Chapter 203 Insect Eggs! Amethyst Titan Dragonfly!

This is not a stone, but an insect egg!

Zhu Ge originally thought that it would be fine to plant the tree in Liudao Valley, since it didn't matter whether it was ripe or not.

It wasn't that he didn't want to steal the star anise fruit, but that he knew he wouldn't be able to.

It is foreseeable that the eight-star fruit will ultimately be obtained by the four strongest individuals.

As for compensation?

He's not that naive.

Even if there is compensation, they will only be targeted and resented.

Those people were either prodigies on the "National Ranking" or veteran powerhouses of the Third Realm.

It is unwise to put yourself in danger because of the memory of the fruit.

That's why he stole the tree and then ran away.

However, he never expected that he would actually obtain an insect egg!

Amethyst Titan Dragonfly!

This is not an ancient exotic species, but an ancient divine beast!

According to the old man's inheritance that he obtained, the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly can automatically possess the strength of a great being after reaching adulthood, making it a well-deserved divine beast!

Just like Tianjiao.

Humans call them prodigies, while demon prodigies are known as divine beasts.

Some of them are demonic beasts that fight beyond their level. Although they are ordinary wild beasts, they can still be considered divine beasts.

As for the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly, it is a mythical beast on par with dragons and phoenixes, and becomes a powerful being as soon as it grows up.

Such an existence was something even Zhu Ge had never encountered in the memories of the Great Shaman; he had only heard of it in the lineage.

Fortunately, even though I've never dealt with this kind of thing before, I can still tell the difference.

Just like dinosaur fossils, you don't necessarily have to come into contact with them to determine what the original dinosaur fossil looked like.

Although the great shaman did not know what the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly looked like, he had seen the remains and knew how to judge and refine it.

It should be noted that much of the content in the tradition of witchcraft, whether it is passed down by a great shaman or an old man, is no longer useful.

This is not because the content is wrong, but because the "raw materials" contained in the content are missing.

For example, how to identify the eggs of the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly, how to raise them, how to hunt them, and how to cultivate them, etc.

Even with these inherited contents, it's useless, because the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly of today is already extinct.

Just like in the previous life, even if you know how to cook certain extinct species, it's useless because there's nothing for you to cook.

Zhu Ge never expected that these "extra" contents in her memory could only be read as fiction.

Unexpectedly, he actually encountered an egg of the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly.

As for the star anise tree?

Legend has it that the location of the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly will automatically give birth to the top-grade Nine-Light Fruit, which can nourish divine consciousness.

The star anise fruit is simply produced from the eggs of the amethyst titan dragonfly.

If the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly eggs hatch into humans, and if they are cultivated using the methods of the Great Witch Old Man, then the Nine-Light Fruit can be eaten as food.

"What is this thing?" Yu Xiucai looked at the pebble in Zhu Ge's hand, puzzled, then looked at Zhu Ge again: "Has the sundial gone mad?"

"Smack!" "Smack!" ————

Seven or eight red mist whips appeared in succession, directly shattering Yu Xiucai's literary aura shield.

"Scholar, be careful, I might bewitch you and make you fall in love with a pregnant dog!" Hua Liusha's voice came through gritted teeth.

"Alright, alright, stop being so sarcastic, scholar." Zhu Ge said, both amused and exasperated, and put the amethyst Titan dragonfly egg back in his hand.

Zhu Ge had already discovered when the village was dealing with the mushroom god that many of Yu Xiucai's behaviors and expressions were performances.

He usually behaves very meticulously and seriously.

But that's because the gentleman was there.

Is this the real Yu Xiucai?

Afraid of insects, has a sharp tongue, and is timid.

Everything's ready!

Of course, if something really happens, Scholar Yu is the kind of person who will step up without hesitation.

"Anyway, this thing is very useful, haha." Zhu Ge smiled. "Scholar, how long until you break through to the third realm?"

