I can understand what the furry creatures are saying, and I've become the number one beast tame

Chapter 54 Insect-Killing Pig Heart!!
Do you dare to fight me to the death?!
The Heart-Eating Worm, with its short legs, finally managed to utter the declaration of war in its entirety.

then……

Nan Ran smiled and reached out to pinch it twice more.

Heart Eater:! ! ! ! !

Ahhh, it's going to fight her to the death!! They'll both perish!!

Nan Ran suddenly felt something small bumps on her hand. Looking down, she discovered they were round, orange-flame-colored beads...

Like salmon roe.

Huh! !

She moved her hand away with some disdain and looked at the Frostbeast for help.

The heart-devouring worm, whose heart had already given up hope, suddenly had its dying embers reignited.

Hahaha, I, the devil, is still one step ahead!

"what is this?"

Nan Ran thought that most of the monsters here were treasures, and since she was new to the place, the information she could access was very limited. It would be more reliable to ask an old native like the Frost Beast.

That's why they didn't just throw the Heart-Eating Worm out directly.

I'm afraid we might lose some precious treasure.

[Fire Spirit Essence!!]
The Frostbeast's tone was a mix of excitement and regret.

Unfortunately, the Heart-Eating Worms in the Water Fairy Forest are mostly fire-type...

[This is a method the Heart-Eating Worm uses to protect itself when it encounters danger.]
The Fire Spirit Essence contains a very rich concentration of fire element, and many people want to capture the Heart-Eating Worm for its spiritual essence.
[However, the spiritual essence expelled by the Heart-Eating Worm was coated with a thin layer of mucus.]
This coating contains highly toxic substances.
The Frostbeast hesitated for a moment, then took a second look at Nan Ran's soft, white hands, which were still perfectly intact despite having been touched by the Fire Spirit Essence.

It was momentarily unsure whether the information it had previously known was still correct.

[Take this Heart-Eating Worm in your hand, for example. It's a fire-type, so what it spits out is fire spirit essence. The sticky coating that covers the fire spirit essence is actually extremely concentrated fire poison.]
The Frostbeast couldn't help but glance at Nanran's hand again.

She was still as fair and clean as ever, with well-defined finger bones, slender and beautiful.

[Don't be fooled by the small size of the fire spirit essence that the Heart-Eating Worm spits out; the amount of fire poison slime covering it is also small.]
[However, the fire poison it contains is extremely concentrated. Even a tiny bit, if touched by a person or animal, is enough to instantly spread throughout their body, burning their internal organs to ashes and causing them to die.]
Nan Ran: ...

She glanced at the orange-flame "bushi" insect paste lying limply in her palm, somewhat doubting that Frostmon was exaggerating.

Even the Frostbeast is questioning its very existence!

In its inherited memories, the Heart-Eating Worm was an invincible being...

Even in the Water Demon Forest, there are many examples of people who tried to devour the Heart-Eating Worm to improve their cultivation, only to be devoured by its toxins.

In other words, this thing is a treasure!

Nan Ran was certain that the fire poison, slime, and coating that the Frostbeast had mentioned simply did not exist for her. She felt instantly relieved and unceremoniously removed the few orange-flame-colored small round beads from the Heart-Eating Worm.

After picking them all, I didn't forget to squeeze the little fat worm's soft belly a few times, like squeezing fish eggs.

Just as the Heart-Eating Worm was gloating over its victory over the woman's evil hand, its mind went blank for a long time.

!!!

What's going on?!
Wasn't this woman already struck by its deadly attack?!
Why can you still squeeze it?!
That's their Heart-Eating Insect Clan's trump card!!

Our ancestors said that no one, no beast, nothing can escape the fatal blow of the Heart-Eating Insect Clan!

The Heart-Eating Worm, lifted up again, became increasingly doubtful about its very existence. Nan Ran had no idea what the Heart-Eating Worm was thinking; the little guy was simply too tiny.

Small eyes, small mouth, everything about her is small.

She couldn't see what expression the little fat worm was making at all!

Of course, I wouldn't care much if I saw it.
Nan Ran picked up the little chubby bug, pinched it, squeezed it, and finally shook it again, unwilling to give up. "Hiss? Is that all?"

She opened her palm and counted: "One, two, three..."

Only five? That's hardly enough to even fill a big cat's teeth!
Nan Ran thought back to her past life, when someone fed cats caviar.

The cat ate the whole small box of caviar.

There don't look like many, maybe a hundred or so.

Even if this big cat were to transform into a pet, it would still be two sizes larger than the adult Maine Coon cats she had seen in her previous life. It would probably need to eat at least three to five hundred of them to taste the flavor.

The Heart-Eating Worm had no idea that the smiling woman harbored such dark, wicked, and despicable thoughts!

Kill the insects, but destroy the spirit!

Pig's heart!!!

The Frostbeast had no idea what Nan Ran was thinking, otherwise it would probably have been quite frightened.

Spiritual essence is good, but you can't consume it like this!!
Looking across the entire Beast Continent, who would even think of eating this thing?
Even if you only get one or two of those, you have to carefully refine them into pills, turn them into water, and divide them into portions that will last for at least thirty to fifty years, or even longer, to slowly nourish and savor them.

[Woman! You, you, you!! Don't be so smug!!!]
After being pinched by Nan Ran and struggling for a long time with her little legs kicking, Chongchong finally managed to squeeze out a harsh word in a fit of rage.

[Awooo!! If you've got the guts, come home with me!!]
[My ancestors will definitely not let you get away with this!!]
That's so unfair to the little bug!! Waaaaah...

Upon hearing this, Nan Ran's eyes lit up instantly.

"You mean you're willing to take me to your hideout?"

Her voice softened considerably, like a spring breeze in April: "Really?"

What a wonderful little chubby worm!

He shared her worries and anxieties, and even offered to take her back to his hometown for a joyful getaway!
She was worried that she couldn't offer the big cat a few pieces of caviar (bushi) insect paste.

Now everything is solved, isn't it?

The Heart-Eating Worm, completely oblivious to the impending danger, arrogantly declared war: [Ha, I knew you were scared. Now kneel down, kowtow, and beg for my forgiveness... Huh?]
Realizing what Nan Ran had just said, the Heart-Eating Worm's tiny eyes widened in terror.

[You're not scared at all!?]
Damn it! !
They've been provoked!
The bug roared in fury: [Yes! It's absolutely true!! Do you dare? Do you dare? Do you dare?!]
Ha, that woman was definitely faking it just now; she certainly wouldn't dare.

The infamous Heart-Eating Worm has been renowned throughout the Beast Continent for centuries, and no one has ever dared to provoke it lightly...

"Okay! Let's go now! Hurry, hurry, get it done quickly!!"

Don't let us miss the trial team's departure!
Heart Eater:...

Why wasn't she afraid?
Surely our ancestors couldn't have been lying to us?

Updates have resumed!!

My hands are still shaking slightly, but overall it's okay; I can type (though at a slightly slow pace).
P.S.: I can't help but laugh when I think about what this bug is based on.
