To others, these mantis king clones and the original mantis may appear identical in their movements and forms.
The water is too deep; it's impossible to hold on to it.
But under Su Yue's "all-seeing eye," nothing could be hidden!
Even before the Mantis King disappeared, Su Yue had already relied on his unique talent.
He immediately recognized the slightly darker, different-looking zombie in the horde and marked it with the mark of death.
Su Yue knew that the attributes of this clone skill were not entirely inherited from the original body.
Instead, each clone can only inherit half of the attributes of the previous individual.
Although the number of Mantis Kings has climbed to several hundred, it is likely that the next wave of clones will only have single-digit attributes, mainly characterized by their aggressive demeanor.
Fortunately, these clones did not inherit the original's talent—natural camouflage.
Otherwise, they would be even more troublesome when they are in stealth mode.
Without hesitation, Su Yue pulled the trigger, and an arrow, accompanied by sparks from the explosion, shot straight at the last split-off Mantis King.
As expected, after the arrow hit its mark, a clear gap immediately appeared in the mantis swarm.
The dozen or so newly hatched mantis kings instantly turned into green smoke and vanished without a trace under Su Yue's thunderous strike.
The next second, it seamlessly switched to split arrow mode!
Su Yue fought and retreated simultaneously, and thanks to the blessing of the death mark, his movement speed far exceeded that of the zombies.
While firing, he also kept an eye on the death mark above the Orchid Mantis King's head out of the corner of his eye.
In the blink of an eye, all twenty arrows in the quiver had been fired.
The number of clones still standing in front of Su Yue could be counted on one hand.
However, the Mantis King was still unwilling to give up. A shadow flashed by like lightning, and it quietly sneaked up behind Su Yue again.
Sure enough, they're planning another sneak attack?
Su Yue saw through the Mantis King's scheme at a glance!
Do you like ambushes?
Do you like backstabbing?
Then let me show you what it feels like to be ambushed!
Su Yue deliberately exposed an opening, taking advantage of the moment when he was changing the arrow quiver to let his clone take the attack from the Mantis King.
Despite being clad in a "shield of darkness," he was still unable to completely withstand the Orchid Mantis King's talent for "violent aesthetics."
For a moment, Su Yue felt dizzy, as if a shrill roar came from the depths of his soul, and his whole body was running around uncontrollably.
This is the terrifying power bestowed upon the talent of "violent aesthetics"—[fear]!
[Fear]: It can cause the target to lose control due to extreme fear, running around in all directions until it is injured, at which point this state of fear will be relieved.
The next second, the Mantis King made its move as expected.
It suddenly leaped up from behind, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, soaring tens of meters into the air.
Its wings flapped wildly behind it, hovering steadily in the air, its sharp gaze fixed on Su Yue.
Not far away, the main force that set off from the Star City Safe Zone was already quite close to this place.
Not long ago, they witnessed the mysterious disappearance of the portal from afar.
However, what happened next shocked them—a creature was soaring through the air.
They also wanted to know what had happened.
So they sped up their efforts to clear out the zombies.
Propelled by its wings, the Orchid Mantis King gradually increased its descent speed, as if challenging the limits of gravity.
At that moment, a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of Su Yue's mouth, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
Just as the Mantis King's right-hand short blade was about to sever Su Yue's neck.
Su Yue used stealth to appear behind the Mantis King, dodging the fatal blow.
The Mantis King's powerful strike actually embedded half of its body into the concrete ground.
The surrounding ground subsided, demonstrating the immense force of the impact!
Then, a "punishment arrow" shot directly into the mantis king's thigh.
Despite a 50% reduction in attack power, Su Yue still managed to deal considerable damage thanks to one of his talents!
The arrow did not stop; instead, it pierced through the Mantis King's clone like lightning, instantly killing it.
It turns out that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by Su Yue.
The moment Su Yue was hit, he bit his lip, harming himself in this way to forcibly break free from the shackles of fear.
Su Yue's subsequent panicked and out-of-control running was merely a carefully staged performance.
After being hit in the thigh, the Mantis King's agility is greatly reduced.
After enduring repeated attacks from Su Yue, it finally could not bear it any longer!
The man in front of me has repeatedly treated me like an insect!
Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't!
It angrily curled its body into a ball, emitting a low, buzzing growl.
Its body visibly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It eventually grew to be one and a half times the height of a person, its entire body exuding a deep black aura like that of death.
Su Yue knew that this was its final, ultimate move—the Ghostly Descent!
Taking advantage of the Mantis King's transformation, Su Yue used the Plundering Hand without hesitation!
[Current Collapse Level: 46%, Weakness Level: 55%, Current Plunder Success Rate: 101%. Talent Plunder Successful! Due to Natural Disguise being a special talent, it could not be plundered. Second Talent Plunder Successful! Remaining Attempts: 0.]
[Violent Aesthetics]
Talent level: S-rank.
Violent Aesthetics: When your attack successfully hits an enemy, it will inflict fear on the enemy for 10 seconds and reduce the enemy's attack damage by 50%.
Suddenly, Su Yue frowned.
