Chapter 328: Giant Praying Mantis and Centipede
However, by this time the sailor could hardly be called a complete human being.
Because at this time, the upper half of his body has been clamped by the huge mantis with a huge forelimb that is one meter long, and constantly sent into his mouthparts to chew, under the mantis's extremely strong bite, most of the sailor's head is gone, revealing the white brain and blood inside.
"Vomit ......"
Gu Xiaole had a feeling of wanting to vomit, he covered his mouth and glanced at Alida next to him, obviously her psychological quality was much stronger than him, but she still couldn't help frowning a little.
At this time, Gu Xiaole had to admire his wise decision in the morning, if he really brought Ning Lei or even Lin Jiao or Lin Rui and other girls down to the valley.
It is estimated that these useless girls have already started to scream loudly at this time, and the target of these two big bugs may be them living people instead of dead corpses.
The big centipede on the opposite side didn't seem to take it seriously at all for the mantis's constant flapping of its wings, and a pair of dark black chelica teeth also clamped on one of the unlucky sailor's legs, obviously not wanting to give up the meal in front of him.
Although he didn't know which of the two of them killed this unlucky sailor, or maybe he was killed by some other huge bug, Gu Xiaole still felt that it was ironic that they humans had suddenly fallen from the top of the earth's food chain to the food of this simple-minded bug.
He glanced back at Alida, who patted his hand and signaled him not to act rashly, the sailor was dead, there was no need for the two of them to risk fighting for a dead man and these two behemoths, not to mention that they didn't have much ammunition in the first place, and it was completely unknown how much damage the Thomson submachine gun could do to these two guys.
So it's better to wait and see what happens......
Gu Xiaole nodded, and returned his gaze to the two giant insects on the grass.
The praying mantis flapped its wings to warn the centipede on the other side, while continuing to chew on the sailor's remaining body as if no one was around, seeing that Gu Xiaole almost wanted to vomit.
After a while, the centipede on the opposite side was enraged by the mantis's behavior of not taking itself seriously at all, and it suddenly let go of the sailor's thighs, and stretched forward sharply, ready to use its pair of chelica to teach the mantis a lesson that did not know the height of the sky!
However, as terrestrial arthropods, their reaction speed and agility are not at the same level as insects.
Although the praying mantis has been gnawing at the sailor's head, the pair of oversized compound eyes on its head that look like aliens have been staring at the competitor in front of it 360 degrees.
As soon as the centipede began to rush over, it immediately quickly let go of the pair of huge forelimbs, and jumped backwards after its body, dodging the centipede's sudden forward attack, and as the body jumped backwards and was still in the air, two huge forelimbs in the shape of a sickle stretched out like lightning, accurately clamping the upper half of the centipede's body!
Before the centipede could react, the mantis opened its mouthparts and aimed at the centipede's body.
The praying mantis took defense as the offense this time, and the defensive counterattack was really beautiful, if Gu Xiaole saw it in his hometown when he was a child, he would definitely laugh and jump up and applaud.
Now Gu Xiaole was also excited in his heart, but when he thought that if he jumped, he might end up worse than that sailor, so he honestly continued to lie in the bushes and did not dare to move.
After all, no matter how miserable that sailor is, he is already dead, and if he is caught by the praying mantis like that sailor, I am afraid that he will have to taste the feeling of being eaten by his head alive, and it feels a little creepy when he thinks about it.
The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, although the huge centipede was completely controlled by the front limbs of the praying mantis and the front half of its body, but unwilling to admit defeat, it immediately launched a counterattack, and its thick body like a giant python immediately curled up and directly wrapped the body of the praying mantis!
In this way, the two big guys formed a delicate situation, although the praying mantis took the lead to control the front end of the centipede's body, but his own body was also firmly trapped by the lower half of the centipede's body, and no one could help anyone for a while......
But even so, Gu Xiaole could see that if it was consumed for a long time, it would definitely be the praying mantis that would win.
Because although it was also entangled by the centipede, it was not fatal to it, and now the centipede's head was firmly grasped by the mantis's huge scythe.
Even if the body is trapped, it does not delay the praying mantis from continuing to gnaw on the centipede's body as if nothing happened.
After a while, a large hole was gnawed out by the mantis on the large bowl thick body at the front of the centipede's body, and streams of pale green liquid with a pungent smell continued to flow out of the centipede's body.
This is the slow response nerve of the centipede, an arthropod creature, if it were changed to a normal mammal, the pain would have to die of pain!
But Gu Xiaole also sensed that something was wrong, if this big mantis was allowed to continue to eat, it would be a trivial matter if the centipede would die or not, and the key was that the two of them would not leave the front of them for a while!
Wouldn't this be the same if he and Arida were discovered?
Thinking of this, he picked up the Thomson submachine gun in his hand and took aim, this gun can be regarded as following him on the desert island for a long time.
There must be at least ten or twenty pirates who died in this robbery, but this is the first time that he has used it to shoot a praying mantis, and it is estimated that no one in the world has done it like him.
Then the problem arises, the praying mantis and the centipede are in a situation of death match and are motionless, and he shoots with a gun, of course, the best live target.
But where to shoot? Insects are creatures with exoskeletons, although when they are not big, their exoskeletons are simply too strong for humans.
But as their bodies increase geometrically, the strength of the exoskeleton outside their bodies must also be increased geometrically (otherwise they won't be able to bear the burden on their bodies due to the earth's gravity!)!
And the nervous system of these insects is completely different from that of humans, even if they have no head, these guys can live for a few hours without any problem, Gu Xiaole often did this kind of experiment when he was a child, catching different insects and putting them together, and getting their heads off to see which one died first.
Although he couldn't remember exactly how long the praying mantis would live without a head, a few hours would definitely be no problem, and it was estimated that this time would be enough to kill a few Gu Xiaole and Alida.
Gu Xiaole hesitated, but he finally chose to shoot, and the target he shot was actually the compound eye the size of an apple on the mantis's triangular head!
