A praying mantis, how can it name itself?

Secretly surprised by the wisdom of the other party in his heart, Feng Bei did not show anything on his face, and he commanded in a condescending tone:

"Lead the way, I need to see for myself the current state of the tribe. ”

Although he didn't know why, the great mantis obviously mistook him for the messenger of the Sacred Nest, and Feng Bei had never heard of the name of the Holy Nest, but that didn't prevent him from taking advantage of this identity.

The leader of the praying mantis, Mantes, immediately lowered his head and said respectfully:

"Yes, Holy Messenger!"

Then he turned and crawled towards the grass not far away, and Feng Sorrow followed him, and after a while he felt very impatient:

This big praying mantis is really too slow!

The body is more than 30 centimeters long, with nearly two-thirds of the length, and is an ellipsoidal abdominal cavity. The abdomen was so enlarged that Mantes's four hind legs were nearly straight enough to barely touch the ground, and he couldn't exert himself at all, so much so that he could only crawl.

Other parts are also very deformed, the two big knives are too small for the body, and the head is too big for the body, if these are barely acceptable, then its wings are really unacceptable, the twenty-centimeter-long abdominal cavity, the wings covering the back are only a pitiful five centimeters, not as long as the wings of the wind and sorrow!

In this way, its ugly abdominal back was exposed to the air, and it dragged it with difficulty, and at first glance it did not look like a praying mantis, but like a queen bee or queen.

No wonder you're hungry, with your agility coefficient, you haven't been eaten yet, and you're already lucky for three lives!

Although he was already a little impatient in his heart, Feng Bei still pressed his temperament and walked slowly by Mantes's side, he knew that he couldn't show his eagerness when doing anything, otherwise it would definitely add a lot of unnecessary resistance.

No matter how long the road is, there is a time to finish, not to mention that the actual distance is only a few tens of meters, after stretching out his double knives to push away the grass, Mantes turned sideways with difficulty, and said respectfully:

"Honorable Messenger, as you can see, this is all of our people. ”

Hearing this, Feng Bei took a step forward and found that it happened to be a small stone platform at this time, and in a pit with a large area below, there were many scattered and standing or lying ...... A strangely shaped praying mantis.

Yes, oddly shaped.

The size of these praying mantis is on the large side, ranging from more than ten centimeters to dozens of centimeters, and the color is basically emerald green, compared with ordinary praying mantises, their most eye-catching thing is not the body size, but their bodies are very uncoordinated!

Some praying mantis's double knives are particularly thick, occupying almost half of the body, and they look unusually heavy, and they can't even lift their arms, so they can only hold the double knives on the ground and use them as crutches;

Some praying mantis have particularly thick necks, thicker than the abdominal cavity at the back, and look like a simple tube;

Some praying mantis hind legs are particularly thick, and they can easily support their whole body, but the body supported by the legs is very small, which makes people feel very weird, as if a baby body is attached to the big thick legs;

The above are all relatively good, at least they can stand up, at least there is a praying mantis look, and the rest of them are more terrifying, some eyes are particularly big, and the two eyes are squeezed together larger than their heads; there are wings that are particularly long, and a peacock is like a tail behind them; there are even mouthparts that are particularly large, and they look more like scorpions than praying mantises; all kinds of strange appearances, and so on, if you don't know in advance that this is the "mantis holy land", Feng Bei still thinks that she has come to the alien nest!

In this way, Mantes, who greeted him, was he still the relatively normal one among these praying mantises?

After carefully observing the state of these praying mantises, Feng Bei's heart was actually half cold, he originally thought that he could still use the power of some praying mantis tribes, but now it seems that these praying mantis don't want to help themselves, thank God if they don't drag themselves back!

Forget it, let's try to communicate with these praying mantis first and see if there is anything to be gained!

Feng Bei tried to shout at a praying mantis that was closer, roughly expressing the meaning of "Hello, can you tell me why you became like this", but the praying mantis that was asked did not respond at all, and shook the tentacles on its head very blankly, and the triangular head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and looked at Feng Bei like this, and froze.

This......

Feng Bei can see that this praying mantis's attitude towards himself is still relatively respectful, which is probably the benefit brought by the "friendly" favorability, but it doesn't have much wisdom at all, and it can't understand the meaning of Feng Bei, let alone express its own meaning, so its brain is so "stuck".

Feng Bei chuckled in his heart, Mantes's fluent words before gave him an illusion, making him preconceived that all the praying mantis in this place could communicate, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!

Seeing this situation, Feng Grief turned around in this mantis tribe and had a conversation with each of them, but except for two praying mantis with very big heads, who gave him a wordless response, the other seventy-six all put on that ignorant look!

Holy fucking light, it's completely over now, if that's the case, then the main quest is still a fart!

Just when Feng Bei was in a tangle, Mantes, who had been behind him, cautiously spoke:

"Honorable Holy Envoy, forgive me for being rude, what were you just doing?"

"Let's see if they can communicate. ”

Feng Bei replied casually:

"I can only help them through the temporary crisis, and if they want to survive in this jungle, they still need to rely on their own efforts. ”

As soon as he heard this, Mantes immediately became excited, and even his words carried a hissing voice:

"Honorable Emissary, you don't have to worry about communication at all!

Although our people can't understand your words, they can still understand some basic commands. All of us Praying Mantis are loyal to Hallownest, and we will absolutely follow your orders as a holy messenger!"

Can't you command them to do something too complicated......

After thinking about it secretly, Feng Sad said noncommittally:

"Mantes, tell me why our people have become so ...... Strange?"

"Honorable Holy Envoy, all of this is the fault of the 'Evil Power'!"

