Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The map of the underground beetle kingdom is very interesting.

[Underground map of the beetle kingdom! ]

Looking at the line of insect writing at the top of the map, Su Chen was surprised.

This map turned out to be the underground map of the beetle kingdom.

Su Chen had just heard the name of this country from Lin, but he didn't expect to get a detailed map now.

Just a casual glance at it, Su Chen was shocked by this map.

Apart from other things, in terms of area, the beetle kingdom is unexpectedly large. Not only is the map produced by the spirit tribe far inferior, but this map also marks many places, and there are notes next to the marked locations.

However, the maps produced by the spirit tribe are mass-produced, while this map looks more like it was drawn by an adventurer himself.

"The Beetle Kingdom... Lin seemed to be talking about the border just now. Could it be that the other side of the iron ore area is the territory of the Beetle Kingdom?"

Su Chen's eyes flashed with thought. He took out the spirit map and compared it. He soon found the area bordering the iron ore area on the Beetle Kingdom map.

A red line was clearly drawn in this area, which included the entire kingdom. At the same time, there was a line of markings next to the top red line.

[Beetle Kingdom, all creatures other than beetles are prohibited from entering! ]

[There are sentry posts on the border of the Beetle Kingdom. Non-beetle creatures will be killed immediately. Be cautious when entering. ]

This is the tip of the person who drew the map, which made Su Chen frown slightly.

"Other creatures are prohibited from entering. This Beetle Kingdom seems to be a bit overbearing."

"But..."

Su Chen's eyes moved down and found a green arrow in the area where the Ten Thousand Insect Forest and the Beetle Kingdom bordered each other.

[Underground River/The only entrance to the Beetle Kingdom from the Ten Thousand Insect Forest. 】

"Not bad."

Seeing this line of prompts, Su Chen's mouth corners rose, and he immediately put the map away.

He was very satisfied with this reward.

With this map in hand, it was equivalent to opening up a new area for him.

Although he would not go there now, after exploring the Insect Forest, as it borders the Insect Forest and is also the Beetle Kingdom, he would definitely go there.

At that time, having this map would undoubtedly help him explore better.

Just thinking of the hints about the Beetle Kingdom on the map, Su Chen estimated that he would have to fight with the beetles.

"Forget it, it's too early to think about these now, let's talk about it later."

Shaking his head, Su Chen retracted his distracting thoughts, said goodbye to Little Bit, and walked straight out of the Spirit Tribe.

It's time to explore the last place of opportunity.

Shortly after Su Chen left, a team led by Lin came out of the training camp with a solemn look on their faces, as if foreshadowing something big, and left in a hurry.

Watching the team go away, not far away, two figures walked out of the dark alley and whispered. "They have been attracted. You go and tell those guys to speed up."

"At this time, the Lingren tribe is empty. This is a rare opportunity."

Two figures, one black and one pink.

The black insect frowned when he heard it. "But the old guy in the tribe hasn't moved yet? And...who knows when that guy will come back?"

"If that guy comes back, will it be too early for us to take action now?"

"That guy..."

The pink insect seemed to have thought of something, shook his head and chuckled. "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the Spirit Tribe, it's just here to get an opportunity, and it's already got it and left."

"That's good."

The black bug nodded as if relieved, a look of determination appeared on his face, and he said, "I'll go and inform those guys later."

......

After walking out of the Spirit Tribe, Su Chen immediately had an idea, and the wings behind him extended from under the shell and took off suddenly.

At the same time, Su Chen also pulled the wind to make his flying speed faster.

In an instant, he flew towards the distance like a green light.

After a while, Su Chen arrived at the ruins.

"Tsk, sure enough, it's much faster to travel after being able to fly."

After Su Chen landed from the sky, he couldn't help but sigh.

After being able to fly, going anywhere will be faster and more convenient than before.

It must be said that the arrival of this pair of wings surprised him greatly.

However

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Su Chen quickly collected his mind, used the "Forager" to sense the direction of the last opportunity, took a deep breath, and walked inside vigilantly.

Walking on the ruins, with a click, the slight footsteps immediately awakened the pale bugs sleeping underground.

The sound of the ground cracking was heard, and white shadows quickly crawled out.

"Don't delay my time."

Su Chen's tone was helpless. While these bugs had just crawled out, he waved his wings behind him without hesitation, and the wind whistled, suddenly turning into a series of sharp wind blades.

Before the pale bugs had time to launch an attack, they were killed by the wind blades.

