Astral Cockroach

Human Knowledge: A Sovereign-class metal core is one of the most durable substances in the universe.

The facts are self-evident: it withstood the high temperatures of friction with the atmosphere when it fell from outer space, and the impact with the ground, creating a crater over 1 kilometer in diameter, is enough to prove its durability.

"My bit of fire... is very ordinary!"

Banbu stared at the metal core rapidly melting into liquid, his expression somewhat dazed.

Bai Zhu trotted forward, lowered its head to take a look, and seeing that there seemed to be no danger, cautiously extended its paw, dipped it in a little, and put it in its mouth to taste.

"Banbu, it seems edible?"

"Fool! You dare to eat anything!"

Banbu waved its antennae and knocked Bai Zhu hard on the head, scolding, "Aren't you afraid of metal poisoning? You'll eat yourself to death!"

Bai Zhu stuck out its tongue and ran away with its head tucked in.

A Sovereign-class metal core is edible? Preposterous!

Banbu looked suspiciously, couldn't help but reach out a foreleg, dipped it in a little, and put it in its mouth to taste.

Warm, delicate, and smooth, with no flavor.

Looking again at the metal core on the ground, transformed into a pool of black, viscous liquid.

Why did this change occur? A headache.

Suddenly, a connection seemed to be established between the soul and the liquid formed by the metal core.

A thought flickered.

The viscous liquid metal core turned into thin threads, rose from the ground, and wrapped around its foreleg.

Under the control of its will, it constantly changed shape.

As if one, as easy as moving an arm.

"Interesting!"

"Can it be transformed into a solid?"

Banbu's mind moved, and it once again injected the original force into heat energy.

The viscous liquid metal suddenly lost control, rapidly diluted, and seeped into the body along the carapace.

The change occurred in an instant, fleeting.

By the time Banbu reacted, the liquid metal core had already penetrated deep into the blood vessels, flowing along with the blood.

Banbu attempted to control it with mental power, but the blood pumping made it completely uncontrollable.

"Banbu! Bai Zhu, it..." Rat Overlord exclaimed.

Banbu subconsciously turned its head to check, only to see Bai Zhu fall straight to the ground, limbs stiff, not knowing if it was dead or alive.

"I just..."

Banbu suddenly felt a sharp pain in its chest, the blood in its whole body stopped flowing in an instant, its six legs stiffened, and it sprawled stiffly on the ground.

Cockroach races all have three main hearts, front, middle, and rear, pumping blood together to flow.

The metallic liquid that had entered Banbu's blood vessels was all stuck in the front heart, near the head, and began to seep into the heart cells.

"This is unscientific!"

"Was I set up? Could it be that the Sovereign-class metal life wasn't completely dead?"

"No, the Human Race's Sovereign Realm powerhouse used Soul Capture Secret Technique to kill it; there's absolutely no chance of survival!"

"I also practice the Soul Capture Secret Technique; if there's a remnant soul, I can definitely detect it..."

"The metal core is one of the most durable substances in the universe; why would it melt..."

With the blood stopping, the brain's oxygen and energy supply was cut off, and the brain cells instinctively entered a dormant state, and consciousness slowly began to blur.

...

Big Bear dragged back a wild boar with its head smashed, and first saw Banbu lying stiffly on the ground with its six legs stiff.

Then it saw Bai Zhu, also with stiff limbs, collapsed on the ground.

Rat Overlord and the other six bamboo rat warriors were staring at each other, at a loss.

"What's going on?"

Big Bear dropped its prey and ran forward.

Mental power scanned, and found that both Banbu and Bai Zhu had fainted, with weak breaths.

"What's going on?" Big Bear raised its bear paw and glared at Rat Overlord.

"Probably..." Rat Overlord shrank back and said with difficulty, "Probably food poisoning... those two ate things indiscriminately..."

Big Bear looked at Bai Zhu: This guy has had two experiences with food poisoning, and didn't die either time, so it should be fine this time, right?

Feeling a little relieved, the raised bear paw retracted, scratched its head, and asked in confusion, "Banbu is the smartest, and can identify all kinds of plants and animals, how could it eat things indiscriminately?"

