Chapter 43: The Underwater Mantis Demon
The situation suddenly changed, and the two formation disciples also reacted extremely quickly, and instantly sent out a connection technique, and a golden and textureless rope connected everyone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info[燃^文^书库][]. [774] [buy]. []
Almost at the same time as the golden light emanated, a huge black shadow in the river quickly pounced on the white-clothed disciple. The two white-clothed disciples came out with their swords, and when there were a few sounds, they exchanged hands with the black shadow.
Qin Han saw that the black shadow was also a mantis demon, but the size was far beyond that of an ordinary mantis demon, and the upright body was two feet high, and the two forelimbs that were like big knives alone were six feet long, and the body was extremely wide, and it seemed that he was the big fat man among the mantis demons.
Another main battle disciple swung out with a sword, hitting the mantis demon limb.
"Hiss......" The mantis demon let out a roar that pierced the eardrums, and the triangular head turned around, and a large red mist erupted from its mouthparts.
The red mist engulfed the two of them in an instant, and for a moment they couldn't see their figures clearly, and suddenly heard the white-clothed disciple scream.
Qin Han only felt a pain in the calf of his right leg, and knew in his heart that it must have been the white-clothed disciple who was hit in the calf by the mantis demon, and the connection technique had an effect. Fearing that the battle situation would be unfavorable, Qin Han silently recited the mantra, his whole body was full of energy, and his right hand probed to the river, and more than ten green vines broke through the ground in an instant.
"Ah......" The white-clothed disciple screamed again and again, the mantis demon was short, and one limb hooked him deadly, as if he wanted to drag the white-clothed disciple underwater.
Qin Han was shocked, and hurriedly controlled the green vine to shoot out, wanting to entangle the white-clothed disciple.
With two smacks, Qingteng wrapped around the legs of the white-clothed disciple, but the mantis demon was powerful, and then it snapped twice and broke Qingteng, and his body slammed into the water, causing the waves to splash and disappear in the blink of an eye.
The situation was critical, Qin Han only had the idea of saving people in his heart, ran to the river, glanced at another foreign main battle disciple, and jumped into the river in unison.
Everything just happened in a few breaths, and some of the newcomers behind had not yet reacted, and even if they did, they couldn't do anything, so they could only watch the white-clothed disciple being dragged away.
One of the formation disciples turned pale, and said to the other formation disciple in a trembling voice: "You quickly go back to the fortress to move rescue troops, we need support!"
Everyone rushed to the river, but there were only some blisters in the river, except for the red bloodstains, and they couldn't tell that there had just been a vicious fight here.
After Qin Han and the main battle disciple jumped into the water, they saw that the praying mantis demon dragged the white-clothed disciple to swim quickly to the bottom of the water, leaving a long line of blood in the water.
The river surface is only more than ten zhang wide, but the depth is twenty zhang, the mantis demon goes all the way down, the river water is quite clear, you can see the scene under the water.
Qin and Han released their energy to form a thin energy cover, and followed them downstream. When you go down to ten zhang, you can see that there is a hole at the bottom, and the mantis demon just flashes into the hole and disappears.
The two of them sped up and swam over, and followed into the cave. The entrance to the cave was the entrance to an underground pool, and after a while of the water came to the shore of the pool, and the two went ashore, and a well-built underground fortress appeared.
Dozens of zhang of stone promenade, at the end of the promenade are two large holes, which seem to separate two forks. The light was dim, with only a small amount of sunlight streaming in from the small vents.
Walking to the fork in the road, seeing that there were blood stains on both forks in the road, Qin Han was slightly shocked, could it be that the white-clothed disciple was torn apart and taken away by the two mantis demons separately? But there were no stump fragments on the ground.
The main battle disciple had about the same idea as Qin Han, slapped his hand heavily on the rock wall and sighed, and suddenly took out another cyan stone.
Qin Han recognized that the stone was the sound transmission stone, which could communicate with others in a short distance. Sound transmission stones are also very rare, and only a few disciples have them.
"We have found two forks in the road underwater, this may be the spawning place of the mantis demon, come and reinforce quickly!"
After finishing speaking with the sound transmission stone, the main battle disciple looked at Qin Han and said, "Let's split up and chase after each other!"
Qin Han had long wanted to split up and chase after him, but the newcomer should still obey the command of the older disciple, so he waited for him to give the order, and then replied happily: "Okay." ”
After walking more than 100 zhang along the fork in the road on the left, there was a three-way intersection, but Qin Han did not get lost, and there were blood stains on the ground as a guide.
After turning left and right for half an hour, Qin Han's eyes suddenly became brighter. There is a large square pit in front of him, the length and width are dozens of zhang, and there is a large brazier hanging every three zhang in the pit, and the brazier is densely packed with white balls.
Qin Han fixed his eyes and saw that there was a light green liquid dripping down those white spheres, and a faint fishy smell came from the big pit, the appearance and smell were exactly the same as described in the books, they were the eggs of the mantis demon.
