Chapter 14: The Locust Controversy
"Mimic brain-dead praying mantis!"
Mei Jun gave a name to the big knife mantis that died just after his appearance.
Then, his body writhed, and he had already turned into the appearance of the big knife mantis, but... The brain is crippled.
He also wanted to replenish the body of this big knife mantis that lived for less than a few seconds, but the half of his head was already gone.
"Alas, this praying mantis has been hollowed out, otherwise Lao Tzu can grow. Mei Jun turned back into a human form, looked at his body, which was only 4 centimeters less, and sighed.
After two days of observation by Mei Jun, he found that this place would only open at night, and the hunters who had been hiding during the day had also come out.
At this time, he was standing steadily on the blade of grass in the form of a praying mantis, and occasionally a wisp of evening wind blew, and the whole leaf shook with it.
The moonlight shining on the verdant blades of grass adds a bit of enchantment, like a dancing girl on the street of the red light street.
"The hunt begins!"
Mei Jun changed back to human form, and only this form made him feel the most comfortable, but he quietly added another stroke to his thigh, which was a trace of the passage of time.
Tonight, he's going to hunt the hunters in this meadow.
Mei Jun's back twisted and changed, two pairs of wings spread out, the outermost was a pair of withered blue hard wings, and the inside was a pair of light membranous wings.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and his hind wings flapped, and the green figure was already streaked across the night sky.
He leaps and dances over the grass, looking for hunters who hunt at night, and he is the hunter who hunts hunters.
The green color of Penicillium itself gives him an extra layer of natural camouflage in this sea of grass, making it difficult for his prey to spot.
"Zazaza" is a locust chirping under a grass, and its huge roots arch out of the soil, and it is 4 centimeters in size.
It has a pair of super jumping feet where its chest meets its abdomen, and its naturally engraved light brown body has a long, straight elytra, but it cannot fly.
Although the locust's ability to fly has been lost, the pair of powerful jumps behind it can produce an extremely fast explosive force.
But the hunter of this locust came.
It was a 5-centimeter-long high-fronted white-footed spider that spit out elastic white silk and wandered among the dense blades of grass, and its body appeared more than a dozen centimeters away.
Seeing the enemy attacking, the tiny locust remained immovable.
"What is this the operation of a high-fronted white-footed spider?" and Mei Jun, who had already shrunk his body and hid to the side, was taken aback.
He had eaten a book called "The Illustrated Book of Arthropods", and knew that this high-fronted white-footed spider was a non-venomous nocturnal spider, but it also did not use silk to make a body movement.
Soon, the high-fronted white-footed spider approached the locust, and the distance between the two was less than 10 centimeters.
The high-fronted white-footed spider once again used its ability to spit silk, but this time it spit out the locust, and a cloud of sticky and elastic spider silk shot at the locust.
As soon as the locust's tentacles moved, its hind feet violently ejected, and a handful of small dust was released, and its figure was gone.
Seeing that the attack failed, the eight coordinated steps of the high-fronted white-footed spider were raised high, stepping on the dust, and the chelicera of the cephalothorax were pulled out at the same time.
Although it has no venomous glands in its body, this set of chelicerae evolved from chelicerae is enough to crush the small head of the locust into slag.
But the locust that had just landed at a distance of ten centimeters was still unmoved, and it seemed to be very confident in its reaction and speed.
"Poof" When it was about to approach the locust, the mouth of the high-fronted white-footed spider spit out a ball of white silk again.
But this time the locust did not completely dodge, because the white silk thread bloomed in the middle of the way, and turned into a dense net and shrouded it.
The locust, which was originally full of confidence, was stunned for a moment, and its reaction slowed down by half a minute, causing the elytra on its back to be stuck by the corner of the cobweb.
Then, the high-fronted white-footed spider slowly walked like a victor and circled in front of the locust, looking for a place to lower its mouth.
But Mei Jun, who was hiding in the shadows, just smiled slightly, because the locust that was stuck in the cobwebs was still not much panicked.
Sure enough, at the moment when the high-fronted white-footed spider lowered its mouth, the diamond locust's well-developed jumping feet shot out like a spring full of energy, and its powerful feet kicked on the chelica of the high-fronted white-footed spider.
Suddenly, the chelica was kicked off and fell to the ground, and the brain of the high-fronted white-footed spider was naturally affected, and he retreated.
But just as it took a few steps back, the locust's jumping foot kicked violently and completely broke free from the cobweb, and its body was suppressed, and it jumped onto the disc-shaped belly of the high-fronted white-footed spider.
Then, the barbs and hook claws on the thighs pierced into the soft abdomen of the high-fronted white-footed spider with strong bouncing force.
The high-fronted white-footed spider let out a violent scream, and it suddenly rolled on the ground, intending to shake off the locust.
But the locust did not let go of life or death, and its feet were deeply inserted again, and at the same time its feet jumped wildly, crushing the internal organs of the high-fronted white-footed spider.
But just as the locust opened its chewing mouthparts and aimed it at the high-fronted white-footed spider.
In the current situation, there was another sharp turn, the high-fronted white-footed spider actually abandoned the car to protect the handsome, and the body spun to shake off the abdomen, and it was even more ferocious when it got rid of the burden, and its backhand was bitten on the neck of the locust.
Generally speaking, the nervous system of spiders is concentrated in the cephalothorax, and the abdomen is only used for digestion and reproduction, even if this thing is missing, it can still live for a short time.
And the locust that was bitten on the neck, green blood seeped out of the wound, and it began to show weakness.
Just as they were about to bounce their feet out of the abdomen of the tall white-footed spider, the pair of jumpers were entangled in the sticky silk in the abdomen of the high-fronted white-footed spider and could no longer be withdrawn.
Seeing that the locust's greatest weapon was bound, the high-fronted white-footed spider was now naturally going to quickly resolve the battle.
Its chest and chelicera are raised high, and it is about to put this abominable locust to death...
Suddenly, a broken wind mantis arm pierced the head of the high-fronted white-footed spider, and then pulled it out again, slashing everything horizontally, cutting its head in half.
And Mei Jun was standing on the head and chest of the high-fronted white-footed spider, and the mantis arm in his hand slowly changed back to a normal arm.
The locust on the side looked at this humanoid creature in great horror.
"I'm afraid... Fear... Terror Homo erectus!" was the last sound of the locust.
It didn't expect that one day it would encounter the legendary brutal creature that stood at the top of the food chain - the terrifying Homo erectus!
It's just that Mei Jun doesn't have locust genes yet, and can only hear the locust calling in the "Zazaza" place.
"Noise!" Mei Jun scolded angrily, then stepped out quickly, slashing at the locust's neck.
Suddenly, green blood splattered and threw itself into the cold soil.
Because the locust has a hard exoskeleton, it was not chopped off by Mei Jun.
And Mei Jun put together the high-fronted white-footed spider and the locust corpse, and was about to devour it.
"Boom!Boom~Boom!" a... No, several uninvited guests came.
