The two found it rather strange. Li Su's behavior was truly hard to understand.
Although Light-Spitting Insects were not venomous, their strength relied entirely on overwhelming numbers and their mana-devouring effect. In other words, an individual insect posed very little threat.
An adult insect was only the size of a thumb, and the light it spat out was merely a centimeter across. There was no need for a Battle Emperor—even a slight ripple of a Battle King's mana could erase it.
That was why both of them had acted directly just now, scooping up enormous quantities of insects and absorbing enormous quantities of mana-devouring light spheres.
Li Su's act of picking one up to eat was, quite frankly, impossible to make sense of.
They silently exchanged a glance, but neither spoke. Their divine senses remained fixed on Li Su, deeply curious about the meaning behind his actions.

After all, their bodies were far too small to contain much high-density energy.
Forget the Xia Kingdom, with its countless mortals—even
