Chapter 257: Mantis: Death Scythe (2)
I firmly defend my innocence as a male praying mantis.
Never let the female mantis succeed.
After a heavy rain, the several hunting bases I had scouted were washed away by the rain, leaving nothing behind.
Only a group of ants at the roots of the tree were hurriedly carrying out the food stored in their nest.
Eh~~~
It's a dead caterpillar.
I don't eat dead things. I like lively insects, which have a sweet taste.
I didn't find any food, but the female mantis caught a cicada that crawled out from under the tree. It was dazed and not very big.
The female mantis generously handed over the whole cicada. The cicada's body was hung on the hook at the end of its sickle, swaying like bait when fishing.
[Gu~]
Hold on, you can’t have it!
I turned my head with great courage, spread my wings, and flew to another tree.
The mouth is pretending to be strong, but the tears are surrendering.
Damn, I'm so hungry! I can't catch any bugs!
Damn the rain!
The female mantis thought she could take it down with one move, but she didn't expect...
It shook its head, picked up the cicada and started to eat it, eating very quickly. Its belly, which had been shriveled up a few days ago in order to look pitiful, had now become bulging with nutrition reserves.
After the rain, the sun finally cleared up, and a turning point came——
[My dears, look, I am not exaggerating. My luck has always been very good. I found such a rare chicken mushroom! ]
A voice suddenly rang out in the cold woods; it was a man with a gruff voice.
He was holding a selfie stick in his left hand, carrying a large bamboo basket behind him, and in his right hand he was holding a few long chicken mushrooms with conical caps.
[My dears, where there are chicken mushrooms, there are usually termite nests. Do you want to see what the queen termite looks like? It is also a tonic. It can be used to make wine to strengthen the body and improve immunity. It is a good thing that money can't buy! Only villagers like me who go to the mountains have the opportunity to eat fresh ones! ]
[Hahaha, this link cannot be uploaded. If you really want it, you can draw a prize later. The top brother on the list will have priority! ]
【Crack! 】
I couldn’t see what was displayed on the man’s live broadcast page, but just by listening to him chattering, I knew it must be very lively.
[Wow, there's a big mantis here. What a handsome guy!]
As the man spoke, a big hand that still smelled of dirt reached out decisively and grabbed the mantis.
He raised his right hand to the phone and enlarged the mantis's triangular head and stuck it directly on the camera lens.
A large number of frightened emoticons popped up in the barrage. The rich and noble young man, who had never seen such rustic fun, waved his hand and gave away ten carnivals worth 30,000 coins.
The man's mouth was almost crooked with smile, and he gently stroked the mantis's little head with his fingertips lovingly.
[Thank you for the Carnival, hahahaha, I will adopt it right away. It's all alone, how pitiful! ]
There were many people agreeing in the barrage, and the screen was full of thumbs up and 111.
The female mantis could never have imagined that in a flash, the handsome man she had been eyeing disappeared without a trace.
Unwilling and angry, it chopped the large grasshopper it had just caught into dozens of pieces...
【Crack! 】
All the way home with the man, I was holding a huge, fat termite queen that was longer than me. I didn't want to stop even though my stomach was about to explode.
Wow, I've never eaten such delicious, juicy and milky bugs!
Oh my god, I have always wanted to catch a queen ant to try, but I can’t defeat the overwhelming swarm of termites…
Following the lord, thumbs up!
Yes, the man’s online name is Countryside Lord, and it is displayed in the upper left corner of the live broadcast page!
He really did as he promised during the live broadcast and built a mansion for me with plastic boxes. I had food and drink and lived a fairy-like life!
(?′︶`?)
On rainy days when he couldn't go out, he would point the camera at my mansion and broadcast a live broadcast. The audience watching online were very active and chattering, even more lively than when he usually went up the mountain to dig mushrooms and collect mountain products.
[What? You asked me if this mantis is single? Brother, that's not fair. You can't generalize. I've been single since birth. The mountains are poor, and young people are running away. How can there be young girls willing to marry in and do farm work...]
A long string of [HAHAHAHAHA! ] flashed across the screen quickly.
The top brother on the list applied for connection.
The man was scrolling up to a comment that was obviously from a girl, and his hand slid, and the connection was made.
Big Brother on the List: [Hello, Lord! ]
The country lord rubbed his hands vigorously, feeling a little embarrassed and a little excited: [Hello, hello, I'm fine! ]
Netizen A——[Hahahahahahaha, I am dying of laughter, this country bumpkin met the real Lord, and he made a mistake on the spot! ]
Netizen B——[I really hope that the top guy on the list will look at me! When will this overwhelming wealth fall on my head? ! ]
Netizen C——[Be quiet, be quiet, listen to what Allah says. If He can share some secrets of getting rich, I will practice it overnight, do as He says, and copy it perfectly! ]
Big Brother: [I have always been curious. When I was a kid, I watched cartoons in which the female mantis would eat the male mantis after mating. Lord, can you let me see the live version? ]
Countryside Lord: (?｀?Д?′)!!
