Chapter 6, Poisoning

The body was not excavated until the night of the second day, and then the consumption began

At sunset, the warriors of the Red Cockroach tribe spread their wings as usual, soaring into the sky and diving into the jungle to hunt for food

The second method is to change nests, wander into the mountains, and collect the corpses of insects that could not withstand the cold of autumn nights and have frozen to death

The only regret is that the situation of the mother cockroach shows no signs of improvement

Hastily digging a large pit under the raspberry bushes, gathering and burying the body, and then bringing stones to weigh it down

With an additional adult cockroach as an assistant, Banbu certainly would not stop, but would instead dig even more fervently, striving to enlarge the cellar as much as possible

At this moment, the striped cloth and the mother cockroach had just filled the cellar.

Until dawn, the mother cockroach, seeing that not a single cockroach corpse had been unearthed, conveyed her feelings of confusion to the spotted one

A premeditated action, executed in one go, and swiftly departed after completion

The mottled feathered creature flapped its wings, spiraled down to the ground, and forcefully pierced a gap with the tips of its forelimb claws.

Common cockroaches have zero combat capability and lack the ability to hunt. They cannot compete for food against those mature cockroaches. What should be done

The mottled cloth moves the dry leaves, covering the entrance of the cellar, contentedly lying on top, swaying its antennae, sending messages to the cockroach mother

Silently waiting

The power of a whole raspberry fruit, under a chain reaction, should be sufficient to kill tens of thousands of adult cockroaches

The sight of the mottled cloth is heart-wrenching

Lying on the withered branches, silently enjoying the subtle primal energy emanating from the corpse below as it transforms the body

Once the Force fruit is harvested, if not stored properly, the contained Force will gradually dissipate, losing its effectiveness

At the same time, there is a sense of longing for the future: this planet seems to easily give birth to Force-sensitive plants, and after becoming a Force-sensitive being, it should not lack resources

Banbu set off immediately, rushing towards the raspberry thicket

In the late night, the mother cockroach turned back again, making three round trips overnight, dragging away three cockroach corpses

Rest, rest, rest ... ...

More unidentified cockroaches surged forward, beginning to scavenge the corpse

Without any storage devices, what cannot be consumed can only be left on the tree, allowing nature to take its course

The earliest cockroaches that began to feed immediately perished, and their bodies were consumed by other cockroaches

The striped cloth also desperately fed for a whole day and night, consuming an entire adult cockroach. Unfortunately, the residual strands of primal energy within the corpse had dissipated, losing the effect of enhancing cellular activity.

The issue is that there is only one cockroach corpse left in the reserve, as the others have been dragged away by the mother cockroach

Mature fruits, in a state of imminent natural detachment, can be easily kicked off and fall to the ground

The force contained within the corpse is somewhat intense and extremely dangerous. It must be left to rest for one night to allow it to gradually dissipate before it can be consumed

At this moment, centered around the raspberry thicket, there are clusters of corpses

Waste of resources

Banbu thought of two methods

Eat, eat, eat ... ...

Danger, danger

The good news is that the corpse has no wounds, and the cool, dry autumn weather allows for a longer preservation period, so there is no immediate need to worry about the meat.

The first method is safe and efficient, and it can further enhance cellular activity through the Force. However, the large-scale poisoning of one's own kind is excessively malicious and contradicts human ethics.

The mother cockroach waved her antennae, urging the spotted one to eat

The lack of meat and solely relying on humus for sustenance will double the time required for growth at each age stage, taking approximately 10 days. This means it will take about 40 more days to reach the sub-adult stage at 10 years of age

Move, move, move...

The spotted cloth continued to convey information to the cockroach mother, began to take action, transporting the corpses, dragging them into the nesting chamber and the cellar for storage

In a few days, the raspberry fruits gradually ripened. The warriors of the Cockroach tribe did not understand how to effectively utilize the Force fruits to enhance their strength, and could only digest at most two each day. Now, the raspberry bushes were laden with clusters of bright red ripe raspberries, which they simply could not consume all.

Banbu had long set his sights on a fully ripe raspberry fruit. He swiftly ascended the tree, climbed onto a branch, inverted his body, wrapped his forelimbs and middle legs tightly around the branch, and exerted force with his hind legs to push against the raspberry fruit

One transmits to ten, ten transmits to a hundred, and thus the "poison" spreads so simply

With the shedding of the shell and the continuous enhancement of cellular activity, the modern brain is capable of sustaining continuous thought on several complex issues

Several adult cockroaches, attracted by the raspberry bushes, rushed in and began to voraciously feed.
