I Am the Swarm

Now every worm in the worm nest has a gene fragment that can eat soil. With this talent, it's not like there are solid food everywhere, and you can eat as much solid food as you want.

Ideas are quickly translated into action.

Luo Wen first found 500 worker ants to do the experiment, and ordered them to eat soil once a day, and then put the bio-fertilizer next to the designated plants.

The effect of eating the soil is very remarkable, the same number of worker ants, the biological fertilizer produced by eating the soil will increase several times.

During this time, he also ordered the worker ants to stop helping the aphids migrate. Whether it can help plants grow better still needs to continue to experiment, which will take a certain amount of time. So he plans to take a two-pronged approach, researching bio-fertilizers while curbing the expansion of aphids.

The experiment of bio-fertilizer was very successful. It may be in line with some natural laws. The bio-fertilizer produced by worker ants eating soil is much better than the bio-fertilizer produced by eating water droplets before.

Therefore, the order that only 500 worker ants need to eat soil every day quickly spread to all insects except Luo Wen and the spy insects who ate and drank in the ant nest incubation room.

More than 20,000 worms in the worm nest produce a considerable amount of bio-fertilizer every day. Rowan hatched some worker ants, which are responsible for transporting the bio-fertilizer to the feet of the vegetation in the territory.

Although the plants were fertilized, previous orders to curb aphid populations were still in place.

Now the number of aphids has been able to supply the needs of the nest, and there is still some surplus every day, so there is no need to increase their feeding amount at present.

The vegetation crisis was resolved, and life became stable again. The benefits of the bugs' lack of self-awareness came out, and they worked tirelessly every day without complaint.

Now Rowan likes to climb to the trunk of the tallest tree in this territory every day, watching the bugs below busy in an orderly manner.

He doesn't like the dark and humid environment underground, as well as the small and claustrophobic space. He was forced to stay underground to protect himself before.

Now that he has the ability, he can be regarded as an overlord. Although the territory is not large, there is no need to hide in the ground all the time.

Suddenly, a little commotion on the nearby tree trunk caught Rowan's attention.

A few worker ants seemed to have discovered something during their march. As the overlord here, the worker ants naturally stepped forward to check.

I don't know what to send, the ants spread the assembly pheromone, and the passing worker ants stopped when they came into contact with this message.

The number of worker ants is increasing, and they surround that place, as if they are about to fight.

But what surprised Rowan was that the vegetation was not too far away from him.

He could clearly see the worker ants, but he didn't realize what they were surrounding. In Rowan's field of vision, it was just an ordinary piece of bark.

In this day-to-day boring life, I finally came across something novel, which instantly attracted Rowan's curiosity.

Stretching his legs, he jumped off the tree trunk in a leap of faith, landed on the grass below, and fell on his back with his belly upward.

However, his current gait is very flexible, with a full seven knots, and he easily flipped his gait to prop himself up.

After getting up, he quickly climbed to the incident point.

As he gradually approached the encirclement of worker ants, Luo Wen also discovered some differences.

Although the piece of bark is almost indistinguishable from the side, but under the high-resolution eyes, it can still barely see the outline of a bug on the bark.

Is it just a fake bug?

Rowan lost interest a little bit. In the woods under the cliff, there were also camouflage bugs and black beetles that had been seen in the desert bushes.

They don't seem to be limited by the yellow ants, and they are also spreading here, and there are a lot of them.

However, the camouflage worm's combat power is low. If its sneak attack ability is at the king level, then its head-to-head combat ability is only at the bronze level.

And its camouflage ability is of no use to worker ants, which use pheromones to identify the enemy and the blind arms. After being discovered, just a few worker ants can arrange it clearly.

As for the black beetle, it can only be said that if it does not run away and waits for the worker ants to call for reinforcements, then the only way to wait for it is the recycled protein.

The individual combat ability of the worker ants is not strong, but the group fighting ability is very strong, and they will call for help, and they have become a tyrant in this area.

Even at the beginning, it was a headache for Luo Wen, and the grasshoppers he couldn't catch could kill several of them every day.

Don't know how they do it either.

Rowan has already tasted the taste of grasshoppers, but its only strong hind limb gene that makes Rowan look good, only strengthened his leg muscles, and did not reach the level of grasshoppers.

Suddenly, Luo Wen, who was lost in memory, came back to his senses, and he found something different. The "pretend bug" in front of him seemed to be a little different.

The bark it used for camouflage didn't seem to be added later, but the color patterns on its body, which looked exactly like the bark.

This is a bug that has never been seen before.

Luo Wen became interested again. New species of bugs meant new gene fragments. Regardless of whether they could be used or not, they had to be collected first.

He quickened his pace, a few steps to the outside of the encirclement, the tentacles swayed, and the worker ants made way for a path.

This new bug is smaller than the camouflage bug, and it is also a relatively slender body. Unlike the camouflage bug, it has relatively thick shoulder armor and carapace.

The color of its whole body is exactly the same as the surrounding environment, blending into it, even the pattern on the carapace is almost the same as the texture of the bark.

The bug ignored Rowan's approach and remained motionless.

Rowan cautiously stretched out his digging foot and touched it. Rowan's body size is many times larger than that of a bug, and a single digging leg is no different from this bug.

To the touch of the excavating foot, the insects did not respond as if they were real tree bark.

With a little more force, he pushed the worm. Although the body of the worm was shaken by the push, he still pretended to be dead. However, Rowan could see the small claws under its body clasping the bark hard.

Luo Wen wanted to laugh a little. Could it be that this worm thought that it could really be tricked by pretending that the bark didn't move?

As if his IQ had been humiliated, Luo Wen dug his head with all his strength, and hit his head with a Roche martial arts kick.

Although the bug was slender and thin, it was more resistant to beatings than expected. After being hit by Rowan, it didn't hurt much.

However, at this time it also seemed to understand that it was really exposed, and no longer pretended to be bark. The short limbs loosened the bark, kicked hard, and fell away from the trunk, falling towards the ground.

A miraculous thing happened. After the bug fell to the ground, the color of its body changed, and it quickly became the same color as the surrounding grass blades.

Its figure reintegrated into the surrounding environment and disappeared.
