Chapter 22: The Flying Mantis

Thinking of this, Yang Yang suddenly had a headache again. It seems that this place is really not peaceful, and there are twenty bandit tribes on the plain, large and small, adding up to more than 10,000 people. With this little paladin in his hand, it is estimated that it will be difficult to really fight, it seems that he has to find a way to co-opt these barbarians, and if he can't be co-opted, he will kill them all!

Yang Yang's eyes showed a hint of coldness, anyway, if this problem is not solved, let alone any development matters, but after all, the base is very large, and it is impossible to solve it all at once, if the action is too big, it is easy for these robbers to unite against themselves. After all, he is not a state-supported bandit, and he has limited troops, and these robbers must be ruthless in their eyes.

Based on the above reasons, Yang Yang felt that this was a big deal and had to be considered in advance. But listening to what Babyface just said, it can be heard that there must be a great sage in this group of barbarians, otherwise with the thinking of these robbers, they will definitely not be able to think of such truths. This person will definitely cause trouble for himself, and he must be cautious. Haven't barbarians always been a race of tendons? When did such a smart guy come out? Thinking of this, Yang Yang had a headache.

Yang Yang lowered his head and thought about things for a long time, and before he knew it, his group had already entered the village. An older old man with a white beard who was about to hammer to his navel ran over excitedly when he saw Yang Yang and his party, and almost fell down when he ran. The old man hugged Yang Yang's feet with tears and didn't let go, and said bitterly:

"Your Excellency, you have to save us. The lives of our entire village are counting on you, and if you don't help us deal with that demon, it won't be long before his village will be eaten by him. ”

Yang Yang looked at the old man's expression, and he couldn't bear to hurry up from the horse and hugged Qian Qian down. A group of children ran around Yang Yang from a distance, pulling his robe and swinging there, seemingly not afraid of them at all. Sissi looked at this group of lovely children, who were already overflowing with maternal love at this time, chatting with two children in her hands, with a happy smile on her face.

"Old man, don't worry. We're here to solve your problem, and the yodelers don't deserve to be so simple and kind. On behalf of the Celestials, I will help you out of suffering, and no one can bully you and threaten your life in the future. Please tell me more about that monster. ”

Yang Yang picked up the old man who was crying and fell to the ground, and listened to the babyface introduce this old man as the patriarch here, Yang Yang will definitely need the help of this old man if he wants to win them over in the future, if he cries stupidly like this, what is the use of him?

According to the old patriarch's story, Yang Yang probably understood. It is a creature with a long appearance that resembles the praying mantis of Earth, with two very long forelimbs, and the forearms are sharp and serrated with knife arms. It is very large, about three meters long, and comes to the village every day to eat people.

Eating three people at a time and leaving, it's been going on for a week. Now every family doesn't dare to go out during the day, they are very afraid of being eaten, and they don't dare to come out if they see Yang Yang from a distance. This monster will appear on time every day when the sun rises to its highest, and the time is about to come to this point.

Yang Yang heard that the time was almost up, and hurriedly ordered the knights to hide. The thing did not dare to come for fear that the movement would be too loud, so he sent someone to make a large net, spread the net under the leaves, and then attached the rope and fell on the trunk. Finally, two teams of knights were sent to guard the woods, and when the monster appeared, they would trap it with a net and kill it.

The plan was perfect, and the old man didn't object, and now he had the bait to seduce the monster. Yang Yang turned to look at the baby face and asked reverently, "What other relatives do you have at home?"

"Back to the adults, the little single one has not yet married. ”

The baby face made Yang Yang feel uncomfortable, and he felt furious when he saw Yang Yang show a malicious smile.

"Good, Warriors. It's up to you to save Li Min from fire and water, come on Dong Cunrui!"

Yang Yang beckoned John to tie him up and hang him under the tree, ignoring the baby's face and screaming unwillingly. Yang Yang wants you to scream as louder the better, otherwise the monster may not be able to find you. For such a sinister problem of putting the life and death of others at risk, Yang Yang comforted himself like this: How can you do great things without sacrificing? Anyway, if you don't sacrifice me!

The group hung the baby face under the tree as they had agreed in advance, and then sent someone to watch from behind. When the monster came, quickly pull it up to prevent it from being eaten, if it was too late, forget it, after all, it was worth it to save the others and sacrifice him.

Yang Yang hid in a big tree not far from the trap with Sissi in his arms, and the others hid in the grass, and then Yang Yang ordered the village chief to lead all the villagers to gather in a hall. A large number of guards were sent around to protect it, and a large bonfire was lit at the door, according to Yang Yang's experience, any creature is afraid of fire, and it should be the same here, even if he is not afraid, at least he can block it, so that the possibility of monsters going to other places can be ruled out.

Yang Yang hid in the tree with Qian Qian in his arms and watched the situation below, according to the village chief's prompt, the monster should have appeared now, but he didn't see the shadow of the monster around. Yang Yang took out the telescope he brought out from the goblin ship again, this was the only thing Yang Yang brought out of the ship, and he kept it because it felt very useful.

