Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The cave was full of holes, and the entrance was closed.

Su Chen jumped onto the entrance, facing the dark passage leading to the underground, and said to the little man. "Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome, this is my mission."

The little man waved his hand, stepped into the cave, and motioned Su Chen to follow, then pressed a bump next to him, the stone gate mechanism started, and the entrance was closed.

Then the little man took out a green plant body from his waist pouch, gently rubbed it against the wall, and the green fluorescence immediately emitted, dispelling the darkness.

Su Chen was surprised. "What is this?"

"This? A part of the green light mushroom, a mushroom that generates light as long as it is rubbed. Is this your first time seeing it?" The little man explained.

Su Chen nodded.

The little man smiled. "Then this should be your first time to our spiritual tribe, right?"

"Yes."

"Haha, then you will be in for a treat."

Su Chen's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked curiously. "Why do you say that?"

The little man looked mysterious. "You will know in a while."

After he finished speaking, he began to lead the way in front with concentration, and the passage led to the underground at a 90-degree angle.

As he led the way, the little man said. "You'd better follow closely, there will be many passages in front of you, leading in all directions, and it's easy to get lost in them if you're not careful."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded to show that he knew.

Soon, the passage reached the end, or rather, it reached the underground.

The originally dim scene disappeared, replaced by an underground space emitting bright light everywhere.

In the passages that extended in all directions, mushrooms and weeds emitting different lights grew, and on the rock walls above and around him, there were pieces of crystals shining with various colors.

This seemed like a colorful underground world, which made Su Chen open his eyes wide for a moment. It was the first time he saw such a fantastic scene, and he subconsciously exclaimed.

"Haha, it's beautiful, isn't it?" The little man laughed proudly.

Su Chen came back to his senses, nodded, and admired sincerely. "It's really beautiful. Is it naturally formed?"

"How is that possible? These are all planted by our spirits. Those crystals are already here, a lot, but they are of no value."

The little man said. "Many insects come here and think it's beautiful, but that's nothing. When you come to our tribe, you will know that it's amazing. There are many of our masterpieces."

"I'll wait and see."

After the little man said this, Su Chen looked forward to it.

Although it is not known what this trip will gain, this pleasing scenery also makes people feel happy and gain a lot.

"Follow me."

The little man waved his hand and took Su Chen to move forward.

On the way, Su Chen pointed to some mushrooms on both sides of the road and asked. "Can I pick these mushrooms?"

"Yes, as long as they are picked more."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded and immediately happily collected some plants.

Although these mushrooms are useless in the mouth of the little man, they may not be useless to humans. Even if they are really useless, it is not bad to take them back as decorations.

When playing games in the past, Su Chen liked to be a garbage man, specializing in picking up garbage in some open world games, and there was a pleasure of satisfying the desire to collect.

While following behind the little man, Su Chen waved his hand and collected plants on both sides.

[You picked up the green light mushroom. ]

[You picked up the purple light mushroom. ]

[You picked up the night-light grass. ]

[You picked up the broken long knife. ]

"Huh?"

It seems that he picked up something unexpected.

Su Chen was startled and quickly opened his backpack to check.

[Broken long sword: damaged equipment, once belonged to a swordsman from the spirit race, but unfortunately, after years of erosion, this weapon has long been damaged. ]

"It's actually a piece of equipment, but it's a pity that it's damaged."

Su Chen was surprised.

He naturally knew a lot about equipment, after all, he would peek at the forum from time to time.

In the Shanhaijing game, equipment is not used to equip the incarnation, but like materials, it can be used as materials for strengthening and evolution.

Even in many blood maps, there is a demand for equipment.

And the effect of equipment as a strengthening and evolution material is surprisingly good.

For example, if you use a sword as a material for strengthening, then after strengthening, you will not only gain related abilities, but also have a higher probability of gaining talents.

The improvement of attributes is also very high.

But it's not

Not all equipment can be used.

Ordinary equipment cannot even obtain abilities, let alone talents.

Only the ancient and precious equipment can be used, or the equipment of a powerful person in the past.

According to the introduction, the broken long sword in Su Chen's hand once belonged to a swordsman. It should be very suitable as a reinforcement material, but it is a pity that it is damaged.

Su Chen closed his backpack, his mouth slightly raised, and he was still happy in his heart.

After all, it was an unexpected gain, and maybe it can be repaired? Then it will be a big profit.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that there are such precious materials on both sides of the road. I can pay close attention to it next."

Su Chen murmured, and subconsciously activated the forager talent to sense the surroundings.

If you don't sense it, you won't know. Once you sense it, Su Chen's breathing will be subconsciously rapid.

In all directions, there is a feeling that makes his body desire!

Of course, some of these directions also make him palpitate.

But this is enough to make Su Chen ecstatic!

"There are so many opportunities in this underground passage?"

Su Chen's heart was burning, but the timing was wrong, otherwise he would have turned around immediately.

Su Chen took a deep breath and did not show any abnormality. After gradually calming himself down, he carefully felt and silently remembered the direction of these opportunities.

He planned to get them one by one when he had time later.

During this period, Su Chen did not forget to pick up items on both sides of the road. Unfortunately, apart from ordinary plants, he did not get any items like broken long knives.

"Come on, we are here."

After picking up a green light mushroom again, the voice of the little man in front came.

Hearing this, Su Chen immediately looked up and saw an archway in the distance ahead. Two spirits stood outside the archway, seemingly guarding.

"Are we finally here?"

Su Chen's mouth corners raised, with a hint of expectation in his heart.

Through the archway, Su Chen saw part of the scene inside the spirit tribe.

Huge, sturdy ancient trees stand in the underground space, like tree houses of elves. Holes are dug out on them to form residences, and they are decorated with various plants, making them look very beautiful, like an underground forest of elves.

Bridges connect the trees, forming layers of stairs.

Under the big trees, there are wide avenues, and all kinds of insects walk on the roads, which dazzles Su Chen.

Dragonflies, cockroaches, beetles, butterflies...

The prosperous atmosphere hits you in the face.

It is said to be a tribe, but it looks no less than a city!