"It's hard to say." Yu Xiucai suddenly lost interest in talking.

Zhu Ge chuckled, then continued to recall the legacy in his mind.

There are requirements for hatching this Amethyst Titan Dragonfly.

Zhu Ge carefully reviewed the memories passed down from the old man in her mind.

The hatching method for the Amethyst Titan Dragonfly is not complicated, but the conditions are extremely demanding.

First, the insect eggs need to be placed in an environment rich in spiritual energy and nurtured by the spiritual energy for about ten days to allow them to revive.

This reminded Zhu Ge of the spiritual water and spiritual soil.

That is full of spiritual energy.

Secondly, after the insect eggs revive, they need to be watered with the blood of a hundred beasts once a day for a hundred days.

Finally, after 100 days, the eggs will hatch on their own, and the larvae will emerge from their shells.

Of course, what seems simple is actually the most difficult part.

Rather, this insect egg had been dormant for far too long, and ordinary beast blood simply could not awaken it.

It requires the essence and blood of demonic beasts at the third realm or above.

He did have the essence blood of a demon beast from the Three Realms, and the corpse of a tree lizard.

But the tree lizard was already dead, and most of its essence and blood had been lost, so it might not be enough.

"We'll talk about it later." Zhu Ge carefully put the amethyst Titan dragonfly egg into the grass bowl and placed it in the safest spot.

The group continued forward and then saw vast stretches of abandoned farmland, overgrown with weeds, with the occasional collapsed thatched hut.

Further on, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys, and a village of moderate size came into view.

This village is quite well hidden; if it weren't for the arrival of a large army, probably no one would have discovered it.

"Palace Master, there's a village ahead," Zhao Tieshan called out as he ran up from the front. "Should we go around it?"

"No need." Zhu Ge waved his hand: "It's a good time to stop and rest, and also to check on the situation in the village."

The group stopped outside the village, and Zhu Ge led Yu Xiucai and the others into the village.

The village is small, with about a hundred households.

Most of the houses are made of mud walls and thatched roofs, with only a few houses in the center of the village being brick and tile houses.

Upon seeing the group, the villagers quickly hid inside their houses. Only a few bold young men stood by the roadside, holding hoes and machetes, watching them warily.

"Old man, don't be afraid." Zhu Ge dismounted and clasped his hands in greeting to an old man by the roadside, saying, "We are a group from the Six Paths Palace. We are passing through your esteemed place and would like to borrow a place to rest."

The old man sized him up a few times, then glanced at the soldiers behind him dressed in uniform black outfits, his vigilance showing no sign of easing.

In chaotic times, armed forces like Zhuge might be more terrifying than monsters.

The old man asked curiously, "The Six Paths Palace? Never heard of it."

"They're from Jianshui City," Zhu Ge said. "They're going to relieve the siege of Mengzi City."

The old man's eyes lit up: "Mengzi City? You're going to rescue Mengzi City?"

"Yes." Zhu Ge nodded with a smile. "Good! Good!" The old man nodded excitedly, "What would you like to eat? Although the village is poor, there is still some grain. I'll have the villagers cook for you!"

"No need, we brought our own rations," Zhu Ge said with a smile. "We can just borrow the open space at the entrance of your village to set up camp."

"How can that be!" The old man waved his hands repeatedly. "You're going to rescue people, how can we let you eat dry rations? Wait here, I'll have the villagers kill a chicken right now!"

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Zhu Ge to stop him.

The soldiers began to set up camp on the open ground at the entrance of the village.

Zhu Ge sat on a large rock, watching the villagers bustling around, bringing over bowls of hot porridge and baskets of mixed grain cakes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"This is also the human race." Yu Xiucai sat next to him, holding a bowl of porridge and slowly drinking it: "No matter how poor or difficult they are, they will give their all as long as guests come."

Zhu Ge nodded, then sighed, "Alas, the people's lives are filled with hardship."
