The "stems and leaves" on the heads of the two mantises were shaking constantly, as if they were their antennae. Insects' compound eyes are very sensitive to dynamic objects, but Ouyang couldn't see clearly when he didn't move.

After using its tentacles to capture the source and direction of the smell, one of the mantises with a broken arm jumped up and flew towards the place where Ouyang was hiding at an extremely fast speed with a murderous aura.

This is a vengeful assassin!

"coming."

Ouyang looked at the oncoming mantis and did not dodge. A sickle-like forelimb swung at him. He calmly dodged the swipe sideways, and the corner of his clothes was cut off a little.

Immediately afterwards, Ouyang twisted up his body at a speed that was nearly twice as fast as the mantis, swung the short tactical spear in his hand, and struck with one blow, first piercing the green skin of the mantis.

Then, the blade that entered the mantis' body did not pause at all. From bottom to top, it cut back toward the chest and abdomen of the mantis, which was not protected by a hard armor like tree bark, and cut open the soft part with one stroke.

"Shua——!"

The reason why vertebrates are able to dominate the earth and occupy so many ecological niches is that, in addition to their size advantage, the most important thing is that the nerves of vertebrates are wrapped with a sheath, which can conduct nerve electrons without damage, making the vertebrates' reaction speed faster.

Far more than other creatures.

Before the stung mantis could react, a huge gash was opened.

After cutting open the abdominal cavity of the praying mantis, Ouyang directly patched it up with his kick. With a crisp "click" sound, he kicked the praying mantis into two pieces along the cut, and green juice immediately "kicked" from inside.

"Gurgling, gurgling" spewed out.

The mantis twitched like a nerve reflex on the ground, and then showed no reaction at all.

A life-and-death fight is often a matter of a split second. Whether it is life or death, it all ends in a split second.

It's not as fancy as the so-called "one move, one move" in martial arts novels, nor is there a 300-round battle between you and me in romance novels.

Fighting in the forest is more bloody and primitive, and it is more in line with battlefield fighting. In many cases, the relationship between life and death is just such a intersection.

Just like a tiger attacking a sheep or an eagle fighting a rabbit, the battle is about who reacts faster and who strikes harder at that intersecting moment. That's all. Nothing else.

Bloody, primitive, simple, rustic, pure!

"It's very fast, but it's just an instant burst of power. It's very powerful, but it doesn't have the skills to match it." Ouyang commented softly after finishing dealing with a mantis.

In other words, this guy has plenty of strength, but lacks mobility, just like a robot.

Although he looked down upon him, his work did not stop. After all, only the mantis with a broken arm was solved. There was still a mantis with richer fighting skills, stronger combat power, and a sharper sickle that had not been solved.

.

Ouyang didn't rush forward in a hurry, but calmly aimed at the mantis with his "bone and flesh" technique.

I just used hand-to-hand combat because I wanted to simply test this species, because the next thing humans will encounter is such a creature.

The test results showed that even the regular army of this era could solve it, and Ouyang felt relieved.

Now that we have roughly obtained the data, there is no need to waste time.

After all, times have changed...

"Squeak - click, click, click!"

The giant mantis first made a weird noise, and then under Ouyang's shocked eyes, it slashed at each other with its sickle-like arms, cutting off its own sickle arm.

For a moment, green juice surged out from the broken arm like spring water. Fortunately, it was an insect. It only surged for a while, and then the wound gradually began to heal and there was no more juice.

But the most threatening and lethal arm is broken and will never grow back.

In order to survive, it even sacrificed its martial arts skills to pray for a way out!

Incredible! A mere insect has such intelligence?!

Ouyang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Squeak - click, click, click, click!"

Mantis made a weird noise again, looking at Ouyang holding a pistol in front of him, not daring to move at all.

Although there was no pleading tone or eyes, just staring at Ouyang like this, there was always

There is an indescribable feeling of humility.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Ouyang suddenly asked on a whim.

"Squeak!" The mantis nodded its head, and the camouflaged skin like fern leaves on its body shrank, revealing its original majestic and domineering figure.

It's just that without his arms, he looks as disabled as he needs to be.

Tsk, have you become a sperm?

Ouyang smacked his lips and rubbed his temples, not knowing what to do with this praying mantis.

Let it go... With the IQ of a guy like this, if he joins the tribe, he might start a revolution, or directly establish a mantis empire.

