Chapter Fifteen: The Book of Destruction and Incubation

  Zhang Feng stared blankly at the egg, his mind a jumble of confused thoughts.

  A crazy idea began to take hold, causing Zhang Feng unbearable pain.

  This era is one where the bold get rich and the timid starve!

  Opportunities and dangers coexist.

  In that tree hole, he had gone into the left tree hole and already got such a treasure.

  Are there even any hairs left in the remaining two tree holes?

  "It's all over. I won't die, and when I come out, I'll still be a good man."

  Zhang Feng relied on his multiple skills and completely abandoned the life-threatening problem in the back of his mind to come up with this bold idea.

  After being trampled by fire ants in school, the insects have long been extinct.

  Even the two insects guarding the entrance of the tree hole became a pile of mush.

  The only pity is that the monster killed the monster without exploding equipment, at least two hundred rare shell insects were eliminated, and not even a residue was left.

  Reaching back into the tree hole, this time Zhang Feng directly entered the middle entrance.

  The entrance of the cave was icy cold, and Zhang Feng shivered as soon as he approached.

  A thin layer of ice covered the wall of the cave, a ray of light shone in and was reflected out in strong beams, making every detail of the ice cave visible.

  Zhang Feng found some ice balls on the wall of the cave, protruding from the ice layer, about the size of an eyeball, and couldn't help but throw a reconnaissance over.

  Ice Fruit: Bronze Fruit (Three Stars)

  Attributes: Food and clothing can permanently enhance ice resistance by 5 points and fire resistance by 3 points.

  Note: Each person can take a maximum of two Ice Fruits, taking more has no effect.

  Resistance?

  Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly realized that this was the first time he had seen such an attribute.

  He swallowed two ice drops without hesitation.

  A warm and smooth liquid slid into his stomach, and the coldness he felt on his body weakened a bit.

  Zhang Feng's spirit was shocked, and he suddenly understood that this was a good thing.

  At the beginning, everyone's level is low, and in order to survive, there is no opportunity to resist this attribute.

  As everyone's strength increases later on, some powerful monsters will definitely have special attribute attack methods. At that time, the effect of resistance will be shown.

  These are believed by any player who has played games, and will have such feelings in the later stage.

  Killing a boss is no longer just about having luxurious equipment, you need means that can effectively resist various negative effects.

  So Zhang Feng very rudely put all the ice fruit he saw into his ring.

  There are eight in total.

  This consumable item can be used by each person at most two times, so it is even more precious and the price may be higher than that of the bronze set.

  After receiving the ice fruit, Zhang Feng carefully proceeded forward with caution, and with the resistance from the ice fruit, he felt a slight warmth.

  Further ahead on the spacious passageway, various insect corpses are frozen in different postures within the ice layer.

  After he walked past the insect, a silver light suddenly flashed before his eyes, weaving together into words.

  "You have traversed the Nightmare Forest and entered the Sacred Insect Temple. The great insect tribe once descended upon the earth with a powerful presence, ruling for millions of years. Now the insect tribe has declined, leaving behind only the ruins of the temple and lowly insects. Honorable brave warrior, you are now stepping into the forbidden temple of the insect tribe."

  Zhang Feng's heart was trembling slightly as he found himself entering a place where he shouldn't be.

  There is no road ahead anymore.

  It doesn't look like the spacious cave of the Flame Scorpion. This is just a small cave with an area of only a dozen or so square meters, and in the center of the cave there is a three-layered altar, on top of which a beam of light shines down from a gemstone at the top of the cave.

  In the radiance, a sheet of black paper floated motionlessly in the beam of light.

  Zhang Feng subconsciously used reconnaissance, unfortunately, nothing was found out.

  This was still his first time using something that couldn't be detected by reconnaissance, and this thing was probably extraordinary.

  He quietly approached the black paper, while paying attention to the changes around him.

  If another Flame Scorpion were to appear, he wouldn't think he had the ability to escape.

  Step by step, cautiously approaching, there was no movement around.

  But in this way, Zhang Feng still did not dare to relax at all and remained cautious.

  Zhang Feng walked up to the altar, his hand slowly extending outwards. He took a deep breath and swiftly inserted his hand into the light, grabbing the black paper in one swift motion. Immediately after, he activated extreme speed movement and sprinted outwards.

  Boom!

  The entire cave shook again, and countless sharp ice teeth burst out from under the ice layer around the cave, swallowing the altar in one bite, then sinking into the ground.

  Zhang Feng had already run out of the cave at this time, only to find that the cave was actually a giant beast's open mouth, with fangs and caves merged into one, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.

  If he hadn't run so fast, he would have been swallowed by the giant beast this time.

  A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. Zhang Feng this time directly arrived at the cave on the right side, for a long time did not see anything chasing after him, only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

  It wasn't until everything around him was completely quiet that he slowly took out the black paper. On the black paper were some bright red symbols that he couldn't understand.

  The Book of Destruction - Page Twelve.

  Attributes: Strength increased by 100 points. All skills (both active and passive) have their power enhanced by 5% and cooldown time reduced by 5%.

  The book bearing destruction is the end point of origin and also the starting point of origin!

  Honorable warrior, when you hold this book, you also see the destruction ahead. Please use it with caution, for you will gain great power.

