Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The warm room.

Su Chen opened his eyes, scratched his head, picked up his phone and checked the time.

"Is it only three o'clock in the afternoon?"

Shaking his head, Su Chen put down his phone and turned his eyes to the egg.

He had a lot of treasures full of vitality in his hands, and he took them all out at this time, holding them in his hands and touching them with the egg.

The egg shook slightly, and it obviously felt the vitality that was useful to it, and began to absorb it by itself.

After a while, several treasures containing vitality were absorbed by it.

Afterwards, the egg shook slightly, and the color was faintly more shiny than before.

"It should be hatching soon, right?"

Su Chen murmured, looking at it with a blue light in his eyes, and the information of the egg immediately appeared in his mind.

[An egg that is about to hatch, items full of vitality can speed up this process. ]

"Sure enough."

Seeing this introduction, Su Chen's face lit up and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He spent a lot of resources on this egg, and now it is finally about to hatch.

"There is just no specific time. How about continuing to exchange for some resources containing vitality?"

Su Chen murmured, stroking his chin and thinking.

At this time, with a buzz, the phone vibrated.

"Tang Wei?"

Pick up the phone and look at the incoming call notification. Su Chen looked surprised, and then seemed to think of something and answered the phone.

"Captain Tang, you contacted me at this time. Is there any news about Lingxu?"

"Yes."

Tang Wei's voice sounded on the phone. Perhaps because the location of Lingxu was finally confirmed, her voice also had a hint of smile.

"The location has been locked. I will send it to you later."

"When will we go?"

"Don't worry. It should be tomorrow night if nothing goes wrong."

"Tomorrow night?" Su Chen looked puzzled.

Tang Wei explained. "The Spiritual Ruins has not been fully opened yet, just like a door that has not been fully opened. According to our estimation, it will probably take tomorrow night to be fully opened, and then we can enter the Spiritual Ruins."

"I see."

Su Chen looked enlightened.

"And this time, you have to be prepared." Tang Wei's words came again on the phone.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Literally."

Tang Wei said in a deep voice. "You should know about the previous global earthquake. Because of that earthquake, the global area expanded and the distance between cities became farther."

"In addition, the number of ferocious beasts increased."

"Let's put it this way. Since the global expansion began, all residents who left the city, whether they were traveling, returning home, or transporting goods, whether they were in the sky, on the ground, or on the sea."

"Seventy percent of these people have been attacked by ferocious beasts to varying degrees, and many of them have died."

"This result has led to the zoo departments in major cities basically starting to be self-reliant, and it is unlikely to seek help from the headquarters."

"And this time in Lingxu, many outsiders came to Jiangcheng, and they may target you because you are a ranger."

"If you are not strong enough at that time, there will be some bad consequences."

Tang Wei didn't say it too clearly.

But Su Chen understood the specific situation after just a little thought, and immediately narrowed his eyes. "Because I am a ranger?"

"In short, because of my identity, someone wants to see me make a fool of myself?"

"That's right." Tang Wei admitted.

Su Chen couldn't help curling his lips. "Captain Tang, you're a bit unkind. When we agreed to cooperate, you didn't tell me there would be so many troubles."

"Ahem, didn't I compensate you before?" Tang Wei was also a little embarrassed, mainly because she thought there was time for Su Chen to grow up. With Su Chen's potential, as long as he grew up, there would be nothing to worry about.

But who knew there would be so many troubles later.

"And one thing you can rest assured is that although there will be many people eyeing you this time, there will definitely not be players who have evolved more than three times."

"Three evolutions..."

Su Chen was stunned. This reminded him of the bounty he had seen before. It seemed that except for himself, most of the rangers on it had evolved more than three times.

Now that Tang Wei said this again, would there be any difference if there were more than three evolutions?

Facing Tang Wei, Su Chen did not suppress this.

Doubtful, asked directly.

Tang Wei's voice suddenly fell silent on the phone, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she continued. "How should I put it? There is indeed a big difference between those above three evolutions and those below three evolutions."

"To describe it in one sentence, it is extraordinary and below extraordinary."

"What do you mean?"

Su Chen frowned, a little puzzled. Logically speaking, although he has only one evolution now, he also possesses extraordinary power. How can he be considered an extraordinary person?

But after Tang Wei said that, it seemed that it was not the case.

Tang Wei explained. "I don't know the details, because there are no extraordinary people in Jiangcheng who have evolved more than three times, and the materials needed for the third evolution are rare."

"In short, in the words of our Jiangcheng captain, after three evolutions, there will be a transformation in the essence of life."

