after advancing to the middle stage of the mature form, the skill “rushing thunder slash” naturally had a small increase.

it had extended to six meters and was gradually exceeding its own length.

bai wushang had once jokingly predicted that if xiao ci continued to evolve, would she one day hold a forty-meter-long machete, allow the enemy to run thirty-nine meters first, and then kill them in one hit?

this was a bit of a wild imagination, but it didn’t seem completely fake.

in the light of his eyes, the lightning blade danced. the swift-toothed winged bird tried to use its small size to its advantage and quickly dodged.

however, as xiao ci’s strongest attack at this stage, combined with the flash of lightning and bai wushang’s prediction of the situation …

even if the green light was attached to his body and the talisman of five times the speed of wind had not lost its effect, the mohawk could not completely avoid it.

his right wing was grazed slightly, and his white feathers dyed a palm-sized area red, which was not very eye-catching.

the appraisal given by the eye of cognition just happened to be ” minor injury, ” which was not a big deal on the whole.

however, the lightning blade mantis did not only rely on its “sharpness.”

in essence, its elemental power was more important than the blade, and it was also more difficult to deal with.

this high concentration and purity of the power of lightning gave xiao ci an additional power that could suppress ordinary flesh and blood.

invisibly, it could allow its lethality to be as equal as a peak mature and 2-star elite swift-toothed winged bird.

therefore, when the purple electric arc cut through the white wings, it had already seeped through the wings.

only a little blood came out, but it quickly turned black under the corrosion of the sizzling lightning.

in the status column, there were additional ” slight paralysis ” and ” slight burn “.

even this level of negative state was better than nothing, and it could not determine the outcome.

however, as long as it was not obliterated or removed, it would exert a lasting effect.

even as the battle situation escalated, the power of lightning that invaded his body stacked up again and again, and eventually became more intense, making it impossible to guard against.

as a matter of fact, he saw that the swift-toothed winged bird had suffered some injuries in the first exchange.

mohawk’s brows were tightly locked, and his expression was stern.

previously, he was unable to accurately determine the strength of the other party due to the chase and escape.

in particular, there was very little information on ancient species such as the lightning blade mantis on the market, and there was a serious lack of data in all aspects.

if it wasn’t for the fact that sun rou had more knowledge, he might not even be able to identify the species.

however, even if jie was present, he could not accurately estimate the other party’s life level based on its body shape, color, and posture.

only the bloodline level was close to the mark. a small probability of 4 stars in the elite grade, a large probability of 5 stars in the elite grade. in any case, it was somewhere in the upper grade range.

however, now was the time to fight.

mohawk didn’t need to spend so much effort to measure his strength by observing his appearance.

he had been a master for 20 to 30 years, and although he didn’t have a lot of combat experience, his basic skills were quite solid.

after some calculations in his mind, he estimated that the other party’s strength was not weak. he should be in the middle stage of the mature stage.

it was only because of the quality of its bloodline and the power of lightning that the gap between them was closed. overall, it was a little weaker than the swift-toothed winged bird.

” heh … ” the mohawk sneered.

then, he raised his right hand and secretly controlled the flow of his soul power. he muttered to himself, ” “secret technique, wind winding!”

a light blue ball of energy, from the size of a fist, gradually diluted, and finally completely protected the swift-toothed winged bird.

this was a defensive secret skill. any move that was aimed at the body had a small probability of deviation and could not hit accurately.

mohawk knew that from a tactical point of view, stalling the lightning blade mantis and causing its lightning power to quickly deplete until it was weak was the most ideal choice.

however, he still remembered xiao jie’s warning. the other party was a genius master and had a hidden blood inheritance talent.

now that he had inexplicably lured them into this stinky cave, there must be a hidden plan.

i can’t let my guard down!

therefore, while keeping his guard up, lin yong used as much firepower as possible and fought with all his might.

he used two secret skills in succession to strengthen the defenses and strength of the swift-toothed winged bird, allowing it to reach its peak state.

in this way, the gap between the two sides was further widened.

in addition, his teammates, the man-headed spider, sun rou, shadow leopard, and poison-thorn toad, were not idle either.

whenever they had the chance to get rid of the stinky creatures, they would try their best to attack the lightning blade mantis.

the man-headed spider’s tough spider silk and web shot were both short to medium range skills. as long as he climbed high enough, he could also cause a lot of trouble to bai wushang.

the venomous sting toads were even more impressive. they either shot out single giant venomous stingers or hundreds of small venomous stingers.

no matter how fast xiao ci’s speed was, she was still hit several times.

it was all thanks to the little rabbit’s quick treatment that the poison did not enter his body.

of course, the most troublesome ones were the plump woman and the shadow leopard.

the latter couldn’t fly, but with the help of some secret technique, he was as light as a swallow.

he actually used the rock wall to run around repeatedly, repeatedly using skills like ” gale burst “, ” wind blade “, ” shadow clone “, and ” fivefold claw tear “.

if bai wushang didn’t have the perception of space given by the god of food’s talent, frozen storage, he would have been attacked by this natural assassin-type creature and would have been seriously injured.

“thunderbolt …”

after fighting for three minutes, xiao ci’s condition was getting worse and worse, and the cooperation between the two humans and four beasts was getting better and better.

this was a 1v4 in a semi-enclosed area. for bai wushang and the lightning blade mantis to be able to hold on for three minutes, they had already exhausted all their energy and skills.

on the other side, as ” hunters “, lin yong and sun rou looked calm, but their hearts were in turmoil.

this kid had jumped left and right in the cracks, who knew how many times he had put himself in a dangerous situation and escaped danger.

there were few mistakes in the various connection operations, and it was almost perfect. it was simply a textbook-level actual combat demonstration.

how could they not be shocked? how could he not be afraid?

due to the short period of contact, they could not tell that this was one of the abilities given by the bloodline talent.

as long as it wasn’t an overly exaggerated and outrageous crushing sneak attack, bai wushang would be able to sense it in advance and then react.

therefore, even though he was mentally and physically exhausted and in a sorry state …

however, he had successfully dodged and escaped again and again. in the eyes of mohawk and the plump beautiful woman, he was truly shocked.

it was all because of the high tacit understanding between bai wushang and his pet, as well as the lightning blade mantis’s strong combat instincts and talent.

that little rabbit was also very amazing. it was the first time he had seen a healing light beam as thick as a thigh!

“phew … i think it’s almost time …”

bai wushang’s heart was pounding, and all the muscles in his body were tense. he was in a state of high tension.

he glanced over and saw that the swift-fanged bird’s injuries and paralysis had all been reduced to ‘mild’.

this was already the limit of what he could do in such a short time.

more importantly, the green light that was wrapped around his body had disappeared, and his speed had been reduced by more than half.

although xiao ci was in a worse state, with her electricity remaining at 21% and her physical strength reduced by half, she couldn’t exert her full speed at all.

however, as long as he had that item, the initiative would always be in his hands!

the extraordinary delicacy, the stinky herring!
