The sun set on the westernmost sand dune. The orange-red sun in the sky retracted its blinding light, leaving only the last bit of warmth. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Talk △ Net
】
The temperature in the desert finally dropped below 45 degrees Celsius.
Feng Luo's camouflage uniform automatically changed its color to match the desert's earthy yellow background. He held the Eye of the Thunder and hid behind a sand dune with a few piles of thorny weeds.
Beside him, 24K, which was also golden in color, did not need any camouflage at all. It perfectly blended into the desert environment without any sense of disharmony.
At that moment, 24K was crouched under the shadow of the thorny weeds. Its golden claws were tightly wrapped around the "stone" that Feng Luo had spent 6,000 credits to buy. It had already eaten half of it.
However, the appearance of this originally blue-gray stone had undergone a huge change. It had changed from the original blue-gray of a stone to a light blue color. It was so clear that it was as gorgeous as a crystal.
Feng Luo looked through the Eye of the Thunder's sniper rifle at the monster lure trap that had been placed on the sand more than 200 meters away using the Desert Stone Lizard's favorite food.
He sighed in his heart. If it weren't for 24K today, he probably would have missed out on something good.
This originally unremarkable stone that even the Federation's appraisers could not recognize had undergone a shocking change a few minutes after 24K held it in its arms and injected psionic energy into its body.
The originally hidden information was revealed, and the attributes of the stone surprised Feng Luo a little.
[Psionic Crystal]
Grade:?? Psionic Energy Content:?? Grade: Excellent
Although most of the information was in question marks, the most important name was displayed.
Psionic Crystal!
Feng Luo remembered that in 24K's attribute introduction, the system had mentioned that there was a rare mineral called the Psionic Crystal that could quickly replenish its expended psionic energy. It could even directly increase its total psionic energy. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Talk △ Net

How important was psionic energy to 24K?
To put it simply, it was like how MP was to Manipulators — indispensable!
Whether it was controlling normal beetles or laying eggs, all of 24K's skills required psionic energy to be used. Once it ran out of psionic energy, 24K would become a "toothless tiger," and its subordinates would be in complete chaos.
Feng Luo knew that this was the system's limitation on 24K's strength.
After all, as a special pet, 24K's strength was indeed a little too strong, as it could create and command all kinds of Elite, Commander, and even Boss Grade beetles, and not just one or two of them.
This kind of strength, even compared to other Boss pets, was undoubtedly too strong!
Because of this, after becoming his pet, 24K, which could originally command tens of thousands of normal beetles and fight thousands of players for a day and a night, was greatly weakened. Its psionic energy recovery speed and quantity were both limited.
Right now, 24K would exhaust all of its psionic energy if it commanded ten normal beetles to fight continuously for half an hour.
And if it commanded the Scout Beetles to scout, the psionic energy consumption would increase by a few times, and the further the distance, the greater the consumption. At its limit, it would exhaust its psionic energy in about a minute.
This was also the reason why Feng Luo had been carrying 24K to level up and was not in a hurry to cultivate too many normal beetles.
Although 24K would increase its psionic energy capacity when it leveled up, and there was even a small increase between Level 10 and Level 20, at the moment, its psionic energy was still insufficient.
As such, the "psionic crystal" that could increase its psionic energy capacity and recovery today was undoubtedly a real treasure to him!
After eating a small half of the psionic crystal, an "evolution" attribute appeared in 24K's attributes. At this time, the evolution progress was already 95% complete.
Feng Luo estimated that in a short while, he would know how much psionic energy it could increase after the evolution.
Feng Luo even vaguely felt that 24K would not only increase its psionic energy after the evolution.
It had the S-grade talent of "Devour." Although Feng Luo had fed 24K quite a few crystal cores in the past few days, none of them had triggered any attribute increases.
But this "psionic crystal" that 24K cared so much about, even though its satiety had already reached 100%, was still clinging to in its claws? Perhaps it was different from normal crystal cores?
While Feng Luo was thinking about this, there was movement in the Eye of the Thunder's sniping scope.
In the sand beside the food trap, there was a lump rising up from below.
After that, a khaki-colored lizard-like creature, whose body color was very similar to the sand, carefully poked its head out from under the sand.
This thing was the Desert Rock Lizard, one of Feng Luo's mission targets in the Withered Desert.
The habits of the Desert Rock Lizard were different from most species in the Withered Desert. Although it was also mainly active at night, it was most active in the evening.
