By the time Slug Wanyi climbed back onto the wall, Moss was no longer visible by the lake in the distance.

He jumped straight into the sour lake.

The burning sensation irritated by the acid did not appear.

Of course, the cockroach that had gained the power of Unn was no longer afraid of the acid, and he swam boldly in the acid, wrapping his little body in his cloak and swimming like a slug.

Finally left the lake of Unn and burrowed into the jungle on the shore.

……

"This, does it have something to do with your praying mantis clan?" Wan Yi looked at a totem pillar in front of him and said as a corpse of a bug with multiple eyes nailed to it.

They went deeper and deeper in the fungal wasteland, encountering several waves of attacks from mushrooms, and they were tired of eating roasted mushrooms, and the clones said they didn't want to eat them, but fortunately, there was still Mr. Mask, the big stomach.

Most traces of primitive civilization in the fungal wasteland come from these mushrooms.

They have left many totems here.

However, the totem pole in front of him is different from the previous one, and the style is quite different, obviously it is not left by the mushroom tribe, and the corpse above is naturally not a praying mantis, it looks a bit like a spider.

"This totem! That's right, it's indeed a trace of my kinship! Cullom rubbed his scythe with his scythe, a little excited.

The doppelganger of Wan Yi next to him was growing mushrooms on his body at this time, and he was making a spore bomb in his hand.

It absorbs the fragments of the mushroom and completes the qualitative transformation, which does not change much after initiating the qualitative transformation, except that many cute green mushrooms grow on its body, especially the one in the center of its head. Among them, it specifically absorbs a special fungal organism in large quantities.

This fungal creature spits out an explosive spores that are extremely unstable and contain large amounts of energy, causing them a little trouble on the way.

The fungal organism silently marks its target with spores within a certain range, and then the bomb it releases will track the moving non-fungal target.

This doppelganger feels great, and after the qualitative change, I'm doing research, and after focusing on it, I'm not very interested in other things.

The Mr. Mask on top of Wan Yi's head next to him took a mushroom from his body from time to time, and he didn't pay attention to it.

At this time, there are more and more totem poles and "binding" insect corpses in front of me.

It seems that it is not far from the legendary praying mantis clan.

Using the totem pole as a guide, they can be seen along the way, and the remnants of many not weak creatures can be seen along the way, as if to show glory and power, hanging high and nailed to a conspicuous place for all passers-by to see.

Soon, a tall figure appeared in front of him.

The blue-blue body, sharp arms, and white neck and head were the same as those of Cullom, but it was clear that this was a fully mature mantis in front of him.

Cullom was one size smaller in front of it.

"Finally seeing your kind."

"Hmm."

Wan Yi glanced at it, wondering why it had suddenly fallen silent.

There may be a lot of them, but Wan Yi didn't bother to think about it, so as usual, Wan Yi rubbed his little hands and walked up: "Hello, I am a cockroach that everyone loves in the world." ”

The mantis warrior quickly turned around and stepped back to distance himself, looking at Wan Yi vigilantly.

"Intruder, exterminate!"

The big eyes on Wan Yi's helmet were half-opened: "Don't you Holy Hive insects have anything else but territorial consciousness?" What the hell is the ecology of Hallownest! ”

Before he finished speaking, the ferocious blade had already slashed at him.

Wan Yi retreated and dodged: "That's it when you're an adult?" It doesn't feel like it's better than Cullom. ”

Cullom hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't! Stop it! ”

It crossed in front of the mantis warrior in front of it and said, "I am ......"

"Rebel from home! Die! ”

As a result, after saying another sentence on the other side, he was even more merciless to Cullom.

Cullom had to show his twin knives to fight him, but he fell to the back within a few rounds.

Wan Yi looked at it and frowned: "Huh? I just boasted about you! ”

"But I ......"

Bang!

Because Wan Yi's words were distracted for a moment, Cullom was directly broken through the defensive stance, and the Mantis Warrior flew up and kicked Cullom down, and the blade went straight to its neck.

Wan Yi suddenly pulled back his hand, and the spore bomb on the cockroach fungus's hand was taken away at once.

Then Wan Yi threw it towards the mantis warrior.

The Mantis Warrior stopped his momentum, caught a glimpse of what was actually a spore bomb, and quickly retreated.

Bang!

The spore bomb detonated with a dull explosion sound and a large number of red spores spread out at the same time, and the mantis warrior was obviously no stranger to this situation, swinging his blade to disperse the smoke.

Then he spun around sharply, and the blade collided with a bone spike.

Bite!

After a crisp sound, the Mantis Warrior's body stiffened for a moment, and Wan Yi's Soul Eater wand switched to short sword mode, directly pounced on the mantis warrior's shoulder, and circled its back.

The Mantis Warrior tried to struggle, but the dagger stabbed it straight into its neck, announcing its end.

Boom!

