Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The forest is full of people.

A group of figures are moving forward quickly.

Among them are people wearing black robes and huge and ferocious beasts.

The last beast, which looks like an orangutan, is holding a bound orc in his hand.

Su Chen stands far behind, hiding his figure and watching them.

"Cultists..."

"Beast players..."

"And orcs..."

Su Chen's eyes flickered, which is why he told Tang Wei to act separately.

Because his wind told these people to come.

And from the direction these people are moving, it is not difficult to see that they are heading to the location of the orc tribe.

"Sure enough, these guys do have some information about Lingxu, but I don't know if it's the cultists or the beast players who have the information?"

"Where does this information come from?"

"Reality? Or the game?"

Su Chen's eyes swept over those figures one by one, and the marks on the cultists' black robes also made his eyes flicker.

"The Beast Mother Sect..."

"It's no wonder that a cult that deals with beasts would get involved."

Su Chen remembered very clearly that the Lord of Gold was praised as the source of the bloodline of beasts on earth. Whether it was the members of the Beast Mother Sect or the evil gods they believed in, it was normal to be interested.

Just...

Su Chen looked at the dying orc in the gorilla's hand and sneered in his heart.

"These orcs really have a conspiracy."

They looked like they were about to die, and there was fear in their eyes, as if they were afraid of death.

If Su Chen hadn't known the abilities of the orcs, he would probably have believed it.

Such a gesture was undoubtedly intended to confuse these cultists and beast players.

"So... they may have some information about the Lingxu, but they don't know much about the orcs."

Su Chen touched his chin and murmured in his heart.

After thinking for a while, he followed them.

After a while, he followed these people to the orc tribe.

Relying on the ability of Fengyin, and the long distance between them, Su Chen almost only relied on the perception of the wind to spy on the whereabouts of these people, so that they did not find Su Chen following behind.

"It's here."

"According to what the orc said, that place is in the innermost part."

When they came to the orc cave, a cultist murmured, his eyes full of fiery color.

Hearing this, the huge rat king walking in the front nodded slowly, and his spiritual pupils seemed to think of something, and also showed fiery color.

"Rat King..."

Su Chen's eyes passed over the Rat King without looking at him for too long. Too much attention might attract the other party's attention.

But the existence of this Rat King reminded him of the previous rat tide.

"Maybe it was the work of this Rat King..."

He could feel that both the Rat King and these cultists were very powerful, but if he took action, Su Chen was confident that he could kill a group of people and leave safely.

But he still wanted to see if he could get more information.

As these people stepped into the cave and walked all the way to the end.

Gradually, the passage in the cave began to go down and lead to the underground.

There were forks in many places.

At this time, a beast player would ask the orcs to point out the right way.

Finally, they came to a big door.

"It's here, we're finally here, hahaha, inside the door is our destination." A cultist couldn't help laughing excitedly.

But the next moment, he was interrupted by the cold voice of the Rat King.

"Don't be happy too soon. According to what the orc said, this is their tribe, but we didn't see a single orc. Don't you think it's strange?"

"Hmm?"

The cultist turned his head and looked at him with a serious look. "What does His Majesty the Rat King mean?"

"Maybe those humans arrived here one step ahead of us." The Rat King said gloomily.

Hearing this, the cultist's face changed slightly. "Then we can't delay. We have to speed up."

After saying this, he immediately ordered someone to push the door open, but a group of cultists came forward and burst out their greatest strength, and the door still did not move.

"Don't waste your energy. It can't be pushed open by strength alone."

The Rat King said lightly.

Hearing this, the cultist's eyes flickered. "Oh? So, His Majesty the Rat King has a way?"

"Humph

, you just watch. "

The Rat King sneered and gestured.

The gorilla holding the orc immediately waved its claws at the orc, and a wound appeared on the orc's chest, and blood gushed out.

Holding a handful of blood, the gorilla put his hand on the door and pushed hard.

With a rumble, the door was slowly pushed open.

A golden underground space came into view.

The cultist smiled grimly. "So that's why His Majesty the Rat King wants to bring this orc with him?"

"Hehe, what else do you think?" The Rat King sneered and walked towards the door.

The cultists naturally followed the Rat King's footsteps and stepped into the door.

The next moment, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked solemn.

"What a heavy feeling..."

