Chapter 11.4

The group used the density of the trees to find a river, because they remembered the previous coordinates, they still knew the general direction, so they followed the river towards the direction of the coordinates. As the planet's mineral reserves were very rich, the Lennon Empire arranged a lot of satellites over it for detection and monitoring. The army was able to observe Zerg movements by satellite at any time and exterminate them.

But this convenience had been blocked by the school, they needed the best students, ones able to survive no matter how bad the environment. Only strict requirements from the beginning could ensure that they could survive and win on the real battlefield.

Now, the candidates' personal terminals only had the contact function, all the other keys were grayed out.

"Wait a minute, three magic flower praying mantises approaching at two o'clock, please prepare." Zhou Yun Sheng took out his particle gun and stood in a ready stance.

The team immediately formed a battle formation, but after waiting for half a minute, they did not see any movement and looked toward Darren. It's common knowledge that the magic flower mantis was very fast, almost comparable to the performance of the best airship, once you detected it by spiritual power, it would appear in front of you the next second.

"My spiritual power doesn't detect any danger. Cecil, are you too nervous?" Darren was about to pat the boy's shoulder when he saw him jump up a nearby tree and aim his particle gun to the front. Soon, Darren sensed three large objects quickly approaching the team, and in the blink of an eye they were in close proximity.

"Crap, there really are magic flower mantises!" Darren's spiritual power could only detect danger, he couldn't clearly detect the species, but the speed should belong to the magic flower mantis, because they were really too fast.

After waiting for half a minute, the team's formation had begun to slack, it was too late to even lift up their particles guns before three six meter long magic flower mantises appeared before them, flapping their wings up in the sky. They wielded huge sickle-shaped forelimbs which could cut down the trees that hindered their progress, and they habitually attacked humans on sight.

They were not poisonous, but their exoskeleton was very tough, they could withstand even the particle cannons, forget about the particle guns. They were so fast that they could harvest your head in the blink of an eye, a very difficult Zerg to deal with.

The team rolled to the rocks by the river bank for coverage and ran, escaping. The place where they had been standing was split into a huge pit by a magic flower mantis' forelimb, the pit was cut very smoothly, the sharpness of its forelimbs on display.

They had strength, speed, lethality, and defense, one could kill a team of seven or eight people, let alone three.

Darren aimed at the magic flower mantises and shot, secretly cursing their bad luck.

The projectile hit the forelimbs of a magic flower mantis and made a burst of noise, but it only took a small step back in reaction. The other two moved left and right to the rocks, outflanking the humans behind it.

Everyone tried to target their most vulnerable part, the head, but they blocked it with their huge forelimbs. They knew where their own weaknesses were, and in the course of reproducing generation after generation, they'd passed on this alertness to the new generation, so no matter when or where they were, they would instinctually use their forelimbs to block their weakness.

Zhou Yun Sheng stood on a treetop branch, wrapping himself in his spiritual power so the magic flower mantises wouldn't detect his presence. He raised his particle gun and aimed at them, but he didn't fire for half a day.
