I Am the Swarm

The formic acid solution in the trench gradually passed away and gradually dried up. And the number of big-headed ants' troops is gradually decreasing. Although they have always had a small number of reinforcements coming to the battlefield through the bridge, the number is only a drop in the bucket.

By the time the big-headed ants crossed the trench again and joined the battlefield, there were less than 100,000 big-headed ants that originally numbered more than 500,000.

When the enemy's reinforcements arrive, the swarm troops retreat while fighting. After the number of big-headed ant troops crossing the trench reaches a certain number, the same routine is repeated.

The two pulls consumed about one million soldiers of the big-headed ants. Unfortunately, the acid reserves of the swarm worker ants did not allow the third pull.

Fortunately, there were no more troops rushing out of the big-headed ants' nests at this time, and these on the ground should be all their property. Rowan roughly estimated that the number is around 4 million.

The swarm lost about 100,000 troops in the two pulls just now, and there are still about 2.9 million left.

2.9 million VS 4 million

Considering that there are still many tiny combat units on the big-headed ants, this battle still has to be fought. However, the next step is really head-to-head.

The battle was very brutal, and Luo Wen even went into battle himself. He was a unique giant on the battlefield, and he could kill many big-headed ants just by smashing his claws to the ground. Of course, this move is an indiscriminate attack, and it is easy to accidentally injure friendly troops.

But at this time, he didn't care too much about the details. He could only take advantage of the length of his hands to avoid friendly forces as much as possible. At the same time, his body is covered with soldier ants, helping him defend his back and other blind spots.

Every time the claws fell down, there would always be a few nimbly crawling up to him along his claws. At this time, the soldier ants on him need to deal with them.

However, the big-headed ants are quite particular about martial arts, and they don't have the bad habit of poisoning. Generally speaking, they pose little threat to Luo Wen, of course only a small amount.

The battle lasted for a day and a night. It was a completely head-to-head war with no technical content.

At the end of the battle, the swarm won with difficulty by a narrow margin.

Luo Wen did a little statistics, and there was only one giant scorpion left in the giant combat unit, and the rest were all killed. The soldier ants and worker ants also died in sevens and eights, and there were not many left.

Of the 10,000 transport bugs, due to their relative flexibility and good eyesight, only more than 3,000 were killed in battle. However, there are more than 2,000 of them with irreparable injuries that have affected their ability to move. The swarm does not keep worthless living things, they are all recycled later.

At the last count, there were less than 100,000 of the 2.9 million bug swarm troops who were still alive and intact. Most of them are functional units, such as slime worms, who have no combat effectiveness, account for 5,000.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, and nearly 7 million bugs were buried in this small area.

With the army gone, Rowan didn't feel very distressed, as long as the battle was won, the winner would get everything.

With these insect remains, with the background of 3,000 queen ants in the swarm, it only takes one growth cycle for the troops to be fully replenished, and even surpassed.

At the same time, the big-headed ants suffered more than seven million battle losses. How did they manage to feed so many troops with one nest. The secret has lost its guardian, waiting for Rowan to lift the veil covering it.

However, Luo Wen did not rush to dig early. Although the big-headed ants were defeated, no one knew what was still in their nests. I have just finished a big battle here, not to mention exhausted, and my troops are seriously insufficient.

Anyway, the big-headed ant nest can't escape there, and now we need to give priority to disposing of the spoils.

Ordering the few remaining troops to guard the spoils, Luo Wenqiang returned to the frontline station with his tired body.

Arranged several teams of signal soldiers to go to all the nearby bases. Let them send half the manpower of their respective bases to support. Then, without resting, Rowan hurried back to the battlefield with more than 200 queen ants and all the other bugs in the station, about 50,000 to 60,000.

The time is short, and there is nothing unusual on the battlefield.

Most of the bugs that stayed in the station were digging ants. At this time, it came in handy. With the only giant scorpion left, they dug a cave on the spot.

The queen ant immediately began to use the insect remains on the ground and began to produce eggs.

In the next two days, with the continuous support from the rear territory, the swarm troops on the battlefield regrouped in numbers of 500,000. And after two days of non-stop work, the bugs also cleaned up the battlefield, and most of the loot was transported back to the territory by the transport bugs. A small portion remains in place for the queens to digest.

At this time, with troops around him, Luo Wen had a lot of confidence.

With an order, the bugs surrounded the big-headed ant nest.

There are too many exits from the big-headed ant nest, and there are many holes on the top whose purpose is unknown. Rowan didn't disperse the troops either, and arranged for the team to find a random entrance to enter, while he waited outside the cave.

The progress was quite smooth. The big-headed ants had really used up all their troops. The swarm basically encountered no resistance in the ant nest. This can be seen from the fact that they did not lose much in number when they came out.

In addition to bringing out the big-headed ant queen to Rowan, the bugs also brought out some special things.

This is a piece of something that seems to be chewed and mixed with saliva, and then dried. In some places, the veins of the leaves can still be seen. This thing is covered with some white, intertwined fibrous substance.

Luo Wen scratched his head a little, not knowing what it was for, but looking at the faint leaf veins, he knew that this was the secret hidden by the big-headed ants.

I can't tell anything just by looking at this. Luo Wen thought for a while, called the digging ants and giant scorpions, and then did it himself, and they assisted.

An hour later, Rowan dug a section of the ant nest, which would allow him to better observe the situation inside the ant nest, hoping to analyze some clues through those special structures and the storage locations of mysterious substances.

The structure of the big-headed ant nest is different from that of other ant species that Luo Wen has seen, and it is more complicated. It generally presents a spiral structure, with passages winding down in circles, and the spiral becomes larger as it goes down, similar to a circular pyramid shape.

On this spiral passage, every short distance, a room will be dug out of the original narrow passage. And in each room, there are leaf-like things and white net-like substances, which are glued together and covered with holes, like honeycombs.

In spiral passage rooms deep underground, white honeycomb structures hide eggs, larvae, and pupae.

"It looks like a plantation." Luo Wen analyzed. He seemed to have heard before that some smart ants can grow food by themselves. Maybe the big-headed ants are such smart ants.

Although, their big heads are full of muscles.

Whether it is true or not, you will know by experimenting.

The queen of the big-headed ant was still alive, and Luo Wen put it back.

He wanted to observe the habits of the big-headed ants.
