[Collecting beetles are hatching, estimated time required: 380 seconds]
In a desert full of traces of the battle, Feng Luo stood next to the corpse of the three-meter-long Desert Skin Lizard leader, waiting for new beetles to hatch. [△网WwW.]
Although the gains from this battle were huge, the losses were also heavy.
The beetle "army" that had just been formed and was not fully formed yet was directly destroyed by more than half. Except for a mutated scout beetle, there were only four blade beetles and two jet beetles left.
Therefore, facing the body of the commander-level Desert Skin Lizard next to him, Feng Luo naturally couldn't waste it.
As for what beetles to hatch
Blade beetles, jet beetles, or a steel beetle that has never hatched but has a defense even stronger than this desert skin lizard... There is no doubt that these three combat beetles are very good choices.
However, Feng Luo's final decision seemed very unexpected. He chose to use the body of a very rare leader-level desert skin lizard to hatch a gathering beetle.
Gathering beetles are undoubtedly the beetles with the lowest combat effectiveness among the seven species of beetles.
To be precise, it has almost no combat effectiveness!
In addition to gathering resources, its pair of seemingly powerful pincers actually have very weak attack power. A level 30 gathering beetle may not be a match for a level 15 ordinary monster in combat.
However, gathering beetles, like scout beetles, have an irreplaceable role that other beetles cannot replace.
In particular, this desert rock lizard is a level 38 leader monster. Using its corpse to hatch will have a certain chance of directly hatching a leader level gathering beetle!
Although the leader-level gathering beetle also does not have much attack power, it has one more special ability and skill than ordinary beetles, and it also has a very high blood volume.
Even if a leader-level gathering beetle is not hatched, but an elite-level gathering beetle is hatched, it will not be a big loss.
Because elite-level gathering beetles have the ability to fly briefly, they are much stronger than ordinary gathering beetles!
In fact, all seven Beetle classes.
Elite level and leader level are more powerful than ordinary level, and also have additional abilities or skills!
but…
In this case, wouldn't it be better to use the corpse of the Desert Skin Lizard leader to hatch a combat-type "Blade Beetle" or "Jet Beetle"
Actually, it wasn't that Feng Luo didn't want to hatch battle beetles.
Mainly because of a common problem, the total amount of 24K psionic energy is not enough!
Although, on the system panel, the psionic energy value required to hatch a blade beetle was "50 points," but when the beetle was actually hatched for the first time, Feng Luo discovered that the system actually had a "trap" in the description.
Because, in addition to the [Basic Psionic Energy] needed to hatch the beetle itself, the process of absorbing the "nutrients" from the monster's body during the hatching process also requires the consumption of [Additional Psionic Energy].
Moreover, this additional psionic energy is determined by the type of hatched beetle, as well as the monster's level, size, combat power, and grade (ordinary, elite, leader) before death... and other factors.
Spending only 50 points of basic psionic energy, you can indeed hatch a blade beetle, but the blade beetle hatched in this way is only level 1, has only 50 HP points, and has almost no combat effectiveness!
Only by spending extra psionic energy can the eggs absorb the nutrients from the monster's body during the hatching process, and gain a higher level directly after birth.
For example, Feng Luo has tested that if a blade beetle hatches on the corpse of a level 40 ordinary wind wolf, it will cost a total of 90 (50+40) psionic energy points, and it will be hatched directly (level 20·ordinary)!
And if it is hatched from a level 40 elite swamp piranha, it will cost 150 (50+100) psionic energy points, and the hatched one will be directly (level 30·normal), and there is even a certain chance of being directly (Level 20·Elite)!
If it were hatched on the corpse of the Desert Skin Lizard leader, it would consume a full 550 points (50+500) of psionic energy, which directly exceeded the current upper limit of 24K psionic energy.
24K is now level 29, and the total amount of psionic energy is only 490 points (10*29+100+100).
Because it only adds 10 points of psionic energy each time it is upgraded, but at level 10 and level 20, it increases by an additional 100 points each.
According to this trend, if you want to use this level 38 Desert Skin Lizard to lead the hatching blade beetles, you need to wait at least until 24K reaches level 30!
