Chapter 129 The Orchid Mantis That Eats Its Spouse
"A-rank monsters, and more than one! Sister, I'm scared!" Helian Fenghua tightly gripped Helian Xueyue's hand.
"Shall we continue fighting?"
"beat!"
Helian Xueyue patted Helian Fenghua on the back.
Bai Zhizhou silently took out a manual of formation techniques:
“We can fight A-rank monsters, but it will take a lot of time. Let’s first find out what kind of monster it is.”
"I remember that A-rank monsters are quite troublesome for many college students, so we were lucky in a different sense this time."
Zhang Min has an older brother who, after entering university, searches for secret realms in order to find A-level demonic creatures. The crystal cores of A-level demonic creatures are precious, and they are the key to many cultivators advancing from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. If they can capture an A-level demonic creature, the person among them who gets the crystal core will have obtained a ticket to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. How could this not make everyone's eyes burn with desire?
Jiang He wasn't interested in the crystal cores as much as the monsters themselves. Thinking of the monster corpses piled up in the mustard seed bag, she immediately thought of the fertilizer in the planting space. Doubling the planting space would require even more fertilizer.
Last time, the S-rank monster was able to trigger a new skill, and the red spider silk played a significant role when she was repeatedly defeated by her opponents. Therefore, Jiang He was even more interested in the corpse of the A-rank monster.
No one turned back when they reached the cave entrance.
Jin Dazhu, acting as the tank, led the way to scout the path.
The dark cave was fraught with danger. Jin Dazhu had just stepped into the range of the A-level monster when a sharp blade appeared in the darkness. It appeared silently and then launched an attack silently.
Jin Dazhu was about to take a step when he was thrown to the ground, and Jiang He and the others behind him were not spared either.
“We’ve been discovered!”
Why whisper? This gust of wind was extremely domineering. After being knocked to the ground, he tried to stand up but was knocked down again.
Since they've already been discovered by the monsters, there's no point in hiding anymore.
Jiang He quickly turned on the lights, and the incandescent bulbs illuminated the entire cave.
Soon, a horrifying scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
A huge orchid appeared before them, and if one did not look closely, one could not even see the demon.
But if you look closely, you will see an orchid mantis in motion. Because it looks like an orchid, it blends into its surroundings when it is still, but at this moment its mouthparts are constantly chewing, and a piercing sound echoes between the caves.
A six-meter-long orchid mantis is pinning down another orchid mantis that is not yet three meters long.
The six-meter-long orchid mantis was an A-rank monster, and the mantis being pressed down was also an A-rank monster, but what was terrifying was that the smaller A-rank monster's head and body were completely separated.
As for its head, it was swallowed and chewed by the six-flowered mantis.
This scene of a female orchid mantis devouring its own kind had a profound impact on Helian Fenghua.
There were two A-rank monsters right in front of her. Normally, it would be a good thing if one A-rank monster was eaten by the other, but she found the sight of the female orchid mantis slowly devouring the male orchid mantis bizarre and disgusting.
Helian Fenghua straightened up and spat out a mouthful of bitter water:
"What kind of monster is this orchid mantis? It even eats its own kind, it disgusts me."
Why be unfamiliar with the orchid mantis? He took out his search device and searched the monster in front of him, but the information he obtained was very limited:
Female orchid mantis: Order Mantises, Family Mantisidae. They possess exceptional camouflage abilities; beware of their sickle-like claws.
Weakness: Abdomen.
Survival status: Highly resilient
Male orchid mantis: Belongs to the family Mantisidae in the order Mantodea. They possess exceptional camouflage abilities; beware of their sickle-like claws.
Survival status: Dead
"I thought there were more than one A-rank monster, but it turns out there are only two. The male orchid mantis has been eaten by the female orchid mantis. Although it is undeniable that this behavior is a bit perverted, there is only one orchid mantis now. Does that mean it will be easier to fight?"
Helian Fenghua gradually stood up, ready to attack the orchid mantis.
Helian Xueyue and Bai Zhizhou together stopped Helian Fenghua:
"Something's not right. The male orchid mantis that was eaten by the female should be its mate."
Bai Zhizhou excelled in academic exams, and his score in Monster Studies almost always ranked first in Beihuai No.1 Middle School.
He looked at the orchid mantis's swollen abdomen and realized something was wrong:
"This female orchid mantis is pregnant. Her behavior of eating her mate is called cannibalism, which is done in order to obtain nutrition and reproduce."
"And now she is hungry. At this time, the pressure to reproduce will force her to seize every opportunity to prey on any creature she can catch, including male mantises and foreign invaders."
As Bai Zhizhou looked at the female orchid mantis, the orchid mantis also looked at Jiang He and the others, its prominent compound eyes full of predatory intent.
This was the first time the group had faced the A-rank monster, the Orchid Mantis, and they were still unclear about its attack characteristics. Any rash actions might provoke the monster before them.
Moreover, the orchid mantis monster is a natural predator, even hunting its own kind, let alone Jiang He and the others.
Helian Fenghua remained in one position after hearing Bai Zhizhou's words.
When the female orchid mantis realized that her prey had stopped moving, she slowly finished eating her mate's head. After waiting for a long time, she noticed that the humans opposite her were still not moving. Seemingly impatient, she abandoned the male orchid mantis beneath her and flew towards Jiang He and the others.
"It moved! What huge forelegs!" He Bi exclaimed, looking at the orchid mantis.
Bai Zhizhou glanced at its shinbone, which resembled a guillotine, and understood what was going on:
"The sickle mentioned on the machine is the foreleg of an orchid mantis, everyone please pay attention!"
The orchid mantis, having lost all patience with the group of humans of low cultivation level, raised its forelegs high and then quickly brought them down.
Jin Dazhu looked at the "scythe" so close to his eyes and pulled his shield to its maximum, but his cultivation level was clearly insufficient to withstand this attack.
The "sickle" pierced through Jin Dazhu's body and went straight through him.
The orchid mantis threw the golden pillar far away, then pulled out its forelegs.
Jin Dazhu's body was hit on the ground, and blood was rapidly draining from his body.
"Jin Dazhu!" He Bi rushed to Jin Dazhu and quickly fed him a hemostatic pill, but the orchid mantis's forelegs seemed to have other liquids, which caused the white blood cells gathered on Jin Dazhu's skin to become inactive and unable to coagulate the moment they came into contact with Jin Dazhu's wound.
With his blood clotting function failing, more and more blood is being lost from Jin Dazhu's body. If he doesn't receive treatment, he will die from excessive blood loss.
