Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The huge statue, in the forager's induction, conveyed a trace of joy and palpitations.

Treasures and dangers, unexpectedly, are all in it.

Su Chen's eyes flickered, his whole body tensed, and he immediately slashed with a knife.

A huge crack instantly appeared on the stone statue, as if a hard shell split from the middle, revealing the items inside.

A doll of the same color as the yellow sand immediately appeared in front of him.

Su Chen's previous slash split the statue, but did not split the doll together, but only left a deep knife mark on it.

The doll was made of some unknown metal, exuding luster, and was two meters tall, which was very oppressive.

Its body and head were full of roundness.

With a buzzing sound.

A bright light suddenly lit up in the pupils of the puppet.

Su Chen's sharp aura burst out, and the mantis knife swung, and the strong wind carried the thunder of destruction, and a layer of wind knife intent turned into a sharp slash.

The air was split.

Continuous sound effects exploded!

The sound of cloth tearing flashed by.

The knife marks that penetrated the puppet's chest deepened further, directly splitting it completely.

With a bang, the puppet fell to the ground in two, making a muffled sound.

"Is it solved?"

Su Chen whispered and exhaled.

Although he didn't fight with this puppet, it was obvious that the puppet that could withstand his slash once and needed two slashes to destroy it was extraordinary.

I don't know who sealed it in the statue, perhaps as the guardian of the treasure.

However, the person who sealed the puppet probably never thought that he would encounter someone like Su Chen in the future. With his incomparably sharp slash, he did not give the puppet a chance to fully recover, and killed the puppet.

"If it fully recovers, this puppet may have the strength of a fierce king."

It may be wolf-level.

In short, it is in this range.

Thinking of this, Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Such a powerful puppet should have good things, right?"

If nothing else, the materials for making it should be available, right?

And...

Su Chen's thoughts moved, and the Devouring Touch extended and flew towards the puppet.

He wanted to see if the puppet could be devoured.

The result was obvious.

The Devouring Touch connected to the remains of the puppet in an instant, and immediately began to devour.

The display box in front of him popped up, and the prompt to obtain evolution points immediately appeared.

[Evolution points +10. ]

[Evolution points +10. ]

[Evolution points +10. 】

【......】

"Hiss, so many?"

Su Chen looked at the prompt and was surprised. He had obtained a total of 100 evolution points from this puppet, which was no different from the giant beasts in Lingxu.

"Is it because of the material of this puppet?"

Su Chen murmured.

His eyes were fixed on the remains of the puppet. Under the absorption of the Devouring Touch, the remains of the puppet flattened at a speed visible to the naked eye, unlike the ordinary creatures that only left a skin after being devoured.

The puppet in front of him seemed to have been decayed by time and turned into dust and weathered.

But in the position of the puppet's remains, there were two items left, a treasure box and a jade bead emitting bright light.

Seeing these two things, Su Chen's eyes immediately brightened a lot.

"The treasure box should be the treasure I sensed."

"As for this jade bead, I think it is the material left after the doll was swallowed."

Thinking of this, Su Chen put the two things into his backpack, and then clicked the treasure box to open it. A bead with some green and brown interweaving appeared.

[Guidance Bead: A special bead that guides creatures to a place. Its effect is only once and will lose its effect after reaching the destination. 】

"Guidance Bead?"

Su Chen frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

This introduction...

Guiding creatures to a place?

Where?

Somewhere in the ruins?

Or outside the ruins?

Su Chen took the bead out of his backpack, and the bead immediately flashed. Looking at the light, Su Chen immediately had a feeling in his heart.

It seemed that this flashing light was pointing in a direction.

A very strange thought.

It was obviously just light, but it gave him a feeling as if he was looking at an arrow.

"Is this the guidance?"

Su Chen muttered, following

Looking in the direction indicated by the light, his eyes flashed with understanding.

It was not inside the ruins, but outside the ruins.

"In other words, the place that guides the living beings to is another location in the desert, not the ruins?"

I don't know where the destination will be.

Another city ruins of the Desert Empire?

Or a treasure trove?

"It can make me feel happy, which means that the place where this bead guides me to must have something that can help me, so I still have to go and take a look."

"But... let's talk about it later."

At this stage, the main focus is still on exploring the ruins.

Thinking of this, Su Chen looked at another jade bead, which was the material dropped from the doll.

After clicking, its information also appeared in front of him.

