I Am the Swarm

These **** smells have attracted some hunters with a keen sense of smell, who are lurking, observing, and constantly approaching the base of the swarm.

But when they crossed a certain cordon, they were detected by the Type I flying insects patrolling in the sky. They immediately reported the situation through the swarm network to the two queens who were splitting up in the tree.

The two queens were previously authorized by a higher level, allowing them to view the field of vision of bugs with lower authority than them. After getting the report, they checked the situation at the scene. They didn't know how to deal with it, and immediately reported the situation to Rowan.

The whole process happened very fast. In fact, it took less than half a minute from when the intruder was discovered to when Rowan received the news. Some of those cautious hunters haven't even moved in place.

Rowan changed the perspective of the I-type flying insects of aerial reconnaissance, checked these pretenders, and found that the reason why these guys are so cautious is because they are weak chickens.

Although their species are different, they are generally not large in size, and the largest of them is only more than two meters long. They are mostly beasts, and whether they walk on two legs or on four legs, their limbs are relatively thick and they are good at running.

However, their offensive weapons and defenses are relatively backward, according to Rowan's observation and understanding of the creatures in this area during this period. Most of them are scavengers, that is, they feed on the remains of animals and plants, and they specialize in picking up leftovers.

Among them, there are pure scavenger players like Tail Fat Rat, who can't beat themselves and want to eat some meat. There are also players such as small dinosaurs who can hunt themselves, but are not too particular about leftovers.

Rowan manipulated the flying insect's body to look around, but did not find any opponents that he needed to pay too much attention to. He handed over the processing authority back to the ants, and asked them to entertain the guests. Since they are here, don't rush to leave.

The queen ant's ability to learn and imitate is still very strong, although the previous command battle that Rowan commanded ended too quickly. But at that time there were also dozens of ant queens watching, and everyone checked and filled the gaps among each other.

When I have new queens, I can teach them. It is impossible for Rowan to demonstrate in person every batch of queen ants. This is the same as when learning to drive, first come and teach later.

When his consciousness returned to his body, Rowan got up and hurried to the base. Although he does not need to direct the battle, no one can replace him in the subsequent transportation work.

By the time Rowan returned to the base, the battle had been over for a while. On the periphery of the base, there are many dead bodies of animals lying all over the place.

This is still the result of the insufficient strength of the insect hive, unable to attack at the same time, scaring away many pretenders.

This large pile of prey is quite numerous, and it adds up to more than two tons. Rowan was busy for a day before moving them back to the base.

During this period, there were two more waves of food delivery.

One of them is a beast that looks very much like a dog. It has black, white and yellow hair in three colors, which looks very lacking in beauty. They are not big, a group of more than ten, with strong limbs, fast running speed, and good endurance. It is a pity that these have not had time to play under the attack of the new venom.

At the same time, this stray dog's mouth has a special structure, and it has the strongest bite force among the beasts Rowan has ever seen. The leopards, which are larger than their size, are slightly inferior in this regard.

The Leopard is superior in explosiveness, it can burst into a powerful speed in a short period of time. But the endurance is obviously not as good as this canine creature.

And the leopard still acts alone. Fortunately, it can climb trees and catch birds. Otherwise, it can't really grab these canine creatures on land.

Many of the genes between them can complement each other. Maybe they can be used as a template to create a new type of fighting creature in the future.

There are mounds around the base. Because the swarm does not currently have large excavation units, the construction progress of the underground storage room is very slow.

And if this trend continues, the storage room will be out of order for a while.

But it's not a problem that these prey are always kept like this. Now, there are only some people who are stealing chickens and dogs. Who knows if they will come next time.

At this time, the food piled up here is enough for the appearance fee of those bigwigs.

Do you want to produce some more giant scorpions to dig holes?

But the growth period of the giant scorpion is also very long, and it takes dozens of days.

For such a long time, there are too many variables, but there is no other way for the time being. Rowan still placed an order for a few giant scorpions, and they are estimated to be able to leave the factory together with the heavy armored soldier ants.

After placing the order, Rowan was still a little unwilling. It was still a temporary solution. Now is not the time when the gene reserve was scarce. Recently, so many gene fragments have been received, and the ability has been several times stronger. It should be able to find a better solution.

Slowly calm down, go over the creatures that he has seen, and think about which abilities can help him.

In fact, the main problem now is that the scale of the insect swarm is too small. Thinking of the 10-kilometer-long corpse mountain at the beginning, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com has not been dealt with soon.

But at that time, no other creature dared to covet the spoils of the swarm.

It doesn't make sense to think about what happened before. Rowan's first thought was the saliva preservation method of worker ants. At first, they used a mixture of saliva and formic acid to wrap food for preservation.

Now this method is still effective, but there is still the same problem. The current size of the swarm is too small and the number of worker ants is insufficient. Millions of worker ants simply cannot process more than two tons of food in a short period of time.

Moreover, when they process food, due to the problems of body shape and method, they are bound to leak a lot of blood gas, and the safety is too low.

Next, Rowan thought about how many animals store food. But most of these guys are in a state of having a meal and don't know where the next meal will be. There is no such trouble as Rowan at all.

There are also some, such as tail fat mice, which have evolved special organs to store food in the body. None of these methods are meaningful to the current situation.

Suddenly, Rowan thought of those spiders that make webs.

Some of them will wrap the prey entangled in cobwebs with cobwebs for preservation, and inject a little toxin at regular intervals, so that the prey can neither escape nor die immediately.

Rowan looked at the prey that were already dead, and this method obviously didn't work. Maybe I can try it in the future, but it seems that none of the existing bugs in the swarm are equipped with glands that can produce spider silk.

Other spiders inject digestive juices into their prey, allowing the prey's epidermis to become a natural container that melts a little at a time for consumption.

That's what Rowan did when he hunted long-faced beasts. The melted muscle tissue must be eaten immediately, otherwise the rate of decay will be very fast.
