Doesn't the title smell of a pirated comic strip from childhood ("・ω・") "Hey

- I'm the dividing line -

Not to mention that Suzaku fled all the way back to the main nest with the remnants of the defeated army, and escaped by mistake.

Let's talk about this battle between mysterious ants and parasitic mantis, which is fierce, hearty, bloody and cruel, even if it is extremely rare in the insect world of the jungle.

The commotion stirred up here even quickly attracted the attention of the Flying Knights of the Divine Envoy King Legion who were monitoring the periphery of [Purple Leaf Li City] not far away.

The three Flying Knights quickly arrived at the battlefield and wandered, and they quickly noticed the corpses of paving ants scattered all over the ground, as well as the two sides that were fighting.

These flying knights have been trained to detect parasites, and the ability of parasites on the parasitic mites to confuse ordinary ants does not work for these targeted trained flying knights, and the flying knights quickly recognized the true identity of the mantis, and the flying knights immediately attached great importance to it - parasites are the key detection objects that the protagonist has taken care of, and so are the mysterious ants, and now the two have come together to fight, which is undoubtedly the highlight of the heavy and aggravated.

Afterwards, the protagonist who received the information was very surprised that there were parasites on the north bank of the river.

However, considering that parasites can infect many kinds of insects, the protagonist has seen ants, mantises, stag beetles, dung beetles, etc. If the parasite infects a flying insect, it can easily spread to the north bank of the Great River and beyond.

However, the protagonist also deduces from this that since parasites can easily walk to large areas of the world, they have not formed a huge disaster in the north and south of the river, indicating that this race is a compatible existence for the ecosystem.

But this does not mean that the protagonist will give up his attack on the parasitic ants in the swamp, which threaten his rear and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Back on the battlefield, when the Flying Knights of the Divine Legion arrived, the first phase of the battle was nearing its end.

The five mysterious ants have been killed or wounded, and it is only a matter of time before they are all wiped out. This huge parasitic mantis actually single-handedly wiped out a mysterious ant squad that dozens or hundreds of paving ant warriors could not match.

By the time the parasitic mites stuffed the struggling mysterious ant boss into his mouth and chewed it thick, the first phase of the battle was over.

All five mysterious ants were bitten to death, and the little leader was even chewed and eaten whole. But the parasitic mantis was not unscathed, one of its midlimbs was almost broken from the junction of the femoral and tibial joints, and only half of the dura was still attached—the masterpiece of the mysterious ant's jaw.

The parasitic mites lifted the injured midfoot up, and licked the wound with its massive chewing mouthparts, still clad in blood and tissue fragments. If it weren't for the fact that some parasites on its back were leaving its enemy's body and crawling towards the carcass of the mysterious ant on the side, the mantis licking its wounds would have looked perfectly normal.

The battle was not over yet, and the flying knights in the sky could see that those mysterious ants on the ground of [Purple Leaf Li City] not far away, although they had not been rewarded by the messenger, were alarmed after just a minute or two.

Hundreds of mysterious ants abandoned their mission to stay on the ground and frantically swarmed in the direction of the parasitic mantis.

The mysterious ants came quickly, and instead of going straight as against the paving ants, they split into two ways and surrounded the parasitic mantis beforehand, as if they already knew the enemy's location.

The parasitic mantis, on the other hand, seemed to smell something from the wind, and instead of licking its wounds, it stood up, raised its forelimbs high, spread its wings, and opened its mouthparts wide—a gesture of threat or battle.

The parasitic mantis does not intend to escape, it will continue to fight until it dies.

In fact, even if it were a normal mantis that had not been controlled by the parasite, it would not have escaped in this situation: it had been injured on one foot, and its speed of movement had been affected; Its wings are the same as those seen by the protagonist earlier, with normal hard forewings, but the hindwings used for flight are unusually short, as if they have degenerated.

In other words, this mantis can't fly at all, and on foot, its current speed obviously can't escape the rapid pursuit of the mysterious ants.

The parasitic mantis was ready for battle, and the four mysterious ants it killed also stood up and crawled to the side of the mantis after being invaded by the parasite.

The army of mysterious ants finally arrived on the battlefield, and they appeared extremely impatient and angry, and launched a direct attack on the parasitic mites and parasitic mysterious ants.

The mantis and the mysterious ant that had just been parasitized also met in reverse.

This is a battle that refreshes the three views of the flying knights, and both sides show extremely strong combat effectiveness.

I saw that the parasitic mantis rushed into the ranks of hundreds of mysterious ants, and the mysterious ants that frightened the paving ants were not taken into account by it.

At this moment, any part of its body can be turned into a weapon:

The six limbs of the mantis rhythmically flicked their legs in turn, kicking the approaching mysterious ants away, and all the mysterious ants that were kicked away, the incomparably strong carapace burst out, which showed the leg strength of the mantis.

Sometimes the front two legs of the mantis will turn into a kick, and the sharp hook spikes on the front feet can nail the mysterious ants directly to the thorns. The mantis will also use the hook-like structure of its forefeet to catch the mysterious ant, and then send it into the blood basin to bite and eat it.

The mouthparts that look hideous have no direct killing effect, and can only assist the forefoot.

The wings that looked to have degraded also often flapped violently, sending the mysterious ants that tried to jump onto the back of the mantis into the air. Although these wings cannot fly, they can also assist the mantis to make long-distance jumps, entering and exiting seven times in the mysterious ant colony, just like Zhao Yun in Nagasaka Slope.

Even the four mysterious ants that had just been parasitized suddenly became infinitely powerful, and it took five mysterious ants to match them.

But after all, there are more mysterious ants, and they cooperate closely, and after paying a certain price to eliminate the four parasitic mysterious ants, they began to encircle and attack the parasitic mantis.

After all, the mantis had suffered a leg injury, and its wings seemed to have to wait a while before it could again assist in its long-distance jump, and no matter how much it moved, it could not escape the mysterious ants.

The mysterious ant began to attack the injured middle leg of the mantis, and soon bit the injured leg completely.

Some of the other mysterious ants finally jumped on the back of the mantis, and were not unfortunate enough to be bounced off by their wings. They began to gnaw directly at the roots of the wings of the mantis, and the sharp jaws quickly snapped off the two pairs of wings by the roots.

Under the siege of mysterious ants, the parasitic mantis, which had been fighting for a long time, finally lost its majesty, and was scarred all over its body, and its wings and midfeet were bitten off.

But its hideous mouthparts and spiky forefeet are still extremely lethal!!
