"This is..." Simon's eyes widened.
"Molting? It's actually molting? It only just hatched!" Dai Le looked just as bewildered.
What was happening defied the basic principles of biology and entomology.
But...
A black beetle that could evolve and mutate from an ordinary mealworm into a Bronze-Tier Lifeform had already broken free of ordinary biological and entomological principles.
A crack opened along the black beetle's back, revealing an earthy-yellow figure.
As the crack widened bit by bit, a plump insect revealed its true form.
Once the insect escaped the confines of its black shell, it swelled rapidly like an inflating balloon.

[Yellow Mealworm Queen] Quality: Bronze Description: A yellow mealworm that underwent an unexpected mutation. Against odds of one in hundreds of millions, it grew into the ruler of the yellow mealworm species. Functions: ① Enhances all yellow mealworms within a hundred-meter radius, greatly increasing disease resistance, vitality, growth rate, mating drive, and reproductive output. ② Uses its own spirituality to unlock the yellow mealworm species' genetic lock, granting a small chance of producing Strong Yellow Mealworms and an extremely small chance of producing Mutant Yellow Mealworms. ③ Can lay 20,000–40,000 yellow mealworm eggs every three days, with an increased probability of superior and variant eggs. ④ Sensitive to energy-rich substances.
