Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

Chapter 209

The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next day.

"Desert mantis?"

Looking down at the two tiny figures below, Su Chen's eyes flashed with surprise.

His thoughts moved slightly, and he said lightly. "Step aside first."

"Yes."

Seeing the king's response, the two mantises looked fanatical and respectfully stepped aside.

Then, the devouring touch on Su Chen's body emanated, and he instantly swam to the bodies of the rock giants, ready to devour them.

But the next second, Su Chen frowned.

"The bodies of these rock giants can't be devoured?"

According to his perception, the bodies of these rock giants have completely turned into pure rocks, no longer containing any energy.

It seems that after the death of these rock giants, the energy in their bodies will return to the earth and cannot be absorbed.

This makes Su Chen feel pity.

After all, these rock giants are huge. If they can be absorbed, the evolutionary points they get will definitely not be less than those of the giant beasts in Lingxu.

It is enough to make his own evolutionary points surge!

"Forget it, if there is no energy, then there is no energy."

"At least the other things are still preserved."

Thinking of this, Su Chen's mouth corners rose, and the mantis knife swung, and the body of a rock giant was split open, and a touch of metallic luster immediately emerged.

It was a piece of earthy yellow metal in the mountain body transformed from the rock giant's body, emitting an obviously extraordinary brilliance, about the size of a basketball and round.

The brilliance of the divine eyes swayed in Su Chen's pupils, and the detailed information immediately appeared in his mind.

[The rock essence born in the rock giant is a special metal with extremely strong adaptability. It can be forged with any extraordinary metal, but each rock essence is completely different. The effect of rock essence will be enhanced or weakened to different degrees according to the life of the rock giant. Some rock essences will have unique effects, such as being harder, more resilient, etc. 】

"Metal suitable for forging?"

Su Chen's eyes flickered, and he immediately put it into his backpack without rushing to check whether it is suitable as his own reinforcement material.

Even if this metal is not suitable as Su Chen's reinforcement material, it is particularly precious. Its value lies in its suitability for forging extraordinary equipment.

Based on Su Chen's insights into extraordinary equipment, this is an indispensable weapon for future players.

It's okay in the game, after all, it's a beast body, which may not be suitable for mastering weapons.

But in reality, if you want to fully exert your own strength, regardless of whether you have hidden cold weapon talents or not, you need an extraordinary weapon.

Therefore, these rock essences are very valuable.

And there are many rock giant corpses around.

Su Chen's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately swung the mantis knife, bursting out a series of sharp slashes, splitting all the corpses of those rock giants.

The rock essence inside was revealed.

Such a scene shocked the two desert mantises.

"Is this the power of the king?"

"The king is so strong!"

There was an incomparable fanaticism in the mantis' eyes.

For Su Chen, they were almost more fanatical than the beetles in the beetle kingdom and even the queens in the ant nest, from the soul and from the blood.

Because they are mantises.

They are the same species as Su Chen!

And as the same species, seeing such a powerful mantis king made their fanaticism far exceed that of other insects!

Su Chen did not care about the thoughts of the two desert mantises, but checked the rock essences one by one, and put them into his backpack for storage after checking each one.

Among these rock essences, as introduced, although most of the introductions are exactly the same, there are also two completely different effects.

One is harder.

The other surprised Su Chen.

[A special rock essence, which has a unique effect and the ability to breed mineral veins. If it is placed in a place and energy-containing objects are placed around it for it to absorb, it will dissipate its own energy and form mineral veins around it. The formed mineral veins will have an impact according to the surrounding environment. 】

"Fuck!"

This introduction made Su Chen burst into swearing in his heart.

If he hadn't considered that there were two desert mantises next to him, he would have suppressed the shock in his heart and almost blurted it out in order to maintain his status as the insect king.

But even so, his eyes were still full of surprise!

This was a completely unexpected surprise.

In the rock essence

, it turned out that such a special metal with such unique ability could be born, which could breed mineral veins, and the mineral veins bred were not fixed, but would be generated according to the surrounding environment.

In an instant, Su Chen thought of his own world.

There are many environments in his own world.

Destruction thundercloud, sword forest, etc.

