Chapter 9: Crisis
The humanoid praying mantis discovered Li Dan's traces and walked towards Li Dan.
Its mouth was open, sour mucus dripping from its mouth, and its triangular head was constantly deflecting from side to side, and its two tentacles were constantly vibrating like a clockwork machine.
Li Dan was already frightened, and his ability to act was greatly reduced.
Seeing that Li Dan was about to die in Huangquan, Chen Xiao couldn't see death without help, after observing the environment and space slightly, he gritted his teeth and ran up, flashing in front of the humanoid mantis.
Noticing Chen Xiao's movements, the humanoid mantis quickly pounced on Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao had already prepared, and turned over and drilled into the back of a pillar.
The humanoid praying mantis suddenly lost its target and could not find any trace of Chen Xiao, and at the same time, Li Dan also reacted, covering the black ball in his hand.
The entire space became pitch black, and only a faint blue light allowed Chen Xiao and Li Dan to know each other's location.
There was only the sound of teeth rubbing in the air, which made Chen Xiao and Li Dan dare not breathe.
Chen Xiao hid behind the pillar, the blue light source covered his palm, and a little blue light leaked between his fingers. The visual perception of the humanoid mantis is very special, and it refers more to the movement trajectory and sound of the object, which is not perceptible to it at all, which is rare good news for Chen Xiao and Li Dan.
Fang Chen was hiding in a hurry, without careful observation, and now when he came back to his senses, he found that the hiding place was a very remote corner.
Not far ahead, there seems to be something.
Chen Xiao had the courage to take a closer look, and illuminated it with the blue light in his hand, and after seeing it clearly, he was so startled that his heart almost jumped out.
It was a bloody face, shaved from top to bottom by something sharp, and its head was only half a lonely, and two eyes stared at him.
A very permeating and strange atmosphere permeated from between a person and a corpse.
Chen Xiao's heart was furious, and he couldn't wait to leave this place.
He took two steps back, stepping on a long, hard object under his feet.
Chen Xiao tried his best to keep his voice low, squatted down, put his hand on the ground and groped for it, and gently took this thing over, only to find that this was a long knife with a narrow and straight body, similar in shape to the Tang knife on the net, but the difference was that this knife was made of bloodletting grooves, which was a modern industrial polishing handicraft.
He guessed in his heart that the knife should be this person's belongings, and that they were far from the first "tourists" in this space, and that others had entered long before him.
As he pondered, he felt a fishy hot smell on one side of his ears.
He turned his head to see that the humanoid praying mantis had already leaned in, close at hand.
I don't know when I found it.
In a moment's time, Chen Xiao retreated sharply, causing the humanoid mantis to pounce into the air.
"Roar!"
Now that he had been discovered, Chen Xiao did not hide, he used a long knife to pick the stump on the ground, and after selecting an angle, he quickly threw it behind him.
According to this angle, he can't throw it far, just hoping to attract some attention from the humanoid mantis and let him get out of it.
The stump arced behind Chen Xiao and swept past the humanoid mantis years ago.
The humanoid mantis perked up and quickly stretched out its hands, leaving a trail of afterimages.
Chen Xiao also took this opportunity to quickly touch the back of the humanoid mantis.
He let out a low roar: "Die! ”
Chen Xiao looked ahead, raised his arms from the side of his body, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and slashed down from the top of his head by inertia.
The Tang knife was held by him with both hands, and it slashed through the air rapidly, and slashed straight at the back of the humanoid mantis with a whistling sound.
Chen Xiao used enough strength for this blow, and according to his estimates, even if it couldn't be chopped to death, it could make its skin open and flesh open.
However, Chen Xiao's knife actually slashed with a sonorous sound. The hard shell on the back of the humanoid mantis was surprisingly hard, as if it were on a steel plate, and the Tang knife only left a shallow layer of white marks on the back.
"What a ......," Chen Xiao couldn't help but scold. If the blow failed, Chen Xiao retreated.
The lower limbs of the humanoid mantis were agile, and before he saw what it did, he had already jumped to the side and faced Chen Xiao.
A pair of big scarlet eyes stirred twice, and immediately pounced on Chen Xiao, no longer giving Chen Xiao a chance to react.
Chen Xiao subconsciously used a Tang knife to rung.
Before he could stand firm, an overwhelming force came from the sword.
Unexpectedly, the power of the humanoid mantis was so great that Chen Xiao couldn't eat it at all, and the whole person flew out upside down with a knife like a broken kite, and slammed into the wall before stopping, and his stomach turned upside down.
His throat was like being poured with chili water, choking on his burning pain and coughing violently.
Chen Xiao bit the tip of his tongue, regained a bit of clarity, and rolled his body to the side in great pain.
A dark shadow followed, whirring in his ears and the sound of the wind exploding.
The hand of the humanoid praying mantis, as if it had turned into a spear, plunged headlong into the concrete, and the stones flew everywhere.
If Chen Xiao hadn't dodged, this blow would have pierced him, and I am afraid that he would have died on the spot.
Chen Xiao rolled by chance and happened to fall to Li Dan's side.
Li Dan on the side looked at Chen Xiao's embarrassed appearance and said eagerly: "Brother? ”
Chen Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "It's not an opponent at all, find a way to run." ”
"Let's go!" Li Dan helped him and wanted to escape together.
Chen Xiao refused: "In this way, we will definitely not be able to escape, and we will run separately." ”
"Hmm." Li Dan nodded, thinking deeply, and decisively left Chen Xiao and ran away.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaozhen couldn't help but want to scold, this person really spared his life.
He endured the pain and walked in the opposite direction.
After the humanoid praying mantis standing in place glanced left and right, it chased straight after Li Dan, ignoring Chen Xiao, and making Chen Xiao shout lucky, but it made Li Dan suffer.
After taking two steps, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think crankily: "Will that kid be slaughtered like this?" ”
"Death is death."
"I... Alas......"
In the end, Chen Xiao still couldn't bear it, and ran along Li Dan's faint blue light with a knife, every time he took a step, there was a dull pain in his chest, and there was always a feeling of nausea surging, which made him very uncomfortable.
Chen Xiao actually didn't know that if it weren't for the fact that his body had already been strengthened once, he would have fainted directly under this powerful force, unconscious, and now he was just a little uncomfortable.
Li Dan is doing academic research after all, he is wide and fat, and he is not very good at physical sports, and he is already out of breath after running for a while, and gradually catches up with the humanoid praying mantis little by little.
"It's over, my lord's life will be explained here today." Li Dan's heart became more and more frightened, and his legs became heavier and heavier as if they had been filled with lead.
The humanoid mantis raised his long arms, his mouth opened and closed, the smell of fishy smell overflowed from his mouth, and Rao is Li Dan's nasal congestion was also dizzy.
Chen Xiao was still more than ten meters away from the humanoid mantis, and the whip was beyond his reach.
What to do?
