The strength displayed by this leader of the Blood Mantis Mantis is not even as good as an ordinary fantasy beast, and it does not reflect the power that a king-level soul beast should have at all.
Murong Ya raised the giant sword with both hands, wanting to deliver the final blow. Once she was recognized as an enemy, she would not show mercy at all. Even if the mantis leader was no longer a threat, she would not give up.
"Wait..." Zheng Feng raised his jade mace and stopped Murong Ya.
"What's wrong? Do you still want to spare its life?" Murong Ya's eyes showed doubts. As far as she knew, she, 'Ouni-chan', was not a soft-hearted person and would never show mercy to her enemies.
Zheng Feng shook his head. He didn't know clearly, but he always felt that the mantis leader was acting a bit strange and wanted to find out.
Murong Ya and Zheng Feng put away their weapons, but the blood shadow mantises around them still did not dare to attack. Even their leader was tortured half to death by these two terrifying humans, so how could they dare to blaspheme.
The leader of the mantis was covered in black blood, dragging an obvious blood trail on the ground, but he still crawled to an open space with difficulty, letting out bursts of desolate screams, which made the two of them feel inexplicable sadness.
The originally empty ground was now covered with black blood. The ground squirmed, and a dark egg burst out of the ground and flew in front of the leader of the mantis. On the dark surface, streaks of bright red appeared.
Bloodshot.
"Just gave birth?!" Seeing this scene, Zheng Feng instantly understood why this king-level mantis leader was so weak.
Once the spirit beast is close to giving birth, its strength will be affected. Especially during the period just after giving birth, their strength will fall to the lowest point. The more powerful the spirit beast is, the more obvious this symptom will be, because the stronger the spirit beast is, the more powerful the spirit beast is.
If they want to produce offspring, the amount of blood they have to consume is also staggering, often dozens of times that of ordinary spirit beasts.
Therefore, many mercenaries will take advantage of the weak period after the birth of powerful soul beasts to steal their offspring. This has never changed. The encounter between Ya and Zheng Feng happened under such circumstances, but Ya is younger than others.
Fortunately for Zai, she met Zheng Feng and successfully escaped from the clutches of the mercenary group.
"Meow! Master~"
Ya tugged at Zheng Feng's robe with her small mouth, her eyes filled with tears. Seeing this scene, she seemed to think of her mother, who used her huge body to fight for her chance to escape.
Zheng Feng was also very distressed. He naturally understood what Ya was thinking. But... this was a king-level beast crystal, and it also had high-level mutation attributes of death and blood. It was especially precious. If it was swallowed by Ya, it might be able to make people suffer.
If Ya breaks through again, even if he can't break through, Ya's own bloodline will definitely be strengthened.
Let it go?! Isn’t it such a pity?!
But if he doesn't agree, Ya doesn't know how he will get into trouble with him...
"Don't think about it, this Blood Mantis can't survive..." Taili whispered.
The Mantis King stopped mourning, and his body was filled with black light. He spat out a few drops of black-gold blood from his mouth, and blended it into the mantis egg drop by drop.
"That golden blood is the concentration of blood essence. Each drop is comparable to absorbing her corpse once with the Blood Nether Art. But under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Blood Nether Art to absorb this blood essence. Only the soul beast itself can absorb it from the blood.
It is impossible for a soul beast to survive after it has been refined and loses its bloodline essence..." Tail explained in a low voice.
At first, she was extremely disgusted with the group of praying mantises occupying the cave, and wished that Zheng Feng would help her kill them all. But now, she found that the anger in her heart had long subsided, and what was left was actually a faint sadness.
The Blood Mantis King had no intention of living at all. Before she died, she completely instilled the power of her bloodline into her children, just so that the children could live better. Even if they were enslaved by humans, they would not
Will be defeated easily.
The light on the leader of the mantis gradually dimmed, and after closing his bright red eyes, he could never open them again.
A pitch-black egg was leaning quietly against its mother, unaware that the mother it was relying on was already a lifeless corpse...
Bang--!
The originally sealed passage suddenly exploded, and a huge rhinoceros rushed out from the rubble. When the dust settled, the people in the passage were gradually revealed.
