Chapter 24: Jasper Mantis

Without the possession of ghosts, the seven people lying on the ground quickly woke up.

A group of villagers greeted Ye Tian for a long time, thanked them one after another, and waited until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tiancai got out and went to his old courtyard alone.

It has not been repaired for many years, and there are many weeds.

The house is also home to snakes, insects, rats and ants, Ye Tian walked into the house, his brows suddenly furrowed, there was not even a place to put his feet down.

"This grass is too lush!" Ye Tian looked at the tall weeds in the inner room, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, it was the first time he had seen such tall weeds.

"Suddenly, Ye Tian's ears moved, and a voice attracted his attention, Ye Tian held his breath, his eyes patrolled, and finally saw a small red snake more than a meter long in the corner of the wall outside.

And opposite this little snake is a praying mantis with a green body, and at this moment the two guys are obviously on the right track, and between them grows a red fruit the size of a thumb!

The two little beasts obviously didn't notice Ye Tian's gaze, and after a moment of stalemate, they fought together in an instant, but what shocked Ye Tian was that they seemed to be a little unusual in terms of speed and strength.

The little snake flung its tail over, and even the bricks on the wall could throw out a crack, and the jasper mantis was even more amazing, its two front paws were like two cyan short knives, and it actually danced out a series of knife shadows.

When Ye Tian saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, is this the beginning of the mutation of the species?

He didn't make a rash move, he kept silently staring at the battle between the two little beasts, and after more than ten minutes, the mantis grabbed the gap, and the knife shadow flashed, and directly cut off the little snake seven inches away, and directly cut the little snake into two.

However, the little red snake was obviously not jealous, and at a critical moment, its mouth opened slightly, and an undetectable venom sprayed on the mantis's body.

The little snake's body twisted twice, completely motionless, but the jasper mantis struggled to get up, swayed to the side of the red fruit, and hugged the fruit with its two front paws, like a majestic general.

However, this praying mantis was obviously handsome for only three seconds, and before it could eat its own trophy, its body shook and fell directly to the ground, and the snake venom was obviously unusual.

Ye Tian was amazed, walked over and squatted down to play with the little red snake first, making sure that it was dead.

Picking up the red fruit again and looking at it, he turned his golden pupils and found that there was really a trace of aura in this fruit, which was of course far worse than his monkey wine.

And the praying mantis on the ground was not completely dead at the moment, trembling its front paws and looking at Ye Tian who suddenly appeared, and let out a squeaky sound.

Although he couldn't understand what this guy was saying, Ye Tian somewhat understood what it meant, and wanted to save it.

"Let me save you, what's the benefit?" Ye Tian could see that this praying mantis also had qi circulating in its body, and its strength was probably comparable to that of the powerhouses in the early days of the day after tomorrow.

You must know that this is already amazing, after all, the powerhouses of the acquired realm are already considered masters among human beings.

The praying mantis seemed to be able to understand human speech, tilted its head and stared at Ye Tian, and stretched out its front paws with difficulty.

Ye Tian smiled, feeling very interesting, this little guy is full of spirituality, does he mean to make friends with himself?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian nodded, stretched out a finger and touched the jasper mantis's front paws.

Now Ye Tian didn't think at all about what this extremely simple action meant to the Jasper Mantis, and in the countless years that followed, one man and one beast depended on each other, even in the most difficult times, the Jasper Mantis never thought of betraying Ye Tian.

Seeing that the jasper mantis looked like it was about to burp, Ye Tian didn't delay any longer, pinched the fruit in his hand, and dripped the juice inside into the mantis's mouth.

Then he got up again, searched the neighborhood, found a few weeds, squeezed out the juice and dripped it into the mantis's mouth.

He has studied the poison spectrum of Ouyang Feng, and has a deep understanding of poisons, especially poisonous snakes, and knows that there are generally herbs that can detoxify the vicinity where poisons are infested.

Soon, the jasper mantis that was paralyzed on the ground came back to life with full blood, this guy flashed two big knives, kicked his legs in front of the red snake corpse, and cut off the snake flesh with a few smacks and began to bloom in large pieces.

Ye Tian didn't care about this, if the spirit beast wanted to grow, in addition to devouring foreign fruits and elixirs, another way was to fight with a strong person of the same level, and then devour the flesh and blood of the other party.

In fact, if this snake wasn't too small, Ye Tian would have planned to boil a pot of snake soup.

In the evening, Ye Tian finally cleaned up the weeds in the yard, but the house was still damp and uninhabitable.

Ye Tian didn't care about this, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for him.

"Brother Xiaotian, I'm back, what do you think?" Just before the sun was about to set, Zhang Yuxin ran panting, holding two rough-looking wooden swords in her hands.

This is a peach wood sword, there is a big peach tree in the village, Ye Tian cut two branches for Zhang Yuxin's father to help build it.

His father worked as a carpenter in his early years, and although he learned a bottle and a half of water, it was more than enough to make two wooden swords.

"Very good, it's enough for us to perform the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!" Ye Tian was ready to go, and stood up suddenly.

"Brother Xiao Tian, we really have to go to find trouble with Granny Yao? What if we make a mistake? Her old man is very respected in the village!" Zhang Yuxin naturally knew what Ye Tian wanted to do, and asked with a little apprehension.

"That's why I'm going to go over at night, if it weren't for the fact that the villagers would be injured in the fight, I wouldn't have let her leave at your house at that time!" Ye Tian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Those villagers who were ghostly were definitely inseparable from her, even if they were not the masterpieces of Granny Yao.

Ye Tian didn't have this ability before, but now he knows that such an old witch who raises ghosts is actually hiding in his own village, and he has to find out the origin of whatever he says.

At night, the village was still quiet, and a faint ghostly aura lingered over the entire village, making the air around it a little colder.

The village was quiet, perhaps because of the haunting of the past two days, the villagers closed their doors early, Ye Tian and Zhang Yuxin came all the way to a lonely brick house at the back of the village, and stood still!

This is the residence of the medicine mother-in-law, under Ye Tian's broken golden pupils, the yin qi in the house is almost condensed into substance, and Ye Tian keenly smells a trace of danger.

After cultivating the Heavenly Diagram, Ye Tian believed in this intuition very much, and quietly instructed Zhang Yuxin to go over and knock on the door first!

"Is Granny Yao here? I'm Ye Tian, I didn't look good at noon, so I came to see you!"

"Jiji, Xiao God, you really take care of my mother-in-law, I don't even forget to carry a peachwood sword when I visit, but my mother-in-law is very good, since you want to come in, come on!"

As the gloomy voice of the medicine woman sounded, the door creaked open, and the room was pitch black, as if the big mouth of a giant beast was slowly opening, waiting for the prey to come to the door by itself.
