"Brother Feng?"
Apart from the two Silvermoon City casual players who had retreated to the side and were on guard, the others did not care about the weapons on the ground.
The others did not pay much attention to the weapons on the ground. Instead, they looked at Feng Luo.
"I'm sorry for the trouble."
Feng Luo's expression had returned to normal, and he smiled apologetically.
Ghost Weep, which had killed a few people in the head during the battle to prevent them from mutating into Elite infected monsters, was put back into his tactical vest.
"Big Brother Feng, you're treating me like an outsider. That guy's arrogance from before made me want to finish him off.
However, without them, it's probably impossible for us to finish off this Giant Octopus. Why don't we retreat to the VIP area and defend it? We've successfully contacted Boss Dan Hen and the others before, and he said that he'd be able to come quickly. "
Skynet looked at the pitch-black main building of the hotel, which seemed to be hiding a fatal crisis, and said with a serious expression.
"No, this Commander monster probably won't give us that much time," Feng Luo said. "Plus, they won't be able to get on the platform and participate in the battle."
Feng Luo shook his head and used the Eye of the Thunder's scope to observe that there was no movement in the opposite hole.
He did not regret his decision to kill the four Scout players. His previous actions were not completely an impulsive decision.
It was important to know that the Scout profession played a big role in a team, but if he wanted to cause trouble, it was very easy for him to secretly mess with others.
Among everyone, he was the only one who could get the exact HP of a Commander monster and some of its skills (not all of them).
Since the conflict had reached an irreconcilable level, this Scout clearly could no longer cooperate with them.
So the best choice was to get rid of the unstable factors in advance. Otherwise, the upcoming battle would be affected.
Yes, the upcoming battle.
Without these four people, it was impossible for the people on the platform to deal with the Octopus Commander. But what if they added the "pet"?
…
"Squeak, squeak!"
A white light flashed in front of him, and 24K, which looked like gold, flapped its wings and landed on the shoulder of his SUV top combat uniform.
"Pet?"
Everyone stared curiously at 24K on Feng Luo's shoulder, looking doubtful.
They were curious about Feng Luo's sudden summoning of a pet.
It should be noted that due to the strong infection ability of the T-virus.
Even most pets were not spared. Many players' pets went crazy after being infected. Then, they broke away from the players' control and attacked their owners. Some were even directly judged as "dead" by the system.
In War, the death penalty for pets was quite severe, and the resurrection cost quite a lot of credits.
Therefore, in such an environment where one could easily die, although the people present had pets, they did not release them.
Moreover, normal pets were not very useful against the Giant Octopus Commander.
"Ah! Big Brother Feng, why did you let 24K out? Aren't you afraid it'll be infected? "
On the other hand, Azure's eyes were filled with joy. Yesterday in the Withered Desert, the gold-like 24K had already won the hearts of the three female players.
"It's time for it to contribute. It ate so many Credits worth of crystals."
Feng Luo smiled. After that, he ordered 24K, who was expressing affection to him through the mental link, to open the wormhole.
The reason Feng Luo did not summon 24K to participate in the battle earlier was not because he was deliberately hiding it. In fact, it was because 24K was really not suited for battle at this time.
In the battle with the Black Beetle Commander, 24K had used up all of its Psionic Energy.
Fortunately, it had increased in level and recovered some of its Psionic Energy during this buffer period. However, its Psionic Energy was still less than one-third of its original amount.
However, this was not the real problem. The real problem that affected 24K's combat power was the condition of the beetle troops.
In the previous battle, almost all of the combat beetle troops that Feng Luo had accumulated over a long period of time had been used on the battlefield. Although they had won in the end, not many were left.
Moreover, even the remaining beetle troops had more or less broken limbs, their carapaces were shattered, and most of their HP was in a highly critical state.
The recovery rate of normal beetle troops was not as fast as that of players.
