I Am the Swarm

In fact, it will take quite a long time to wait until the reinforcements from the ant nest return.

With the current situation of the ant nest, it is simply impossible to last that long.

Sure enough, after a while, something happened on the collapsed soil.

The soil was bulging and bulging, and the sand was lifted one by one, and then a red ant's head popped out cautiously.

Unfortunately, before it could detect any news, a spear-like leg pierced through its body, forking it out of the mud.

There was a circle of transport bugs around the collapsed hole, and it was one of them that made a move just now. It swung its legs and shook off the red ants above it.

The transport worm's feet were covered with soldier ants, and the soldier ant closest to the red ant landed stepped forward to end its suffering.

On the mud and sand at the entrance of the buried hole, red and black ants kept popping up, and transporting the ants around was like playing whack-a-mole, piercing them one by one.

However, this attack method consumes a lot of stamina. Under Luo Wen's guidance, the transport bugs changed their method and used the sticky hairs on their claws to grab the emerging red ants and throw them to their side. After that, naturally some soldier ants made it into military rations.

Although the physical loss has been reduced a lot, there are more and more red and black ants who can't stand up. However, there are also many transport bugs waiting in line to play "whack-a-mole" and "catch dolls". Those who are exhausted just need to give up the position, and naturally a large number of transport bugs will fill the position.

Four or five hours passed without knowing it, and the red ants dug another hole not far away. However, their hole is still within the encirclement of the swarm.

This time, the worker ants brought enough acid, so there was no need to save the acid, so it rained acid at the entrance of the cave, and it was still a heavy rainstorm.

A large group of ants who wanted to break out of the siege had just emerged, and they were baptized by acid. With luck, the tentacles were corroded, and the armor barely escaped with a small pit. Those who were unlucky, were immediately corroded and lost their ability to move, and could only lie down in the acid and wait desperately for it to slowly melt.

After a long time, the entrance of the cave has been blocked by a layer of unknown solution, with wreckage and broken arms floating on it, exuding a pungent smell. There were no ants in it to continue to drill out, and the layer of solution gradually dried up, like a relief, exuding an aura of pain and despair.

Separate five thousand digging ants, first dig some soil to fill the hole, and then pull out some transport insects and soldier ants to guard. However, it may be that the previous relief was also very shocking to the ants, and the entrance of this cave was abandoned by them, and no more ants emerged from it.

It took two days like this, during which time two hunting teams were sent back to help, and some food and grass were added to the army.

The ants in the ant nest broke out several times at the beginning, but they were all wiped out quickly, and they have not moved for a long time.

Luo Wen self-reflected that it was unrealistic to suffocate the ants in the ant nest. They make a hole wherever they want, and even if they quickly fill it up, the short period of ventilation is enough for the ants to persist for a long time.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't be so ruthless in blocking the door and killing them, so now they simply can't come out. If the ants dig holes to break through again, he will let them out.

Unfortunately, after waiting for another day, there was still no movement from the ant nest.

Rowan was a little impatient. After thinking for a while, the hair on his legs sensed with all his strength, and he searched for the location of the pipeline in the underground cavity, and then found a location that was closer to the surface.

Then he used his huge digging foot to poke hard into the soil, and then dug harder, repeated a few times, and dug a big hole in the ground, and a round hole appeared on both sides of the hole wall.

This is too much digging, directly cutting off the passage of the ant nest.

The ants who were in the passage felt the air circulation, and hurried over to check the situation. It was discovered that there was an extra exit inexplicably, and there were no long-legged monsters guarding it outside. A few black ants cautiously crawled out of the hole, checked around, but found no danger.

He hurriedly turned around and returned, and after a while, swarms of red and black ants crawled out of the passageway.

It's a pity that they were too happy too early, and the encirclement only retreated a certain distance.

It may be that they have been holding back in the ground for a long time. In just a short while, the number of red and black ants climbing out of the ant nest has reached about 100,000.

The prey had already come out of the cage, and the encirclement of the swarm suddenly tightened.

Hundreds of transport bugs led the soldiers into the battlefield first, and they quickly cleaned up the enemy troops at the entrance of the cave, and re-enclosed the entrance of the cave.

The task of this team is very heavy. On the one hand, it needs to intercept the enemy troops who are still crawling out of the hole, and on the other hand, it needs to block the enemy troops who want to retreat back to the ant nest, which is equivalent to being attacked by the enemy.

However, they don't need to last long. After the enemy troops in the encirclement suffered a round of acid spray, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they were quickly wiped out by the swarm army.

It may be that the enemy army intercepted at the entrance of the cave returned to report the news. Before the battle outside was over, there were no enemy troops at the entrance of the cave to continue to emerge.

But it doesn't matter, after cleaning the battlefield and replenishing the rations, Luo Wen changed another place and dug a hole again.

Ants are not saints, the same trick still works...

So, the army surrounded, wiped out the enemy, cleaned the battlefield, and dug holes...

After several rounds, there were already six large pits on the ground.

Although the effect of the next few times was worse than the first time, more than 300,000 enemy troops were still turned into military rations.

At this time, the enemy army finally realized that it was a trap, and not many ants came out of the last pothole.

However, Rowan immediately came up with a new method.

He mobilized hundreds of spy bugs, and then divided them into six groups, entering from six potholes respectively.

Their task is to disguise their identities and go in to be the leading party.

In fact, it is best for Luo Wen to do this job, and the intelligence and adaptability of the spy bug are still a bit lacking. But he is too big now, and the work of diving has been impossible for a long time.

However, red ants can inexplicably attack friendly troops, so sneaking into them is quite dangerous. Fortunately, enough spy bugs came out this time, so even if they lost some, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Fortunately, the spy probably understood what Rowan meant.

After they got into the cave, they crawled all the way to the depths, spreading some new information along the way.

Therefore, originally there were only information channels such as "dangerous", "go back soon", "this road is blocked", and some pheromones that completely contradicted the previous information such as "this road is safe" and "go out this way" were added. .

These confusing messages caused ants who were exposed to their content to be disoriented, not knowing what was going on.

Some ants believed the information of dangerous content and did not dare to approach the entrance of the cave, while some ants chose to believe that the entrance of the cave was safe.

After a while, at the entrance of the cave, some red and black ants crawled out one after another.
