These days, Feng Luo has never exposed 24k in front of others.
First, because most of the people participating in this mission had participated in previous cleanup missions, they all naturally recognized the seven common beetles.
Although they didn't know what 24k looked like due to the special circumstances in the final temple, many people had already guessed that there was a king insect with command ability among the beetle swarms in the ruins.
If he used other beetles besides the reconnaissance beetle in front of these people, it would be easy for them to guess that Feng Luo finally got it in the temple, and also guess the 24k grade.
Of course, it actually doesn't matter even if it is guessed, because it is not something that cannot be seen in person at all.
But for now, Feng Luo doesn't want to expose the fact that he owns pets. Instead, he plans to wait until more people have pets before revealing it, so that it won't attract attention.
Because according to the current situation, it is difficult for players to own a pet, and this kind of boss-level pet has never been heard of, and Feng Luo has not planned to make himself a topical figure.
Another point is that after the death of the elite scout beetle, he could no longer use the 24k for the time being, so he kept the 24k in the pet space and only occasionally released it to feed some energy crystals to prevent the "intimacy" from declining.
To be honest, the use of scout beetles is undoubtedly huge.
After the reconnaissance beetles were gone, and the entire Rogge Town was blocked by the Umbrella Company's communications, the players were completely in a "blackout" situation, and they inevitably felt uncertain about any decision they made.
Therefore, Feng Luo had actually always had the intention of re-hatching a "reconnaissance beetle".
However, certain conditions are required to hatch beetles. In addition to the eggs in the body of the king beetle, there also needs to be enough psionic energy to catalyze it, and most importantly: the corpse of a certain level of monster is required!
Are there monsters in Rogge Town
Maybe, there was only one zombie dog encountered before, and the level reached level 45, but the bodies of the two zombie dogs had been taken away by people from the umbrella company, and the elite reconnaissance beetle at that time was not dead either. Feng Luo never thought about hatching.
The next day, due to the full-scale outbreak of the biochemical crisis, the entire Rogge Town was in chaos. Then almost all the living things were eaten by the zombies. Now there is not even a level 1 mouse left, let alone one that meets the requirements. Monsters that meet the level requirements.
As for the huge number of zombies
Feng Luo only discovered later that king insects cannot lay eggs on the corpses of humanoids or humanoid creatures.
In other words, the zombies everywhere in Rogge Town cannot be used to hatch reconnaissance beetles, which is why Feng Luo has never had the opportunity to add a reconnaissance beetle.
Now meeting this golden python is undoubtedly luck.
Not only is it classified as a monster, but it is also level 25, which just meets the minimum hatching requirements for a scout beetle.
A certain level of monster corpse is required to hatch a certain kind of beetle (different beetles have different requirements). This is because the beetle will "eat" the monster corpse during the hatching process.
Of course, the so-called "eating" does not really mean eating all the corpses, but it is a description.
Seriously speaking, with a reconnaissance beetle no bigger than a fingernail, it would take at least ten and a half days to swallow the body of a three-meter-long golden python, not to mention whether it could be eaten. Month time, right
Therefore, the so-called "eating", to be precise, means absorbing all the essence nutrients from the golden python, which is another term, "gaining experience points".
After the eggs are hatched, the newly born beetles will receive a certain proportion of the experience points in front of the monster. This is undoubtedly a very worry-free setting for Feng Luo. There is no need to carry the small beetles for a long time to upgrade. Beetle troops can quickly form combat effectiveness.
…
An exquisite, translucent insect egg that looked like a grain of rice was injected into the body of the golden python.
Then, the insect eggs began to emit a faint golden light, and an energy named nether energy by the system began to flow into the body of the golden python, forming strange energy channels.
The entire body of the golden python also began to glow faintly, but the nutrients in it seemed to be constantly being lost. The golden scales on the body began to lose their luster, and the rattlesnake-like tail began to become sunken.
Although the Golden Python's level 25 only just meets the requirements for the hatching of the reconnaissance beetle, it is an elite monster and provides more energy and experience than ordinary monsters.
[The scout beetle is hatching, estimated time required: one hundred and eighty seconds!]
A system prompt message flashed across Feng Luo's field of vision.
The more powerful the monster corpse, the longer it takes for the eggs to absorb nutrients. The previous elite scout beetle was hatched with the help of a level 45 elite monster, which took a full ten minutes to complete.
However, one hundred and eighty seconds was definitely a long time under the current circumstances. With the people in front of them all retreating, Feng Luo would definitely not be able to wait here for three minutes.
And since he fired two shots before, he couldn't stay in this position for too long, otherwise he might be targeted by the umbrella company.
So Feng Luo chose to leave immediately after the hatching information appeared. As for the reconnaissance beetle, as soon as it hatched, it would establish a spiritual link with 24k, and it would naturally fly to his side.
"Wait a minute... Oops, I forgot one thing!"
However, just as he took a few steps toward the door with the gun in hand, Feng Luo suddenly remembered something.
If a player is infected by the T virus, they will become elite monsters after death!
He wasn't sure whether the hostile sniper player was infected just now, but even though he only looked at the front through the scope, Feng Luo had already keenly noticed that his pupils were dark red, which was different from ordinary people.
This special phenomenon may not be that simple!
With a thought in his mind, Feng Luo opened the window on the other side of the window and immediately changed the direction, quickly touching the position where he could see the body of the sniper player from a perspective.
A few seconds later, when he saw the empty ground, leaving only a pool of red and black blood and broken combat uniforms, Feng Luo knew that something went wrong as he imagined.
On the street in front of the shop, there was a line of faintly bloody footprints that looked like sharp claws, extending straight in the direction of the retreating crowd not far away.
What's more, you can hear the uncontrollable noise and panic shouting from the breakout crowd in the distance, set against the sound of various gunshots.
