Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The king was very happy, but he was not ashamed.

Under Su Chen's surprised eyes, the elder said. "King, you may not know that I have a long life, know many things, and have seen many things, so when the previous monarch was in power, I helped the monarch deal with domestic affairs in the palace."

"Therefore, I know many things in the kingdom."

"The royal family of the Beetle Kingdom has always had the same goal."

"The same goal?" Su Chen's eyes flickered, and he vaguely guessed something. "You mean... King Cheng?"

"That's right."

The elder nodded. "Since the first monarch lost his status as the king of insects, he has always wanted to return to the nest, but he did not achieve this goal until his death. This has become an obsession."

"It is not only the obsession of the first monarch, but also the obsession of the entire royal descendants."

"It is just that the monarchs after the first monarch, while eager to complete this obsession, will not forget to make the Beetle Kingdom better."

"Only the current monarch is a rotten wood that cannot be carved!"

The elder said with disgust in his eyes. "In order to become stronger, be selected by the nest of insects, and obtain the qualifications of a king, he has been using various methods to make himself stronger since he became the monarch."

"Even if many of these methods hurt the beetles, he doesn't care."

"I advised him many times, but he was perfunctory."

"Until the end, he was bewitched by the poison masters."

The elder is the one who has lived the longest in the Beetle Kingdom. Because he helped the monarch deal with state affairs, he knows many things and even knows the source of everything that is happening in the Beetle Kingdom.

In the words of the elder, Su Chen finally understood why there were so many poison masters here.

In the capital palace of the Beetle Kingdom, there is a teleportation array.

That was the teleportation array left by the original king. It was originally built to facilitate the original king to go out for exploration. Only after the palace was confirmed, the creatures on the other side could be teleported in.

After the death of the original king, this teleportation array was also preserved, so that his descendants could also leave the Beetle Kingdom through the teleportation array and go to some dangerous places to hone themselves.

But there are also many risks in this, because on the other side of the teleportation array is the desert, which is an extremely dangerous place.

The previous monarch died in the desert training. Although he returned successfully, he was dying.

This created the timid character of the current monarch. He was afraid to go for training, and the teleportation array was never used once, so it can be said that it was abandoned.

But the contemporary monarch is eager to become powerful.

This led to the beginning of changes in the Beetle Kingdom.

Until the appearance of the poison master, the elders could actually handle it, but the appearance of the poison master led to the civil strife in the Beetle Kingdom.

Those poison masters originated from the desert. They found the teleportation array left by the original king in the desert at some point, and contacted the contemporary monarch through the teleportation array.

Under some instigation, the contemporary monarch believed the words of the poison master, opened the teleportation array, and let the poison master appear in the royal family.

Before this, the elders advised him not to open the teleportation array, thinking that the poison master was not friendly, but unfortunately there was no effect.

The fact is just as the elders thought, the poison masters controlled the contemporary monarch as soon as they were teleported.

The control method is also very simple, hypnosis.

That is a special toxin that only a few poison masters in the poison master clan can master, the hypnotic poison.

At first, the elders didn't know it, but later they realized that something was wrong and understood the situation. They were originally thinking about finding a way to save the contemporary monarch.

But he was driven out of the palace by the hypnotized monarch.

Because of a series of subsequent events, the elders could no longer tolerate the kingdom's death at the hands of poison masters, so they formed this beetle army, ready to wait for the right time to attack the capital and kill all the poison masters.

After listening, Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and suddenly understood why You Lan laughed like a mocker when he asked You Lan about the poison master clan.

Perhaps You Lan guessed the situation in the Beetle Kingdom at the first time, which is why it happened.

A descendant of the insect king was hypnotized by the poison master!

It is indeed ridiculous.

No wonder You Lan is like this.

But what makes him feel even more outrageous is the character of the current monarch of the Beetle Kingdom.

Because he was afraid and did not dare to pass the tradition

Sending Zhen to go out for training, but wanting to become stronger, thus torturing the people of his kingdom...

This is simply a complete tyrant!

No wonder the elder in front of him was so angry and called him a pest.

As the other party helped the previous monarch deal with domestic affairs, and then helped the current monarch to clean up the mess, it was amazing that he could endure for so long.

If it were Su Chen himself, he would probably kill the other party as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Su Chen shook his head and said. "I know what's going on in the Beetle Kingdom, so when do you plan to attack the capital?"

"Tomorrow!"

The elder gave a firm answer.

"So soon?"

Su Chen was surprised.

"Not so soon, King, we have been preparing for a long time."

"And there is no time."

Under Su Chen's puzzled eyes, the elder explained. "Before I was driven out of the palace, I learned from some poison masters about their purpose. They came here to promote themselves and become stronger. This requires a large number of insects for experiments. I am afraid that if I delay, the poison masters will complete the experiments and become stronger."

"So, we must do it as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Su Chen's expression moved, and he instantly thought of the poison master's secret record he had obtained before.

"Hundred poisonous insect bodies?"

As expected, it is very likely that this is the case.

The state of the poison master who fought with Hei Fu and others before finally erupted made him think of this.

