Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Orchid Mantis

The silent night passed quietly, and the eerie atmosphere could not be relieved even by the battle-hardened super soldiers, and it was obvious that the spirit of the four Smiths was not good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the contrary, it is Su Zheng who is a mage, and his strong spiritual power makes Su Zheng have a strong ability to control himself. Stay alert for a moment, and rest for a night in the dangerous jungle.

After a brief deal of personal hygiene and breakfast, the 5 people got together to discuss the next steps.

"Everyone should know the danger of this operation," Su Zheng's face was a little serious looking at the expressions of the other four members of the team, "In fact, our enemies are not just from a few competing teams. Even more dangerous should be from the creature that guards the Blood Orchid. ”

"Is it that the treasure in the Chinese story has something to guard?" Cole, the black man who rapped, is always so clever, and much more stable than George on the same team.

"Actually, it's easy to explain," nodding at Cole, Su Zheng continued to explain: "It's not just humans who know the benefits of natural treasures, in fact, the animal kingdom is more sensitive to this kind of thing than humans. ”

"But it's just something, and if we are careful, it shouldn't do much harm," Smith said, disapprovingly.

"For example, the Blood Orchid," with the status of Team Smith in the entire Osborne industry, they are not qualified to know the specific value and efficacy of the Blood Orchid. In order to move more smoothly, Su Zheng didn't mind letting the rest of the team know a little more, "In fact, the effect of the Blood Orchid is similar to the enhancement potion injected into you, which is natural and has no side effects. To put it bluntly, we have to snatch the most important thing from the mouth of the fortified animal. ”

Deeply feeling how perverted the strengthened body was, as soon as they heard this, the four of Smith suddenly fell silent.

has already reminded his teammates that if he still can't improve his vigilance against the surrounding creatures, Su Zheng has nothing to say. In fact, the four Smiths were just guides and wilderness survival experts to Su Zheng, and Su Zheng didn't think they could be of much use in the face of the hordes of mutant forest worms.

……

For a whole night, the whole village and even the forest were silent except for the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. In the words of Cole, a self-proclaimed jungle survival expert, the team of 5 should have entered the territory of some kind of powerful creature or something. And this also confirms Su Zheng's description of the blood orchid.

"It seems that the Blood Orchid should be in this area," can deter the creatures of the entire area, and even expel the ubiquitous insects and ants, you can imagine the strength of the creatures that Su Zheng needs to face.

"Maintain Level 1 alert," the vigilant Smith thought for a moment and continued, "continue to turn on the temperature control system. ”

Holding a sharp mountain knife, he followed behind George, a black man who opened the way in front of him. Being in the dense jungle full of dangers, Su Zheng didn't think about continuing to hide the ability of spells, but it was really against the Glaive Broadsword in his hand that was taller than a person, so he had to take out a sharp Mountain Broadsword to stay vigilant.

"Attention," his keen hearing sensed the rustle of large creatures rubbing against tree trunks and fallen leaves directly ahead, Su Zheng hurriedly stopped, "There is a situation ahead, stay vigilant." ”

As soon as he hid his body, a huge praying mantis with a faint red glow appeared in place. Closing the narrow transparent wings behind him, the short tentacles trembled slightly, and a pair of huge dark green compound eyes were embedded in the triangular insect face, looking dark and cold. The soft neck drives the stiff armor, and the triangular head is twisted flexibly. The pink sickle foot was like a giant machete, a meter long, and the spikes of the blade shone with a cold light.

"This is the Orchid Mantis?" exchanged a look with Smith, who was hiding beside him, and the mercenary captain shone with a shocking look.

"Be careful", there was a hurried prompt in his ears, and a cold edge was like a little cold light, frantically attacking Su Zheng's position.

Before he could raise the knife above his head, the pink sickle foot had already slashed at Su Zheng's body.

"When~" The sound of steel striking each other spread all around, and it was split down from top to bottom by a powerful force, and Su Zheng's upright body was half-buried in the soil.

The entire arm was completely numb, and seeing that he couldn't dodge the pale red sickle foot that swept over, Su Zheng quickly lifted the hiding of the equipment.

"Da ......", the characteristic burst bullet was frantically fired at the huge mantis by four machine guns, and the heavy insect armor could block the continuous fire of the bullet, but it could not avoid the explosion caused by the bullet on the body.

"Squeak ......", a terrible scream resounded throughout the woods, instantly masking the dense gunfire.

Su Zheng, who was embarrassed by the sneak attack, saw that the orchid mantis was beaten and retreated, and a level 3 lightning attack slammed into the head of the triangle.

After the loud "boom", the huge praying mantis has been carbonized above its neck. There are two deep black holes in the location of the dark green compound eyes, emitting faint black smoke.

Four pairs of shocked eyes looked at Su Zheng in a magic robe, but they didn't expect this transvestite young man to really master the ability of magic.

