The Great Merchant in the Cataclysm

kind of speed should not appear on a normal level 2 mutated animal.
However, the Obsidian Beetle already had this speed after it just reached level 2.

The Obsidian Beetle was not a mutated animal that emphasized on its speed.
This might mean that the strength of the Obsidian Beetle had increased as much as its speed.
It might have increased even more too.

The Obsidian Beetle was not fussy at all.
It hugged the mutated bear’s head and started munching it.
Zhang Mu only regained his senses after half of the head was eaten.
He remembered that the thing the Obsidian Beetle was eating now was his food.
He immediately shouted at the Obsidian Beetle without caring about its level, “you eat my dinner the moment you came out? I have not eaten for a while day and I just barbecued this, You timing is really good.”

However, the Obsidian Beetle just refuted him through their telepathy, “you didn’t eat for one day, I haven’t eaten for a week.
Who is in the worse state? You have food and drinks outside but I have nothing inside at all.
All you know is nag, nag, nag.
So stingy.”

Zhang Mu didn’t know what to reply to this at all.
He thought about it and felt that the Obsidian Beetle really seemed to be in a worst state than him.
However, he reacted quickly and realized that the Obsidian Beetle was just talking nonsense.
It could just suck the energy from its cocoon so it was just satisfying its taste buds now.

When he thought about this, the Obsidian Beetle had finished its bear head.
It wanted to attack the ribs which were half eaten by Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu still wanted to say something but the Obsidian Beetle shut him up with one sentence.
“Also, who told you that my timing was really good? I still needed to suck in more energy before I come out but I smelt the fragrance coming from outside so I forcefully kept the energy inside me first and planned to digest it later.”

Zhang Mu had nothing to say now.
This fellow was really impressive.
It gave up its safe route to level 2 just because of the smell of meat.

However, from its tone, it seemed confident that it could digest the energy later.

Yuan Rui, who was standing in a distance, reminded Zhang Mu, “Uncle if you don’t eat faster, Little Black might finish all the meat.
When Little Black eats, there won’t even be bones left.”

Zhang Mu woke up and realized that he couldn’t chase the Obsidian Beetle away.
Hence, he disregarded his image and started fighting with the Obsidian Beetle for food.
He stuffed his mouth with a bear paw and held another one in his hand.
He couldn’t care about the oil.
Snatching it first.

In terms of food, Zhang Mu felt that he couldn’t be compared at all to the Obsidian Beetle.
The Obsidian Beetle looked as though it didn’t even need to chew.
It just swallowed everything in an instant.

It only needed to put the food in its mouth.

Thus, when Zhang Mu finished his bear paw, the Obsidian Beetle had already finished most of the bear body.
Without the blood and oil that was flowing on the ground, there was no other evidence that a bear body was here at all.

Once it was full, the Obsidian Beetle ignored Zhang Mu totally and went to whine at Yuan Rui.
Although it was in the cocoon, it knew that Yuan Rui accompanied it every day and transferred some of her slightly useful life energy to her.

On the other hand, its owner, Zhang Mu, never really took care of it.

Zhang Mu was kicked to one side.
He felt that he was still hungry and ran into the house with a bitter expression.
He took the big pot of rice that Yuan Rui cooked just now and stuffed it into his mouth.
