Chapter 80
Regardless of what kind of weird image Sinan has as a weapon supplier, he can say what he says at the moment, anyway, other people's attention is not on this sentence now...
Praying mantis, also known as knife mantis, arthropod , six-legged insects, which spread all over the world before the end of the world, are relatively common insects.
However, the largest praying mantis before the end of the world was only more than ten centimeters, but the length of the mantis in front of Yan Mu was more than five meters just by visual inspection!
It has been more than a month since the end of the world appeared, and the mutant creatures that Yan Mu has seen far exceed double digits, but if you take these mutant creatures to make a statistics, you can find that compared with mammals, this crazy evolutionary wave On the contrary, it is more vividly displayed on insects!
...
At this time, this giant praying mantis stood quietly 20 meters away from everyone. Its huge compound eyes were divided into two ends of the triangular head, and its neck was almost completely able to rotate freely. In nature, this ability is very important when hunting. Can play a very big role.
As time went by, it gradually half erected its body, its fat belly rubbed against the ground and made rustling noises, its forelimbs were raised high, like holding a death scythe with sharp sawtooth over two meters, giving people a feeling A sense of dread that makes the hair stand on end.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense!
Looking at the terrifying creature in front of him, Yan Mu held his breath and focused, holding Qian Xin, who was almost cut in half just now, his legs and feet were so frightened that he couldn't move, and carefully opened the distance between him and it step by step.
After the apocalypse, except for a glimpse of the giant dragonfly vying for the fruit when the beast horde appeared, Yan Mu has hardly had any dealings with insects... They are not like breastfeeding Animals have a clear heartbeat, regular breathing, warm body temperature and blood, coupled with a very camouflaged appearance that can almost blend with plants, almost made Yan Mu, who has always been cautious, almost stunned! If Haitang hadn't meowed suddenly, Yan Mu might not have been able to save Qian Xin at the last moment! ...
"What do you think?" The
two confronted each other, and in the silence, Sinan cautiously moved to Yan Mu's side, without leaving his gaze from the ferocious killer in front of him for a moment, but said to Yan Mu:
"I've thought about it. Compared with most people, we are a better group of people, but even we only have kitchen knives and hatchets, and even iron pots and pressure cooker lids...
"In this kind of In peaceful times, when thermal weapons are completely controlled, we have absolutely no way to get weapons at hand...
"Elementalists are a little bit better, at least they have their own attack methods, but if the enhancers encounter people like praying mantises or iron An evolutionary creature like a beetle with its own advantages has almost lost half of its combat power..."
When Yan Mu heard this, he glanced at Si Nan expressionlessly, but didn't say anything else.
Simon's words were not pleasant, but they were true.
In the period when the end of the world just came, the ability to evolve creatures was still very weak, and elementalists could squeeze a few drops of water or light a small flame like a lighter at most, which could not form combat power at all, so at that time the enhancers were the main force.
But with the passage of time, all creatures are adapting to the survival rules of this cruel world, and they are also quickly becoming stronger.
Among the human elementalists, Qi Ruan can now easily maintain the flame size of Yan Mu's soup for three or four hours. In less than a week, Yan Cheng'an not only finished the fence, but also put the front of the factory building where he lived. The ground in the yard has been completely refurbished, and even Qi Mu can provide the daily living water needs of a dozen of them and there is still a lot left...
But the strengthener does not seem to have changed.
It's definitely not that the strengthener is too weak. In fact, Yan Mu is much stronger than she was half a month ago, but without suitable means, methods, or tools, they have no way to exert their strengths at all. full strength...
Sinan didn't notice Yan Mu's expression, and because he was worried that the mantis would launch a surprise attack, his speech speed became faster and faster: "So I think its pair of big swords are very good materials. We have Qi Ruan, a fire elementalist , there is also Chen Lin, a metal elementalist, if he uses his abilities proficiently, we can adjust the weapons by ourselves...
"If you have a handy knife, among other things, you might be able to handle this bug by yourself... ...
"I want to make a move, what's your opinion?"
Yan Mu only pondered for a moment, and said forcefully, "It's done!"
Anyway, even if he didn't make a move, this praying mantis would not obediently give way to them...
This is not a mantis at all. multiple choice questions!
On the other side, Hong Feng licked his lips, and there was a hint of eagerness on his face: "You can try it!"
Seeing that the three parties had reached a consensus, Sinan couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
They are all smart people, how to allocate the two "big swords" to the three parties is a matter after the war, and no one will be entangled with this at this time.
It was also at this time that the compound eyes of the giant praying mantis 20 meters away from everyone suddenly started to turn. At the same time, it put down the "scythe" it held up high, and turned into a posture of two knives at the same time...
Seeing this scene, Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged in Yan Mu's heart. The picture of watching people and nature with Grandpa Yan continued to spin in her mind. In the blink of an eye, her head seemed to explode suddenly, and she only had time to spit out two words ...
"Dangerous!" The
mantis is a natural hunter, and it only takes 300th of a second from the time it launches an attack...
"It's stabbing!"
As soon as Yan Mu finished speaking, there was a piercing piercing sound in the air. Howling sound, twenty meters away, the figure of the giant praying mantis has disappeared. On the right side of the team, Qian Xin, who was also closely following Yan Mu, suddenly heard a piercing sound in the sky above his head.
Looking up, a dark green figure suddenly cut off from the top of his head with a mighty force!
Seeing the sharp jagged blade approaching quickly, Qian Xin's face was full of horror and despair, but at the last moment, Yan Mu kicked Qian Xin away, saving the wretched uncle's life again .