"In this world, there are actually many things that transcend common sense, but at your level, they can't be touched for the time being." casually explained to the four people who were in a state of mind, "I'll understand it slowly in the future." ”

Using the bladed mountain knife to cut open the soft belly of the praying mantis, Su Zheng directly stuffed what was suspected to be an insect heart into the large test tube that he had just taken out.

"Get out of here quickly," he said, leading the way out of this messy battlefield.

……

A flying aircraft carrier hidden 10,000 meters above the Pacific Ocean, with a huge Black Hawk logo spewting out from its huge deck.

The busy command center is busy but orderly.

"Sir, a violent energy response detected", says Maria, sitting in front of the surveillance screen. Hill suddenly turned around and reported to the commander behind him the signal that the surveillance satellite had just sent back.

"Where?" Nick Fury, who is bald-headed, one-eyed, and has a fierce face, if he is not promoted to the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I believe that even if he mixes with the underworld, he will definitely be a hegemon.

Moving the contents of the small screen in front of you to the huge screen in the center of the bridge, a flickering purple spot of light appears on the huge map. The picture gradually zoomed in, "The jungle of Malaysia, Borneo, that is, the position of the blood orchid in this competition," knowing that his commander could also understand it, but out of professional caution, the level 9 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. still repeated the introduction.

"Which company does you belong to, and who exactly?"

"Osborne Industries, Su Zheng!" With a quick keystroke, it was a breeze to get to know the whereabouts and locations of the squads as the overseers of the operation.

"It's William. Baker's family? Looking at the faint figure on the screen with a bit of a headache, Nick Fury had a bit of a headache. The sandman with great abilities has a lot of brains, and his prejudice against S.H.I.E.L.D. obviously comes from some hateful bad mouths.

"William, to be exact. Baker's daughter's boyfriend," teased Agent 9 with a slight humor, thinking of the middle-aged white man who could turn into sand all over his body, "if nothing else, the Sandman's son-in-law." ”

"Deduct Coles's salary for 3 months," apparently thinking of something that had been overlooked before, and that such a character had been missed because of the negligence of his favorite general, "and then let him look at it himself." ”

……

Su Zheng, who didn't realize that his identity was exposed, followed the footsteps of George, a jungle survival expert, and found a hidden cave. Sprayed with a potion to eliminate the smell, the team of 5 people began to rest for a while.

"Through a simple analysis, I can be sure that that thing just now is the common orchid mantis in the jungle here," George knows a lot about the creatures in the jungle all year round, "but usually the orchid mantis is only 15 centimeters long, and this guy can be 2 meters long." ”

"It should be," the content of the speech attracted the attention of the other four people, and Su Zheng had more expectations for the function of the blood orchid, "As long as the blood orchid is consumed, ordinary insects grow to 2 meters, which is very common." Compared with the 30-40 meter long forest worm, the insect of about 2 meters is indeed not big, "but it is thousands of times larger than the original", Su Zheng thought to himself.

"If the praying mantis just now was affected by the blood orchid, then if you go in the direction where the praying mantis came, there will probably be a clue to the blood orchid", was frightened by the huge orchid mantis, even as a battle-hardened warrior, the black Cole was a little tired of this mission, and only hoped to end this bad journey quickly.

"It should be like this," in line with his own thoughts, just as Su was about to open his mouth to order, Smith next to him spoke up: "Gentlemen, do you really think that there are only beautiful flowers waiting in front of us?" ”

was said like this, and Su Zheng also reacted. To be able to shock the entire forest without a trace of insects and birds, it is obviously impossible to rely on just one powerful praying mantis. If there are more mutant bugs like the one just now, the only thing that the team of 5 people can do is to add food to the big bugs.

Suddenly, the whole team fell silent, and it was clear that everyone in the room was smart.

"I have two remote-controlled drones here, let's go ahead and explore the way first", said the team's expert in electronics, Chinese David. Plum.

Taking out the drone that had been disassembled into parts from his bag, seeing David skillfully assembling a small plane with four propellers, Su Zheng, who was staring dryly, had to sit at the entrance of the cave and act as a guard.

A level 24 mage could have recruited 5 centipedes to level up. But only the map of Beachy Province was opened, so that Su Zheng's level 3 temptation light was useless.

Except for the first time he used the Light of Temptation when he first entered the Osborne Building, but then he forgot about this magic skill. It's not that the skill is useless, it's that Su Zheng hasn't encountered a situation where he needs to use this skill. And misuse this skill? Su Zheng didn't even think about it.

Entering the dangerous jungle of Borneo, a forest environment completely different from the legendary world, Su Zheng was quite uncomfortable.

According to his own lightning bolt can kill the powerful orchid mantis in seconds, Su Zheng estimates that the spiritual resistance of these insects is obviously not strong, and he may be able to tempt this kind of thing to be a baby.
