Volume 2 Tales of the Night Chapter 56 Scarab Beetle
What exactly are they digging for? Bai Ye remained silent, silently observing in the dark.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a cold fluctuation sweeping towards this side from the rat group, Bai Ye was startled, and immediately shrunk into a ball, and used the energy of the shadow to cover his spiritual space, and the whole person was completely integrated with the darkness.
When that fluctuation swept through Bai Ye's body, Bai Ye felt as if his whole body was drenched in ice water, and his whole body was cold. Fortunately, although the master who sent out the fluctuation had strong mental power, he still couldn't tell the difference between the shadow and the darkness, and he didn't notice the disguise of the white night. On the contrary, through the highly developed visual system, Bai Ye accurately found the owner of this spiritual fluctuation in the dark.
It turned out to be a giant rat too!
However, this giant rat is very different, although it is mixed in with the rats, its every move is different from the others. It crouched silently on the ground, its small eyes constantly roaming back and forth among the rats, as if looking for something. Occasionally, it would show a thoughtful expression, and Bai Ye never thought that such a humane expression could appear on the body of a mouse!
This giant rat has an ordinary stature, and if it is not deliberately observed, it is really not easy to find, but since Bai Ye has discovered it, he immediately discovered its specialness. In the entire group of rats, except for this special giant rat, dozens of giant rats around it are also shuttling back and forth, but their movements have always circled around it, and they have never participated in digging rock walls. And these giant rats are the strongest ones in the rat colony, and there are as many as a dozen poisonous rats among them.
They're guarding the giant rat!
The inconspicuous-looking giant rat was actually the king of the rat colony. And judging from its ability to probe the surroundings with its spiritual power just now, this rat king's spiritual power is very strong, maybe it is relying on its terrifying spiritual power to control the actions of the rat swarm.
White Night became more curious about the group of giant rats, so he waited patiently to see what the group of giant rats were digging.
Soon, two hours passed, and during that time, from the other side of the cave, dozens of giant rats brought food in from outside the cave once! The food consisted of the carcasses of various animals and living corpses, which were swarmed by thousands of giant rats, gnawing not even the bones left, and the rat king did not participate in the eating, still anxiously observing the progress of the excavation.
Suddenly, a giant rat let out an extremely shrill squeak, and the sound revealed a high degree of excitement. In front of it, a rock was shattered, and in the crevice of the rock, a palm-sized purple-black crystal hung from it. The crystal was semi-oval on one side, and very smooth on the other, clinging to the rock wall.
The giant rat that found the crystal jumped up, bit the crystal in its mouth, and after landing on the ground, all the giant rats around spontaneously retreated backwards, making way for it, and it took the crystal in its mouth and ran to the side of the rat king.
Running and running, the giant rat suddenly let out a terrible cry of pain, only to see that the crystal in its mouth actually came to life, the crystal cracked, and stretched out the membranous wings and arthropods from it, and the head opened its mouthparts, and bit the jaw of the giant rat, and the sharp mouthparts bit through the jaw of the giant rat at once, and the blood flowed all over the ground. What kind of crystal is this, it is clearly a huge purple-black beetle!
When Bai Ye saw this beetle, he almost couldn't control his shouting. The moment he saw the beetle, Bai Ye, who had always been calm and composed, also felt a dry mouth, and there was only one thought in his mind, these rats must be completely cleared, and this rock wall and the vast underground behind the rock wall must be controlled in his own hands!
He knew this beetle, it was a magic crystallized scarab!
Scarab beetles are a special kind of life that originates from the Terterogeneous Plane, they do not need to eat organic food, but live by directly eating magic energy crystals and absorbing the magic energy within the crystals. Scarabs have a very long lifespan, and every time they eat a large amount of magic energy crystals, they will fall into a deep sleep, often for several years, and then eat again after waking up, and so on. Due to the large amount of eating magical energy, their bodies have produced a terrifying accumulation of magical energy, so that it condenses into crystals, and it looks like a crystal gem. This kind of condensation crystal is completely different from the magic energy crystal, the magic energy crystal is just an ore with rich magic energy, and the crystallized scarab crystal is pure solid magic energy!
The scarab beetle is a priceless treasure to the evolutionary. It has a variety of functions, the most famous of which is that it is melted and eaten directly by special means. After ingesting the scarab solution, the evolutionary will produce magical energy crystals in the brain, which greatly expands the space of spiritual power, so that the spiritual power can get a terrifying boost. Flesh evolutionaries like Ji Yunfei and Macron will more than double their spiritual power, and spiritual power evolutionaries like Feng Hua and Yuan Shuai can also increase their spiritual power by more than one-third.
