Chapter 5: Two Praying Mantises
The three of them climbed out of the car and stood silently in front of the tree looking at the smoking car.
"What are you!" Brother Su slapped Jiang Bai on the back of the head angrily.
"You ......" Cai Zijun just raised his hand, and was glared back by Jiang Bai again.
"What should I do next?" Jiang Bai asked with some humility.
"What should I do? Go back, your thunderbolt can take you to the sky. Brother Su snorted coldly.
"Such a big person, and still hold grudges like this...... Jiang Bai muttered quietly.
Brother Su tilted his head and thought for a while: "There are still three kilometers from here to home, and there may be some ghosts and demons on the road, only the heron eagle is singing in the faint ......, sweeping across the yellow sand, walking in every corner, walking in the endless vast starry "
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes: "Stop, why are you still singing." ”
When Jiang Bai awakened his ability, several people were not as afraid as they were at the beginning, and they forgot about the curse.
.........
The three of them walked along the road for eight or nine hundred meters, and they didn't encounter any magical beasts along the way, but Cai Zijun and Brother Su couldn't stand the howling wind, and the two shrank into a ball, hunched over and advanced against the wind.
Dozing off and sending a pillow, the sharp-eyed Jiang Bai found a white BMW car parked in front of him.
"We've found a car, and if there's someone, we can take a ride. Cai Zijun can be regarded as relieved
"Well, let's go over and have a look. Su Ge said
The three of them rushed over, and when they got closer, they found that there seemed to be no one in the car, only the rear door was still slightly open.
Cai Zijun was about to run over to open the car door, but was stopped by Jiang Bai.
Cai Zijun asked, "Why?"
"You can't still have a monster in it, I don't believe it... Uh, I don't speak, I don't speak. Brother Su saw the two of them glaring at him and consciously covered his mouth.
Jiang Bai motioned for the two of them to step back, although he was far away from the car, the smell of blood in the wind made him have a trace of doubt.
Cai Zijun and Brother Su believed Jiang Bai's judgment, so they stepped back, feeling that it was still not safe, and hid behind the green belt.
Jiang Bai grabbed the rear door handle with one hand, and a dazzling purple thunderbolt appeared in the other hand, and his whole body was illuminated by the light of the thunderbolt.
He took a cautious step back and gently opened the door little by little, ready to protect himself in case of danger.
There were no monsters in the dark car, only a strong smell of blood, and as a student who had just graduated from high school, he usually couldn't even afford chickens...... No, he hadn't even killed a chicken, let alone seen the bloodstains in the car, as well as the broken corpse in the back seat, his stomach was churning violently, Jiang Bai bent over and retched twice.
Just as he bent down, before he could check the car, two half-meter-tall black figures suddenly pounced on him. Jiang Bai's pupils shrank, and subconsciously a sideways backhand turned into a hand knife horizontal slash, purple thunder and lightning with a piercing sound stopped and cut off one of the black shadows, green liquid burst out, spilling all over the ground, and the upper half of his body still wanted to attack.
Seeing this, the other black shadow just hesitated for a moment and jumped over Jiang Bai and fled behind Jiang Bai, and the direction of escape was the location of Brother Su and Cai Zijun.
In the dark night, the two people not far away saw a black shadow attacking them through Jiang Bai's purple light. The sudden situation frightened them at a loss.
Brother Su was the first to react, took off his coat as a weapon, blocked it in front of the frightened Cai Zijun with his body, and slapped at the black shadow that jumped over.
The black shadow monster was agile and easily dodged Brother Su's attack, jumped on his shoulder and jumped towards Brother Su to protect Cai Zijun.
Cai Zijun's frightened legs trembled, and he sat on the ground. When the shadow fell in front of him, he realized what kind of monster the shadow was.
It was a black praying mantis, but it was hundreds or thousands of times larger than normal. The triangular head was the size of two adult fists, its black compound eyes glowed with ghostly light, and its body exuded a metallic feeling, and it opened its sharp mouthparts, wanting to bite Cai Zijun, but Cai Zijun dodged it.
Cai Zijun's face turned pale, and he sat on the ground and desperately retreated. Brother Su turned around, Jiang Bai got rid of the previous mantis, and also rushed over to this side.
