I Am the Swarm

Luo Wen finally knew why the invisible worm was surrounded by a group and remained motionless.

Just like he is now, surrounded by flying insects, he is still wondering if they have found him, should they run or continue to move?

It didn't bother him for too long, the flying insects launched an attack.

Dozens of flying insects swooped towards him. When approaching him, the wings spread out, and the posture changed instantly, from the head forward to the buttocks forward, exposing the tail stinger.

They were too fast. Although Rowan had a reaction, he still couldn't completely escape the wave of attacks.

Fortunately, his exoskeleton armor is not vegetarian, the small stinger is on the carapace, not even a scratch is left.

Luo Wen was not complacent, but he had seen countless times how the little red ants dealt with super giants, and this kind of flying insects looked like big ants with wings, who knew if they would use similar tactics.

With a step and a jump, he jumped down from the tree and ran quickly in a random direction. He didn't choose to fly, because his flying speed was far inferior to flying insects with professional fuselages.

Moreover, to fly, he must open the elytra, that is, the back armor, which will expose his weakly protected abdomen, which is tantamount to abolishing his martial arts.

The gait after multiple evolutionary adjustments not only has good running ability, but also has strong jumping ability and grasping ability. It is like parkour in various obstacles, flowing and flowing, and full of appreciation.

But in the eyes of flying insects who fly in a straight line and have the advantage of high-altitude vision, it seems a bit gimmicky.

The strange thing is that Rowan has never lifted the optical invisibility, but the flying insects seem to have installed GPS positioning on him, and they can always find and attack him accurately.

Luo Wen raised the claws upwards and backwards to protect his eyes and at the same time prevent his body from leaning forward too much, which would affect his speed.

It's a pity that this increased speed is dispensable in the eyes of Fei Chong, and the attacks are still continuous. Although most of them were blocked by the armor, some flying insects still grabbed the gaps in his armor and climbed onto his body.

Luo Wen didn't dare to let them stay on him for too long. Although he is also a poisoner, he likes tough opponents and doesn't like opponents who play poison.

While the legs are running, the defense on the back must be strengthened, and the anti-joints will drive away the flying insects on the back, which greatly affects his running speed. In the past, Luo Wen always felt that he had a total of ten jointed limbs, including two claw limbs, two swimming legs, and six ordinary walking legs, which were enough for most situations.

But what he is facing now is that small part of the situation. At this time, he can't wait to have six more legs to defend against attacks from the air.

If it goes on like this, it will be a slow death. If it is just a simple long-distance running competition, relying on the tail fat reserves in his body, he will definitely exhaust the guys behind.

But now it is in the primeval forest where the situation is unknown, and there are many fishermen hidden in the dark waiting for the opportunity. He doesn't dare to drag the flying insects for a long-distance run here, so he has to find a way.

But before that, the first thing to confirm is how they position themselves.

Optical invisibility has no effect, and Rowan released deceptive pheromones, but it has no effect. He wasn't surprised, after all, this method of hunting the enemy had to be very close, so he just tried it.

Suddenly, he found that there were many light yellow granular powders on the carapace, and these powders came from the hind feet and abdomen of flying insects. There's a lot of fluff in there, and it's got this powder, it seems like some pollen?

Could it be that they locate him by these pollen? Luo Wen swept his eyes, and sure enough, he found some traces of powder at the tip of the foot that first attacked the flying insects.

Although Luo Wen didn't know what method the flying insects used to locate the pollen, after all, there were a lot of pollen from the surrounding flowers along the way, but they never lost it. But I think it is a special talent.

After finding out the reason, Luo Wen immediately guessed that it was the smell. The elytra of his running body suddenly opened, his abdomen turned up, and there was a burst of "Gatling" shots.

After shooting, the elytra closed immediately.

In the past, when everyone was fighting on the ground, "Gatling" was shooting at close range, and the effect was not bad. When it can be converted into air-to-ground three-dimensional combat, its range disadvantage is highlighted.

The flying insects following behind also listened to the sound and watched the excitement. But Rowan didn't intend to kill them directly with this, a stench accompanied by white smoke filled the air.

The flying insects were indeed affected, and they became dizzy and couldn't find their way. But before Luo Wen was satisfied, the flying insects chased after him after raising the altitude a bit.

"Fuck..." Luo Wen cursed secretly, the smell could only cover a small area, and it didn't have any effect at all when running fast. Unless he stays in that area and doesn't come out.

But this can't solve the fundamental problem. If the flying insect has a certain amount of patience, he will become a turtle in the urn instead. The risk is too great, this scheme should not be adopted.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that he had seen similar scenes in cartoons before. In most cases, jumping into the water solves this problem.

And there was a small river not far away, and Rowan could already hear the sound of the water flowing.

Although I don't know if the plot of the cartoon is reliable, but I don't care so much at this time.

As for the turbidity of the river, there is an unknown danger. But in this situation, it seems that it is not difficult to choose between known dangers and unknown dangers.

Turning around, Rowan buried his head and ran wildly. A few "cannonballs" will be sprayed every time they run a certain distance. Although this can only temporarily slow down the chasing speed of the flying insects, it is better than them lying on themselves. Moreover, this will allow him to save on defense and run with all his strength, at a faster speed.

A few minutes later, when Rowan's "ammunition" was about to run out, he finally came to the river.

Without hesitation, he jumped directly into the water. The river water made a "plop", rippled a few times, and soon returned to normal.

Some of the knowledge in the cartoon is still very useful, and the flying insects really can't continue to track, and they are reluctant to hang around on the water.

But don't forget, Rowan is a four-dwelling unit.

Inwardly, he secretly told those guys to wait. The swimmers who hadn't played a role just now finally had a place to play. Luo Wen had to quietly go down the river along the river bank.

Suddenly, some unknown objects in the water rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed. Although his vision is extremely poor now, his hearing has greatly improved now.

Although the echolocation system is obtained from bats, the ear holes that grow out are densely covered with fluff, which can play a certain role in waterproofing, so that it can still maintain a certain effect underwater.

Although he can't open his mouth to emit ultrasonic waves underwater, he can still detect those abnormal fluctuations through the feedback of the surrounding water flow.

After all, the sound of these rapidly disturbing water flow is too obvious.