But don't let go...it feels a little inhumane. After all, the opponent has already removed all his strongest offensive weapons. It is really unjustifiable to pursue him so relentlessly.

[Deoxys, can you understand what this mantis is saying?] Ouyang asked telepathically.

[No. Your Excellency, although this kind of creature has a certain degree of intelligence, it is at best similar to ordinary mammals, and the gap between it and humans is not the same dimension. They have not developed their own specific language, and at most they are just a few words.

A specific note represents a specific meaning.] Deoxys responded.

"Then how can it understand what I'm saying?" Ouyang asked.

[This...may be some kind of speciality? Maybe only it knows about it.] Deoxys responded.

[Is there any way to communicate?] Ouyang asked curiously.

[Yes... In fact, we have tried that experiment before in Jumu.] Deoxys reminded, [By studying the group sociality of parasitic bacteria, we have concluded that the two species can communicate directly and simply.

】

When he was in Jumuyi, Ouyang tried to study the group nature of zombies and how their signals were transmitted to each other. Zombies seemed to have their own way of communicating, being able to "call friends" and invite their companions to join them.

In fact, the main purpose of that experiment was to find the signal source of the mastermind through this connection and to see who was controlling the mutation of zombies and the evolution of parasitic bacteria, but in the end it only studied the transmission of signals.

The mastermind behind the scenes has no signal source. The mutation of the zombies is unexpected, but the evolution of the parasitic bacteria has been programmed.

The only modification was to make an emergency "brake" in response to the excessive "unbridled" mutation of zombies and the excessive rapid evolution of parasites. However, that modification was too subtle and rapid, and Ouyang and Deoxys did not

Able to catch the opponent's clues.

[Can I try it?] Ouyang was a little unsure.

Because this research was not perfect, the research was terminated after learning that the mastermind behind it could not be found, so it can only be regarded as a semi-finished technology.

[Yes, I have already established a false model, with a success rate of 67%. It is worth a try, but it requires you to pay a small price. 】

[What's the price?] Ouyang asked curiously.

【It may hurt a little.】

[Eh?] Ouyang was stunned for a moment.

…………………………………………

More than twenty minutes later, Ouyang clutched his stomach and leaned against a big tree, looking exhausted.

His face was visibly dark, and he looked like an over-indulgent "time management guru."

Don't get me wrong, Ouyang didn't do anything abnormal, it's just that anyone missing an organ would be like this.

Deoxys said it hurt a little, but in fact it didn't really hurt. After all, there are "bone-flesh connections" to fine-tune muscles and nerves. It is completely possible to cut off pain nerves and allow him to have a painless operation. In fact, Ouyang does

This is also done.

But if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt... But after losing half of the liver, this feeling of nausea and discomfort really makes people feel... inexplicably "painful"?

It's like I'm missing something (in fact, I'm missing something). Although it's not that painful, it's still very empty and empty, which makes people very uncomfortable.

It's an exaggeration to say it hurts, but it's really uncomfortable.

It's not pathological, but a psychological, wonderful feeling.

Now, he can only use the "bone-flesh connection" to temporarily replace the role of the liver, allowing it to use its own series of functions to help him detoxify and detoxify.

But it’s not my original after all.

Somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, the essence of "flesh and blood" is a biological weapon, and detoxification and detoxification are still somewhat noisy. Ouyang can see his belly rolling up and down with the naked eye, and it looks abnormal no matter how he looks.

"Deoxys, if the operation fails, I will put you in a bottle so that you will never be able to fly for the rest of your life!" Ouyang fell beside the tree and groaned weakly.

As a genetic host, although he does not have the control over Deoxys to directly control his thoughts, he still has restrictions on his freedom of life.

But he could only punish or threaten Deoxys in this way.

After all, for Deoxys, the "god" who has no desires and desires, the meaning of his existence is only "survival" itself.

In other words, it is to ensure that Ouyang is alive so that it can "survive". For other things, it is currently unknown what its pursuits are.

If so, it's probably just another "battle" with Nightmare God Darkrai to regain his face.

"Sir, I don't actually have the ability to fly. I just floated because my body was too light." Deoxys corrected him seriously.

"Have you finished cleaning up? Are you so busy here?" Ouyang glanced at the humanoid alien creature in front of him and complained.

Deoxys did not speak, but turned into a stream of light and entered Ouyang's body, replacing the "bone and flesh connection" position, turning part of his body into a liver, and then curiously poked his head out of Ouyang's arm.