The body of the praying mantis fell, and Wan Yi turned his head to look at the Kulom who got up after landing on the ground: "Kulom, Kulom, Kulom...... What the hell are you doing? ”

He easily got the soul of this praying mantis, which is white.

He wasn't infected, but he was still aggressive, far higher than Moss.

The doppelganger looked at his empty hands, speechless, and took out another spore bomb from the mushroom on his body and rubbed it on his hand.

And Cullom was a little dazed: "I just want to go home?" Why did you become a traitor? ”

The fungus clone said casually: "The praying mantis clan has a great sense of honor and is quite conceited, no matter what the reason, as a praying mantis that has escaped from the clan, it is normal not to be accepted." ”

Looking down along the way, even if you don't really see the praying mantis, those totem poles and the framed corpses around them have explained a lot.

The most unacceptable thing for such a fierce, martial, and conceited and arrogant race is to deviate from the scriptures.

"Haven't you thought about it yourself?" Wan also said to Cullom.

Cullom sat down discouraged: "Yes...... But there has always been a fluke. ”

Wan Yi glanced at his clone, and the clone lowered his head and continued to rub the spores.

"Do you want to keep walking?"

Cullom was silent.

"Then I'll go." Wan Yi and the clone didn't continue to care about it, and continued to go deep into the territory of the mantis clan together.

Cullom suddenly didn't understand: "Didn't you come here to accompany me?" ”

"I just got lost and came to the Holy Nest, the main thing is to experience the terroir of the Holy Nest, and don't continue to go to the front to see how to do it." Wan Yi said without looking back.

Cullom was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he still chose to follow Wan Yi.

Wan didn't care.

A small clear lake appeared in front of him, not the kind of acid lake water, and Wan Yirang went up to try the water and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

On the other side of the lake, a village can be seen faintly, surrounded by totems, and the corpses of huge insects and beasts are neatly bound.

"Oh roar? Another rare group of travelers, and it's a pleasure to see you in this quiet place. A voice suddenly rang out from the side.

They turned their heads and saw a bug walking towards him who was not much taller than Wan Yi, but Wan Yi felt that the reason why the other party was a little taller than him was because of its slender and slender limbs.

It has a slender bone nail pinned to its waist, which is somewhat worn but sharp.

It's just that this insect itself has a very gentle temperament, not like a warrior, but more like a scholar and a traveler.

It tugged at the bandana it wore slightly, and its gaze swept over the two Wan Yi and Cullom.

"Hello hello, I'm a cockroach that everyone loves!" Wan Yi immediately rubbed his hands and went up to say hello.

The insect in front of him said, "You are a little man, is cockroach your name?" My name is Quiroh, an explorer with thoughts on Hallownest. ”

"Ah, cockroaches are my race, my name is Wan Yi."

It is difficult to describe in words how touched Wan Yi was at this time.

How many times, how many times!

No matter how many times he introduced himself in this world, he didn't appreciate it at all, and he always believed that this insect world would not have any prejudice against cockroaches! Until today, someone except Cullom finally answered his words!

"My name is Cullom." Cullom said politely.

"This is my doppelganger, you can also call him Wan Yi, or ignore him." Wan Yi patted the elastic mushroom above his doppelganger's head.

The doppelganger also nodded, "It's best to ignore me." ”

Quiro smiled: "What an interesting traveler, a completely different style from the silent little man before. ”

"We're going to go to Mantis Village, are we going to be with us too?" Wan Yidao.

"No, I've already seen it back from there, I don't have the habit of staying in one place for long, if you want to challenge the fierce and aggressive praying mantises, unfortunately I can only bless you." Quiro said.

But it paused, then said, "But as long as we're still in Hallownest, we'll always meet again, and traveling is such a wonderful thing." ”

"It's so free-flowing." Wan Yidao.

"It's just for curiosity." Quiro looked at Kulom again: "It's rare to see such a polite praying mantis, in the mantis village, even the young praying mantis are fighting to prove their strength to the clan. ”

Cullom bowed his head slightly, and stopped talking.

"You should be an adult, but your wings haven't completely degenerated, and although you retain some of your ability to fly, your half-open and half-closed state affects your down-to-earth fighting, and you may have to find a way to get out of it."

Cullom was a little surprised: "I've been in this state for a long time, and I've always thought that praying mantis are like this. ”

Wan also glanced at Cullom and then at Quirao.

This bug seems to know a lot, and there is wisdom in his eyes.

Sure enough, the aura of a scholar is even greater than that of a warrior.

"You're a straddle mantis." Kui Ruo said in a confident tone, "This may have something to do with your state of mind, it is difficult for others to reach, the praying mantis clan is brave and good at fighting, but to put it bluntly, they are all dead brains, as an outlier mantis, you have to think much more than your own clan." ”

Kuiruo's tone was gentle, which reminded Wan Yi of his kindness.

Gently point out the other person's problems and give them just the right amount of guidance.

A teacher-like temperament.
