he suddenly felt his back sink, staggered, and was almost crushed to the ground. It was about to struggle when suddenly the back of its neck hurt, followed by a light touch on its back, and the thing that was holding it down just now had left.

It was naturally Rowan who attacked just now.

The eyes of this long-faced beast are on both sides of its head, and its blind spot is above it. Rowan uses gliding and optical stealth to land silently on its back.

Before the long-faced beast could react, two fangs pierced the back of its neck. There is only fur covered here, and the skin below the fur is fairly hard, but its defense is far less than that of the exoskeleton armor, and the defense is easily broken by the fangs.

After injecting the venom, Rowan left the target immediately and climbed up the tree trunk again.

The poisoned long-faced beast, death is only a matter of time, there is no need to entangle with it, it is enough to wait slowly on the side.
