The mid-heel and rear-foot of the insect-like creature crawled over the city wall, and the claw-like tail was revealed.

Different from ordinary worm-like creatures, this claw-like tail is thicker than the torso, and the sharp hooks and spines on the outer edge all grow upwards, and slowly open and close as the worm-like creatures move, like breathing.

Viewed alone, the clawed tail looks more like a sharp golden claw lifted upwards.

Stab it!Whoosh!Stab it!Whoosh!
Under the sand layer, dozens of golden silk threads sprung straight out, following the threads to the source of intersection, it was the center of the end of the claw-shaped tail of the worm-shaped creature.

The monster as a whole has been completely exposed to the field of vision of the investigation team.

At the center of the protective array, two investigators, a man and a woman, looked at each other for confirmation, and immediately started information collection.

The male investigator took a deep breath and described it seriously: "The body length is about 17 meters. It is presumed to be a beetle creature. The body surface is gorgeous golden, which is very inconsistent with the protective color of the carapace of common insect creatures. The sensory organs are unknown. However, there is an organ at the end of the tail that can spray a large amount of silk thread. According to the situation at the scene, it is speculated that the silk thread is used to bind objects and form a trap area similar to a spider web, so as to sense foreign enemies or hunt. , the silk thread laid out cannot seal the area at all.”

The female investigator, who took notes one by one, looked up when the male investigator suddenly stopped describing.

He noticed that the male investigator was closing his mouth and inhaling, and the next moment, the female investigator also smelled a very strong fragrance.

"Emits pheromones that humans can easily detect."

At this moment, the male investigator looked confused.

The reason is that the beetle monster in front of him is too abnormal in terms of ecological performance.

The gorgeous golden carapace seems to be afraid that other creatures will not be able to see it.

Even humans can easily detect the spread of pheromones, which is equal to broadcasting one's own location at all times.

Generally speaking, monsters with these bold and unrestrained characteristics in ecology are all ancient dragon-level existences.

Otherwise, it would have been eliminated in the ecological circulation long ago.

The treasure hunting team, who were still looking for an infiltration route, naturally couldn't ignore the bright golden color in the moonlit night desert.

"It's just like the monster in Li Fan's paintings, meow!"

After Caibao finished speaking, he immediately stopped infiltrating, because the purpose of the treasure hunting team's trip was to observe the opponent.

"Because the monster's ecology is very special, it is tentatively designated as a five-star monster and it has started eating!"

The male investigator was estimating the threat level, and saw the worm-shaped creature hooking the gray worm's wings through its forelimbs, and putting them into its mouthparts to bite and chew.

Can't help getting excited, and even many people in the investigation team couldn't help but sigh.

The first reason is that unknown monsters have gained food information.

For investigators, even for unknown species with extremely low threats, as long as they obtain a certain amount of certified ecological information, it is a commendable thing.

As for the unknown five-star monster that was preliminarily judged, any information collection can be counted as a great achievement in the investigator's career.

The second reason is even more exciting. The investigation team basically confirmed that it was safe to evacuate.

The reason is that except for some cases such as Tyrannosaurus rex, monsters that can eat normally in front of humans are not hostile.

Of course, the premise is that humans must never make actions that offend each other.

"The transparent part looks like the wing membrane of an insect. It doesn't look like a beetle. Does anyone know what kind of monster material this is?"

The male investigator looked on and asked anxiously.

The middle-aged male team leader stared at it for a moment, and suddenly said: "Many years ago, when I went deep into the unknown area, my investigation team seemed to have killed this kind of insect. By the way! The appearance is somewhat similar to the beetle monster in front of me, but the size should be more It’s a lot smaller, but it’s a pity that after completing the task and returning to the branch to submit the investigation report, I found that this species had been included long ago, but it was very rare.

After the male investigator finished listening, he began to speculate: "Could it be that the elderly or special individuals are devouring the same kind?"

The recorded female investigator suddenly said: "If it is a beetle species, could it be sexual cannibalism?"

"You mean the monster in front of you is a female gray mantis?"

The male investigator asked.

"It's just a speculation. Judging from the appearance, this monster is far from the name of the Gray Mantis."

The female investigator could not give any guarantees either.

"Since the preliminary observation has been completed, we should evacuate immediately and hand over the analysis information to the guild."

The male leader gives instructions.

"Captain, since the other party is not hostile, why not try to collect some leftover traces before leaving? This monster that looks like a gray mantis has no wings, and its size doesn't pose too much threat, and its ability to arrange silk threads is even worse."

