I Am the Swarm

Facing the siege of hundreds of red ants, Luo Wen killed the first few in an instant. But the red ants did not have the slightest fear, and were not intimidated by the death of their companions. Instead, Rowan attacked the space of their companions and quickly approached him.

The eight legs quickly lifted up and stabbed down, piercing through the red ants one by one, then flicked their corpses away, and stabbed down again...

But there were too many red ants surrounding him, and Luo Wen only killed a small part, and the rest had already crawled towards him quickly along his footsteps.

With the size of the red ant and its weapons and equipment, it is basically impossible to break through Rowan's armor. Unfortunately, he has two huge weaknesses on his head, so he can't let these red ants run wild on his back.

Just as he was about to move, suddenly there was a pain in one of his gait joints, and Rowan was startled.

This was the first time he felt pain since he became a worm. He didn't even feel the slightest pain in the big scene of breaking his intestines before.

But now, he actually felt the pain, and it was getting worse and worse, as if his muscles had been melted, so painful that he couldn't help hissing.

When did this TM grow out the pain-sensing nerve? This severe pain seriously affected his combat power. Is this degeneration or evolution? If it is evolution, he would rather not have this kind of evolution.

It's a pity that there is no time for him to complain now. He lifted the leg and saw a red ant hanging on the painful part. It plunges the stinger on its tail into the weak spot in the armor of the joint, which is where the pain comes from.

Simply being pricked will definitely not be so painful, I didn't expect these little guys to be so ignorant of martial arts, they even poisoned them!

He stretched out the other leg, the sticky hairs on the front part opened, grabbed the red ant, pulled it off the leg, and brought it to his mouth.

Luo Wen chewed his mouth hard and bit it to pieces.

But taking advantage of this gap, more red ants crawled onto his body, seeing them staring at the weak points where the armor was connected, they wanted to show him a collective talent show.

Luo Wen was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood on end. Before he could speak, he kicked his feet quickly, causing his body to roll on the ground.

Fortunately, there are seven joints in his gait, even if one or two of them are paralyzed, it will not have much impact. Moreover, his armor was smooth, with no clinging points, and the red ants' feet didn't have spider-like fluff. During his crazy rolling, they were thrown off his back one by one.

After Luo Wen stopped, there were only three red ants left on his body, still hanging tenaciously on the joints of his legs and feet, without being thrown away.

But their fate was even worse, being stuck, dragged away, and killed by the sticky feet one by one!

After being stimulated by pain, Luo Wen's mind also came to his senses. This is not a game, and he is not a master who can mow grass unparalleled.

He was no longer interested in fighting, and his eight long legs moved quickly, running and jumping to the entrance of the sub-base.

With this strength, the battle will definitely not be won, so let's retreat quickly.

The pheromones scattered, and the surrounding bugs received instructions one after another. Some of them climbed onto Rowan's back to help him protect his eyes, and some returned to the cave.

Luo Wen changed his strategy, instead of aiming at killing, the two front legs waved back and forth, sweeping away the rushing red ants one after another.

In this way, he himself defended most of the directions, and the remaining places were guarded by only a few soldier ants and worker ants.

After a while, the worker ants who got into the hole climbed out holding the queen.

Luo Wen stretched out his legs and stuck the queen ant on his back, and the remaining soldier ants and worker ants also climbed up his back one after another.

The bugs tangled together and built a little tower on his back.

As the bugs withdrew from the line of defense one after another, the red ants gradually approached them.

Seeing that there were still dozens of bugs that hadn't climbed onto his back, he couldn't care less about everything, so he wished for luck.

After giving them the order to retreat, Rowan strode forward with his long legs and rushed out of the battlefield, spreading various pheromone confusion trails along the way.

Some red ants chased along the trail for a while, confused by the messy pheromones, and had to turn back.

Luo Wen is not a person who holds grudges, but it is not his style to run away like a bereaved dog after being beaten, unless they have the strength of the Yellow Army.

The ants on the back were put down, and one queen, three soldier ants survived, and the rest were all worker ants.

Order three of the soldier ants and ten worker ants to temporarily retreat to the rear with the queen, and the rest of the worker ants are all to find the army of the North Road, let them retreat first, and postpone the advance, so as not to fight with the red ants without his command. The Legion met head-on.

He still doesn't know the reality of the red ants. As the saying goes, he knows the enemy and knows himself. He must first understand their situation before deciding how to deal with them next.

Now, we can only avoid it strategically.

The army of the North Road should be nearby, but they lack communication measures and cannot contact in time, so they can only choose to cast a wide net and send more worker ants out to search.

After the army returns, it will be dispersed to various sub-bases immediately.

If the army can't keep advancing, it will feed the war by preying on insects and exterminating the ant nests. But if they are collectively stationed in a certain place, then their supplies will become a problem.

Right now, the insect nests don't have an effective means of supply transportation, so they must be spread out and each branch base can support them. At the same time, they can also enhance the defense of each base.

After everything was arranged, Rowan checked his injuries. The joint that was damaged by the toxin has almost recovered with the help of super recovery power.

The toxins of those red ants are still very powerful, somewhat similar to spider venom, they can dissolve body tissues. It's just that their size is too small for Rowan, so the amount of toxin stored in a single one can't cause too much damage to Rowan.

But Rowan didn't want to experience the severe pain again, and if there were too many of them, they could still threaten Rowan's life.

During the battle just now, Rowan swallowed a lot of muscle tissue while biting the red ants, so he should have obtained the corresponding gene fragments.

Perhaps the next batch of eggs will hatch with stingers.

The injury was not a big problem, so Luo Wen hurriedly returned to the sub-base just now.

He wanted to track and check the purpose of these red ants attacking his base, and where they came from.

And what the hell is going on with those black ants? How did it get mixed up with those red ants?

He needs to know the answers to these questions.
