Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The weather was very bad, and the weather was very good.

Su Chen was like a stream of wind, and he arrived at the front entrance in a blink of an eye.

Looking around, an army of spirits and insects was at the forefront, and outside the gate of the tribe, there was a surging swarm of insects, scarlet beetles, pale insects and even black insects, all swarming towards the tribe like countless.

These insects had crazy eyes and no reason at all.

Even if their limbs were cut off, they were still roaring.

Behind the army in the tribe, an obviously white-haired old man raised a wooden stick in his hand, as if he was chanting something, and a milky white light emanated from his body, which was differentiated to all the spirits and insects fighting the enemy, forming a milky white protective film.

Blood was flowing and corpses were everywhere. It seemed that people were dying all the time.

Su Chen searched the crowd with his insect pupils, but he did not find the little one. He could not help but feel a little worried.

But at this time, a familiar voice sounded, with some hesitation.

"Are you... Lord Qing?"

Su Chen turned his head and smiled. "It's me, Lin."

It was Lin who came. He was wrapped in bandages in many places and looked injured. However, when he saw Su Chen nod, he still showed a surprised smile on his face.

"I didn't expect it was really you. I thought I recognized you wrongly. You have changed so much." Lin said happily.

"Well, you have awakened your bloodline, so your appearance has changed a little." Su Chen explained casually.

Lin nodded, with a look of realization on his face. As a spiritual person who often deals with insects, he knows that some insects will become more powerful and their appearance will change after awakening their bloodline.

"By the way, Lord Qing, are you here to help the tribe fight?" Lin asked at this time.

Su Chen nodded. "Yes, but I am confused about something. I want to ask your elders. Is it convenient?"

He looked at the white-haired spirit in the distance. It was obvious that he was the elder of the spirit tribe and the highest leader.

I have heard of it before, but this is the first time I have seen it.

And...

"Is it some kind of protective ability?"

Looking at the white light that kept differentiating from the elder, Su Chen looked puzzled.

After these white lights fell on the spirits or insects, a milky white protective film was formed, like a shield, clinging to their bodies.

Many attacks fell on the body, and it was difficult to penetrate the protective film.

Under Su Chen's observation, it seemed to have some magical functions. Even the liquid that exuded fatal attraction after the pale insects died could not affect them.

It was a magical ability, which made Su Chen feel a little curious.

Lin nodded quickly. "Of course, and to be honest, it was the elder who asked me to call you over."

"Oh?"

Su Chen's eyes flashed with doubt, and he followed Lin to the elder.

The old man had put down the wooden stick in his hand, exhaled deeply, and looked a little tired.

But after seeing Su Chen, he still showed a gentle smile, like an elder full of wisdom. "Mr. Mantis, it's our first time to meet. I am Yun, an elder of the Spiritual Tribe."

"Elder Yun."

Su Chen nodded. "My name is Qing. I heard from Lin that you are looking for me. Is there anything?"

Although he had heard of Elder Yun many times in the Spiritual Tribe, this was the first time he met him. He couldn't help but be curious about what the other party wanted to do with him.

Yun smiled, did not answer immediately, but waved his hand to let Lin leave.

After Lin left, Elder Yun sighed and asked. "Mr. Qing, I wonder what you think about what happened today?"

How do you think?

I see with my eyes.

Su Chen shook his head and replied. "For now, I can't give any answer, because I actually don't understand why the Spirit Tribe was attacked."

"Is that so?"

Elder Yun smiled gently and looked directly into Su Chen's eyes. "I can see that you are not lying, so it seems that you are not with those guys."

"Those people?"

Su Chen was stunned and suddenly reacted. Did the question just now seem to be a test?

Yun looked at the Spirit Tower in the distance and said. "This attack is very complicated, and there are many reasons in it, but the most important thing is that it is nothing more than coming for that thing.

"

"Spirit Tower?"

Su Chen turned his head and looked more and more puzzled.

"Which guys are you talking about?"

"Cultists."

"Cultists?"

Su Chen seemed to suspect that he had heard wrongly.

I was dealing with cultists in reality, but I didn't expect to meet them again in the game.

Yun explained. "Mr. Qing, I wonder if you have ever entered the Spirit Tower?"

"Of course I have."

"Hehe, then I think you should be confused about how the enemies in the Spirit Tower were formed?"

"This... is true."

Su Chen thought about it and nodded.

Yun explained. "That's because there is an energy core with huge energy inside the Spirit Tower. This core is the purpose of those cultists."

"Of course, this is only the main purpose."

"And the other purpose is for the many treasures in the Spirit Tower. "

Su Chen understood the treasures in the Spirit Tower. After all, anyone who wanted to become stronger, whether human or insect, would feel the desire.

But the core...

As if seeing Su Chen's doubts, Elder Yun explained again. "For the cultists, all actions are based on the oracle."

"In my long past, I have dealt with cultists many times, so I also know some things about cultists."

"For cultists, everything that can provide energy is a treasure."

"Flesh, soul, treasures, resources, etc."

"Because only in this way can their gods come, and they can get power from the hands of gods as they wish."

Hearing this, Su Chen suddenly realized.

