Jeremiah addressed Bonnie who was confused. "What does the poisonous insect king usually eat? Human blood?"

Emmett, Charles, and Andrew immediately grew tense. Although it seemed harmless and even cute, they all knew exactly how it had been raised on human blood.

Bonnie shook her head. "Jeremiah, the poisonous insect king is different from other low-level poisonous insects. It doesn't need human blood to survive.
