Volume 1, Chapter 28: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, and the Oriole Stalks the Mantis

"Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that shrinking a thousand miles into a mere step is nothing special now? Are you... running a fever?" Lin Yuxi said, reaching out with the hand holding a chicken foot to touch my forehead, leaving a smear of grease across my brow.

A crisp, childish voice echoed in Ye Luo's sea of consciousness, sounding as if it came from the mouth of a three-year-old.

Yinyin is my confidante, and I desperately wanted to tell her everything I knew, but a thought firmly insisted that I must not do so.

"Swish." No sooner had Princess Linglong finished speaking than a thunderous, piercing sound erupted in the sky, a noise so immense it drowned out the wails of the countless vengeful spirits as they collided with the Seven-Colored Heaven-Slaying Rainbow.

Jiang Hua brought over a bundle of rope. Zuo Guo and I coiled one end beneath the existing line, handing the tail end to Ouyang Jianbin and the others to hold. Zuo Guo, still uneasy, joined them, though she insisted on holding only the line attached to me.

Therefore, Ye Chu had originally planned to let them breed in stages, allowing a portion of the Green Spirit Insects to continue producing Heavenly Spirit Powder while another portion began to propagate.

"If you keep acting so oblivious to the rules and truly provoke Young Master Haixi, I won't be able to help you..." Gu Yang said to Liu Qingming.

I truly could not believe that in such a short time since we last met, Captain Zhang and I were now separated by the veil of life and death. Deep down, I felt that while he might not have been a perfectly competent police officer, he was not a bad man, and he did not deserve such an end.

Regardless, if he did not use them, there was no telling when these Dark Demon soldiers of the Transformed Demon tribe might be slaughtered by the powerful wild beasts roaming these ancient ruins; it was better to put them to some practical use for their Blood-Sacrifice Demon tribe.

Once the ambush was set, Lian Haoyue ordered his soldiers to hold the valley exit, preparing to strike with ease against the trapped prey.

Wang Hen kept her eyes closed. The old woman, thinking she had fallen into a deep sleep, let out a long sigh and lay down beside her.

"What's wrong with asking? Why isn't there a sword on the list? Sigh... could it be that it hasn't even qualified for consideration?" Xuanyuan laughed and sighed.

Upon hearing this, the crowd felt as if they had been struck by a giant hammer. If even the Heaven Bead could not identify the poison, who else within the Beast Taming Sect would know of it?

Keba paused and looked at Luo Yan. Luo Yan’s expression remained resolute. Bu Yu tilted her head and walked past him, and Luo Yan followed suit.

Suddenly, a car sped by, but before she could react, it whizzed past her as if she were transparent.

What was happening? A sense of foreboding rose in Wang Sanlang's heart. Had they been ambushed?

Meng Zi walked over, excited to see Zhang Lijun. "Brother Long, I've had the brothers clear out the other side. Is this the only one left here?" Meng Zi gestured toward the motionless body of the third member of the suicide squad on the ground.

After the matter was settled, Zhang Lijun and Zhuang Na returned to the school. They had won the overall championship in the competition, and naturally, Zhang Lijun's prize money was guaranteed; Liu Baoshuang had already prepared it.

"It will happen," Xiuyuan patted his shoulder. For some reason, Bu Yu's sorrowful gaze from that morning flashed through his mind, and his heart skipped a beat.

He walked over slowly and stood beside the Spiritual Venerable, who seemed even more uncomfortable under Xiuyuan's gaze.

Seeing Long Yu launch another fireball, the high-level zombie, aware of its power, dared not take it head-on and dodged in a rather disheveled manner, not forgetting to let out a roar during the process.

"Some things are not yours to discard or retrieve just because you wish it!" Another sword aura coalesced before Xiang Tian, ready to fly toward Meng Heng.

"Are you deaf or dumb?" The Thousand-Faced Fox, seeing Xiang Tian ignoring her, was so agitated she started jumping up and down.

Yin'er's eyes widened, and just as she was about to plead for mercy, the Ling Family soldiers gagged her and dragged her away.

Having said this, Dao spat something out of his mouth and then leaped away from the scene, leaving a bewildered Long Yu standing in the wind.

"Beast Core Assimilation is a talent belonging exclusively to the Brave Wolf tribe. By devouring the inner core of a stronger member of the same tribe, one can inherit one hundred percent of the original owner's strength," Ming Yin appeared to explain.

There were countless places these days chasing after Wei Chongnian, begging for investment. If the old man got annoyed and just walked away, Yue Zhongyun would be left with nothing but a blank stare. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but swallow his pride and ask the question.

Those dozen or so Shadow Guards were no mere rabble; seeing Xiang Tian strike, they all countered with moves of their own.

Zhang Zheng looked at Wuli, who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Qi Ying, who was also kneeling, unable to make a decision. If only his master were here, he would surely know how to handle this.

Just then, the moment for the robot's parachute test had arrived. The helicopter pilot signaled Xu Xiaoting and Bliss that the rear hatch was opening and that they could proceed with the jump.

Having gained the recognition of the Demon Realm, his ambition swelled. Though he did not expect to match Wang Yu as the supreme ruler of the God Realm, he at least intended to become one of its actual power-brokers.

The innermost teleportation array was the one the teachers had repeatedly warned them not to approach. Everyone assumed there were no beast eggs inside, so no one went there.

Discussing the depravity of human nature with a human made the middle-aged man feel a sense of bitter irony and amusement.

"I can, I can, we can do it! Brother Jin, please give me this role, won't you?" Zhou Haimei grabbed Zhang Jin's arm and shook it vigorously.

The reason Zhou Yunmei had insisted on forcing Li Yuchun to marry Fang Pingying to Luo Zhiyong before agreeing to the marriage between Fang Xiu and Luo Zhiming was precisely because she had taken a liking to this quality in Fang Pingying.

When other women gave birth, whether rich or poor, they at least had a man by their side to lean on. She had no man, so naturally, she had to bear everything on her own.
