Gatherer Beetle incubating. Estimated time needed: 380 seconds.
In the desert filled with battle scars, Feng Luo stood beside the corpse of the three-meter-long Desert Rock Lizard Commander, waiting for the new beetle to hatch.
】
Although they had gained a lot from this battle, they had also suffered heavy losses.
More than half of the beetle "army" that had just been formed and had yet to fully take shape had been lost. Apart from a Mutant Scout Beetle, there were only four Bladed Beetles and two Spray Beetles left.
As such, Feng Luo naturally could not waste the corpse of the Commander-grade Desert Rock Lizard Commander beside him.
As for what beetle to incubate?
Bladed Beetles, Spray Beetles, or a Steel Beetle that he had never incubated before, but whose defense was even stronger than this Desert Rock Lizard … These three types of combat beetles were undoubtedly good choices.
However, Feng Luo's final decision seemed very unexpected. He chose to use the corpse of this extremely rare Commander-grade Desert Rock Lizard to incubate a Gatherer Beetle.
The Gatherer Beetle was undoubtedly the beetle with the lowest combat power among the seven types of beetles.
To be precise, it had almost no combat power!
Apart from gathering resources, its pair of seemingly powerful pincers actually had very weak attack power. A Level-30 Gatherer Beetle might not even be a match for a Level-15 Normal monster in battle.
However, the Gatherer Beetle was the same as the Scout Beetle. It had an irreplaceable role for other beetles.
In particular, this Desert Rock Lizard was a Level-38 Commander-grade monster. Using its corpse to incubate would have a certain chance of directly incubating a Commander-grade Gatherer Beetle!
Although Commander-grade Gatherer Beetles did not have much attack power, they had an additional special ability and skill compared to Normal beetles, and they also had very high HP.
Even if they did not incubate a Commander-grade Gatherer Beetle, incubating an Elite-grade Gatherer Beetle would not be a loss.
Because Elite-grade Gatherer Beetles had the ability to fly for a short period of time, they were much stronger than Normal Gatherer Beetles!
In fact, all seven types of beetle troops.
Elite-grade and Commander-grade were stronger than Normal-grade, and they also had additional abilities or skills!
However …
Since that was the case, wouldn't it be better to use the corpse of the Desert Rock Lizard Commander to hatch a combat-type Bladed Beetle or Spray Beetle?
Actually, it wasn't that Feng Luo didn't want to hatch combat beetles.
The main problem was that 24K did not have enough Psionic Energy!
Although the psionic energy required to hatch a Bladed Beetle was 50 points on the system panel, Feng Luo realized that there was a "trap" in the system's description when he hatched the beetle for the first time.
This was because, in addition to the Basic Psionic Energy required to hatch the beetle, the process of absorbing the "nutrients" from the monster's body during the hatching process also required the consumption of Additional Psionic Energy.
Moreover, this additional psionic energy was determined by the type of beetle that was hatched, as well as the monster's level, size, combat power, and grade (Normal, Elite, Commander) before it died.
With only 50 points of basic psionic energy, a Bladed Beetle could be hatched. However, the Bladed Beetle would only be Level 1 with less than 50 HP. It had almost no combat power!
Only by spending Additional Psionic Energy could the beetle egg absorb the nutrients from the monster's body during the hatching process and obtain a higher level immediately after it was born.
For example, Feng Luo had experimented before. If a Bladed Beetle was hatched on the corpse of a Level-40 Normal Gale Wolf, it would require a total of 90 (50 + 40) Psionic Energy points, and the hatched Bladed Beetle would be (Level 20, Normal)!
If it was hatched on the corpse of a Level-40 Elite Swamp Piranha, it would require 150 (50 + 100) Psionic Energy points, and the hatched Bladed Beetle would be (Level 30, Normal). There was even a chance that the Bladed Beetle would be (Level 20, Elite)!
If it was hatched on the corpse of the Desert Rock Lizard Commander, it would require 550 (50 + 500) Psionic Energy points, and the hatched Bladed Beetle would be (Level 30, Normal). There was even a chance that it would be (Level 20, Elite)!
24K was currently Level 29, and its total psionic energy was only 490 (10 * 29 + 100 + 100).
Every time it leveled up, it would only gain 10 points of psionic energy. However, at Level 10 and Level 20, it would gain an additional 100 points each.
