"Sister Xiaoyu, it's right here!" Xiaohu was very excited, as if he had gotten some interesting toy and wanted to share it with everyone, so he pulled off the black cloth at once.
A large iron cage more than one meter wide was welded with iron rods thicker than your thumb. It can be said to be quite strong. There was a huge mantis standing in the cage.
The huge forelimbs, like sickles, kept slashing on the iron cage, sparks flying, leaving shallow marks on the iron bars. It was full of force. As soon as the black cloth was peeled off,
The mantis immediately stopped attacking the cage that restrained it, and instead stared at Chen Dasheng and the others with its huge eyes.
Still alive!
Chen Dasheng was a little surprised. A mantis could actually grow to such a big size. It almost turned into a monster. He used to think that the little tiger was bragging. But now he saw that he was not bragging. The real thing was bigger than the little tiger described.
One minute is nearly one meter long.
Chen Dasheng had never seen such a big mantis before. When he saw it now, he couldn't help but feel that it was extremely strange. Not only did this mountain support people, but the mantises it raised were also so big.
"Wow!"
Xiong Xiaoyu was also obviously surprised. He covered his mouth and exclaimed, and immediately pulled Xiaohu back a step, fearing that the mantis's sickle foot would swing over, and the sickle foot would create sparks on the iron rod.
If you cut it on the neck, you will definitely have to cut off the whole head.
"Sister Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, it can't escape!" Xiaohu showed his courage as a little man at this time, and instead comforted Xiong Xiaoyu.
"Such a big mantis. We have never seen it before!" At this time, Xiong Qingshan came over. Many people gathered around him. The prey had been almost distributed, and everyone looked at it in wonder.
"Looking at the strength of this guy, I'm afraid it must weigh hundreds or thousands of kilograms." Chen Dasheng nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the big mantis, and he felt inexplicably that something was not right about this mantis.
Xiong Qingshan said, "When we met it in the mountains, this guy was preying on a goshawk. When he swung the sickle, he was definitely no less than a martial arts master. It took us a lot of effort to catch it. It took several times.
A brother is even injured!"
Xiong Qingshan's strength is not very high. He is only at the level of a ninth-level martial artist, not even a martial artist. However, the people of this Miao village do not pay much attention to martial arts cultivation. They pay more attention to the physical body and ancient legends.
Although Xiong Qingshan is not even a martial artist, Chen Dasheng will not underestimate him because of this, just like himself. Although the realm is only an eighth-level martial artist, his combat power is far beyond the realm, so Chen Dasheng has a reason
I believe that Xiong Qingshan will not be too bad.
Several men nearby nodded after hearing Xiong Qingshan's words, and even showed Chen Dasheng the wounds on their bodies. Although the injuries were not serious, they were quite glaring, and it was obvious that they had gone through a hard battle.
A mantis can fight with so many men. Chen Dasheng's eyes couldn't help but have strange colors in his eyes. No wonder this guy is the ancestor of Mantis Boxing. Not only is his boxing skills powerful, his sword skills are also extraordinary!
"Dang, Dang..."
Seeing that more and more people were watching, the big mantis in the cage once again swung the sickle and beat the iron cage angrily, fluttering its wings, trying to escape.
Everyone spread out in a circle and did not dare to get too close. This thing is not only brutal and aggressive. Anyone familiar with the habits of mantises knows that when this kind of creature is short of food, it dares to prey on things larger than them.
creatures, even eating their own kind.
"Dad, look, its belly is moving, isn't it about to give birth?" At this time, the little tiger pointed at the big mantis in the cage and purred at Xiong Qingshan.
When everyone heard this, their eyes shifted from the mantis' scythe to its big belly. The big white belly kept moving, as if something was about to burst out of the belly.
"Oh, strange, it turns out to be a female praying mantis!" Someone in the crowd laughed out loud.
Those people who were still busy nearby ran over when they heard that the praying mantis was about to give birth. There were no entertainment projects in the mountains. No one wanted to miss the strange things happening at this time.
"Everyone get out of the way!"
While everyone was quietly waiting for the mantis to give birth, a majestic and old voice came from behind.
