Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The old man was very happy.

"The essence of the strong wind? A first-level spiritual object?"

Su Chen's eyes were shining, and he looked up at Elder Yun with a puzzled look on his face.

Elder Yun stroked his beard and smiled. "You want to ask what a spiritual object is, right?"

Su Chen nodded.

In fact, he wanted to ask when he knew that Jindie came for a spiritual object.

Elder Yun did not hide this point.

"So-called spiritual objects are actually similar to treasures. They are the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. They are more precious than treasures and have more powerful effects than treasures."

"Similarly, spiritual objects are harder to find than treasures. They can only be found in dangerous places."

"Generally speaking, treasures make creatures stronger, while spiritual objects make creatures transform and evolve."

"Evolution?"

"Yes."

Elder Yun looked at Su Chen and asked with a smile. "You should have experienced evolution once, right?"

Su Chen's heart moved. "Elder Yun, do you know about evolution?"

"Of course I know. After all, it's not a secret."

Elder Yun smiled faintly. "It's just that I haven't really seen it before. For most creatures, especially insects, their bloodlines are destined to be born, and it's difficult to transcend. The word evolution is too far away. Even powerful treasures are not opportunities for insects, but disasters. Powerful treasures contain powerful energy. When weak insects take them, it's like a fragile balloon that bursts all at once."

"So it's actually very difficult to see insects that can evolve."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Su Chen did not hide it and told the truth. "Yes, I did evolve once."

Seeing this, Elder Yun showed an expression of "as expected". "No wonder you were favored by the insect nest."

Su Chen's expression moved slightly. "Do you mean that all the insects in the insect nest are capable of evolution?"

"Of course."

Elder Yun nodded and said. "I feel the unique breath of the insect nest on you. You should want to ask about the insect nest, but to be honest, I don't know much about the insect nest."

Under Su Chen's disappointed eyes, Elder Yun said softly. "The Insect Nest is a mysterious organization. They may contact spirits, but they will not reveal their purpose."

"Under normal circumstances, members of the Insect Nest are rarely seen. Except for a few activities, most of them are in the process of honing themselves."

Su Chen came here to ask Elder Yun about the Insect Nest. After all, he still had the Fake King Trial to do.

But he didn't expect that even Elder Yun, who seemed to be knowledgeable, didn't know much about the Insect Nest.

Elder Yun comforted. "You don't need to worry. How can I say the Insect Nest? Although I don't know much, I know that it is not an evil organization. For insects, if they can join it, it is not only to prove their potential, but also to get various ways to become stronger in the Insect Nest organization."

"So for you, this is a good thing."

"I know."

Su Chen nodded and took a deep breath. He was naturally clear about this matter. From the Insect King Trial, it can be seen that ordinary insects are not qualified to join the Insect Nest.

Although he was chosen by the insect nest without knowing it, as Elder Yun said, it was a good thing for him.

However, since Elder Yun didn't know much about the insect nest, Su Chen decisively asked another question.

"Elder Yun, you said before that the golden butterfly came here to take a spiritual object from the spiritual tower. Does that mean that spiritual objects can be obtained in the spiritual tower?"

Su Chen looked at the spiritual elder in front of him with bright eyes.

He first got a spiritual object and knew how precious it was. There was no doubt that he wanted to get more spiritual objects.

It happened that he was going to the spiritual tower next.

It was just a pity that when facing his question, Elder Yun shook his head and said. "There are indeed spiritual objects in the spiritual tower, but unfortunately there is only one, and it has been taken away by that person."

Hearing this, Su Chen immediately showed disappointment. "Only one? Will there be no more in the future?"

"Of course I will add more in the future, but I think you may not stay until then, right?"

Elder Yun smiled slightly. "I can see that you have already intended to leave. There should be no need for you to pay attention to what happens in the future."

Tsk.

That's right.

In response, Su Chen showed a helpless expression, and did not waste time here. After bidding farewell to Elder Yun,

He left the training camp and came to the Spirit Tower.

Looking at the tall Spirit Tower in front of him, Su Chen looked at the Spirit Tower ranking list.

"Sure enough, it's the first place."

Looking at the figure of the golden butterfly who ranked first and had reached the top of the ranking list, Su Chen was not surprised at all.

With the strength of the golden butterfly, it would be strange if he still couldn't get the first place.

He didn't rush into the Spirit Tower, but opened his backpack and checked the essence of the wind.

He had checked the information of the essence of the wind before, and didn't get any useful information. The only thing he could be sure of was that this thing was useful to him.

After all, without using the forager talent, his body sent a message of desire.

This made him a little entangled for a while.

There is no doubt that if he eats it, it will definitely make him stronger.