Based on this trend, if he wanted to use the Level-38 Desert Rock Lizard Commander to hatch the Bladed Beetle, he would have to wait until 24K reached Level 30!
Of course, since 24K had obtained a Rare Psionic Energy Crystal today, although its current "evolution" had not been completed, Feng Luo felt that once the evolution was complete, its total psionic energy would increase to a certain extent.
However, he was not prepared to wait here. Although the corpse of a Commander-grade monster was rare, it did not mean that he would not encounter one in the future.
As for a Gatherer Beetle that had the potential to reach the Commander grade, he was looking forward to it!
…
Since the Gatherer Beetle required more than six minutes to hatch, Feng Luo put away all the other beetles, leaving only 24K and a Scout Beetle outside. They stood beside the corpse of the Desert Rock Lizard Commander and waited.
At the same time, he switched his view to the Withered Desert map forum.
When players were not in combat or on special missions, they could go on the forum in the game, watch movies, or browse.
However, he was not really going on the forum for leisure; it was for the upcoming mission.
The last two mission items for Lin's mission, the fifth item, the Desert Rock Lizard's Saliva Crystal, was finally in his hands.
However, the truly troublesome item was actually the sixth item, the Desert Fire Ant Egg.
In the desert map, the most dangerous monsters were not solitary monsters like the Desert Rock Lizard. Instead, it was small, gregarious monsters that did not seem to have a high level but were extremely numerous.
The Desert Fire Ant was a gregarious monster, and it was a monster that had a huge number of people.
Although they were only Level 30, under normal circumstances, a nest would contain thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Desert Fire Ants.
Even though most of them were worker ants similar to the Gatherer Beetles, with the threat of a large number of ants biting an elephant to death, normal players would definitely not dare to provoke them.
However, for such large-scale gregarious monsters, due to their large numbers, although the experience and drop rate of a single one would not be very high.
However, with the accumulation of numbers, taking down a large-scale Desert Fire Ant nest was not much different from taking down a Quasi-Boss, or even a Boss. Therefore, the attraction for players would not be low.
As such, some Scout players would specifically look for the nests of these gregarious monsters in large-scale maps, then set their addresses as paid posts for other players to pay to view them and earn money.
This was also a way to play the game.
At this time, Feng Luo was specifically looking for such posts on the forum, and it would be best if they were new posts that had only been posted today.
"Huh?"
What surprised Feng Luo was that when he opened the floating virtual screen of the Withered Desert map forum and had yet to search for the latest posts related to the Desert Fire Ants …
He saw that a few rows at the top of the popularity list was a free post that had just been posted a few minutes ago.
[Free Desert Fire Ant Nest Address. People nearby come quickly. Battle is about to begin!]
[Coordinates (2873,4887) discovered a medium-sized Desert Fire Ant nest. Due to mission, the address is provided for free. Everyone come quickly. First come, first serve …]
"Directly announced because of mission? So generous! "
Feng Luo was a little confused. However, at least from the content of the post, it did not seem like it was fake.
In the replies below, there were already players who had arrived at the address and were calling people to go together. Moreover, there were already hundreds of replies in the post.
Although the Withered Desert was not a popular leveling spot, it could not stop the number of players in Storm City. There were a total of 15 million players. Even if only one in ten thousand came here to train, there would still be more than 10,000 people.
It was only because the Withered Desert was too big that it was difficult for players to meet each other.
"Hmm, maybe I can go take a look! With so many people here, even if I don't get the Desert Fire Ant egg, someone else should be able to get it. "
Feng Luo thought for a moment, memorized the coordinates, closed the forum, and entered it into the terminal. He found that on the 3D map, the target location was about 50 miles away from him.
"Not too far, hmm?"
However, at that moment, the Scout Beetle lying on a nearby sand dune suddenly used the "mental link" to send him a warning message through 24K.
Feng Luo raised his head and saw an energy SUV driving out from behind a tall sand dune not far away. Under the slightly darkening sky, it kicked up a cloud of yellow sand. It was travel-worn.
Most importantly, he was very familiar with the style of the car.
It was a top-end C-10 energy SUV priced at 200,000 credits. It was not easy to find a second one in a leveling area like the Withered Desert, where there were very few people!
