Chapter 256 Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
The others were not idle either.
The size of the mutant mantis had grown to half a person's height, but its speed had not slowed down at all.
It could even blend its body with the surrounding environment, a bit like Wang Hu's environment disguise ability.
The difference was that it achieved the purpose of invisibility by changing the color of its body.
Unfortunately, Liu Jianan's spiritual ability was the nemesis of all sleight of hand.
He shared his spiritual ability with Yang Shu and Black Whirlwind, who had stronger attack power.
The two immediately understood and rushed towards the direction of the third-level mutant mantis with their weapons.
Yang Shu was even faster. As soon as the Divine Domain Shadow Attack was launched, he knew everything that was happening in the domain.
The Swift Shadow Protection was activated instantly, giving him the ability to move through the shadows.
The next moment, his figure appeared behind the third-level mutant mantis.
The mutant mantis was very alert. Before Yang Shu's brass knuckles fell, it actually discovered Yang Shu's shadow.
It chose to jump away from Yang Shu's attack range at the first opportunity.
But it never expected that there was a dog-beating stick waiting for it on its escape route.
The Black Whirlwind had already ambushed on its escape route, waiting for it to jump up, and then hit it with a heavy stick when its defense was the weakest! The
Frost Dog-beating Stick was swung out with an afterimage, and a strong frost force attached to it. It seemed that even the air was frozen wherever it passed.
The mutant mantis was caught off guard and had no time to dodge.
It could only use its two arms to block.
The most powerful thing about the mutant mantis is its pair of mantis knives, which are as hard as iron and extremely sharp.
But it is still inferior to the Frost Dog Beating Stick made of dragon bones. In
addition, it has no fulcrum in mid-air.
And Black Whirlwind has a third-level divine power, so this blow weighs more than a thousand pounds!
"Bang!"
The Frost Dog Beating Stick smashed the third-level mutant mantis into the mud, and the mud and water splashed everywhere, but it was frozen by the cold air attached to the dog beating stick.
When the ice chips dispersed, Black Whirlwind raised the dog beating stick.
He saw that the third-level mutant mantis was completely embedded in the ice, and its whole body was smashed to pieces. It was dead and could not be deader.
On the other side, Xu Zhaoxin and Zhang Bao faced the third-level mutant purple bamboo.
Zhang Bao was given the fire attribute by Liu Jianan's divine fire, and the whole wild boar's mane was burning, looking particularly majestic.
However, it was still raining, and rainy days had a greater restriction on fire, so Liu Jianan asked Zhang Bao to fight as quickly as possible.
Xu Zhaoxin used his mind to control his mind-piercing thorn to restrict the movement of the purple bamboo and cut off many of its branches and leaves.
The third-level mutant purple bamboo naturally refused to surrender.
Although it is a plant, its roots have become its capital for movement during the mutation process.
As long as there is soil around, it can control the roots to move.
Facing the flames sprayed by Zhang Bao, it cleverly dodged, and from time to time it hid behind other mutant plants and animals, which was very slippery.
Liu Zhenan simply released the divine fire to block the escape route of the mutant purple bamboo. With its escape
route blocked, the mutant purple bamboo had to face the attack of Zhang Bao and Xu Zhaoxin.
Hu Jianye and his men were also on their way to support it.
Seeing that it could not escape, the mutant purple bamboo had to fight back.
It suddenly rose up against the wind, and as it changed, many purple bamboo needles as thin as cow hair suddenly appeared around it and kept spinning around it.
Then the purple bamboo needles that covered the sky and the ground attacked them.
Liu Zhenan was worried that this thing was hard to defend against and might contain a deadly poison.
To be on the safe side, he used the fourth-level metal control ability to borrow the Phoenix Blood Red Gold that Duan Haiping had left with him.
He controlled the Phoenix Blood Red Gold and protected everyone in the metal shield.
Although there were many purple bamboo needles, they were extremely small.
But they could not penetrate the defense of Phoenix Blood Red Gold.
Moreover, the burning effect of Phoenix Blood Red Gold directly burned these purple bamboos into ashes.
The third-level mutant purple bamboo took this opportunity to escape madly.
Hu Jianye wanted to chase it, but Liu Jianan stopped him: "Forget it, this mutant purple bamboo has many ways to escape, and chasing it is a waste of time. We just need to achieve the goal of killing the chicken to scare the monkey."
Hu Jianye looked around and saw that the mutant animals and plants that were ready to move before now only dared to roar from a distance and no longer dared to approach them.
Everyone sat on the palm of the little King Kong again and continued to look for Huang Dabei.
Wherever he passed, the mutant animals and plants avoided him, fearing that they would end up like the third-level mutant mantis and the third-level mutant leopard.
Liu Jianan put the bodies of the two mutant animals brought back by Hu Jianye and Yang Shu into the purple gold gourd.
He only cut out their beast spirit beads, washed them with clean water, and showed them to everyone.
"I can sense that these two third-level beast spirit beads contain rich chrysanthemum elements. It seems that when they were alive, they devoured a lot of other mutant animals and plants." Liu Jianan analyzed.
Then he said to everyone: "You can also collect more beast spirit beads in your daily life. This thing is very valuable and will be of great use in the future."
Hu Jianye rubbed his hands and said: "An An, you have also collected a lot of beast spirit beads. Are these beast spirit beads no longer useful except for feeding them to the little diamond?"
"Of course there is," Liu Jianan explained, "The thrombium element contained in the beast spirit beads is not stable enough and cannot be absorbed by humans at present. But perhaps there will be new technologies in the future to help humans absorb the beast spirit beads."
According to the book of supernatural powers, the Chinese Academy of Sciences will develop a machine called a quantitative instrument in the future.
This machine is used to extract the thrombium element in the beast spirit beads and then inject the thrombium element into the human body for slow absorption.
By that time, the value of the beast spirit pearls will soar, and it will be hard to find one.
The more he hoards now, the more wealth he will have in the future.
Xu Zhaoxin agreed with this: "Strictly speaking, the essence of the beast spirit beads is the same as that of the plant essences. They are both carriers for storing the chrysanthemum element. The only difference is that the beast spirit beads are carriers in the bodies of mutated animals, while the plant essences are carriers in the bodies of mutated plants."
The term "carrier" is very appropriate, and Liu Jianan nodded as he listened.
Xu Zhaoxin continued, "In fact, I suspect that there is also such a carrier in the human body. Maybe it is our organs, maybe it is our blood. If there is a chance, I would also like to study it."
Hu Jianye suddenly felt horrified: "Brother Xu, do you mean to dissect the superpowers?"
Xu Zhaoxin said with a smile, "Why would I dissect them? I am not a researcher. I just think this is a good research direction. I can talk to Jianan's research team someday."
Liu Jianan agreed very much, "I think it's okay. They should be very grateful for the inspiration and direction you give them."
As they chatted, they were almost reaching Huang Dabai's place without knowing it.
"Be alert!" Liu Jianan reminded.
Hu Jianye asked: "An'an, have you noticed any danger?"
Liu Jian'an shook his head. In fact, his consciousness did not give him any dangerous signals.
But if there was no danger at all, why was Huang Dabei nearby, but he could not sense it?
There must be some powerful existence that blocked his consciousness.
