I Am the Swarm

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

Luo Wen didn't feel too much, after all, it was already far away from the original place, 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 are still two light sources hanging high in the sky. Although Luo Wen still can't see clearly, he can vaguely feel the position of the light sources and their colors. One white is slightly yellowish, the other is slightly reddish, and the yellow-white one is several circles larger than the red-white one.

The cold wind blew, and the surroundings disappeared, without any insects or other sounds. This situation seems a bit eerie.

The six legs stepped on the frost, making slight sounds and vibrations, and Luo Wen explored carefully.

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

Not even relatives and friends of the giant earthworm came across it without any trouble. Therefore, although the search was very slow, it took a while to travel a long distance.

Previously, his position had been directly above the underground river, so that food and water sources could be collected faster.

But as the river bed rose, in order to ensure his strategic depth underground, Rowan had already deviated slightly from the route of the underground river bed.

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

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

Feeling that the energy reserve in his body had almost dropped to half, 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 when the remaining is close to half, and then reserve more than half of its physical strength to deal with possible emergencies.

Supplemented with some food from the roots of the bushes, he crawled deep underground to rest.

After a few days of slow advancement, the number of plants on the surface has gradually increased, and the types have also enriched a lot.

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

A giant black worm, ten times bigger than him, about the size of a human palm. A pair of 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 like the chassis is very low, and a pair of similarly small tentacles protrude from both sides of the big jaw.

At this time, the black beetle was surrounded by dozens of similarly black ant-like insects. They are nothing special, they have a very ordinary appearance. They neither have the exaggerated hooks and big teeth of the khaki-colored ants that I saw last time, nor do they use dung-spraying attacks. What kind of talents they have, they have to show themselves to know.

At this time, the two sides are at war, and the battle is imminent.

The black beetle walked leisurely and slowly, seeming to disdain the little people surrounding it.

But the black ants are besieging but not attacking, and seem to continue to wait for helpers. To put it bluntly, this black ant is a bit smaller than Rowan, and I don't know why I can't think of challenging such a giant.

Luo Wen's advantage was also reflected at this time. Although his two big eyes are myopic in the eyes of humans, they can definitely be regarded as clairvoyance in insects.

He fought outside the 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 bugs, the eyes are not very good, and the other senses are generally better.

He couldn't afford to offend either of the two parties in front of him. Last time he watched the excitement, he paid a heavy price. Not only did he lose his self-built nest, but he also lost his lungs and wandered away for so long.

Although he has always vowed to watch the excitement again, he is a dog, but when there is something exciting to watch, he still can't control himself. If you change into a dog, you can become a dog. Dogs are much more powerful than this bug the size of a fingernail.

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

The gradually shrinking encirclement of the ants still aroused the dissatisfaction of the black beetle. It seemed a little irritable, and it had lived up to its leisurely attitude. Its two big jaws kept making attacks.

The tense atmosphere finally reached a critical point, and the black beetle couldn't bear it anymore. With one dash forward, a pair of big jaws clamped a black ant. It seemed that without much effort, the black ant was separated from its body and head.

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

As soon as it came up, the scene was so hot, killing with one blow, without delay, Luo Wen's blood was boiling with excitement, and he yelled 666.

A member of the same race died in battle, which also angered the black ants. Without any further hesitation, dozens of ants rushed forward.

The battle between the two sides quickly became fierce.

Although there are a large number of black ants, they have small arms, legs, and waist, and only those sharp teeth around their mouths can handle them. But in the face of a black beetle with a full body of heavy armor, it can cause very little damage.

On the other hand, the black beetle looks like an invincible god of war! A pair of giant jaws are invincible, as long as they are caught, there is no such thing as injury and death, and it is a good thing to leave a whole body.

Fortunately, although its giant jaw is exaggerated and omnipotent, it also has some flaws. Just like two 7s close together, it can only touch together at the tip, causing terrifying damage.

With the slender body and flexible movement of the black ants, it is not easy for the black beetles to pinch them accurately.

Therefore, even though the black beetle shot ten deaths and none survived, the two sides can still maintain the situation of you coming and going.

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

Although ants still have an absolute numerical advantage, their numbers are slowly decreasing. If things go on like this, if there is no reinforcements, they will be killed by the black beetles sooner or later.

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

The ants that had crawled onto the carapace of the black beetle no longer continued to bite the solid carapace, but instead attacked the eyes and tentacles of the black beetle. When these two parts are destroyed, it becomes deaf and blind.

The ants on the ground attack the claws of the black beetle.

Although the black beetle's thick half body armor, because of its low ground, can protect most of the joints. But the claws at the front of the limbs were stretched out. At this time, they became the main targets of the ants.

The effect of the tactical change was immediately apparent, and the black beetle's original attack routine became timid and cautious. Most of the energy has also changed from finding the target and attacking to throwing off the ants on the back and avoiding the sneak attack at the feet.

Luo Wen watched from a distance and cursed in his heart, these guys don't talk about martial arts, they just use some dirty tricks.

The early stage of this article is mainly realistic. Many insects that appear on the scene have prototypes in reality. The prototype of the black beetle is the stag beetle.