The mantis misses the blow, raises its blade-sharp forefeet, and slashes forward.
"Xiaojun, get out of the way!!" Brother Su and Jiang Bai said in unison.
Cai Zijun's hands tightly clasped the asphalt pavement, the hairs of the whole person stood up, and the vague glasses revealed despair.
Seeming to feel that he had no hope of escaping in the face of such a monster, Cai Zijun turned all his emotions into anger.
He no longer cowered like before and retreated like a coward, the anger in his eyes sitting on the ground seemed to be about to overflow, his teeth creaked, and the rain on the trees had turned into ice particles before it fell, and the asphalt road full of water had been frozen into hard ice, and the demonic beast that originally wanted to kill Cai Zijun suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the monster turned its head and began to run away, but the speed became slower and slower, and gradually, it seemed that the joints could not move quickly, and every time it moved, it would make a creaking sound, and finally it became an ice sculpture motionless, and its original metallic body was also covered with a layer of white ice veil.
Cai Zijun, who was furious, smashed the mantis in the face with a punch, "You also want to kill me, that strange bird also wants to kill me, I will let you kill!"
The head of the "sculpture" has been smashed to pieces, and the tears in the eyes have been forced back again.
Jiang Bai and Brother Su rushed to Cai Zijun, looking at Cai Zijun's appearance, Jiang Bai was a little distressed and wanted to comfort him.
"Xiaojun's good temper and personality have been like this, let him vent for a while, and after so many years, today can be regarded as our first day. Brother Su stopped Jiang Bai and sighed.
Sixty years ago, a catastrophe plunged the world into crisis. A spatial rift about a kilometer high appeared in Central Asia and Central North America, and a large number of powerful demonic beasts came from that rift.
At the same time, every six years, several new spatial rifts appear around the world, and these new rifts are short-lived, but extremely dangerous. Such catastrophes lasted for sixty years, and hundreds of millions of human beings died in these catastrophes.
After each "demonic disaster", in addition to countless corpses, there are countless orphans. The remaining orphans will be sent to an orphanage in the nearest city, Jiang Bai and Cai Zijun survived the same disaster and were sent to the same orphanage, where Brother Su met them.
Twelve years have passed, and the three people who have experienced two "demon disasters" have been assigned to an orphanage in Xixian City.
Because of his ill-fated fate, he was called a disaster star by the people in the orphanage, and Jiang and Su often took Cai to be naughty and mischievous, so they were very unpopular.
Brother Su is older, his brain is not flexible, and he started working part-time after junior high school in a daze, while Jiang Bai and Cai Zijun's academic performance has always been among the best.
I still remember that Brother Su moved out of the orphanage with Jiang Bai and Cai Zijun, who had finished the college entrance examination two months ago, and all the members of the orphanage happily waved their hands to the three people sitting in Brother Su's taxi.
On that day, the director of the orphanage felt as if he was ten years younger, and on that day, Jiang Bai felt that the scene was like Gao Laozhuang bidding farewell to Zhu Bajie, the forest sending away the bald head, and the sheep village sending away the gray wolf. Who would have thought that today's Yuxian City would become the front line of the demonic disaster......
Jiang Bai slowly walked towards Cai Zijun, squatted down and asked him, "Are you angry?" We are all supernatural now, and there will be no more demonic beasts that can harm us in the future, and no one will look down on us anymore!" he touched his head again as he spoke.
Watching this scene, Brother Su began to recall his past. I'm twenty-four years old, and I've been living okay all these years. But every time I think back to my past, I feel that it is the malice of the world towards me, and I am not also full of malice towards the world?
In order to take revenge on society, he also joined a small underworld, and was finally kicked out because he was too timid and afraid...... I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of the stupid things I did when I was young.
Seeing the scene of the two talking was very warm, Brother Su also wanted to hug them, so he opened his arms and trotted the two of them away.
The two looked at Brother Su and couldn't help laughing.
"Jiang Bastard, I said that you walked so slowly just now, it turned out to be slippery, and you didn't say a word to me. Brother Su slowly moved towards Jiang Bai and Cai Zijun with a black face, and the three of them hugged each other.
