Throughout the day, Speckle bounced around, engrossed in "playing", and when tired, it was all about eating.

Initially, Flame Cluster Speckle thought of Speckle as a young warrior, not very bright, naturally active, and didn't pay much attention until evening, when he was about to leave, he suddenly found that the snake he had killed in the morning had been gnawed at for the whole day.

Upon closer inspection of Speckle's actions, it was obvious that there was a pattern, following a set of movements, constantly repeating them. Every five repetitions, he would collapse, stop, eat, rest for a while, and then continue.

Food was quickly consumed in this rhythmic vigorous activity.

"Speckle, what are you doing?"

"Exercising."

"Who taught you?"

"Inheritance."

Speckle said confidently.

Inherited memory was a good thing. Each awakened cockroach's inherited memory would be different, and things that couldn't be explained could be directly attributed to inheritance without arousing suspicion.

"Oh, do you still have these peculiar things in your inherited memory?" Flame Cluster Speckle was puzzled but didn't dwell on it much, and instructed, "You should rest now, understand? Stop and rest!"

Speckle was just about to rest and stopped abruptly.

Flame Cluster Speckle was very satisfied and admonished, "Don't run around, stay quiet here. Food is running out, I'll go into the jungle to hunt some, what do you like to eat?"

"Snake."

"I also like to eat snake."

After Flame Cluster Speckle finished speaking, he flew off into the forest.

...

As expected, Flame Cluster Speckle only appeared at dawn the next day, holding a bright pink flower snake.

"Speckle, look, what I brought you."

A live snake!

Bright in color, beautifully patterned, triangular head, a venomous snake!

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

"Come on, give it a try, kill it!"

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

Before Flame Cluster Speckle could finish his words, Speckle suddenly flapped his wings, accelerated abruptly, leaped up, and landed on the snake's neck at a distance of seven inches, cutting with the tips of his forelimb toes, cleanly slicing off the snake's head.

Afraid?

It was just a slender little snake. After Speckle was promoted to L4 junior warrior, he had the ability to hunt alone. After eating too many primal force fruits these days, coupled with exercise, his overall physical fitness had greatly improved, making it effortless.

"Uh..." Flame Cluster Speckle was stunned for two seconds, then, in the manner of an elder, sternly reprimanded, "Speckle, you are too reckless. The snake's fangs and venom could have taken your life. You should carefully approach from behind and then strike."

"Skills, understand? Hunting in the jungle requires skill!"

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Feeling that his authority as an elder was being challenged, Flame Cluster Speckle said seriously, "This doesn't count, I'll catch another one, and you'll kill it according to my instructions."

After saying that, Flame Cluster Speckle left.

Speckle filled his stomach and picked up a cypress seed to gnaw on.

Every time he ate a cypress seed, he could clearly feel his cell activity greatly increasing. This strengthening seemed to have no limit.

The benefits of strengthening were numerous: resistance to cold and heat, resistance to hunger, resistance to drought, less fatigue, more active brain cells less likely to die, and faster nerve reaction rates...

The strengthening effect matched well with exercise, mutually reinforcing each other.

Speckle named the hastily devised set of exercises to strengthen the body "Basic Body Refinement Plan," which showed initial results in less than a day.

Eating the third cypress seed was much easier than the first two days.

As expected, Flame Cluster Speckle returned at dawn the next day, this time not bringing back suitable practice animals, but two carefully held leaves folded up into a bundle.

He called from a distance, "Speckle, look what I brought you!"

Unfolding the leaves revealed a long string of wet, translucent granules, resembling the eggs of some creature.

Speckle didn't recognize them, transmitting his puzzled inquiry pheromone.

"Haha, don't recognize them, right? There must be no relevant records of these things in the inherited memory. These are delicious delicacies I discovered myself!"

"Guess what it is?"

Flame Cluster Speckle was very pleased.

"I don't know."

Speckle shook his antennae.

Couldn't be bothered to guess.

Disappointed, Flame Cluster Speckle explained, "These are the eggs of the earth toad, laid in the pond during the autumn. Speckle, try it, it's even more delicious than snake meat!"

The earth toad was an ugly amphibian, covered with small bumps, bursting with white poisonous fluid when broken, and was a notorious disgusting toxin in the jungle.

Could you eat earth toad eggs?

Seeing Speckle's hesitation, Flame Cluster Speckle said, "Speckle, don't be afraid. I only ate a little before coming back... Oh no, I didn't. I only ate a little, and I brought the rest back for you."

Speckle felt relieved. The other party had been gone for so long before coming back; he must have been busy scooping up food from the pond.

Picking up one earth toad egg, biting it open, carefully tasting it, the mucilage entered his mouth, and an indescribable wonderful fragrance filled his body with vitality.

Not only was it not poisonous, it was also an exquisite delicacy!

"Delicious, right?"

Flame Cluster Speckle asked eagerly.

"Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!"

Speckle waved his forelimbs excitedly and wiggled his antennae.

"Haha, it's the peak season for earth toad egg laying now. We won't hit the road today. Since you like it, I'll go find more."

Flame Cluster Speckle was even happier than Speckle, fluttering his wings and enthusiastically flying into the jungle.

"Indeed, just like a child, one thing leads to another."

Speckle watched the disappearing figure, shaking his antennae helplessly.

Unbeknownst to Flame Cluster Speckle, in Speckle's eyes, he was just like an immature child. The authority of an elder? It didn't exist.

This time, Flame Cluster Speckle didn't return until near noon, and instead of bringing back suitable practice animals, he carefully carried two leaves folded into a bundle.

Calling out from afar, he said, "Speckle, look what I brought you!"

Opening the leaves revealed a long string of wet, translucent granules, resembling the eggs of some creature.

Speckle didn't recognize them and transmitted his puzzled inquiry pheromone.

"Haha, don't recognize them, right? There must be no relevant records of these things in the inherited memory. These are delicious delicacies I discovered myself!"

"Guess what

it is?"

Flame Cluster Speckle was very pleased.

"I don't know."

Speckle shook his antennae.
