The dark and deep forest is located on the west side of the Sifang City, and the location of the Sifang City is located in the middle of the Southern Alliance, with developed traffic on all sides.

Sifang City can be regarded as the transportation hub of the Southern Alliance, and basically all the teams and individuals who want to turn to the east, west, north and south of the Southern Alliance will stop in the Sifang City.

Therefore, Sifang City is a city with a large flow of people.

And such a huge flow of people not only led to the prosperity of commerce and trade in the city of Sifang City, but also made the reputation of the special source beast gathering place in the surrounding area widely spread.

In SAARC, you don't know the names of the twenty-four cities that make up the alliance, but you can't know the dark forests.

Because the Deep Forest of the Shadows is not just a gathering place for source beasts, it can be said that there is the most powerful race in the entire Southern Alliance in this deep forest.

And the strength of this ethnic group is not to mention in the South Alliance, even in the southern part of the entire continent, it can be regarded as famous.

In the legend about the dark deep forest that is widely spread in the Southern Alliance, in that group, there are not only many six-star existences, but even a few of them have reached the strength of seven stars.

Just this kind of strength that is circulating outside and showing on the bright side can already easily sweep the SAARC.

You must know that even the most powerful alliance leader in the Southern Alliance has a source beast that can only reach six stars.

In this group, the six stars are not a rare and invisible existence, and people can often see the existence of six stars in this source beast gathering place.

Even the Seven Star Source Beast, this news is not groundless, because someone has also seen it with their own eyes, and there is more than one.

Therefore, some people in the outside world speculate that in the dark and deep forest, there may be a source beast that has reached the strength of eight stars, as the king of this race.

Because of this speculation, the Dark Deep Forest has become the most powerful place in the entire south, and countless adventurers have come to explore.

Of course, it is not for this reason that many people come to explore.

The strength of the Inner Origin Beast of the Dark Deep Forest is so strong, under normal circumstances, it should become one of the few dangerous places in the south, so that everyone is afraid to avoid it.

But the reason why so many people still come here is because of the special ethnic group living in this place.

In this dark and deep forest, there are races rather than races, and this powerful group is the praying mantis race.

This is a group of mantis source beasts of countless different races, so the dark forest can also be called a mantis gathering place.

The praying mantis clan has a characteristic, they worship the strong, and only if you have enough strength can you be respected in the mantis clan.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, this powerful person did not take the initiative to provoke trouble in the praying mantis group and stained his hands with blood.

The Mantis Clan admires the strong, but it is not surprising that they are bullied, once someone makes a move against the source beast of the Mantis Clan in the dark and deep forest, then he will definitely be retaliated against by this entire powerful group.

The praying mantis tribe here has a strict hierarchy, from top to bottom, in order of strength, regardless of race.

As long as you are the strongest in this area, whether you are a five-star race or a three-star race, you will be able to get the maximum authority here.

The superior commands the subordinate, the subordinate obeys the superior, and the ethnic group obeys the king, this is the class planning of the entire praying mantis clan.

Regardless of whether someone makes a move on a high-level mantis source beast or a low-level mantis source beast, they will be retaliated against by the entire mantis tribe.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, and that is under witness.

The mantis clan has a special duel method, the source beasts can make an agreement with each other, and under the witness of the existence of a higher level than the two sides in the mantis clan, they will fight, regardless of life or death.

The rules of such a duel are that anyone can challenge each other, and as long as they agree and find witnesses, they can fight to the death.

At the same time, anyone can initiate a challenge, but if a high-level Source Beast initiates a battle against a low-level Source Beast, it must be agreed by the other party.

But if a low-level source beast challenges a high-level source beast, as long as it can find a witness who is more advanced than a high-level source beast, then the high-level source beast can't refuse this battle.

Of course, there are limits to any of these source beasts, and they are limited to the range of the mantis population.

Because of some races, the praying mantis group has a very wide range, as long as it is a praying mantis source beast, it is included in this range.

This also means that when outsiders enter the dark deep forest, as long as there is a praying mantis source pet by your side, in this area, except for other types of source beasts, the source beasts of the mantis clan will not suddenly attack you.

In the same way, when outsiders enter the deep forest, they can't take the initiative to take action against the mantis origin beasts that live here.

This is a country with strict order, which is very different from the usual chaotic gathering places of origin beasts.

As for why Deng Twelve came here, it was because there was something here that could further enhance the darkness.

After entering the dark and deep forest, Deng Twelve seemed to be a little lost, and hurriedly took out the map to the left and looked at it, and then finally confirmed his location.

This map of the dark and deep forest that I bought in Silvermoon City is clearly marked, and the location of the mantis tribe's gathering place is well marked with a pattern.