  Destruction language cannot be translated - ability locked!

  Carrying it with you will grant you the attribute bonus of the Book of Destruction.

  Zhang Feng pinched the pages of the book and fell into deep thought. His face had an uncontrollable joy, but he remembered something that seemed to have been destroyed, as if he had heard or seen it somewhere before.

  "Alright, I've seen it." Zhang Feng thought for half a day, his eyes lit up, and he flipped out the weaknesses of the insect tribe that Chen Jia had copied for him.

  Inside there is also Chen family ancestors about the origin of insect tribe birth.

  The insect tribe was born from destruction, it is after life disappears, and evolves from primitive.

  They were born of destruction and bear the responsibility of destruction. Therefore, all life except for their own kind will be consumed by them.

  Although Chen's family records only a few sentences, they mention the destruction and dispersal of the four directions, and when they reunite, it is also the day of destruction and return.

  Zhang Feng was initially puzzled when he first saw it, but now he understands.

  Destruction actually refers to the Book of Destruction, and I'm afraid it records earth-shattering events.

  Although the properties brought by this page are not strong, it is just one page.

  Zhang Feng believed that if he could obtain all the pages, they would unlock their sealed properties like a set.

  The destructive language within

  Yes, I'll pay attention to this aspect from now on.

  Just as Zhang Feng was about to put away the black paper, he felt a fluctuation in the ring.

  Then Zhang Feng controlled his consciousness into it, and the Flame Scorpion Egg was taken out.

  The egg was taken out and immediately began to shake non-stop, as if it wanted to break free from Zhang Feng's palm and pounce on the pages of the book.

  Zhang Feng brought the egg closer to the book page, and to his surprise, a joyful chirp came from inside the egg, which began to greedily absorb the black light on the book page.

  Next, the hatching progress of the egg began to increase like a progress bar from 95% to 95.1%.

  "The insect tribe was born in destruction, and destruction is also their energy." Zhang Feng suddenly understood what was going on.

  I was worried if I should really put the egg into the fire to hatch it or not, now it seems that this trouble has been avoided.

  The dark glow on the page of destruction was like a bottomless pit, causing the egg's hatching progress to constantly increase. After three long hours, the progress finally reached 100%.

  "Crack!" A faint crack appeared on the egg's surface, and then a small, transparent scorpion, only as big as a palm, crawled out from inside.

  Zhang Feng immediately thought of the instructions on the pet egg, which required a drop of blood.

  He bit his finger without hesitation and dripped a dozen or so drops of fresh blood onto the little scorpion's head and body.

  At this time, Zhang Feng felt as if there was a connection between his mind and the little scorpion.

  Red Venomous Flame Scorpion - Juvenile Stage (Growing Pet)

  Grade: First

  Growth attributes: 2.13.

  Passive Skill - Insect Intimidation, applies 100% intimidation to insects of the same level, making them unable to move, attack or change state. For insects one level higher than itself, the effect is reduced by 50%, weakening their abilities by 50%. For insects two levels higher than itself, intimidation has no effect.

  Active Skill - Scarlet Flame Pillar, with flames produced by itself through the scorpion tail spray, effective distance is ten times the body size. Scarlet Flame Pillar comes with fire poison effect, the attacked will be burned by fire poison, requiring fire resistance to resist.

  Zhang Feng finally understood why all the other insects didn't even dare to move in front of that big scorpion, it was because of its intimidating aura.

  As for the fire poison of the Red Flame Pillar, it requires fire resistance to withstand. It has been proven that I was right when I guessed it when I got the Ice Fruit. In the future, this type of special life will require different resistances to withstand.

  The little scorpion was bathed in blood, and it seemed to be very comfortable lying still on the eggshell. Its transparent body absorbed the blood, first turning from transparent to red, and gradually its entire body was covered with a layer of shiny black shell.

  This is just a miniature version of that flame scorpion, small and cute, waiting for the last drop of blood to be absorbed from its body, it shook its body and started eating its own eggshell.

  The little guy's appetite is absolutely not small, and the watermelon-sized eggshell was eaten clean by it.

  Then he stared blankly at his own two paws, then turned around to look at Zhang Feng, with a puzzled expression blinking in his small eyes.

  It seems like Zhang Feng is asking why I still haven't grown taller?

  Although Zhang Feng did not know whether scorpions were born from eggs or ate their own eggshells for their first meal.

  However, such a humanized action made Zhang Feng involuntarily smile. Through spiritual connection, he understood the little guy's meaning and couldn't help but laugh: "That has grown so fast, growing up is a gradual process. Hmm, no, this problem lies with me."

  Zhang Feng suddenly let out a bitter laugh, looking at the little guy with a shrug: "I currently have a character quest on my body, not to mention you, even I can't level up. You'll probably have to wait."

  The little guy looked dazed and blinked his small eyes again, then ate the last bit of shell residue.

  Zhang Feng touched the little guy's back, although this scorpion was still small, but its back already had some small protrusions, estimated to be future reverse spikes.

  "Let's go, the last cave, I wonder what's inside?" Zhang Feng let the scorpion climb onto his shoulder and stood up, walking towards the depths of this last cave.
