Chapter 108: The Golden Mantis
"Hey~! Ji Luo, your answer is really uninteresting~"
Mu Yanyu made a face, put her hands on Ji Luo's shoulders, and fell to the ground elegantly.
"The reason why I don't let you run is because... there is no use running. You will die no matter which direction you go."
"What kind of monster is it? Did it kill everyone here?"
Ji Luo frowned, looking at the blood and corpses on the ground, he felt like vomiting, but he reluctantly held back.
"Ah. It's a rare wild beast. To put it simply, it's a big mantis that likes to eat people and...gold."
"gold?"
Ji Luo has never seen a creature that can eat gold, but Mu Yanyu's words almost instantly solved Ji Luo's previous doubts.
No wonder, the Huatang Chamber of Commerce wants to buy gold, no wonder - they will transport gold here.
"Haha~ It's interesting, the mantis eats gold, but if you knew the reason why it eats gold, you wouldn't find it funny."
Although Mu Yanyu was smiling at this time, her face was actually very ugly. It was obvious that she already knew what was going on.
"The golden mantis is a IV silver-level desolate beast. It is ferocious in nature and loves to eat people. Its two blade arms are extremely sharp and it is extremely fast. It can catch prey in an instant."
"I think you should have heard about the habits of mantises. After mating with a male mantis, the female mantis usually eats her mate in order to obtain rich nutrition and lay more eggs."
"The golden mantis will not only eat the male mantis, but also eat a large amount of gold. This can greatly increase the number of eggs laid and the number of offspring produced. Gold is worth 30 million, some people are really ruthless
, don’t care about money at all.”
Mu Yanyu didn't know what was going on before, but it wasn't until she saw the tragic situation in front of her, looking at the various weapons and human wounds, that she determined the initiator of all this.
"Mu Yanyu, that is to say, what we are about to face is a golden mantis that has just laid eggs? It is not wild, but... raised by humans?"
"It's basically certain that this is the case. But right now, what we have to face should be an immeasurable number of cubs. Don't forget, the location of gold is not here, but another base. I estimate that Xi Xinjue is the most
The place I wanted to take us to at the beginning was the feeding place for the golden mantis."
"You mean... this is the place where eggs are laid? Then these people actually died at the hands of Naojin Mantis cubs. Why?"
Ji Luo can understand the overall plan of some people. They raise a large number of Naojin Mantis babies in the area to be built, and release them into the city when necessary, causing huge chaos and death to provide cover for their other purposes.
But this place, according to Xi Xinjue's previous call, should be the third area in the plan, their backup hidden base. Why... will these people die here, or will they be killed by the monster cubs they raised?
"Ji Luo, tell me...what if these are all links in the plan?"
Mu Yanyu didn't seem to intend to take Ji Luo out of here. She pulled Ji Luo to a ventilated hole and sat down against the wall.
"Suppose that the Naojin Mantis has finished laying eggs here. The first thing for the personnel here is to take care of the fragile young, and the second... is to prevent the plan from being leaked, and they must all die here.
"You see...it only takes a little sleeping potion to turn these people into lambs to be slaughtered. Then, the young golden mantis kills them, eating the most delicious heads first, and then piles the remaining parts here
, as storage grain."
"After all these 'food' are eaten up, the cubs will be almost grown and can be released to contribute to a certain plan. But before that, we only need to seal a few exits of the cave and keep an eye on them.
, no living thing can get out, and naturally the truth will not be exposed."
Mu Yanyu couldn't be sure of the real situation, but after thinking about the causes and consequences, she felt that this was the most likely possibility. Collaborators like Xi Xinjue can indeed add chips to the plan by providing money and effort, but people like Xi Xinjue are also easy to betray. Once they betray
, that is also a huge trouble.
"Mu Yanyu, so you think... Xi Xinjue's accomplices in the 11th Bureau Company actually felt that the situation had collapsed and the original plan could no longer be implemented. But in order not to expose more, they deceived Xi Xinjue and let Xi Xinjue run away.
Coming here is actually to silence me?"
Ji Luo had never thought that things would be so complicated and dark. He rubbed his temples and felt like he had a headache thinking about it.
"The possibility is very high. Before Xi Xinjue took us into the cave, I felt that there were people ambushing around me. There were quite a few of them, and their ranks were also high."
"Ah... Mu Yanyu, that is to say, in this cave now, there should be no golden mantis of IV silver level, there are just a lot of cubs. Facing these little mantises that have only been born for a long time, we should
Can we fight our way out~Wait a minute! There are still people ambushing us outside. Even if we run out, we will be attacked by those who are ambushing and watching us."
After Ji Luo figured out the situation, he felt a little better. A bunch of mantis babies that had just crawled out of the eggs should... not be that difficult to deal with.
"No, the Eleventh Bureau has already taken action. The base will definitely be destroyed, but that golden mantis may not be exposed. They may have already sealed off the area to be built.
The golden mantis that had just laid eggs secretly evacuated the base and hid here instead!"
"Ah? What should we do? The cave is full of little praying mantises. There are only a few exits and a team of people are stationed there. The IV silver-level gold mantis will come back later. What should we... do?"
Ji Luo scratched his head, feeling really helpless about the current situation. The only way he could think of was to transform into the original plan state, expose his secret to Mu Yanyu, and then fight his way out.
"Ji Luo, you still haven't understood the real murderer behind all this."
"The murderer behind the scenes?"
"It is said that the second of the [Thirty-Seven Open Flames] in the Dark Industry Fire: Yue Minghuo·Ling Xing Gu Ku, has a gold mantis pet at the peak of the IV Silver level. I guess... it is probably this one!"
"Ah? It's Dark Industry Fire again? The second place among the Thirty-seven Ming Huo, is he... better than the third place Kong Ming Huo Lu Ci?"
"Of course!"
"Is he also a VI gold level warrior?"
"Absolutely! It is said that she has been at the peak of the VI gold level for decades. Kong Minghuo Lu Ci has fought with her many times, but has never won!"