And there is the periphery, there is the depth, and it is also well represented on the map.

Crucially, the map also indicates a special place, located on the edge of the Mantis' territory.

That place is a stronghold of human beings in the territory of the mantis tribe, and the whole body of the source pet master who came to the territory of the mantis tribe to seek opportunities.

And these source pet masters all have one thing in common, that is, each person has a mantis source beast no matter what race it is.

And this is also where Deng Twelve is going on this trip, only when he gets there, can he smoothly participate in this opportunity to further improve the dark.

Along the way, from time to time, a low-level source beast like a three-star came out from the side and blocked his way.

And these low-level source beasts that were not of high level and had limited strength were all actively wiped out by the moon on the side before Deng Twelve could react.

At this time, Yue has been taking the royal essence blood for almost half a month, and his overall length has almost grown to a terrifying appearance of nearly three meters long.

With such a size, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can use it as a mount.

Deng Twelve looked at the lively moon on the side, such a thought flashed in his heart, and his eyes immediately became strange.

"Although the Howling Moon Wolf is not a specialized mount source beast, as long as it is big enough, it can still be ridden. ”

Thinking like this in his heart, this caused Deng Twelve's eyes to look at the darkness more and more wrong, and the thoughts he had became more and more tempting.

And the moon on the side didn't know what his master was thinking at this time, and he still wagged his tail happily, and his body kept rubbing against his master, which looked so unhappy.

In the month after taking the royal essence blood, the growth rate has accelerated significantly, and the strength has also been rapidly improved.

Now, although because it has not yet reached the growth period, Yue's strength at the moment has not yet reached the four-star, but even so, it is still simple for Yue to deal with some ordinary three-star source beasts.

Every time another source beast of three stars or less appeared, the moon would pounce on it, and the speed of the explosion was much faster than the usual dark fight, which made Deng Twelve secretly frightened.

It is worthy of being a four-star beast attribute talent source beast, and its physical fitness is obviously much stronger than that of dark.

As for the target who was pounced on by the moon, there was no doubt that he was pounced on by the moon, and the teeth that were still some immature in his mouth quickly opened and closed, biting on the target, and the blood flowed.

Although Yue is obviously still a little naïve mentally because of the maturation of the royal family's essence and blood, in terms of killing, it is unambiguous.

Even sometimes stimulated by the blood on the prey's body, he also shows his crazy beastliness and bloodlust from time to time.

In this way, Deng Twelve took the moon and walked all the way according to the map, and finally arrived at the territory of the mantis clan.

As for why Deng Twelve knew that it was about to arrive, was it because of the map?

No, no, although the map can roughly let him identify the direction, but it can't let him know how far away, and he only followed the map after seeing the iconic terrain.

As for why Deng Twelve knew that he was about to arrive at the territory of the Mantis Clan, it was because he could already see mantis-like source beasts appear around him from time to time.

You must know that in this dark and deep forest, except for a few mantis source beasts that have been expelled by the race due to mistakes or mutations, the rest of the mantis source beasts will live in the territory of the mantis clan.

In this way, only if a person sees an ordinary mantis source beast on the road, he can basically be sure that the gathering place of the mantis clan is near here.

In the face of these mantis source beasts that appeared from time to time, Deng Twelve was very timely to let Yue stop his crawling forward, I don't know where it was learned, before the battle began, he always liked to make such an action, like hunting.

And when those mantis origin beasts found that Deng Twelve had come out of his shadow and stood on the side, they also did not attack, but raised the two scimitars composed of arms upward, stood upright, bowed slightly, and lowered their heads towards the darkness.

Those who did this were all two or three source beasts, and after feeling the strength of the dark four stars, they knew that the other party was a strong person stronger than themselves, and they expressed their respect and respect for the strong man.

Darkness nodded slightly and saluted the same kind around him, which made Deng Twelve understand that this kind of behavior and etiquette was probably born in the bones of praying mantis-like source beasts.

After all, when he obtained Dark, Dark was just a mantis egg, and they stayed together until he was born, signed a contract, and grew up.

It can be said that the dark life until now has been carried out under the witness of Deng Twelve.

And Deng Twelve had never seen such a etiquette learned there, this kind of etiquette unique to the mantis clan.

I'm afraid that these things, like dark natural skills, are inherited in the bones and blood.

After Deng Twelve and Darkness saw these praying mantis source beasts together, he also took back the moon beside him from the source pet space.

Although Yue looked reluctant, after all, during this time, it was digesting the medicinal power of the royal family's essence and blood, and rarely came out, and this time it was quite happy to come out to play, much better than the place where there was nothing in the source pet space.

However, in order not to trouble, Deng Twelve still decided not to let other source pets other than dark appear in the territory of the mantis clan.

