Chapter 168 Vulnerable
Southern Wilderness, Mantis Tribe.
The temperature in the early morning was already very low, and large praying mantises were clinging to the trees, motionless.
In a few days, these big mantises will die one after another.
Of course, they left behind a large number of mantis eggs, and by next year, the big mantises will appear again.
Inside the tribe, ordinary members of the Mantis Tribe are repairing their houses to cope with the cold winter.
In fact, they haven't repaired houses before winter for many years. Due to climate change, there has been no snow in the winter in the Western Wilderness in recent years.
But there is a witch in the tribe, who will guide the tribesmen based on their experience and tell them what to do and when.
This is also one of the values of witch's existence.
In the wooden house, the witch and the chief sat by the fire.
"Continue to send soldiers out to plunder. Take as much as you can. This is our first winter in the Southern Wilderness. We must prepare more food."
The witch of the Mantis Tribe is a thin old woman who looks frail, but the leader of the Mantis Tribe behaves very respectfully in front of her.
"Witch, but I'm worried that the tribe we encountered two days ago will appear again. Should we leave some more warriors to guard the tribe?"
The Mantis Tribe witch shook her head and said, "It will snow soon, and they also need to store food for the winter. They will definitely not dare to attack our Mantis Tribe."
"Besides, with the Mantis God here, they won't be able to gain any advantage even if they come."
She has enough confidence in the Mantis God, because for a long time, the Mantis God has won the struggle between the Mantis Tribe and various tribes.
The chief also had great confidence in the Mantis God, and he believed in the witch's judgment, so he left the wooden house and immediately arranged for the warriors of the Mantis tribe to go out hunting and looting.
…
noon.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
The members of the Mantis Tribe who were repairing their houses suddenly heard a strange roar, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
Someone climbed up the tallest tree nearby and stood at the treetop, where he could see farther.
"Oh my god, what is that?"
This member of the Mantis Tribe saw an extremely shocking scene and his mouth opened wide in horror.
In the distant sky, dozens of giant dragonflies were flying quickly towards the mantis tribe, and the birds along the way were scared and fled in all directions.
Before the members of the mantis tribe had time to climb down from the tree, the group of giant dragonflies had already flown over.
“Swoosh…”
One of the giant dragonflies swooped over, and instantly grabbed him with its six barbed claws and lifted him into the sky.
“Ah…Help…”
The mantis tribe member screamed in fear and pain.
“Crack…”
The giant dragonfly lowered its head and bit his head to pieces with its terrifying claws.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
On the ground, many large mantises took off. Although their lives were running out, their fighting power could not be underestimated.
However, the giant mantis's strength is not flying.
They can have a great advantage when facing flightless humans or other wild beasts, but in front of giant dragonflies, they are not on the same level in terms of body size, flying speed, and even combat effectiveness.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
Giant dragonflies kept flying through the sky, and every time they swooped down, they would grab a large mantis and then bite off its head, spilling a pool of green juice.
"What the hell is this? What the hell is this!?"
On the ground, the leader of the Mantis Tribe was so angry that he jumped up and down. He never imagined that the giant mantis, which was invincible in the Western Wilderness, was actually being slaughtered.
That's right, it was a massacre. These big mantises had no ability to fight back against the giant dragonflies, even though their numbers far exceeded those of the giant dragonflies.
In front of the giant dragonfly, these big mantises were no different from a group of mosquitoes and were completely crushed.
"Wu, please ask the gods to destroy these damn dragonflies!"
The leader shouted, obviously feeling sorry for the giant mantises that kept dying.
The witch of the Mantis Tribe nodded, his eyes very fierce.
She walked to the altar and began to chant the ancient witchcraft spell.
"boom!"
Behind the altar, in a nest built of various trees, a terrifying giant mantis crawled out.
Unlike other giant mantises, this one has blood red eyes and wings, which looks very strange and scary.
The witch in front of the altar became excited and shouted loudly: "God!"
“God, God, God!”
In the Mantis Tribe, all the tribesmen cheered, very enthusiastically.
“Buzz…”
The mantis god spread its wings and flew into the sky in an instant, his speed was many times faster than that of an ordinary mantis.
“Crack!”
The mantis god was so fast that its terrifying forelimbs were like a giant sickle, instantly cutting a giant dragonfly in half.
"good!"
The Mantis Tribe members on the ground cheered, God was indeed the most powerful.
All their attention was on the sky, but they did not notice that in the forest on the ground, a large number of Vine Tribe warriors had arrived at the edge of the Mantis Tribe.
"rush!"
Jiang Xuan rode on Yueya's back, holding up a bone spear, and growled.
“Boom boom boom…”
The Black Wind Rhinoceros, which had been walking very slowly just now in order to hide, can finally run. More than 30 Black Wind Rhinoceros excitedly rushed towards the Mantis Tribe with great momentum.
Behind the black rhinoceros, countless giant deer and blue sheep, carrying the warriors of the Teng tribe, lowered their heads and rushed forward at a very fast speed.