"Boom..." The
mantis's big blade continued unabated, blasting a half-meter-long jagged knife mark on the ground. The dust, fallen leaves and humus on the ground were shaken into the air, obstructing the line of sight. Yan Mu took advantage of this opportunity to roll on the spot, and then punched directly at the fat abdomen of the mantis...
"Boom..."
Yan Mu felt as if he had been punched into a ball of cotton, and all his strength was dispersed. One, it didn't do much damage to the praying mantis at all.
It's just that Yan Mu's strength is really terrifying. Even if she was scattered, it still caused the mantis to suffer, and began to struggle violently, which greatly relieved the pressure on the others. However, just as she continued to attack, she found that the shadow above suddenly Dissipated, the praying mantis spread its wings and flew directly into the sky!
Yan Mu's face instantly became even uglier.
The defense is strong, the attack power is strong, and it can also carry out short-distance gliding flight...
Such a bug that made the nine of them helpless for a while, in terms of real strength, it is actually only the third rank!
...
Above the sky, after the mantis circled twice, its compound eyes turned, and it suddenly rushed down towards Qi Ruan who had already distanced himself from the others.
"Meow..."
Haitang yelled angrily, as if her body had turned into an afterimage, she rushed towards Qi Ruan!
It's fine if it bullies its people, but what is this bug!
The praying mantis gliding down had a panoramic view of all this, and the "scythe" raised did not know when it was lowered again, and it once again became a prayer posture with two knives at the same time.
Praying mantis, also known as knife mantis, in ancient Greece, because the forearm of the praying mantis looked like a praying girl, so it was also known as the praying insect...
Seeing this scene, Yan Mu was so heartbroken that he roared: "Haitang stop! Others attack!"
Haitang was extremely fast and powerful in attack, but his defense was very weak. If he rushed over like this, he might be cut in half by the big blade on the spot.
After hearing Yan Mu's anxious and terrified roar, Hai Tang, who was running all the way, slammed to the brakes, and her sharp claws left several scratches several meters long on the ground.
It turned its head towards the hunter in the sky and roared unwillingly, but it did not move forward as promised, and the black cat that had been following it also stopped in its tracks.
At this moment, the atmosphere is like a tight string, and if there is any accident, the whole thing will break apart!
But when everyone was worrying about Qi Ruan who was at the source of danger, she herself was unexpectedly calm at the moment.
She could feel her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest, and she could also hear Yanmu's anxious cry not far away, and even the sound of the wings of the giant praying mantis that was getting closer and closer above the sky. The stench of insects was clearly audible...
But at this moment, as if she had suddenly entered a state of enlightenment, she made a sharp turn and took two more steps to the left. Then, all the mysterious energies flowing through her body after the evolution flowed rapidly, finally gathered in her palm, and exploded violently!
"Boom..." The
huge crimson flame was like a roaring abyssal dragon, roaring and enveloping the hunter who was only six or seven meters away from her.
The temperature of this flame is several times higher than when Qi Ruan broke through to the second-level evolutionary. Just touching it will make the body of the mantis sizzle, and the tough leather wings and membrane wings as thin as cicada wings are roasted. It became curly and browned, and could no longer maintain the previous balance, and fell down completely!
Qi Ruan seemed to realize something in his heart.
This is... Tier 3?
In the end, the giant blade still fell down, but I don’t know whether it was interfered by Zhang Tong’s illusion or because Qi Ruan just moved. There was no damage at all, but the turbulent air wave pushed her so that she couldn't stabilize her body and stumbled...
The next second, the Frostbolt, Thunder Light, and Golden Blade that came a step behind seemed to be free of money, and the dissipated energy radiated The shimmering light completely enveloped the nearly six-meter-long praying mantis, and then it was soon shrouded in extreme darkness, unable to see its original appearance again! to the end. The body of this powerful but unlucky hunter was separated under a tree trunk that was just pulled out by Yan Mu, ending the chapter of its life ... Time passed by every minute and every second , everyone looked at the devastated battlefield, and no one spoke for a while. This incident gave them a big blow... Among the nine of them, except for Qian Xin and Zhang Tong, none of them was below the second-order evolutionary, and Hong Feng even broke through to the third-order! However, with their lineup, it would be difficult to deal with a Tier 3 praying mantis. Even if it wasn't for Yan Mu's quick response, Qian Xin and Qi Ruan might have explained here... Is this the only strength they have? Yan Mu's face was also very ugly at this time. Panting heavily, she kicked away the triangular head of the mantis with two huge compound eyes, raised her eyes to look in the direction of the ginkgo tree in the distance, and said slowly after a long while: "It seems...we want to change Make a plan!" Just a third-order bug made them so embarrassed, how could they have the face to investigate the uncrowned king of the mountain city? Balloons are not so inflated! The whole space remained silent. However, in this quietness, there was a rustling, as if the sound of an object coming out of the body suddenly rang through everyone's ears. Everyone looked over in unison.
I saw...
On the headless corpse of Mantis beside him, a small dot suddenly protruded from the fat abdomen exposed on his back when he fell to the ground!
The author has something to say:
All the introductions about praying mantises come from Baidu Encyclopedia and Man and Nature, which I loved to read when I was young.
If you have paid attention to it, you should know that this kind of creature is really powerful, I dare not touch it when I was a child, and every time I meet it in spring and summer, it is green, and it turns gray in autumn.
When I was young, my family had a paddy field, and I would thresh rice in autumn. It’s very interesting. I’ll tell you about it in detail later...
Also, have I paid off my debts? I don’t remember any more...
