Over the past few days, Feng Luo had not revealed 24K in front of others.
Since most of the people participating in this mission had participated in the previous clean-up mission, they naturally recognized the seven types of Common beetles.
Although they did not know what 24K looked like due to the special situation in the temple, many people had already guessed that there was a King Beetle with commanding abilities among the beetles in the ruins.
If he used other beetles other than the Scout Beetle in front of these people, it would be easy for them to guess that Feng Luo had obtained it in the temple, and they would also be able to guess the grade of 24K.
Of course, it was not a big deal even if they guessed it, as it was not something that could not be seen.
At the moment, Feng Luo did not want to expose the fact that he had a pet. He planned to wait until more people had pets before revealing it so that it would not attract attention.
Based on the current situation, it was very difficult for players to have a pet, and no one had ever heard of a Boss Grade pet. Feng Luo did not plan to make himself a topic of conversation.
Another point was that after the death of the Elite-level Scout Beetle, he did not need 24K for the time being. Hence, he kept 24K in the pet space, only occasionally letting it out to feed some energy crystals to prevent its intimacy from dropping.
In truth, the usefulness of the Scout Beetle was undoubtedly huge.
Without the Scout Beetle, and after the entire Roguetown communication was blocked by the Umbrella Corporation, the players were in a situation of complete darkness. No matter what decision they made, they would inevitably feel uncertain.
As such, Feng Luo had always had plans to hatch a "Scout Beetle."
However, to hatch a beetle, certain conditions were required. Apart from the egg in the King Beetle's body, there was also a need for sufficient psionic energy to catalyze it, and most importantly, the carcass of a monster of a certain level!
Were there monsters in Roguetown?
Perhaps there were. The zombie dog he had encountered earlier was one, and it had reached Level 45. However, the carcasses of the two zombie dogs had already been taken away by the people from the Umbrella Corporation. Moreover, the Elite Grade Scout Beetle had not died, so Feng Luo did not think about hatching it.
On the following day, due to the full outbreak of the Biohazard crisis, the entire Roguetown was in chaos. Almost all living things were eaten by the zombie hordes. Now, there was not even a single Level 1 rat, let alone a monster that met the level requirements.
As for the huge number of zombies?
It was only later that Feng Luo discovered that the King Beetle could not lay its eggs on the corpses of humanoid or humanoid creatures.
In other words, there were zombies everywhere in Roguetown, and it was impossible to incubate a Scout Beetle. This was also why Feng Luo had never had the chance to replenish a Scout Beetle.
Encountering this Golden Python was undoubtedly a stroke of luck.
Not only was it classified as a monster, but it was also level 25, which just happened to meet the minimum requirements for a Scout Beetle to hatch.
A certain level of monster carcass was required to hatch a certain type of beetle (different beetles had different requirements). This was because the beetle would "devour" the monster carcass during the hatching process.
Of course, the so-called 'devouring' didn't really mean eating the corpses, it was just a description.
To be honest, with the size of a Scout Beetle that was only the size of a fingernail, it would take at least ten days to half a month for it to swallow a three-meter-long Golden Python's carcass, not to mention whether it was reasonable for it to be able to eat it.
Therefore, the so-called "eating" was, to be precise, absorbing all the essence and nutrients of the Golden Python. In other words, it was "gaining experience."
After the egg hatched, the newborn beetle would obtain a certain percentage of the experience the monster had when it was alive. This was, without a doubt, a very worry-free setting for Feng Luo. He didn't need to level up with the little beetles for a long time, and the beetle army could quickly form a combat force.
…
An exquisite, translucent egg that looked like a grain of rice was injected into the Golden Python's body.
After that, the egg began to emit a faint golden glow. A type of energy, which the system named psionic energy, began to flow toward the Golden Python's body, forming a unique energy channel.
The entire Golden Python's carcass also began to emit a faint glow. However, the nutrients within seemed to be continuously draining away. The golden scales on its body began to lose their luster, and its rattlesnake tail also began to cave in.
Although the Golden Python's level of 25 barely met the requirements for a Scout Beetle to hatch, it was still an Elite monster. Its energy provided more energy and experience than normal monsters.
Scout Beetle hatching. Estimated time required: 180 seconds!
A system notification message flashed across Feng Luo's vision.
The stronger the monster's carcass, the longer the time needed for the egg to absorb the nutrients. The previous Elite Grade Scout Beetle had been hatched with the help of a Level-45 Elite Grade monster, and it had taken a full 10 minutes to hatch.
However, 180 seconds was definitely a bit long in the current situation. Since the people in front were all retreating, Feng Luo definitely couldn't wait here for three minutes.
Moreover, he had fired two shots earlier, so he couldn't stay in this position for too long. Otherwise, he might be targeted by the Umbrella Corporation.
As such, Feng Luo chose to leave immediately after the hatching message appeared. As for the Scout Beetle, as long as it hatched, it would form a mental link with 24K, and when that happened, it would naturally fly to his side.
"Wait a minute … Oh no, I actually forgot about something!"
However, just as he had taken a few steps out of the door with his gun in hand, Feng Luo suddenly remembered something.
If players were infected by the T-virus, they would become Elite Grade monsters after death!
He wasn't sure if the enemy Sniper player had been infected, but although he had only taken a look through the scope, Feng Luo had already keenly noticed that the Sniper's pupils were a different dark red color than normal people.
This special phenomenon might not be that simple!
With a thought, Feng Luo flipped out of the other window and immediately changed his direction. He quickly moved towards a position where he could see the Sniper player's corpse.
After a few seconds, when he saw that the ground was empty except for a pool of dark red blood and a torn combat uniform, Feng Luo knew that the situation was indeed as he had imagined.
On the street in front of the shop, there was a faint line of bloody footprints that looked like sharp claws. The footprints extended straight in the direction of the retreating crowd not far away.
Among the escaping crowd in the distance, Feng Luo could also hear the noise and panicked shouts that could not be hidden under the background of all kinds of gunshots.
