Chapter 1052: The Assistant's Remarkable Feat

It was seen that after the explosive package detonated,

it didn’t kill the ancient mantis, it just blew off its tail…

Watching the scene before him, Zhao Rong sighed and handed a giant ray tube to his assistant, saying:

“Assistant, take this ray tube, and continue to blow up this ancient mantis in front of you…”

The assistant reluctantly said:

“It’s all my fault earlier, in a rush, I glued the explosive package onto the ancient mantis without taking another look… Now, I must attach this ray tube to the heart of that mantis…”

Listening to the assistant, Zhao Rong kindly reminded him:

“Assistant, you got it wrong, there was double-sided tape behind the previous explosive package, but this ray tube in front of you doesn’t have double-sided tape…”

Hearing Zhao Rong, the assistant’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed:

“Brother Zhao Rong, if there’s no double-sided tape on this ray tube, how am I supposed to stick this ray tube onto this ancient mantis?”

Zhao Rong pointed at the front of the ray tube and said to the assistant:

“Assistant, although this ray tube also doesn’t have double-sided tape, when you get it close to the ancient mantis, use all your strength to stab this ray tube directly into the mantis, then quickly leave…”

Listening to Zhao Rong, the assistant felt it was very difficult and said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, since this ancient mantis has tough skin and flesh, even machine guns can’t penetrate it, then I truly don’t know if the bayonet equipped on this ray tube can pierce the body of this ancient mantis…”

Zhao Rong pointed to the soft part of the mantis’s abdomen and said to the assistant:

“Assistant, have you noticed this ancient mantis, though its exterior is hard, its abdomen is just a layer of soft skin, as long as you use this ray tube to smoothly stab into the mantis’s abdomen, then we will have succeeded…”

The assistant gained confidence from Zhao Rong’s words,

he carried the ray tube on his back, moved forward, and said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, Miss Lili, Miss Yu Lan, Miss Xuelian, just wait for my good news…”

Miss Lili cheered for the assistant, saying:

“Assistant, go for it, I believe in you…”

Miss Yu Lan pulled out a pack of 50-cent spicy snacks from her pocket to encourage the assistant, saying:

“Assistant, if you manage to blow up this ancient mantis with the ray tube, I will reward you with a pack of spicy snacks…”

When the assistant saw that Miss Yu Lan was offering his favorite spicy snacks as a reward,

he was immediately filled with energy and said:

“Miss Yu Lan, rest assured, I will successfully blow up this mantis even if it’s just for those spicy snacks…”

When Miss Xuelian saw Miss Yu Lan using a pack of spicy snacks to motivate the assistant,

she immediately took out a pack of 10-cent pop rocks to encourage the assistant, saying:

“Assistant, if you complete the task successfully, I will reward you with a pack of pop rocks…”

After speaking, Miss Xuelian thought to herself:

Since the assistant could be bought with 50-cent spicy snacks,

then my pack of pop rocks, costing one dollar, will surely buy him again successfully…

But what Miss Xuelian didn’t expect was,

although the assistant was very interested in spicy snacks,

he had no interest in pop rocks at all…

The assistant waved his hand at Miss Xuelian and said:

“Miss Xuelian, I don’t like eating pop rocks at all…”

The assistant, carrying the ray tube, crawled at the fastest speed toward the ancient mantis,

he immediately thrust the end of the ray tube with spikes into the mantis’s soft abdomen…

In the blink of an eye, when the assistant had stabbed the spiked end of the ray tube into the mantis’s abdomen,

he dashed away like a rabbit and said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, Miss Lili, Miss Yu Lan, Miss Xuelian, I have now stabbed the ray tube into the abdomen of this mantis…”

When the assistant returned to the original spot, the ray tube not far away exploded.

In just an instant, the arrogant mantis was killed by the explosion of the ray tube inserted into its abdomen…

When Zhao Rong, Miss Lili, Miss Yu Lan, and Miss Xuelian, hiding behind a big rock, saw the assistant actually succeed in killing the mantis,

they all gave him a thumbs up and praised him, saying:

“Assistant, it looks like you have the potential to take over for Brother Zhao Rong…”

When the assistant saw he had successfully killed the mantis,

he proudly said:

“Before, it was always Brother Zhao Rong who accomplished the impossible tasks, today, I also completed an impossible task…”

Miss Lili praised the assistant, saying:

“Assistant, you truly grow beyond your master, it seems that if there are more dangerous tasks in the future, Brother Zhao Rong won’t need to do them himself, he just needs to sit by and direct you to do them…”

Hearing Miss Lili, the assistant felt a bit remorseful and said:

“Although I successfully completed the task this time, but there are still many dangerous tasks ahead, waiting, I’m truly afraid that I might slip up and lose my life…”

Miss Yu Lan encouraged the assistant, saying:

“To tell the truth, assistant, you are a very capable person, but under the aura of Brother Zhao Rong, you seem dim… If Brother Zhao Rong offers you a chance to shine, then you will surely illuminate the entire starry sky…”

Listening to Miss Yu Lan, the assistant was thrilled inside, laughed heartily, and said:

“It seems a man still has to be skilled, because women love skilled men…”

Miss Xuelian gave the assistant a thumbs-up with both hands, saying:

“Assistant, keep going, I believe if you continue to work hard, a beautiful woman will definitely like you…”

The assistant envisioned the future and said:

“Starting now, I’ll work hard, do a good job, and complete tasks perfectly, I’m sure by my 30th birthday, I’ll have a wife and kids waiting for me at home…”

When Zhao Rong saw the assistant had successfully eliminated the ancient mantis,

he immediately led everyone out from behind the big rock.

Looking at the shattered mantis, Zhao Rong said impassionedly:

“Although 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period, this place was full of giant insects, when faced with modern weaponry, these insects are still vulnerable…”

Miss Yu Lan pinched her nose and walked, saying:

“I never expected the smell after the mantis exploded to be this unpleasant…”

Miss Lili picked up a piece of mantis debris from the ground and closely examined it, saying:

“I never thought that when a mantis grows larger, its fragments would be this big, it truly broadens my horizons…”

Miss Xuelian quickly walked forward, looking at the hill not far away, saying:

“Brother Zhao Rong, Sister Lili, Sister Yu Lan, Assistant, I hope when we reach the hill ahead, we can still find that Dinosaur People…”

The assistant took out binoculars, carefully observing the distant hill, and confidently said:

“Brother Zhao Rong, Miss Yu Lan, Miss Xuelian, Miss Lili, don’t lose heart, although the ancient mantis blocked our path earlier, delaying our capturing of the Dinosaur People, but as long as we safely reach the hill, we can still capture this Dinosaur People and bring it to the future world…”
