Should he juste again next time?
It was a much harder option than all the escape ns that he thought of. s, he did not even have milliseconds to think about it.
Therefore, after a new decision was made, he moved.
He did not go with the first option which seemed to be the best. He also discarded the second and third options.
Tang Ling dashed towards the chameleon ck-winged mantis.
For a fraction of a second, the ck-winged mantis was stunned. Since it had acquired a minimal level of self-consciousness, it did not expect its prey to react like this.
A typical prey would dodge, but why did this one dash forward instead?
So, when Tang Ling was dashing towards the center of the des, the ck-winged mantis was truly dumbfounded for less than a second before it narrowed its sharp des towards the center.
Did he have a death wish? He did not just race toward the mantis but toward the center of its des. Did he think that the mantis was not nimble enough to close its arms together?
No, Tang Ling did not think as such. He was actually frustrated at the location that he had chosen, the 13-meter spot in the narrow alley.
He approximately calcted the opening angle of the ck-winged mantis des. Due to the limited width of the alley and the obstacles above it, there was a high chance that the mantis would sh downward.
If the ck-winged mantis really shed downward, he could seize the chance that he predicted earlier.
However, in order to add more insurance to his n, Tang Ling chose to head deeper into the alley and stopped at the 13th meter. The particr spot was the narrowest and had two iron rods that sprung out from both sides of the wall.
The front arms of the ck-winged mantis were powerful. While the two iron rods that had flowed through the river of time would not be much of a hindrance to it, it would be able to slow it down a little, hence granting himself more time.
Combined with the limited space in the narrow alley, its front arms could not have been that agile to switch angles such as swinging one of its des diagonally at him.
His calctions should be correct, but unfortunately, he still underestimated the ck-winged mantis’s rage and urge to kill him. Plus, he was not particrly familiar with the ck-winged mantis’s front arms, hence he made a mistake.
The ck-winged mantis did not go with its most familiar attack which involved a forward extend and downward sh. Instead, it slightly twisted its des inwards, stiffened up, andunched forward to sting instead of shing to avoid the iron rods on the wall.
The sting should not be a calcted result because it was impossible for the ck-winged mantis to judge its attack to this extent, but it should be an instinctive act driven by rage. To it, this was the best and most straightforward option to kill Tang Ling.
Therefore, Tang Ling had to pay for his mistake if he did not want to give up.
He turned his body sideways and slid forward by 0.3 meters in between the sharp des. It looked like he had stuffed himself in between a pair of scissors.
Two straight cuts split his battle uniform as he slid past the des.
He also suffered cuts on his abdomen and back. He started to bleed, but thankfully the contact with the des were short and quick. As a result, the cuts were not deep since they were just flesh wounds.
Nevertheless, Tang Ling neglected his injuries because he could hear the wind whistling in his ears because of the extreme speed.
The ck-winged mantis tightened its front arms rapidly, and it could cut Tang Ling in half in an instant.
Although Tang Ling was unusually calm, the excitement in him erupted like a volcano! What else was more exciting than fighting on the verge of death with all his might?
He lowered his head, bent forward, and raised his fist for an uppercut. The series of actions werepleted in an instant, and he had to thank the dullish humane reaction of the ck-winged mantis to be able to pull such a trick off.
He did not hold back his uppercut as his punch powerfullynded on one of the mantis’s front arms.
His maximum punching force could reach 1,300 kgs, and although it might not be enough to break the ck-winged mantis’s front arm or even leave a scratch, his powerful uppercut forcefully deviated the des away from him for a moment.
Tang Ling immediately followed the deviated front arm movement, and barely dodged the other front arm that slid right above his head. The de on the arm grazed him and cut a lock of his hair.
Without giving a damn, he quickly pushed himself backward and dodged the reactive attack from the front arm that he followed.
He then safelynded!
The ck-winged mantis furiously raised its wings, quickly twisting its front arms and finally performing a sh at Tang Ling.
Since the ck-winged mantis had missed the only chance to kill him, it granted him the only chance to win.
The iron rods on both sides of the wall finally came into y. The rods slightly dyed the ck-winged mantis’s des and allowed Tang Ling to quickly adjust his body to push himself forward using his arms on the ground. He slid toward the bottom of the ck-winged mantis’ abdomen.
At the same time, the knife, which he buckled onto his sleeve, that wasced with the giant numbing spider’s venom appeared in his hand.
When he was beneath the ck-winged mantis’s abdomen, he stabbed the knife into the softest part without a second thought. He tugged it downwards with all his might. Green blood mixed together with organs spewed out from the opening and sshed everywhere.
After Tang Ling slid over the ck-winged mantis’s abdomen, he stood up, jumped towards a tree branch and pulled himself upward.
Tang Ling had no idea when the numbing effect woulde into y or how severely it would numb the ck-winged mantis, but the 1.8-meter mantis would have a hard time turning around in this narrow alley.
Moreover, it had suffered a cut on its abdomen, so it was impossible for it to fly away before the numbing effect kicked in. In addition to that, the upper path of the alley was sealed off by branches and bushes.
Now, the ce he had chosen to fight the ck-winged mantis became the ideal location for a fight or flight situation, so it was considered absolutely safe for him.
If the ck-winged mantis chose to retreat backward, he could simply jump on it. Its front arms and sharp wings were unable to attack him on its back.
However, it seemed like Tang Ling had over considered the matter.
The numbing venom of the giant numbing spider might not be lethal, but it was quick when the effect came into y.
After almost the whole abdomen was sliced apart, the venom swiftly robbed half of the ck-winged mantis’s capability to continue the fight.
It was not smart enough to retreat right away, so it instinctively struggled and tried to fly or jump, but here, where Tang Ling had precisely calcted every detail, even if it was in its prime, it was not easy for it to merely fly away.
Its struggle hastened the effect of the venom. In less than 5 seconds, it waspletely tranquilized and had fallen.
Tang Ling jumped down. He carefully poked the ck-winged mantis a few times to make sure the venom was in full effect before he heaved a sigh of relief.
The pain of his abdomen and back finally stung him, and it made him gasp in pain.
Nevertheless, soon enough, joy filled his heart.
He had finally uncovered a secret path to sneak into the battlefield.
On top of that, he should be able to salvage some edible parts from the Level 3 mutated insect. Although the ck-winged mantis was uparable to a Level 3 mutated beast, it was definitely stronger than a king beast. However, Tang Ling did not know what the effect of consuming it would be, so he wanted to test it out.
Other than that, there was something that Tang Ling was curious about for a long time. Would he be able to find his answer in the chameleon ck-winged mantis?
