This elite spider, which was obviously not weak in strength, was neatly cut in half and fell into the grass. There was no trace of a fight around it.
Zhang Mu said softly: "Be careful to retreat, let's get out of here."
When the five people saw the elite spider, they were already feeling terrified. The spider elite took Liu Yao away for no more than five minutes. In other words, it died here not long ago. The thing that killed the spider may not have gone far after all.
There are dense grasses all around, many of which are nearly as tall as a person. No one knows what is hidden inside. A gust of wind blew from the south, blowing through the weeds and shrubs, and there was a rustling sound as the branches and leaves rubbed against each other. The six people suddenly felt that it was quiet, too quiet.
Except for the sound of wind and the sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other.
I couldn't even hear the chirping of birds.
Zhang Mu looked up at the tree not far away, as if by some strange mistake, his heart suddenly tightened. There is a huge monster on the tall tree. It is green all over and blends into the tree. It is about one and a half meters tall and more than four meters long. It has a triangular head, large and bright compound eyes, slender antennae on its head, huge and abnormal forelimbs, and sickle-shaped tibias... This, It's a praying mantis!
[Death Mantis], level 6 silver elite, life 600, magic 400, attributes? ? ? ,Skill? ? ? , Introduction: The praying mantis symbolizes death!
No one would believe that there is a four-meter-long mantis in the world unless they have seen it with their own eyes!
This damn insect is much bigger than a buffalo!
The death mantis stands on six thin legs, with two sickle forelimbs holding a black object, which is the head of the spider elite. It slowly eats it with its chewing mouthparts. Most of the spider's head is eaten away, and it becomes sticky. The liquid keeps dripping onto the leaves below. While the mantis was eating the spider's head, he stared coldly at the six people below with his dark, emotionless compound eyes.
Although the Death Mantis is only at level 6, it can be used as a silver elite, and its combat power is far greater than that of the bronze elite Deinonychus at level 7.
The Death Mantis is too strong and a speed monster. Zhang Mu's current equipment and skills may not be able to deal with it. However, the death mantis already has its favorite food, so it is not very interested in a few people. As long as it is not provoked, it should not attack. They all had a tacit understanding and slowly backed away without saying a word.
"What's wrong, everyone!" Qin Min couldn't see and didn't realize the danger. He felt that the atmosphere around him was not right, so he asked subconsciously.
The death mantis was startled. The triangular head suddenly raised up, and its black gem-like compound eyes glowed with a cruel and fierce light.
Zhang Mu was shocked: "Oh no, let's go!"
The death mantis suddenly opened its wings, and its green figure swooped over like a gust of wind.
Zhang Mu immediately lay down and felt the strong wind blowing over his head, a clump of hair being cut off, and the strong wind sweeping towards the people behind him.
The green arm blade of the mantis slashed towards him. Sun Bing almost had no time to react. As soon as he raised his shield, he flew backwards several meters away and hit a tree hard. The shield fell out of his hand and fell ten meters away. There were many things on the shield. A deep knife mark appeared. Sun Bing covered his bloody right hand and rolled and screamed in pain. Because his body was not strong enough to withstand the strong force, his arm was fractured on the spot. Even though Sun Bing was like this, other people were chopped with a knife. Apart from blood splattering and being dismembered on the spot in five steps, there was really no other possibility that could be thought of.
The fat man was horrified and retreated hastily, not daring to fight with him.
Chen Ling was so frightened that she hid in a bush and did not dare to show her face.
The death mantis was attracted to Leng Yun and Qin Min. Leng Yun ran the slowest because he had to pull Qin Min.
When Zhang Mu stood up, he happened to see the Death Mantis raising a blade arm. He quickly slid over and shouted at the same time: "Be careful, it is going to use skills to attack, get out of the way!"
too late.
The death mantis arm blade swung out an air blade that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, flattening the grass wherever it passed. Qin Min and Leng Yun were both hit, and blood spattered out. They fell to the ground, life or death unknown.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Mu yelled angrily and slashed the mantis on the back with the fish-dear sword. The mantis's attack and speed were amazing, but its defense was not very good, and it was enough to cause 31 points of health. The left hand dagger stabbed into the abdomen of the mantis. Because of the assassination, it was very fast. The mantis did not rush to avoid it. There were multiple holes in the abdomen, and blood flowed out of it.
The death mantis made a piercing scream, and the arm blade moved with it, sweeping over like lightning. Zhang Mu took half a step back, and the tip of the blade passed by him, but it hit his body with great force. Fortunately, it was protected by leather armor, which only caused 17 points of damage. Zhang Mu is a level 5 ranger with only 60 health points in total, plus a 15-point bonus from equipment, so a total of 75 health points. Just being scratched by the attack of the Death Mantis, it was reduced by 17 points. This shows how powerful the Death Mantis's attack power is.
Zhang Mu bent down to avoid the arm blade, and at the same time he pounced forward, he tore a deep wound with the fish-dreading sword. He just raised the dagger in his left hand and was about to mend it, but the death mantis swept the arm blade, and the dagger was directly hit. It was knocked away, and Zhang Mu's left hand was hit by the force and almost fractured.
There was a scream in the distance, and an ice arrow hit the back of the death mantis, causing 45 points of damage.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu felt a little relieved, at least Leng Yun was not dead!
The death mantis was affected by the frost and slowed down a lot. He turned angrily and looked in the direction of Leng Yun. Leng Yun's face was pale, and the fish bone staff was dripping with blood. He was obviously seriously injured. His beautiful eyes were filled with anger as he stared at the death mantis... Qin Min failed to stand up.
The fat man's eyes turned red when he saw this, and he roared loudly: "I will fight with you!"
