Chapter 302: Fucked by the Queen Mantis.
The wing claws gripping the Strike Dragon Gun gave a mighty yank.
Hmm…
It didn’t budge.
After obtaining this super-sized Strike Dragon Gun, the Queen Mantis had clearly wasted no time using it as the spine of Ruin City.
And as the long rod connecting the other limbs of Ruin City, the Strike Dragon Gun was naturally bound with an absurd amount of silk threads. Pulling it out would be equivalent to tearing Ruin City apart with one claw.
That was truly impossible.
But he could heat up his wing claws to melt the silk threads and then withdraw the Strike Dragon Gun.
That would take time, and the Queen Mantis, who had already realized her throne had fallen, had torn open the golden cocoon and crawled out.
She opened her front claws, but it wasn’t the same show-offy demeanor from when she pulled Ruin City. Instead, it was the powerless rage after Ruin City fell.
She jumped around on Ruin City, tiny compared to the Giant Halberd Dragon in size.
But her front claws contracted and opened again, and the furious Mantis Fist made Jié Jié feel quite a bit of pain.
He wasn’t like the original Giant Halberd Dragon, which didn’t react to pain.
He opened his mouth to bite, but the Queen Mantis nimbly jumped away and disappeared right before his eyes.
Where’s the bug?
Jié Jié’s head turned, unconsciously relying on his vision to search for the Queen Mantis, unaware that the Queen Mantis was currently slashing and tearing at his back.
The Queen Mantis was very light, her movements not penetrating the scales and thick nerves of the Giant Halberd Dragon.
Large amounts of silk threads were sprayed from her abdomen, shooting towards all parts of the Giant Halberd Dragon’s body, as well as towards Ruin City beside the Giant Halberd Dragon.
The thick silk threads that took so much time to entangle Ruin City were pulled and barely transferred onto the body of the Giant Halberd Dragon, connecting with the silk threads all over the Giant Halberd Dragon.
Dragon control!
With his body stiffened by the entanglement, Jié Jié realized what was happening. Using energy perception, he determined that the Queen Mantis was running on his back, controlling the dragon.
His back was the blind spot of the monster. Knowing his claws couldn’t reach his back, he didn’t bother trying, instead shaking his body to see if he could shake her off.
Clearly, it didn’t work. The silk threads had already bound his entire body, perhaps unable to fully control him, but they were affecting his movement while binding the Queen Mantis and himself together.
Good news: the dragon is being controlled.Bad news: he’s the one being controlled.
Of course, he could do a big flip, and if the Queen Mantis didn’t want to get squashed, she’d have to jump away.
But… he thought this was kinda fun.
With the physique of the Giant Halberd Dragon, the Queen Mantis couldn’t inflict any serious damage, so he relaxed his muscles and went along with the pulling of the silk threads, seeing what she intended to make him do.
This dragon control by the Queen Mantis was unexpected; he must learn it to use it when he turns into a Queen Mantis!
Going along with the pulling sensation from his wing claws, Jié Jié lifted them.
Lift left, lift right, slowly colliding with the nearest wall.
Head already against the wall, now what?
“Is that all?”
Jié Jié let out a mocking growl.
Even if he let her, she couldn’t make the wall collision happen.
Realizing she couldn’t achieve the wall crash, the Queen Mantis seemed to fall back into a state of powerless rage, biting and tearing at the scales on the Giant Halberd Dragon’s back with her front claws.
Didn’t feel a thing.
Coming back to her senses from her rage, the Queen Mantis’ head turned, looking around. Her abdomen swung, and she pulled her broken wheel toward the Giant Halberd Dragon’s head.
“Clang!”
That sound was definitely a good head, but Jié Jié just felt his brain buzzing. His left eye saw the broken wheel flying back toward him.
This kind of play was unacceptable!
After paying the price of a few teeth to bite and discard the wheel beneath him, he shrank in size, turned his body, and as a Flame King Dragon, bit down at the Queen Mantis.
