Chapter 68 A Blood Sucking Mantis
1534 Words
The three gathered gradually and formed a triangle while standing, guarding against three directions respectively.
The sounds of trees being broken around were still approaching them gradually.
They could feel that a huge creature was walking to them slowly.
"Don't move. Wait and see," Mu Yunfei said. In a normal condition, he would take the two to run away quickly without hesitation, but it was different now. Their purpose was to kill as many demon beasts of high ranks as possible, so they couldn't dodge this unknown demon beast.
Obviously, this creature is the reason for the scarcity of demon beasts around here.
The sounds became clearer, and the three gradually confirmed the direction. They walked backward and kept a distance from each other.
Next second, a huge creature showed up not far away in front of them. It had a length of ten meters, and its head was even above the ancient trees which were thousands of years old. It was covered in a black shell, and its two front claws were like sickles, looking sharp. It looked like a huge mantis.
"It's a blood sucking mantis!" Nana shouted in a trembling voice.
"A blood sucking mantis?"
"Right. The blood sucking mantis is a rare kind of demon beast, and I have just seen them in some ancient books. Look, its eyes are red. They are bloodthirsty innately and will have violent fighting capacity after seeing fresh blood. Judging from the shape of this blood sucking mantis, it at least has reached the peak of Blue Rank. Most importantly, even I don't know why the words 'blood sucking' are in its name. Almost nobody has seen them suck blood."
Perhaps a person at the peak of Blue Rank was just a math genius who didn't know that he had Bloodline Power or a lifter with much strength, but a demon beast at the peak of Blue Rank could even defeat a person with Golden Bloodline.
Thinking of the king of thunder beasts of Blue Rank, Mu Yunfei couldn't help but tremble. This demon beast in front would be much more powerful than that king.
The three mustered up the Bloodline Power in their bodies and waited for a chance to take actions. It was impossible for them to flee. In order to win the test, they couldn't avoid this fight.
The Bloodline Sword and sacred shield of brightness showed up next to Mu Yunfei and Bei Linfeng, shining with unique light, in concert with the ice blue light on Nana's silver dragon necklace. Light burst out of the three ritual articles at the same time. Facing such a formidable enemy, they didn't dare to reserve their strength.
At the same time, the blood sucking mantis didn't care about everything in front obviously. In its eyes, the three had become the food beside its mouth. It just roared in a low voice and then rushed to them. The vertical pupils in its red eyes made people tremble.
The blood sucking mantis opened the two sharp edges and tried to cut the three, with strong stormy waves sweeping them.
This was the long-distance attacking way the blood sucking mantis was best at. Depending on this move, it could be invincible in this area.
The powerful sharp blades of stormy waves cut the air. In an instant, it seemed that the whole world turned to halves under the wind blades and collapsed to both sides.
Mu Yunfei chopped with the Bloodline Sword in his hand twice immediately, starting Thundery Chop and Ice Chop at the same time, resisting the two wind blades. Bei Linfeng instantly released the sacred shield of brightness and protected the three. With golden light bursting out, it resisted the strong killing intent erupting from the blood sucking mantis.
There were sounds of collision. Bluish golden light and purplish golden light shone in turn and counteracted the energy of the wind blades. In the end, they disappeared in the air.
The blood sucking mantis looked surprised obviously and its red eyes became brighter, as if there were full of blood. It stared at Mu Yunfei and his companions and seemed to think that it was inconceivable as three humans could resist its attack.
At this time, the three launched attacks.
Ice and Snow Zone erupted from Nana in an instant with potent coldness, trying to cover the blood sucking mantis.
The creatures living in the forest were bad at resisting coldness, and Ice and Snow Zone was extremely cold. At this moment, it showed a magical effect and made the blood sucking mantis which was going to rush to the three stop and lose its power to move.
Bei Linfeng's Giddiness Aureole came to the blood sucking mantis' head at this time as well. With strong light flashing, it made the steady huge demon beast feel dizzy slightly and shake in the original place.
As they started two controlling abilities, the blood sucking mantis was under their control in an instant.
How would Mu Yunfei miss such a chance? He started the extreme speed and grabbed the Bloodline Sword with both hands, aiming at the mantis' head. This attack looked ordinary, but it contained Mu Yunfei's new understanding of the Bloodline Sword. Thundery Chop and Ice Chop united and the two elements complemented each other, contained in this attack at the same time. It chopped with great momentum as if crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
The blood sucking mantis roared in a low voice. Obviously, it was extremely angry. Its blood red eyes were full of reluctancy and it glared at Mu Yunfei who fell from the sky.
Next second, the black blood sucking mantis like ink miraculously turned red all of a sudden, and its huge body shrank in a flash. With red light bursting out, horrible killing intent erupted from its body. It abruptly broke Bei Linfeng's Giddiness Aureole and shot to Mu Yunfei at lightning speed.
"Yunfei, be careful!" Nana shouted in the distance, and it was too late for her to help him. Even Bei Linfeng's brightness defense zone couldn't reach there at this moment. Mu Yunfei had to depend on himself.
Because of the extreme speed, in Mu Yunfei's eyes, the blood sucking mantis didn't move quickly, so it gave him some time to react.
He found in surprise that the blood sucking mantis changed not only its color and shape simply, but its rough and heavy hard shell became like crystal with faint red light.
Moreover, Mu Yunfei could indistinctly feel that his Bloodline Power seemed to be isolated from his body by the red light.
This was...
Right, this was the blood sucking mantis' real ability, which really scared other demon beasts. Once it was "sucking blood", it would isolate all the bloodline breath or energy around and swallow them to feed itself and make it crazier.
This was undoubtedly a powerful ability which could damage enemies without harming itself.
At this time, the blood sucking mantis raised the two edges again and didn't reach out to the air but rushed to Mu Yunfei with great momentum. With its physical strength, it was confident to smash this person in front to meat puree.
Looking at the demon beast which was like Azrael, Mu Yunfei could do nothing but defend. With his current status, he still needed time to prepare Void Breaker. If he didn't calculate the time accurately, he might have to await his doom on the spot.
He released Resistance Halo and golden ice crystal at the same time. Since the ability of the golden ice crystal blended into the Bloodline Sword, he could start it much more quickly than before. It covered him all over almost in an instant, and the hard ice crystal shone with faint golden light, sparkling in the air like an ice warrior.
The Bloodline Sword circled around Mu Yunfei and formed a barrier of sword spirit at the moment, with explosive sounds of electric currents indistinctly in the air.
It was the most powerful defense Mu Yunfei could do for now, under the condition that he didn't use Dream Power, of course. With Dream Power, he would surely choose without hesitation to gain the ability to kill this demon beast.
The two scarlet edges with dazzling red light showed up in front of him. Feeling the horrible breath, Mu Yunfei tried his best to urge the Bloodline Power in his body to resist it.
He could feel that the great power was assaulting his Resistance Halo. Although it couldn't hurt him until his Bloodline Power was used up, under the effect of the collision and the blood sucking ability, the Bloodline Power in his body was drained within several seconds.
Resistance Halo was smashed with cracks, and the sword spirit scattered at that moment. His last defense was only the golden ice crystal on the surface of his body.
Mu Yunfei had a strong sense of crisis. Without Bloodline Power's support, the golden ice crystal could be destroyed easily, like a piece of paper under the blood sucking mantis' two edges.
At this time, Dalla's voice appeared in his brain.
"Bloke, step aside. Leave it to me."
