Chapter 342 Observing the Mantis 3

Sunlight dappled through the dense treetops, sprinkling on the moist land. Lin Zhi, Yan Jun and Zhang Ying carefully shuttled through the forest. Their goal was to observe a hunting drama that was about to be staged in nature - the mantis stalking the cicada.

Lin Zhi is a traveler from Earth. After arriving in this Zerg world full of strange creatures and complex social structures, he gradually adapted to life here and made many Zerg friends. Yan Jun and Zhang Ying are his loyal partners. The three of them often go on adventures together to explore the mysteries of the Zerg world.

This time, they heard that in an ancient forest deep in the forest, there lived an extremely rare giant mantis, which was huge in size and had superb hunting skills, and could easily capture prey several times larger than itself. In order to witness this wonder with their own eyes, the three decided to embark on a journey.

As they went deeper into the forest, the chirping of insects around them became louder and louder. Various colorful insects jumped on the branches, as if pointing them in the direction. Suddenly, there was a slight rustling sound in front of them, and the three of them immediately stopped and hid in the lush bushes.

Through the gap, they saw a huge mantis lying quietly on a thick branch, its sickle-like forelimbs flashing coldly in the sun. Its body was a strange green color, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment, as if it was part of nature.

At this moment, a cicada flew into the area, landed on a tree not far from the mantis, and began to sing loudly. The clear chirping sound was particularly harsh in the quiet forest and also attracted the mantis's attention.

The mantis slowly turned its body towards the cicada, its eyes seeming to see through everything. Its forelimbs slowly began to rise, approaching the cicada at an almost imperceptible speed. Lin Zhi, Yan Jun, and Zhang Ying held their breath and watched, afraid of missing any details.

At this moment, the cicada seemed to sense danger, and it flapped its wings violently, trying to escape from this place of death. However, it was too late. The mantis leaped forward at lightning speed, and its sickle-like forelimbs accurately clamped the cicada's body. The cicada's struggle became powerless in an instant, and it could only let the mantis slowly devour it.

The whole process took only a few seconds, but it was thrilling. Lin Zhi and the other two smiled at each other, their eyes full of shock and awe. They knew very well that in the Zerg world, every life was trying its best to survive, no matter if it was a powerful hunter or a weak prey.

After observing the hunt, the three continued on their way. On the way, they met two Zerg brothers, Wang Jun and Wang Kai. Wang Jun was tall and strong, while Wang Kai was smart and good at strategy. The two were good friends that Lin Zhi had met in the Zerg world. They often went on adventures together and faced various challenges together.

"Brother Linzhi, are you also here to watch the mantis stalk the cicada?" Wang Jun greeted them warmly.

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's really shocking. What about you? Have you made any new discoveries recently?"

Wang Kai smiled mysteriously: "We found a mysterious cave, which seems to hide unknown secrets. We are planning to go in and explore, do you want to come with us?"

Hearing this news, Lin Zhi and the other two immediately became interested. They knew that in the Zerg world, every unknown corner might hide amazing treasures or powerful enemies. So the six decided to travel together and explore this mysterious cave together.

On the way to the cave, they met four Zerg brothers and sisters - Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li. The four have different personalities, but all have impressive strength. Li? is extremely strong, Li Ming is amazingly fast, Li Hua is good at healing, and Li Li is proficient in poison. Their joining greatly increases the strength of the team.

As the team grows, their confidence becomes stronger. In their adventure in the Zerg world, they not only have to face the test of nature, but also fight against various powerful enemies. But no matter how difficult the road ahead is, they will work together to write their own legendary chapter.

When the six people came to the entrance of the cave, a cold breath hit them. They knew that the real challenge had just begun. But they were not afraid, because in this Zerg world full of unknowns and miracles, every adventure was an opportunity for growth.

The cave was pitch black, with only the torches in their hands illuminating a small area in front of them. They moved forward cautiously, always alert to the surroundings. As they went deeper, the temperature in the cave became lower and lower, and a faint musty smell filled the air.

Suddenly, there was a low roar from the front, and then a huge monster rushed out from the darkness and headed straight for them. The six people responded quickly, each using their own unique skills to engage in a fierce battle with the monster.

In this thrilling battle, they not only demonstrated excellent combat skills, but also demonstrated the tacit understanding and trust between the team. In the end, with the joint efforts of the six people, the monster was successfully defeated. They continued to go deeper into the cave, looking forward to uncovering more secrets about the Zerg world.

This expedition not only allowed them to gain valuable experience and friendship, but also made them deeply realize the difficulty and hardship of surviving in the Zerg world.

They have gradually adapted to the survival rules here. They have formed a deep friendship with their Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, as well as the four siblings Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li, and face this world full of unknowns and dangers together. Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan, as partners who joined later, have added some vitality and wisdom to this small team.

On this day, the sky was filled with a faint purple haze, foreshadowing the coming of night. Lin Zhi stood on a high ground, looking through the dense jungle, and fell on the hidden Mantis Cave in the distance. This cave is said to be an important stronghold of the Mantis Zerg, and it contains a mysterious treasure that can enhance the strength of Zerg warriors. However, this is also a place that countless explorers stay away from, because the Mantis Zerg is famous for its cunning and ferociousness.

"We must proceed with caution." Lin Zhi whispered to his companions, his eyes revealing determination and caution. Zhang Ying nodded in agreement, the lightsaber in her hand flickered slightly, ready to deal with any possible emergency at any time.

Wang Jun and Wang Kai looked at each other. The two brothers had a tacit understanding. They were ready to use their speed advantage to provide cover for the team. The four siblings Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li gathered in a circle and discussed tactics in a low voice. Their coordination was as smooth as flowing water, which made people sigh at the Zerg's natural fighting talent.

Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan were responsible for logistics and intelligence gathering. They carefully checked the equipment to ensure that every weapon and supply was in the best condition. At the same time, they also used their understanding of the Zerg world to analyze the possible traps and mechanisms in the Mantis Cave.

As night fell, the group quietly headed towards the Mantis Cave. On the way, they cleverly avoided several patrolling Mantis Zerg warriors, used the terrain and the night as cover, and gradually approached the target.

When they finally stood in front of the cave entrance, a depressing and heavy atmosphere hit them. Lin Zhi took a deep breath and signaled everyone to stay alert. He gently pushed aside the vines at the entrance, and the group carefully stepped into the cave.

The cave was dark, with only the occasional sound of dripping water and the faint chirping of insects in the distance breaking the silence. Relying on the light in their hands, they explored step by step. On the way, they encountered several traps, but with Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan's keen intuition and careful calculations, they successfully avoided danger.

After going deeper into the cave, they finally came to a spacious cave hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge praying mantis statue. The statue's eyes seemed to contain some mysterious power that made people dare not look directly at it. Under the statue was a shining treasure chest, which was the goal of their trip.

However, just as they were about to approach the treasure chest, a burst of hurried footsteps came from deep in the cave. Then, a group of mantis warriors wearing black armor appeared in front of them, with bloodthirsty cold light flashing in their eyes.

"Prepare for battle!" Lin Zhi shouted, and the lightsaber in his hand lit up instantly, illuminating the entire hall. A battle of life and death and glory began.

In the battle, Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying showed their strong strength as time travelers. The lightsabers and super powers intertwined to form a series of gorgeous lights and shadows. Wang Jun and Wang Kai took advantage of their speed to shuttle freely on the battlefield and constantly harassed the enemy. The four siblings Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li provided solid support for the team with their tacit cooperation and excellent fighting skills.

After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the enemy and successfully seized the treasure in the treasure chest. However, when they opened the treasure chest, they found that it was not the weapon or equipment they imagined, but a Zerg badge emitting a faint glow.

This badge seemed to contain some mysterious power, which surprised and intrigued Lin Zhi and others. They knew that it was just their eyes that showed both curiosity about the unknown and awe of this strange land. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying, as the first humans in the group to adapt to the life of the Zerg, were now leading everyone on a special exploration - observing the mantis skeleton to understand the structure and mystery of the Zerg creatures.

"Look, this is the skeleton of a mantis." Lin Zhi held a slender branch and gently poked the remains of a giant mantis in front of him. Although its skeleton was slender, it shone with a metallic luster in the sun and looked extremely tough. "Did you notice that its forelimbs evolved into a sharp sickle shape, which is its main weapon when hunting."

Wang Jun and Wang Kai, the Zerg brothers, were sitting next to Lin Zhi, listening with great interest. Since they came to this world, they have not only learned to coexist with various Zerg creatures, but have also gradually mastered their language and habits. Wang Jun asked curiously, "What about their weaknesses? If we encounter a group of wild mantises, how can we protect ourselves?"

Lin Zhi smiled slightly and turned her eyes to Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li. Since joining the team, these four siblings have integrated into the Zerg society at an astonishing speed. Their adaptability and learning ability have impressed everyone. "Although mantises are ferocious, they also have an obvious weakness - the abdomen. It is their softest part and the weakest link in defense."

Li nodded and added: "Besides, mantises are often fully focused when hunting, and this is the best time to attack them. However, we still have to try to avoid unnecessary conflicts. After all, peaceful coexistence is our long-term way to survive in the Zerg world."

As the discussion deepened, the sisters Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan also joined in. They joined the team later, and although they have not been here for long, they are already able to communicate proficiently in the Zerg language and their understanding of Zerg culture is also deepening. "I think that observing these skeletons can not only help us better understand the mantis, but also help us understand the biological structure and evolutionary logic of the entire Zerg world." Zhang Yuan said, her eyes sparkling with wisdom.

Everyone sat around the campfire, using the firelight to explore every detail of the mantis skeleton. Lin Zhi picked up a smooth stone and carefully scraped off some tiny fragments from the skeleton, ready to take them back for further research. "These fragments may tell us more about the secrets of mantis growth and aging." His words were full of a desire to explore the unknown.

As night fell, insects began to chirp in the forest, like a symphony of nature. After finishing their observation for the day, everyone packed up and prepared to return to their temporary camp. On the way back, Wang Jun suddenly stopped and pointed to a tree not far away and said, "Look, what is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a huge mantis lying quietly on a branch. Its body was almost integrated with the trunk. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find its existence. "This is a mature female mantis," Lin Zhi explained in a low voice, "They usually choose a location like this as a nest to lay eggs."

This encounter made everyone feel more deeply the wonder and mystery of the Zerg world. They realized that every exploration is a valuable learning opportunity, and every observation can bring them closer to the truth of this world.

After returning to the camp, everyone sat around the campfire and shared what they had seen and heard today. Lin Zhi took out the mantis skeleton fragments that he had collected earlier and began to draw their structural diagrams, while others recorded their own experiences. In this Zerg world full of unknowns and challenges, they are gradually unveiling its veil and writing their own adventure stories with their wisdom and courage.

As the night deepened, the bonfire gradually died down, but the fire of exploring the unknown burned in everyone's heart. They knew that tomorrow there would be more miracles waiting for them to discover, and more challenges waiting for them to overcome. In this vast Zerg forest, their journey has just begun... a beginning, and more secrets and challenges are waiting for them to explore and conquer.
