Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Lin Xiao covered his face with the Shadow Mask, and his clone immediately appeared in the cabin.

Lin Xiao, the clone, picked up the main body and placed it on the wooden bed.

Before leaving, Fen Shanlin glanced at his backpack.

"Tetanus Blade, slingshot, concealed mines, very good, basically everything is ready!"

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then went to the door, pressed her body tightly against it, and slowly opened the door.

After the door opened, Lin Xiao peeked out and looked around.

They did not notice the giant praying mantis that had just been chasing them.

Lin Xiao did not see the giant praying mantis, but he did not relax his vigilance. He continued to look around cautiously before slowly taking a step forward.

After taking two steps, the giant mantis still hadn't appeared, and Lin Xiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Lin Xiao, holding a +10 Vulnerable Windblade Armor in his right hand and a +10 Rusty Scythe in his left, carefully entered the forest.

However, they did not venture deeper, but continued to linger on the edge of the Misty Forest, collecting wood with a sickle while cautiously observing their surroundings.

Just after a tree was cut down, another whooshing sound came through the air.

Lin Xiao's ears twitched, and he heard the direction from which the sound came. He raised the Tetanus Blade and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"bite!!!"

An invisible sword aura struck the tetanus blade. Lin Xiao was forced back five steps by the power of the sword aura, but that was all.

Moreover, Lin Xiao also discovered that the sword energy was not traveling very fast, which relieved him.

"It seems the Misty World doesn't currently generate creatures that are too powerful... I can fight!"

With the Tetanus Blade and the Hidden Mine in hand, Lin Xiao made a decision.

Then, with a series of soft sounds, Lin Xiao spotted the giant mantis. It was perched on a tree trunk in the forest ahead, its triangular head looking at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao could see the predatory look in the giant praying mantis's eyes.

"Hmph, so you see me as prey? But... who the prey really is remains to be seen!!!"

Lin Xiao quickly put the Tetanus Blade back into his backpack, and then took out the slingshot and a +1 stealth mine.

After loading the hidden booby trap into the slingshot, that mysterious feeling returned to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao aimed at one of the eyes on the giant mantis's triangular head.

Although he couldn't remember the mantis's weakness, he still remembered that the eyes were the most vulnerable part of any creature.

"40m distance, wind speed, humidity, the giant praying mantis's next move..."

Various thoughts flashed through Lin Xiao's mind.

The giant praying mantis also noticed Lin Xiao's movements; its insect-like alertness alerted it to danger.

The giant mantis roared and unleashed another sword strike at Lin Xiao.

And it was at this very moment that Lin Xiao launched a hidden booby trap using his slingshot.

The hidden mine struck the mantis's right eye with a speed even faster than sword energy.

"Snapped!"

The next moment, a violent explosion resounded around the giant mantis.

Then, a huge, angry, and miserable roar came from the forest.

"It hit! And the power... the effect is outstanding!"

Lin Xiao smiled as he listened to the giant praying mantis's pitiful roar.

"Hmph, strike while the iron is hot!"

Lin Xiao, now a clone, pulled out his Tetanus Blade again and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

The explosion did not cause any dust or smoke in the surrounding area, and even the light mist around the forest was dispelled by the explosion.

The giant praying mantis had fallen to the ground and was rolling around.

Lin Xiao quickly rushed to the giant mantis's side, raised the Tetanus Blade, and slashed at the giant mantis's huge and plump belly.

Yellow blood gushed out from the wound Lin Xiao had made.

The tetanus has been activated; the wound Lin Xiao inflicted has not healed and is still continuously oozing yellow blood.

The giant praying mantis was in pain, but this also triggered its ferocity.

He turned around and swung his mantis arm downwards, but instead of unleashing sword energy, he engaged Lin Xiao in close combat.

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted, and the mantis arm slashed down at him with incredible speed.

"There's no way to avoid it!"

"Then...stop it!"

Anyone who has ever been a praying mantis knows that when a praying mantis hunts, its arms strike at an extremely fast speed.

In just a split second, it can capture its prey in the mantis's arm.

Although this giant mantis is injured, its attack speed remains incredibly fast.

Lin Xiao wielded the Tetanus Blade, constantly parrying the giant mantis's attacks while continuously moving around.

However, Lin Xiao also noticed that the giant mantis's attack frequency was gradually decreasing, partly because the missing eye was greatly affecting the giant mantis's performance.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao's Tetanus Blade was also constantly taking effect.

Each attack has a 55% chance of inflicting tetanus.

Most importantly, as long as Lin Xiao's attack targets the opponent's body, the attack will cause tetanus regardless of whether it breaks through the opponent's defenses.

The mantis arm is also the body of a giant mantis.

Under the relentless attacks, the giant mantis's stamina continued to decline, and wounds appeared one after another on its body.

In contrast, Lin Xiao, apart from looking a little tired, only had a wound on his left arm.

This was a wound he sustained when he tripped over a tree trunk while dodging an attack from a giant praying mantis.

As for why Lin Xiao was almost unharmed, it was because the King of Qin circled around the pillar.

Despite its intimidating 2-meter-long body, the giant praying mantis has limited mobility in the forest.

If you're not careful, each swing will land on the surrounding tree trunks.

At this time, Lin Xiao would take the opportunity to use Tetanus Blade to hit the giant mantis.

After a ten-minute struggle, the giant praying mantis suddenly stopped attacking and swayed as it collapsed to the ground.

However, Lin Xiao did not let his guard down and remained hidden behind a tree, waiting quietly.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, the giant praying mantis let out a mournful cry, and its only remaining eye closed.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the ground.

If it were a direct confrontation, Lin Xiao would definitely be no match for the giant mantis.

However, with the help of his superhuman physical and mental strength, as well as the surrounding environment, Lin Xiao still managed to defeat the giant mantis.
