In the end, they found a place to stay.
They had not found a cave without a Swarm. Instead, they simply chose a cavern where a Swarm was already resting.
Since everything within the Swarm Kingdom was public property, Zhou Qing guessed that they could probably rest anywhere.
Sure enough.
The resting Swarm had been alerted by Zhou Qing and the others' arrival, but it merely brushed them a few times with its antennae. After confirming their identities, it made no move to drive them away.
"Their vigilance is far too low." Dugu Bo shook his head, suspecting that if these Swarms existed in a Soul Beast Forest, they would become the very bottom of the food chain and be preyed upon by all manner of carnivorous Soul Beasts.
"Do you remember when they collected our blood? That was how the Swarm determined that we were not genuine invaders!"
Yet Zhou Qing only found it terrifying!
In such a short time, the Mother Bug had used their blood to secrete the corresponding Pheromones and transmit them to every member of the Swarm, allowing them to be recognized by the Swarm.
How incredibly efficient was that?
Not to mention the feudal society of Douluo Continent—even in the modern society of his previous life, there had not been a single country whose operational efficiency could rival the Swarm's way of functioning.

However, every individual within the Swarm lacked intelligence and thought. They were loyal "living machines," carrying out orders from top to bottom in the truest sense.
If every individual in the Swarm possessed independent thoughts and wills, they would likely all have their own agendas and could never
