Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The mantis knife was full of light winds, and the slashing blows were released from the mantis knife, killing a row of pale insects in an instant. White branches and leaves were scattered all over the ground, and the alluring breath was exuding. Su Chen exhaled, and then looked at the two insects with triangular patterns on their foreheads not far away, and his face showed joy. "Good luck." After advancing in the ruins for a while, he encountered pale insects again. However, for Su Chen, as long as the number of encounters was not too large at one time, he basically accepted them all. Approaching the corpse, Su Chen cut open the head of the pale insect and got two embers of life. He turned his head to look at the little one behind him, who was stuffing his nose with a tentacle, looking funny.

"What are you doing?"

"My Lord, if I smell that smell, I can't resist it. I can only use this method." The little one hummed.

Hearing this, Su Chen suddenly realized that he almost forgot that the little one didn't have his strong will.

Shaking his head, he directly used two life embers.

The display box popped up.

[Your vitality has increased. ]

[Strength +0.1. ]

[Speed ​​+0.1. ]

Feeling the increased power in his body, Su Chen smiled.

"Yes, it seems that this place is still a treasure land for monsters."

Even if there is no opportunity in the future, he thinks it is not impossible to come here for a stroll.

After speaking, Su Chen urged the forager to sense the location of the opportunity and said secretly. "We are almost there."

"Let's go, little one."

"Okay, boss."

"Hmm?" Su Chen turned around. "Why did you suddenly change your name?"

"Well, I felt that you were a good person, so I subconsciously wanted to call you that." Little Bit said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Su Chen smiled. He didn't expect that the good person card came so quietly. "Okay, as long as you like it."

Stepping on the ruins full of desolate ruins and moving forward, a much flatter area came into view after a while. There were stone pestles piled high after the collapse of the former buildings around it, which seemed to have turned into a circle of stone walls to surround the area in front of it, forming a circular open space.

Some stone pillars stood, covered with patterns, making this place look like a sacrificial site.

"It should be here."

Su Chen thought, felt the forager again, and nodded.

He sensed the location of the opportunity, not far ahead.

Just looking up, Su Chen found nothing.

"It looks like it's underground like the Silver Moon Knife."

Su Chen took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Little Bit, and whispered. "You should find a place to hide. There will probably be a fight next."

If you don't want to miss the opportunity underground, you will definitely alarm some pale bugs.

The little guy knew this, nodded gratefully to Su Chen, and dug a hole directly on the spot. After a while, he buried himself in it, leaving only two tentacles swaying on it.

"Wow, this hole-digging speed is really not slow."

Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and then he chuckled and walked forward.

The forager was sensing all the time, so Su Chen quickly stopped and looked at the ground under his feet.

"It's here."

The moment the voice fell, Su Chen swung his forelimbs without hesitation, and a slash suddenly appeared, instantly splitting the ground into a gully, and in the gully, a mysterious pattern appeared.

"What is this?"

Su Chen was surprised.

But before he could take a closer look, the sound of the ground cracking around him came suddenly.

"As expected, there will be a fight."

Su Chen looked up without any surprise, and pale bugs appeared all around. There were a lot of them, and at least thirty or forty of them were seen at a glance.

What caught Su Chen's eyes was that many of them had triangular patterns on their heads.

"The one I killed in the outer area before didn't have any triangular patterns. Could it be that the closer the pale bugs are to the depths of the ruins, the more likely they are to have life embers?"

Su Chen thought subconsciously in his heart.

Of course, his hands were not slow. He swung his knife and the wind blade slashed across. A row of seven or eight pale bugs were directly cut off, and white milky juice splashed everywhere.

The monster roared.

But Su Chen had been prepared. After jumping back to distance himself, when he came to his senses, although there were pale bugs rushing towards him, he was still some distance away. Without any hesitation, he slashed with his backhand knife, and many pale bugs were killed again.

The corpse was broken into pieces, and milky white liquid splattered like blood, causing Su Chen to smile bloodthirstyly.

As the sharp forelimbs danced wildly, the slashes compressed by the raging wind burst out like wind blades, instantly chopping some pale insects into pieces.

Dozens of pale insects, only seven or eight were left in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Su Chen's eyes swept to the pale insect farthest from him, and he keenly felt that this pale insect was different from the other insects.

It was slightly larger in size, and more importantly, this pale insect had not moved or roared since it crawled out of the ground, but just kept opening its mouth in the same place, as if saying something.

Indistinctly, Su Chen saw the looming spirituality in the eyes of this pale insect.

"Is it intelligent?"

Su Chen was startled, and in a moment of daze, other insects suddenly attacked, and the whistling sound of breaking through the air was accompanied by the stench of the insects when they opened their mouths.

"Damn, don't get close to me."

