Beast Throne

Chapter 347 Death Mantis
After hearing Roach's shout, whether it was Salmon who was talking to Wu Tong, or Lilai who was playing hide-and-seek with the pony, they all returned to their team almost instantly and formed a defensive formation.

Even Li Chu, who had been wandering far and wide, was slightly moved, and stretched out her hand to caress Luo Qi's injured thigh. A burst of holy light flashed on the red cross on his chest, and Luo Qi's wound immediately stopped bleeding and began to form scars.

"Roach, you're not mistaken, is it really the Death Mantis?" Luo Bar finally stood up from the ground, his face more tense than ever, and the hand holding the wand even trembled a little.

"I'm sure I can't see it wrong. It's the Death Mantis. It has a black body. I was hit by it without even noticing it, and I didn't have any breath." Luo Qi's face was pale, and archers are good at concealment. Compared with a natural hunter like Death Mantis, his concealment ability is not enough.

"Anyway, everyone, be careful, you can't run away at all, and see if you have a chance to hurt it. The Reaper Mantis cherishes its body very much. Once injured, it will not attack again." Lilai and Salmon separated The two ends of the team guarded the other three people who were not capable of close combat.

After Luo Qi fell from the tree, the flame horse had no purpose, extinguished the flames on his body, and returned to Wu Tong's side.The little pony showed its naughty side, acting like a winner, jumping around Wu Tong's side, and even took the slow step of kicking in a horse race.

"So it's called Death Mantis? It's a very appropriate name. I've warned you just now that it's unwise to act now, but you won't listen to me."

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.Lilai and the five came chasing the foal, but they didn't know that there was a more advanced predator following them.After all, this is the depths of the Southern Cross Forest, beyond the area of ​​seven-star monsters, and it is normal to encounter powerful earth-level monsters.

Although Lilai is strong in the earth except for Roach, she is no match for Warcraft in terms of single attack strength.Moreover, monsters are natural predators, they will not come out to fight humans openly, just like this Death Mantis, it will choose Roach, who is the weakest among them, to attack, and it is still when Roach is fighting with the flame horse .

Roach was already lucky. In order to avoid the flames of the flame horse, his movements were irregular, so he hurt his leg.The Reaper Mantis' attacks are aimed at the vital points, usually fatal with one blow.

"Can you find the Reaper Mantis? Impossible, even the strongest in the sky cannot find it. The Reaper Mantis has the strongest concealment ability among the earth-level monsters." Li Lai was taken aback.

At this time, the five people on the opposite side realized that what Wu Tong meant by being unwise at the beginning turned out to be about the Reaper Mantis, not that they were not his opponents.But it seemed that he only knew that there was something lurking nearby, but not what it was.

"I'm very sensitive to bugs. It seems to follow you, maybe it's waiting for you to fall asleep." Wu Tong really didn't know what was following them, he could only be sure that it was probably a bug .

Lilai and the others couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. I really can't say whether they were lucky or not.Meeting the Reaper Mantis can be said to be extremely bad luck, and it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out tonight.But because he came here chasing the pony, he didn't rest at night, but escaped unharmed.

"You, don't you prepare for it? That's the Death Mantis, unless you are a strong man in the sky, otherwise you can't stop its sickle. Even the black stone armor of the Mohists can easily cut through the sickle of the Death Mantis, and It also has extremely strong corrosive energy, if there is no Li Chu, the knife just now can make Luo Qi's leg crippled."

Lilai saw Wu Tong standing there in a leisurely manner, as if she was watching a play, and the two sides of the performance were them and the death mantis who didn't know where it was now, Lilai felt that her nerves were a little out of order.

"It's okay, don't worry about me. You are busy, and I won't take the opportunity to attack you."

Wu Tong waved his hands, and even found a rock and sat down.The flaming horse had been with Wu Tong for a long time, and it became very humane. After seeing Wu Tong's actions, it immediately sat down with its hooves curled up, and stared at the five people who were on guard.After hesitating for a while, the little pony also tried to learn the behavior of the flame horse, but it didn't seem to know how to cross its legs, and almost tripped itself for a long time.

The five of Lilai looked at each other, and they all saw the extremely speechless heart in each other's eyes.They were so nervous that they might die at any time, but they watched this critical scene as a play, and they even brought their pets to watch it together.

"Lilai, that guy seems to have a way to deal with the Reaper Mantis, how about we just move to his side?" Luo Bar suggested in a low voice, wanting to divert the trouble, or use Wu Tong's power to escape.

"Isn't that bad?" Li Lai was a little hesitant, the Reaper Mantis was too dangerous, and she didn't know what Wu Tong had to rely on.Now Wu Tong is just watching the show, if the angry opponent takes the opportunity to make a move, they will really be finished.

