Astral Cockroach

The entire day, Banbu was jumping up and down, indulging in "playing", and when tired, it was all about eating, eating, eating.

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass initially thought it was just a young warrior, not very intelligent, and naturally active, so it didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until it was preparing to leave in the evening that it shockingly discovered that the snake it had hunted in the morning had been gnawed to pieces throughout the day.

Looking closely at Banbu's actions, it was clear that there was a pattern, following a set of movements, constantly repeating. Every 5 repetitions, it would collapse, stop, eat, rest for a while, and then continue.

Food was rapidly consumed in this kind of regular, intense exercise.

"Banbu, what are you doing?"

"Exercising."

"Who taught you?"

"Inheritance."

Banbu said confidently.

Inherited memories were a good thing. The inherited memories awakened by each cockroach would be different. Things that couldn't be explained could be directly blamed on it without arousing suspicion.

"Oh, are there these strange things in your inherited memories?" Flame Cluster Spotted Grass was puzzled, but didn't think much about it, and instructed: "You should rest now, understand? Stop and rest!"

Banbu was just planning to rest, so it stopped very simply.

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass was very satisfied and instructed: "Don't run around, stay here quietly. The food is almost finished, I'll go hunt some in the jungle, what do you like to eat?"

"Snake."

"I like to eat snakes too."

After Flame Cluster Spotted Grass finished speaking, it flapped its wings and flew away, disappearing into the forest.

… …

As expected, Flame Cluster Spotted Grass didn't appear until dawn the next day, carrying a bright pink flower snake.

"Banbu, look, what I brought you."

A living snake!

Brightly colored, with gorgeous patterns and a triangular head, it was a venomous snake!

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass threw the venomous snake on the ground and said, "Banbu, I think it's necessary to teach you some hunting skills."

"Come, try it, kill it!"

"Don't be afraid, use your forelimbs to attack its…"

Before Flame Cluster Spotted Grass could finish speaking, Banbu suddenly flapped its wings, accelerated sharply, leaped up, landed on the snake's neck seven inches from its head, and used its forelimb toe tips to cut off the snake's head cleanly.

Afraid?

It was just a slender little venomous snake. Banbu had the ability to hunt independently after being promoted to a level 4 primary warrior. It had eaten too many Origin Power Fruits these past two days, and coupled with exercise, its overall physique had greatly improved, making it an easy task.

"Uh…" Flame Cluster Spotted Grass was stunned for two seconds, and in the tone of an elder, it sternly reprimanded: "Banbu, you are too reckless. The venomous snake's fangs and venom will take your life. You should carefully sneak up from behind and then ambush it."

"Skills, understand? Jungle hunting requires skills!"

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass felt that its dignity as an elder had been challenged, and said seriously, "This doesn't count, I'll catch another one, and you hunt according to my instructions."

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass finished speaking and left.

Banbu filled its stomach and picked up a Chinese Arborvitae seed to gnaw on.

Every time it ate a Chinese Arborvitae seed, it clearly felt that its cell activity was greatly improved, and this strengthening seemed to have no upper limit.

There were many benefits to the strengthening, such as cold and heat resistance, hunger resistance, drought resistance, less fatigue, more active and less likely to die brain cells, and faster nerve reaction speed…

The strengthening effect matched the exercise perfectly, promoting each other.

Banbu named the set of physical exercises it had hastily figured out the "Basic Body Refining Plan", and it had only been implemented for less than a day, but it was already showing initial results.

Eating the third Chinese Arborvitae seed was much easier than the previous two days.

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass quickly returned with a black snake caught in its hind leg claws.

The most common snake in the jungle, called the "Ornate Belly Black Snake", with an oval head and no venom. It was several times thicker than the previous venomous snake, the kind that could swallow Banbu in one bite.

"Banbu, look, I found a big guy, haha, it's a good training object."

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass threw the black snake on the ground and urged Banbu to act: "Banbu, according to the way I taught you, go, kill it!"

Banbu was speechless and remained unmoved.

The black snake landed and quickly swam and burrowed into the grass, desperately trying to escape.

How could you approach and ambush frightened prey from behind?