The diameter of each egg is less than half a foot, and the eggs are next to each other one after another, and Qin and Han cannot estimate how many eggs are in the pit with a length and width of dozens of zhang. It seems that the main battle disciple is right, this underground fortress is indeed the spawning place of the mantis demon.
Looking at the piles of eggs, Qin Han hesitated in his heart, should he set fire to these eggs or should he continue to track down the white-clothed disciples? If these eggs were allowed to hatch, then I don't know how many people would die under the steel knife and iron claws of the mantis demon. But if he didn't go to save the white-clothed disciple as soon as possible, he would be one step closer to death if he was delayed for a moment.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone say, "Why are we doing this?"
Listening to the words is indeed the language of the human race, but the voice is a little harsh and very unnatural, Qin Han feels a little strange, but he is very happy in his heart, could it be a disciple of another sect?
When I looked up, there were only two ordinary mantis demons in the place where the sound came, and those two mantis demons carried a large basket with a horizontal log, where was the shadow of a person around?
"Wouldn't that be great? You won't have to fight those stupid little bipedal reptiles. And how many times have I told you, don't speak to me in a filthy Terran language!" said one of the mantises. That harsh and unnatural sound came into Qin Han's ears again.
Qin Han was taken aback for a moment, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart: "These praying mantis demons can actually speak human words? Why didn't Tian An tell me? This, this...... What's going on?"
There was no record in the books that the mantis demon could speak, and no one else told Qin Han about this, so he didn't know. But in fact, Youlan had mentioned it at the reception meeting of the newcomers of the Tianyin Sect, but Qin Han was asleep at that time, so he didn't hear it. There are some special praying mantis demons who can speak human words, Tian An knows this, Cai Shixin and Zhou Li also know, but the three of them have never mentioned it to Qin Han, because they think this is basic common sense, and anyone with ears should know it.
The two mantis demons walked into the pit, slowly put down the big basket, and carefully took out the things in the big basket one by one, it turned out that the basket was also the eggs of the mantis demon.
The mantis demon who spoke first said, "But why do I think this filthy Terran language is more like our own?"
The other mantis demon said: "Let me tell you a secret, in fact, I think so too, but there has been such a rule for a long time, only the boss can speak human words, okay, don't speak human words now, wow%¥......&¥#%"
The first mantis demon seemed to think about it for a while, and then said, "Wow¥##哇啦哇啦%¥¥......*%"
Qin Han saw that they were talking and were talking happily, knowing that he had no chance to burn the eggs of the mantis demon, so he gently retreated from the earthen wall and followed the white-clothed disciple along the little bloodstains.
It seems that the vicinity of the big pit is the habitat of the praying mantis demon, and it is no longer full of forks in the road as before, but many palace rooms are neatly arranged.
The strange thing is that the shadow of a mantis demon in those palace rooms was not seen, Qin Han thought about it and concluded that those mantis demons must have gone out to fight the human race.
The bloodstains stretched all the way to the end of the corridor, and there was a hidden wooden door at the end, and Qin Han quietly walked in.
There was first a corridor in the wooden door, and then three gates, and when he walked inside, Qin Han hurriedly hid when he saw something in front of him.
The fat mantis demon was standing in front of the wooden platform, with its back to Qin Han, not knowing what it was tinkering with. On the platform were a number of colorful ceramic bottles, its four short limbs fiddling with them.
On a stone platform not far to the left of the mantis demon lay a man in white, covered in blood all over his body, and made a low voice of pain, it was the disciple in white.
Qin Han was overjoyed and hid behind the door to meditate on a good strategy.
The mantis demon had been tinkering with things and letting out a slight roar. Looking at the strange patterns on those ceramic bottles on the platform, Qin Han finally believed that the mantis demon was a race with intelligence, although it belonged to the demon race.
After seeing the mantis demon for a long time, he didn't turn around, so Qin Han tiptoed to the stone platform, wanting to help the white-clothed disciple.
Qin Han slowly appeared in the sight of the white-clothed disciple, the white-clothed disciple's eyes gave off a light of hope, and his lips moved slightly, as if he was about to say something.
"Shhhh......h
The white-clothed disciple was not bound by ropes, but his whole body was slightly stiff, Qin Han was already a fifth-level martial artist at this time, and he lifted the white-clothed disciple up with a light support of both hands, and slowly lifted him away from the stone platform.
The upper body slowly took off, and Qin Han carefully lifted his legs away, but his body stiffened, and his right leg slipped off the stone platform with a click.
Qin Han complained bitterly in his heart, looked up at the fat mantis demon, and thought that he was going to be discovered now.
Sure enough, the mantis demon heard the sound and slowly turned around.
"Fight!"
Reciting the mantra silently in his heart, he quickly summoned the energy of his whole body, Qin Han's right hand was freed, and he grabbed forward, and the green blades of grass instantly surrounded the fat mantis demon, and more than a dozen green vines writhed back and forth in the air like snakes, climbing onto the mantis demon's arthropods.
