The protagonist used his peripheral vision to pay close attention to the direction where there was unusual movement just now. He didn't dare to turn his head because he didn't know how good his enemy's eyesight was, whether turning his head would be seen, and whether it would alert the enemy.
However, since he has decided to eliminate this stalking voyeur once and for all, the protagonist does not want to fail due to inattention to some details.
This enemy seems to be very cautious. Every time it moves a short distance, it will lurk for a moment until it is confirmed that the protagonist has no abnormal movements before starting the next move. It seems as if he is afraid that the slightest movement will scare the protagonist away.
To be honest, if the protagonist's nerves hadn't been extremely tense, he wouldn't have noticed the small sway of the snakeberry leaves at all.
But now the spot where the leaves were shaking was approaching him step by step, and he was sure that this was not a coincidence.
The enemy is patient, and the protagonist is even more patient. He had slowly eaten the ninth snakeberry fruit. There was still room in his stomach, but the protagonist did not continue to eat. Now, his stomach was half hungry and half full, which not only replenished his physical strength, but also prevented him from being unable to move quickly because his stomach was too full.
The criss-crossing grass stems of this creeping snakeberry bush have become the enemy's biggest inconvenience. Although the soft grass stems cannot prevent its movement, no matter how careful you are, you will inevitably touch one or two of the stems and leaves, causing grass damage. The leaves sway slightly.
Slowly, the enemy has lurked less than one decimeter away from the protagonist.
The protagonist slowly placed the tenth fruit in front of his jaw, gently pierced the tough skin of the fruit, and then began to suck the full juice and pulp inside.
It seems that this is just a lone ant, intoxicated with food, and has lost its due vigilance.
At this moment, in the corner of the protagonist's vision, he saw blades of grass suddenly exploding in the direction of vigilance, and a black shadow rushed towards him with lightning speed.
quick! Too fast! It's so fast!
The protagonist can't see clearly what this black shadow is, but it is larger than himself, roughly the same size as Xiao Qing II when he opens his wings.
At the enemy's speed, no ant can escape this inevitable attack. But the protagonist is different. He has already been prepared, and he noticed as soon as the other party made any movement.
The protagonist was preparing to counterattack before, but the opponent was too fast and he had no time to counterattack. He could only jump to the side first, jump off the snakeberry fruit, and avoid the opponent's inevitable blow.
After jumping onto a taller blade of grass, the protagonist immediately turned his head and stared in the direction of the black shadow.
The black shadow had re-entered under the snakeberry leaves. A small cluster of leaves shook violently, like boiling water, and then everything quickly returned to calm.
The enemy's attack just now was so fast that the protagonist didn't even see its appearance clearly. After one blow, the enemy disappeared again into the grass and lost its trace. It was like a lurking assassin. Whenever it appeared, it was bound to be accompanied by murderous intent.
The abnormal shaking of the grass blades has disappeared, but the protagonist does not dare to act rashly. He didn't know if the enemy would give up immediately after missing a hit, or if he would continue to lurk in the shadows, ready to strike at any time.
But he didn't dare to bet. Before, he felt that with his strength, he was not afraid of fighting any fierce insect.
But now, the enemy's speed and agility taught him a lesson about using speed to defeat slowness.
If he hadn't been on guard with all his concentration, if the enemy hadn't touched the blades of grass and exposed his position in advance, the protagonist wouldn't have been confident that he would be able to dodge the attack that he couldn't even track with his eyes.
Ants don't have this speed. The only thing that can compare to it is probably the moment when the mantis' sword strikes.
However, the mantis is huge, so this enemy is definitely not a mantis. So what will it be?
The protagonist stares closely at the patch of grass where the enemy disappeared. He does not dare to go down to the ground. Now that he has a wide view from a high place, it is possible to avoid the enemy's attacks at any time. Once you get down to the ground and have a narrow field of vision, you will be unable to react in time.
There was no movement at the place where the enemy disappeared, not even any abnormal shaking of the grass blades. Did the enemy not move? Or it has been transferred quietly.
The sun is very warm, but the protagonist is full of chills. The surrounding scenery is bright, but full of murderous intent!
A breeze blew by, and the grass blades began to ripple. At this moment, the grass blades on the right trembled as if flowing against the current.
The protagonist immediately turned his head to that side, only to see a big blue mosquito flying up... It wasn't it!
At this moment, the protagonist felt a chill pass through his heart. Just as he turned his head back, a black shadow had already rushed in front of him.
The moment the protagonist was attracted by the big mosquito, a flaw was revealed in less than half a second. At that moment, the cunning enemy took action, catching the protagonist off guard.
At this time, it was too late to dodge. The protagonist moved his position to avoid being directly knocked down by the enemy's fangs.
But then the protagonist felt himself being hit by a hairy leg, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The protagonist immediately got up, and the enemy had disappeared again. It seemed that after missing a single blow, this enemy never stopped at all, he was decisive and vicious.
On the ground, the protagonist's head is covered with grass and there is darkness around him. There are countless grass stems surrounding him. These soft grass stems cannot block the enemy's assault, but only interfere with the protagonist's sight.
The protagonist thought about it for a moment. Just now, he saw only the enemy's hairy legs, and there were eight of them.
With eight legs, it’s not an insect! Scorpion? Scorpions don't have these hairy legs. spider? Well, it looks a lot like a spider.
Speaking of spiders, why do spiders hunt by sneak attack? Shouldn't you find a dark corner to weave a web and wait for the prey to fall into the trap?
The protagonist still wanted to complain at this time, but in fact he was already very nervous and could only use this to relieve himself.
The inexplicable spider is very fast and good at ambush. The protagonist's brain is running stiff now, and he can't remember what species this is.
However, the current environment is unfavorable, and the protagonist feels that Thirty-Six Strategies is the best strategy.
There was no sun above his head and he couldn't recognize the direction. The protagonist simply turned around and started running wildly in the opposite direction from where the enemy disappeared in his impression.
Although the protagonist is small in size, he is powerful. Once he runs away, all the grass stems and leaves in front of him will be crushed into powder. These obstacles are completely unable to prevent the protagonist from running away with all his strength.
At this moment, the dense snakeberry bushes behind him seemed to be boiling, and a rolling wave chased straight towards the protagonist.
After discovering that the protagonist was escaping at an alarming speed, the hunter lurking in the shadows no longer cared about hiding his body and began to pursue him at full speed.
