I Am the Swarm

So how do you enrich your gene pool?

The method is really too simple, just eat it if you like the ability of any creature!

The premise is to be able to beat the opponent.

"It's not simple at all, okay?" Rowan complained.

Right now, though, there was one creature he could beat.

Rowan began to think about what he needed in White Worm.

A round, white and tender body? Slow-moving, short, clumsy arthropods? And the only thing that caught my eye before was the pair of big teeth. Unfortunately, Luo Wen has already grown them.

Thinking about it this way, the only white worms he can fight are worthless to him? A little frustrated.

But after another thought, there is still some value. The energy that meat can provide to the body far exceeds the juice of the rhizome.

Luo Wen has long wanted to taste the taste of white worms, whether it tastes like chicken, crunchy or not. It's a pity that the mouthparts and claws were not strong before, and there was nothing to do with the tough skin of the white worm.

Now, with a pair of sharp teeth, it's finally time to give it a try.

Ife Ash's body subtly affected his mind.

When he was a human, it was absolutely impossible for him to eat those disgusting white worms, let alone eat them raw. But now, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but felt that the white worm was tender and attractive.

Looking at the white worm in front of him, Luo Wen didn't do anything. This is an old friend, a tool worm he made for a long time when he was recuperating.

After hesitating for a while, in the end, Luo Wen chose to let it go. He is really a kind bug. With a sigh, he silently gave himself a thumbs up.

After digging a little distance to the side, another white worm was found immediately. This one hasn't worked for him before, it's not a familiar one, so don't hesitate to order it!

The sharp teeth achieved good results in the first battle, and the tough skin that made Luo Wen helpless before was easily bitten open.

Regardless of the white worm's struggle and rolling, the lick-suction mouthparts penetrated into its body.

Then, Rowan discovered a new problem. This mouthpart still needs to continue to evolve, and eating meat is still not good.

This mouthpiece sucks and licks when eating, and it is efficient when eating soft things, but it is a little weak when facing slightly tough foods, such as meat.

The white worm gradually stopped struggling, and its body gradually shriveled.

Withdrawing his mouthpiece, he rubbed his middle foot against his belly, then moved to the side of a tree root, bit open a hole and sucked some juice, and finally he was full.

Overall, the taste was not bad, and Luo Wen nodded in satisfaction. From now on, we can also be regarded as carnivorous insects.

A piece of white worm skin was left in place, and Rowan dug all the way back to the home he built. It hasn't changed since he left, and there don't seem to be any unexpected visitors.

Lying in the room, Rowan began to think after dinner.

The gene pool must be enriched, but there is no rush. During this round of evolution, he learned some things about himself, in addition to the gene pool, there is also information about lifespan.

After all, Ife Ash is an extraordinary species in a world, its larvae have a lifespan of at least a hundred years, and as they grow, their lifespan will continue to increase.

No one knows exactly how long it can live. After all, growth must be accompanied by multiple evolutions. Even the bug's mother doesn't know what it will look like at maturity.

In the foreign continent, all strange-looking creatures with unknown origins are labeled as Ife Ash, and only God knows which ones are real and which ones are fake.

Of course, that's not what Rowan got in the information. The bugs who left the information don't have any concept of time, they only know that they have lived for a long, long time.

Its unit of measurement is also very strange, the replacement of the three kingdoms.

Luo Wen thought about it for a long time. It is impossible for a kingdom to be completed in a year or a half from its establishment to its demise. According to the memory of his previous life, three kingdoms, good guy, how many years does that have to be? He didn't study history well, so he couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, there was an explanation for the issue of lifespan, and his mood relaxed a lot. After all, in his previous cognition, bugs were all short-lived species.

As for how the worms who left this information killed him, he recalled it several times but found no relevant information.

It doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, Luo Wen doesn't care about it, just pure curiosity.

There is no sense of urgency for time, and the food reserves are quite abundant.

The roots of that big tree stretched and covered an unknown area, and it was covered with that kind of white insects. Given Rowan's current size, it would be impossible to eat them all in a short while.

And the white worms are obviously the larvae of some kind of bug. What do their adults look like? How often do you breed? How long does it take for newborn eggs to hatch? How long does it take to grow to the size of a white worm?

Rowan felt that he had a long-term observation target. Maybe the white worm was a renewable resource with a fairly fast recovery speed. In that way, my long-term meal ticket problem will be solved.

As for those ants, Luo Wen felt that he was not a vengeful person, but who made him a bug now. So this hatred must be avenged, but he is not in a hurry. He decided to hang on and let it develop for a while.

Even if no new abilities are evolved during this period, the existing gene fragments can continue to be strengthened, and he can become stronger, with thicker external armor, stronger defense, and stronger resistance.

Those guys were the second creatures he had seen in this strange place, and they were also excellent providers of genetic material.

Their catapults, hook-like fangs, and magical attacks that spew dung from their tails! After he becomes stronger, all these are his.

However, he got angry when he mentioned the last one. Originally, everyone was fighting hand-to-hand, but suddenly the whole ranged attack came out, and it was still such a disgusting attack method. Is this what people do? Well, it's true that no one did it.

However, if there were no such long-range sneak attacks, Luo Wen paid himself that he would not have escaped so embarrassingly, and might have to kill a few back.

In ego YY, consciousness gradually sinks into darkness.

A strange sound and intense vibrations awakened Luo Wen who was sleeping, and he quickly got up.

The fluff all over his body stood on end, weird sounds kept coming, and something happened to the surface.

The bug doesn't know if he has curiosity, but after all, Rowan is a human soul, he is curious, and he is quite heavy.

Climbing back and forth a few times, unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, he finally decided to go up and take a look to see what happened.

On the way, Rowan diverged his thoughts, imagining whether two super giant beasts were fighting, and then just dropped a few drops of blood on his head, and since then he has reached the peak of insect life.

Hehe, it was written like this in the book, the more he thought about it, the happier he was, and the digging became a little faster.

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die.

When Rowan approached the surface, he had already identified that the strange sound was just the sound of howling wind, and the vibration of the ground was just the sound of wind and sand hitting the ground.

He was a little bit discouraged, the sandstorm should be nothing to see, and he just planned to return the same way.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a huge danger covering him, and the hairs on his body stood up in shock.

But before he could react, a strong force lifted him into the air along with the sand beside him.
