Chapter 190 - Steel Mantis
Chapter 190 Steel Mantis
Following the mechanical notification, Li Xuan’s dark world once again welcomed light.
“Resurrected again.”
Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes. What entered his vision was a slightly dim cave. The rocks in the cave were strangely shaped. Some of the stone people had fungi growing on them.
The environment of the cave was slightly damp. There was a small pool near the stone wall. Clear spring water flowed out from the small pool. Clearly, there was a small spring here.
Li Xuan lowered his head and saw that there was a thick layer of dry grass under his feet. He felt very soft and comfortable. However, when he saw his white limbs, Li Xuan frowned.
“It seems to have become a mantis? However, why is the body white? Moreover, I feel that the body is very weak.”
Li Xuan closed his eyes silently and began to search through the memories of this body. Very soon, he opened his eyes and revealed an incredulous expression.
“A Bronze Rank White Mantis? It can actually consume Soul Power and create three mantis puppets without emotions or souls?”
Li Xuan’s expression became very serious because the creature that had reincarnated this time was somewhat special.
The White Mantis was not very strong. Its main body’s movement speed was very slow, its strength was weak, and its defense was weak. It could be said to be an extremely fragile Summoned Beast.
However, this Summoned Beast had a special ability, which was to create three robot-like mantis puppets. The level of the mantis puppets created could reach the Mid-Level Black Iron Rank.
The mantis puppets only had a simple consciousness. The core principle was to protect the rights and interests of the creator and protect the safety of the creator.
The creator could destroy the three mantis puppets with a thought, and he could also create them again.
When the creator created the mantis puppets, it could copy three of its skills to the mantis puppets.
However, the skill to copy had to be suitable for the mantis puppets. Otherwise, it would not be able to create the mantis puppets successfully.
“This skill suits me very well. I have many skills. If I were to give three Transcendent Level Skills to the mantis puppets, that would be amazing.”
Li Xuan’s eyes sparkled. He was prepared to try creating three mantis puppets.
With deep anticipation, Li Xuan activated the Mantis Puppet Creation Skill while also trying to infuse them with skills.
Following the consumption of a large amount of Soul Power, Li Xuan began to try one by one. First, he tried to duplicate his own Transcendent Monsterous Strength, but unfortunately, he failed.
Li Xuan continued to test, testing all of his abilities. In the end, he chose the Steel Body, Self-Destruct, and Battle Instinct.
A few minutes later, Li Xuan slowly created three mantises, the steel mantises that were emitting a cold aura.
Looking at the awe-inspiring steel mantises, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, “Not bad, you guys fight each other. Let me see your combat strength.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Clink, clank, clink, clank!
A series of sparks suddenly flew. The three mantises’ figures flashed quickly and began an intense battle.
As the battle continued, the three mantises were like killing machines, madly fighting.
The sharp broadsword carried a cold glint as it swept past from time to time, attacking each other’s vital points.
Just like that.
The three mantises attacked each other with all their might. The fierce battle scene was quite interesting, but it was a pity that they were too weak.
The strength of a Mid-Level Black Iron Rank was still not enough in front of Li Xuan. Even if they had obtained the three Transcendent Level Skills that Li Xuan had duplicated, they were still too weak, unless they used the Self-Destruct Skill.
“Alright, you can stop now.” Li Xuan shook his head. He felt that the steel mantis could only be used as a self-destructing truck. Other than that, it was not of much use.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Following Li Xuan’s order, the three mantises instantly stopped and stood in place like robots.
“They are very obedient.”
Li Xuan looked at the skill introduction again. When he saw that the core principle was to protect the rights and interests of the creator and protect the safety of the creator, Li Xuan wanted to test them again.
“From now on, you guys will be called No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.”
Li Xuan pointed at the three steel mantises one by one and then said, “From now on, you guys are free to move around.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Steel mantises No. 2 and No. 3 rushed to the exit of the cave like lightning and disappeared in a moment.
In the end, less than ten seconds after they rushed out, the panicked cries of bears and screams of pain could be heard from outside.
Inside the cave, steel mantis No. 1 stood quietly like a guard protecting Li Xuan’s safety. He did not leave Li Xuan’s side.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Steel mantis No. 2 and No. 3 returned. They carried a dead bear and rushed in to put it down. Then, they rushed out of the cave again.
The remaining Mantis No. 1 walked in front of the dead bear. He quickly waved his mantis broadsword and kept cutting the dead bear.
Soon, the most tender bear meat was cut out and started to be washed, divided, and stored.
Li Xuan was stunned by this scene. It felt like a dream.
“Interesting. Although their strength isn’t good, their strength is not bad as a servant.”
Thinking of this, Li Xuan released a fireball at the wood not far away. In an instant, the wood started to burn.
Whoosh!
Steel mantis No. 1, which was storing food, suddenly rushed toward the wood and quickly moved the wood further away to prevent the fire from burning Li Xuan.
Then, the steel mantis cleaned its large knives and quickly cut the bear meat into small pieces. After using the large knife to cut through it, it stood next to the fire and began to roast.
This scene also made Li Xuan watch with curiosity. He was looking forward to what kind of bear meat No. 1 could roast.
As time passed, the rich aroma of meat began to permeate the air. Li Xuan was salivating.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The steel mantises No. 2 and No. 3 quickly ran back with many things. Some of them were large lotus leaves that had been cleaned.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The aroma of roasted meat filled the air. Soon, the roasted meat was ready. The steel mantis No. 1 wrapped it in lotus leaves and carefully placed it in front of Li Xuan. Then, the steel mantis No. 1 went back to work.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
No. 2 and No. 3 rushed out again. Not long after, a stone bucket used to store food was carried back.
After doing all this, the No. 2 and No. 3 set off again. They hurriedly ran far away.
Li Xuan looked at the busy steel mantis. He felt that he had created three servants, and they were very considerate. They did not need to be commanded to complete the task.
“They should be influenced by my subconscious at all times and know what to do and what not to do. Moreover, I can kill them with just a thought.”
Li Xuan was very satisfied with his creation this time. Although they were a little weak, they were enough to be servants.
Therefore, Li Xuan prepared to test them while tasting the roasted meat.
Time passed little by little.
No. 2 and No. 3 wandered around, eliminating all threats. At the same time, they turned their heads to look at the huge Ash Wolf Valley.
This was the residence of the original owner of the Ash Wolf Area, the Ash Wolf. Since it was deprived of its power, it must be unhappy.
No. 2 and No. 3 began to run wildly, rushing straight toward the Ash Wolf Valley.
They were ready to see if theAsh Wolf had any resentment. If it did, they would kill it.
In theAsh Wolf Valley.
A huge snow-white wolf stood quietly in the valley, its wise eyes looking at the sky. The powerful aura of the Wolf King was released wantonly.
“Ash Wolf King, you are no longer the leader of this place. There is no place for you here anymore. Do you want to submit to the new leader?” A parrot said loudly.
“Submit?”
The Ash Wolf King spoke in human language, and powerful Spiritual Power undulated around its body. “You want me to submit him without him defeating me? Rule the Ash Wolf Area? What a joke…”
“Just wait, I will break through to Silver Rank soon. When that time comes, I will definitely become the king of this place again. No one can expect me to submit!”
The Ash Wolf King spoke proudly, and the aura around him became more and more terrifying, causing the surrounding Summoned Beasts to shiver.
