Chapter 3 - Finding Food

When Rowan woke up again, he could feel that the surrounding temperature was lower, and he was a little hungry, but the eggshell had already been eaten. An eggshell twice as big as his was only enough for two meals, and I don't know where it went.

And it can be inferred from this that his appetite is quite good. Although being able to eat is a blessing, it is not good news for him.

The surface is a desert, and his food has not yet been found, and he may starve to death in a few days.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of urgency, and he couldn't be a starving ghost.

So, sensing the direction of the surface, using all six limbs together, he climbed up all the way.

The surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower, and Rowan even wondered if he had climbed in the wrong direction, but the tentacles and leg hairs told him that he was right, so he could only bite the bullet and move on. Oh, his scalp is already hard and dark.

The moment he climbed out of Shashuo, he was stunned, the surrounding yellow sand disappeared, and a layer of silver frost covered the ground. If the geology hadn't changed along the way, he thought he had crossed again.

"Where is this place? The temperature difference between day and night is huge." It should be night at this time, and the light is much weaker. What is amazing is that he can see a distance of five or six meters, which is a lot farther than last time. Are you a nocturnal bug? Rowan was a little uncertain.

But even if the viewing distance has been enhanced, it is still impossible to see what the cold light source in the sky looks like. Still, he could feel the quantity.

two! At this time, there are actually two light sources in the sky!

During the day, there is only one light source in the sky, and I still have the possibility of being teleported back to my hometown. But now, this possibility has been completely cut off.

According to Luo Wen's limited astronomical knowledge, he can conclude that there are at least two moons hanging in the sky.

However, he quickly accepted the reality, he has become a bug, how big a deal are multiple moons in the sky? In the past two days, he has been shocked too much, and he is already immune to it.

One of the three choices became one of the two, and he only hoped that he would not travel to that world of wizards, where the danger was too high, and it was obviously not a place for a little bug like him to stay.

Of course, the main task now is to fill his stomach, otherwise, he may not be able to wait for the day when he finds out where he is.

The food was not seen for the time being, but there was a layer of frost on the ground. Luo Wen decided to drink enough water before talking.

His mouthparts are a bit long, and the front end is like a mushroom head. At this time, it is flattened into a disk and sticks to the ice. The small articulate teeth hidden inside quickly scratched the ice surface, scraping off a little bit of debris each time, and was sucked into the abdomen with the help of the tongue.

Rowan didn't know what he looked like when he was eating, and he didn't want to know, he just used these organs instinctively. And the worm even has a tongue, this is really seeing the undead, he didn't know this before he became a worm.

After smoking for a long time, only a shallow ice nest appeared on the ice surface, which shows that his eating efficiency is poor. But he had no choice but to continue.

The cold liquid flowed into his stomach, making him feel a little stiff all over his body. Gradually stagnant consciousness recalled that when I was a human being, those annoying mosquitoes and flies disappeared in winter.

It was only then that I realized that I had also turned into a bug. In such a cold weather, I still went out surfing and drank iced drinks, wouldn't I kill myself?

The shock brought him back to his senses, and he panicked and crawled back along the route he had come from.

This place is too damn dangerous, it's too hot during the day and too cold at night, so when will I go find something to eat? Just now I was going to drink enough water to check the surroundings a little bit to see if there is any food, but now I can only give up.

Back in the depths of the ground, Rowan, who had just woken up, didn't want to continue to rest. And there is no time for him to rest, he must find a food source as soon as possible.

Since the surface is not good, let's look for it underground. His digging talent is quite extraordinary, wouldn't it be a pity not to make good use of it?

Just do what you want, Luo Wen immediately started to do it, chose a direction at random, and buried his head in digging.

The two tentacles on the top of the head are constantly vibrating, bringing him some novel experiences and at the same time conveying a lot of information to him. They seem to have both the functions of nose and ears, and can smell and hear.

While moving forward, the tentacle suddenly smelled a strange smell from the lower left position. Strangeness represents the unknown, and it may also represent food. Rowan became excited, and speeded up and dug in that direction.

As the distance approached, the strange smell became stronger and stronger, but Luo Wen gradually slowed down.

He came out to find food, not to deliver food.

He is now thin and small, not as big as a bigger blowfly, and he has just been "born" not long ago, and has not yet learned the fighting skills of insects. But whenever he encounters someone who is alive and can fight back, he probably won't be able to beat him, so he still has to plan before moving and proceed with caution.

Trying hard to integrate into the insect's instinct, slowly, not only the fluff on Luo Wen's legs stood up, but even the fluff all over his body stood up.

All kinds of vibrations coming from the left front were sensed by his body without any omission, and slowly gathered into information and sent to the brain, and after the integration and analysis of the brain, he came to a conclusion.

There are three or four living creatures in front of them. They move slowly and are not as big as him. You can touch them first and take a look. If you find something wrong, run away immediately. There are no cooked worms here, and there is no fear of embarrassment.

Carefully pawing the sand and soil in front of him, Rowan's digging skills are a little uncomfortable here. The small paws on his forelimbs are good at pulling Shashuo, but they are a bit powerless against the deep underground soil.

Fortunately, it hasn't completely reached the soil layer here, it's just a half-sand and half-soil structure, and he's only a little bit slower.

Moreover, the sand here has better support. He excavated and squeezed over and over again to dig a channel, and then transported the excavated silt to the upper sand layer.

After a while, he dug a passage, just enough to accommodate his body, so that he could escape more quickly when he encountered danger.

Getting closer to the target, Luo Wen's movements became softer, but his body became tighter and tighter. Suddenly, as the sand in front of him was pushed away, a round, chubby white transparent bug rolled in front of him.

Its body is segmented one by one, with a total of more than ten segments, but only three pairs of short limbs and a small yellow head grow on the first few segments. But what Luo Wen couldn't accept was that this thing actually had a pair of mighty big teeth.

The size of the little thing is not much different from that of Rowan, just a little smaller. At this time, it was suddenly pulled out from the sand, and it was constantly curling up and stretching its body, making a weak hissing sound, hoping to scare it away Rowan.

Seeing Bai Chong'er who was struggling to turn over in the mud, Luo Wen didn't panic anymore, and his courage grew stronger, he sneered in his heart.

"Small, don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you have a pair of big teeth!"
