I Am the Swarm

When he climbed to the surface again, it was already night. The cold moonlight sprinkled the earth, and the thin frost on the ground reflected a crystal.

Rowan didn't feel too much. After all, he was already far away from where he was. Maybe the problem here at night would not be too low.

But it is also possible that his ice resistance has increased, but due to the change of position, no accurate conclusion can be drawn.

There were still two light sources hanging high in the sky. Although Rowan still couldn't see clearly, he could already vaguely sense the positions of the light sources and their colors. One white is slightly yellow, the other is slightly red, and the yellow and white is a few circles larger than the red and white.

The cold wind blew, and the surroundings were quiet, without any insects or other sounds. In this situation, it seems a little eerie.

The six feet stepped on the frost, making slight sounds and vibrations, and Rowan carefully explored forward.

The small green leaves on the surrounding shrubs are also gathered up and close to the branches. The original yellow-white branches seemed to be wearing a green coat. Rowan speculates that this may be their unique measure of keeping warm.

Since there was no trouble, not even the relatives and friends of the giant earthworm have encountered it. Therefore, although the search was very slow, Kung Fu had gone a long way in a while.

Previously, his position had been directly above the underground river, so that he could collect food and water more quickly.

But as the riverbed rises, in order to ensure his strategic depth underground, Rowan has shifted slightly from the route of the underground riverbed.

Now his position has become hundreds of meters away, parallel to the flow of the underground river, so that he is not far from the river, and there is sufficient thickness of soil to ensure safety.

Rowan still doesn't understand the rotation and revolution system of this strange planet. The original world's timekeeping method does not apply here. He has been climbing for a long time, but the sky still hasn't changed, and the sun has no intention of coming out to work.

Feeling that the energy reserve in the body was about to drop to half the level, Rowan stopped moving forward.

In this strange and dangerous place, he did not dare to completely exhaust his physical strength. Instead, it will stop every time it is close to half, and then reserve more than half of the stamina to deal with possible emergencies.

After supplementing some food from the roots of the bushes, he climbed deep underground to rest.

After a few days of slow progress, the number of plants on the surface has gradually increased, and the species have also been enriched.

The last time Rowan climbed to the surface was in broad daylight, and he saw a big scene not long after walking.

A giant black worm, more than ten times bigger than him, about the size of a human hand. A pair of very exaggerated giant jaws grow in front of the flat head, and the body is divided into three sections from the back, covered with a thick shell. The six short limbs make it look very low in chassis, and a pair of equally small tentacles protrude from both sides of the large jaw.

At this moment, the black beetle was surrounded by dozens of equally black ant-like insects. They are nothing special. They have a very ordinary appearance. They have neither seen the exaggerated hooks and big teeth of the khaki ants last time, nor have they used feces to attack. They have to show their talents to know.

At this time, the two sides were drawn to each other, and the battle was about to break out.

The black beetle walked slowly and leisurely, seeming to be disdainful of the little man surrounding it.

And the black ants are besieging but not attacking, and it seems that they will continue to wait for help. Speaking of which, this black ant is a bit smaller than Rowan, and I don't know why I want to challenge such a giant.

Rowan's advantages are also reflected at this time. Although his two big eyes are short-sighted in the eyes of humans, they are definitely clairvoyant in insects.

He was fighting in the line of sight of the opposing sides, as long as he was careful not to make too much noise, he would not attract their attention.

Because in insects, the eyes are not very good, and other senses are generally more powerful.

He couldn't afford to provoke the two parties in front of him. He paid a heavy price to watch the fun last time. Not only did he lose his self-built nest, but he was also displaced for so long.

Although he had always vowed that he would be a dog if he watched the fun again, but when he came across the fun to watch, he still couldn't control himself. If you change into a dog, you will become a dog. The dog is much more powerful than the current fingernail-sized bug.

But he still learned some lessons, that is, don't get too close to watch the fun, watch it secretly, so as not to get burned.

The gradually shrinking encirclement of the ants still aroused the dissatisfaction of the black beetle. It seemed to be a little irritable.

The tense atmosphere finally reached a critical point, and the black beetle could no longer bear it. A forward charge, a pair of big jaws clamped a black ant, and it seemed that without much effort, the black ant separated with its head.

The two bodies fell to the ground, the tentacles on the head and the limbs on the body were still twitching unconsciously.

The scene was so hot as soon as he came up, he was killed in one hit, without any hesitation, Rowan saw his blood boil and shouted 666.

The death of a fellow clan also angered the black ants. Without any hesitation, dozens of ants swarmed up.

The battle between the two sides quickly became intensified.

Although there are many black ants, they have small arms, calves, small waists, and only the pair of sharp teeth around their mouths can handle them. But in the face of the black beetle with heavy armor, the damage it can cause is minimal.

On the other hand, the black beetle looks like an invincible **** of war! A pair of giant jaws are invincible. As long as they are caught, there is no such thing as being injured and not dying. It is a good thing to be able to leave a whole corpse.

Fortunately, although its giant jaw is exaggerated in size, it has no disadvantages, but it also has some flaws. Just like two 7s close together, it can only touch at the tip, causing horrific damage.

And the slender body of black ants and flexible walking position, it is not easy for black beetles to accurately clamp them.

Therefore, although the black beetle shot ten dead, the two sides can still maintain the situation of you coming and going.

However, there are always some unlucky ghosts who are caught by the black beetle, and some of their body parts are scattered around the battle scene.

Although ants still have an absolute numerical advantage, the number of ants is slowly decreasing. If it goes on like this, if there is no reinforcement, they will be killed by the black beetles sooner or later.

The ants finally discovered the problem and changed their combat strategy.

The ants that originally crawled on the black beetle's carapace no longer continued to gnaw on the solid carapace, but instead attacked the black beetle's eyes and tentacles. These two parts are destroyed, and it becomes deaf and blind.

And the ants on the ground attacked the claws of the black beetle.

Although the black beetle's thick half-armor, because of its low site, can protect most of the arthropods. However, the hooks at the front of the arthropods stretched out, and at this time, they became the main target of the ants.

The effect of the tactical change was immediately highlighted, and the black beetle's original attack routine of wide opening and closing became shrinking and avoiding the mouse. Most of the energy has also changed from finding the target to attack, to getting rid of the ants on the back and avoiding the sneak attacks at the feet.

Seeing it from a distance, Rowan cursed in his heart, these guys don't talk about martial arts, they specialize in rude tricks.
