Chapter 188 The loneliness and loneliness of the traveler(1/2)

The mouthparts of the mantis are chewing type, and the upper jaw is extremely powerful. There are three layers of chewing jaws inside. The outermost one is the largest and looks like the jaws of ants and beetles. It is responsible for preliminary tearing of meat.

The inner two layers of chewing jaws are smaller and can grind and chew food finely, while the innermost one is responsible for transporting it.

The arm of this mantis was not completely chopped off, but only the front scythe section. Now it no longer flows with green juice and looks to have healed.

It is now using its severed arm to turn over the horned deer and eat the muscle parts that can be eaten.

Among the many organs in the human body, the liver has a special function and is the only organ that can regenerate.

Deoxys used part of Ouyang's liver as a seed, planted it into the body of the giant mantis, and connected it to the hematopoietic system and metabolic system of the giant mantis.

This transformation allows both parties to perceive the meaning expressed by the other party on a certain channel.

However, due to modifications, the giant mantis may only be able to bleed red blood instead of light green juice in the future.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Ouyang said to Mantis.

The mantis gave up eating, looked at Ouyang, and made a sound with its large pincer-like mouthparts: "Chick-kick-kick-kick-kick!"

[Can understand.] A message was transmitted to Ouyang's mind along with the sound of the mantis.

However, before Ouyang could be happy, the mantis said another sentence: "Squeak - click, click, click, click, click!"

【But don’t you know? It’s very rude to disturb someone’s meal.】

"Uh... I'm sorry, please continue." Ouyang scratched his cheek awkwardly and then made a gesture of invitation.

The mantis didn't say anything this time, but continued to eat the horned deer on the ground.

After about five minutes, the meat on the armored deer was completely eaten, and even the marrow was broken open and eaten. The giant mantis looked at Ouyang again and used its mouthparts like large claws to scream.

sound:

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

[Sorry, because the injury is too serious, I must eat in time...]

"Squeak - clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack!"

[Only in this way can I maintain normal vital signs, and this is an instinctive impulse that I cannot control.]

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

【If you have anything to ask, just ask.】

"Well..." Ouyang touched his chin and asked, "Why can you understand what I say? Do you understand it when you are born, or... you understand it after you become like this."

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

[I don’t understand it from birth, I also need to learn.]

"Squeak - clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack!"

[But I learned pronunciation when I was still a human. It was a really leisurely time.]

The giant mantis said, and wiped his face with his severed arm, especially the big green eyes, wiping away all the dust on them.

"Were you a human before?!" Ouyang looked at Mantis in shock, finding it difficult to accept, "Are you a time traveler?"

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

[Ah, it turns out you also know about time travellers, that will make it easier to explain. 】

"Squeak - clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack!"

[Yes, I am a senior high school student from 2018, who came to this world because of a car accident. 】

"Squeak - cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, clack!"

[I saw the gun in your hand and confirmed that you are also a time traveler. 】

"Squeak - clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack!"

[But when I see the alien-like creature you summoned, I don’t dare to move.]

Ouyang nodded, Deoxys's appearance was indeed very curious.

However, the other party didn't know what Deoxys was, which is worth pondering. After all, Deoxys is a very distinctive Pokémon among Pokémon.

It shined brilliantly in the theatrical version called "The Shame of Rayquaza".

"So when you traveled through time, were you the only one? How long have you been traveling here?" Ouyang continued to ask.

"Squeak -giggle! Giggle giggles!"

[I don’t know, there are four students and a teacher in the same car with me, but you are the only time traveler I have met.]

"Squeak - clack clack clack! clack clack clack clack!"

[It has been a year since I came to this world. In the past year, I have been living as an ordinary praying mantis, hunting and eating, and following my own instincts. 】

"..."

[But in this month, the world seems to have undergone some incredible changes. My thinking suddenly became clear from a state of confusion. 】

"This month...it seems to be the time when the power of distortion breaks out." Ouyang nodded to himself in a voice that only he could hear, and then said, "Then when did you become what you are now?

Something like that.”

"..."

[That is, this week, my food intake suddenly increased, and then it began to mutate. 】

"..."

[The process at the beginning is very painful. It requires constant shedding and growing, and the whole body feels like it is being torn apart. 】

"..."

[Shedding the skin is very difficult, and it is often difficult to come back. Later, I found a companion, and we helped each other shed the skin, and then we were able to completely mutate.】

"It's really... an amazing evolution." Ouyang's eyes twitched, he praised, and then said slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that was your companion at that time."

"..."

[Nothing, it’s just mutual use. There’s no deep feelings. It just wants to reproduce with me. 】

"..."

[But we are not suitable from the depths of our souls. After all, my soul is a human being. It’s okay to eat bugs. Finding a bug is too outrageous.]

"Uh... the topic suddenly started from the heavy flavor and became cheaper..." Ouyang rubbed his swollen temples and decided to drop the topic.

"I originally thought there would be a fierce battle. But you are not that powerful, but your camouflage skills are really top-notch." Ouyang said awkwardly at first, walked to the body of the mantis, and suddenly became interested, and then

He said with admiration,

"They look so much like saplings! I've always heard that praying mantises are very skilled at camouflage mimicry. When they lie on a branch, they become a branch, and when they lie on a leaf, they become a leaf. Now it seems that you are better than the camouflage mimicry of mantises before.

The technology is so much better, even if I am dead now, lying in the grass, I can still see things without looking carefully. If I am attacked by you without noticing, I will still die even if I am more powerful than them!"

After Ouyang finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He looked at the giant mantis with an awkward smile, and suddenly found that his emotional intelligence disappeared in an instant, and explained: "Ahem, sorry..."

"..."

Mantis said: [Nothing, you are right, sometimes powerful people may not necessarily win the battle. 】

Ouyang continued to change the topic and asked: "Have you seen any missing soldiers before?"

"..."

The mantis shook his head: [One, one was snatched away by a huge bird, which seemed to be a night owl or an owl. It made no sound when flying, and the other was snatched away by a 'burrow'.



"A cave? What is that?" Ouyang grasped a word keenly.

"..."

The mantis expressed a feeling of fear and said: [That is a very scary thing that will drag people or creatures directly into it. The creatures who go in don't know what they will encounter. In short, it has never appeared again. ]

Ouyang frowned and narrowed his eyes. He felt that things seemed to be far more complicated than he thought. He immediately said: "Can you take me to find the so-called 'burrow'?"

"..."

[Sorry, it’s impossible. It’s not because I’m timid, but because of the cave.

It is elusive in itself. It will appear suddenly, and after swallowing a creature, it will suddenly disappear again, making it difficult to locate at all.】

"More like a phenomenon than a living thing?" Ouyang boldly guessed.

"..."

[It should look like this.] Mantis nodded.

Ouyang was silent for a while, and then asked: "Do you have any other plans next?"

"..."

[Eat the body of your companion first, and then slowly recover from the injuries.] The mantis said.

"Uh...eating corpses? Do you want to eat them?" Ouyang's eyes twitched crazily.

"..."
