The trees in the jungle in front of them shook, then a huge creature drilled its head out. It's a praying mantis, but this praying mantis is too big, more than 5 meters long.
After it appeared, it raised its head slightly. The height of its head is much higher than Lee Sheng's group, so Lee Sheng can only look up at the giant insect in front of them.
"It's a mutant black praying mantis!"
After Henry saw the appearance of this creature, he immediately shouted. Beside him, two soldiers stepped forward, quickly raised their guns and fired two shots at the mantis in front of them.
The huge praying mantis had just stuck its head out, but before it could decide whether to attack or escape, two bullets flew towards its face. Although the mantis's head is hard, it was still penetrated by the bullets.
"Let's get out of here quickly."
Henry glanced at the Praying Mantis that was twitching on the ground, then said to everyone, then carefully walked past the body of the Praying Mantis and walked forward.
The smell emitted by the mantis monster might attract some predators to this place.
Lee Sheng followed behind Henry. He is even more puzzled about the Forbidden Land. Mutant black praying mantises exist in the Old Land, and they're very common.
The strength of this mantis is roughly the same as the mantis in the Old Land.
"It can't even defend against ordinary bullets."
Looking at the corpse of the mantis, Lee Sheng couldn't help but shake his head.
However, even if he uses ordinary bullets, it's actually different from the previous ones. The penetrating power of bullets is much stronger.
The group continued to move forward, but just when everyone was about to let down their guard, the mutated black praying mantis behind them suddenly exploded with a "bang".
Henry, who was walking at the front, suddenly turned his head and shouted. "Be careful!"
Lee Sheng was pressed down on the grass. He raised his head slightly in surprise and looked behind him. He saw the body of the mutant mantis explode into a blood mist. To be precise, it's its stomach that exploded.
Following that, a series of black shadows shot out from within, directly turning into a black shadow that shot towards their companions at the back of the group.
After that, the black shadow flew onto their backs and began to drill into their power suits.
"Ah!!"
A few of his companions on the other side suddenly screamed miserably. Those black shadows had actually penetrated their power suits and then drilled into their flesh.
This time, there were a total of five companions who were hit. These five companions let out a series of blood-curdling screams before they suddenly lost their minds and ran towards the bushes in all directions. No matter how loudly the others shouted, they did not look back.
"Iron … iron nematode?"
Li Sheng's heart trembled. He knew that there was a creature living in the body of a mantis called the Iron Thread Worm, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
After the death of the host, it would take the initiative to separate from the host's body, and in such an intense manner, it would choose a new host.
"Bastard."
Henry cursed in a low voice. The three people who were controlled by the Iron Thread Worm were his soldiers. After taking a deep breath, he warned everyone. "Everyone, be careful, this jungle is very dangerous."
Lee Sheng no longer underestimated this place. After seeing his three companions die in front of him without any warning, his heart was touched. He was also very nervous. What should he do if he encounters such a thing?
In this way, seven days passed in a row. During these few days, Lee Sheng and the others witnessed what a living hell is like.
They had seen too many strange and bloody creatures in this forest.
At first, Lee Sheng was still wondering why there weren't many creatures along the way, but he didn't expect that in the next few days, the number of creatures they saw simply shocked him.
Moreover, these creatures all pose a strong threat to them.
There was a terrifying bat with a wingspan of more than ten meters, almost twenty meters. Li Sheng and the others saw this creature capture a saber-toothed tiger that was eight to nine meters long. But not long after, this bat was also killed. The predator was a huge falcon.
These creatures are not only huge in size, but they also have a variety of special attack abilities. The bat's screech, the falcon's exaggerated speed, and so on.
Every day that Lee Sheng stayed in this forest, his heart was squeezed tightly. It was too terrifying. Another 30 people had died in their team. Now, there were only 105 people left.
"Mr. Lee, maybe we don't need to continue looking."
Henry found Lee Sheng and told him about the current situation. "It's too difficult. Even if you're sure that the area is in this area, it's still too difficult to find a team of 120 people."
In fact, what Henry wants to say is that the team is likely to have been killed. If they encountered so many terrifying beasts on the edge of the jungle, then what's in the depths of the jungle?
Lee Sheng heard the meaning behind Henry's words, and his eyelids couldn't help but jump. He naturally knows this, but his boss doesn't.
If he goes back like this, he will definitely be thrown into the sea by his boss.
"Even if it's a corpse, I will bring it back."
Lee Sheng said fiercely. "Let's keep looking, maybe we can find traces of them. Last time, they released a signal in this place."
Henry was helpless. Corpse? Hehe.
However, he doesn't have the right to object, he can only listen to Lee Sheng's words and continue to search around.
This time, they really made some discoveries.
"Hahaha, they rested here, there's a campfire here."
Lee Sheng saw an open space not far from him. There's a campfire, and in front of this campfire, there are obviously other campfires. Around the campfire, there are traces of tents.
"Lieutenant Horner, look, they rested here."
Lee Sheng pointed to the open space in front of him and said. "It looks like they went in that direction."
He pointed his finger in a certain direction, judging by the traces on the ground.
Henry's heart couldn't help but relax. There are indeed traces of camping here. He also hopes to find the research team as soon as possible and leave this damn place.
In just a short period of time, they have already lost more than 30 people.
Another three days passed.
Lee Sheng and the others followed the traces and moved forward quickly. They didn't find anything along the way, but after three days, they finally had some results.
