The dark green mantis monster had its entire head bitten, and could only emit painful insect-like chirps.
It never expected that the strongest member of its own race, who had just been kind to it and even wanted to reward it, would turn around and kill it the next moment!
Click!
The mantis species has a very slender neck.
Even the mantis monsters of this other world have very fragile neck joints.
Soon, the head of the dark green mantis monster was bitten off by the giant mantis.
Squeak...squeak! Squeak!
A tooth-grinding chewing sound rang out.
The giant praying mantis chewed on the head of its own kind with a satisfied expression.
The brain tissue fluid was a mixture of red and white, along with the monster crystal core inside the head.
The taste was truly indescribable.
The giant mantis absorbed the energy from the monster's crystal core, and the wound on its waist healed somewhat.
The originally bright blue light, which had been hindering the healing of its wounds and causing it great pain, has now dimmed.
The pain from the wound gradually subsided.
The giant mantis monster's anthropomorphic expression showed an even wider smile.
It glanced around the vicinity.
A large number of mantis monsters of its own kind surrounded the giant mantis.
Their gazes toward it held fear, admiration, and joy.
"Damn Icebound Deer! How dare it ambush me while I was obtaining the elixir! It's caused my wound to fail to heal..."
"Decades ago, everyone was just entering the Overlord level, but recently it has actually entered the mid-Platinum level! If it weren't for the difference in realm, how could I have been successfully ambushed?!"
"...Sooner or later, I will tear it to pieces!"
The mantis monster, sensing its wounds, cursed with a gloomy expression.
However, it then climbed down from the big rock, walked to its designated seat, and took out a small box.
The box appears to be made of bamboo, with a faint green glow enveloping it.
The bamboo veins are clearly visible.
Gently open the box, and two spiritual herbs are immediately revealed, emanating a rich spiritual energy.
The giant mantis head stepped forward, took a deep breath, and an excited expression immediately appeared on its face.
"...Hehe...Two top-grade spiritual herbs, if you really think about it, I'm not at a loss at all."
"Some unlucky souls, whose cultivation had reached the mid- or late-stage of Platinum, failed to obtain even a single top-tier spiritual herb. Some were even more unfortunate and died on that battlefield."
"Although I am only at the early Platinum level, my luck is astonishing, and I have actually managed to obtain two top-grade spiritual herbs..."
Hehe, it's said that in some worlds there are beings whose destiny converges, known as the Chosen Ones. Could it be that I am the Chosen One of this world?! Hahaha…”
The overlord-level mantis monster laughed triumphantly.
"So it seems that although I was ambushed and injured by that damned stupid deer, this gain is still enough to make others envious..."
"It seems that stupid deer didn't even get a single top-grade spiritual herb..."
"How dare you ambush me! You deserve it! Once I've recovered from my injuries and fully absorbed the medicinal power of these two herbs at my peak, my strength will increase dramatically, and I'll definitely be able to kill that stupid deer!!"
The dominant mantis glanced somewhat reluctantly at the two medicinal herbs in the box.
Its instinct is to absorb it directly.
However, its reason told it that it was injured and that if it forced the medicine to be absorbed, it would not be able to utilize 100% of its power.
I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to obtain this precious elixir again in this lifetime. I must fully absorb it to avoid any regrets...
It closed the lid.
This box is also made from the bamboo used for nurturing spirits.
It can preserve the spiritual power of medicinal herbs to a great extent, preventing them from losing their spiritual energy over time.
After assessing its own injuries, the dominant mantis turned its attention to its other members of the clan.
The injuries this time were really too severe.
If I rely solely on my own slow recovery, I don't know how long it will take.
And these people of his own kind share the same bloodline as him; devouring his own kind can greatly accelerate the recovery from his injuries.
It is said that some powerful secret techniques can even be used to enhance one's own aptitude by utilizing one's clansmen...
The mantis tyrant gazed intently at its kin, choosing its next prey.
"Tsk tsk tsk, which one should I eat? This one looks plump and delicious, that one looks good too, and this one looks very robust; the meat should be quite chewy..."
The people in front of it were all related to it in some way, but this did not affect the mantis tyrant's appetite in the slightest.
My extended family... my second uncle? My aunt?
It's so delicious...
Just as it relaxes, selects a target, and intends to devour it directly.
Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken, and large amounts of liquid dripped from the sky.
Could it be raining?
The sun has been so strong lately, how come it suddenly started raining?
The mantis overlord looked up at the sky with some confusion, but the scene above was not as dark and cloudy as it had expected.
Instead, it was an unknown creature flying through the air.
The liquid that fell down was also emitted by these organisms.
"What are you, daring to run wild on our Blade Mantis territory! Playing tricks... I'll take you down!"
The mantis overlord roared, its blade-like forelimbs flashing with a bluish-green light. It swung them sharply into the air, sending a blade of light flying out and slashing at the creature in mid-air.
One creature was immediately hit and killed instantly, cut in half, its body falling down with the sprayed liquid.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
What is it?
The Blade Mantis Overlord was somewhat puzzled, as it felt the liquid dripping from its body seemed to be slightly warm.
However, its physical attributes are that of a dominant species, and the corrosive venom did not pose any threat to its body.
These creatures spraying corrosive venom were naturally the Zerg army that Zhao Zi'an had brought.
Although the Jetbug has undergone many evolutions and become exceptionally large, after being fitted with an endoskeleton and a faint trace of dragon blood, it has become a large Jetbug.
However, the tactics can still be used, the same routines as when they were still small insects.
Two large flying insects were seen in the sky, accompanied by a large jetting insect.
It flew over the territory of the Scizor.
Furthermore, this combination of insect bombers can cause them to release corrosive acid at an alarming rate...
