Even though Rocky got the Dark Heaven Insect with extreme ease and now bred it in captivity, he still couldn't get the Dark Heaven Egg that easily. The process wasn't fast and easy that there would be no instant results. It took time and patience. According to the description in the Beast Encyclopedia, the production of one Dark Heaven Egg at the primary grade by a three-star Dark Heaven Insect at the first level would take one month. Sometimes, it could even take two or up to three months if the production process was slow, not to mention the production time for the Dark Heaven Egg at the medium or the premium grade, which definitely would be much longer. Rocky certainly did not expect to wait this long.
'It looks like I need to catch a few more Dark Heaven Insects to produce more eggs. With only one to produce egg, I am afraid that it can't produce enough eggs to meet my demand for cultivation. If I have several of them, then the situation will be totally different. I can breed them simultaneously and produce more eggs in a short amount of time. Moreover, I definitely should spend some time studying how to speed up the production of a Dark Heaven Egg. If I can do that, I can shorten my waiting time and efficiently produce more eggs...' Rocky thought deeply as he examined the Dark Heaven Insect, who could not move in front of him. It looked like a statue by the way it was paralyzed. Even though relying on his knowledge about the modern science and technology couldn't make the Dark Heaven Insect produce the Dark Heaven Egg instantly, he still could shorten the time of producing the Dark Heaven Egg. He could also improve the production efficiency, as long as he bred the Dark Heaven Insect scientifically, like arranging appropriate diet, improving its living environment and so on.
It took him a great amount of effort to capture the Dark Heaven Insect alive, and the man with red hair even inadvertently helped him to capture it. Even though he didn't mean to help him at all, Rocky wouldn't have been able to capture the Dark Heaven Insect without him. Therefore, if Rocky wanted to capture another one alive by himself, he knew he had to carefully make a long-term plan and be fully prepared. The wheels in his head were already turning as he came up with plans in his head.
The bone arrow stained with the Centipede-snake's venom was enough to make the Dark Heaven Insect lose its mobility for a few days. Since it was too paralyzed to move, it was safe to keep it in the cave alone. Rocky felt assured and then got out of the cave through the path he found last time. When he arrived on the ground, he immediately cut off some dense branches and leaves with his Frozen Wind Dagger to cover the entrance of the path. He had to make sure that it was hidden and secure. After that, he returned to the deserted village to pick up his war beast, Uriah. Without any hesitation, he displayed his Nebula Cloud Transformation skill to destroy the entrance of the cave, so that nobody could find the Dark Heaven Insect hidden in the cave.
To add more precaution, Rocky concealed the traces left by Dark Heaven Insect near the deserted village. When he was satisfied by the lack of traces in the area, he returned to the military camp with Uriah.
As soon as he walked into the military camp, Rocky sensed the atmosphere was not the same as usual. Everyone looked a bit worried, as if something bad had happened. He was greeted with furrowed eyebrows and worried glances. He could also hear the murmurs of the spirit manipulators as they whispered with each other.
"Captain..." Rocky heard a sad voice call his name. When he looked up, he saw Thor and Joss appear in front of him with a twisted look on their face, as if they both wanted to laugh and cry. They looked conflicted with emotions, terrified but at the same time relieved that Rocky had made it back.
"Captain, you are finally back. We heard that you went out for a mission. Did you encounter any danger on your way? We were worried about you so much." Thor and Joss immediately surrounded Rocky and examined him carefully, as if they feared that Rocky would be badly injured. They checked his body for any possible injuries, and when they saw that Rocky didn't have a single scratch on him, they breathed a sigh of relief.
