Chapter 153 The Mantis Monster Who Hijacked the Deal
She was worried that the city walls alone were not enough to defend against the soldiers, but now that she had the help of the fiery spirit, it seemed that she had a solution.
Led by the mischievous spirit, Zhao Taohua quickly found the hiding place of the fiery spirit.
It was attached to the back of a leaf, and you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.
It is covered in a bright green coat, with a row of blue spots on its back.
Its antennae at both ends and sides were covered with barbs, and Zhao Shengda was pricked by these barbs, which is why he ended up like that.
Zhao Taohua squatted down and looked at the little spicier spirit. This spicier spirit had only just transformed into a monster and had at most twenty years of cultivation.
This one alone is far from enough to enclose the entire city wall of Zhao Family Village. Moreover, it is a larva with weak cultivation, so it is probably of little use.
Just as Zhao Taohua was worrying, she looked up and saw that on the back of every leaf above her, there were many stinging insects.
Zhao Taohua's pupils dilated slightly, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
It turns out that they had all concealed their presence.
Just as Zhao Taohua was about to release her spiritual energy to create a spiritual energy bag to capture these spicy peppers and take them back to raise, a sharp sickle quietly appeared behind the tree trunk above her head!
The next moment, it took a step forward, and its entire body appeared. Zhao Taohua's pupils shrank: A mantis monster?
Its sickle-like serrations are as sharp as knives, and it instantly attacks the row of caterpillars on the leaves.
Its scythe-like forelimbs flashed through the air like lightning, and with a "snap," it precisely clamped down on the stinging caterpillars.
Despite their desperate struggles and frantic jabs stabbing at the mantis monster, its hard carapace remained unharmed!
It pressed the caterpillars against the tree trunks, quickly tore open their skins with its mouthparts full of sharp teeth, and greedily sucked the sap from their bodies.
Zhao Taohua frowned. These fiery foreign women were all the ones she wanted to take with her, but unexpectedly, she encountered someone who would intercept them.
How dare they mess with her fiery foreign devil?
These are all larvae. If you raise them well, they will have a bright future.
Zhao Taohua stared intently at the mantis monster above, and suddenly released a spiritual energy whip from her palm.
With a flick of his wrist, the white spiritual whip, like a venomous snake, lashed out at the mantis monster with a whooshing sound.
"!!!"
The mantis monster was shocked. Only then did it realize that there was another person under the tree.
It reacted extremely quickly, instantly raising its forelimbs to block.
With a loud "crack," sparks flew as the spiritual energy whip lashed its hard shell.
Just when it thought it was unharmed and didn't take Zhao Taohua, a village girl, seriously, it suddenly heard a cracking sound coming from its forelimb.
Looking down, I saw that its forelimb was broken.
"Ow—"
The mantis monster let out an incredulous and shrill scream.
Enraged, it leaped down from the tree and swung its other sickle at Zhao Taohua, as if to cleave her in two!
But to its utter surprise, Zhao Taohua's spiritual energy was so abundant that it quickly condensed into a ball, enveloping her entirely.
Its sickle couldn't cut it at all?
Its compound eyes were bloodshot, and it was both anxious and angry.
Just when it was at its wit's end with the hard white ball of spirit energy, a hand suddenly appeared from within, a flash of cold light, and a spirit energy blade pierced its compound eye.
The mantis monster trembled violently before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
The moment the spirit orb dissipated, the mantis had already breathed its last.
Zhao Taohua clicked her tongue, then ripped open the mantis monster's head and took out a three-hundred-year-old cultivation crystal.
A smile flashed in Zhao Taohua's eyes; she needed this exactly!
After collecting the crystal, she gathered all the caterpillars from the tree and finally filled a sack with them before returning home.
Shi and her son Zhao Shengda were still waiting at the same spot.
With Zhao Taohua's protection, Zhao Shengda was much better. However, as time went by, a large red patch appeared on the back of his neck, as if it had been scalded by boiling water.
"Peach Blossom, you're finally back! Did you find that fiery demon?"
When Shi saw Zhao Taohua, it was as if she had seen a savior.
Zhao Taohua nodded, and when she walked up to them, she put down the spiritual energy bag in her hand.
The moment she opened the bag, Shi and Zhao Lianhua and the others felt their scalps tingle!
so much?
Despite its bright color, everyone knows the dangers of citrus extract.
Seeing the bag full of chili extract, everyone was too scared to utter a sound.
Zhao Taohua released spiritual energy from her hands. Protected by this energy, she could catch the spiky demon as easily as catching peanuts.
She pinched the body of the stinging pepper and squeezed it against the back of Zhao Shengda's neck. The translucent green liquid dripped down, and Zhao Shengda immediately felt the burning sensation on the back of his neck subside a little.
It's cool and comfortable.
Zhao Taohua put the chili extract back into the bag and gently rubbed the green liquid into Zhao Shengda's wound.
"It feels so good, Mom, the pain is gone!"
Zhao Shengda was as happy as a child!
Shi breathed a sigh of relief, gave Zhao Tao money, and asked Zhao Shengda to thank the Zhao Tao and Zhao Lianhua sisters.
Seeing that Zhao Shengda was alright, Zhao Taohua reminded him:
“Aunt Shi, please don’t let Brother Shengda go up the mountain alone in the future. Although wolves don’t come down the mountain easily now, there are still many spirits in the mountains around our village.”
I just encountered a mantis monster on my way to find the fiery spirit. Its scythe was incredibly sharp.
Fortunately, this time when Shengda ran up the mountain, he encountered a stinging caterpillar spirit, not a mantis monster.
If it were a normal person, they would run away as soon as they encountered a spirit, but Zhao Shengda was an idiot, and he didn't know how to run away at all.
When he was injured, all he could do was squat down and cry.
"Auntie understands, thank you Peach Blossom."
Shi looked at her son, whom she loved to the core, and felt a slight worry in her heart.
Recently, she has been busy going to the village chief's house to cook for the workers on the mountain with others, and she is short one person to take care of Shengda.
Zhao Lianhua and Zhao Taohua went down the mountain together. Staring at the stinging caterpillars Zhao Taohua was carrying, she couldn't contain her curiosity and asked:
"Peach Blossom Sister, are you going to exterminate all these stinging caterpillars by catching so many?"
The sack was full, and Zhao Lianhua suspected that Zhao Taohua had caught all the stinging caterpillars from the mountain.
Zhao Taohua chuckled: "They're so sharp-stinging, why would I kill them? I want to raise them!"
"???"
Zhao Lianhua stared at her in disbelief, "Raising a foreign fiery devil?"
Following behind, Shi led Zhao Shengda slowly down the mountain. Seeing that the Zhao Lianhua sisters had already gone far away, she asked Zhao Shengda:
"Shengda, what do you think of Lotus?"
"The little sister who gave me candy earlier? Hmm... that's nice, the candy was delicious."
Zhao Shengda still has that piece of candy in his mouth!
Shi knew that talking to Zhao Shengda about romantic feelings between men and women would be pointless.
So she asked again, "Do you hate her?"
Zhao Shengda's eyes widened: "Mom, why would I hate her? She gave me candy, so I don't hate her at all!"
"How about she becomes your wife? She can stay by your side every day from now on, okay?"
From now on, besides your father, mother, and Shengjing, you'll also have her to play with, okay?
Mr. Shi asked tentatively.
