Chapter 25: Yellow Bug
Luo Wen’s eyes were exceptionally sharp when it came to moving objects. As soon as the yellow-brown creature entered his clear line of sight, he immediately noticed it.
A closer look confirmed it was the same type of bug he’d seen swaggering into the ant nest earlier.
Was it the exact same one he’d seen that day? Luo Wen wasn’t sure.
He suffered from bug-face blindness; he couldn’t even tell the difference between Black Two and Black Three, who were constantly buzzing around him, let alone a bug he’d only seen once.
Seeing this guy sparked a thought in Luo Wen’s mind. If he couldn’t beat the soldier ants, surely he could take on a yellow bug about the same size as himself?
What’s more, he was always eager to have a cordial and friendly “interaction” with any new species he encountered—preferably by tasting them. Who knew? He might just acquire some unique gene fragments.
Calculating that the transport team would take a little while to return, Luo Wen wasted no time. He identified a safe route and quickly scuttled toward the yellow bug.
The yellow bug was lounging leisurely, completely unaware of Luo Wen’s approach. This was precisely why he still had his large compound eyes—despite their hindrance during digging, they offered an unparalleled visual advantage.
It was like playing a game where everyone else’s map was shrouded in fog, while his was fully revealed.
