I Am the Swarm

Chapter 69: new claws

The specific eating process will not be described in detail.

After the meal, Rowan found a bigger rock crevice on the spot and lay down to rest. At the same time, he ordered a large army to be stationed on the spot around him.

Since it was not long after waking up in the morning, the battle ended too quickly, and Rowan couldn't go to sleep for a while, so he could only recall the battle just now.

Although the scorpions have a powerful one-on-one ability, it seems that they have fought against tens of thousands of troops, but in fact, only a hundred or ten giant scorpion ants actually do it. Most of the rest of the bugs held a personal field and watched a performance like Rowan.

This performance once again showed the horror of group warfare. Unless the individual develops to another level, it will never be able to wipe out the numerical advantage.

This made Rowan more determined to take the road of groups.

In his sleep, Rowan felt as if his hands had melted. He was about to wake up when he suddenly thought that he still had hands. With one pair of digging feet and four pairs of walking feet, even if one pair is melted, he can still be reborn from a broken limb.

Thinking of this, I felt a lot more at ease, and I fell asleep again.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, it was still dark, and the two moons hung high, casting a cold light.

Rowan felt that his digging feet were a little different. He looked down and saw a layer of dead skin on his digging feet, as if the skin had exploded. Taking a closer look, I realized that the layer of dead skin was the outer shell of the excavated foot.

This is molting.

When his body absorbs certain genes and his body undergoes great changes, it will become a pupa and mutate, but this is the first time that he has partially molted.

It seems that the scorpion limbs he was looking forward to before are all right, and the scorpion tail should be gone. If he wants to grow a scorpion tail, he will most likely pupate.

She looked back and felt her body. The guess was right, there was no more tail behind her butt.

Then the next step is to test the newly acquired claws.

Rowan gnawed and bitten to tear off the molting on the claw limbs, revealing the soft and sticky limbs inside. Then the claws swelled rapidly after they were freed from the external restraint, and swelled for two full circles, and then the performance began to harden and turn black.

After a while, the claw limbs were covered with armor again, and they were thicker, and the muscles inside were more powerful. With a thought, the two large pincers opened, and a row of sharp saw teeth flashed cold light inside.

He wiggled the pair of claws. Due to the strengthening of the muscles, although they looked much heavier than the digging feet, they were still flexible. In particular, there seems to be a special structure at the joints, similar to the ejection start, which can speed up his shot.

A black light flashed, and the big pliers accurately clamped a stone beside him. The muscles exerted force, and with a "click" sound, the stone was broken into several pieces and fell to the ground.

"Cool!" Rowan secretly praised, this was exactly what he wanted.

Like a bear child who got a new toy, Rowan kept destroying the things around him. Stones, vegetation and even scorpion shells were all badly damaged.

Rowan is so happy, not only because he has an extra powerful weapon, but also because the pair of claw limbs give him the illusion of using his hands when he is a human being.

Although, a "hand" only has two "fingers". But it still made him feel overjoyed.

After being excited for a while, my mood gradually calmed down. After all, we can't always reminisce about the past, we still have to look forward.

Overall, although only a pair of claws were strengthened this time, Rowan's strength has been greatly improved, not only in battle, but also in daily life.

And he also found that when the "pliers" are closed, the claw limbs can still be used as digging feet. Moreover, the claws swelled two laps more than before, and the efficiency of digging soil was slightly improved. In this regard, Rowan was a little speechless.

The incident was resolved, the West Road army continued to set off, and Rowan also returned to his old nest to continue his boring daily life.

Every day, apart from eating, I lie on the tree trunk and watch the scenery. As time goes by, I keep sending away the queens and my eyesight is getting better and better. There is no other change.

And because of his large size, there are not many trees in the territory that can support him, which has limited his viewing area to those few places, which greatly affects his viewing experience.

The boring life rekindled his desire to die. Although two red ant nests were also exterminated during this period, due to the increase in the strength of the swarm, exterminating the red ant nests was already a waste of time, and there was no sense of achievement at all. Naturally, he couldn't suppress the heart that wanted to die.

No way, Rowan could only try his best to find something to do to divert his attention.

He first inspected the territory. With the continuous expansion of the territory, the swarm has now added a thousand more queens, and the total number of queens exceeds 2,500.

Due to the good development of animal husbandry, sufficient food, and not too many wars in the territory, the number of members of each base increased sharply. On average, each base has at least 5,000 troops. If you do this, the swarm is currently at least 12 million troops.

Although most of them are worker ants, the potential for war is still not to be underestimated. With the current background of the swarm, millions of soldiers can be violently attacked.

Just like when he attacked the two red ant nests before, Rowan ordered a million troops in a short period of time. Moreover, he no longer formulates tactics, such as early consumption, encircling points for reinforcements, etc., all are redundant~www.readwn.com~ Directly poke a few holes in the ground, the army will directly enter, even if the battle damage will be much higher It doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as the opponent's nest is captured, these battle-damaged bugs will be recycled into protein.

In a few days, the queens will turn these proteins back into soldiers and send them to the battlefield.

Back then, when he directed the bugs to attack the black ant's nest for the first time, he was also full of passion. Later, the black ant nest became a supply point for the army to travel.

When encountering a black ant's nest, there is no need to report to Rowan, nor Rowan's command. So much so that now he doesn't know how many black ant nests the bugs have harmed.

Now it seems that the red ant's nest is about to be reduced to this.

Is this the loneliness of a master? At this time, Rowan wanted to hum how lonely it is to be invincible, but then he thought that there was still a mountain-like army of khaki ants pressing him, and he lost his mood.

To be a worm, don't be too arrogant.

Rowan, who had nothing to do, finally set his sights on the lakes and rivers in the east.

This is also something that can't be helped. There are insect swarms in the north and west to explore. To the south is a sheer cliff, and in the desert on the cliff there is an army of khaki ants wandering.

Only the east side remains to be developed.

Before he was small, even the shallower shore was deep water for him. And out of fear of the unknown under the deep water, he has been staying away from the river.

The most recent contact with the river was when he first attacked the red ant nest. But that time it was also half a meter away from the river, and he wasn't even there to dig the last barrier to the channel and canal.

Now, he feels that with these long legs, he should be able to do something by the river.
