Chapter 734: Natural Enemies
Xiao Fan's robe sleeves shook and he released the sword mantis without hesitation.
As soon as these more than thirty sword mantis appeared, the situation immediately changed, and the fifty or sixty first-order purple-spotted scorpions that were slowly approaching suddenly stopped there, their eyes blazing, staring at these sword mantises.
As for those ordinary poisonous scorpions, the appearance was even more unbearable, as soon as the knife mantis appeared, there was a sudden chaos, and they retreated one after another, crowded, and chaotic, and seemed to be particularly afraid of these iron-backed sword mantis.
Ji Qingsha couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw this, and said: "It is clearly written in the spirit worm sect's deworming technique that the iron-backed sword mantis likes to devour all kinds of spirit insects, it seems that it is really true, these poisonous scorpions are afraid of being like this......"
Whether it is an animal or an insect, there is a so-called "natural enemy".
It seems that the iron-backed sword mantis is the natural enemy of these poisonous scorpions, and many times, the natural enemy does not decide the victory or defeat by strength, but by natural restraint. As the losing side among the natural enemies, as long as you see the victorious side appear, no matter how strong you are, you should be afraid of three points first.
Behind the black pressure of the sea of insects, another scream sounded, and the chaotic poisonous scorpion was in a commotion, barely stopping the momentum of retreating, but they were crowded with each other, refusing to move forward no matter what.
Even that scream, listening closely, there was some indescribable fear.
Just more than 30 iron-backed sword mantis shocked the endless sea of insects, which was really much beyond the expectations of Xiao Fan and the others.
Xuanming Zhenjun stroked his beard and said, "This thing is really a bit evil......
But it was a long sigh of relief.
It seems that even the Yuan Infant Monk still has a lot of things that he doesn't know.
Compared to the frightened and restless of the purple spotted scorpion, the appearance of the iron-backed knife mantis is completely different. was so excited that he squeaked, and he didn't need Xiao Fan to urge. As soon as his long legs were stretched, he threw himself forward. The target was none other than the fifty or sixty evolved first-order spirit worms. For those ordinary poisonous scorpions, completely disdainful.
Those purple-spotted scorpions were still hesitating and hesitating, and the iron-backed sword mantis had already rushed in, except for not being able to fly, the iron-backed sword mantis's innate supernatural powers of advancing and retreating like electricity were not affected in the slightest.
"Uhhh
With a wave of the iron arm of the largest female sword mantis, a hesitant purple spotted scorpion was cut in half, and the knife mantis opened its big mouth, swallowing the tender white flesh of the purple spotted scorpion exposed in a few bites. With a twist of his body, he split another purple-spotted scorpion from it.
Other iron-backed sword mantis also launched a killing of the purple spotted scorpion, where the gray light shone, the juice splashed, and the purple spotted scorpion almost had no power to resist, and was split in half by the knife mantis, becoming a delicious meal for the big mantis.
The endless black poisonous scorpions, no one stepped forward to help, and watched those evolved purple spotted scorpions being slaughtered by the iron-backed knife mantis. They all retreated in fear, hoping to save themselves from disaster.
In the blink of an eye, fifty or sixty purple-spotted scorpions were slaughtered, and some of the remaining were ferocious. Wielding a large claw and tail thorn, and the iron-backed knife mantis to kill a group, and a small part. It was to turn around and flee, not even daring to rise up at all.
Those purple-spotted scorpions who tried to resist. Far from being the opponent of the iron-backed sword mantis, he was completely restrained by the sword mantis's natural supernatural powers. couldn't resist a few times, and they were chopped to death by the mantis one by one, and the essence was devoured.
In a moment, there were no resisting purple spotted scorpions in front of him, fifty or sixty first-order spirit insects, except for more than ten that escaped, the rest were all killed by the iron-backed sword mantis, leaving only some stumps and broken arms and dozens of empty shells.
The iron-backed sword mantis is not only extremely sharp in attack, but also has an amazingly good appetite.
Seeing that the huge purple spotted scorpions had been slaughtered, some iron-backed knife mantises that had not yet eaten were turned to attack those ordinary poisonous scorpions. Dealing with these small poisonous scorpions, which are much smaller in size and have no spiritual power fluctuations, the slaughter efficiency of the iron-backed sword mantis is higher, and they even directly use the wind blade to attack, and each wind blade can kill several or even a dozen poisonous scorpions.
The sea of insects is too dense, and any random attack will not miss.
However, it is obvious that there are not many iron-backed sword mantis that are interested in these ordinary poisonous scorpions, most of them are just pure killing, disdainful of the skin and flesh essence of poisonous scorpions, and only a very small number of knife mantis that are not full will continue to devour these ordinary poisonous scorpions.
The scorpions panicked and fled in the opposite direction.
At the beginning, these poisonous scorpions were fierce and swarmed in, but now when they retreat, the situation is even more spectacular, like the angry tide of the sea, surging out.
In the depths of the sea of insects, there was another sharp insect chirping, some of the purple spotted scorpions that were retreating hesitated and hesitated, and the other part of the poisonous scorpions turned a deaf ear to the sharp insect chirping and fled for their lives.
Hearing this scream again, the fierce light flashed in the eyes of the two second-order sword mantises, and they suddenly threw those ordinary poisonous scorpions aside, and rushed towards the depths of the sea of insects. None of the poisonous scorpions that were retreating dared to block the path of the sword mantis, and they all gave way in a mess. In an instant, the two second-order sword mantis disappeared into the sea of insects and disappeared without a trace.
