Chapter 133: Hiding in the Grass

Chi Yang left first, and Shi Ji didn’t dawdle either.

The area was now filled with chaos, with continuous sounds of confusion and destruction echoing all around. Most of these sounds were wails, mixed with the noise of buildings being destroyed. Together, these sounds painted a picture of disaster.

Shi Ji looked around, pondering the most effective solution. He didn’t know how many anomalies had appeared or their exact locations. For now, he could only use the sounds to make an initial judgment.

“Hey! What’s that?”

While Shi Ji was scanning the area and thinking of a plan, a distant, shiny black figure caught his attention.

“Oh, it’s that big bug from before.”

It was the mantis that had caused the derailment of the roller coaster.

He saw the mantis heading towards the Ferris wheel.

Ferris wheel?

As he thought of the Ferris wheel, Shi Ji’s eyes lit up. He looked up at the tall Ferris wheel.

“Ha! I’ve got an idea!”

With that, Shi Ji quickly headed towards the Ferris wheel.

***

According to the assessment, the mantis that had appeared earlier was of demon level. In the short time it had been here, it destroyed many of the amusement park’s facilities. Now it was heading towards the giant Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel was slowly stopping, with people still waiting to be rescued. The park’s staff, from the moment the monsters appeared, didn’t abandon those on the Ferris wheel but worked to stop it and gradually get people down.

No anomalies had appeared here yet, but the surrounding noises were frightening enough.

“How many people are left up there?” one of the rescuers asked.

Another staff member, who was observing, looked up and said, “Five more cabins, almost done.”

After answering, he shouted to the people still trapped in the cabins.

“Hey! Don’t worry, we’ll get you out soon!”

While these words were comforting, they couldn’t completely quell the fear in people’s hearts.

As the evacuation proceeded in an orderly manner, an imminent danger was lurking nearby, unnoticed.

In the grass nearby, a pair of eyes were fixed on the scene.

It was the mantis that had just come from the other side. After mutating, it could stand on its two sturdy legs, behaving much like a human. Its body was pitch black, and its shell gleamed like polished metal. The most noticeable feature was its two claws, which had turned into long, sharp blades.

“Hehe! Destroying the Ferris wheel will be the final touch. Once it collapses, the fear it leaves behind in humans will be even deeper, even more profound.”

Hiding in the grass, the mantis could already envision the aftermath.

But just as it finished speaking, an unexpected voice came from beside it.

“How pathetic, your thinking is so simple, like a child’s play. If it were me, I’d destroy the entire amusement park.”

!!!

The mantis was startled. When it turned to look, it found a young man in white had somehow appeared next to it.

It was Shi Ji, who had followed it.

Shi Ji’s expression was calm, and like the mantis, he was crouching, looking at the few remaining people on the Ferris wheel.

Wh… When did he…?

The mantis was puzzled. When had this guy appeared next to it?

Without thinking further, it swung its blade at Shi Ji without hesitation.

Shi Ji didn’t move or dodge. He was still crouching, but he raised his right hand.

Swoosh!

With a flick of his middle finger, he caught a shiny, black, sharp blade between his fingers.
