"Sister Xiaoyu, it's right here!" Xiaohu was very excited, as if he had got some fun toy and wanted to share it with everyone, he tore off the black cloth all at once.

A large iron cage with a width of more than one meter was welded with iron rods thicker than a thumb. It can be said to be quite strong. There was a huge praying mantis standing in the cage.

The huge forelimbs, like a sickle, kept slashing on the iron cage, sparks splashed, leaving shallow marks on the iron bars, full of strength, once the black cloth was lifted, The praying mantis immediately stopped attacking the cage that restrained it, and turned to stare at Chen Dasheng and the others with its pair of huge eyes.

Still alive!

Chen Dasheng was a little surprised. A praying mantis can grow to such a large size. It is almost like a demon. Before, I thought Xiaohu was bragging, but now I see that this is not bragging. The real thing is bigger than what Xiaohu described. One point, nearly one meter long.

Chen Dasheng had never seen such a big praying mantis before. When he saw it at this moment, he couldn't help feeling extremely strange. This mountain not only raised people, but also raised mantises of this size.

"Wow!"

Xiong Xiaoyu was also obviously surprised, covered his mouth and exclaimed, and then pulled Xiaohu back a step, afraid that the scythe legs of the praying mantis would swing over, and the scythe legs could cut sparks on the iron rod. If it was cut at the neck, the whole head would have to be chopped off.

"Sister Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, it won't be able to escape!" Xiaohu now showed his manly courage, and instead comforted Xiong Xiaoyu.

"We've never seen such a big praying mantis!" At this time, Xiong Qingshan came over, and many people surrounded him. The prey had been distributed almost, and everyone looked at it strangely.

"Looking at this guy's strength, I'm afraid it must weigh hundreds of thousands of catties." Chen Dasheng nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the big mantis, feeling inexplicably that something was wrong with this mantis.

Xiong Qingshan said, "When we met it in the mountains, this guy was hunting a goshawk, and the scythe was definitely no less than a martial arts master, we took a lot of effort to catch it, several times A brother was injured!"

Xiong Qingshan's strength is not high, only the realm of ninth-level martial apprentice, not even the realm of martial master, but the people in this Miao village don't pay much attention to the cultivation of martial arts, they pay more attention to the physical body, and the ancient legend Although Xiong Qingshan does not even reach the realm of a martial artist, Chen Dasheng will not underestimate him because of this, just like himself. Although the realm is only an eighth-level martial artist, his combat power is far beyond the realm, so Chen Dasheng has a reason I believe that Xiong Qingshan will not be too bad.

The men next to them nodded their heads again and again when they heard Xiong Qingshan's words, and even showed Chen Dasheng the wounds on their bodies. Although the wounds were not serious, they were quite glaring, and it could be seen that they had gone through a hard battle.

A praying mantis can fight against so many men, Chen Dasheng couldn't help seeing different colors in his eyes, no wonder the guy is the ancestor of the mantis boxing, not only the boxing skills are powerful, but the saber technique is also extraordinary!

"Clang, clang..."

Seeing that there were more people onlookers, the big praying mantis in the cage swung its sickle again and angrily beat the iron cage, flapping its wings, trying to escape from the prison.

Everyone spread out in a circle and didn't dare to get too close. This thing is more than ordinary brutal and aggressive. Anyone who is familiar with the habits of mantises knows that when this kind of creature is short of food, they dare to prey. Larger creatures even eat their own kind.

"Father, look quickly, its stomach is moving, it doesn't mean it's about to give birth?" At this time, Xiaohu pointed at the big praying mantis in the cage, and bluffed at Xiong Qingshan.

When everyone heard this, their eyes shifted from the scythe of the praying mantis to its big belly. That huge white belly was constantly arching, as if something was about to burst out.

"Oh, it's strange, it turned out to be a female praying mantis!" Someone in the crowd laughed out loud.

The busy people nearby all ran over when they heard that the praying mantis was about to give birth. There were no entertainment programs in the mountains, and no one wanted to miss any rare events at this time.