If this is placed in it, will it also breed metal mineral veins with corresponding properties?

When Su Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

This rock essence is equivalent to bringing him huge wealth.

And this is not the useful treasure that Su Chen sensed.

"Blood profit!"

Su Chen murmured.

At this moment, even if there is no treasure he sensed, he still made a lot of money by coming here!

"Huh."

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen suppressed the shock in his heart for a long time, put it in his backpack, and came to the body of the last rock giant.

In the body of this rock giant, there is the treasure he sensed.

Therefore, the previous slashes he made did not split it.

Not that it could not.

But the surprise should be saved for the end.

With a wheeze.

As Su Chen swung the mantis knife and burst out a slash, the corpse was split open, and the silver light suddenly bloomed brilliantly.

"This is..."

Su Chen's expression was shocked, and he immediately felt the extraordinary treasure in it.

It was a metal that looked similar to the rock essence, but the color was completely different, showing a bright silver light.

With his eyes swaying, Su Chen immediately checked the information of this metal.

[A special rock essence, with strong toughness, strength, and strong resistance to extraordinary power, even the terrible thunder and the strong wind that corrodes the flesh cannot damage it. ]

"It is indeed a special rock essence."

Su Chen murmured, with a gleam in his eyes.

As expected, this is the reinforcement material suitable for him.

He put it directly into his backpack, then opened the properties and checked the parts to be strengthened.

After a while, the result came out.

[Body adaptability: 93%. ]

"What a high adaptability."

Su Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and he took a breath of cold air in his heart.

93% adaptability is rare in previous strengthening.

This shows that this rock essence is indeed very suitable for him.

"Not bad."

Su Chen closed the property panel, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

In this way, he can start the fourth strengthening at any time.

However, after looking at the two mantises in the distance, Su Chen suppressed the idea of strengthening immediately in his heart, but stepped into his own world with a thought.

He looked around, thought for a while, took out the rock essence that could breed mineral veins in his backpack, stepped into the sword forest, dug a pit, and buried it in it.

After thinking about it, Su Chen felt that it was best to put it in the sword forest.

Others, such as the Thunder of Destruction, etc., may also breed good extraordinary metal veins, but these extraordinary metals with these properties are not uncommon outside.

In contrast, metals related to knives are really rare.

So he put it here.

And later, Su Chen took out all the energy-containing resources in his backpack and buried them next to the rock essence, allowing it to absorb energy and breed mineral veins.

"Let's just put the other rock essences here."

Su Chen thought about it and took out the other rock essences.

If it was before, he would definitely be reluctant to give it up, but now it's another matter.

Other rock essences are definitely valuable to him, but they will not affect his evolution and strengthening, so he has to look long-term. As long as he can breed the mineral veins here as much as possible, he can get more.

Therefore, he did not hold back.

He even almost emptied his backpack, leaving only some useful items such as the Hundred Poison Water.

After doing all this, Su Chen filled the soil back in, stepped on the ground, and raised an expectant smile. "I hope you can breed it as soon as possible and give me a surprise."

The veins bred in the sword forest.

It's really exciting!

After doing everything, Su Chen left his world.

His figure appeared again in the previous position.

The two desert mantises originally thought that the king had left here, which made them feel very disappointed.

At this moment, when they saw the queen again, they knew that the king had not left. They were excited and saluted again.

Su Chen only had time to observe the two desert mantises at this time. Compared with other mantises, the desert mantis seemed to be thinner.

But there are also outstanding places

The hind wings under their carapaces seemed to be larger, and their skin color blended with the surrounding environment. Indistinctly, their breath was restrained, making it difficult to detect.

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

This is a mantis that is good at hiding.

"Tell me your names."

Su Chen said lightly.

Upon hearing this, the two desert mantises spoke quickly.

"King, my name is Feng."

"King, my name is Chen."

Wind and Chen?

Su Chen looked at them with a majestic look and said lightly. "Tell me the purpose of your audience with me."

The desert mantis named Feng lowered his head, with supreme respect in his tone.

"King, we sensed your breath from a distance, so we came here to meet you."

"But... we also have a request."
