BXBX NOVEL Chapter 282 - 217: Asura Mantis! Alien Insect Clan!
To him, regardless of the type of creature being transmitted from the Heart of the Territory, they were all enemies at this point!
Just as the Yunxiao Sword was swung, the other party also noticed Zheng Cheng’s intentions.
They blocked with a swift raising of their arm, and upon contact, an ear-piercing sound of collision and friction echoed.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak…?”
Soon, the Alien Beast summoned by the heart of the territory let out a questioning cry, as if interrogating something.
With the fading of the light, the figure of the Alien Beast had fully come into Zheng Cheng’s view.
A mantis!
A dwarf mantis with a human body and head, that was only about half the height of a person.
Its head was triangular, skin black-green, and its pupils protruded, looking like a gigantic standing mantis.
Its two arms, slender and sharp, even had serrated edges, extremely sharp.
Zheng Cheng’s gaze flashed, and the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique was activated, promptly yielding some intel on this humanoid Mantis.

“A Shura Mantis at seven stars?”
Before Zheng Cheng had finished speaking, the opponent had already made his move.
The arms, or rather swords, swept forward horizontally, tracing an arc and fiercely slashed towards Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng instinctively blocked with his sword, only to hear a ‘crack’ sound, as a creepy friction noise reverberated from the Yunxiao Sword.
In the blink of an eye, he swiftly withdrew his sword to dodge, but it was already too late!
An obvious crack appeared on the blade of the Yunxiao Sword, very much like a spider web!
“Damn…my sword!”
This Yunxiao Sword was given by Zhao Yunxiao, it had been his trusty sidekick for several months and had done great service.
He didn’t expect it to be destroyed by this strange alien.
Was his golden-grade weapon just destroyed like that?
What on earth were the mantis’s hands made of?
Alien insect race?
He had never heard of this alien race before!
Mind reeling, Zheng Cheng immediately shouted, “Everyone, stay back! Don’t come near!”
An alien of LV29 and seven stars. The soldiers he summoned were no match for it.
“Jibber jabber…”
The humanoid mantis on the other side made noise again, this time in a different language, but Zheng Cheng still couldn’t understand!
He had only just started to learn Ancient Beast language, Elf language, and Demon language and had never heard this strange language.
Niu Jindao suddenly yelled from behind him, “My lord! It’s Alien Beast language! It’s a language only known by a few Alien Beast Heroes!”
“He’s asking if you’re really going to destroy their affiliated race’s Heart of Territory…”
“So what if I am?”
Zheng Cheng retorted, “We are enemies now. It’s either you die or I do!”
Niu Jindao did not translate, but the opponent seemed to have picked up on the hostility in Zheng Cheng’s tone.
Without so much as a second thought, they swung their sword at Zheng Cheng again!
“Fwish…!”
The blade pierced through the air and in an instant, was before Zheng Cheng’s face!
“Such speed…!”
Zheng Cheng’s pupils abruptly shrunk and he quickly retreated.
The half-mantis humanoid creature in front of him obviously represented a high-speed, high-offensive assassin-type Professionist, especially the long blades its arms transformed into, which were extremely sharp.
If he were to counterattack, he didn’t have a suitable weapon on hand, which was a foolish move.
Continuing to retreat, the Asura Mantis persistently attacked.
However, it failed to notice that Zheng Cheng had retreated to the center of the battlefield where he had just fought the Alien Beasts.
Here, the ground was littered with the bodies of Alien Beasts.
Quite a few Alien Beast bodies were still entangled with a lot of vines.
Flower Scepter!
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…!”
In an instant, at least a dozen robust vines shot out, seemingly like a dozen giant pythons, charging at the Asura Mantis!
A hint of surprise appeared in its pupils, likely not expecting anyone to be able to control plants while engaging in close combat.
In a split-second, it hastily returned its blades to defend.
The two long blades practically transformed into a storm, severing all of the attacking vines!
A trace of mockery appeared on its elongated face, seemingly scoffing at Zheng Cheng’s overestimation of his abilities.
However, attacking with vines wasn’t Zheng Cheng’s goal, his real trump card was the technique that followed!
Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique!!!
The secret realm “Defending the Homeland” could seal all Professionists’ attack abilities, but couldn’t seal support abilities.
Without a doubt, Zheng Cheng’s Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique was a support ability!
What is support?
Enhance oneself, weaken the opponent, this is the support profession!
An odd fluctuation abruptly landed on the Asura Mantis, seemingly unnoticed by him.
The blades in his hands continued to whizz around, severing the attacking vines one by one.
A few seconds later, his face changed dramatically, he subconsciously bent his waist.
Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique, had taken effect!
Zheng Cheng chuckled, and then drew the Yunxiao Sword again.
Even though the Yunxiao Sword developed a crack, there’s no doubt that it was still usable.
Kick them when they’re down, take their lives!
Just as Zheng Cheng prepared to make a move, he saw the Asura Mantis violently shake.
The skin on its back suddenly split open, and a pair of wings as thin as a cicada’s grew out!
“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”
With a beat of the wings, it shot up into the sky and flew to a big tree.
Zheng Cheng’s eyes widened, this little creature could actually fly!
Wait, it wasn’t flying.
Like a chicken, it could only glide for a short time and distance.
“Chitter chitter…”
The Asura Mantis was cursing loudly, very agitated, lying on the big tree.
Niu Jindao said with a strange look on his face: “My lord, it’s questioning whether you’ve poisoned it?”
“Poisoned?”
Zheng Cheng sneered: “Enough talk, shoot it down!”
At his command, the archers and sharpshooters next to him immediately drew their bows and aimed their arrows at the Asura Mantis in mid-air.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
More than thirty arrows shot through the sky, covering a range of several tens of meters around the Asura Mantis.
However, the body of the Asura Mantis moved with high speed in the air, easily evading the massive flood of arrows.
What was different was that a sticky liquid kept gushing out from its lower body in mid-air, prompting it to curse loudly repeatedly.
“Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique is useful against the alien insectoid race, but the effect is not significant.”
Zheng Cheng speculated: “Could the alien insectoid race be related to insects?”
“The digestive system and intestines of insects are seemingly different from those of humans, the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique, which is targeted at humans, doesn’t have much effect on the alien insectoid race, unless the level is raised, or… hmm?”
His eyes flashed suddenly, saying: “How could I forget about it!”
“It can weaken all abilities and four-dimensional attributes of the target, and can induce the parasites in their body, it’s simply a natural nemesis for the alien insectoid race!”
His Flower Scepter once again pointed in the direction where the Asura Mantis was flying, a strange wave immediately let loose on it.
Three Corpses Nine Worms!!!
