"Did that tree... move just now?"

Lin Yi's face became a little solemn.

If he saw it right, just now, in the woods not far away, there seemed to be a strange tree with thorns that shook slightly.

"Are these trees alive?!" Lu Linhai was shocked by the thought that popped up in his mind.

It was not only Lin Yi who noticed this scene. Except for Zhou Kai who could not see it for the time being, everyone else saw it.

It was not the shaking of the branches when the breeze blew, but the slight shaking of the entire trunk, which led to the shaking of the branches.

"What nonsense, if these trees are alive, the first to die are the aliens in this village and the guy named Lei."

Zhang Cheng touched his chin and said to An Chengdao: "No matter whether it is alive or not, give it a shot first."

"Uncle An, shoot."

According to what Brother Lei said, the energy stored in a bullet container can be used up to seven times.

After seven times, the energy in this bullet will be exhausted and cannot be used anymore.

Zhang Cheng found thirteen unused bullets in Lei Ge's residence. With the remaining bullet in the shotgun, they could shoot more than ninety times.

An Chengdao nodded, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, the strange tree not far away shook again.

Not only that, the voices of Zhang Cheng and Lei Ge were heard at that location.

"Gorilla...Gorilla..."

"Kill me...Kill me——"

"The tree spoke?!" Lu Linhai was stunned.

"No, that thing is not a tree!" Lin Yi was alert in an instant, "Zhou Kai is right, that thing is an alien!"

The branches on the trunk began to fall, and the six branches were connected to the trunk at one end, and the other end fell on both sides of the trunk.

The branches that were originally growing upwards began to fold. This thing is not a tree at all, it is clearly a mantis!

The six fallen branches are its insect legs, and the folded branches are its sickle-like forearms.

However, this mantis was different from the ones Lin Yi and his friends had seen in the city. Its carapace was not black, but more gray-brown.

Moreover, it was smaller and thinner than the mantises in the city.

Its gray-brown carapace had spikes on it, and when it was motionless, it looked almost exactly like the strange trees.

Therefore, when Lin Yi and his friends looked in the direction of Zhou Kai's finger, they did not immediately discover this alien hiding in the woods.

"This thing... can actually mimic?!"

Zhang Cheng was a little surprised, muttering in a low voice, "Just like the orchid mantis."

"Could it be that it is a different species from those mantises in the city?"

The moment he saw the alien move, An Chengdao did not hesitate at all and decisively pulled the trigger.

With a "bang" sound of the gun, the energy stored in the bullet container shot out.

However, the energy shot out did not hit the alien.

On the one hand, it was because An Chengdao was not good at using a gun. He was clearly aiming at the alien, but the place he hit was the strange tree next to it.

On the other hand, at the moment when An Chengdao fired, the carapace on the back of the alien suddenly opened, and two pairs of fan-shaped insect wings emerged.

The insect wings waved quickly, and the alien actually flew up!

An Chengdao raised the shotgun in his hand and pulled the trigger again, but still failed to hit the alien.

It makes sense. You can't hit a stationary object, let alone this alien moving in the air.

"My knife is still better." An Chengdao stuffed the gun in his hand to Lin Yi.

At the same time, the butcher knife in the bag flew out.

Three boning knives went around behind the alien, and An Chengdao aimed at the other party's waving insect wings.

Other butcher knives continued to attack from different directions to distract the alien's attention.

When the boning knife was about to approach, the alien suddenly flew up.

When it lowered its head, its serrated mouthparts opened, and yellow silk threads suddenly spit out of its throat.

The silk thread was sticky, and it quickly wrapped the bloodletting knife and the meat cleaver on both sides.

"This thing... When did it learn to spit silk?!" The scene in front of him made Lu Linhai sigh.

The silk thread spit out by the alien was very tough. After wrapping the blade, it could not be cut for a while.

In addition, the wrapping of the silk thread covered the sharpness of the blade and made the blade thicker. Even if it hit the joint, it could not penetrate.

The three boning knives behind the alien turned around, with the tips facing up, and quickly caught up with the alien.

When preparing to attack the insect wings again, the alien suddenly retracted the insect wings.

The blade hit the hard carapace, and a string of sparks burst out.

The alien fell at a high speed, and when it was about to fall into the woods, the carapace opened again, the insect wings waved, and it flew up again.

This alien was much more powerful than the mantises that Lin Yi and his friends encountered in the city.

The compound eyes on its head stared at Lin Yi and his friends, and the abdomen began to wriggle, and tentacles covered with barbs emerged from the abdomen.

The cry from his throat was slightly excited, but for some reason, this alien was just repeating what Zhang Cheng and Brother Lei had said.

"It's flying towards us!" Lu Linhai grabbed the steel rod on the ground and quickly stood in front of the team.

He bent slightly and held the steel rod tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to rush over when the alien fell and pierce the steel rod into its body.

"Leave it to me." An Chengdao pulled Lu Linhai behind him.

The dark blue bone-chopping knife flew into his hand. An Chengdao looked stern and raised his head to look at the alien flying over.

"You find a place to hide."

"Uncle An, we will help you." Lin Yi did not intend to hide.

He raised the hunting rifle in his hand and pointed the muzzle at the alien like An Chengdao did when he raised the gun.

Lin Yi did not disbelieve in An Chengdao's strength. They at least rested for a while, but An Chengdao did not rest for a moment.

"No need." An Chengdao seemed to see through Lin Yi's thoughts. "It's just an alien. I can handle it."

"Why are there mantises here?" Lu Linhai couldn't figure it out.

If there were mantises nearby, the first to be attacked should be the village where Brother Lei was.

Could it be that the aliens in the city caught up?

Zhang Cheng seemed to have thought of something and looked back at the burning village behind him.

"It's fire." Zhang Cheng frowned, with a trace of annoyance between his eyebrows.

He subconsciously clenched his fists. At this moment, he realized that his plan was not perfect.

"It was the fire that attracted it."

"No! Not just one!" At this time, Zhou Kai, who was listening attentively, spoke.

At the moment the voice fell, several strange trees in the woods moved again.

The fan-shaped insect wings waved, and the three mantises quickly approached Lin Yi and his position.

The reason why the alien flying in the air was exposed was to attract the attention of Lin Yi and his friends.

The mantis opened its serrated mouthparts, and sticky silk threads instantly emerged from its throat and flew towards Lin Yi and his friends.
