Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

After the two of them had been together for a long time, they had to wait for the next day.

Repressing the throbbing in his heart, Lin said goodbye to Su Chen.

After watching the other party leave, Su Chen found a safe place and fell into deep thought, not even understanding the black iron he had just obtained.

"The talent of the forager is probably more powerful than I thought."

Su Chen thought to himself.

According to the situation just now, the forager's avoidance of danger and seeking good fortune is a bit outrageous.

When the black iron material was on Lin's body at the beginning, Su Chen did not get any induction from the forager at all, which means that items belonging to others are not within the forager's sensing range.

The opportunities that the forager can detect can only be ownerless objects.

But when Su Chen saw Lin being besieged by ants and was struggling whether to take action, the forager suddenly sensed the black iron on the other party and made himself eager.

What does this mean?

This means that even if it is Su Chen's choice, the forager can play a role, allowing Su Chen to know whether this choice will bring him danger or opportunity after he makes it.

"This talent is too terrifying, right?"

After thinking for a while, Su Chen couldn't help but exclaimed.

And this is the innate ability of the forager that he knows, which may not be all the abilities of the forager.

Maybe there are some that he hasn't discovered yet?

Su Chen pursed his lips, and said with excitement in his eyes. "This is good. With such a talent in hand, I may not be able to evolve into a powerful creature that kills dragons and eats meat in the future."

His breathing fluctuated, and Su Chen adjusted his emotions.

After calming down, he took out the map that Lin had given him before from his backpack and clicked on it to read it.

"It's not far from here."

The Spirit Tribe is some distance to the south of his current location, but with Su Chen's current speed, it's not too long before he can get there.

Su Chen didn't agree before, just because he wasn't sure if it would be dangerous for him to go to the Spirit Tribe, and he also wanted to explore the surroundings. Now that he knows the new effect of the forager, Su Chen doesn't have to worry anymore.

Putting away the map, Su Chen stood up decisively and decided to explore the south while heading to the Spirit Tribe.

"But before that, I can strengthen it first."

Su Chen thought of the black iron, grinned, and immediately opened the attribute panel to check the adaptability of the black iron used to strengthen some parts.

[Head adaptability: 7%. ]

[Chest adaptability: 12%. ]

[Internal organ adaptability: 3%. ]

[Torso adaptability: 78%. ]

"Sure enough, the torso has the highest adaptability."

Su Chen was not surprised by this result.

He now has some thoughts and understanding about adaptability. The adaptability should be whether the material matches the reinforced part, just like the wind blade, which can increase the speed, and the hind wings are also the same. The adaptability of the two is very high.

Black iron is a hard thing. For mantis, the hardest part is the body and forelimbs.

But his forelimbs have been strengthened and cannot be tried. Only the body has the highest adaptability.

"But if you look at it this way, the reinforcement materials for the head and internal organs are not so easy to find."

Su Chen murmured.

It is estimated that it is not only him, but other players are similar.

"Forget it, let's strengthen it first."

Shaking his head, Su Chen did not think deeply about this, but decisively chose to strengthen the body, and used black iron as the reinforcement material, and then confirmed the reinforcement.

With a buzzing sound.

A layer of white light immediately emerged on Su Chen's skin, and then gradually covered the whole body.

A sense of tightness from the skin emerged.

After a moment, the light faded.

Su Chen subconsciously looked down at his body.

The body that was green before has now turned into a black and gold color. Not only the body, but also the feet have changed, making Su Chen look like a hideous monster made of metal, with a sense of brutality all over his body.

At the same time, Su Chen clearly noticed the change in size.

It is bigger than before.

Su Chen found a puddle and observed himself more carefully through the reflection in the puddle, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"So damn handsome."

Compared with before, the appearance of the enhanced avatar has increased by more than one level.

The size is also similar to what Su Chen felt, reaching about 23 or 24 centimeters.

[Enhancement is successful, you have gained the ability: Iron Skin. ]

[Iron Skin: Your skin

Skin is as hard as iron, allowing you to withstand more damage and have stronger resistance to attacks. 】

"Is this the new ability? Not bad."

Su Chen looked at the introduction of the new ability and nodded slightly.

The acquisition of abilities is mostly related to materials, so it is not surprising to get such an ability.

Apart from anything else, this ability is very good in Su Chen's opinion. It not only greatly enhances the defense, but more importantly, the iron skin also includes the feet, which means that the incarnation of the mantis knife has also been hardened to a certain extent, which has greatly enhanced his attack power.

Looking at the attributes again, Su Chen's face showed a happy smile.

[Body: 8.1 (0.5) → (0.8)]

[Strength: 8.4 (0.5) → (0.8)]

[Speed: 8.2 (1.8) → (1.9)]

[Energy: 8.7 (0.1) → (0.1)]

Except for spirit, all other attributes have been improved, with physique and strength improving the most, and only 0.2 away from the one-point attribute.

Another enhancement has brought Su Chen's combat power to an increase.

"Now there are only three parts left to be enhanced."

After the remaining three parts are enhanced, you can start your first evolution.

A glimmer of expectation flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

It took some time for Su Chen to get familiar with the enhanced attributes, and then he explored the location of the spirit tribe without hesitation.

Under the forager's reconnaissance, Su Chen found nothing.

Passing a bush on the way, Su Chen took out the map and took a look. This was an area marked on the map, with a squirrel pattern drawn on it, which seemed to represent that there were squirrels known to the spiritual tribe living here.

Su Chen looked around and saw some rotten pine cones on the ground, but no shadow of the squirrel. When he was about to leave, a shadow covered his head and a strong wind blew, and his body instinctively produced fear.

Su Chen suddenly felt something was wrong, but he felt his body pierced before he could react. Before he died, he looked up and saw the figure of a big bird.

Darkness came.

There was a blood-red in front of him.

[You are dead. ]

"Damn, I forgot to guard against the threat from the sky."

In reality, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and after feeling the suffocation of death again, he couldn't help but start cursing.

There is no doubt that he was targeted by the bird that specializes in eating insects.

I thought I could live longer today, but I didn't expect death to come so suddenly.

It took Su Chen a while to calm down. He turned his head and looked out the window. The night sky was still the same, without any stars. There was a bustling noise coming from the streets in the early morning.

Touching his stomach, Su Chen felt a little hungry.
