Zhang Changkong watched the three golden scarab eggs shaking slightly, and the patterns on the eggs seemed to become a little dim.
The insect eggs in the Sanhe Rainforest are like animal eggs, and they are surprisingly consistent in size and birth method.
As the insect shell breaks.
Three dark beetles came out. The three beetles paused for a moment, then quickly crawled to the side of the food that Zhang Changkong specially prepared for them.
These foods include bug bodies, some plants that bugs like, and some minerals.
These insect food options are one of Miaoshan's limited achievements.
Zhang Changkong looked at the three dark beetles without showing any disappointment.
He had also seen the colorful moths and golden-stalked wasps when they were just born. It was normal for their bodies to be different when they were young.
"The aura is correct. There is a hint of wonder in the aura of the zerg that ordinary bugs don't have. It should be caused by the zerg absorbing energy from the outside world."
Zhang Changkong was very satisfied that the golden scarab army had taken a crucial first step, which would become a vital part of his power to protect the Tao.
Zhang Changkong has great confidence in his cultivation qualifications. He estimated a long time ago that with smooth sailing, he would be able to steadily step into the mage realm. With the progress of his cultivation, he would soon be able to catch up with others who have been practicing for decades. However, He has one shortcoming that has always existed, and that is the proficiency of his spells. According to his estimation, when he reaches the late stage of mage training, he may be able to have one or two spells reach the master stage, but there is not much hope for perfection.
But many of those old warlocks who have been practicing for seventy or eighty years may have a housekeeping spell that has reached the perfect stage, just like Sky Fire.
And when he reaches the late stage of Warlock training, unless he still lives in the Sanhe Rainforest where his opponents are basically bugs, his opponents are likely to be other opponents with the same level of strength as him. Even other late stage Warlocks will not be surprised. At that time, he If you have high cultivation level and low skills, even if you can't beat the late stage warlock, you may become the target of someone else's leapfrog challenge. This may be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Xiangshan Sect warlock group, which makes you arrogant. How could he bear it?
It's fine now. Not to mention whether the number of golden scarabs can be increased in the future, even if there are only three now, plus the original two zerg, if they are well cultivated, he believes that even if he cannot go sideways in the future, no one can make him bend over.
Zhang Changkong couldn't help but feel even more satisfied as he watched the three little beetles eat food far exceeding their body size.
"The biggest advantage of bug pets over wild beast pets is that they grow faster. The second is that they are easy to maintain. Bugs have a variety of diets. Bugs, even zerg, have relatively long lifespans. They can live for a year or even a few months. It will initially possess a certain degree of combat effectiveness. After raising it for seven or eight years, its combat effectiveness will not be much different, even if it is not the peak of insect life. If you give me a few wild beasts or even ferocious beast cubs, I am afraid it will not last for decades. The painstaking care may not be of much help, and the logistics pressure will be great after reaching a certain scale, so I personally feel that if I can conquer the world alone, I still have an advantage as a bug master rather than an animal trainer." .
Zhang Changkong is looking forward to the scene where the three golden scarabs will grow up in the future. By that time, "The Secret of Bones" will basically be eliminated.
Compared with the "Secret Skeleton Technique", the method of controlling insects consumes very little mana, and the three golden scarabs are definitely much more powerful than the skeleton war beasts made from the blood of the three ferocious beasts. At that time, he can The limited mana is used to use "Essential Technique of Gale Wind" and "Mastery of Earth and Stone", and "Mastery of Earth and Stone" is next. Having sufficient mana to use "Essential Technique of Gale Wind" can make him more calm when fighting, and he can attack and retreat. Guard, if you can't guard, you can still run away. It's as steady as an old dog. This is the true meaning of cultivating immortality and immortality.
As for the explosion in battle, there is no such thing. If the explosion fails and it explodes on the spot, wouldn't it be regrettable? Zhang Changkong is extremely talented and surpasses many immortal cultivators in the world. As long as he saves his life, time is his and the future is his.
Of course, if his qualifications were not so good, maybe he could "press forward bravely and diligently" and win a glimmer of hope for immortality.
The only reason to blame is that he is too qualified. Why should he work hard to get what he can get through hard work?
