Chapter 167 Devil Mantis
In this dense forest between the two poles and the Elemental Empire, countless monsters thrive here. Except for the safe passage from the two poles to the Elemental Empire, few people come in deep in the forest. Although many precious plants and elixirs grew here, the crisis gradually blocked the people coming from the outside of the forest.
At this time, in this dense forest, there were open spaces, and young people in extremely embarrassed faces stood back to back, looking around with their eyes alert.
At this time, dozens of adult-sized monsters around the people had already surrounded the crowd. These monsters looked like upright mantis, with two sharp front limbs like sickles, more than one foot, and dozens of eyes staring at the prey that was already surrounding the middle.
These are the overlord demon mantis in this forest. Although they are only third-level monsters, even ordinary fourth-level monsters dare not provoke these guys at will, because demon mantis never act alone, usually hundreds of them. Like the dozens of demon mantis here now, they are already a very small group, but it is obvious that the five people in front of them are still difficult to deal with these demon mantis.
The team is three women and two men. They don’t look old, only about twenty years old. When they walk here, they are obviously exhausted. They are still surrounded by these demon mantis. The aura of despair echoes in the hearts of several people for a while.
A girl who looked the youngest, her long hair was a little messy, her face turned pale, her eyes were filled with fear, and she was just holding a blue magic wand in her hand. At this time, she trembled and said anxiously: "Brother, what should I do? Why don't these monsters attack? We will all die here."
When he was dead, the girl was already crying. Obviously, the fear of death was challenging the girl's heartstrings. A boy next to him who looked a little similar to the girl frowned when he heard the girl's words, and his eyes stared at the demon mantis in front of him, "No, we will definitely escape. Don't worry, I will protect you. By the way, Brother Tro, didn't you say that this place is safe? Why did so many demon mantis appear?"
"Hmph, how did I know? I remember that there were indeed no monsters in this place when I came last time. And you see, these demon mantis are obviously not a group. There are so few people who may have been separated from the group and came here nearby. I didn't ask you to come with me. Now when I encounter monsters, I blame me for this." A tall man next to me holding the two-meter-long blue sword in his hands, his tone was a little angry.
It seemed as if I was a little angry when I heard the tall young man. At this time, the man who had just spoken quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother Tro, I don't mean to blame you. I just asked you to forgive me if I was wrong."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense anymore. Our situation is very bad now. Have you ever thought of a solution? Now is not the time to have a difference." The person who spoke was a tall beauty wearing a blue armor. At this time, the beauty was cold-faced and swept her eyes vigilantly at the demon mantis around her.
After a closer look, the blue armor that penetrated the tall beauty was quite exquisite, and it firmly protected some key parts inside, and also showed the beautiful figure. The cold face on the beauty's face at this time and the blue hair that was drooping straight up at the waist like a waterfall made the woman look like a frost war god.
Another girl frowned when she heard everyone's words. A fiery red magic wand on her hand was surrounded by a rich fire elemental aura. The fiery red short hair and a slightly steady face made the woman look charming.
These five people are students of Liuji College, one of the four major academies of the Element Empire. The Level 6 College is the advanced college closest to the two polarities among the four major academies of the Element Empire. Many students in the academy choose to combine with their classmates to venture into this vast primeval forest, which can play a role in training themselves. In addition, the countless rare objects in this primeval forest have also become one of the reasons why students venture into it, but most students choose to be outside the forest and rarely enter the inside of the forest.
Among these five people, the blue armored woman is named Lan Xue. She was born in a big family in the Elemental Empire. She now has the strength of an intermediate swordsman. She is now the second-grade academy of Liuji Academy. She is a genius girl. She thinks she is good at strength and enters the depths of this forest with others. However, it is obvious that the strength of her swordsman is not enough to break out from the noses of these demon mantis.
Another girl with short red hair is also a second-grade student. Her strength is definitely no less than Lan Xue. She has reached the magician's water quality at a young age. Her powerful fire element power makes people dare not underestimate it, but this time she is obviously in trouble.
There is also a pair of brothers and sisters, Tobi, who is also very strong. A swordsman holds a sharp sword in both hands and looks cautious in the face of the surrounding magic mantis. Although Tobi is a fourth-grade student, he is now only a junior sword master, which is even worse than Lan Xue. As for his sister Toni, she is only a senior magician.
Obviously, these people are led by Tro, and Tro is also a fourth-grade student. Although their qualifications are not as great as Lan Xue, they have now reached the level of a senior swordsman. Among these people, Tro is undoubtedly the highest strength.
