[Fortunately, you took out the peachwood sword from the small hole in advance, and you reacted in time and held the peachwood sword horizontally in front of you, blocking the blow. 】

[The peachwood sword collides with the sickle arm, making a sizzling sound, and you find that it is a huge green praying mantis that has sneaked up on you, hiding in the grass, its eyes are scarlet, and it is staring at you deadly. 】

[You fight it fiercely, its body is very flexible, you can't seem to help it. 】

[After knocking it back again, you hold the small lightning strike charm in your left hand, and a small lightning bolt flies towards it, however, its wings flutter, and it flies into the sky, dodging your attack. 】

Then, it flies towards you at great speed, along with its pair of scythes that attack significantly faster. 】

[You are a little overstretched in the face of its attack, but now your intuition tells you that you need to scrap its pair of wings.] 】

[So, after using the small lightning strike charm to blast out a thunderbolt again, you temporarily repelled it, and at this time, your left hand reached into the small cave sky and took out the green mountain lantern, which was extinguished at this time, but you knew that you only needed to use the aura to make it ignite during the day, but you didn't do it for the time being. 】

[The giant praying mantis saw that you took out a new artifact and flew around you vigilantly, but after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, it attacked again. 】

[In the face of the attacking giant mantis, you didn't use the peachwood sword to block it, but used the green mountain lantern, and the green mountain lantern didn't know what kind of material it was made of, and easily blocked the sickle arm blade of the giant mantis. 】

[And at this moment, you urged the aura in your body and lit the green mountain lantern, and the flames on the green mountain lantern were blazing, and the fierce flames enveloped the giant mantis and attached itself to it. 】

[However, the Aoyama Lantern flame was not enough to kill it, but it damaged its wings and made it unable to fly.] At this time, you take advantage of the victory to pursue, no longer care about the aura, and take turns to use the peachwood sword and the small lightning strike charm, and suddenly kill the giant mantis and retreat. 】

[A few moments later, you finally killed the giant mantis. 】

You've gained a little experience. 】

[The charred corpse of the giant praying mantis remains in place, and you may be able to try dissecting it to obtain materials.] 】

The long battle finally passed, and Chu Ge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although the consumption of the characters was quite large, but after all, he was not dead, so he didn't have to wait for another three hours.

It's just that the experience gained in this battle seems to be a little less, and it didn't improve his realm.

Thinking that he was still practicing the strength of the second layer of cannon fodder, he was a little worried that the upgrade of this game was too slow.

However, there are also trophies, which can soothe his regretful heart.

[You chose to dissect the giant praying mantis.] 】

[You have obtained a pair of sharp giant mantis scythe arms, three intact giant mantis carapaces, a pair of broken giant mantis wings, and a large piece of charred mantis meat.] 】

[Sharp Giant Mantis Scythe Arm (Excellent): Material, a pair of scythe arms that are still intact after fierce battles, strong and sharp, can be used as a sharp blade after a little transformation, and can also be used for forging other utensils. 】

[Intact Giant Mantis Carapace (Normal): Material, taken from the carapace of the giant mantis, the sturdiness is acceptable, and it can be used as a forging artifact. 】

[Broken Giant Mantis Wings (Fine): Material, a damaged giant mantis wing, but there are still some magical powers left on it, which can be used as a forging artifact, and there is a certain chance to attach special effects to it. 】

[Blackened Giant Mantis Meat (Damaged): Material, edible, can increase speed and strength after eating, but there is a high probability of mutation, the direction of the mutation cannot be determined, and it can be used for forging utensils. 】

Through the description of these materials, Chu Ge found that this game seems to have a forging function, and he doesn't know when it will be opened.

I just hope that there is no mechanism in the forging function to strengthen the failed explosion equipment.

After collecting all these trophies into the small cave of the human body, Chu Ge chose to move on.

[You continue to walk along the path, and then you feel a sight in the grass around you watching you, and you can't judge the evil of that sight. 】

[You decide:]

【Initiative】

[Regardless of it, keep going]

【Return the same way】

[Others]

Eyes snooping? Is it a monster like a giant praying mantis?

Chu Ge was a little curious, but he didn't take the initiative to satisfy his curiosity, but chose to ignore it and continue to move forward.

The aura in the character's body has been consumed a lot in the previous battle with the praying mantis, and now the state is not good, and it is not the time to take the initiative.

You choose to move on, and then when you have walked a distance, you find that the sight that has been peeping at you has disappeared at some point. 】

After a while, you hear the murmuring of the stream, and you go on, and then you see a spring flowing down from the top of the mountain, and a pool is formed here. 】

[The waterhole is extremely clear, you don't find any traces of fish and shrimp, there are a few pink flowers blooming by the waterhole, and everything around looks very normal. 】

[At this point you decide:]

[Go to the waterhole, and then set up the formation]

【Observe the waterhole and its surroundings carefully】

【Return the same way】

[Others]

Looking at these options, Chu Ge knew that he should choose the second one without thinking at all, the tendencies given by these options were too obvious, as a person who needed to be cautious when walking during the day, he should naturally continue to be cautious when he came to this waterhole.

And it is understandable that there are no fish and shrimp in the pool, but the text actually specifically mentions those pink flowers, according to Chu Ge's meager experience in writing novels, the description of such things will generally have its effect.

Otherwise, it's either hydrological or hitting the streets.

And the following text also validates his idea.

[You carefully observe the waterhole and its surroundings, and then you notice that there seems to be something wrong with the flowers, they have no leaves, only a single stalk goes straight to the ground, and you feel a little strange when you look at this detail. 】

So you decide:]

[Use the peachwood sword to cut those flowers]

[Pick up the stones around you and throw them at the flowers]

[Use the small lightning strike charm to bombard those flowers]

[Others]

Flowers with stalks but no leaves?

Are they really flowers, Chu Ge was a little skeptical, and then he looked at the few options on the screen.

To chop them with a mahogany sword, you definitely need to get close to them, so this option is excluded.

If you hit them with a stone, it will disturb them, but you can also find out what they are.

And if he bombarded those flowers with a small lightning strike talisman, there was not much aura in his body, and if the other party did not have any abnormalities, then he would lose.

As for the rest, as always, Chu Ge will choose it when there is no better choice.

So, should you choose to use a stone or a small lightning striker?

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ge made a choice.

[You used the small lightning strike charm, and a lightning bolt appeared from your hand and blasted towards the flowers by the waterhole. 】

[Thunder and lightning hit the flower accurately, and then, a roar mixed with pain and anger is heard, and you feel the ground crack, as if an earthquake has descended.] 】

[And at the same time, in front of you, a block of sand and gravel bursts out, and a huge claw sticks out from the ground. 】
