Legend of the Elven Investigator

A week later.

Insect Forest.

In the tall primeval forest, ferns grow wantonly on the wet ground. Under these seemingly inconspicuous plants, there may be a deep puddle hidden, or some hidden deadly existence.

The vines hang down from the sky in all directions, and the tiny barbs grow on the hard skin, threatening the eaters who try to eat it.

On this island, even the plants at the bottom of the food chain have evolved ways to protect themselves.

In the depths of the dense jungle, a spiny caterpillar squirmed slowly by relying on camouflage to blend in with the surrounding environment.It climbed up the drooping vine, trying to get off the ground, and rushed to the position of those fragile leaves to quench the hunger in its belly.

It is too hungry, but here, hunger may not take its life immediately, but exposing itself will definitely.

The spiny caterpillar crawled extremely slowly, counting 10 minutes passed, and the distance traveled was only five or six meters, which was still far from the tree crown far away from the ground.

Suddenly, it seemed to feel a tremor in the vines under it, which immediately shrank the cowardly caterpillar in fright.The sharp bristles stand up all over the body, and they secrete a venom that is not fatal, but it will make predators itchy.

The spiny caterpillar, which was on defense, was silent for a few minutes, but did not wait for the expected attack.Just as it breathed a sigh of relief and slightly soothed its nerves, the vines under it quickly coiled tightly, binding it tightly in an instant.

Before the bristle caterpillar could use its trick to protect itself, the vine carried the bristle caterpillar into a pocket that exuded a strong acid smell like a dish.

A big food flower covered in yellow and covered with dark yellow spots finally revealed its true face. It was hanging upside down in the bushes, using its vines to prey on those weak elves who lacked observation.

Falling into its pocket, even the hard hairs of the stinging caterpillar slowly dissolve in the sound of "sizzling".Its acid can dissolve even bones in a day, turning it into nourishment for its own growth.

Eating one spiny caterpillar is enough to keep a flower-eater dormant for a week.Therefore, the big food flower that was successfully hunted quickly rolled up some vines to hide itself.

It is not the top predator in this forest, there are more dangerous existences that can kill it easily.

However, the big food flower, who thought it was hidden very cleverly, did not see that in the top tree canopy, a hunched body, an insect-shaped elf with the same body color as the tree layer, blinked its compound eyes.The two huge sickle-like arm blades in front of it trembled slowly, and with just a slight swing, they chopped off some branches along the way silently.

"Crack!"

A broken branch fell with a distinct sound in the woods.

The moment it fell, the flying mantis hidden in the dark burst out like a sharp arrow, and the insect wings behind it trembled extremely quickly, turning into an afterimage and appearing behind Dashihua.

Falling into intense fear, Dashihua frantically waved her vines, and the vine whip trick struck indiscriminately, trying to stop the enemy who was planning to hunt her.

But its speed is not slow, the speed of Flying Mantis is even faster, even its eyes can't find any traces, a bright knife light shines like moonlight, Dashihua instantly stiffens and loses all movements.

A gust of wind blew by, and the tough vines of the Big Food Flower finally broke open from the middle. The smooth incision didn't even seep out tissue fluid, and it quickly fell to the ground under the pull of gravity.

Like a ghost, the flying mantis landed slowly, and cut off the most delicious piece of body organ from Dashihua with his own arm blade.This piece of tissue is the organ that the big food flower uses to release its sweet breath and attract innocent prey.

Its inconspicuous mouthparts squirmed, and within a few mouthfuls it devoured the most essential piece of flesh and blood of the big food flower.

As for the rest of the body, it dismissed it.

The death of elves, in this cruel jungle, seems so ordinary and random.Different from the elves who are gentle in the outside world, the elves here are fatal attacks as soon as they make a move, either killing the enemy, or fleeing immediately.

"Dong dong dong..."

The Flying Mantis' ears trembled slightly, and suddenly, it seemed to hear a strange noise coming from the jungle.As the top hunter of this forest of worms, it is not worried that its behavior will attract some powerful enemies, but this burst of noise is unusual.

This sound... is used by the flying mantis group to warn of danger!
Realizing this, the face of the Flying Mantis changed greatly, and immediately flapped its wings and left the ground, rushing towards the source of the sound.