The male investigator dissuaded him, obviously not satisfied with leaving like this.

The male team leader hesitated for a moment, but finally insisted on evacuating.

The unknown creature didn't care about the investigation team's movements, and walked along the falling point of the gray mantis' wings, eating without haste.

"Don't look at the golden and silver meow! Li Fan said that after seeing the mantis in the pavilion, he will retreat immediately!"

As Cai Bao said, he raised his cat's paw and wiped the drool from Jin Yin's mouth.

"It's so beautiful, meow, it feels more gorgeous than gold."

Gold and silver watched obsessively.

"I really can't do anything about you meow, pearl meow! Emerald meow! Let's carry the gold and silver away."

Called by Caibao, the three cats worked hard together to lift up the gold and silver, which had stars in their eyes, and took them away.

After the field investigation team withdrew for a certain distance, the middle-aged male leader gave a suggestion to divide the troops into two groups.

Some members brought the collected information back to East Doruma to report, while the other members stayed in the distance and continued to observe.

But even if the material support of the camp is lost, it is extremely difficult to stay in the field, but most of the investigators still want to stay and observe.

The middle-aged male team leader persuaded half of the investigators to go back after a long time.

The ancient city fell into silence again, only the sound of bites echoing continuously.

With a safe enough observation environment, the investigators discovered many incomprehensible things.

If this is a ruin somewhere in an unknown area, it is normal for unknown monsters to exist for a long time.

But it is only four or five hours away from East Doruma by land.

Many residents in the city want to experience the desert ecology, and even come to nearby villages and towns for vacation.

As for ecological or archaeological investigations, they will visit frequently.

How did the other party live here without arousing the slightest notice.

As for the insect wings of the gray mantis, it is even more incomprehensible. After all, even if it is really a cannibal of the beetle species, where are the other parts of the corpse?
As the observation progressed, the left-behind members of the field investigators discovered to their dismay that doubts had not diminished, but had instead increased.

Time passed, and when the mantis pierced the last insect wing and lifted the hook sickle to enjoy it, the head with purple compound eyes slowly moved up, looking up at the night sky.

"Chuckles."

Sophia, who heard two dry sounds, came to the edge of the city wall to investigate.

Seeing Ge Mantis raising her head to stare at the sky, she raised her head curiously.

"how can that be!"

Sophia looked at the red meteor with its long tail in the sky, and let out a cry of surprise.

However, what shocked him even more was yet to come. The red meteor swooped down after raising its altitude.

During the sprint, two sharp red starbursts were thrown out, and then the altitude was quickly raised, climbing rapidly at a vertical angle.

"Sparkle! Get out of the way!"

Sophia shouted down.

The mantis did not move, and a rainbow light flashed on the purple compound eyes composed of countless tiny grids.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
On the surface of the sandy ground, a silk thread surged up and became tense to the extreme in an instant.

Boom!hum!
The steel beam, which is the same size as its body, spins up under the drag of the wrapped silk thread.

The claw-like tail is slightly raised, lightly lifting the steel beam upright.

Squeak!

The upward-bending hook sickle uses the connecting joint with the forefoot to resist the silk thread, and the straight silk thread is immediately stretched obliquely.

When the hook sickle touched lightly, the worm thread was stretched again, and was continuously wrapped around the tip as the hook sickle rotated.

After wrapping around more than a dozen times, Ge Mantis raised the hook and sickle wrapped in worm silk, and swung it quickly.

Huh~huh~huh~huh!hum!
The huge steel beams and columns quickly rotated into a circle.

The strange thing is that the mantis is as light as a tree branch when it swings, but the wind caused by the swing is more violent and frightening.

The two scorching carapaces with red starlight shining at the tips were getting closer, and the mantis did not retreat.

Call ~
The whirling sound stopped abruptly!

The steel beam was pulled out violently under the drag of the silk thread.

Boom!boom!
A huge metal hum sounded, and two groups of red flames exploded.

A piece of scorching carapace was knocked into the air, changed its falling path, and plunged straight into the wall of the ruined castle.

After the other piece was knocked into the air, it bounced into the air again, and quickly fell while flipping.

"Evacuate!"

The head of the investigation team saw that the parabola was coming towards him, and quickly gave instructions.

Puff!Clap!Clap! .
The scorching carapace went straight into the sand where the few people were lurking just now, blasting out a pothole

A large group of electric light with red and black dragon aura spilled out from the center of the scorching carapace.

