Chapter 60: The Praying Mantis

These eyes are well hidden, as green as two leaves in these two "plants", and these strange eyes don't even have pupils, they are so motionless with their bodies, if Liu Chang hadn't known about their existence in advance, it is estimated that if he walked past them, he would not have found that these two leaf-like things were "eyes" - let alone that this plant-like thing was a well-hidden attacker.

And if you walk past them and don't find them, there is only one end - death. At that time, no matter how dangerous the other party is, even if it is much lower than himself, he will die if he is attacked by himself without defense.

But now that he has found these two hidden attackers, Liu Chang is no longer afraid of them, and seeing that the soldier companion is getting closer and closer to them in confusion, Liu Chang hurriedly reminded him.

"Hey, be careful!" Liu Chang jumped out of the bushes and shouted, "There are attackers behind you." ”

"What?" The soldier heard the human voice, his face was swept away with worry, and he hurriedly followed the source of the sound.

"Watch out behind you, there's something behind you." Liu Chang reminded again.

"Something?" The soldier looked behind him and saw that there was nothing but grass and saplings, "What is it?" Where are you? Are you also alone? ”

The man asked as he walked, but he didn't know that a "sapling" behind him had moved, and it was moving as fast as the wind, silently.

Quiet as a virgin is the description of that "plant" - one second it was a harmless "dead thing" to humans and animals, and the next moment it suddenly became a murderous monster. As soon as the "plant" moved, a green light flashed, and the soldier, who had just turned around, lost the connection between his head and his neck forever - in a single moment, his head was cut off by the monster's sickle-like arm - and perhaps the speed of the decapitation was too fast, the soldier's flying head was not even instantly dead in the air, and in this second, he could still make an expression -

A surprise that originally found a companion instantly turned into a frightened expression!

And after this moment, this expression was forever fixed there--poof-

"!" Seeing this scene, Liu Chang instinctively said a strong interjection, and what was more instinctive and faster than his interjection was the crossbow arrow he shot with his crossbow.

Sou!

The crossbow arrow shot quickly, instantly slicing through the distance of less than ten meters, and an arrow was nailed into the monster's body.

Burst!

The sharp tip of the arrow pierced through the monster's bark-like skin with a powerful force, burrowing into its body, inflicting a lot of damage on the monster.

And after receiving this injury, the monster also turned its body to Liu Chang's side for the first time, as if it wanted to find out what was attacking him. And when it moved its body on all fours, it lost the disguise it had fiddled with just now, allowing Liu Chang to see clearly what these two monsters were.

There are two praying mantises, two mantis that are not very huge but look like they have exceptionally smooth body lines. The body is on all fours and the two "knife handles" are stretched forward, and even if it stands up now, it still looks like a sapling, and although this praying mantis is only half the size of a person, it looks extremely vigorous.

"What's going on?" Standing beside Liu Chang, Shen Mingyi had been following him and couldn't see the situation clearly. First I saw him and the little girl muttering, then I heard him shouting and the response from the other side, and just when I thought I had found my companion, I heard him shouting about some monster, and then an arrow was fired.

"Two monsters attacked the soldier." Liu Chang pointed to the direction of the depths of the fog and described the scene inside, "Two monsters that look like praying mantises, although they don't look big, they should be difficult to deal with, and be ready for battle." ”

"Ugh."

Before Liu Chang's words fell, the tentacles on the heads of the two praying mantis moved, as if they had captured the direction of the sound source, and then flew towards the place where Liu Chang was hiding at a very fast speed.

"Here we are." Seeing the monster flying, Liu Chang pushed the little girl away, and then plunged into the bushes himself.

And Shen Mingyi couldn't see the scene three meters away, so his movements were a beat slower, and he was swept to the head by the praying mantis shop in the wild.

"Holy!" After the two praying mantis entered Shen Mingyi's field of vision, the first thing he saw was a giant pincer like a sickle swinging towards him, he shouted, quickly dodged, and dodged the attack at a speed nearly twice as fast as the praying mantis, and then he instinctively waved the mountain knife in his hand, and a knife from the bottom to the top of the mantis's chest and abdomen without armor protection, and cut the soft part with a knife.

After cutting open the abdominal cavity of the mantis, Shen Mingyi then made up for it, and with a crisp "click" sound, he kicked the mantis into two with a kick along the wound, and the green mucus immediately gushed out from the inside.

"It's so big, it's so fast." Seeing this scene from a distance, Liu Chang couldn't help but admire.

However, admiration for admiration, his men's work did not stop, and another loaded crossbow arrow was fired, preventing the second mantis from launching another attack on Shen Mingyi.

And with Liu Chang's offensive gap, Shen Mingyi once again had time to free his hand, and his backhand cut the other praying mantis into two with a knife - as easy as Liu Chang killed the mosquito just now.

The struggle between life and death is sometimes really a very simple matter in a moment, life, or death, in an instant. Jungle fighting does not have the so-called "one move, one style" in martial arts novels, and there are no three hundred rounds of war in romance novels, such as a tiger fighting a sheep and an eagle fighting a rabbit, fighting is faster than you and more ruthless than you, that's all, nothing else.

"It's really amazing, I was expecting a fierce battle." Putting away the bow and crossbow, Liu Chang emerged from the dense fog, walked up to Shen Mingyi and looked at the two corpses of the two praying mantis that were still bouncing, and pulled out his crossbow arrows from inside.

"It's nothing, I react faster than them, and my strength is much greater than them, and you can contain them from the side, it's not difficult to hit them." Shen Mingyi looked at the corpses of the two praying mantis on the ground, frowned, and said, "These things are not very powerful, but the camouflage technology must be superb." You see, they look like saplings! In the previous era, I have always heard that the camouflage technique of the praying mantis is very good, lying on the branch is a branch, lying on the grass is a blade of grass, now it seems that this monster is much better than the previous mantis camouflage technology, even if it is dead now, lying in the grass, you can see dazzled without looking carefully. If I don't pay attention to them, I'll die, even if I'm more powerful than them! ”

"Yes, sometimes the best people don't necessarily win the battle." Liu Chang recalled the scene where the soldier's head was cut off by a "knife" just now, and knew that even if he was replaced by himself or Shen Mingyi at that time, he would not be able to dodge such a close sneak attack from behind.

"Where's the soldier just now?" Shen Mingyi asked as soon as he saw that the two on the ground were no longer moving.

"Dead, the body is over there." Liu Chang pointed to the location of the soldier he didn't even know the name of.

"I'm going to take a look, there's no monster around, right?"

"It's gone."

"Oh." As soon as Shen Ming spoke, he walked to the place that Liu Chang pointed to, and then saw blood all over the ground and corpses in different places.

Maybe it was the time when the end came, and he was also used to seeing life and death parting and all kinds of corpses, and he didn't react too much when he saw this bloody scene. After silently collecting the food and magazines on the corpse, he turned around and returned to Liu Chang's side.

"Do you know him?" Seeing that Shen Mingyi had no emotional fluctuations, Liu Chang pointed to the corpse over there.

"I don't know each other, not a company, I've met a few times before, it seems to be called Cao."