And this boost is not fixed, it can be boosted again as you progress, so the sooner you consume it, the better. For example, if a first-order evolutionary's current spiritual power is 1, then once he advances to the second order, his spiritual power will increase by three times to 3. After eating the scarab beetle at the first order, his mental power will increase to 1.8, and when he advances to the second order, his mental power will increase by three times to 5.4. And if he only eats this scarab beetle when he is in the second order, he can only increase his spiritual power by 0.8 units, becoming 3.8. Therefore, the scarab beetle's promotion to the first-order evolutionary can be said to be the greatest!
Although the scarab beetle has a huge boost to the evolutionary, it cannot be eaten without moderation. Because once you eat too much and exceed the ascension limit, the entire brain of the evolutionary will crystallize, and in the reverse case, the evolutionary will become a vegetative person. Generally speaking, first-order evolutionaries can only eat one scarab beetle, and if they want to continue to eat it, they must wait until the second order and the brain evolves again before they can eat more scarabs.
In addition to increasing mental power, carrying the scarab beetle close to one's body can also increase the recovery speed of mental power, which is very important for the evolutionary's ability to continue fighting.
The last huge function of the scarab beetle is that it can be used on the magic crystal power device, for example, the magic crystal firearm made of the scarab beetle as a material, its power is much stronger than the ordinary magic crystal firearm, if the whole scarab beetle is used as the material of a firearm, the power of this magic crystal gun can even be compared to the magic weapon strengthened with the fusion stone!
And don't forget, this magic crystal firearm can continue to be strengthened with the Fusion Stone, and the ability of the strengthened magic weapon is magical, which can be completely compared to the evolutionary of the same level itself. In her previous life, Ye Fengming had such a weapon, which was a magic crystal pistol that she had strengthened to the third order, relying on this pistol, she was almost invincible in the same rank, even against the evolutionaries of the higher order, she also had the power to fight.
Although the value of the scarab beetle is high, it does not make Bai Ye so moved, the problem is that although the number of scarab beetles is small, it is also infested in groups, and there is a scarab here, which means that there are other scarabs sleeping in the rock wall, and under normal circumstances, a group of scarabs will have at least thirty or more!
And more importantly, there are scarab beetles infested, which means that there is a magic crystal vein hidden near this underground! This is the reason why Bai Ye was surprised and moved, this is an incomparably huge wealth. In the New World, this wealth is not even under the control of a single city settlement, and it is completely possible for two human kingdoms to wage war over it.
Although even without this discovery, Bai Ye can find other magic energy crystal veins, after all, he has the advantage of foresight, the eight years of the last days are not in vain, and the final destination of this trip is actually a magic energy crystal mine. But wealth is always too much, and since Bai Ye has seen it, it is inevitable!
So Bai Ye looked at the Rat King's gaze, and he was immediately full of killing intent!
The giant rat holding the scarab beetle didn't care about the scarab's bite at all, and still bit the scarab beetle firmly, its terrifying bite force could not bite through the scarab's amethyst-like beetle, but it could bite it firmly, so that it could not get out.
It wasn't until it rushed to the rat king's side that it spat the scarab on the ground and jumped to the side on its own, letting out a sharp cry of pain.
As soon as the scarab beetle landed, it drilled into the ground, and the hard rocky ground was like soft soil in front of the scarab's mouthparts and arthropods, and it was easily dug up, but the rat king suddenly glared at the beetle, and a spiritual power fluctuation like a substance hit the beetle, and the beetle immediately writhed in extreme pain, and then quickly convulsed and did not move.
The rat king jumped in front of the beetle, picked up the scarab beetle with his two front paws, looked at it carefully, and then the fierce man stood up, and in its abdomen, a small bag like a kangaroo was born, and it threw the scarab into the bag, and then squeaked a few times with satisfaction.
Just as it was about to lean over, a black laser burst out from the tunnel in the distance, and it was in front of it in an instant! White Night has launched a surprise attack on it!
Shocked, the two small eyes of the Rat King bloomed with dazzling red light, and in the vast space with it as the origin, the flow of energy stopped instantly, and even the shadow rays were imprisoned in mid-air! This guy can actually use his spiritual power to imprison energy fluctuations!
However, the Shadow Ray was no ordinary energy fluctuation, and the Rat King tried his best, but only briefly imprisoned it for a short moment. This momentary pause didn't even make it have time to hide to the side, but for the rat king, this moment was enough for it to get out, only to see countless giant rats in front of it, frantically pounced on the shadow ray, one after another, not caring about its own death, and actually piled up this shadow ray with a huge number!
Twenty or thirty giant rats were wrenched into a lump of flesh under the Shadow Ray, and the Shadow Ray was finally blocked in front of these flesh shields, and the Rat King quickly pounced on the other side, countless giant rats poured up from all sides, and it only took a few seconds for the Rat King to disappear in the tide of rats, so that the attackers could no longer find its traces.
But at this moment, the Rat King was horrified to find that a human appeared in front of him!
When did he come in?
This was the last thought of the Rat King, and in the next moment, the Rat King didn't even see the human attack clearly, and he was beheaded with a knife!
