Chapter Forty-Eight: The Blood Scythe King
Is it it? It's still alive?!
To be honest, Feng Bei was taken aback in his heart, this place is not a short distance from the original mantis tribe, theoretically speaking, with the speed of Mantes's dragging his stomach and squirming, even if he doesn't stop for a moment, I'm afraid it will take five or six hours! In such a long journey, there are too many things in the jungle that can kill it, but I didn't expect it to dodge them one by one!
It seems that even though he is not strong, he can become the leader of the mutant mantises, and this Mantes still has two brushes!
After thinking about it for a while, Feng Bei didn't kill Mantes immediately, he now that the main quest has been basically completed, and there is a lot of free time left, he is somewhat interested in understanding the secrets of Mantes. Not to mention anything else, but Mantes can find himself accurately in the dense jungle, which is enough to arouse Feng Bei's curiosity.
Will it be able to locate those mutant praying mantises, or will it be able to locate myself?
Quietly watched Mantes step forward step by step, and after staying within a meter distance, Feng Bei's pupils shrank, and he said casually:
"Yo, it seems that you have had a hard time this way!"
Yes, from Mantes's scarred body, you can see what kind of ordeal it endured along the way:
It was blind in one eye, its mouthparts were rotten, its two large knives were all broken, and it was swaying and slipping, and its emerald green wings were completely torn off, leaving only jagged root stubbles;
There were seven or eight bloody holes pecked out of its long back abdomen, as well as two scratches deep into the internal organs, revealing its full belly of brown-red nematodes, and also showing how many birds and finches it had been attacked along the way!
The most tragic thing is that these wireworms have obviously sensed that the host they are parasitic about is dying and needs to find another way, they are wriggling and interspersing in Mantes's stomach one by one, trying to break through the wall and infect new magical beasts, several of them are almost successful, they arched out of Mantes's "back door", and dragged behind Mantes like iron wires.
This familiar scene made Feng Bei show a little nostalgia - this kind of scene of parasites drilling out from behind the ass was very common when he followed the missionaries of the church to help the poor, and many people in poor areas had all kinds of parasites in their stomachs, some of which were serious, and the body segments of the parasites in their bodies had broken through the clamp of the intestinal wall, drilled out of the body, and probed their brains near the "back door" (Note (1)......
Hearing Feng Bei's "concerned inquiry", Mantes's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Yes, thanks to the Holy Envoy, I had a good night, it was worse than death!
I dragged this remnant body to you just to ask you: What kind of grudge do I have with you? As for you treating me like this?
If you feel that I am in the way of your rule, or that my existence is in the way of your eyes, wouldn't it be good to kill me with a knife? Why torture me like this? Is it not surprising that a cripple like me will end up like this once abandoned by the group?"
waited patiently for Mantes to finish his accusation sentence by sentence, and Feng Bei just replied simply:
"Finished?
Have you ever thought that if you had this attitude towards me from the beginning, instead of pretending to worship me and believing that I was good at acting, the ending would be different?"
This sentence made Mantes's face directly distorted, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, Feng Bei just looked at it quietly, and after a long time, waiting for the other party to calm down a little, he asked:
"Since you're here, let's leave it at that.
First of all, how did you get here? And how did you overcome the difficulties and obstacles to get there? Don't say that you are lucky and talented, and then I feel that if you tell a lie, you will be directly broken into pieces. ”
Hearing Feng Bei's question, Mantes's eyes became extremely strange, and he asked in a strange voice:
"You...... That's it for the second question, you really don't know the first question?
You and I both have the 'Blood Seal' inherited from the Hallownest, and I relied on the mutual sensing between the marks to find your location!"
The Seal of Blood? What is this?
Feng Bei's heart moved, he was confused by the mantis body, and he didn't know what secrets there were at all. At first, he thought that this body was created by the system in order to let him complete the task, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, this body is more like the system found a praying mantis unlucky egg, directly erased the consciousness of the other party, and let himself have a magpie's nest?
Seeing that Feng Bei didn't speak, Mantes didn't know what his brain had made up, so he sighed and said sadly:
"I know, I know. In the eyes of you high-ranking holy envoys, it is only natural that we, the demonic beasts on the periphery of the Holy Nest, are not even lives at all, and will be ignored by you like dust. But ......"
Feng Bei directly cut off Mantes's words and said lightly: "This is not important, let's answer the next question." ”
"You!"
Mantes breathed a little, a feeling of being humiliated in front of him, which made it want to go crazy! But after comparing the difference in strength between the two sides, it quickly calmed down and replied slowly:
"I was able to make it all the way safely because I was protected by the 'Blood Scythe King', whose power shrouded me, and when I was in danger of death, the Blood Scythe King would release his breath to help me scare off my enemies.
Holy envoy, let's make it clear, the reason why I came here is also the meaning of the Blood Scythe King, it wants me to tell you that it admires you, the elite descendant of the mantis clan, and from you, it sees the hope of the rise of the mantis clan. If you can, it wants me to take you to meet it. ”
The name "Blood Scythe King" sounds like a bloody mantis with a giant scythe!
Suddenly thinking of the praying mantis he had seen in Ink Wing City, Feng asked quietly:
"Oh, take me to the Blood Scythe King, what's the benefit of you?"
Without hesitation, Mantes replied:
"The Blood Scythe King promised me that if I could bring you there, it would repair my body, cure all my ailments, and give me the possibility to evolve to the next level!
Please rest assured, seeing that the Blood Scythe King is only good for you, and there is no harm! You may not know the strength of the Blood Scythe King, to put it disrespectfully, you are very strong, but at least you are many times worse than the Blood Scythe King! If the King wants to be against you, you will already be dead in the previous camp, and you don't have to wait until now!"
"Oh! I see! ”
Hearing Feng Bei's answer, Mantes had a hopeful smile on his face, and just as he wanted to say that we should set off immediately without further ado, what caught his eye was a bright sword light!
Wind Sorrow's two knives came out together, and the steel slashing flash was urged to the limit, and it slashed directly on the top of Mantes's head! I saw a blood-red phantom suddenly appear, blocking his first knife, but it was split apart by the second knife that followed, and the second knife was inexhaustible, splitting Mantes's body in half directly from beginning to end, so that it could not die again!
A roar of pain sounded in the air! Above Mantes's dead body, a crimson phantom composed of blood breath suddenly flashed, and raised a blood scythe against Feng Bei, exuding an extremely powerful oppressive aura! After a few seconds, the blood shadow slowly stabilized, and intermittent questions came from it:
"You...... Why...... Want...... Kill ...... It?!"
(Note (1): Do you know what it is like for a mass of meat worms with to sway from side to side? Poverty alleviation, poverty alleviation, is really a work that challenges people's imagination...... )
