Chapter 157: Mantis Woman! Mantis Civilization?

It is a clear, pleasant female voice that sounds like a tinkling spring.

Even though it is in a somewhat serious and alert tone, it feels as gentle and friendly as a spring breeze.

Although this is the native language of the Mantis Plane, for Fulade and the others who have reached Level One Life Tier and can communicate with mental power, mastering a foreign language is not difficult.

Fulade's eyes flashed, and he calmly turned his head to look.

It turned out to be a tall, long‑legged female Mantis mantis whose appearance roughly conforms to human aesthetics.

A pair of the insect race's distinctive soft antennae, black long hair, and beneath a modest green armor, a hot, sexy figure full of healthy, agile beauty.

The firm, rounded fullness, starting from the abdomen, is highlighted by the V‑shaped green armor, exposing a dazzling half that draws the eye.

Big eyes, blinking lightly and spryly a few times, with a curious expression tinged with a hint of alertness.

Unexpectedly, the Mantis mantis that appeared behind had arms identical to human hands, lacking the species‑specific symbiotic blades.

Such a condition usually indicates that the Mantis mantis has entered old age, its body degenerating, and the symbiotic blades on its arms have fallen off.

Clearly, the sexy female mantis before us does not have that trait.

However, when looking at her curiosity‑filled, black eyes that were like a soul‑stealing black hole, a word suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Prophet Priest!"

It is not a title, but a special cultivation system unique to the Mantis mantis!

After a vague glance, Fulade replied quickly:

"We… are under Lord Laides' command to go to the outer base for a defensive rotation patrol squad."

"Oh, Laides of the Green Blade Bug Race?"

The female mantis tilted her head a bit, looking cute and dazed, blinking her big eyes as she examined Fulade.

"Yes, sir." Fulade said respectfully.

The opposite female mantis seemed to lower her guard; her bright big eyes showed a hint of smile, her expression softened, and she looked at Fulade and the others with a cute daze, nodding: "Alright, then hurry up and go; don't delay the defensive rotation."

The group relaxed and prepared to leave.

But after only two steps, that soft, pleasant voice whispered again beside them: "That place, it seems~ not the area you need to rotate defenses in, you sly infiltrator!"

The moment the voice sounded, a chilling aura suddenly enveloped them, and before they could react, a powerful mental force surged toward them.

Psychic force!

Similar to a caster's system, the Mantis Prophet Priest is also a cultivation system focused on mental power.

Unlike casters who leverage their own mental power to amplify magical force many times over, the Prophet Priest system primarily uses mental force as its main attack.

It also possesses respectable close‑combat ability.

These are two completely different systems.

The instant the voice sounded, Fulade had already moved behind the group, shielding the squad from the powerful mental force.

"You go ahead, don't wait for me, continue with the original plan." Fulade said without turning, transmitting the words via mental power.

Annie seemed about to say something, but faced with Fulade's stern gaze, she finally nodded and replied, "What kind of place do you think this is? Come if you want, leave if you want!"

Before the words finished, the tips of the two antennae on the female mantis's forehead lit up with a cluster of sparkling starlight.

A powerful mental wave quickly enveloped everyone.

The strength of this energy made the people behind Fulade turn pale with alarm.

Even Fulade couldn't help but furrow his brows deeply.

"Boom!"

"Buzz~"

The moment he blocked the pale‑gold mental attack, a faint buzzing sounded in Fulade's mind.

His expression darkened; he shook his head slightly, looked at the mantis woman opposite, and muttered inwardly, "No wonder she's called the strongest support in Marvel, the Mantis mantis!"

Indeed, this suddenly appearing mantis who blocked them is the Marvel heroine who can briefly control Thanos, famed as the strongest support, the mantis woman.

Seeing the pain and pallor on her face, it was clear the brief clash with Fulade had yielded her no benefit.

After all, even a remarkable talent is just a talent.

With late‑stage Level Two strength, she can unleash mental force comparable to Level Three, which is already quite extraordinary.

Watching her, in pain, clutching her forehead and slightly bowing, that firm, white‑filled fullness swayed the mind continuously.

…so big, so dazzling!

At the instant that thought flashed in Fulade's mind, he inadvertently noticed a subtle curve rising at the slightly drooping corner of the mantis woman's mouth.

Without time to think, Fulade's instinct sensed something wrong, and his deep eyes instantly turned eerie.

A flash of uncanny red light appeared.

Thin, almost invisible golden threads silently emerged in the mental sea, subtly winding around Fulade's consciousness and affecting his five senses.

At that moment, the threads kept layering; tracing their source revealed it was the mantis woman herself, Mantis! No wonder the mantis woman, who rose from mental support, had silently planted a mental seed in Fulade.

And just as Fulade's eyes turned into that uncanny red glow, those silently spreading golden threads instantly disintegrated, turning into a golden mental haze that drifted away slowly.

Meanwhile, the mantis woman, who had been secretly delighted by the successful secret technique, suddenly changed expression.

A thread of bloodlust surged, cold sweat beaded, appearing on her slightly weak, pale complexion.

"How is this possible! How did they notice!?" A flash of disbelief crossed the mantis woman's astonished eyes.

It should be noted that with this technique she has killed or severely wounded Level Three Life Tier mutants more than once! And this logistical hub was confidently left to three Level Two beings because she was here.

The incredulous mantis woman, as she lifted her head in shock, was completely filled with that uncanny red light.

At this moment, with her mental force in a void state, the mantis woman, after seeing Fulade's uncanny eyes, stared blankly, a hint of obsession flashing across her face.
