The wings behind this mantis seemed to be damaged, with scorch marks on the broken areas. Even though it kept fluttering and making gusts of wind, it was unable to fly again.
Its feet were caught in the messy knots, and it seemed that it was led into a trap and struggled out.
A mess can be seen nearby, all left over from previous battles.
When Mo Qing and the others arrived, the battle seemed to be coming to an end.
The winner is about to be decided.
"I can't hold it anymore, boss. I've used all my attack methods. It's impossible to hunt it down, let alone capture it alive!"
A young man gathered around Mantis said.
His body was splattered with mud, and his face was streaked with black and white. He might have been a handsome young man at first, but now he is no longer in good shape.
"Are we going to give up like this? We've already made it this far!"
One of the leading men couldn't help but sigh, thought for a moment, and looked in the direction behind him where the person was hiding: "Jin Buhuan! Is your superpower still healed?"
"……not yet."
A voice that was not breathy came. The guy named Jin Buhuai was a young man who looked young, wearing glasses, somewhat bookish, and elegant.
"Then there's nothing we can do. I'll attack again. If it doesn't work, I'll have to ask people from other guilds to come over." The leader of the man said.
"What?"
"Brother! We have managed to persevere until now. Even if we survive, we still have to survive this insect! How can there be any reason to let others come and pick it up?"
"That's right! Brother! I don't agree!"
Those who were hiding in the safe area came forward one after another and expressed their thoughts.
"You guys..."
The man in the lead, Qi Xiuyuan, the president of the newly established [Heroes] Guild, shook his head helplessly.
"Now is not the time to fight for these things. A level three creature has appeared. We must try our best to eliminate it and delay the arrival of the peak period. Otherwise, we are likely to lose!"
"Ah? President, what are you talking about?" A young man asked in confusion.
"You will gradually understand that sometimes, personal interests are insignificant and you have to learn to give up." Qi Xiuyuan said.
However, when he said this, something seemed to come to his mind.
His voice wasn't quite right.
It seemed that he didn't mean to say it to the people next to him, but to himself.
"cut!"
After saying that, with a loud shout, Qi Xiuyuan swung a heavy sword and rushed towards the mantis.
When he got close to a certain distance, Qi Xiuyuan stopped suddenly, and with the help of that momentum, he swung his sword and slashed down with all his strength!
Bang!
Cut through the air with one sword.
The heavy sword hit the ground and made a hole.
"A person with a power awakening can control his own power very well to a certain extent. With a heavy sword, he can swing it with great force and strength. He is very powerful."
Xiao Jin commented.
"Ahem, it turns out it's not that I didn't hit it." Xiong Lu complained habitually.
"If nothing else goes wrong, this mantis is a level three creature. With such a size, it doesn't look like a wild boar. How can it be hit casually?"
"If the wild boar we just killed was a mutated creature that has just entered the third level, then this mantis is definitely a mid- to late-stage creature, and may even evolve into a fourth-level creature in the future!"
"Ordinary awakened people have almost no chance of winning against it, and..."
Bang bang bang!
While Xiao Jin was making his own assessment and explaining to the people around him, Qi Xiuyuan had already swung his heavy sword and fought with Mantis.
Although his sword is heavy, the mantis in front of him is also a third-level creature. It has evolved from a small and thin insect of seven to eight centimeters, or more than ten centimeters, to a person as tall as a person. What level of evolution is this?
The two front legs, like two sharp sickles, were swung at the same time, creating a swishing phantom.
Qi Xiuyuan was directly enveloped in this phantom.
If you're not careful, you may lose your head.
Of course, so is the fate of the mantis.
This is a battle for the head.
After fighting for a while, Qi Xiuyuan gave him a hard blow, but he couldn't hold on anymore and pulled away.
The mantis was trying to kill him, but its feet were restrained and it almost fell to the ground.
It was shaking quite a bit this time.
One of its front legs, a dark green and black sickle, pierced the ground a foot deep.
After a few struggles, the soil was turned over, and it struggled to stand up, regaining its standing position, facing Qi Xiuyuan.
"Send someone over,"
Qi Xiuyuan looked at Mantis' triangular head as big as a football, and when he saw the intelligent compound eyes, he shook his head helplessly.
"We have just been established. We still have too few people and insufficient capabilities. We will suffer big losses if we force ourselves to do so. You don't want to be wiped out on the first day, right?"
"..."
As soon as they heard the word Tuan Mie, the people around them were quite speechless.
However, there is no way.
This mantis is too tough. On the first day the Heroes Guild was established, there were not many people. The types of superpowers were also very single, and their abilities were not very strong. There were no powerful superpowers to join for the time being.
So, now we are in a rather embarrassing situation.
Powerless.
Weakhearted.
Unwilling to do so.
have no choice.
"Do you need help?"