"Grandma?"
Everyone turned around and saw Granny Xiong walking towards them with a cold face, followed by two disciples, Apo and Gillian. They immediately and respectfully moved out of the way. In Xiongjiazhai, everyone, regardless of gender, old or young,
For those who call Grandma Xiong Grandma, Grandma Xiong’s status can be said to be supreme.
The appearance of Grandma Xiong made everyone hold their breath. They were obviously shocked by Grandma Xiong's majesty and aura.
Grandma Xiong walked to the iron cage and looked at the mantising mantis in the cage. A glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. She immediately took two steps back and yelled at the onlookers, "Everyone, immediately
leave here."
"Grandma?" Everyone was a little confused when they heard this. Xiong Qingshan opened his mouth, wanting to ask something.
"Now, hurry up!" Grandma Xiong scolded, her eyes widening.
Everyone was silent. Even if they had doubts in their hearts, no one had the courage to ask. No one dared to resist Grandma Xiong’s prestige. They quickly dispersed, took the prey and quickly left the square. Originally,
I still wanted to see the excitement, but unfortunately the appearance of Grandma Xiong ended the trip on bad terms.
"Da Sheng, you stay!"
Chen Dasheng was about to leave with Xiaoyu, Abo, Gillian and the others, but was stopped by Grandma Xiong. When he looked back, Grandma Xiong was staring at him. Chen Dasheng was a little confused, but he still stopped and stayed.
But Xiaoyu, Xiaohu and the others turned around in five steps and reluctantly left.
"Senior, is something wrong?"
The people quickly finished walking, and only Chen Dasheng and Grandma Xiong were left in the square, as well as the big mantis that kept chirping in the cage. Under the light of the bonfire, the two figures made the old man grow taller.
, Chen Dasheng didn't quite understand. Is such a praying mantis worthy of Grandma Xiong being so cautious?
Grandma Xiong looked at the praying mantis in the cage, her face full of solemnity, "Have you ever heard of Dao Mantis Tencel?"
"Sword Mantis Tencel?"
Chen Dasheng was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. This surprise was not because the name Dao Mantis was the same as the name of Xiao Dao, but because he read the book of rare treasures that Chen Xiaoli gave him.
I have seen that there is a list of poisonous insects in the rare treasures record, which records many strange and strange poisons. The sunset lizard that I encountered before ranked fifth on the list of poisonous insects, and the sword beetle Tencel ranked seventh.
.
"Senior, as far as I know, the sword mantis Tencel is a kind of long insect, but this is obviously a praying mantis?" Chen Dasheng was a little confused. The description on the poisonous insect list is not detailed, but the thing in front of him is different from the poisonous insect list.
The illustrations are completely different.
Grandma Xiong said, "Do you know why it is called Daomantis Tiansi? The poison I am talking about is not the big mantis in front of you, but the Tencel in the belly of this praying mantis."
"Huh?" Chen Dasheng was stunned, and then said, "Senior, you mean, iron worms?"
"That's right!" Grandma Xiong nodded slightly, "Tencel is just an iron worm, but this kind of tencel is much stronger than ordinary iron worms!"
Ironworm is a parasite that lives in insects. It looks like an iron wire. It is most common in the body of a mantis. When Chen Dasheng was a child, he often ran in the mountains and saw a lot of them. At that time, he thought they were mantises.
The larvae, I later found out, were a type of parasite.
Ranked seventh on the list of poisonous insects, it was obviously not easy. The power of the sunset lizard was still fresh in Chen Dasheng's memory. If it weren't for Yao Yun's antidote, my sister might have died long ago.
No wonder Grandma Xiong wanted everyone to leave. It turned out that there was such poison hidden in the belly of this big praying mantis. At this time, Chen Dasheng also became cautious. Looking at the tumbling belly of the praying mantis, Chen Dasheng said, "It's about to come out.
What?"
Grandma Xiong shook her head, "This praying mantis won't come out until it dies!"
"Oh!" Chen Dasheng felt relieved, and then asked again, "Senior, do you want to destroy this thing?"