"Huh~huh~ It's too dangerous. If this is a direct hit and falls, it may not be possible to avoid it."

The head of the investigation team, panting heavily, looked at the pothole and said with lingering fear.

"Captain, if you look at it this way, isn't the power of that unknown creature even more outrageous."

The male investigator couldn't hide the shock on his face.

"Then change the preliminary threat assessment to six stars."

Just when the head of the investigation team was about to redefine the threat of Ge Mantis, an extremely sharp roar came from the ancient ruins city.

hum ~ hum ~
After a while, the continuous shock was transmitted to the feet.

On the broken city wall of the ancient ruins, ashes and dust continued to spread out with the tremors.

Just when the members of the investigation team thought that a sandstorm was coming, the wreckage outside the trembling ancient city suddenly collapsed in a large area.

But what they can't understand is that this collapse is not a bottom-up fall, but a paragraph defect.

It seems that something is taking away part of the large wreckage in the way of pulling building blocks.

The wreckage could not maintain support, so it fell into collapse.

With the continuous spread of silted ash and dust, the field of vision was quickly completely blocked.

"Why did Tianhuilong come, and what happened in the ancient city of the ruins?"

The head of the investigation team stared blankly at the ancient city engulfed in dust, completely unable to think of any clues.

The experience accumulated over the years of field investigation seems to be all invalid at this moment.

"Leader! Let me go and see!"

The male investigator took the initiative to stand up and say.

"No, going now is death!"

The head of the investigation team categorically denied it.

"This is the last chance, otherwise, when the sandstorm hits, we may not even be able to determine where we are."

The corner of the investigation team leader's eyes twitched slightly, and finally squeezed out two words helplessly.

"Ok."

"Well, trust me."

Seeing the investigators running towards the sandstorm, the head of the investigation team gritted his teeth and issued an evacuation order.

Just when everyone was retreating, the female investigator partner suddenly turned around and chased after her. She waved the thick notebook and shouted, "Someone needs to help him record it!"

"come on."

The head of the investigation group finished his words lightly and led the crowd to evacuate quickly.

The headquarters of the Eastern Doruma Guild was in a mess at this time because Tianhuilong was observed passing through the sky.

It's not that the ability to deal with emergencies is insufficient, but that the guild has exhausted all its energy to deal with Lao Shanlong, Steel Dragon, and unknown monsters, and the appearance of Tianhuilong is beyond expectation.

The only good thing right now is that, judging from the collected information, it seems that Tianhuilong just passed by above.

The ruins of the ancient city, in a secret room inside the castle.

The crying and howling brought by the wind and sand continued to resound in the house.

With the help of the oil lamp on the table, Sophia quickly flipped through her editor's notes.

After reading for a long time without any clue, she closed the notebook, turned off the oil lamp, and kept shaking her head in the darkness.

"It's impossible for the Sky Comet Dragon to appear at this time, and it's even more impossible to attack Shining. Its target should be other ancient dragons. Shining is the least likely target to be attacked. This is unreasonable! Why!"

Sophia is emotionally unstable.

It wasn't until he touched the frog puppet bag by his side that he relaxed a little.

She reached into her bag and took out a white rectangle.

Slap!Thin white fingers split the white rectangular object from the middle.

The brilliance released by the upper and lower square screens is reflected on Sophia's face.

She skillfully pulled out a touch pen, and kept sliding on the screen below.

In the center of the upper screen, a black straight line with countless nodes, each node containing a lot of information, is moving sideways and flying back.

Before coming to the node named Silver Winged Ominous Star, Sophia clicked to expand it with the stylus.

After carefully reading the above information, the unfolded white rectangle was closed, and the secret room fell into darkness again.

"The timeline in the 3DS is impossible to be wrong. Tianhuilong did attack Fengshenlong and Leishenlong. What went wrong?"

Just when Sophia clenched her fists and thought, she suddenly noticed the abnormality of 3ds.

Slap! 3ds is unfolded again.

At the end of the timeline that appeared in front of me, there were only three nodes left: Steel Dragon, Lao Shanlong, and Ge Mantis.

It wasn't any different than what Sophia had seen before.

But the words at the top of the screen have changed slightly.

Determination, stamina, wisdom, courage, fortune.

Among the above five words, only wisdom and courage are shining.

At the moment, the word fortune is also glowing with a faint brilliance.