Su Chen cursed inwardly, and as soon as he thought about it, a wisp of light wind was drawn in and turned into a barrier to cover him.

The pale insects hit the barrier one after another, making a bang.

"The sound is crisp, good head."

Su Chen grinned, praised, and chopped with a backhand knife, and the pale insect's head was immediately split open.

"Unfortunately, your head is not good enough."

After a while of killing, Su Chen was surrounded by corpses, and only the special pale insect was still standing.

With a hint of doubt and vigilance, Su Chen frowned and approached quietly.

At this time, intermittent sounds came into his ears.

"Pull out... pull out... the seed.... liberate..."

"Pull out... liberate..."

Su Chen frowned, and a question mark appeared in his head.

"Pull out the seeds? Liberate?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Chen didn't understand, but he confirmed that the pale bug had no desire to attack, so he couldn't help but feel relieved and asked seriously. "Do you want me to help you liberate?"

As soon as the words fell.

A gleam of light flashed in the pale bug's eyes.

Su Chen noticed it and asked. "You can only be liberated by pulling out the seeds, right? Liberate what? You? Or these bugs?"

The pale bug's words remained unchanged, intermittent.

But the gleam of light in his eyes was even stronger.

Su Chen nodded. "Okay, I roughly understand what you mean. You want me to help you pull out some seeds and liberate these seeds, right?"

"So, where are the seeds?"

The pale bug didn't answer, but just turned his head stiffly in one direction.

Su Chen looked immediately, and his heart jumped. "This direction... is not right."

Su Chen used the forager to sense it and determined that this was the direction of the last opportunity, and it was also the direction that made him feel a little dangerous.

"So, is the seed there?"

Although he didn't know what the seed was and why these insects wanted to be liberated, Su Chen thought about it and agreed.

Well, mainly because he had just used the forager to sense it. If he agreed, good things would happen.

But Su Chen said in a deep voice, "I can try, but I can't guarantee it. As long as I can do it, I will help you do it. How about it?"

The pale insect didn't reply, but a hint of gratitude flashed in its eyes. The next moment, it suddenly let out a low roar.

Su Chen was startled and thought that the insect was going to attack him suddenly, but he didn't expect that after the roar, he didn't lose his mind. Instead, a drop of golden blood spread out of the insect's mouth.

At the signal of the pale insect's eyes, Su Chen immediately took it.

[You have obtained the item: Winged Insect Essence Blood. ]

"Winged Insect Essence Blood?"

Su Chen's eyes were slightly fixed.

Before he could check, he heard intermittent words.

"Kill, kill me..."

Su Chen looked up, and a trace of desire appeared in the eyes of the pale insect, a desire for liberation.

Su Chen took a deep breath and said. "Although I don't know what this is, I will meet your request."

After the voice fell, Su Chen raised his hand and chopped, and the pale insect was killed with one knife.

Indistinctly, there seemed to be a "thank you" coming.

Su Chen scratched his head and sighed. "Really, why thank you so early? I may not be able to complete your request 100%."

Shaking his head, Su Chen stopped talking, walked towards the corpses of other insects, and began to collect the embers of life.

There are quite a few, a total of seven collected.

Su Chen used them all.

The display box popped up immediately.

[Your vitality has increased. ]

[Strength +0.2. ]

[Speed ​​+0.1. ]

[Physique +0.2. ]

[Spirit +0.2. ]

"Hu

, refreshing. "

Feeling the growth of strength, Su Chen raised the corners of his mouth and showed an excited smile.

"Little one, come out."

Turning his head to look at the place where Little One was hiding, Su Chen shouted, then sat down cross-legged, opened his backpack, and checked the blood essence he had just obtained.

[Blood essence of the winged insect: The blood essence in the body of the winged insect contains a trace of the power of the winged insect, which is of great use to the winged insect, but more often, it is a key to open the inheritance.]

"Winged insect?"

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully. It seems that this is the former owner of this ruin.

Named after wings, there is no doubt that the original winged insects here should have wings.

The pale insect just now was obviously a winged insect, but Su Chen thought about the appearance of the pale insect and could not see any wings at all.

"Is this what it said about liberation? "

Let these pale bugs return to their original appearance?

Su Chen was a little confused, he only knew that this ruin had a secret that he didn't know.

"Boss, you are so amazing, you solved these white bugs so quickly."

At this time, the little one also crawled out of the soil, looking at the corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but cast admiring eyes on Su Chen.

Su Chen laughed. "It's simple."

Patting the little one's head, Su Chen shook his head, fortunately he was too lazy to think too much, anyway, he would go to the last place of opportunity later, and then everything would be clear.

The most important thing at the moment is still the opportunity.

Su Chen walked towards the place of opportunity, with a flash of expectation in his eyes. "Let me see what this opportunity is!"