"Get out of the way!"

While everyone was quietly waiting for the mantis to give birth, a majestic and old voice came from behind.

"Grandma?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Grandma Xiong walking towards this side with a cold face, followed by A Bo and Gillian, they immediately stepped aside respectfully, in Xiong's Village, everyone, regardless of age or age, It is called Grandma Xiong as grandma, and Grandma Xiong's status can be said to be supreme.

The appearance of Grandma Xiong made everyone hold their breath, obviously they were shocked by Grandma Xiong's majesty and aura.

Grandma Xiong walked up to the iron cage, looked at the raging mantis in the cage, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, she immediately stepped back two steps, and shouted at the crowd, "Everyone, immediately!" leave here."

"Grandma?" When everyone heard the words, they were all a little confused, Xiong Qingshan opened his mouth, wanting to ask something.

"Right now, hurry up!" Grandma Xiong scolded, her eyes staring far away.

Everyone was silent, even if they had doubts in their hearts, no one had the courage to ask, Grandma Xiong's prestige, no one dared to resist, hurriedly scattered, and quickly left the square with their prey. I still wanted to see the excitement, but unfortunately because of the appearance of Grandma Xiong, they broke up unhappy.

"Da Sheng, you stay!"

Chen Dasheng was about to leave with Xiaoyu, Abo, and Gillian, but was stopped by Grandma Xiong. Looking back, Grandma Xiong was staring at him. Chen Dasheng was a little puzzled, but he stopped and stayed. But Xiaoyu Xiaohu and the others turned around every five steps and left reluctantly.

"Senior, what's the matter?"

The people left quickly, and only Chen Dasheng and Grandma Xiong were left in the square, as well as the big praying mantis in the cage. , Chen Dasheng didn't quite understand, is such a praying mantis worthy of being so cautious by Grandma Xiong?

Grandma Xiong looked at the praying mantis in the cage, her face was full of dignity, "Have you heard of Tiansi the knife mantis?"

"Sword Mantis Tencel?"

Chen Dasheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face. This kind of astonishment was not because the name Daolang was the same as that of Xiaodao, but because he read it from the record of rare treasures given to him by Chen Xiaoli. I have seen that there is a list of poisonous insects in Qizhenlu, which records many strange and poisonous poisons. The sunset lizard I met before is ranked fifth on this list of poisonous insects, and the sword beetle tencel is ranked No. seven.

"Senior, as far as I know, the knife mantis tencel is a long insect, but this is obviously a praying mantis?" Chen Dasheng was a little puzzled. The illustrations are completely different.

Grandma Xiong said, "Do you know why it is called Daomantis Tencel? The poison I am talking about is not the big praying mantis in front of me, but the Tencel in the belly of this mantis."

"Huh?" Chen Dasheng was taken aback for a moment, and said immediately, "Senior, what do you mean, iron nematodes?"

"That's right!" Grandma Xiong nodded slightly, "Tensi is an iron nematode, but this kind of tencel is much stronger than ordinary iron nematodes!"

Iron nematode is a kind of parasitic insect that lives in the body of insects. It looks like a wire. It is especially common in the body of mantises. Chen Dasheng used to run on the mountains when he was a child. He saw many of them. At that time, he thought it was mantises The larvae, I later learned, were a parasite.

Ranking seventh on the list of poisonous insects is obviously not easy. Chen Dasheng still remembers how powerful that sunset lizard was. If it wasn't for Yaoyun's antidote, the elder sister might have died long ago.

No wonder Grandma Xiong wanted everyone to leave. It turned out that the big praying mantis still had such a poison hidden in its stomach. At this time, Chen Dasheng became more cautious. Looking at the big belly of the praying mantis, Chen Dasheng said, "It is about to come out. Is it?"

Grandma Xiong shook her head, "This praying mantis is not dead, it won't come out!"

"Oh!" Chen Dasheng felt relieved, and immediately asked again, "Senior, do you want to destroy this thing?" (To be continued.)