In the Mantis Tribe, several warriors in charge of outer guard were looking up through the gaps in the tree canopy, gazing at the mighty Mantis God.
Suddenly, they heard an unusually loud noise in the forest.
Someone turned around and saw a running rhinoceros and a warrior of the Vine tribe on its back.
"Enemy...enemy attack..."
The man had just shouted when there was a "whoosh" sound. A short spear flew over and pierced his chest in an instant. The terrible force caused him to fall backwards.
"Bang!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Mantis Tribe warrior fell to the ground, blood rising from his throat, making him unable to utter a word, but his mouth was still opening and closing, as if he wanted to say something.
At this time, the other warriors of the Mantis Tribe finally reacted.
But when they turned around, picked up their weapons and prepared to fight back, the Black Wind Rhino had already rushed over.
“Bang!”
Crescent Moon knocked a warrior from the Mantis tribe flying. The terrifying force caused the warrior's bones and tendons to be broken, and his internal organs to be shattered. He had no chance of survival.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
The warriors of the Vine Tribe rushed forward on their mounts, throwing short spears or shooting arrows, and almost rushed past without giving the warriors of the Mantis Tribe any chance to fight back.
The continuous screams and the sound of heavy hooves stomping on the ground finally pulled the members of the Mantis Tribe back from their fanatical state of worshipping the totem god.
"Enemy attack, prepare to fight!"
The leader of the Mantis tribe roared, and then hurriedly organized the warriors to meet the enemy.
However, the cavalry was so fast that by the time they had organized themselves, the huge black rhinos had already rushed over.
"boom!"
A wooden house was shattered by the impact of the Black Wind Rhinoceros and turned into broken wood all over the ground.
The Mantis tribe warrior who was preparing for a sneak attack in the wooden house was also trampled by the Black Wind Rhinoceros's huge hooves and died unwillingly.
"kill!"
Jiang Xuan shouted loudly, then rushed over towards the leader of the Mantis Tribe.
He was riding on the Black Wind Rhino, but the leader of the Mantis Tribe was standing on the ground. He didn't dare to take the attack head-on and could only dodge.
However, he did hide, but the warriors of the Mantis Tribe around him suffered bad luck.
"puff!"
A warrior from the Mantis Tribe was pierced by Jiang Xuan's bone spear, and another was killed by Yueya. The others fled in panic, not daring to face the enemy head-on.
Not only Jiang Xuan, other Teng tribe warriors also fought easily because they had mounts, which was a huge advantage.
They even felt that the Mantis Tribe was very weak, often collapsing at the slightest touch, and couldn't even mount a decent counterattack.
What they didn't know was that because of the Mantis Tribe witch's confidence, he sent two-thirds of the tribe's warriors out to look for food.
The warriors who remained in the Mantis Tribe, including the Big Mantis, were all relatively weak, and there were not many of them.
Add to that the entire cavalry of the Vine Tribe, how could the warriors and ordinary tribesmen in the Mantis Tribe possibly defeat them? It sounds complicated, but in fact, it all happened very quickly, so quickly that by the time the Mantis God reacted, the cavalry of the Vine Tribe had already rushed into the tribe and started killing.
At this time, in the sky, the Mantis God had already cut off three giant dragonflies. The other giant dragonflies did not charge forward, but scattered in all directions to avoid the Mantis God.
When the Mantis God wanted to kill the fourth giant dragonfly and go down to rescue the members of the Mantis tribe, an accident happened.
“Whoosh!”
An extremely thick vine, flashing green light, suddenly appeared and wrapped around the Mantis God.
“Crack!”
The mantis god reacted quickly enough. Before the vines could wrap around it, its terrifying forelimbs instantly cut off the vines.
Creatures that can become gods are naturally not good people and have their own unique abilities.
The mantis god's terrifying pair of forelimbs is one of its most powerful weapons, and it can even cut down large trees.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
More vines appeared and wrapped around the Mantis God.
Moreover, these vines were covered with a layer of light protective shield, and the Mantis God failed to cut them off when he tried again.
“Buzz…”
The vine god finally appeared. It floated into the air from the woods below, and countless vines entangled around the mantis god.
"hiss……"
The mantis god let out a sharp cry, and its forelimbs turned blood red, and its attack power increased again.
The vines near it were cut off again.
But the Vine God was much stronger than it. Although the Mantis God was not entangled or trapped to death by the vines for the time being, he was unable to go down to rescue the members of the Mantis Tribe.
At this time, all the giant dragonflies were freed. They kept flying up and down, catching and biting the big mantises to death, repeating the process over and over again.
Inside the Mantis Tribe, countless wooden houses collapsed. The warriors and ordinary tribesmen of the Mantis Tribe were beaten so badly that they had no power to fight back. Some died, some escaped, and they looked vulnerable.
Thanks to the book friend "Guigu~" for the reward.