Seeing the binoculars, Yang Yang thought about his ship, and wondered what was going on, and he didn't know if the pirates would dismantle it when they left. I also thought about sending someone to get it back, but I thought that I was unfamiliar with the people here, so I was afraid that it would be too dazzling and put it on hold.

Yang Yang looked around with a telescope and didn't see it for a long time. Maybe he felt some pain in his eyes after staring at it for a long time, Yang Yang looked up at the sky, and suddenly found a black spot not far from here. Yang Yang hurriedly took out the binoculars and took a closer look, and found that the black dot was a monster that was very similar to the patriarch's description.

This thing really looks like a praying mantis, but the head is much larger than the head of the mantis on the earth, and it is green and fat! This praying mantis, let's call it a praying mantis, Yang Yang doesn't know what the hell it is, the things here are very strange.

It has been hovering in the sky and cannot come down, as if it is a sign of danger, and it refuses to come down for a long time. Yang Yang then broke off a branch and smashed the baby's face hard, and the baby's face, which had been quiet, screamed in pain again.

This ghost cry really worked, and the praying mantis no longer hesitated, and couldn't help but swoop down directly from the sky when it saw the delicacy in front of it. Yang Yang glanced at the paladins behind him to cheer them up, reminding them to look at his gestures and pull the net at any time.

The praying mantis swooped down quickly, seeing that it was about to reach the range of the trap, Yang Yang raised his right hand and prepared to pull the net, but just when Yang Yang was about to close the net, the mantis suddenly stopped in mid-air with a sudden brake and refused to come down. Yang Yang almost gave the order to close the net, looking at this beast so cunning Yang Yang gritted his teeth fiercely.

This praying mantis seemed to see a flaw here, that is, it stopped in mid-air and refused to come down, and directly scratched the two long whiskers on its head with both arms and made a strange sound, as if it was laughing at Yang Yang and a group of people.

Yang Yang waited for a long time to see that this beast was not fooled, and rubbed his hands fiercely:

"Fuck, do you think you won't be able to fix you if you don't come down? Sissi, go behind me. ”

Yang Yang stretched out his hand and hugged Sissi on the trunk of the tree next to him, then made room, took out the cane given by the old fellow of the Pope, held it in his hand, and measured the distance visually. Then with a movement of his mind, Yang Yang suddenly appeared in the air not far from the praying mantis, and Yang Yang knocked the cane on the mantis's head for the first time.

Then I heard two "bangs, bangs", and a small body fell to the ground along with a huge body. When the knights behind saw it, they immediately pounced and wrapped the monster tightly in a big net, and then the two paladins hurriedly ran over to support Yang Yang. Yang Yang fell from such a high place, and he grinned in pain:

"Don't move, don't move, it looks like it's dislocated!"

The paladins heard that the boss had broken and dislocated his arm, and they all scrambled to show that they were ready to pick up the boss. Finally, after a few screams like Yang Yang killing a pig, he was accidentally picked up by one of the youngest knights.

Yang Yang limped to the monster while rubbing his arm, looking at such a big lump and thinking about how much energy he could absorb? Yang Yang took the machete and poked it on the monster's back with a "poof", the monster finally woke up in pain, and after waking up, he found himself struggling in a big net.

Yang Yang looked at this monster and seemed to have a lot of strength, and quickly ordered the knights to hold on to the rope in their hands to prevent it from flying away. The praying mantis struggled and narrowly escaped several times.

Yang Yang looked as if something bad was going to happen, and hurriedly summoned a bolt of lightning to slash down. The praying mantis lay on the ground in pain and didn't move for a long time, Yang Yang thought he was dead. Happily preparing to go up to absorb energy, since the last time there was a hunt, Yang Yang inadvertently killed a mid-level demonic beast, which was a power-type demonic beast.

Yang Yang was about to go up and put aside his head to take out the crystal nucleus, but who knew that after his hand was just stained with the blood of the demonic beast, the entire blood on the corpse of the demonic beast began to be absorbed little by little along Yang Yang's arm, and after absorption, Yang Yang felt that his strength was increasing little by little. Since then, Yang Yang has cultivated a situation where after killing the enemy, not only must he ingest soul power, but also blood power, and he will not let go.

Yang Yang had just gone up and was about to draw out the machete to suck blood, when suddenly the mantis on the ground, which was originally motionless, began to change. The original green body began to slowly turn red, and after a while, the whole body became red and bright, like a fire!

What the hell is this? Is it preparing for the golden cicada to come out of its shell? Yang Yang wasn't sure what was going on, anyway, he knew that he had to kill it before it was done, otherwise it would be in big trouble.

So Yang Yang ordered the rest of the paladins to come and poke it to death, but when the paladin poked his spear hard, he found that the praying mantis seemed to have a thin protective film on its body, which always blocked their attacks. Yang Yang saw that the physical attack was ineffective against it, and began to gather a large number of thunder and lightning elements, and a thick lightning bolt fell from the sky and slashed straight at the mantis.

The praying mantis let out a scream of "sting, stinging" under the pain, and after a while, the praying mantis finally stood up again, and its whole body had completely transformed into a fiery red, and it used its two forearms to cut off the ropes on its body and then began to move restlessly in place.