"This transformation will improve the players from the inside out."

"Not only in terms of strength, but also in their own souls, spirits, wills, and even their origins."

"In short, players who have evolved for the third time are all perverts!"

As if she remembered something, Tang Wei's voice trembled a little when she said the last sentence.

Su Chen didn't care, but fell into deep thought.

"Transformation from the inside out..."

The third evolution?

He clicked on the attributes and looked at his panel.

Now he has experienced four enhancements, and there are still three enhancements to the second evolution.

"It seems that there is still a big gap between me and the top players."

Su Chen murmured.

By the way.

Su Chen suddenly became curious and asked. "Captain Tang, how many times have you evolved?"

"Second time."

Tang Wei did not hide anything and said directly. "I am different from you. I evolved through the blood map, or most players do the same. The bad thing about the blood map evolution is that even if you have enough resources, it is difficult to start your own evolution without the blood map."

Su Chen asked. "So you are just lacking the blood map?"

After saying this, he suddenly remembered.

The blood map seems to be really rare.

At least he has never seen one until now.

"Yes."

Su Chen thought about it and asked. "What blood map are you missing?"

If possible, I can help keep an eye out for it in the future.

Tang Wei on the phone thought about it and gave an answer. "Three-tailed fox."

......

Hang up the phone.

Su Chen walked out of the room and came to the yard.

Today's sunshine is very bright, shining on people, making people feel lazy and comfortable.

Facing the sunshine, Su Chen showed a comfortable smile on his face, then walked to a lounge chair in the yard and sat down, looking at the blue sky in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

"Three spirit foxes..."

"Tsk, this incarnation of Captain Tang is not simple either."

"But what I didn't expect is that Jiangcheng didn't have a single player who had evolved more than three times. It's too pitiful."

Su Chen muttered.

From the bounty, he found that the forest rangers in many other cities basically had evolved more than three times.

The forest rangers are indeed powerful, but judging from the situation of the forest rangers, the officials of those cities may also have evolved more than three times.

Only Jiangcheng, tsk tsk, let's not talk about it.

"But it's okay, there is no one now, so I'll be the first one!"

"And, although the gap between me and those top players is still big, I am not without advantages."

That is, the evolution speed of those players is slower than mine.

They need to search for blood map.

And I can skip this process.

In this way, it won't take too long for me to catch up with them!

Thinking of this, Su Chen grinned, clicked on the attributes, and checked several parts that have not been strengthened.

"Head, chest, hind wings..."

"Head, my will is strong enough, but it is only at this stage. In the future, when I encounter stronger enemies, I will be at a great disadvantage without will and mental defense, so it is best to find materials that can improve will and spirit when strengthening the head."

"For the chest... I can choose materials with thunder attributes. After all, the chest is connected to the heart. On the premise that I have a thunder heart, I can use thunder attribute materials to strengthen it, and there may be a chance to further improve the thunder heart."

"And the hind wings..."

In Su Chen's opinion, the hind wings are still the best materials with wind attributes, which can further improve his speed in the game.

After some contemplation, he checked several parts.

Su Chen immediately made a decision on the strengthening plan.

Of course, this is only pending. If he encounters materials that do not match the properties but are more suitable for strengthening in terms of conditions, he does not mind changing them.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen no longer thought about it, opened his backpack, and took out the Thunder Blood Grass.

"I hope you can bring me some surprises."

Looking at the treasure in his hand, Su Chen's eyes flashed with anticipation.

The lightning and thunder stimulated his palms, making him feel sour and numb.

Su Chen grinned and took the Thunder Blood Grass into his mouth.

The current passed through, making his mouth feel numb.

But fortunately, the treasure is a treasure after all. After swallowing it into the stomach, the feeling of electricity disappeared directly. Instead, it was like drinking a cup of boiling hot water, which made the stomach feel like burning.

Then, thunder appeared on the surface of his body involuntarily.

The thunder appeared with a sizzling sound, emitting a strong current.

Even in his pupils, there was a faint blue thunder.

The blood flow was accelerating, and the thunder robe subconsciously enveloped him.

Su Chen vaguely felt that his blood was changing.

The next moment.

A momentum burst out from Su Chen's body involuntarily.

Accompanied by the thunder pouring from his body.

At the same time, a display box popped up in front of Su Chen, and a prompt appeared in front of him.

[Your blood has been invaded by thunder blood, and your blood has completely possessed a trace of thunder power. ]

[Your physique has been improved. ]

[You have gained a new ability: Thunder Blood. ]