[Earth Energy Core: The energy core extracted from the rock giants by the strong men of the ancient Desert Empire contains the power of the earth and can serve as an energy supplement. When placed on the earth, it will automatically absorb the power of the earth for charging. 】

"An energy core?"

"I wonder if it can be used as an evolution material."

Su Chen silently activated his talent and felt it. As a touch of joy rose in his heart, Su Chen's eyes were surprised.

"It actually works?"

He opened the properties and immediately checked the enhanced parts that matched this earth energy core.

Soon, the results came out, which surprised Su Chen.

[Chest adaptability: 91%. 】

After thinking about it, Su Chen thought that it would be suitable for other parts, but he didn't expect it to be chest.

And the adaptability exceeded 90%.

"I didn't expect it, there was an unexpected surprise."

Su Chen couldn't stop smiling.

I thought the treasure I could get here was the guiding bead, but I never thought that I could get the material suitable for my own enhancement from the doll's body.

"Good stuff."

Su Chen smiled and put it in his backpack, and didn't choose to enhance it immediately.

After all, this is not a safe place. There are scorpions around, and sometimes there may be some treasure hunters coming here. If you want to strengthen, you should wait until you leave here.

After closing the backpack, Su Chen walked out of the temple.

With a thought, the blood map in his mind emerged, and he saw the location of his followers.

"Are you on the way back to the tribe?"

"When you find another treasure, you can consider leaving first."

Su Chen murmured.

When he returns to the desert mantis tribe again, he can take all the desert mantises into his own world.

Although the space in the world is not large, except for his followers, most desert mantises are not large enough to accommodate them.

With the followers, it will be much easier for him to move next.

Especially when he is about to go to the rift.

Thinking of this, Su Chen took a deep breath, stopped thinking, and turned his head to walk in the direction of another sense.

Of the remaining two locations where treasures were sensed, one gave him a sense of danger.

He went to the treasure where he had not sensed any danger.

"The place with danger may be the place that Tarn and the other two mentioned earlier."

Su Chen thought secretly in his heart, and the danger was, as expected, the puppet that Tarn had mentioned earlier.

He thought of the puppet he had killed.

That should be the guard developed by the Desert Empire. Compared with the puppet he had killed before, the puppet he sensed now seemed to be stronger.

"With the current strength of the treasure hunters in the ruins, no one can solve it, so there is no need to rush."

"Wait until you get the treasure at the second location and leave. It will be the same if you come back tomorrow."

"But..."

Su Chen looked behind him with a veiled look, sneered in his heart, and didn't care. He sped up and moved forward.

In the ruins of Norda, Su Chen was very fast and caused a lot of noise.

Therefore, the roar sounded, and many scorpions sleeping in the ruins were awakened and surrounded Su Chen.

"Get out of here."

Su Chen looked indifferent. Facing the scorpions that surrounded him, he didn't care at all. He just swung his mantis knife and burst out with a sharp slash, easily killing the scorpions.

After devouring the corpses of the scorpions, he had a lot more blood and bones in his hands.

After a while, Su Chen arrived at his destination and came to the outside of a building.

This building is closer to the depths of the ruins, and the appearance of the building is completely different from the other buildings next to it.

From some patterns on the wall, Su Chen recognized that this was probably a library.

Hmm.

The more important reason was that he saw through the open door

The bookshelf inside.

"The treasure in the library? What could it be?"

Su Chen stepped into the library with curiosity.

In the distance, three pairs of eyes watched Su Chen step into the library, and then they all retracted their gazes.

"Hiss, Boss, this alien is so strong."

"That's right, it takes a lot of effort for us to deal with those scorpions, but in front of him, there is no resistance."

"So we have to be more careful next time, don't be discovered, once discovered, we will die."

"Yeah."

"Where are the priests? Have you notified them?"

"I notified them when I carved the communication array just now. They said they would set up the array and will be here soon."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Tarn nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was okay before he saw Su Chen's strength, but following Su Chen all the way, seeing Su Chen's fighting power like cutting melons and vegetables when facing the scorpions, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

What a terrible strength!

If the other party found out that he was following him secretly, he would definitely attack him. He didn't think he could be a match for this alien.

However, when he thought of the upcoming priests, he felt much more at ease.

As long as the priests arrived, this alien would never be able to turn the tables again. By then, he might even die.

Thinking of this, Tarn once again looked towards the library in front of him, with a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.