The exit was opened, and the blood shadow mantis swarm began to riot again and swarmed forward.
When Gu Yue and his party were preparing to fight, they heard Zheng Feng shouting: "Don't attack."
Although it was unclear, everyone still pushed down the side of the cave wall and did not launch an attack.
Sure enough, all the blood shadow mantises seemed not to see the crowd, flying directly past them without any sign of attack, and hurriedly fled from the cave full of corpses of the same kind.
After the chaotic battle, Zheng Feng dug out all the beast crystals. Although the level was a bit low, quantity always wins. Anyway, if you are not picky about your food, the accumulation of small things will always bring some changes to your body.
As for the corpses, they were all eaten intact by the Swamp Beast. He was already at the critical point of a quasi-spiritual beast master, and the power of devouring blood had no effect, so the corpses of dozens of Blood Mantises were not touched.
.
For the swamp beast, this is simply an extremely luxurious feast, and the biggest benefit is undoubtedly the cliff.
The Blood Shadow Mantis is only a mid-range ferocious beast. After devouring each one, it can only increase a few points of beast soul power, but it cannot hold up to the large number of corpses that fill the cave. There are at least one or two hundred corpses. The Blood Shadow Mantis is a mid-range spiritual beast. Although
There are only dozens of corpses, but each one can increase the beast soul power by dozens of points. In the end, totaling up, this is enough to increase the cliff's beast soul power by more than two thousand points.
After the body of the Mantis King was devoured, the beast soul power did not increase at all. It should be because she had already refined all the blood essence before her death, so the huge beast crystal still fell into Zheng Feng's hands.
But even so, the growth of Cliff's strength is enough to be enviable.
He was promoted from a low-ranking beast master to a middle-ranked beast master. His beast soul power reached 7494 points, surpassing the twins. He was not far behind the upper-rank beast master. The speed was astonishing. However, everyone also knew that this kind of spirit beast's lair could not be broken into.
There are not many opportunities. If the level of the soul beast is too low, it will be useless to devour it. If the level is high, can they kill it?
At this time, a group of people all gathered around the black mantis egg. They couldn't laugh or cry because the small fangs were exposed. They angrily protected the mantis egg and refused to let anyone touch it.
In the end, only after Zheng Feng promised that Ya would not harm the egg, could everyone see the offspring of the king-level soul beast.
The surface of the mantis egg is pitch black, with streaks of red blood streaked across it. It is not very big, just a few dozen centimeters, and looks like a soft outer membrane, but is extremely hard to the touch.
"If a king-level egg is auctioned, it will definitely be worth a sky-high price, right?" Fu Yanjie looked at it and even forgot to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, which aroused everyone's contempt.
"You can use it for your own use, but you can never put it up for auction." Zheng Feng shook his head and said, he agreed to the tooth, but he couldn't dispose of it casually.
Everyone was just interested in taking a look, and no one wanted to take it for themselves. Although the eggs of king-level soul beasts were very attractive, they had wrong attributes. What could be done?!
This egg should have dual attributes of blood and death, but among the people present, besides Zheng Feng, who else can ‘enjoy’ it?
But the soul beast that Zheng Feng wanted to sign had already been decided, and he was not very interested in the egg. In the end, the discussion was fruitless, so he had to put the mantis eggs away first and distribute them after it was over.
"Let's explore this cave separately to see if there is anything suspicious." Zheng Feng used Sylph as a light and began to search.
Except for those praying mantises, there is no danger here, at least...according to Tails...
The crowd quickly dispersed. Under the temptation of the treasure, even Lin Tianxue covered her nose and darted around in the cave filled with the smell of blood to see if she could find any clues.
Zheng Feng walked to the bones of the Netherworld Tiger based on his memory. Under the faint green light, he found that the bones of the Netherworld Tiger were missing. He didn't know the treasure at first, but he saw in an ancient book that the bones of the Netherworld Tiger could be used.
After making the medicine, my intestines turned green. What a precious main medicine!
Although the medicine was of no use to him, Yan Jie said that many people were willing to buy it at a high price.
