Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 915 - 361: A Large Number of Insect Eggs_2
After securing the night demon heart, Wang Tao had Lightning and Blacky on guard while he checked the loot.
The focus was on those Night Demon Parasite Bug Eggs, such marvelous items! For Wang Tao, they were practically experience packs delivered to his doorstep!
[Obtained: Level 4 Night Demon Parasite (Insect Eggs) x150]
[Obtained: Level 5 Night Demon Parasite (Insect Eggs) x37]
[Obtained: Level 6 Night Demon Parasite (Insect Eggs) x5]
Looking at the hundred-plus parasite eggs, Wang Tao nodded with great satisfaction.
"Right, I still have some Level 5 Bug Eggs in hand..."
Wang Tao glanced at his Space Backpack. He had previously obtained Level 4 and Level 5 bug eggs; the Level 4 ones had been used up, but he hadn’t yet used the Level 5 ones, and there were still 13 left. Adding these 13 bug eggs, he had exactly 50 Level 5 bug eggs!
"150 Level 4 bug eggs, 50 Level 5 bug eggs, 5 Level 6 bug eggs... quite the pattern!"
Wang Tao promptly skipped over the Level 6 bug eggs, storing them in the Space Backpack for future use.

Right now, killing a Level 5 Lord Night Demon required his full effort, let alone dealing with a Level 6 Night Demon—that would be outright seeking death.
As for those Level 4 and Level 5 parasites... Wang Tao looked at the Incubation Flesh nearby and immediately broke into a grin.
"We can’t waste all this Incubation Flesh. Let’s go outside and capture some zombies to see if we can hatch all these eggs!"
After resting for a while, Wang Tao and the others went out, roaming around for a bit.
Fortunately, they encountered a sizable horde of wandering zombies, about two to three hundred strong.
Wang Tao and his companions immediately charged into the zombie horde and, just like before, hacked the zombies until only their heads remained, then loaded the heads into a vehicle and brought them back to the Night Demon’s Nest.
Then, Wang Tao took a Level 5 parasite egg, stuffed it into a zombie head, and tossed the head onto a piece of Incubation Flesh. The Incubation Flesh began to writhe immediately, engulfing the head.
However, after the Incubation Flesh swallowed the zombie head, there was no reaction for quite some time. If it had been a Level 4 egg, a Night Demon would’ve appeared by now.
"Could it be that Level 5 Night Demons can’t be hatched?"
Wang Tao frowned momentarily but didn’t panic. He decided to wait and see what would happen while checking the loot.
The loot from the matrix night demon was similar to that of the Level 5 Lord Night Demon. It consisted of Crystal Cores, Potions, materials, hearts, Ultraviolet Suits, Awakening Energy Pearls, Blueprints, and the like.
Among these items, there was an additional Crystal Core branded with "Bloodline Inheritance."
[Level 5 Crystal Core - Bloodline Inheritance]
[Quality: 100% (Epic)]
[Purity: 30% (Side effects: None)]
[Bloodline Inheritance: Can transfer a portion of one’s own strength to others, not exceeding one’s own strength limit (one’s own strength won’t permanently decrease, but it requires some time to recover strength)]
Wang Tao also had two Crystal Cores with Bloodline Inheritance, but one was Level 3 and the other Level 4, both obtained from killing a matrix zombie.
This seemed like a valuable support Ability. If used in conjunction with an Extraction Crystal Core, it might yield extraordinary results—for instance, after Wang Tao fused with it, he could transfer his strength to someone else and then use an Extraction Crystal Core to remove the Crystal Core, saving storage space.
It just wasn’t clear what exactly "strength" referred to; that could be tested when the chance arose...
Then there was the Night Demon Heart. The matrix night demon likewise dropped a Level 5 heart!
[Obtained: Level 5 Weapon, Night Demon Type II x1]
Wang Tao now had two Level 5 night demon hearts!
He couldn’t immediately enhance these two Night Demon Type IIs to their peak prowess, but they were definitely stronger than many Fourth-order Superpowers. He was looking forward to seeing how they would perform with 200,000 HP each—truly at Level 5 strength, likely unstoppable. Tao was earnestly anticipating their performance at 200,000 HP!
Last were the blueprints; the matrix night demon only dropped a blueprint for a Level 5 Night Demon Dagger, which could produce two daggers.