A moment later, a piercing insect chirp sounded from the depths of the worm sea, and at the same time, a violent spiritual power fluctuation erupted. Judging from this fluctuation of spiritual power, the two iron-backed sword mantis encountered were also spirit insects that had evolved to the second order. It should be regarded as the king of these purple-spotted scorpions.
The battle didn't last long, and it was quickly decided.
In a duel between natural enemies like this, as long as there are no special surprises, the outcome is usually predestined. Xiao Fan could clearly feel that the breath of the two iron-backed sword mantis was still there, and the breath of the other two second-order spirit insects had disappeared.
Regardless of asking, it can be known that these two purple-spotted scorpion kings have also become the belly of the iron-backed sword mantis.
The sea of insects, which lost the domination of the Scorpion King, no longer had any hesitation, and retreated as quickly as a tide, coming and going faster, and before a cup of tea, the black sea of insects disappeared, leaving only seven or eight bones of the tusked demon beast Bai Sensen in place.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and they all felt a little like they were in a different world.
When the sea of insects swooped in, even the women of the Wuji Gate, who were full of confidence in Xiao Fan, were a little shaken in an instant. However, it turns out that everyone's trust in Xiao Fan is right, and at a critical juncture, Xiao Zhenren can always stand out.
After killing the Scorpion King, the iron-backed sword mantis completely lost interest in chasing and killing ordinary poisonous scorpions, and flew back to Xiao Fan's side, Xiao Fan raised his hand and collected them all into the spirit beast ring.
"Xiao Xiaoyou, where did you get these knife mantises? So sharp! ”
Xuanming Zhenjun put away the thunder whip, stroked his beard and said, his tone was very relaxed and happy. Seeing that he has fallen into a desperate situation, and suddenly the peak turns around, anyone will be very happy.
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "I found it in Qingnan Miaojiang, Spirit Worm Sect, my predecessors must have heard of it, right?" ”
"Spirit Worm Sect? Of course, I've heard that these Miao people who like to raise insects, although the sect is not big and they don't often walk around, their reputation is not small. Why, you found the inheritance of the Spirit Worm Sect in Gyeongnam? ”
Xuanming Zhenjun was even more surprised.
"Sort of, we were lucky to find the last sect master of the Spirit Worm Sect, and he also sat down in Miao Jiang after the spatial passage collapsed, and he didn't have time to retreat to other interfaces. These iron-backed sword mantis were found there. I just didn't expect it to be so powerful. ”
Xiao Fan didn't hide anything, and explained the ins and outs of the iron-backed sword mantis.
"Haha, it seems that there is a cause and effect in the dark, you went to Miaojiang back then, and it came in handy here."
Xuanming Zhenjun said with a sigh.
Xiao Fan agrees with this very much, he is very particular about the cycle of cause and effect.
"It seems that these poisonous scorpions are a tyrant in this desert, with this group of poisonous scorpions, it is difficult for high-level demon beasts to appear within a radius of thousands of miles. Otherwise, they would have been exterminated by this group of poisonous scorpions a long time ago. ”
Xuanming Zhenjun said again.
Chen Yang asked, "Old man, according to this, we will be safe in the next and will not encounter other troubles?" ”
Xuanming Zhenjun smiled: "Basically, it should be like this, we can move forward with confidence...... Still, there are some goodies here that should not be discarded. ”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the bones of the fanged demon beasts.
Chen Yang Bingxue was smart and immediately asked, "Old man, what use can the teeth of these demon beasts come in?" ”
The most conspicuous thing about these demon beasts is the two long fangs, no wonder Chen Yang would ask like this.
Xuanming Zhenjun said: "The big use can't be sent, after all, it's just the material of a fifth-level demon beast." However, it is okay to use it to refine high-grade magic weapons. It can also be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones. You didn't take the naidan and sharp horns of those horned lizards last time, so this time the fangs will be given to you a few girls. ”
This time, a few girls didn't shirk anyone, after all, they just took the fangs off the bones, not to mention how bloody it was. Those purple-spotted scorpions were really the most "conscientious" desert cleaners, devouring the skin and flesh of the demon beasts to the fullest, leaving not even a trace of blood, and the whole skeleton was clean, as if it had been weathered here for many years.
Taking off a pair of demon beast fangs and putting them into the storage bracelet, Ji Qingsha stood up, looked in the direction where the poisonous scorpions retreated, and whispered to Xiao Fan: "Why don't we go in that direction, the insect repellent technique of the Spirit Insect Sect records that the purple spotted scorpion likes to devour all kinds of poisons the most, and in the vicinity of the poisonous scorpion settlement, you can always find some rare spirit grass elixirs, most of which are highly poisonous." Now that you're here, it's worth a trip if it's not far away. ”
Xiao Fan nodded yes.
Since the iron-backed sword mantis can restrain the purple spotted scorpion, there is basically no risk in taking this trip, just to make a little detour, for those rare spirit grass elixirs, it is also worth it.
Sometimes, the spirit grass spirit fruit with high poison is also a good thing to use in medicine.
Fighting poison with poison has relevant descriptions in medical pharmacology.
So the group turned to the northwest, about a hundred miles out, and found the nest where the purple spotted scorpion lived, under the threat of the iron-backed knife mantis, the purple spotted scorpion was cowering in the burrow, and never dared to come out. Xiao Fan and the others really found several kinds of poisonous weeds that were rare in the outside world near the nest, two of which had been extinct in the outside world for many years, and even Xuanming Zhenjun had never seen them.