In fact, after a beetle troop was recalled into the wormhole, it would take at least a day for it to recover all of its HP. If it had a broken limb, tail, or other disability, it would take a few days for it to regrow and recover its full combat power.
Therefore, these beetle troops were not suitable for battle at all. Especially against a Level-50 Giant Octopus Commander. If they were not careful, the casualty rate would be absolutely terrifying.
Previously, Feng Luo had been tolerating the few people from North City for this reason. It was because he did not want to let the precious beetle troops be used here.
In other words, this was also a trump card in his hand. It was a trump card to protect Old John and the others from breaking through the encirclement on the ground. It was a trump card that he was prepared to use when he needed to break through a large number of zombies.
However, this Scout player was too "confident" and arrogant. In addition, in order not to be stabbed in the back, Feng Luo was not prepared to let him live.
Another point was that these remaining Spray, Steel, and Bladed beetles were almost all Elite-Grade beetles.
It was fine if normal beetles died, but the Elite-Grade beetles would be wasted.
It was important to know that Elite-Grade beetles were not easy to cultivate. To hatch an Elite-Grade beetle, first of all, the body of at least an Elite-Grade monster was required. At the same time, compared to normal beetles, it would consume more Psionic Energy.
In theory, if 24K used up its Psionic Energy recovery every day, it would only be able to lay eggs on the bodies of five Level-40 and above Elite-Grade monsters.
The key was that this did not guarantee that the hatched beetles would definitely be Elite-Grade. In most cases, the hatched beetles would only be higher-leveled Normal beetles.
Feng Luo had even calculated that trying to hatch an Elite-Grade beetle was not a cost-effective thing to do.
If he used the Psionic Energy to hatch Normal beetles, the Psionic Energy in a day could guarantee the hatching of at least a dozen beetles, allowing the "beetle army" to quickly form.
However, Feng Luo still had to do something as uncost-effective as this.
This was not only because the combat power of Elite beetles was a lot stronger than Normal beetles. At the same time, it was not just about laying eggs and hatching. During the process of commanding the battle through the "Mental Link," it would also consume 24K's Psionic Energy.
This was also why, under normal circumstances, Feng Luo would not send out all of his combat beetles.
The more beetles summoned through the "wormhole," the more Psionic Energy consumed per unit of time through the Mental Link. At the same time, maintaining the wormhole also required a continuous consumption of Psionic Energy. The more beetles on the battlefield, the longer the wormhole would last.
As for the Psionic Energy consumed by an Elite beetle and a Normal beetle during battle, there was not much difference.
This meant that Feng Luo had to take the Elite route. After all, the combat power of 20 Normal beetles and 20 Elite beetles were incomparable.
"This is clearly one of the hidden limitations of the system."
"However, if I can get more Psionic Energy Crystals, I might be able to speed up the hatching speed of the Elite team. Moreover, 24K's evolution this time should at least increase its Psionic Energy, right? "
Feng Luo glanced at 24K's status. It was still "Evolving." He did not know when the evolution would be completed, and whether it would obtain new skills like the last time.
"Squeak, squeak!"
As Feng Luo was thinking about this, 24K had already understood his intentions through the Mental Link. It quickly opened the "wormhole" beside everyone.
Feng Luo did not plan to let it open the wormhole near the high-altitude passageway. If it was too close, the Giant Octopus Commander might just sweep all of them off the platform with one of its tentacles or directly crush them to death.
After all, the remaining HP of these beetles was not high.
"Ah!"
"What is this?"
"There's a situation!"
However, as soon as the black wormhole appeared, it caused a panic on the platform.
In particular, Azure, who had just received a Rare-grade healing pistol from the spoils of war and was preparing a potion injection bullet that only Doctors could use, could not help but scream.
"Don't panic, this is a summoned creature of my pet."
Feng Luo's voice stopped everyone's shock and the weapons that were already aimed at the position of the black hole.
At that moment, the first Elite beetle had already crawled out of the wormhole.
