Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Flying Mantis
The heavy truck moved slowly, but before it had gone far, a man rushed out of the side in a panic, with a look of horror on his face.
Gu Jing and Lao Chen didn't know why, and they were about to get out of the car and catch up to ask what the situation was, and then several more people rushed out of that intersection and fled in all directions, leaving Gu Jing and Lao Chen looking at each other in the car.
"Looks like there's definitely a mutant beast chasing them at this intersection, so let's go in a different direction."
Gu Jing immediately said to Lao Chen.
Lao Chen nodded yes, just wanted to turn the front of the car, a slightly bloated woman ran out of the intersection in a panic, she was wearing a tight skirt that reached the crook of the legs, a pair of high heels stepped on the ground and made a "p-o-oh" sound, seeing the frightened eyes of the woman in the heavy truck, she couldn't help flashing a trace of joy, she just wanted to run towards Gu Jing and Lao Chen, like a turquoise scythe forelimbs directly stabbed through the woman's back, penetrating thoroughly, and the forelimbs as sharp as knives were stained with blood.
The woman reached forward and grabbed at the air, as if she wanted to hold something, but eventually she hung limply.
There was a fork in the road in front of it, and there was a wall blocking the intersection where the woman and those people ran out from the direction of Gu Jing and Lao Chen, and the monster had not yet revealed its full appearance, but the green blade moved, pulling the woman into the intersection.
Gu Jing seized the opportunity and threw an innate qi identification technique at the turquoise forelimb, and a row of information surfaced in his heart.
Identification object: Vitality mutation flying mantis
Appraisal grade: second-order top level
Passive Skill: Thunderbolt Cross Slash (Cross Slash attack with two blades at a very fast speed)
Identification Description: This is a turquoise mantis that has mutated in the environment of vitality. Its speed is extremely fast, a pair of wings can make the flying mantis as fast as lightning, and a pair of blades are unusually sharp, sharpening iron like clay, and it is actually the top assassin among the killers.
Second-order top? This level is not much trouble for Gu Jing today, and it can be killed with some effort, but the problem is that this second-order top-level mutant beast is not a cat or dog, but an insect mantis. Not only does it have an advantage in speed, but it can also fly, especially its pair of blades, and its attack power is really not to be underestimated.
If that woman hadn't died, Gu Jing might have come forward to save her with compassion, but if she was stabbed like this, she would definitely not survive, but Gu Jing didn't want to make any more trouble.
But the woman obviously couldn't satisfy the appetite of the flying mantis, and after a while, the flying mantis quietly appeared in the middle of the fork, and a pair of turquoise eyes looked straight at the heavy truck, to be precise, looking at Gu Jing and Lao Chen in the truck, it was obvious that it was staring at Gu Jing and the two of them again.
Seeing this, Gu Jing knew that he couldn't be good, it was okay to resist the claws of zombies with the defense of a heavy truck, and in front of the blade of the flying mantis, it was as fragile as a piece of paper. Opening the car door and jumping out of the car lightly, Gu Jing confronted the Flying Mantis with the Heavenly Sword in his hand.
Lao Chen sat in the driver's seat and did not panic like at the beginning, but calmly looked at the scene in front of him, after getting along for two days, he also had some understanding of Gu Jing's character, knowing that Gu Jing would not do things that he was not sure of, and his persuasion before was just a superfluous move, and there was always a guard against that in case.
The praying mantis is a very timing-ready insect and a real predator in the insect kingdom. As the old saying goes, there is a saying that the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch in the back, although the ultimate winner is the yellow finch, but it also proves from the side that the mantis hunts with high scheming, not to mention that now is the era of the big bang, if the yellow finch and the praying mantis are put together, it is still unknown who will live or die.
The flying mantis stood still, its back limbs firmly attached to the ground, its turquoise body slightly low, the front pair of blade limbs slightly raised, and the side was covered with fine and dense spikes, just one glance was enough to make people chill.
Of course, this object of fear is only limited to ordinary people, Gu Jing will naturally not be afraid, Dugu Jiujian pays attention to the first come, where the flaws in attacking the enemy are, so Gu Jing is not in a hurry at all, and is very patient waiting for the Flying Mantis to strike first.
The air was inexplicably quiet, the atmosphere became eerie, a cool breeze blew, and a few yellow fallen leaves drifted down.
A green shadow flashed in front of him, and the four-legged force of the hind limbs of the flying mantis suddenly shot out, and when it came to wisdom and patience, the mutant beast was still no match for humans after all.
Gu Jing stabbed out with a sword unhurriedly, and the direction pointed by the tip of the sword was the triangular turquoise head of the Flying Mantis, attacking instead of defending, before the pair of blades of the Flying Mantis dismantled Gu Jing into eight pieces, Gu Jing's Heavenly Sword would definitely be able to poke out a hole in the head of the Flying Mantis.
The Flying Mantis also knew this, but it still didn't retreat, and when the tip of the sword was about to stab, it slyly turned its head to the side, and at the same time, its body turned to the left side, and a pair of bladed limbs slashed diagonally towards Gu Jing's shoulders.
However, how could the Dugu Nine Sword be so easy to match, the Heavenly Sword in Gu Jing's hand was like sticking to the Flying Mantis, the Flying Mantis dodged but it was not as fast as the Heavenly Sword in Gu Jing's hand, and the Heavenly Sword followed the momentum, slashing at its slender neck in front of the Flying Mantis's blade.
The latter had no choice but to withdraw a pair of blades to block, and the Flying Mantis pumped up and the two struck each other, making a crisp sound of metal colliding, the Flying Mantis's blades were unhindered, and Gu Jing's Heavenly Sword was not damaged, and the two were faintly showing a comparable situation.
Seeing that the blow missed, the flying mantis spread its thin green wings behind him, and flew into the air with a trembling movement, hovering above Gu Jing's head all the time, obviously looking for an opportunity to swoop down.
"You think you're going to fly?"
The frog flag in Gu Jing's vacant hand flashed, he opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of aura and sprayed it on the flag, and the frog flag instantly turned into a turquoise light cluster and melted into Gu Jing's body, and then Gu Jing's feet were empty, and he actually flew into the sky, reaching a level with the flying mantis.
The air around Gu Jing's body fluctuated a few times, and several wind blades attacked the Flying Mantis from three sides at an extremely tricky angle, and at the same time, the blue light on Gu Jing's body rose, and his speed suddenly increased several times, following the wind blade in the middle and went straight to the Flying Mantis, and the source force in his body was transformed into the Heavenly Sword and entered the Heavenly Sword, only to see the streamer on the Heavenly Sword swaying, and there was a sword that was more than three feet long, which looked quite extraordinary.
