Chapter 122 Mantis fights the scorpion

The blood mantis seemed to disdain the scorpion’s sudden attack; it chopped out with its raptorial foreleg and struck the black scorpion’s head first, the strength behind the attack made the black scorpion retreat back a step, its two big pincers attack naturally failed to achieve result.

SS~

Blood mantis lightly shook its wings twice just like a peac.o.c.k spreading its tail, except that the blood mantis’s movement expressed provocation and showed disdain towards the black scorpion.

Qin Lang knew the blood mantis was being lenient. It might be because it had been a long time since the blood mantis had come across a presentable opponent that it didn’t feel anxious to kill the black scorpion but rather wanted to train itself through this black scorpion.

The black scorpion became furious upon being hit; it first retreated back two steps, but seeing the blood mantis motionless like before, it again approached the blood mantis. This time, the black scorpion was even more cautious, moving step by step and when there was only about two-three centimeters left between it and the blood mantis, it attacked! Its two big pincers stabbed separately towards blood mantis’s head and chest!

Fast and fierce!

The blood mantis still looked arrogant, it struck out its raptorial leg, and though it attacked late like before, it was much faster than the black scorpion and the attack approached the scorpion’s head. Just when it looked like the black scorpion was going to be hit, it suddenly lashed out its tail and was actually able to deflect the blood mantis’s attack. It then fiercely stabbed its tail towards the blood mantis’s head!

The scorpion had used its tail!

All this while, Qin Lang’s full concentration was on the battle and so, he was able to accurately grasp this ‘killing move’ of the black scorpion. He had previously heard of the ferocity of a scorpion’s tail, but this was the first time he was personally seeing it, so the impression was more profound and shocking.

The blood mantis was somewhat startled due to this move, it hurriedly used its other raptorial leg to block the black scorpion’s tail, and used its previously deflected raptorial leg to block off both pincers of the black scorpion.

Seeing the time-tested ‘trump card’ defeated, the black scorpion finally realized that this red mantis in front of it was not ordinary. As soon as it thought of that, it had the mind to retreat, but just as the black scorpion was about to retreat, the blood mantis swooped down, its two raptorial legs were like lightning as they clamped down on the black scorpion’s tail and head, then it put strength on them——

Rip! crack!

Accompany two clear sounds, in front of Qin Lang’s astonished gaze which was also filled with pity, the black scorpion’s body split into three chunks!

Mantis’s raptorial legs originally were very sharp, but the blood mantis was an abnormal insect, and with its recent consumption of many ‘insect feed’, its toxicity and strength had advanced a step, so cutting off a scorpion was nothing to talk of.

However, this black scorpion was also amazing; its tail, even after being cut off, was thras.h.i.+ng madly, as if it still wanted to deliver a fatal blow to its enemy, before its death!

But how terrifying was blood mantis, even though this black scorpion was amazing, it still became its food.

Although Qin Lang felt some pity for the black scorpion, it was the law of the jungle, and this was originally the world’s supreme law.

While the blood mantis was feeding on the scorpion’s corpse, Qin Lang’s mind continuously recalled the scorpion’s movement and attacking posture, trying to comprehend its profound mysteries.

After a while, Qin Lang put his hands on the ground, trying to crawl like the scorpion, but his movement was not smooth, this seemed to be because scorpions have more legs than humans. However, Qin Lang was not resigned, so he jumped on a slanted trunk of a big tree. Right then, he made a fascinating discovery.
