Jila held the fist-sized Life Crystal and had no idea where to start. Life Crystals could only be absorbed by the mother, and the Bug Nest could not do it for her.
Jila closed her eyes and pressed the Life Crystal against her forehead. Her brows knitted tightly, as if she were brewing something.
"Absorb!"
Jila exerted herself with all her might. However, nothing happened.
Su Xiao snatched the Life Crystal away. He exerted force with his hand, and with a crack, crushed the Life Crystal. He had originally wanted to test whether Jila had some special method of absorption. After all, he did not know much about Life Crystals. If the bio-energy inside leaked out after being crushed, it would be a huge loss.
The fist-sized Life Crystal shattered in Su Xiao's hand, but no bio-energy leaked out.
Seeing this, Jila began eating the Life Crystal piece by piece. The whole thing had been about the size of a fist, and after she ate roughly one-third of it, the Bug Nest's bio-energy reserves were full.
Jila had still been a First Order mother yesterday, but by the afternoon of the next day, she was qualified to advance to the Third Order and reach the level of an insect queen.
Su Xiao glanced at the remaining two-thirds of the shattered Life Crystal in his hand. Based on a rough estimate, one high-purity Life Crystal was equivalent to about 10,000 points of bio-energy.

This method was faster than robbing other Bug Nests. However, it could not be done often. There were only three Fourth Order Bug Nests, and this time, he had simply been lucky enough to know
