Chapter 157: Once the Overlord, Now the Ant

With an average height of less than 1.3 meters and thin arms like sticks, they continuously mined blue raw stones from the canyon, which were much larger than their bodies.

Then, under the continuous waving of the whip of the Mantis Mantis Man, they used four thin arms like sticks to tremble and lift the huge raw stones that were several times larger than their bodies, and walked slowly to the processing warehouse in the west.

There, the raw stones mined by these locust-like creatures will be processed into semi-finished products, and then sent to the front line to become metal nutrients to strengthen the properties of the Mantis Mantis Mantis Arm Knife.

These creatures with four arms and looks like locusts are a group of intelligent creatures called Thunder Horse Locusts.

They are a low-level race belonging to the Mantis plane, with strong fertility, and even gave birth to a civilization that is not inferior to the Mantis Mantis Mantis.

But now, the Mantis Mantis Mantis and the Jade Blade Zerg have been strictly curbing the scale of their ethnic group development.

The reason for this situation can only be said to be completely self-inflicted.

It is said that when the Mantis plane was still in the early stage of the micro world, the Mantis plane was not called this name at that time.

At that time, the Mantis Zerg was still an inconspicuous middle-level tribe, belonging to the kind of neither good nor bad.

However, the Thunder Horse Locust was already the overlord of the plane at that time. Many tribes needed to rely on its breath and trembled to survive.

Unfortunately, because of the strong fertility of the Thunder Horse Locust, and the fact that the production of the Blazing Thunder Purple Bamboo on which they depended for survival in the plane had been greatly reduced year by year, the supply could not meet the demand.

Not only did their tribe decrease greatly, but all the Thunder Horse Locust tribes born after them showed symptoms of malnutrition.

In order to maintain their status as the world hegemon, the Thunder Horse Locust tribe at that time actually wanted to eliminate all tribes that could threaten their race.

This crazy move instantly ignited the war in the entire Mantis plane. A turmoil that lasted for a thousand years ended with both sides losing.

It was after this battle that the Thunder Horse Locust tribe fell into decline and withdrew from the world stage. Other high-ranking races were exterminated, and even those who survived could hardly restore their former glory.

The Mantis tribe officially stepped onto the historical stage after this battle and dominated the Mantis plane for nearly 100,000 years.

Looking at these short, thin, dull-eyed, malnourished Thunder Horse Locusts in the valley, who could have imagined what brilliant achievements they had made!

Vlad sighed and looked at the ores they were carrying.

These blue ores are called Blazing Thunder Stones. Blazing Thunder Purple Bamboo is a byproduct derived from the Blazing Thunder Mine, and it is also a good magic resource.

Especially for the Dark World Thunder Attribute Magicians, or other Thunder Attribute Creatures, they are rare and precious magic resources.

What's more, this is a magic mineral that is extremely lacking in the Dark World, and its preciousness and value will be increased on this basis.

At this time, among the hundreds of Mantis natives stationed here in the valley, only the second-level male mantis man who was stationed in the center of the valley needed everyone to pay a little attention. It was difficult for other first-level mantis men to detect their abnormalities.

This infiltration operation did not cause any unexpected situations.

Vlad easily put the guards into an illusion without knowing it. After quickly packing up all the accumulated and sealed blazing thunder stones here, everyone quickly moved to the next resource location without anyone noticing.

Just as Vlad and other forces in the dark world were taking action one after another, the front line of the Mantis continent, the command base.

There was endless smoke and war here.

Countless black fluid creatures, mixed with a large number of various star tribes parasitized by the variant civilization. Like a black torrent, it was overwhelming, constantly washing the hardest charred stone at the front line, and was about to drown it in the black torrent.

They are sturdy, generally three or four meters tall, shaped like crocodiles, with thick tails with sharp barbs, and extremely ferocious creatures. Their scarlet pupils are full of excitement and greed, which is a desire for killing and flesh and blood.

As the purple long tongue with black flesh thorns swept over the sharp fangs with sticky saliva, the body dived, and the thick arms covered with rough scales had already pounced on the already broken front line on the opposite side.

These ferocious creatures shaped like crocodiles are indigenous tribes from a micro-plane in the known star field around the Mantis plane.

However, at this time, they have become puppets parasitized by the variant civilization. They not only have a strong physique, but also have changeable abilities.

Above the sky, there are four-winged, fiery red monster birds covered with dense scales. They are interstellar wandering tribes from a certain extinct low-level plane, and are also parasitic puppets of the variant civilization.

Fire snakes were constantly spitting downwards, with well-developed muscles. Claws with sharp barbs and long beaks covered with fine teeth swept downwards from time to time, stirring up a bloody rain.

Among them, there were also a large number of parasitic creatures that looked like the Jade Blade Zerg.

And from inside the base, the various races from the Mantis plane were constantly fighting against these mutant creatures.

In the fierce fighting and fierce collision, nearly one million races from the Mantis plane, led by the Mantis Mantis, desperately guarded this frontier base.

This front-line base, like a nail firmly stuck in the path of the variant civilization, finally curbed the momentum of the variant civilization's offensive.

This is the fourth attack from the variant civilization this year, with an average of one attack every three months, which constantly consumes the manpower of this base.

Now, the southeast war zone of Mantis continent alone has gathered nearly two million combat forces above the intermediate magic apprentice.

It can be seen that the scale of the war is huge.

In addition to this main war zone, there are two secondary war zones that are second only to the southeast war zone in importance, and the scale of the battle has also reached one million.

In addition to the elderly and children, throughout the history of plane wars for more than a dozen generations and hundreds of years, the Mantis plane can be said to have fully developed and utilized all the resources and manpower that can be mobilized, and joined this war that can be called a meat grinder.

Like a clockwork war machine, it is extremely tight.

The war potential and social resources of the Mantis plane have been compressed to the limit. If there is no improvement after a hundred years, the plane's potential will be exhausted and they will face collapse at any time, without any possibility of recovery.