The mantis that gnawed the plump mealworm in half: Huh? ? ???
Netizen ABC——【Hahahaha, we want to see it too! 】
Countryside Lord: [Okay, I love my fans the most. When the rain stops, I will go to the forest to look for female mantises!]
Big Brother on the List: [I suggest you look for it in the place where it was found. What if you accidentally separate a pair of wild mandarin ducks? ]
Mantis Benlang: Damn wild mandarin duck, this guy’s brain must be clouded by money and he can’t see my big eyes that are angry and full of desire to survive!
That night, the female mantis was hit by the beam of the searchlight and dared not move, as if her acupoints were pressed. But when she came to her senses, she saw the handsome man who had disappeared for several days.
Well, the handsome man is no longer the same as before, he is so fat that I can't recognize him...
The female mantis took a deep breath and said: This is a marriage destined by heaven, hahaha, you can’t escape it!
How could he miss such a live broadcast opportunity to earn traffic? The man cleaned up the desk and started another live broadcast without any warning - [Mantis's Wedding Night!!!]
After all, he is a professional self-media person. Look at the title, it is 100% eye-catching!
Netizen A: [What’s going on? Isn’t it easy for a girl to chase a boy? The male mantis ran as if it was being chased by a ghost…]
Netizen B——[If you were it, would you run away? ]
The top brother on the list gave three carnivals as rewards.
Netizen C——【!!! Caught up! 】
The rural lord lowered his voice to dub the two voiceless protagonists: [Come chase me, if you catch up with me, I will let you hehehehe! ]
Just as he finished speaking, the male mantis's tail was hooked by the female mantis's sickle, and it was forcibly dragged back and pressed under its body, and it was about to stick to it.
The top brother on the list rewards ten carnivals and one hundred heart-beating Cupids!
Country Lord: [Brother, don't get excited. The meal isn't cooked yet! If it really falls asleep, it will have to sacrifice itself for the sake of its offspring even if it doesn't want to! ]
Before she could finish her words, the female mantis was kicked away and hit the inner wall of the plastic box...
Netizen A——[Ahahahahahaha, the other party rejected your moral blackmail and kicked you in the heart! ]
The top brother on the list continued his efforts and rewarded another 100 Heart-beating Cupids!
A wealthy family is likely to raise a simple-minded romantic person. He doesn't believe that the arrow of Cupid cannot penetrate the thin body of the male mantis!
【Crack! 】
Hey, I say, are you playing so shameless? Female mantis, if you come to force me, my sickle will be aimed at your head!
The female mantis ignored her and lost her patience with the handsome man. She was going to die anyway, so she might as well remove her hands and feet. As long as her lower body was intact and she could mate with him, that would be enough!
The wedding night turned into a fight of life and death. The live broadcast room went viral and immediately became number one on the hot list!
Countless puzzled viewers clicked in with curiosity, then opened their mouths wide to watch the two mantises dance with their sickles vigorously.
Netizen——[Excuse me, aren’t you looking at the praying mantis?! ]
No one paid attention to this newbie.
The first brother on the list sat in the bathtub, with his phone placed vertically on the stand of the small table. He covered his chest with his hands, so nervous that he couldn't breathe, as if he was the one being hacked by a female demon...
【ah--】
A terrible scream came from the man lying next to the plastic box.
The female mantis looked down in astonishment and found that her upper and lower bodies were cut in half...
It died with its eyes open. That's not what my mother taught me!
As for the male mantis, he was not in a good situation either. He injured the enemy by 1,000 but lost 800 of his own.
The whiskers on its head were cut off and scattered on the side of the mealworms, its wings were shattered into pieces so it could no longer fly, and its lower abdomen was also cut open, leaving only a layer of shriveled skin...
[Hey, don't die, I'll feed you grasshoppers! ]
The man threw a green grasshopper, but the male mantis's sickle did not move, only its mouth opened, as if waiting for the grasshopper to fly to its mouth automatically.
is it possible?
impossible!
The grasshopper kicked with its powerful legs, turning its triangular head 180 degrees with a greedy look on its face.
The top brother on the list sank himself to the bottom of the bathtub in disappointment. He held his breath for ten seconds before climbing up with red eyes. He was fooled by the cartoons he watched as a child again. Humph!
The male mantis, who has been rationally pursuing food rather than love all his life, has died!