Seeing that there was still no activity from the Incubation Flesh, Wang Tao went ahead and crafted the daggers.
[Night Demon Blade]
[Fifth-Order (Epic)]
[Durability+100, Attack power+90, Attack Speed+50%, Ability: Not Inlaid (requires Awakening Energy to activate)]
Compared to the Night Demon short knife that Wang Tao had just made, the dagger’s attack power was 10 points lower, but its attack speed was 10% higher!
None of the others used daggers, only Jiang Shixue did. Therefore, Wang Tao gave both daggers to Jiang Shixue.
"Thank you, bro~"
Jiang Shixue happily accepted them.
Wang Tao smiled and then thought to himself that when he got back, he needed to inlay the equipment that should be inlaid.
He had a lot of equipment that could be inlaid with Crystal Cores, but he had never inlaid any of them. He always wanted to find some of the best Crystal Cores to inlay, but with Crystal Cores, there was never a "best," only "better," and if he kept waiting, he would just keep waiting.
If he truly waited until he found suitable ones, his equipment might be several generations behind by then.
So there was no point in waiting. When he got back, he would try to see the effects of inlaying the Crystal Cores into the equipment.
After all, he had a lot of equipment that neither he nor his companions could use. He would start by experimenting with those since once a Crystal Core was inlaid, it couldn’t be removed...
"Bro! Something’s happening!"
Jiang Shixue suddenly shouted.
The group hurriedly looked in the direction of the noise and saw a Night Demon slowly crawling out from the Incubation Flesh where Wang Tao had thrown the Level 5 Bug Eggs.
They were in luck, it was a Level 5 Lord Night Demon!
[HP: 100000/100000]
[Mana: 100000/100000]
[Grade: Level 5 - Lord]
[Awakening: Robust]
It only had 100,000 HP, obviously not as much as the Level 5 Lord Night Demon with 200,000 HP that Wang Tao had killed before.
But whether it was strong or weak didn’t matter. As long as it was a Level 5 Lord, the spoils Wang Tao received were basically the same.
"Attack!"
Taking advantage of the Night Demon’s disorientation, Wang Tao and his companions rushed forward.
If it had underlings, dealing with this Level 5 Lord Night Demon would definitely have been a bit troublesome. But since it didn’t have any and they had set up a lot of Ultraviolet Suits around, plus Wang Tao and his companions went all out from the start... this newly born Level 5 Lord Night Demon couldn’t hold on for long before Wang Tao chopped off its head.
"Phew—let’s rest a bit! Replenish some energy!"
Wang Tao took out some Nutrient Solution and handed it to everyone.
Wang Tao had to ensure that he and his companions were always at their peak condition to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Today’s battles might not have been too dangerous, but the intensity was definitely one of the highest they had experienced. After all, they were in the enemy’s lair, and there were just too many enemies. Besides physical exhaustion, they also had to maintain a high level of concentration... In short, they were very tired!
Not just him, even the incredibly resilient He Jijun was starting to struggle.
Wang Tao felt that it would take a considerable amount of time to use up all the Bug Eggs he had, especially with the presence of Level 5 Night Demons; he couldn’t relax in the slightest.
However, Wang Tao suddenly frowned while collecting the spoils.
He discovered that the Incubation Flesh beneath the just-killed Level 5 Night Demon had only 1,000 HP left!
Previously, each Level 4 Night Demon hatched consumed 10,000 HP, and 100,000 HP worth of Incubation Flesh could hatch 10 times, ultimately leaving 1,000 HP.
But now, hatching one Level 5 Night Demon consumed 99,000 HP? A piece of Incubation Flesh could only hatch one Level 5 Night Demon?
Didn’t that mean that hatching a Level 6 Parasite was impossible? After all, the most Incubation Flesh had was 100,000 HP, and a Level 6 Parasite would definitely require more!
Wang Tao suddenly realized—no wonder there weren’t any Level 6 Night Demons here; they couldn’t be hatched!
This didn’t impact Wang Tao much, since he wasn’t planning to hatch Level 6 Night Demons for the time being; being able to hatch Level 4 and 5 Night Demons was enough.
The only concern Wang Tao now had was whether there was enough Incubation Flesh?
After all, with 200 Level 4 and 5 insect eggs, Wang Tao felt the amount of Incubation Flesh might not be sufficient...
