didn't let Wang Xiaoyu waste his efforts, and after nearly 30 minutes of hard trying, this stupid red-headed cricket finally realized that Wang Xiaoyu, a big green insect, might not want to eat him, and began to listen to Wang Xiaoyu's orders.

After another 30 minutes of training, the red-headed cricket was finally able to fully carry out Wang Xiaoyu's orders.

As the sky grew darker after sunset, Wang Xiaoyu began to implement his plan.

Although Wang Xiaoyu himself can also act as bait, he will not risk his life, because it is not impossible for hunters to break through the cobwebs and retreat, such as large scorpions, snakes and lizards can break his silk thread, and then he will change from bait to real bait.

The bait is enough to just be a red-headed cricket.

Wang Xiaoyu spread the dead leaves on top of the grass branches that had been cut by his chelicera, and then put the dead leaves of the red-headed cricket on top, and he hid himself under the dead leaves, leaving only a gap for him to observe the movements around him.

In this way, Wang Xiaoyu can wait for the prey to be hooked while eating slowly, and he can also use this gap to spray silk threads outward.

It didn't take long for the sky after sunset to completely darken, and the starlight began to sprinkle to the earth, although the compound eyes of insects were a little inconvenient to see in the distance, but they were still very sensitive to light, with the starlight from the dense woods, Wang Xiaoyu's eyesight was not affected.

The red-headed crickets that had begun to follow his instructions on the dead leaves above his body began to chirp, and Wang Xiaoyu began to chew on the unknown grass branches around him that had been cut off with their chelicera, which provided far less experience than the leaves on the trees, but it was better than nothing, and it could somewhat replenish the silk threads in his body.

Wang Xiaoyu knew that the long night had just begun......

……

……

As the sun went down, the stars rose, and the sky gradually cooled down.

The dead leaf mantis hanging from a dead branch felt the cold wind blowing, and it also came to its senses, rubbing its inverted triangle face with its curved elbow holding a brown scythe, the hunger in its belly reminding it that it was time to start a new hunt for the day......

With a huge body size of nearly 20 centimeters, the Dead Leaf Mantis has to hunt every day to maintain its huge physical exertion.

Spreading its wings, the Dead Leaf Mantis soon began to take off for a hunt in the night.

The dead leaf mantis flapps its wings and makes a huge noise, which can easily scare away its prey, and its flight speed is not fast, so it is very unwise to hunt on the fly.

Therefore, the method chosen by the Dead Leaf Mantis is to find a suitable place, and then ambush the prey that has entered its attack range in a daze, with the talent [Hunter Intuition], the Dead Leaf Mantis can accurately find the ambush location where those prey are easy to pass.

……

Not long after coming to a very ideal hunting spot, a prey appeared in the view of the Leaf Mantis, a small frog that was apparently unaware of the danger lurking next to it.

The small frog's eyes move rapidly, and then it quickly sticks out its tongue to catch mosquitoes in the sky, and its tongue represents the life of a mosquito every time it strikes.

"Ahh

"Yikes!"

The Dead Leaf Mantis kept hearing the "Worm Words" of those mosquitoes dying before they were buried in the belly of the little frog, but the Dead Leaf Mantis didn't have any special thoughts, it just felt that these mosquitoes were too small to fill their stomachs.

Hunting hundreds of mosquitoes for food in one night, the dead leaf mantis naturally doesn't do that, because it only needs to hunt a small frog.

When the little frog jumped up and moved again, the dead leaf mantis attacked like lightning, and did not give the little frog the slightest chance, it used the hook on the brown sickle to directly clamp the smooth little frog.

Then, while the little frog was still struggling, the sharp mouthparts of the dead leaf mantis bit the little frog's head, and the little frog began to eat before it died.

The dead leaf mantis was a little puzzled, it didn't hear the [insect language] from the frog before it died, because normally when it catches prey such as grasshoppers, those prey will use [insect language] before dying, and the dead leaf mantis actually intends to talk to each other before the little frog dies, and it really wants to ask the little frog if it is tired of catching those mosquitoes as food for a day.

The IQ of the dead leaf mantis obviously can't understand that the little frog is not a bug, and it can't understand and say the [worm language], so the dead leaf mantis keeps asking its questions until the little frog dies.

……

Suddenly, the dead leaf mantis in the carcass of a small frog faintly heard an unusual [Worm Language], which should be the chirping of a cricket.

The dead leaf mantis slowly lowered the body of the little frog and stopped eating......

"I'm a delicious cricket, come and eat me......"

"I'm very tasty, come if you want to eat mine......"

The Dead Leaf Mantis completely put down the half-eaten little frog, gave up half of its food, rubbed its small but unusually sharp mouthparts with the elbow of its brown sickle, and then swung its antennae on the top of its head that were more slender than those of the ordinary Dead Leaf Mantis.

"Delicious... Crickets, want to eat ......" The withered leaf mantis shook its triangular head and whispered in the words of insects.

The Leaf Mantis has a vague memory of the bug, but it still vaguely remembers an experience before it was [mature], and it remembers a very delicious cricket it caught at that time, which was a very delicious cricket that was different from ordinary crickets.

The Dead Leaf Mantis touched his unusually slender tentacles again, and this pair of unusually sensitive antennae was obtained by eating the delicious cricket [Evolution] at the beginning, and it also obtained the cricket's unique passive skill [Vibration Perception], and it was also because of this passive skill that he was able to grow into a huge 20 cm body that ordinary praying mantis could not reach.

The dead leaf mantis's mouthparts moved slightly, then spread its wings and flew in the direction of the cricket's chirping......

Soon the dead leaf mantis landed on a dead branch not far from the chirping cricket.

The dead leaf mantis was a little puzzled, the normal cricket sensed its arrival and should quickly flee under the stones, why didn't this delicious cricket escape?

The dead leaf mantis was not given time to think, because in the sharp compound eyes of the dead leaf mantis, a small black scorpion about 8 centimeters in size was rushing towards the cricket.

"Delicious... Cricket, my!! ”

The dead leaf mantis stretched its body, how could this delicious cricket be snatched away by others, it stretched its body like lightning again and stretched out its sickle, and then the next moment, it and the little scorpion were stuck with silk threads in different directions.

The red-headed cricket in the middle of the dead leaves did not move a single bit, and chirped again......

"I'm a delicious cricket and I'm delicious......"

"Alright, red-headed cricket, you can stop."

The Dead Leaf Mantis heard the strange hissing sound of the [Worm's Language], but it ignored it, it kept trying to break free of the silk thread, and it knew that it could get rid of it with a few hard strokes of this level of silk thread.

But before the dead leaf mantis could get rid of it, thicker and thicker silk threads sprayed at him from a crack in the dead leaves in the ground.

"Spider... Spider? The Dead Leaf Mantis made a puzzled sound, it had been stuck to a spider's web, but it had never seen a spider spew silk threads so far.

Its body was getting heavier and heavier with the spider silk, the two brown sickles were glued the tightest, and soon it couldn't move, and its sharp mouthparts were also filled with silk threads, and it couldn't even speak in the [Worm Language].

In its compound eyes, the black scorpion on the other side was also suffering the same thing as him, and it was also entangled by the silk threads that erupted from the cracks of the dead leaves.

Soon, an incredible picture appeared in the mind of the withered leaf mantis......

A green reptile wriggled up from a crack in the dead leaves, and it was only a reptile that preyed on them.

The green reptile slowly climbed onto its body, but the dead leaf mantis was bound by the spider silk and could not move in the slightest, and great pain came from its neck......

It didn't take long for the Leaf Mantis to lose his consciousness.