At this time, Tro was also anxious. Although he had been to this forest several times, he had never met a demon mantis. Now these demon mantis surrounded him and did not attack him, Tro couldn't understand what was going on.
The number of demon mantis surrounding Tro and the five men was about forty, and they surrounded Tro and the five men in the middle, making an ugly hissing sound in the air, which was particularly eye-catching in the quiet forest.
Tro and the other two did not know that at this time, a group of black shadows were approaching the encirclement in the distance. The black shadows were moving like the wind in the forest. Although they could not see the black shadows clearly, it could be judged from the constant "hissing" sound that these were all demon mantis.
"Brother, how long do we have to stay here? Why are these demon mantis not moving?" Toni here is the youngest. Seeing the demon mantis eyeing around her, her heart felt a little furious, her eyes full of fear, and she asked in a trembling voice again.
"Brother Tro, see what we should do?" Toby had no choice but to turn his eyes to Tro next to him. Tro was originally staring at the demon mantis around him nervously. When Toby asked, he began to ponder.
Suddenly, Lan Xue on the other side seemed to think of something fearful, her face suddenly changed, and then she said anxiously: "No, we must break through immediately." However, because of her anxiety, she trembled when she said this.
The other four were startled by Lan Xue's sudden speech, and they all turned to look at Lan Xue. They saw that Lan Xue's face was pale and her eyes showed a look of fear. There was no such thing as the genius girl's previous calmness.
Seeing Lan Xue's face, Tro's heart also tightened, and his face said gloomy and anxiously: "Lan Xue, what do you mean? Did you find something?"
"Yes, these demon mantis are just surrounding us without attacking us. They must be waiting for other demon mantis to come over. The demon mantis is a very cunning monster in this forest. They have always been in groups, generally not less than hundreds. Now there are only more than forty heads here, and they are surrounded but not hunting. Obviously, they have plans. I can't think of any other reason except waiting for other demon mantis." Lan Xue quickly expressed her opinion. Lan Xue had seen the habits of the demon mantis in the book, and after careful analysis, she really guessed it.
Hearing Lan Xue say this, the other four people agree without thinking. After all, it is really strange now. Tro turned his head and glanced at the surrounding mantis, then showed a firm look on his face, a harsh light flashed in his eyes, and then ordered: "This is not a solution now. Be prepared to break through immediately. I will open the way in front, Yan Yan and Toni followed me, Toby and Lan Xue were behind, don't fall behind, we only have one chance to break through, and we cannot lose."
Tro said as he took out a red glass bottle from his pocket, containing red liquid, poured it into his mouth in one mouthful, and the breath on his body almost instantly surged.
"Tro, you..." Seeing that Tro had thrown the empty glass bottle aside, the four people's faces changed, and they were a little shocked. Yan Yan was interrupted by Tro when she reached out to speak, "I said we only have one chance to break through." As she said that, her eyes were still staring at the demon mantis around her, and her eyes gradually emitted a bloodthirsty light.
After being interrupted by Tro's words, Yan Yan had to shake her head helplessly, with a dark look in her eyes. Then she held the magic wand with her right hand tightly. A crimson magic crystal had been tightly held by Yan Yan in the palm of her hand, and the eyes of her eyes looking at the demon mantis became more and more firm.
Lan Xue also took out a white pill at some point and carefully put it in her mouth. Her eyes looked at the demon mantis and became colder.
Toby also took out two bandages, carefully biting the two sharp swords with his teeth, so as not to let the swords have a chance to fall. Obviously, his face was gone, maybe it was at this moment.
Even the youngest Toni seemed to be driven by the aura of the four people at this time, and her fearful eyes disappeared. She held the blue staff in her little hand and whispered magic spells in her mouth. Blue magic protection circles appeared outside the bodies of the five people, protecting everyone inside.
The team was basically adjusted in an instant, and Tro's roar: "Follow me to rush", and Tro's aura suddenly surged again, and then rushed out. A two-meter giant blue sword was dancing by Tro and drifted through a blue crescent moon in front. With a "swish", a demon mantis blocking Tro did not expect Tro to take action suddenly. Before he could react, he had been cut off by Tro's sword in half. He fell to the ground and hissed a few miserable screams and then slowly stopped moving.
Tro, regardless of the fallen magic mantis, continued to rush forward. The few people behind him were not slow at all, and kept their formation tightly and rushed forward with Tro.