Seeing herself transform, coupled with the sensation of falling, the Queen Mantis was struck with astonishment.
This bite directly caught the Queen Mantis’ front claws.
“Bang bang bang bang!”
Realizing what was happening, the Queen Mantis’ other front claw swung wildly toward Jié Jié. The immense strength of the queen could make even the Giant Halberd Dragon feel pain, and it certainly wasn’t pleasant on the face of the Flame King Dragon.
“Crack!”
After the sound of the carapace breaking, a wave of fire erupted from Jié Jié’s mouth, chasing the Queen Mantis who used the rebound force to launch herself into the air.
In mid-air, the Queen Mantis instinctively tugged at the silk threads wrapped around her body, attempting to maneuver in the air, but her broken front claw couldn’t pull, and she didn’t have time to react with another limb.
Completely covered in bright flames, the Queen Mantis trembled all over, flipping and thrashing on the ground after extinguishing the flames, feeling an overwhelming chill throughout her body.
Jié Jié pounced again.
The queen let out a sharp crackling sound, swinging her front claws to cut the silk threads and retreated backward without hesitation, swinging debris from Ruin City with her abdomen to create a centrifugal displacement.
She regained distance, but the debris she flung was shattered and exploded.
After smashing the debris, Jié Jié ceased his flame emission and stomped on the thread connected to the tail of the Queen Mantis with his claw pads.
Shaking his wings, a large amount of dust flew toward Ruin City and ignited into a sea of fire with a single breath.
“There won’t be a fourth round.”
Jié Jié took slow steps, his back against the radiant fire sea of the burning ruins, showcasing the majestic presence of the Flame King Dragon to the fullest.
The Queen Mantis emitted a sharp crackling sound, swinging her front claws to sever the silk threads. But instead of charging at the Flame King Dragon, she turned around without hesitation and fled.
If she wanted to escape, the Flame King Dragon would indeed find it hard to catch up.
But the Electric Dragon, known as the electric mosquito swatter, wouldn’t find it difficult.
Flapping wings, diving, changing direction and ramming—doing it a few times would suffice.
Clawing, biting, burning, the battered Queen Mantis had entered the final stage of fatigue, her mobility significantly reduced under the pursuit, becoming increasingly disoriented.
She turned, but failed to gain distance, grabbed by the clamp-like tail of the Electric Dragon. Intense current surged through her body, leaving her incapable of resistance.
A flick of the tail, and the Queen Mantis landed on the ground, lying on her back, smoke rising from her body, her limbs convulsing.
Time to feed, unlock form, and tinker with your own ruin city!
After devouring the Queen Mantis, Jié Jié rubbed his front claws and hurried back to the ruins.
Queen Mantises are female-dominant, but there are no gender-based totems among mantises. This allowed him to retain his gender after transforming, undoubtedly becoming a male Queen Mantis!
Upon returning to the ruins, he saw a group of Queen Mantises gathered on the Ruin City where the flames had died out, led by a female Queen Mantis.
After transforming into a Queen Mantis, he could distinguish the gender of the Queen Mantises.
Golden Queen Mantises were mostly male, while female Queen Mantises weren’t originally golden but gained their golden hue by consuming male Queen Mantises.
After the death of the queen, the female Queen Mantis began emitting pheromones exclusive to the queen…
The new queen looked at him, emitting stronger pheromones, while the other male Queen Mantises revealed hostility with their aggressive postures.
He was far superior in both size and appearance, easily winning the heart of the new queen, but as an outsider, his fate would be to become food after mating.
Very mantis-like indeed.
Jié Jié could feel his body being stimulated by the new queen’s pheromones, but this wouldn’t do. He had no intention of accepting the social norms of the Queen Mantises.
Thus, the body of the male Queen Mantis swelled and burst amidst the raging flames.
Under the power of the Flame King Dragon, this clan of Queen Mantises began migrating towards the northeast direction.