"Then do you have any other solution? We can't be more patient than Death Mantis. It will be over sooner or later." Luo Qi also echoed, although Li Chu healed his injury in time, but now Luo Qi only feels pain in his right leg. I don't feel it anymore.

The Reaper Mantis is a very special kind of monster. It is said that it was originally a creature from the Devil's Abyss. It came to this continent by accident, just like the troll that originally belonged to the orcs.Their scythes have a demonic aura and are extremely corrosive.

If you encounter the Reaper Mantis alone, once you get injured, even if it's just scratched, you basically don't want to escape.The demonic energy slowly eats away at the wounded, and running away only aggravates the injury.

"No!" Salmon shook his head. The big man had a clear mind at the critical moment, "Now our opponent is the Reaper Mantis, and the five of us may still escape. But if he is angered, it will really be over. I'd better ask first, if he is willing to help."

"Samon is right." Lilai immediately nodded in agreement with Salmon's statement, and Roach and Robert had no choice but to agree.But just when they were about to move towards Wu Tong, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the bushes beside him, and the shadow of the knife with a cold light smeared towards Luo Ba's neck.

Ding!At the critical moment, Lilai blocked with a wrist knife and saved Luo Bar's life.But the black shadow did not continue to hide, but fell between Wu Tong and Lilai.

One person tall, the whole body is covered with black non-reflective carapace, a pair of red compound eyes, two thin and long sickle-shaped forelimbs, it seems that even the surrounding air becomes colder, and the light is also sucked into the body by it .Now Wu Tong understood why the Death Mantis terrified the five people on the opposite side so much. Just by looking at its shape, one could tell that it was a monster made for killing. If it was hidden, it would be impossible for others to find it.

The Reaper Mantis behaved very strangely, it ignored Wu Tong at all, and focused on Lilai and the other five.And he didn't seem to be planning to hide anymore, he seemed to be planning to attack head-on.

"Why?" Luo Bar, who escaped from death, wiped off his cold sweat. When the Reaper Mantis appeared just now, he didn't emit the slightest breath. If it wasn't for Lilai's quick reaction and the fact that he didn't need to swing the wrist knife, he would be dead now.

"The Reaper Mantis doesn't even plan to hide. It's better this way. If we fight head-on, we may not necessarily lose, and we may even take down this Reaper Mantis." The two brothers, Luo Qi and Robert, both suffered from the Reaper Mantis. I want to kill this Death Mantis.

"Lilai, what do you think?" Salmon always felt that it was not that simple.

"I don't know either." Lilai shook her head, saw Wu Tong who was doing nothing behind, and suddenly felt that he might know something.

"Hey, Wu Tong, this is the Reaper Mantis. Do you know why it doesn't hide? Ordinary Reaper Mantises don't do that," Li Lai shouted.

"I'm not very clear, but I think they may think there is no need to sneak attack." Wu Tong shrugged.

"You mean, they? Could it be more than one?" Lilai's voice trembled.

"Did I say there is only one?" Wu Tong looked at the little pony beside him, who shook his head like a rattle.

brush!Another black shadow descended from the sky, exactly the same as the previous Reaper Mantis, but the abdomen was slightly bulging. It was probably a pregnant female Reaper Mantis.With two Reaper Mantises added together, Lilai and the others are not able to deal with even a frontal attack.

"Oh, so I'm going to be a mother, no wonder I've been staring at you all the time." This Reaper Mantis didn't have the habit of eating males like a real mantis, but instead hunted together as a couple, which can be regarded as a kind of evolution.

It's over!Lilai didn't even have the thought of resisting. One Reaper Mantis might be able to escape, but two of them could basically dispel the thought.Especially in this case, the Reaper Mantis will not let them go even if they are injured.

"Wu Tong, do you have a way to deal with them? Please help us." Lilai didn't care about angering Wu Tong at this moment.

"Yeah, do us a favor. We don't want that pony anymore!" Roach yelled at once.

"Isn't it the same if you are dead? Also, here is the Southern Cross Forest, which was originally the territory of monsters. You are outsiders, and you came here to hunt monsters in exchange for money. In this case, you must have Prepare yourself to be prey. Good luck!"

Wu Tong was very satisfied with this ending. He didn't want to fight these five people, and the best result was when he didn't have to fight.Many adventurers came to this Southern Cross Forest, many monsters were hunted, and many people died.Wu Tong still wanted to look for the elves. The fewer people who knew about them, the better. Wu Tong saved them. If they knew about the elves, they would have to kill them.

"Let's go!" Wu Tong said to the flame horse, turned around and prepared to continue looking for the elves' territory.But he dared to take two steps and was stopped again.Wu Tong turned around and found that it was the little pony that bit his cloak again and kept pulling towards Lilai, looking at it as if hoping that Wu Tong would stay and save their lives.

"You actually want to save them?" Wu Tong asked in surprise.

The silver-white pony kept nodding, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