But such a precious thing has never been heard of before. I don't know whether to use it directly or keep it for strengthening and evolution.

Normally, perhaps keeping it for evolution is the best choice.

But he still has some time before the second evolution.

Putting such a precious thing in the backpack and looking at it without doing anything will undoubtedly make people feel itchy.

Suddenly, Su Chen saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils shrank.

"Is it you?"

"Hehe, we meet again, handsome Mr. Mantis."

The pink mantis slowly walked out of the crowd, walking towards Su Chen with a light laugh. The people around him seemed not to notice its existence, and subconsciously made way for the pink mantis to pass.

Unlike the panicked moment when he saw the pink mantis before, Su Chen was very calm now.

After all, he knew that there was no ill will towards him...

No!

Looking at the undisguised fiery color in the pink mantis's eyes, Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

He felt that it could not be said that there was no ill will at all!

Silently, after the pink mantis approached, Su Chen took two steps back, keeping as much distance as possible, and then asked. "You are here... are you here to see me?"

"Hehe, of course."

The pink mantis noticed Su Chen's retreat, but didn't care. She just smiled. "I'm here to remind you that you should accumulate your fake king's mark as soon as possible."

"Compared to other trialists this time, you are already far behind."

Are you behind?

Su Chen frowned after looking at the fake king's mark information in his attribute panel, but he was not too surprised. He himself hadn't paid much attention to the fake king's mark in the past two days.

In addition to other things, what kind of enemy can accumulate the fake king's mark also confused him.

But now that the people of the insect nest appeared in front of him, Su Chen would not miss this good opportunity to ask.

"How to accumulate the second trial of the fake king's mark?"

"Oh? Are you asking me a question?" The pink mantis' eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and her body leaned forward slightly.

Su Chen's face and burly body made his pupils full of greed.

Feeling the greed, Su Chen frowned.

Pink Mantis said with a smile. "You can let me tell you, not only the requirements of the second trial, but also the third time, but you have to agree to one condition of mine, how about it?"

Condition?

Su Chen seemed to have thought of something, and shook his head and refused without hesitation.

Seeing this, Pink Mantis laughed. "Hehe, don't refuse so quickly, don't worry, it's not something difficult for you to accept."

"Really? Then tell me."

"I want you to accompany me to a place in the future."

"A place?"

"Well, a dangerous place."

Su Chen's eyes flashed with doubt. "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"Okay."

Pink Mantis shrugged and said lightly. "That place is very dangerous, but I have something I must get in there, and I need a helper."

"The insect nest organization doesn't lack the help you want, right?"

"No, no, no, you haven't joined the insect nest yet, so you don't know the structure of this organization. Anyway, compared to other insects, I am more optimistic about you!"

It said with a fiery look. "You give me a very different feeling."

Su Chen automatically ignored the latter sentence and asked. "Are you sure it's just this request?"

"Hehe, of course, I won't lie to you."

"I hope so, if that's the case, I can agree."

"Very good."

Seeing that Su Chen agreed, the pink mantis did not hide it, and directly told Su Chen the enemy targets that needed to be killed later.

In the second trial, you need to kill the third-level beast to accumulate the false king mark.

And the third time, you need to kill the loser's incarnation.

As for what is the loser's incarnation

The pink mantis also told Su Chen.

They are the incarnations of some insects that were once eliminated by the insect nest. Of course, their strength will be suppressed.

Only after completing the first three trials can you compete with other trialists for the final quota to enter the insect nest.

"Is that so..."

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully. A level three beast, it seems that he has to go back to the ground later.

Such a target should not be found underground.

"Okay, I've told you what I should tell you, I'll leave first."

"See you next time, handsome Mr. Mantis."

The pink mantis has achieved its goal, and it will leave with a slight smile.

Seeing this, Su Chen curled his lips, always feeling that he had lost a lot for no reason.

After all, it was so easy to agree to the other party's condition, and he only got an answer.

"Wait."

"I have another question."

Su Chen shouted.

Hearing this, the pink mantis turned around.

Su Chen asked directly. "Are there any spiritual creatures in the insect nest?"

"Spiritual creatures? Of course there are."

"I know."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded, opened his backpack, looked at the essence of the strong wind inside, and had already made a decision.

Seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the pink mantis. He didn't know why Su Chen asked this, but he still shook his head. He was happy that his goal had been achieved, and his steps became lighter.

Step by step, his figure quickly disappeared in the insect swarm.

Su Chen glanced at the spiritual tower in front of him, and turned away.

He found an empty alley, opened his backpack, took out the essence of the strong wind, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

The next moment, the strong wind swept out of his body uncontrollably!
