Feng Shui takes turns, and just now the protagonist with a group of subordinates is still in the role of hunters. At this moment, the protagonist already feels that the stiff hairs all over his body stand up, which is targeted by something extremely dangerous and terrifying.

The soldiers had stopped working, fluttering their tentacles in a panic, as if looking for a clue in the air.

What the hell is staring at me...... The protagonist struggles to suppress the fear that wells up in his heart. I already feel the danger, so where is the danger?

The protagonist struggles to keep his body still, and it is not advisable to run around indiscriminately in the face of danger. The protagonist moves his head slowly, sweeping his gaze around him. But he saw nothing, searched three hundred and sixty degrees, and could only see shrubs and weeds. The weeds are too tall and lush to hide the shape of the enemy.

What about hearing? The protagonist's hearing is basically at the level of the human period, but humans are not good at hearing if they don't come, and the hearing of ants is more used to feel the vibration of the earth's surface. Moreover, the wind howls in this world, and even if the wind is a little weaker near the surface, the branches and leaves of the shrubs rustle and seriously interfere with the auditory system.

Olfaction...... Yes, the sense of smell, the protagonist finally finds the reason to evoke the fear in his heart. With the breeze blowing on the surface, there was a faint fishy smell. There is no matching information in the memory of the protagonist of this fishy smell, but it makes him feel terrified.

The wind is blowing from the west. The protagonist no longer sits still, he immediately points his body in the direction of the west upwind, quickly shakes his abdomen, and summons ten soldier ants to his side.

Faced with an unknown threat, these soldier ants receive the signal and form a dense defensive formation around the protagonist, all facing the direction in which the enemy may appear.

What the hell is it, the protagonist curses fiercely. This is too bad for the years, and I thought it was just a light hunting practice class.

The potential threat was not hidden for long, and with the violent shaking of a leaf on a bush of grass to the west, a huge insect more than twenty times the size of a male ant landed on the ground not far in front of the protagonist.

The insect is slender and green, and its color is very close to the blades of grass, which also prevents the protagonist from judging the enemy's location in advance. Its huge triangular head had well-developed upper mouthparts, and its two huge yellow-green compound eyes were spinning drippingly, looking at the small group of ants in front of it. Its forelimbs are a pair of large, sharp scythes covered with jagged spines. The hind limbs of the six limbs are strong and powerful, full of explosive power. A pair of wings on its back had just been retracted, and it was with the help of these wings that the praying mantis jumped across a distance of several meters and jumped directly to the opposite side of the protagonist like a divine soldier.

Yes, it's a praying mantis.

Praying mantises, also known as knife mantises, are carnivorous insects that are good at camouflage and are able to hunt most species of insects, even small mammals such as mice.

The praying mantis is a large insect, and this one is 100 millimeters long, making it a large one in the praying mantis family. Standing in front of the protagonist and the ten soldier ants is as great as the contrast between a human being and a ten-story building.

The protagonist soon discovers the source of the fishy smell he smells - the scythe on the left side of the praying mantis is tightly clamped with a dead male ant, the male ant's head has been gnawed off, but seeing his half-length wings, the protagonist confirms his identity.

This is a male ant who went to the ground with him to practice directing the hunting of ant colonies, and he didn't expect that he had died in the mouth of the mantis after only a short time of separation. The praying mantis came from the west, and this male ant also happened to be acting to the west of the protagonist, which can only be said to be unlucky.

None of the soldier ants around the dead male ant can be seen, and the male ant, which is the object of protection, enjoys the protection of the soldier ant, and will inevitably fall into such a fate.

Thinking of this, the protagonist felt a chill in his heart, even if he was surrounded by ten soldier ants, could he escape the attack of the praying mantis?

This gap in combat effectiveness is simply for eleven bare-handed humans to face a monster that only exists in movies, and there will be no superheroes to save the world.

After the praying mantis landed, it did not attack immediately, but looked at the group of ants unhurriedly, and at the same time slowly chewed the corpse of the dead male ants.

The soldiers around the protagonist show no fear, they try to raise their bodies to make themselves look bigger, and at the same time they vigorously wave their antennae and forelimbs, and the big crow keeps opening and closing, and the abdomen shakes rapidly. All these show their high fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

But after rationally comparing the strengths of the two sides, the protagonist is still pessimistic and hopes that a battle will not break out. Hopefully, the praying mantis will be full after eating the poor male, and there will be no need to hunt its prey again.

The protagonist carefully recalls the description of the praying mantis in the documentary he watched when he was a child, and vaguely remembers that the praying mantis mainly relies on camouflage to ambush its prey, and rarely swaggers in front of the prey before attacking. Maybe this praying mantis is just going for a walk, and the protagonist can only comfort himself in this way.

The protagonist sadly discovers that, as a group, ants are at the top of the food chain and the nemesis of all insects. But when there is only one ant or a small swarm, this giant praying mantis tells the protagonist who is the king at the top of the food chain in terms of individual strength.

Just as a pack of hunters can defeat a pack of lions, the lions of the African savannah know the hunters who want to hide from the hunt. But when a lion faces a hunter, the situation is immediately reversed.

And this time, the protagonist is the absolute underdog.

The protagonist's pitiful hopes are quickly dashed. I saw that the praying mantis swallowed the male ant's carcass in three or two bites. Then a fierce light appeared in his huge compound eyes with a triangular head, and he stared at the protagonist tightly.