This was because it came out to forage for food at this time to avoid most of its natural enemies, and it liked the "neither hot nor cold" temperature in the evening.
It was also because of this that Feng Luo had rushed to the Withered Desert at this time to set up a trap and wait for the rabbit!
Desert Rock Lizard. Level-35 Normal Creature. Species Code: SMS-O9887. Estimated HP: 5,000.
Distance — 87m.
Wind — 544m/s.
Humidity — 5%.
…
The Eye of the Thunder's automatic measurement function displayed all the data in real-time in Feng Luo's field of vision.
However, in this kind of environment where there was no strong wind and there were no obstructions in his field of vision, it was impossible for his marksmanship to miss even if he did not consider these factors.
The only pity was that it was actually another Normal-grade Desert Rock Lizard. The probability of it dropping the Rare material "Desert Rock Lizard Saliva Crystal" was not high.
At this time, the Desert Rock Lizard in the sniping scope had clearly already carefully probed its surroundings. It probably felt that there were no players or hostile creatures in its field of vision, so it let down its guard and crawled out from under the sand, revealing its body that was more than a meter long with a tail, and walked toward the "trap" that Feng Luo had made.
When it reached the side of the "delicacy" and was about a meter away from it, it suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a forked blue-green tongue that was almost as long as its body. In an instant, it wrapped around the food that had been used as a trap.
However, when it wanted to retract its tongue, it realized that the food could not be moved at all!
With its simple AI, of course, it could not figure out the reason for this, but there was no need to figure it out.
Because at that moment, there was a bang!
A bullet had already passed in front of its body, sticking close to the sand dune and less than a meter above the ground. It spun and flew into its open mouth with a high temperature.
The angle of Feng Luo's shot was extremely tricky, and it just happened to enter the Desert Rock Lizard's open mouth. More importantly, this bullet was wrapped in threads of electricity!
Bang!
“-1420!”
“-1084!”
“-4537!”
The 15% chance of a rare attribute burst, and the additional 1,500 points of damage in the soft mouth of the Desert Rock Lizard did not suffer any damage reduction. In addition to the Eye of the Thunder and the double armor-piercing bullet, the double damage was not bad.
With one shot, the Level-35 Desert Rock Lizard, which focused on defense, was killed by Feng Luo without any resistance. It fell beside the trap with a loud crash.
Killed Desert Rock Lizard (Level 35, Normal). Obtained Experience: 70!
Unfortunately, it was just as Feng Luo had expected.
After the Desert Rock Lizard died, it only dropped a few worthless crystal fragments. The Rare Material that he needed, the Desert Rock Lizard's Crystallized Saliva, was nowhere to be found.
As expected, this kind of Rare Material is very difficult to drop. Otherwise, those people would not have hoarded it!
Feng Luo shook his head. He did not put down the Eye of the Thunder in his hand. He only called out to 24K through the mental link.
Then, not far from the corpse of the Desert Rock Lizard, two brown scorpion-like Gatherer Beetles crawled out from under the sand. They waved their pincers and swayed as they ran toward the trap.
The Desert Rock Lizard was a very sensitive creature. It could sense the presence of its companions nearby. It was impossible to set up an ambush within 100 meters of the place where the Desert Rock Lizard had died. He had to change the location of the trap.
However, with the Gatherer Beetles around, he did not need to personally run nearly 300 meters away. He only needed to use 24K to control them to remove the trap.
The two Gatherer Beetles strode forward with their brown limbs, leaving two trails in the sand. After more than 10 seconds, they ran to the side of the trap.
However, at that moment, the sand beside the trap suddenly vibrated, and a large amount of sand shot up into the sky!
After that, a bluish-green tongue as thick as a child's arm shot out from the sand and wrapped around one of the Gatherer Beetles. Then, as fast as lightning, it dragged the beetle back into a big, fish-smelling mouth.
The mouth, which had two rows of densely packed teeth, closed, and a stream of greenish-brown blood splattered on the gold-like sand.
In the vision of Feng Luo's Eye of the Thunder, after the sand that had shot up into the sky had settled down, a Desert Rock Lizard that was more than three meters long appeared. Its body was densely packed with palm-sized earthen-yellow scales.
Desert Rock Lizard (Level 38, Solo-type Commander). Species Code: SMS-O9887. Estimated HP: 50000!
What kind of luck is this?!
I only wanted to lure an Elite monster, but I actually lured a Commander-grade big guy!