Maybe... the poison masters really researched something.

Even ordinary poison masters can instantly increase their strength by twice, and more powerful poison masters are undoubtedly more terrifying.

"If it were me before evolution, I'm afraid I would not be a match."

Su Chen murmured in his heart.

At this time, the voice of the elder sounded.

"King, you came to the Beetle Kingdom, you must want to go to the desert, right?"

Hmm?

Su Chen looked at it, pondered for a while, and asked. "Do you know anything about the desert?"

"I know a little."

The elder nodded quickly and said. "Because the monarchs of previous generations would go to the desert, there is a lot of information about the desert in the kingdom."

"It is a desert land with no end in sight. There used to be many mountains, but because of the end of the last era, many new things have appeared, and the desert has become much wider and full of countless dangers, such as quicksand, poison, high temperature, lack of water, etc. The environment is particularly harsh."

"There are even many powerful desert creatures living there."

"But the first monarch once said that it is dangerous, but it is also a treasure land."

"Many ancient relics are buried there."

"It's just..."

"If you want to go to the desert, only the teleportation array can do it."

Teleportation array...

Su Chen's eyes flickered.

For him, the Beetle Kingdom is just a place he passes by and he won't stay for long, just like the Ten Thousand Insects Forest.

After realizing that this place has no improvement for him, he will leave.

Therefore, if he really left the Beetle Kingdom, he should indeed run towards the desert.

"Wait."

Suddenly, Su Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at the elder. "Did you just say the last era?"

"Uh, yes, king."

The elder was a little flustered by Su Chen's sudden reaction, but he still said quickly. "This is what the first monarch once said. It once said that after each era, this land will become more vast. The end of each era makes the current land vast and endless."

Su Chen was shocked and asked. "Do you know the news about the last era?"

The elder shook his head. "I'm sorry, king, the news I have learned is all left by the previous monarchs, and I don't know the details."

"Okay."

Su Chen was disappointed when he heard it.

The beginning of the era, he now knows, if nothing unexpected happens, represents the public beta of the game.

The end of the era, what is it? The game is shut down?

How can it be shut down?

Su Chen's mind flashed back to what he had seen in the Flesh and Blood Secret Realm.

Could it be... the destruction of the world?

Then why did the land of Shanhaijing expand after the end of the era?

Could it be...

Su Chen looked at the elder deeply, then looked at the beetles outside the building, and suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

Su Chen took a deep breath and asked. "The desert can only be reached by teleportation array?"

"Yes, King."

"In addition to the teleportation array, if you want to go to the desert, you either have to go through the Tianyuan or cross the Huangsha River, but those two places..."

The elder showed some fear on his face.

"The Tianyuan is a huge abyss, filled with the breath of destruction,

Any creature flying over it will fall into it and be swallowed by it. It is said that it was caused by another king fighting with a supreme divine bird. "

"And the Yellow Sand River..."

"It is a spacious river, which will swallow everything like the Abyss. Ancient life rests in the river, and will swallow any creature that approaches. "

"Our Beetle Kingdom has been able to stand here safely for thousands of years, thanks to the protection of these two natural barriers. "

Hearing this, Su Chen's heart moved slightly.

The Yellow Sand River didn't know.

But why does this abyss sound familiar?

It was caused by a battle between a king and a divine bird...

Hiss!

It can't be the memory related to the black bird that I checked before, right?

A trace of a fallen insect king fighting with the black bird...

Tsk, it's interesting.

Su Chen's heart aroused a lot of interest, and he wanted to go and see it.

But at the moment, it was another question.

"In other words, if you want to go to the desert, you can only go through the teleportation array in the palace?"

"Yes."

The elder carefully looked at the changes on Su Chen's face, then gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said sincerely. "King, although I know it's a bit sudden, I still want to ask for your help. "

"I hope that with your help, the Beetle Kingdom can be restored to its former appearance!"

"Hehe! "

Su Chen smiled faintly at this, without any surprise.

In fact, after coming here, he sensed some of the elder's thoughts.

However, he didn't mind.

"Poison Master..."

He would go and see Tianyuan and Huangsha River.

Whether he could pass through or not, these two places aroused his curiosity.

As for the Poison Master...

Su Chen smiled faintly and asked. "There should be a treasure house in the palace, right?"

"Ah?"

The elder looked up, facing Su Chen's question, with a look of surprise, but still nodded quickly.

Su Chen asked. "Are there any treasures in the treasure house?"

The elder thought for a while and said seriously. "Yes, there are some treasures found by successive monarchs when they traveled in the desert, and there are also some treasures found in the kingdom."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Very good, it's OK. "

"I agree to your request."

"But I will take those treasures!"

After evolving, he also needs some suitable materials to start his third round of strengthening.

The royal treasury of the Beetle Kingdom...

There must be some good things, right?

Su Chen thought to himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

After hearing Su Chen's words, the elder's face suddenly showed ecstasy!

......

The update is late, mainly because I don't know what the electric drill was doing upstairs in the middle of the night, which made people irritated.
