Gu Xinghe picked up an insect from the ground; it looked exactly like the insect that had been in their house the night before.

However, both of these are the same type of insect and can be easily crushed by human fingers.

But judging from the feel of crushing them, it was clearly inferior to the black beetles they had found in the house last night.

The same black worm in front of me looks much plumper.

In terms of feel, those skinny worms last night had a texture similar to crushed potato chips or other puffed snacks.

But these insects today are bursting with juice.

Perhaps this is because the two perform different duties—

The insects here actively emerge from their nests to forage for food.

The insects that hid under the walls of the house last night were acting as traps, passively waiting for food to enter.

At this moment, Gu Xinghe could feel that his hands were moist and slippery, and then they became somewhat sticky.

And it seems to have a slightly sweet taste, as if there are nutrients stored in the bodies of these insects.

If you eat it all at once, it should provide a pretty good amount of protein.

Thinking this, Gu Xinghe, because there were other people present, threw the insect he had just crushed onto the ground.

Then, a tentacle shrouded in black mist emerged from his shadow and devoured the dead insect.

If we were to name a few of the more memorable and bizarre "foods" he had "eaten" before...

The fragment of the Eris Mirror that he swallowed unconsciously was somewhat like a mint candy, with some glass shards inside.

The later, unfinished, unformed Crimson Lord carrier, Annie's blood, had a rather strong tomato sauce flavor.

Now, this plump, white, and juicy worm tastes like a protein supplement.

Some are like fitness meals that only consider health and nutrition, which are nutritious but just can't compare to junk food that's all seasoning.

But in reality, the so-called strange "food" does not taste like that at all.

Or rather, the strange existence of this "taste" doesn't even have a concept or definition.

But this did not prevent Gu Xinghe from understanding these flavors with a human mindset.

Just like Blanco and Sandy, who, under the influence of the swarm, gradually gravitated towards the insects' way of thinking without their knowledge.

From this perspective, the insect swarms were sent out to hunt.

From another perspective, it is also prey for other beings.

They diligently hunt and fatten themselves up until they are plump and white, and then they are transformed into food and served on the table of another being.
