As for Shi Wuxie, having received Jun Feijue's orders, he naturally dared not act on his own. He just stood there anxiously watching, afraid that the feast he was about to have would slip away.
"ah…"
The moment the black mantises caught up with the mermaid cloud, a shrill scream filled with terror rang out.
"Bang bang bang..."
Then, to their astonishment, they saw the mantises, each carrying a mermaid, fall from the sky and crash heavily to the ground.
"What's going on?"
This scene left everyone bewildered. "Are these mantises going to eat these human mermaids?"
"Impossible, right?"
Ji Fanya immediately retorted, "Mermaids are such powerful beings, and fish are supposed to eat insects, how could they be afraid of so many mantises?"
"Ah, I've eaten!"
Just then, Jun Wuyou suddenly shouted, pointing ahead and yelling, "Those mantises are really eating those mermaids!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and quickly looked over.
Sure enough, after the mantises pulled the mermaids down from the sky, they first used their large scythes to slash into the mermaids' abdomens. Then, a large mouth with sharp fangs shoved inside and swallowed their internal organs bit by bit.
The scene was incredibly bloody.
They had seen mantises eat other small insects before and didn't think much of it, but now, seeing them eating a mermaid in human form, they couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
These mantises in front of me really do eat people!
"Splash..."
After the mermaid was captured by the black mantis, black rain fell from the sky, drenching the mantises.
It seems that this was a tactic used by the mermaid to save herself.
"These mantises are probably going to be roasted to a crisp."
Upon seeing this, Jun Yu said, "I wonder if the zombie army can still eat the mantises that have been soaked in black rain."
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
However, the scene of the praying mantis suffering and being burned to a crisp did not occur.
Because, although the black rain kept pouring down on the black mantises, it seemed to have no effect on them. They continued to devour the mermaid's flesh and blood as if nothing was wrong.
"That's strange!"
Upon seeing this, Junran and Junyu were both surprised. "It's ineffective. Could it be that these black mantises are immune to the corrosion of the black rain?"
They had witnessed firsthand how terrifying the black rain was; it could even corrode trees. How could it be ineffective against these black mantises?
“Look carefully.”
At this moment, Shi Wuxie, while munching on a dark blue crystal, pointed at the mantises and said, "It's not that it's ineffective, but that the mantises have waterproof hairs on their bodies, so the black rainwater can't penetrate into their bodies at all."
"really!"
Upon being alerted, everyone immediately noticed.
Just as Shi Wuxie had said, the black rainwater was blocked by the hairs the moment it touched the mantis's body, and then slid off to the ground from both sides, without touching the black mantis's body at all.
As for the black rain that fell to the ground that day, it was nothing but a drop in the ocean in this long-arid desert. It couldn't form puddles, nor could it restrain the black mantis from its feet.
Therefore, those black mantises could be said to be fearless when facing mermaids.
"Absolute suppression, these mantises are too powerful!"