"This sense of oppression..."

"Divine power? Even if it is a long-dead god's body, it still exudes divine power? "

The cultist turned his head and looked at the Rat King, saying. "Speaking of which, Your Highness the Rat King, you should reveal more information, right?"

"After all, I have always been suspicious of your source of information?"

"Even now, we have come here, but who knows if you have any conspiracy? You are right?"

Hearing this, the Rat King turned his head suddenly, staring at the cultist coldly, with a hint of murderous intent rising from his body.

But the cultist just stared at the Rat King with a faint smile, turned his palm, and a drop of black blood appeared in his hand.

"What? Your Highness the Rat King wants to fight with me?"

"If Your Highness the Rat King is willing, I don't mind trying Your Highness the Rat King's strength. "

Looking at the drop of blood, the Rat King's eyes were full of fear.

Even Su Chen was the same.

"Blood of the evil god..."

Su Chen's eyes were solemn. These cultists really carried this thing, but he didn't know whether it was diluted or undiluted.

If it was undiluted, it would be a bit troublesome.

"But I didn't expect that the one who mastered the source of information in Lingxu was actually a beast player."

Su Chen's eyes fell on the Rat King, a little confused.

A beast player, I don't know how he got the information.

It's unlikely in reality.

It's very likely in the game.

While Su Chen was thinking, the Rat King said coldly. "Put away the disgusting blood. If you want to know, it's okay to tell you."

"Oh? Is Your Highness the Rat King finally willing to tell you? "

Hearing this, the cultist smiled lightly, the black blood on his palm disappeared, and then he looked at the Rat King.

The Rat King didn't waste any words, and an ancient parchment scroll appeared out of thin air in front of him, floating in the air, emitting a faint golden light.

"What is that?"

Su Chen looked at the parchment scroll from afar, his eyes flickered, and felt the same brilliance as that emitted from the golden scales.

The Rat King said lightly. "This is a distress scroll from the Golden Cultist."

"A distress scroll from the Golden Cultist?"

The cultist was stunned and asked. "From the game?"

"Nonsense."

The Rat King looked at the cultist as if he was looking at an idiot, and then said. "This king got it from an ancient temple, and it appeared out of thin air in front of the statue."

"I remember the appearance of that statue, a mighty golden lion. "

"In the temple, I learned the name of the god and his followers, called the Golden Cultists."

"This parchment is the Golden Cultists' letter for help."

With a wave of his right hand, the parchment appeared in the Rat King's hand. Su Chen had a very good vision and could see that there was no text on the parchment.

Just as he was puzzled, a desperate voice suddenly came from the parchment.

"My name is Lasaka, and I am a descendant of the Golden Cultists."

"Our great god is dead."

"He died in the place where he was born."

"The body of the god is buried here."

"But we are also trapped here."

"We are about to die, and it is the supreme honor to die for the protection of the body of the god."

"But we will all die in the end. After we die, the body of the god will be left unattended."

"A group of ignorant beasts obtained the legacy of the god before his death and became greedy, trying to devour the body of the god. "

"For this, I desecrated the corpse of God, wrote this letter with the power left by God, and delivered it to a temple."

"If any Golden Cultist sees this letter, please come and help us, so that we can continue to guard the corpse of God after we die."

"Take this letter, it will help you find where we are!"

The voice ended here.

The cultist turned his head and looked at the Rat King. "This is... your source of information?"

"Yes."

The Rat King nodded and said in a deep voice.

"In addition, I also learned more about the Lord of Gold in that temple."

"I see."

"But..."

The cultist asked. "How do you know that the remains of the Lord of Gold are in this spiritual ruins?"

"Of course it's because it senses something."

The Rat King's eyes flashed with a fiery color, and he grinned. "The moment I took it out in reality, it shone with golden light. That period of time was exactly the time when the spiritual ruins were about to appear."

"So, the result is obvious, isn't it?"

After that, the Rat King put away the parchment and said. "So, do you have any more questions?"

"No." The cultist shook his head.

"Hmph, then keep going and don't waste time."

The Rat King snorted coldly and went to the depths of the golden land.

Behind them, Su Chen widened his eyes and looked shocked.

If he heard it correctly, that voice sounded familiar!

It seemed to be... the voice of the old priest?
