Chapter 15 The Yellow Bird Behind
In the fountain pool, the huge golden cicada suddenly made a rapid chirping sound, as if it was asking for help or begging for mercy.
Hua Yang suddenly wanted to laugh. Why did she feel like a bug would cry out for help?
At this moment, a strange scene happened.
Next to the fountain, a huge figure that was three meters tall covered most of the pool. Looking at it, the three of them couldn't help but exclaimed.
This is a giant green praying mantis.
There are two white jade eyes at both ends of the triangular head. If they didn't look so ferocious, these eyes would be really beautiful. Its limbs are thick and straight, and they have a little metallic texture after being reflected by the sunlight. The pair of sickles folded in front of the chest, on the folded blades, two rows of sharp gears and giant thorns are glowing, which shows that they are very sharp.
Its abdomen was huge, like a half-bent wooden boat, and its compound eyes swayed up and down, making a warning sound like a rattlesnake shaking its tail.
It was very alert and stood by the fountain for a long time without moving. Only the tentacles on its head moved around from time to time. Hua Yang knew that it was waiting to see if there was any danger nearby.
Meng Yi and Wu Tianqi stared at the giant mantis with wide eyes. They had already made a comparison in their minds. This thing was bigger than both of them combined. Was this the reason why Hua Yang entered the school?
Meng Yi, in particular, wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, "Can I leave now? The three of us are not enough to fill its teeth, right?" But thinking of the corpses on the ground, Meng Yi said, "No, this thing has no teeth, but I don't want to be cut into pieces by those sickles!"
Hua Yang glanced at him and made a gesture to keep quiet.
This mantis is very cautious and will run away at the slightest disturbance.
Time passed by bit by bit, and finally, the giant mantis could no longer hold back and flapped its wings on its back. The jade-like color was really dazzling. If Hua Yang and the others did not know the culprit of the corpses by the fountain pool, they would have thought that it was a giant beautiful model.
Its wings vibrated at a high frequency, driving its entire body into the air. Although it was so huge, its speed was amazing. Before Hua Yang could react, it had already appeared in the sky above the center of the fountain pool, intending to rush towards the huge golden cicada that she had thrown into the pool.
Although the giant cicada had lost its ability to move by Hua Yang, it could see its natural enemy getting closer and closer to it, and its sharp sickle might cut it in half in the next second.
So, it twisted its fat belly, rubbed the limbs behind its mouth, and made strange and high-pitched screams.
Hua Yang exclaimed in surprise, this sound was very familiar to her.
In her previous life, she had experienced many battles with mutant creatures, and this kind of sound was often made by monsters when they summoned their companions.
The giant mantis didn't know if it was startled by his voice or what, but its huge body suddenly stopped and its white jade eyes became dull.
What was even more strange was that the giant mantis seemed to be suddenly cursed. Its wings stopped flapping and it quickly fell from a great height, landing in the fountain where the cicada was, splashing huge amounts of water.
However, due to its huge size, it only flapped its wings in the water for a few times before it used its legs to stand up on the edge of the fountain.
After leaving the fountain, the giant mantis was enraged. It shook off all the water on its body, flapped its wings again, flew up into the sky, and then quickly dived down, with the sickle on its chest wide open, ready to give the culprit who caused it to fall into the water a fatal blow.
Seeing this, Hua Yang broke out in a cold sweat. She had underestimated the enemy. The species in nature are magical, and the creatures after the apocalypse will evolve some magical abilities. She didn't expect that this seemingly powerless golden cicada actually had this trick.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that if she had such a sonic attack on the enemy when fighting with an enemy of equal strength in the future, then who would be my opponent?
Although there is a breeding circle in the farmyard in the space, which should be able to raise creatures, I don't know if this golden cicada can survive in my space?
That's right, just now when the giant golden cicada attacked the giant mantis with sonic waves and caused it to fall into the water, Hua Yang had the idea of taking the golden cicada under his command.
It seems that we can't let this big mantis succeed.
Just as she clenched the axe and was about to rush over to save Jin Chan, a strange sound suddenly appeared in the sky.
Hua Yang stopped and looked up, then immediately shrank back.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?"
Meng Yi couldn't help but yell.
If someone with trypophobia was around, they would faint instantly. Because the densely packed black objects were dark brown with a little bit of golden light, just like the remaining golden cicada in the water.
"That area is full of cicadas. Remember the strange cry of the golden cicada just now? It must have called for help."
Hua Yang explained softly, feeling lucky that she didn't go out just now. There was such a large area, and each golden cicada was so big. One bite from each one would kill the mantis, right?
Although thinking so, in the food chain of nature, mantises are the natural enemies of cicadas, which in itself puts mantises at the top.
A large group of cicadas, chirping, flew towards the mantis, quickly surrounding it. Hua Yang and the other two couldn't see the mantis at all.
The cicadas were chirping loudly, perhaps they were collectively launching the same sonic attack as before.
Soon Hua Yang discovered that the mantis that was originally flying in the air seemed to have suddenly lost its ability to fly, and fell down suddenly and fell into the water again.
Is this going to be a defeat?
It seems that the food chain is not so reliable at the end of the world?
But at this moment, a sharp sound suddenly came from the mantis's abdomen. A wind eye as big as the diameter of a fountain suddenly appeared and swept the entire cicada group.
The large group of golden cicadas that were originally arranged neatly were blown to pieces by the huge eye of the wind. Many of them were swept into the eye of the wind and were rolled into several pieces in just a few seconds.
Seeing this opportunity, the mantis jumped out of the fountain, and the large sickle on its chest opened and closed as it attacked the scattered cicadas.
Only then did Hua Yang see clearly what Mantis looked like now.
The tentacles on its head had been broken off at this moment, and its limbs and abdomen were full of pits, like bite wounds.
The most tragic thing was that the wings on its back, which were as white as jade, were now completely broken. The wounds all over its body were oozing with emerald green liquid, and it looked completely different from its previous appearance, and looked extremely miserable.
The situation of the group of golden cicadas was not much better at this time.
Some of them were killed by the wind from the mantis, and the bodies that fell to the ground were broken into pieces. But what made Hua Yang covetous were the white crystals that fell from the broken golden cicada bodies. They were all energy crystal cores!
Although the amount of crystal core energy is related to the size of the crystal core, these white crystal cores are not big, but they are numerous. After the currency is completely useless, these crystals and zombie crystal cores are all money!
The giant mantis was furious and was using its scythe to harvest the lives of the remaining cicadas in the group. After it had harvested more than half of the remaining cicadas, it saw that the situation was not going well and began to run away, not caring about its companions who were asking for help in the fountain pool.
But after its dignity was offended, the giant mantis would not let its enemy slip away, so it retreated and bounced its huge body, then jumped towards the few remaining cicadas.
The giant sickle was raised, and as it opened and closed, another batch of corpses fell to the ground. Less than ten cicadas actually flew away.
At this time, the mantis was finally exhausted and fell from the air with its belly facing up. After struggling for a few times, it didn't even have the strength to turn over.
Hua Yang's eyes lit up and her brows raised.
Beautiful! A loss for both sides, isn't that the outcome she wants to see the most? I just don't know if the giant mantis is dead.
However, Meng Yi was faster than her and had already rushed over, his target was the white crystals on the ground.