The milky white juice splashed all over the ground, exuding an alluring scent.

After solving the pale bugs, Su Chen immediately collected them.

This is the outermost area, but he was lucky. He saw three of these bugs with triangular lines on their foreheads.

[You have obtained Life Embers x1. ]

[You have obtained Life Embers x1. ]

[You have obtained Life Embers x1. ]

Soon, three Life Embers were in hand.

Su Chen raised his mouth and nodded with satisfaction. "Three, not bad."

After taking Life Embers, the attribute prompts also appeared in front of him.

[Your strength increased by 0.1. ]

[Your strength increased by 0.1. ]

[Your speed increased by 0.1. ]

"Huh, refreshing."

Feeling the slight increase in strength in his body, Su Chen grinned and smiled.

No matter when, the pleasure of increased strength always makes him unable to extricate himself.

Although he still wants to continue to kill more pale bugs in order to obtain more Life Embers.

However, Su Chen is still more interested in opportunities, so after getting familiar with the increased strength, he immediately ran towards the destination again.

This time, Su Chen was much more careful, lowered his voice, and did not alarm any pale bugs.

In a blink of an eye, he was approaching the last place of opportunity.

Just looking at the scenery in front of him, Su Chen's face was shocked.

"This is..."

On the white ruins, vines like frost grew everywhere, covering the entire earth.

"What is this?"

Su Chen frowned, squatted down and swung the blade at a vine, cut it off, and then picked it up.

[You picked up the item: Polluted rhizome. ]

"Pollution?"

This is the second time I have seen this word.

Su Chen frowned and checked the introduction:

[Polluted rhizome: vines growing on pollution will absorb the power of pollution and grow, and take root in the earth, and then absorb the blood and soul in the earth to breed monsters. ]

"It's really not a good thing."

Seeing the words blood and soul in the introduction, Su Chen felt the ominousness of this thing.

And it will breed monsters!

Thinking of this, Su Chen looked up to the depths ahead. Whether it was because of these vines or the environment of this area, the place in front of him, which was obviously the center of the ruins, was actually covered with thick fog, making it difficult to observe the specific situation inside.

Only vaguely, Su Chen seemed to see a lot of oval objects.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen walked closer, and then he saw the true appearance of these objects, and his expression was immediately horrified.

"Is this... eggs?"

That's right.

These oval objects are actually white eggs.

And looking around, the number of these eggs is dense and countless.

When Su Chen was shocked, a click sounded, and cracks suddenly appeared on the eggs.

Su Chen suddenly took two steps back, his whole body subconsciously tensed, and his eyes were fixed on the broken white eggs.

The next moment, some white eggs were completely broken, and the familiar pale insects crawled out of them, making a subconscious low roar.

"Pale bugs?!"

Su Chen opened his eyes wide, shocked.

He didn't expect that the monsters bred by these vines would be pale bugs!

"Absorbing the blood and souls in the earth to breed monsters..."

"Is that what the pale bug meant when it asked me to be liberated?"

"Inside these pale bugs is the soul of a winged bug, imprisoned and tortured, so they want to seek liberation?"

Hiss!

Su Chen's mind was in a mess, shocked by the scene in front of him, and it took him a long time to calm down and look at the ground under his feet.

There is no doubt that there are some secrets in this area.

But the real secret is not the white vines in front of him, but something deep underground.

Although the scene in front of him was shocking, he did not forget the introduction when he checked the vines.

These vines grow in polluted

The vegetation above the source, that is to say, the real secret, is the unknown thing that exists underground and does not emit polluting energy to make the vines grow.

If you want to really liberate the soul of the winged insect, you may have to deal with the unknown thing.

Thinking of this, Su Chen had a headache, and always felt that things were a little beyond his expectations!

After all, he originally thought that there was at most a monster like a big boss waiting for him here, who would have thought that it would be the situation in front of him.

However, those pale insects that hatched obviously didn't let him think too much. As they broke out of the eggs, these pale insects had already noticed Su Chen, a creature that was completely different from them.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a roar, all of a sudden, all the other pale insects that hatched let out a scream, and then rushed towards it fiercely.

There were a large number of pale insects, as many as hundreds, densely packed, and the scene of charging was like a worm nest, which made people's scalps numb!

Seeing this, Su Chen no longer thought about it, and waved two sharp mantis knives, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Forget it, let's think about the underground things later."

"Now, it's more important to deal with you bastards first!"
