Facing the scorpion's sudden attack, the blood mantis seemed to be a little disdainful. One of its blade-like legs swung down and hit the black scorpion's head first. The powerful force caused the black scorpion's body to sway and it couldn't help but take a step back. Naturally, its two pincers missed.
Hiss hiss ~
The blood mantis lightly flapped its wings twice, like a peacock spreading its tail. However, this action was a provocation and a demonstration of its disdain towards the black scorpion.
Qin Lang also knew that the blood mantis was actually being merciful. Perhaps it hadn't met a worthy opponent for a long time, so it wasn't in a hurry to kill this black scorpion. Instead, it wanted to use this black scorpion as practice.
After being hit by the blood mantis, the black scorpion was naturally furious. It temporarily took two steps back, but seeing that the blood mantis still didn't move, it approached the blood mantis again. However, this time, the black scorpion was even more careful. It almost stopped after every step it took. When it was only two to three centimeters away from the blood mantis, the black scorpion attacked again! Its two pincers pierced towards the blood mantis's head and chest!
Fast! Ruthless!
The blood mantis was still very arrogant. Once again, one of its blade-like legs reached out and hit the black scorpion's head. Seeing that the black scorpion was about to be hit, it suddenly swept its tail and actually blocked the blood mantis' blade-like leg. Then, the stinger on its tail ferociously pierced towards the blood mantis's head!
Scorpion Tail Whip!
At this moment, Qin Lang was very focused and accurately grasped the black scorpion's "ultimate move". Qin Lang had long heard of the power of the scorpion's tail whip, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. Therefore, it left a particularly deep and shocking impression on him.
The black scorpion's move caused the blood mantis to panic slightly. It hurriedly used one of its blade-like legs to block the black scorpion's tail, while its other blade-like leg parried the black scorpion's pincers.
Seeing that its "ultimate move" had failed, the black scorpion finally realized that the red praying mantis in front of it was not an ordinary red praying mantis. Therefore, it thought of retreating. However, when the black scorpion retreated, the blood mantis pounced forward. Its two blade-like legs shot out at lightning speed and clamped down on the black scorpion's head and tail. Then, it exerted force —
Pa! Pa!
Accompanied by two crisp sounds, under Qin Lang's astonished and regretful gaze, the black scorpion's body was cut into three parts!
The praying mantis's blade-like legs were extremely sharp, and the blood mantis was a mutated insect. Furthermore, it had eaten a lot of "insect food" recently, which further stimulated its venom and strength. Therefore, it was a piece of cake for it to slice a scorpion in half.
However, this black scorpion was quite impressive. After its tail was chopped off, it was still trembling madly, as if it wanted to give its opponent a fatal counterattack before it died!
However, the blood mantis was extremely powerful. Even though this black scorpion was powerful, it still became its food.
Although Qin Lang felt a little pity for Black Scorpion, the law of the jungle had always been the supreme law of this world.
Just as the blood mantis was eating the scorpion's corpse, Qin Lang's mind kept replaying the scorpion's crawling and attacking posture, carefully comprehending the mysteries behind it.
After a while, both of Qin Lang's feet and palms were on the ground. He wanted to crawl like a scorpion, but it did not feel very smooth. This seemed to be because a scorpion had a few more legs than a human. Qin Lang was still a little unwilling to give up, so he leaped onto a tree with a severely slanted trunk. At this moment, Qin Lang discovered something interesting:
Crawling on the slanted trunk in the form of a scorpion seemed to be much more stable!
Of course, this was not only due to the black scorpion's efforts, but also to the Dragon Subduing Stance. This was because crawling on a slanted trunk not only required skill and strength, but also the most important thing — balance.
And the Dragon Subduing Stance was a good thing that allowed precise control of strength and balance. Now, as Qin Lang's martial arts cultivation increased day by day, he gradually understood the old poison's good intentions in letting him practice the Dragon Subduing Stance. At first, Qin Lang thought that the Dragon Subduing Stance was just a simple horse stance and physical strength training. Only now did Qin Lang gradually understand the mysteries behind it.
The combination of the "Scorpion Technique" and the Dragon Subduing Stance allowed Qin Lang to quickly crawl on the slanted trunk like the wind. Qin Lang even discovered that if he continued to practice, not only could he crawl freely on the slanted trunk, but he could also climb up and down, just like a scorpion, crawling vertically upside down.
Crawling vertically upside down sounded a little silly, but in fact, there was a hidden mystery. This was because when a scorpion crawled upside down, it could see its prey or opponent at any time and could react quickly. Furthermore, when it encountered danger, it could also look down from above and take the geographical advantage. And if it slid down with its head facing up, it naturally wouldn't be able to detect the danger coming from the west.
No wonder the old poison respected the "Scorpion Crawling Upside Down" movement technique so much. It probably wasn't just because the scorpion was one of the poisonous creatures, so it suited the old poison's taste.
What was even more interesting was that when Qin Lang practiced the "Scorpion Crawling Upside Down" movement technique, the blood mantis also practiced with Qin Lang. It continuously made attacking movements to test whether there was any problem with Qin Lang's movement technique.
After the human and the insect practiced for a while, Qin Lang's movement technique naturally became more and more adept.
Furthermore, if he had the assistance of suitable tools, Qin Lang could even crawl upside down like a scorpion.
The morning passed very quickly. It wasn't until the bell signaling the end of the morning self-study period rang that Qin Lang realized that he had been practicing for a long time. However, he still wanted to continue and didn't plan to leave. This was because he still had one "ultimate" move that he hadn't learned: the "Scorpion Tail Whip" that amazed Qin Lang.
People who didn't understand scorpions' habits would always think that the scorpion's most powerful weapon was its two pincers. However, that wasn't the case. The scorpion's most powerful weapon was the sting on its tail. Even when a scorpion hunted for food, its pincers were also an auxiliary tool. Once the pincers caught the prey, the sting on its tail would launch a fatal attack and inject poison into the prey's body.
The arrogant black scorpion from before was actually not on the same level as the blood mantis. However, its ultimate move, "Scorpion Tail Whip", was able to force the blood mantis to temporarily dodge its attack. This was enough to explain the problem.
However, Qin Lang didn't have a tail. How was he going to whip his "tail"?
Of course, Qin Lang wasn't a stupid person. He had a rich imagination. He knew that many martial artists created martial arts like the Eagle Claw Technique or the Tiger Crane Duo. They didn't have wings or sharp claws, but they could use their hands to replace the wings and claws.
Similarly, Qin Lang didn't have a tail or a poisonous sting. However, he could find something to replace it with:
Legs!
In the Northern Kick Kung Fu, there was a saying: "The hands are the two doors, and the legs are the only way to beat people." The Mantis Blade Fist was mainly based on the hands. Although it was sharp and powerful, it would naturally be even more perfect if it was complemented by leg techniques.
It wasn't until noon that Qin Lang had mastered the "Scorpion Tail Whip" move. Only then did he return to school.
