Dark Moon Era

Chapter 121: Dance of the Blades (Part 1)

Views:

The color-changing black-winged mantis, as a third-level mutated insect, is only a few orders of magnitude different from the intelligence of the insect spirit.

But even so, on the edge of this battlefield, with its poor wisdom, it can actually experience an emotion called satisfaction.

Yes, very satisfied.

It shines with purple light that can speed up its own evolution, even though it is very thin.

Occasionally, you can encounter creatures that have escaped from the battlefield. They are usually injured. They have a high success rate of sneak attacks by hiding in the dark. For those who can enter the battlefield, the energy contained in their flesh is not too low.

And in this terrain, if you encounter a powerful guy, you can rely on the talent of changing color to hide.

Finally, when we get close to the jungle, we encounter an 'unlucky guy' who has not been injured for many days. He can also enter the jungle to hunt for prey.

Although its poor intelligence can only experience satisfaction and cannot analyze it, relying on instinct, it is unwilling to leave this place and will even defend it to the death.

After some time, it will evolve and become a fourth-level mutant insect. Now, the fourth lavender origin representing the insect's mutation level has vaguely appeared on its back wings.

As a result, the color-changing black-winged mantis patrolled the territory with more and more arrogance. As long as it evolved into a fourth-level mutant insect, at least at the edge of the battlefield, it would not be the weakest, but would be able to enter the middle-level strength class.

Tang Ling threw a stone in his hand, tilted his head, and looked at the color-changing black-winged mantis less than fifty meters away from him with interest.

He was curious, what happened to this half-human-sized mantis? Have you lost the vigilance that a third-level mutated insect should have? He actually ignored himself at this distance and even walked in strange steps with his head held high.

Tang Ling didn't think that level three mutated insects could produce intelligence with the ability to think.

At best, there is only a glimmer of self-awareness.

How can just a little bit of self-awareness have such a magical effect? In this world, the most terrifying ability is indeed wisdom.

With such emotion, Tang Ling had no intention of exploring the inner world of the color-changing black-winged mantis. His precise instincts were running at high speed. The moment the black-winged mantis spotted him, he quickly rushed over, still thirty-seven meters away from him.

Tang Ling threw the stone in his hand.

One punch has thousands of kilograms of power. It is not an extreme explosion, but an ordinary punch, so Tang Ling's power at this time is also terrifying.

The stone he threw had a sharp angle. Although it was not big, it was dense in texture and weighed more than a kilogram.

When Tang Ling threw it with all his strength, it actually made a very slight 'whooshing' sound. Thanks to the precision instinct, the angle was extremely tricky and the speed was extremely fast.

The target was the soft abdomen of the Black Winged Mantis, a weakness that Tang Ling had concluded from the last fight.

'Bang', with a crisp sound, the black-winged mantis spread its wings and blocked the stone at a faster speed.

The sharp stone only left a shallow white mark on its wings and did nothing more, but it also successfully aroused the anger of the black-winged mantis.

It chased after him without hesitation. The weak aura exuded by Tang Ling made it have no scruples.

But Tang Ling had already run at this time. In fact, 37 meters was the optimal distance. This was the best result after Tang Ling's speed increased and his precise instinctive calculations.

If it was a flat ground, a distance of 21 meters would be enough for Tang Ling to escape, but the complex terrain required Tang Ling to distance himself further.

Therefore, the moment Tang Ling threw the stone, he was already running 31 degrees to the left of the straight line.

He is as nimble as a monkey, running among the complex, intertwined, high and low ruins with no more effort than a black-winged mantis with a few extra legs.

The terrain of this place had been memorized repeatedly by him during the first battle, and now he was familiar with it. Coupled with the second observation before, he was more confident, just like entering his own back garden.

The complex terrain not only brought convenience to Black Winged Mantis, but also benefited Tang Ling. When Tang Ling also had the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, he was always able to maintain a certain distance, constantly provoking the black-winged mantis with stones, and urging it to move towards his established target point.

Until they entered an unusually narrow alley.

Here, the density of building ruins has reached an outrageous level. Almost every three or two steps, there is a broken wall blocking the road. The width that allows smooth passage is less than 1.2 meters.

Moreover, various rusty steel bars, branches of several large trees, low bushes, and spiky branches intertwined in the sky here, almost blocking the way up.

Although the length is only less than 30 meters, it is enough to be used as a battlefield for a decisive battle.

After running here and going more than ten meters deep, Tang Ling finally stopped.

He was not sure of victory. In fact, his plan was very risky and required a certain amount of luck. But for some reason, the excitement and blood stimulated him slightly.

Is there any reason for someone like him who relies too much on food not to take risks

In less than two seconds, the color-changing black-winged mantis also entered this place, almost without any hesitation.

Obviously, what pissed him off was that the prey was seeking death and had wandered into such a place.

It slid across the ten-meter distance in one dive. At the same time, its sharp 'double blades' that were invincible also slashed towards Tang Ling. The angle they opened almost sealed the entire narrow alleyway, leaving no one to avoid it. Can be avoided.

Right now, Tang Ling's precise instincts were operating to the extreme. The extremely fast movements of the color-changing black-winged mantis in his mind were almost broken down into slow motion.

The extremely fast calculations resulted in only three plans, with a survival rate of more than 50%.

The first is to grab the steel bar less than one meter above him in the next moment and jump into the space above.

Second, jump diagonally, push the wall with your left foot with all your strength, and use the bonus of reaction force to jump into the bushes on the right. You will be stabbed, but the bushes will block or even slow down the black-winged mantis's slashing attack. Rolling in time can avoid the result of a clean break.

Third, there is a small hole less than 20 centimeters in the broken wall below. I use all my strength to kick it towards it. There is an 80% probability that I can expand the space. In this broken wall When it collapses, you can immediately lie down and slide over to avoid the slashing attack.

These plans must meet the tight time limit for immediate execution, and the body and reaction speed must keep up. It is a high-intensity requirement without a trace of delay.

The best one is undoubtedly the first plan. According to Tang Ling's current ability, there is almost a 95% success rate, which greatly improves the 50% survival rate.

The tight time required Tang Ling to make a judgment immediately.

However, Tang Ling was very disappointed. The effect of precision instinct seemed to be more effective in actual combat than in pre-battle rehearsals.

Because he discovered that his pre-war calculations were slightly off. If he chose these three options, it would almost mean that the battle had failed again.