Xiao Jin walked out of the woods and approached slowly, and several people behind him appeared one by one.
"Huh? So soon..."
Qi Xiuyuan was a little surprised, wondering if there was a spy in the team, why reinforcements came as soon as he retreated.
"If necessary, we can try to see if we can deal with it." Xiao Jin pointed to the mantis in the trap.
At the same time, the mantis looked over and discovered a new enemy. A dangerous light flashed in its eyes, and its front legs swayed slightly, ready to pounce at any time.
"If it hadn't been for its wings being broken and stuck on the ground unable to move, the danger would have exceeded level three," Zhong Xiu said.
"Hey, where are you hanging out?"
Behind Qi Xiuyuan, a row of strong young men stood up. One of them raised his neck and asked menacingly.
"We come from a small place near Maple Leaf City. Our brothers and sisters all have some special abilities and want to make a living." Xiao Jin replied.
"Eating for a living? This mantis is a third-level creature. We can't do it, but you can?"
When the other party saw Xiao Jin's small body, he couldn't help but feel contempt.
These days, anyone really dares to jump out, awaken a little power, and think that they are a dishonest person.
"I don't dare to say whether it's ok or not. Why don't you try the head office?" Xiao Jin said with a smile.
"I'll go first."
Don’t wait for the other party to tell you whether it’s okay or not. If it’s okay anyway, they themselves can’t do it, so why don’t they let others do it?
In other places, you can directly grab monsters.
Xiao Jin is accustomed to being a good person, smiling when he sees people, and trying to solve problems in a peaceful way.
If it doesn't work, just use bigger tricks.
Nuclear level.
Tang Yu was the first to stand up, summoned his bow and arrow, aimed it at the mantis' head, and fired three arrows in a row.
Bang bang bang!
All three arrows were crooked.
"Wow! The first arrow warns, the second arrow shocks, the third arrow blocks..."
Anyway, it didn’t work.
Some people behind Qi Xiuyuan already laughed.
"You thought I was awesome!"
"That's it……"
"..."
Tang Yu took two steps back expressionlessly and stood beside Xiong Lu.
If he does not start the secondary evolution in time and strengthen his abilities, he will not be able to keep up with the evolution of these wild animals.
The bow and arrow are powerless!
"I won't try."
Xiong Lu waved his hand and said that he could only summon second-level creatures, and there was still nothing he could do about third-level creatures. If he tried to summon them by force, he would easily encounter backlash and make a fool of himself in public.
"Can't fight."
Zhong Xiu shook his head.
It was also a competition of reaction, speed, and strength. She asked herself if she was no match for this mantis.
"..."
Ming Siyu also shook his head.
Even the flying sword cannot cut it.
unless……
Fighting for his injuries, he used his last resort to ask about immortality with this mantis.
Otherwise, you can't beat it at all.
Then, several people looked at Mo Qing at the same time.
He is like a ruler.
If he can fight, then as his senior sister, Miss Li can definitely fight.
As for players like Xiao Jin who can't beat anyone without cheating and cheating to complete the map in seconds, everyone knows it well and doesn't need to ask.
"let me try."
Mo Qing nodded.
His hands made a few swish seals, and a slight movement was heard, and everyone felt a little tremor.
The ground seemed to shake.
Just where the mantis's feet stood, the ground began to petrify, and then spread bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, half of the mantis's body had been petrified, and its body was covered with a stone shell.
Click, click, click!
The mantis couldn't just be obedient and let this change happen. It struggled violently, twisting its body constantly, and a pair of broken wings behind it flapped rapidly, so fast that it was almost invisible.
but,
Nothing has changed.
It seemed that the ending was already written the moment Mo Qing took action.
No matter how hard this third-level creature struggled, it was all in vain.
It was thus sealed under the stone shell.
It wasn't until the third-level mantis's triangular head was covered with stone shells and completed petrification that Qi Xiuyuan and the guild members behind him collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
A big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
"Awesome! This brother's superpower is a bit like the gaze petrification technique in Western legends!"
A young man next to Qi Xiuyuan said.
"It's really awesome."
Qi Xiuyuan sighed and thought to himself, are warriors a little powerless in front of the mage?
"Brother, can you please discuss that this mantis will be given to us? You can mention the conditions. Today is the first day of the establishment of our [Heroes] Guild. We are short of manpower and lost the first battle. It is really embarrassing. us……"
"It's negotiable. You agree on a price and then discount it." Mo Qingxin said straightforwardly.
The main thing is to have a good talk.
Ability.
"Well……"
Qi Xiuyuan hesitated for a while, thinking that this person was too upright, how could anyone ask for money directly?
Of course, the most important thing is——
He has no money!
The Heroes Guild has just been established, and money is needed everywhere to maintain the operation of the guild.
Qi Xiuyuan is currently stretched thin, and it is even more difficult to develop and grow.