As soon as Feng Bei asked about this, Mantes's emotions became agitated again, and he brandished his two large knives, and complained hoarsely:

Our tribe used to live well on the periphery of the Hallownest, without worrying about eating and drinking, and growing stronger and stronger under the light of the Hallownest, but one day, a group of strange-looking, hairless, but every day a group of strange-looking monkeys came to the periphery of the Hallownest and captured all the praying mantis of our tribe!

The hairless monkeys put us in strange boxes and shone the light of Hallownest at us from the outside! The terrible thing is that the light of Hallownest, which was originally brilliant and bright, turned into a dark, purple-black evil power as soon as it passed through the box!

As long as it is illuminated by this evil energy, it will not be long before the body will mutate, and this mutation will be completely immediate, sometimes manifested in the enlargement of a certain limb, and sometimes in the form of a certain organ becoming larger! Many people of the tribe have had bad luck, and the internal organs have mutated, and most of them have died, and some of them have even been squeezed into their chests by the rapidly expanding internal organs in front of me, and they have exploded directly!"

As if recalling the terrifying scene at that time, Mantes trembled with fear, and couldn't even clamp his 'buttocks', and the sheath-like follicles squirted all over the ground!

Mantes described it upside down, but Feng Bei still roughly understood what it meant:

A group of cultists who did not do good deeds captured the mantis tribe and made them experiments, and carried out inhumane mutations! This mutation seems to be uncontrollable, so there have been a lot of sacrifices!

However, in the eyes of the praying mantis, is the act of changing clothes actually understood as "changing a piece of skin every day"? Should this idea be said to be cute or terrifying......

After being speechless for a moment, Feng Bei nodded, signaled that he knew, and continued to ask:

"And then? Where did the big hairless monkeys who captured you go, and how did you escape?"

"Escape? With our body, we don't have any ability to move at all, how can we escape?"

Mantes shook his head and said bitterly:

"We didn't run away, and the location we are in now is the same place where they captured us before!

I can't remember how many days ago, and suddenly there were two gigantic of my kind, dozens of my own!

They smashed the box in which they were locked at once, and all of us people cheered at that time, thinking that the time had come to get out of the predicament, but the two giant praying mantis did what the hairless monkey told them to do, just like their slaves!"

Two of them?!The kind of mutant mantis I saw in Ink Wing City before, there was actually one?!

After obtaining important information, Feng Bei was a little anxious:

Dealing with a giant mantis will make the entire Holy Light Cultists in Ink Wing City do their best, everyone will be injured, and even their lives are in danger now, if at this time, the second giant mantis attacks again, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable!

I have to do it as soon as possible!

"The day after that, the hairless monkeys, cheering 'The experiment was successful,' and left with the two giant praying mantises, leaving us to fend for ourselves. ”

Mantes rambled on:

"Most of us praying mantis can't even stand on our feet, let alone any speed and agility, except for some caterpillars that move very slowly, we can't catch any prey, and birds and finches come to attack us from time to time, and there are not many people left who die quickly, until now, as you can see, there are only seventy-nine left.

Honorable Envoy, show us a way to live!"

Feng Bei did not answer the other party, but on the contrary, he was keenly aware of the strangeness in the other party's language, and immediately asked:

"You said that when those two giant praying mantis appeared, all of you praying mantis were cheering?

What's more, with their intelligence, how do they understand the language of those hairless monkeys?"

"What do you mean, Honorable Emissary...... I don't quite understand?"

To the surprise of the wind, Mantes did not panic at all, on the contrary, his expression was a little ...... Confused?

"I already told you before, we praying mantis have all been bathed in that divine light and intellectually enlightened on the periphery of the Holy Nest!

If it weren't for the influence of that evil power, every one of our clansmen would have an intelligence similar to mine, and this kind of thing, as a holy envoy, should be clear...... Right?"

As long as the light of the Hallownest shines, a low-level demonic beast can have the intelligence to recognize itself and speak fluently!

Feng Sad's heart set off a stormy wave, this Holy Nest is terrifying beyond his imagination! The reason why human beings can become the masters of the continent is because no matter how weak human beings are, they all have high wisdom! If this Holy Palace can erase the gap between the intelligence of the demonic beasts and humans, then it is difficult to say who will dominate the continent in the future!

This extremely evil organization must be exterminated!

secretly made up his mind in his heart, and the wind was sad and had a false relationship with Mantes:

"This envoy doesn't care about the daily life of you lowly beings, and now to answer my second question, those hairless monkeys have been gone for a long time, right?

Probably this 'image of the high-spirited envoy' was very much in line with the impression in Mantes's mind, and he did not question Feng Bei in any way, but immediately replied:

"There are many people who starve to death, but when they die, we also have food. By relying on the 'planned starvation' strategy of strict rationing, we have saved as many of our clansmen as possible, and what you see now is the strongest of our clan's ever, and the rest...... It's all in their stomachs. ”

When Mantes said these words, his tone was so natural, as if eating his own family was a natural thing, considering that the female mantis itself has the traditional ability to eat male mantises, Feng Bei didn't evaluate anything, but he felt some emotion in his heart:

Even with wisdom, there is still a gap-like gap between the worldviews and values of different species!

Seeing that Feng Bei bowed his head and was silent, Mantes said with some urgency:

"Honorable Holy Envoy, I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of finding as much food as you can for our people!

If they can eat enough and eat high-energy, high-nutrient food, they can attract the power of Hallownest in their bodies, dispel the evil energy in their bodies, restore their normal bodies, regain their wisdom, and be loyal to you forever!"
