Hunter X Hunter: The Strongest Corpse Touch

"It's both right and wrong~" Mantis shrugged very humanely.

"How to say?"

"The mushroom tree tastes really good, but for me it can only be a dessert after a meal or a condiment to fill the dishes."

Mantis crossed his chest with his sword and said with a smile: "I am also a carnivore. Naturally, I mainly eat carnivores."

"In that case..." Ron had already vaguely guessed something, "You use the fragrance emitted by the mushroom tree to attract other creatures and hunt them, right?"

"That's right."

"Mainly cicadas?"

"That's it...how did you know?!"

Mantis paused for a moment, with a look of confusion on his face.

"That's right~" Ron smiled knowingly, but did not explain in detail.

Mushroom trees are fragrant, so their sap is naturally delicious. In addition, its intricate roots and vast foundation are simply the most ideal living conditions for bees!

In his previous life, Ron had read Fabre's "Insects", which contained detailed records of mantises.

Apart from the fact that the female mantis eats the male in order to reproduce the next generation, the thing that impressed Ron the most was the food of the mantis.

Fabre once fed praying mantises with chrysanthemums, which was unanimously disliked. Even if the mantises ate two pieces because they were really hungry, their reluctance was clearly visible.

Later, Fabre saw the scene of a praying mantis on a tree trunk, preying on a golden cicada, and then he realized what food the praying mantis really likes.

Then the mantises that he raised for observation were able to satisfy their greed, and they ate all the cicadas that Fabre put in every time.

From this, Fabre also discovered that mantises are extremely picky eaters. Even if they are cicadas, the mantises only eat the sweetest and fattest pieces on their bellies, leaving all the other heads and claws behind.

Therefore, Ron was able to deduce the food situation of the mantis based on what he said.

In fact, as early as the ancient times of China, our ancestors gave the specific situation of the praying mantis - the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind~

"Yes, my daily diet is the [Apple Cicada] in this forest." Mantis nodded and admitted.

"In addition to their delicious meat, they also have the sweetness of fruits like apples. They are my favorite food.

"Is that so~" Ron's eyes flashed.

He saw that this mantis was intelligent and could communicate normally. Not to mention its strength, it was located at the upper level of the forest pyramid. It was also very stable and mature in character. It worked hard for his own food.

Such ferocious beasts are definitely rare~

Ron thought about this, and a different idea came to his mind.

"I said~" He slowly came to the front of the mantis. Under the subconscious vigilance of the mantis, he showed a weird and kind smile like he wanted to buy candy for little Luo Li.

"Come with me, I promise to make you eat something more delicious than [Apple Cicada]."

"Follow you?!"

When Mantis heard this, he was obviously stunned. It was obvious that he was really shocked by Ron's words and did not react for a while.

"Yes, that's right. Come with me and stay here doing the same thing and eating the same food every day. Wouldn't you feel bored and tired of it?"

Ron followed suit.

"You said it yourself, hunting is actually to pass the time, which shows how monotonous your daily life is!" Ron pursued the victory.

"I feel like you get along very well with me. If you leave here with me, I promise I won't treat you badly..."

However, before Ron could finish speaking, he saw Mantis shaking his head crazily.

"If you don't leave, I won't leave! It's hard to find such a safe place, where you can have enough to eat every day. I'm afraid I'll never find another one in this world!"

It refused without hesitation, "Loneliness and boredom are much easier for me to overcome than death."

"That's it~" A look of understanding appeared in Ron's eyes.

After all, he is a steady mantis who values ​​his own life much more seriously.

It's just that you can tolerate loneliness and boredom, but what about this?

"I won't follow you...Follow you..."

Mantis got stuck midway through his words.

Its round eyes were fixed on a small object in Ron's hand.

It was a type of cicada it had never seen before, and its color was much more beautiful than the pure red of the apple cicadas it had eaten before!

"Colorful fried cicada pupae are made from unique cicada species, each color representing a different taste. It is a very treasured delicacy in the world. Try it? The taste is definitely extraordinary!"

Ron's face showed a charming smile like a devil, holding a colorful fried cicada pupa in his hand, shaking it up and down slightly in front of the mantis.

The mantis's gaze also followed the swing of Ron's wrist and swayed up and down. It only felt that the cicada pupa was so fascinating under the refraction of the light.

"咻咻~"

It sniffed lightly with the tip of its almost invisible nose, as if it smelled some intoxicating fragrance, and a look of addiction appeared on its face.

When Ron saw Mantis's expression, he was sure that things were going as he thought.

"No matter how steady you are, you are still a praying mantis. You have the nature of a praying mantis. That kind of picky eating personality and the deep-rooted desire for cicada food can never be suppressed once it breaks out."

Ron had a smile on his face, waiting for Cockroach's decision.

This colorful fried cicada pupa was the delicacy that Byande brought out when Ron and Byande met for the first time in the cafe next to the Sky Arena.

In addition to colorful fried cicada pupae, there are also cheese cabbage and wine made from purple jade grape crystals.

Ron thought this dish tasted good, so he collected some of it himself, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy here.

"I need to calm down, calm down!"

The mantis fell into a state of intoxication the moment he saw the colorful fried cicada pupa, but he quickly came back to his senses and started talking crazy in his mind to force himself to calm down.

B......

"Gulu~!"

An obvious sound of swallowing saliva was so obvious in this quiet atmosphere.

Mantis' body suddenly froze there, and when he saw the smile on Ron's face, it became even deeper. .