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass also realized this problem, and recaptured the escaped black snake, saying: "Banbu, this snake has no venom, but it is very strong. Fighting strong creatures head-on can train your courage!"

"Courage is indispensable to becoming a qualified tribal warrior!"

"Come, Banbu, fight it head-on!"

"Damn it, moron!" Banbu slandered secretly.

The adult Ornate Belly Black Snake is nearly 400 in length and nearly 10 in neck diameter. It hunts small animals such as squirrels, moles, frogs, toads, and birds in the jungle.

Banbu is currently only about 26 in length. How can such a small body fight this "giant" head-on?

If it were an ordinary level 4 primary warrior, Flame Cluster Spotted Grass would probably have killed it carelessly.

Banbu wasn't ordinary. It possessed human intelligence, and had undergone complete military training, possessing superb combat skills.

A qualified warrior would first judge the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and then understand the opponent's weaknesses and assess the chances of winning.

The difference in strength between it and the Ornate Belly Black Snake was too great, and the chances of winning were zero.

Banbu refused to fight.

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass threw the black snake in front of Banbu and urged, "Banbu, kill it!"

Banbu lay on the spot, motionless.

The black snake was also frightened and lost its mind. After landing, it twisted and swam, instinctively drilling into the grass.

"Banbu, are you scared!"

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass took out the majesty of an elder and reprimanded dissatisfiedly, followed it into the grass, and once again caught the black snake.

"Banbu, don't be afraid, kill it!"

"… …"

Banbu decisively flapped its wings and took off, flying at low altitude, watching the black snake escape again.

Seeing this, Flame Cluster Spotted Grass finally gave up and said, "Okay, maybe it's too difficult for you to fight the Ornate Belly Black Snake head-on. Let's practice fighting skills with weaker targets first."

"Banbu, you rest first, I'll go find something suitable to practice with in the jungle."

After Flame Cluster Spotted Grass finished speaking, it flapped its wings and flew into the jungle.

Banbu landed on the ground depressed and began to exercise its body according to the deduced "Basic Body Refining Plan".

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass treated Banbu as an ignorant young junior.

Little did it know that in Banbu's eyes, it was equivalent to a child whose mind was not yet mature. The majesty of an elder? It didn't exist at all.

This time, Flame Cluster Spotted Grass didn't return until near noon, and it didn't bring back a suitable animal to practice with, but instead carefully held a folded leaf in both forelimbs.

From afar, it shouted, "Banbu, look what I brought you!"

Spreading out the leaves, inside was a long string of wet, translucent particles, looking like the eggs of some animal.

Banbu didn't recognize it and transmitted pheromones to inquire curiously.

"Haha, don't recognize it, right? There must be no related records of this thing in your inherited memories. This is a delicacy I discovered myself!"

"Guess what it is?"

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass was very proud.

"Don't know."

Banbu shook its antennae.

Too lazy to guess.

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass deflated and explained, "Toads lay their eggs in ponds in the autumn. Banbu, try it, this is a delicacy even better than snake meat!"

Toads are ugly amphibians with small bumps all over their backs. When broken open, a white, highly poisonous slurry will splash out. They are notorious poisonous creatures in the jungle.

Toad eggs can be eaten?

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass saw Banbu's hesitation and said, "Banbu, don't be afraid, I came back after eating my fill… cough cough, no, I only ate a little, and brought the rest back for you."

Banbu was relieved. The other party had been gone for so long and should have been busy scooping up food in the pond.

Picking up a toad egg, biting it open, and carefully tasting it, the mucus entered its mouth, and an indescribable, wonderful, rich fragrance seemed to invigorate its whole body.

Not only was it non-toxic, but it was also a delicacy!

"Delicious, right?"

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass asked impatiently.

"Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!"

Banbu waved its forelimbs and shook its antennae excitedly.

"Haha, now is the peak season for toad spawning. We won't hurry on today. If you like to eat it, I'll go find some more."

Flame Cluster Spotted Grass was even happier than Banbu, vibrated its wings, and rushed into the jungle with great enthusiasm.

"Sure enough, it's like a child, thinking of one thing after another."

Banbu looked at the disappearing figure and shook its antennae helplessly.
