I Am the Swarm

The "corn on the cob" architectural structure is very suitable for Rowan's way of calling the door.

He raised his chelicera and poked it hard.

Unexpectedly, the inside turned out to be hollow, and Luo Wen poked a big hole out with too much force.

The soil on the cave wall fell down in a rustle, and Luo Wen was also a little dumbfounded.

In order to avoid unnecessary disputes with his new "neighbors", he decided to withdraw first.

The eight long legs swung quickly, although one pair of them was no longer as powerful on land because of a slight change in structure. But in fact, Rowan's speed was not affected at all, and he ran 50 meters away in a hurry.

Everything just now is speculation. What is hidden in the "corn on the cob" is unknown for the time being, so it's better to be cautious.

The black hole on the mysterious building is like the gaze of the abyss, dark and full of mystery. Time passed bit by bit, and suddenly, a yellow cloud gushed out of it.

Looking closely, this yellow cloud is actually composed of countless insects. They are about two or three centimeters long, and their heads are amber in color, but the color of their chest and abdomen has turned pale, showing a light yellow color.

The pair of jaw teeth in front of the head, although overall, looks like ants, but it always feels weird.

Luo Wen thought for a moment, and suddenly understood that the chest and abdomen of these bugs were not clearly segmented, but connected as one. But for ants, Luo Wen has also seen many species, no matter what talent they have or what skin color they have, but in general their body structure is similar, with the head, chest, and abdomen clearly distinguished.

More and more yellow clouds poured out. It seemed that a big hole was inexplicably opened in the house, which made them very angry.

In just a moment of effort, the number of yellow worms crawling out of the hole exceeded 200,000.

Looking at this familiar posture, coupled with their homely attributes, Rowan guessed that these guys must have been messing with something underground.

It's either raising something or planting something.

Otherwise, it is impossible to drill so many worms in one nest.

For this kind of thing, Luo Wen no longer finds it unusual. After all, if you want to occupy a territory here, you have to have some unique skills in your hands.

The tentacles swayed, and hundreds of transport bugs behind him carried tens of thousands of worker ants over Rowan, running towards the opposite "corn on the cob".

Raise your butt, pour a formic acid solution topping, and give some greeting gifts to the "neighbors" first. They all wiped out the 500,000 troops of the Zerg Swarm, so it's not too much for the Zerg Swarm to return some gifts now.

But the lack of effect of this wave of long-range artillery coverage surprised Rowan. It wasn't that the damage caused was too much, but that it was negligible. Looking at their carapaces with a gradual change from dark yellow to light yellow, Luo Wen thought for a while. Could it be that the armor of this color has strong acid resistance?

But these guys actually have acid-resistant armor, which directly abolished the only long-range attack method of the swarm. Moreover, in previous battles, the swarm had reduced their own battle damage by relying on this long-range support firepower.

It seems that this time it is going to be a direct head-to-head fight.

The tentacles swayed, and the swarm temporarily retreated.

A week later, because long-range strikes were ineffective and the mix of arms needed to be readjusted, it took several days to mobilize troops.

As a show of respect, Rowan mobilized fifteen million troops.

This is a reference to the situation of the big-headed ants back then, when they planted underground and raised an army of seven to eight million. This new bug is also doing things underground, and the number is estimated to be several million at least, so Luo Wen first mobilized twice as many troops as them to make a point, and the follow-up support troops are still being mobilized.

Originally, he wanted to do some tactics, but who knew that all the spies he sent were wiped out. Later, Rowan discovered that while these bugs communicated with pheromones, they also used some sounds made by tapping the ground with their heads or limbs to communicate.

This is equivalent to people speaking and sign language at the same time. The spy bug can only know one of them, and the other is completely blind, so the flaw is exposed and the head is given away.

This made Rowan a little annoyed, so he simply didn't play complicated games with them, and directly crushed them with troops. It took so many days to mobilize the troops, which is also related to this.

And in order to be tough this time, the composition of the army of the swarm army has undergone a huge change. The soldier ants accounted for more than 80%, but the worker ants only brought a small amount to clean the battlefield.

The army pressed the border and directly surrounded the "corn on the cob".

Luo Wen stepped forward, raised the double claws, quickly poked seven or eight big holes on top, up, down, left, and right, and then quickly retreated to the rear of the troops.

After a while, a large group of "yellow clouds" poured out from several hollows.

Although Luo Wen wants to face them head-on, he won't wait for them to crawl out and set up a position. The tentacles swayed, and the army pressed forward, taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing, to attack it first.

The opponent lacks large combat units. Although these big guys are not very good at single-handedly fighting small units, if they are supported by small combat units to help them contain the enemy, their beheading speed is still very fast.

In addition, the number of enemies is not dominant, and many of them seem to be worker ants. Facing the swarm troops that are basically all soldier ants, they are at a disadvantage for a while, and are gradually pushed back to the hole.

Door blocking tactics, the efficiency of killing the enemy is too slow, and it can't give full play to the number advantage of the swarm. So, under Luo Wen's command, the troops retreated and made room for the opponent to drill out again.

After several rounds of tugging, Huang Chong'er suffered heavy losses.

However, at this moment, some worms with darker armor and larger size crawled out of the hole. These bugs don't look like ants, but more like some kind of beetle.

They pouted their buttocks one by one, posing in a pose that Rowan was very familiar with.

Luo Wen concentrated his attention, the other party finally had a talent show, and he didn't want to miss this show.

Accompanied by the sound of "puff, puff, puff", puffs of thick smoke rose up, like farting. Their buttocks are like "shotguns", ejecting countless unknown liquids.

These liquids are like scattered "projectiles", which are shot towards the battlefield at a very high speed.

Touching these "projectile" swarms of soldiers and ants, scorched black marks of burns and corrosion appeared on the carapace, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. If you are unlucky, you may even die instantly.

Luo Wen's eyes lit up, the burn marks on the previous battlefield were made by these bugs. Before, he thought that the other party's talent was playing with fire, but he didn't expect it to be playing with chemical weapons.

And with the firing of ammunition, there is a foul smell on the battlefield. If this is a fight with a dog, this characteristic alone can win the battle.

This is too disrespectful of martial arts.

Although there are slight flaws, Rowan likes it very much, and the swarm will soon add a new long-range strike method. You must know that the yellow ants also have acid-resistant armor.

Rowan will have a battle with them sooner or later, and it is always good to reserve more means.