It knows that once it makes such a sound, it must be its own clansmen calling for help, seeking the help of the nearest clansman.

The flying mantises within a radius of one kilometer all heard the warning sound and rushed towards this side one after another.

But at the source of the sound, the situation was somewhat different from what the flying mantises had imagined.

There was no injured flying mantis calling for help here, only a burly and ferocious Da Jia was constantly beating on the tree trunk.What didn't match its appearance was that there was always a malicious expression on its face.

It's like... a wicked smile that succeeded in a trick.

This elf, which keeps attracting flying mantises, is the leader of Dajia who, after being beaten up by Fatty Shinpei, shattered his self-esteem through various methods.

After a "friendly" exchange with Shinpei, the leader of Dajia offered to help him deal with the neighboring Heracross and the flying mantises.

As the existence of mutual enemies, the leader of Dajia is naturally familiar with the various habits of his old rival Flying Mantis.Its operation in this way is to attract large-scale flying mantises.

As for the purpose...

When the flying mantises finally passed through the barriers and came to this area, several elves finally burst out of the ambush.

A ghostly figure wrapped in golden flames, moving more nimbly than the flying mantis, shuttled between the vines, relying on dexterous body skills, constantly making difficult movements.

After tossing and turning, the Fierce Monkey came to the blind spot behind the Flying Mantis, and instantly spun around, turning into a giant wheel of surging flames.Carrying potential energy and blazing flames, the fiery monkey landed rapidly, hitting the back of the flying mantis heavily.

Almost in an instant, the Flying Mantis with level 48 fell under the attack of the Fierce Monkey. The domineering golden flames destroyed its will to resist without any accident.These flames are not only extremely hot, but also have extremely insidious penetration characteristics, like a will-o'-the-wisp burning in the body, which cannot be blocked by the insect-type flying mantis at all.

On the other side, a flying praying mantis witnessed its companion being knocked down. With its eyes tearing apart, it quickly swung its arm blade and attacked, wanting to avenge its companion.But with a crisp sound of "ding", a blue-black arm blade collided with its blade, and a majestic force struck. Before the flying mantis could stabilize its body, it was blown away by this force.

But even so, the Flying Mantis is not afraid. It is undoubtedly a stupid act for an enemy to dare to fight it hand-to-hand in the jungle.

However, after several encounters with the owner of the blade, it gradually realized that something was wrong.His opponent not only had sharper and harder arm blades as weapons, but also had astonishingly strong body strength.

The most incomprehensible to the Flying Mantis is that the fighting skills of the land shark-like elf that it is fighting with are also unbelievably exquisite.

Every slash and slash was blocked or dodged by the Fangtooth Shark, and the opponent's slash with a strong killing intent would leave knife marks on the armor of the Flying Mantis.

In just a few breaths, the Flying Mantis already had more than a dozen scars, and green blood was flowing out at this moment.

The one who competed with the Flying Mantis in hand-to-hand combat was naturally Fangtooth Land Shark. It was like a swordsman obsessed with martial arts, constantly forcing his opponent to show more and more subtle tricks.

When it realized that the Flying Mantis was at the end of its skills, its dragon blade instantly erupted with an incredible vibration force, powerfully split the Flying Mantis's block, and cut its arm blade into two pieces.

The flying mantis with its broken arm fell helplessly. It was still alive, but without its weapon, it was no different from a baby in swaddling in this perilous jungle.

In addition to the fire monkey and the sharp tooth land shark, in other directions, there are also joint operations of the metal monster, the moon eevee, and the nut dumbbell.These three elves of similar levels had a strong sense of tacit understanding with each other. The Moon Eevee and the Nut Dumbbell entangled the opponent, and then the metal monster made a decisive attack, successfully defeating a 46-level flying mantis.

And farther away, there are Leisi's electric monsters, big-tailed raccoons and other elves constantly fighting with flying mantises.The little elves of Yumi and Sharon are also assisting, absorbing a lot of combat experience.

That's right, it was Shinpei and his team members who attracted and fought the Flying Mantis.With the help of the leading party, they have successfully attracted a large number of high-level opponents, and a vigorous military training is underway.