Soon, after Deng Twelve met those few mantis source beasts, several more mantis source beasts appeared in front of them, led by a mantis source beast that had reached the five-star level.

Data emerges.

Race: Swordsmanship Green Mantis (4 stars)

Attribute: Wood/Worm

Stage: Maturity

Rating: Five stars

Status: Healthy

Evolutionary Pathway: ......

Notes: A natural swordsman, his two long sword-shaped forearms can make even the swordsmanship of the swordsman stunning

The data about the five-star mantis source beast appeared in Deng Twelve's eyes, which also made him completely understand the identity of the five-star source beast in front of him.

"Swordsmanship Green Mantis!"

At this time, in Deng Twelve's eyes, there was only the mantis that was similar in size to the dark, roughly about two meters and three, and was covered in blue.

Its eyes were yellow, the same big compound eyes, the body was burly, and the two blue-green long swords of about one meter and a half in his hands exuded a fierce cold glow.

Behind him, there were also three praying mantis source beasts of the same race, with similar levels and darkness, all of them were four-star swordsmanship green mantises.

The four figures walked straight towards Deng Twelve, and when they came to the front and back of him, the group of praying mantis did not pay attention to the human being, but passed past him and came to the dark body.

The five-star swordsmanship green mantis stopped in front of the dark body, and did not make any movements, nor did it show any hostility.

Instead, one of the three four-star swordsmanship green mantis behind it walked out, the cyan color on its body was richer than the other two four-star mantises, and the two long swords in its hands were also more powerful, and it seemed that its strength was much stronger than the other two.

I saw it walk out of the group of praying mantises, come to the dark body, raise the two blue-green long swords in his hand, and stop in front of the dark scarlet compound eye.

"It's!"

Deng Twelve's eyes froze, and he seemed to have guessed what these praying mantis wanted to do.

Dark didn't hesitate, he directly raised the two black scythes in his hands, and collided with the long sword of the swordsmanship green mantis in mid-air, and burst out with a crisp sound.

After receiving the response, the four-star swordsmanship green mantis bowed slightly, and the two long swords in his hands crossed his chest in the same way, showing respect for the other party.

Darkness returns the favor in the same way.

The two sides retreated towards the rear, and at this time, the five-star swordsmanship green mantis that had been beside him walked towards Deng Twelve with the two swordsmanship green mantis behind him, and there was a body squeezing him backwards.

Deng Twelve did not resist, but followed their actions and retreated towards the rear, and soon, only the figure of the four-star swordsmanship green mantis was left on the field.

At this time, the two sides also put on their own offensive posture after retreating a certain distance.

"Is this how the mantis duel works?"

Looking at this series of actions, Deng Twelve also knew how that the previous action of the swordsmanship green mantis stretching out his forearm towards the dark was the meaning of the mantis clan inviting the other party to duel.

And Dark responds in the same way, which means the same duel.

As for the five-star swordsmanship green mantis that followed, Deng Twelve turned his head and looked at the five-star source beast standing on the side, without the slightest fear.

This five-star swordsmanship green mantis is probably the witness of this battle on the field in front of him.

"I didn't expect that as soon as I came, there would be a praying mantis to invite the dark to fight!"

Deng Twelve shook his head, a little helpless, although fighting has long been accustomed to darkness, but the purpose of his coming here is not just to come here to fight.

"Hopefully it's just a whim for them!"

Deng Twelve, who had to think like this, set his eyes on the field, and at this time, the battle between the dark and the swordsmanship green mantis on the opposite side had already begun.

Darkness still chose the way he was best at and hid his body in the shadows.

However, the swordsmanship green mantis on the field did not act at the first time, still maintaining the previous offensive posture, silently feeling the surrounding environment.

Similarly, in Deng Twelve's eyes, data emerged.

Race: Swordsmanship Green Mantis (4 stars)

Attributes: Wood (five-star) / insect

Stage: Maturity

Rating: Four stars

Status: Calm

Evolutionary Pathway: ......

Notes: Powerful talent is not the basis of its pride, victory in battle is a medal to be proud of

Seeing this data, Deng Twelve's heart fluctuated, this swordsmanship green mantis, such a strong talent.

The four-star race is a five-star wood attribute talent, and he has seen such a special existence in the dark.

"It's also an existence with five-star talent, dark, this battle, I'm afraid it's not easy!"

Deng Twelve said to the dark in his heart, and the dark who was immersed in the battle with all his energy at this time naturally did not hear and pay attention.

Of course, even if it secretly hears what its master says, it will not be afraid, because the battle of the same mantis clan does not allow any retreat.

This is the glory of being a praying mantis!