Just as the Death Mantis was about to fly away, the Fat Man rushed over with a brutal charge, making the Death Mantis dizzy. The ax chopped off one of the Mantis' legs. After the Death Mantis woke up, it screamed and raised its arm blade to cut the Fat Man in two.
Sun Bing picked up the shield, "Bug, look here!" He shouted and used a taunt on the death mantis.
The death mantis turned back with an air blade. Although Sun Bing was well prepared and used his shield to block the attack, the huge force still knocked it away and he fell to the ground covered in blood. The fat man was about to attack again, but the Death Mantis struck him with his sickle arm. The fat man screamed and flew backwards. They were all seriously injured and it was impossible to continue fighting.
The death mantis had 70% of its health left and was about to pounce on the seriously injured Sun Bing. Zhang Mu had already picked up the dagger and shouted a few times to attract the mantis' attention. He quickly slid over and blocked him in front.
"squeak!"
The body of the death mantis rose up, staring down at Zhang Mu. It raised its two arm blades at the same time, crossing them to the left and right to slash towards Zhang Mu. If this blow had hit, Zhang Mu would definitely be cut into three pieces.
Zhang Mu stood motionless on the spot. The moment the mantis arm was about to hit his body, he activated his natural blessing. In the invincible state, the blade arm bounced away at the same time. The reaction force made the death mantis stumble backward. Zhang Mu seized the momentary flaw, jumped two meters high with all his strength, rotated the two swords in his palms, held them with his backhand, and thrust them into the eyes of the mantis.
No matter what kind of creature it is, the eyes must be critical and the most vulnerable part of the body.
Two swords, one long and one short, were inserted deeply into the eyes. This attack caused huge damage. The death mantis' health value dropped from 70% to more than 30% in an instant. At the same time, it screamed and fell back. Zhang Mu He drew out his dagger, rolled forward from the ground, avoided the flailing blade arms, and came to the flank of the mantis, slashing his back with two swords.
"hiss!"
The death mantis was blinded, but it was able to determine Zhang Mu's approximate position and slashed at him with his blade. Zhang Mu could barely keep up with the speed. He blocked it with his swords in front of him and staggered six or seven steps back before he regained his balance.
At this time, the fat man was covered in blood. He rushed over again and roared: "Kill!" He struck down with an ax and hit the connection between the head and the body. This is the smallest part of the mantis's body, and it is also one of the vital points. Almost half of his head was chopped off, and his health dropped to 15%.
Leng Yun came over with an ice arrow, causing 43 points of damage.
The Death Mantis's health is only 8%.
Zhang Mu and Fatty joined forces and launched another round of attacks. The death mantis fell to the ground, dead!
Three items exploded, a skill book, an emerald green sword, an emerald green ring, and dozens of gold coins.
In addition, Zhang Mu, Leng Yun, Sun Bing, and Fatty gained an average of 18% experience points!
"How is Qin Min!"
Zhang Mu didn't look at the loot and immediately ran over to check on Qin Min's condition.
Qin Min fell in a pool of blood. Most of her abdomen was cut open and penetrated from front to back. At a terrifying angle, internal organs flowed out from inside, and some intestines and organs were severed. She did not completely die, her mouth was slightly open, and the pupils of her cloudy eyes were completely dilated.
Leng Yun shouted at a loss: "We obviously killed the monster! Why, why didn't she upgrade!"
Qin Min's health dropped to zero. Although his body was not completely dead, he was judged dead by the system, so there was no way to save him.
Zhang Mu glanced at Leng Yun and shook his head silently.
Leng Yun's eyes were moist, and she carefully held Qin Min's head in her arms.
"Xiao Min, don't be afraid, we are all here."
Qin Min's lips trembled a few times, "Sister Leng Yun, I... I'm so cold!"
Leng Yun could no longer suppress her sadness, and tears fell down her cheeks like broken pearls. Fatty and Sun Bing, covered in blood, came over with support. When they saw Qin Min's miserable condition, they were all stunned.
Zhang Mu bent down and sighed: "I'm sorry."
"No, Captain Mu..." A stream of blood gushed out from the corner of Qin Min's mouth, and she said with difficulty: "You are a... good person! You are very strong... and will definitely become a top figure. I really want to... I really want to break out of the world with you. Unfortunately, I have to go."
Qin Min continued: "Sister Leng Yun, don't be sad, I was very afraid of death... But now, suddenly I am not afraid anymore... Because I can get to know everyone before I die, and I... am very satisfied. Thank you, Captain Mu, you must be good... Live!"
She doesn't have much time.
"Stop talking." Zhang Mu held the cold hand and asked in as gentle a voice as possible: "What is your wish?"
"Wish? If... if the captain could meet my sister and parents... I hope, I hope you can take care of them." Qin Min suddenly began to sob in a low voice, "I really miss them, so much, so much, so much... "
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and eventually disappeared completely.
Zhang Mu let go of his hand, closed his eyes for her, and sighed, "Please don't worry."
Leng Yun hugged the body tightly, and the strong woman cried like a tearful person. Sun Bing's eyes were red and his fists were clenched. They had been fighting side by side for many days, and they always had feelings. Even the cynical and carefree fat man looked sad and sad at this moment.
"Damn it! Damn it! This damn bug!"
The fat man cursed several times, and regardless of the serious injury, he picked up the ax and ran to the corpse of the dead mantis, and frantically chopped the mantis' head into pieces.
Zhang Mu acted very calmly, not cold-blooded, but it was already commonplace for his companions to die next to him. His calm eyes swept over Leng Yun, Fatty, and Sun Bing, but he said nothing.
This is not a fairy tale.
The death of companions in battle is inevitable.
This is the first time the three of them have faced the death of their companions, and they may face it again in the future.
The world is cruel, and grief will make people transform, grow, and become stronger.