Of course, since he got a rare psionic crystal today, although 24K's current "evolution" has not been completely completed yet, Feng Luo feels that once the evolution is completed, the total amount of psionic energy should increase to a certain extent.
However, he was not prepared to wait here, because although there were few corpses of the leader monster, they were not impossible to encounter in the future.
As for a gathering beetle that might reach the leader level, he was quite looking forward to it!
…
Since it took more than six minutes for the gathering beetles to hatch, Feng Luo put away all the other beetles, leaving only 24K and a scout beetle outside, waiting next to the corpse of the Desert Skin Lizard leader.
At the same time, he switched his perspective to the map forum of the Withered Desert.
Players can go to forums, watch movies or browse in the game when there are no battles or special tasks.
However, he is not really on the forum for leisure now, but for the next task.
The last two mission items in Lin's mission, the fifth "Desert Skin Lizard's Saliva Crystals" were finally obtained.
But the real trouble is actually the sixth item - "desert fire ant eggs".
In the desert map, the most dangerous thing is not the lone monster like the Desert Skin Lizard, but some small group monsters that seem to be of low level but are extremely numerous.
Desert fire ants are a kind of social monster, and they are a very large number of monsters.
Although the level is only 30, under normal circumstances, there are thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of desert fire ants in a nest.
Even though most of them are worker ants that are not very powerful, similar to beetle collectors, a small number of players would never dare to provoke them under the threat of the ants killing elephants.
However, for large group monsters like this, because the number is large enough, although the individual experience and explosion rate are not very high.
However, with the accumulation of numbers, laying down a large desert fire ant nest is not even much worse than fighting a quasi-BOSS, or even the rewards obtained by the BOSS, so the attraction to players will not be low.
Therefore, some scout players will specifically find the lair of this kind of social monster in large maps, and then set its address as a paid post for other players to pay to view it and make money from it.
This is also a way of playing the game.
At this time, Feng Luo went to the forum specifically to look for this kind of post, and it was best if it was a new post that was published today.
"Huh?"
What surprised Feng Luo was that when he opened the floating virtual screen of the Withered Desert Area Map Forum, he had not yet searched for the latest posts related to desert fire ants.
However, I saw that among the most popular posts in the front rows, there was one who just posted a free post a few minutes ago.
[The address of the desert fire ant nest is provided for free. If you are nearby, come quickly, the fight will begin soon!]
"At the coordinates (2873, 4887), a medium-sized desert fire ant nest was found. Due to the mission, the address is provided for free. Everyone, come quickly, first come first served..."
"Announce it directly because of the mission? So generous!"
Feng Luo was a little confused, but at least judging from the content of the poster, it didn't seem like he was cheating.
Because in the replies below, there are already players who have arrived at the address and are asking people to come with them, and there are already hundreds of replies in the post.
Although the Withered Desert is not a popular leveling spot, it cannot stop the large number of players in Stormwind City. There are 15 million players. Even if only one ten thousandth of the players come here to level up, there are more than 10,000 players.
It's just because the Blight Desert is so big that it's difficult for players to meet each other.
"Well, maybe you can take a look! With so many people, even if you don't catch the desert fire ant eggs, someone else should get them."
Feng Luo thought for a while, closed the forum under the coordinate mark and entered it in the terminal. He found that the target point displayed on the three-dimensional map was about fifty miles away from him.
"Not too far, huh?"
However, at this time, the scout beetle lying on the nearby sand dune suddenly sent a warning signal to him through 24K using a "spiritual link".
Feng Luo raised his head and saw an energy off-road vehicle driving out from behind a tall sand dune not far away, rolling up yellow sand and dust all over the sky under the already darkening sky.
The most important thing is that the style of this car is very familiar to him.
The top-of-the-range C-10 energy off-road vehicle priced at 200,000 credits is not easy to encounter in a leveling area with few people like the Blight Desert!
Six male and female players were sitting in an energy off-road vehicle with a temperature adjustment function. Almost at the same time that Feng Luo saw them, he also noticed Feng Luo, who was standing alone next to the bullet-riddled corpse of the Desert Skin Lizard Commander. (To be continued.)