Zhang Changkong didn't attach much importance to temporary gains and losses. Although he was an upright young man, the passion in his heart had long since cooled down.
"Well, now that the little beetle has been successfully born, this big golden scarab can be sent to Miao Mountain to be raised. Maybe it can reproduce asexually and directly breed an army of golden scarabs for me. The last time it laid eggs was Because he was poisoned by the colorful moth, he may have thought that death was imminent, so he hurriedly left behind his offspring. After a year or two, if the golden scarab has not laid eggs yet, scaring it may have a miraculous effect. Scarabs are like this, but what about other bugs?”
Zhang Changkong considered asking people on Miao Mountain to pay attention to this when killing insects.
The insect catching team usually captures adult insects, and rarely finds eggs. Perhaps the source of eggs can be expanded based on this idea.
Zhang Changkong had just sent the incapacitated golden scarab to Miaoshan, and powerful men immediately came to deliver the message. Another insect appeared along the defense line, and the defense line was in emergency.
Zhang Changkong was helpless. The consequence of his insistence on not going to the Shiyuan River Station was that he would become a "firefighter". If something happened to that defense line, he would go anywhere.
Although this greatly affects Zhang Changkong's cultivation efficiency, he cannot be selfish after all. Of course, if the person in danger is someone like Tianhuo, Gale, or Liangu who is at odds with him, It is impossible to retaliate with kindness. If he doesn't add insult to injury, Zhang Changkong is considered kind.
Zhang Changkong encountered more bugs and became more proficient in fighting. He sat firmly on the fast-moving tusked pig. The ones that attacked were either skeletal war beasts or bugs under his command. No matter what kind of bug they were, they jumped happily. When Ban Ax comes down, he either runs away or simply lies down.
Zhang Changkong can proudly say that since he came out of the mountain, he has won every battle without ever losing. If he were more arrogant, he could have named himself "Changkong Undefeated" because he has never been defeated.
Just when Zhang Changkong thought that the insect tide would surely become his stepping stone, another half month had passed, almost two months before Old Man Tianhuo ascended to heaven.
"You mean, Hayate died while resisting the insect swarm? So suddenly."
The person in front of Zhang Changkong was none other than Zhou Yu.
"Yes, I don't know that Master Gale died in the battle, and even Shiyuanhe's 500 Iron-Blooded Squadron lost most of it. There are less than 200 people left who are capable of fighting again. If the Bone Refining Immortal Master hadn't brought the Qinghe Iron-Blooded Squadron for timely support, I am afraid that if the Ishihara River defense line is lost, the tragedy of thirty-nine years ago will happen again."
Zhou Yu said with a pale face, obviously this incident made him feel scared when he thought about it.
"When did it happen?"
"Just yesterday."
Zhang Changkong was a little surprised. It seemed that Shi Yuanhe was more terrifying than he thought, and he also had a clearer understanding of the strength of late-stage Warlock Immortal Cultivators, well, late-stage Warlock Immortal Cultivators who had mastered the full-stage killing spells.
The old man Tianhuo steadily guarded the Shiyuan River defense line until the last moment of his life. In almost a year when he was still alive, there was no mistake. In contrast, the wind with the jade talisman, the warlock in the early stage, did not make any mistakes. Within two months, he fell to the Ishihara River defense line forever.
In particular, Gale is most famous for his image of "running fast". It is said that he has a high level of practice in "The Art of Gale", but this "Gasty Runner" fell down, which was even more painful than falling down during bone refining. Zhang Changkong was surprised.
"Then what is the City Lord's Mansion thinking now? Has there been no result in asking for help from the Xiangshan Sect?"
Zhang Changkong was a little dissatisfied. On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with the ineffectiveness of Gale, a warlock whose name he didn't even know, and on the other hand, the Xiangshan Sect did not pay attention to the insect tide.
The people seeking help from the City Lord's Mansion have probably arrived at the Xiangshan Sect a long time ago. If the Xiangshan Sect pays attention and dispatches flying mages to escape from the earth, perhaps the insect tide will be resolved by now.
Zhou Yu answered some more questions from Zhang Changkong, and finally hesitantly stated the purpose of his coming here.