"What did it eat?" Big Bear pressed.

Rat Overlord thought for a moment and said seriously, "Sovereign-class metal life's brain core."

"???" Big Bear widened its eyes and asked, "What is that thing? Can it be eaten?"

"Bai Zhu's mouth is cheap; it ate it first, and it said it could be eaten..." Rat Overlord extended its paw, pointed at Bai Zhu, and then pointed at Banbu, saying, "However... it seems it can't be eaten."

Big Bear asked, "Is there no danger?"

"Bai Zhu shouldn't die." Rat Overlord shook its head, pointed at Banbu, and said, "Banbu's carapace has original force patterns, isolating my perception."

Big Bear looked up and thought for a moment, feeling relieved, and said affirmatively, "Bai Zhu won't die, Banbu will definitely be fine."

Ma Zhu said cautiously, "That thing is very strange... too strange, Banbu seems to be quite poisoned."

Just as it was speaking, Bai Zhu twitched its limbs, then staggered to its feet from the ground, looking around blankly, and saw Rat Overlord.

"Rat Overlord, I'm hungry..."

"Fool!" Rat Overlord complained, turned its head and ordered, "Ma Zhu, go get it something to eat."

"Fool!" Ma Zhu cursed, turned its head and said, "Shui Zhu, go get it something to eat."

...

One pushing another, and finally, the task of finding food fell on Jin Zhu.

"The nearby Ban Mao and Ba Mao have all been eaten by us, can't find any food, let's eat meat!" Jin Zhu tentatively asked, "Big Bear, drag the corpse over?"

Big Bear glanced sideways.

"Forget it, you rest, I'll go." Jin Zhu slowly walked to the wild boar corpse, cut off a piece of beast meat, returned, and threw it to Bai Zhu.

Bai Zhu was just physically exhausted, and quickly recovered as the food entered its stomach and was digested, looked at Banbu, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Banbu?"

"What's wrong? You fool, you ate things indiscriminately again!" Rat Overlord waved its paw and shouted, "Give it a lesson!"

Ma Zhu and the other five had long been eager to try, waiting for an order, and immediately pounced on Bai Zhu.

"Squeak!" Bai Zhu cried miserably.

"Squeak!" Ma Zhu cried miserably.

Bai Zhu held its head in its paws, shrunk on the ground, its fur bristling all over, straight as steel needles.

Ma Zhu's paw waving to hit Bai Zhu was pierced, and fresh blood was seeping out.

"Stop!" Rat Overlord lowered its voice to stop them, stepped forward, and stared at Bai Zhu to size it up.

Looking closely, there was a little metallic luster on Bai Zhu's fur, and there was also an original force aura, this was a sign of awakening metal ability!

Bai Zhu had only just advanced to L4 Advanced Warrior, and most of the high-quality original force food distributed by Banbu had been taken away, how could this situation occur?

Rat Overlord looked at Big Bear: Last time, Big Bear was also affected by that "Sovereign-class metal life's brain core", and its size increased abnormally.

One hundred percent certain, Bai Zhu's body had mutated because it ate the "Sovereign-class metal life's brain core".

Not a size increase like Big Bear, but another kind of change.

Bai Zhu, shrinking on the ground, also noticed something was wrong with itself, the fear subsided, and then, the fur as hard as steel needles softened.

"This is..." Bai Zhu was strange, tried hard, but the fur could no longer appear that kind of change.

Rat Overlord had been paying attention, thought for a moment, raised its paw, and pretended to hit.

Seeing this, Bai Zhu subconsciously covered its head with its paws, shrunk on the ground, its fur bristling all over, each one straight as steel needles.

Rat Overlord withdrew its paw, not feeling good, thought for a moment, and threatened, "Bai Zhu, don't be complacent, I have a way to deal with you."

"Metal ability!" Bai Zhu was not a fool, understood what was going on, and laughed triumphantly, "Haha, I have awakened metal ability! Try hitting me again?!"

"Pa!" Rat Overlord slapped Bai Zhu in the face with a backhand, and said coldly, "As long as the speed is fast enough, your ability won't have time to trigger."