"So this time the Spirit Tribe was attacked because some cultists wanted to obtain the core in the Spirit Tower to summon the gods they believe in?"

"It may not be to summon the gods, but they may just want to get it. "

Elder Yun said. "This time the matter is too complicated and it came too suddenly. As far as the tribe knows, in addition to the cultists, there are some other forces."

"Such as the insect nest, such as the scarlet beetle tribe, such as the black blood sect."

"This time, the main behind-the-scenes mastermind is probably also a member of the black blood sect. They are also the only enemy that the tribe has to deal with."

Insect nest?

A familiar name.

As for the scarlet beetle tribe, it is probably related to Wang Li. However, this black blood sect is the first time I have heard of it. I think it is a sect that believes in the evil god called black blood.

Su Chen pondered for a long time and asked. "Then I wonder what Elder Yun is looking for me for?"

"I want to ask you to help the spiritual tribe do something. "

Elder Yun was not polite and went straight to the point.

Under Su Chen's puzzled gaze, he took out a map, opened it, and pointed to two areas on it. "This time, the tribe's enemies are mainly the Black Blood Sect. The Insect Nest Tribe will not care, and they are not the existence that likes to massacre. In comparison, the Scarlet Tribe is also worth noting."

"Of course, with the strength of the tribe, in fact, these can be faced, but there are currently two main problems that make the tribe only able to hold on, and unable to repel or even destroy the enemy."

"The reason lies in these two places."

Su Chen looked at the map. Elder Yun pointed to one area near the iron ore area and another area that Su Chen had not been to, belonging to two different directions of the Spirit Tribe.

Elder Yun said. "The Spirit Tribe has always had a large number of warriors stationed in these two places, in order to be able to support the iron ore area and the spirit ore area at any time. Those are two important resource points of the tribe. "

"But now, the tribe is under attack, and they haven't received the news. I think they have been concealed, so I would like to ask you to help go to these two places and pass on the news that the tribe is under attack."

Su Chen looked at Elder Yun and did not agree immediately.

Elder Yun chuckled. "Of course, there will be rewards. In addition to the rewards for your willingness to help the tribe resist the enemy, the tribe will provide you with a treasure that suits you best. How about it?"

"Best for me?"

Su Chen looked surprised. "Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure."

Elder Yun chuckled. "Although the treasure may be rare, the tribe still has some background and will definitely be able to take it out. Mr. Qing, don't doubt it."

"It's just that the exit of the tribe has been blocked by these monsters. If Mr. Qing wants to get out, I'm afraid he needs to find a way on his own. How about it?"

Su Chen was silent for a while, then grinned. "No problem, I accept this task. "

Elder Yun showed satisfaction on his face and said, "Besides that, there is one more thing. I hope Mr. Qing will

"Su Chen's eyes flickered. "Reward?" Elder Yun laughed. "Of course there is." Su Chen nodded. Elder Yun stopped talking nonsense and looked at the scarlet beetles fighting with the tribesmen. "In fact, I know about the existence of the Black Blood Sect and even the insect nest, but the arrival of the Scarlet Tribe was beyond my expectation." "They moved here from the Beetle Kingdom a long time ago. They have always kept to themselves with the Spirit Tribe, but I don't know why they participated in this attack and became irrational monsters. I would like to trouble Mr. Qing to investigate the reason." "Okay. "

Su Chen raised his lips and agreed without hesitation.

Just kidding, this free reward is worth a lot of effort.

After all, he probably knows the Scarlet Tribe best.

There is no doubt that the Scarlet Tribe must be related to Wang Li.

But I didn't expect that the situation faced by the Spirit Tribe this time was so complicated, with Wang Li in the secret realm, the Black Blood Sect, and the insect nest whose identity was unknown.

It's a headache to think about it.

He was too lazy to think about it, just do the task anyway.

After completing the task, get the reward, and help the Spirit Tribe solve the enemy.

Well, it's best if it can be solved, so that I can continue to break into the Spirit Tower.

But if it can't be solved...

Su Chen turned his head to look at the Spirit Tower, his eyes flashing.

"By then, I'm afraid I'll have to find a way to get a share of the chaos. "

Perhaps he had explained enough, Elder Yun asked Su Chen to leave, and then he also joined the battle, holding up the wooden staff, and the milky white light continued to differentiate, enhancing the fighting power of the tribe.

The spiritual tribe resisted the attack of the insect swarm with a very small number of people.

Su Chen did not waste time, looking at the mad and irrational insect army at the entrance of the tribe, took a deep breath, and directly flapped his wings behind him and flew up.

The strong wind came and pushed Su Chen's body in an instant, making him turn into a stream of light and fly at a terrifying speed. Towards the outside of the tribe.

It was only after leaving the tribe that Su Chen truly observed how terrifying the pressure faced by the Spiritual Tribe was.

The insect nest army outside the tribe was like a long river flowing from a distant place. Looking around, it was all densely packed with insects.

There were too many, so many that it was impossible to count them.

The appearance of Su Chen instantly attracted the attention of many insects.

Some pale insects, even black insects, suddenly jumped up, trying to intercept Su Chen.

"Get out."

Su Chen looked indifferent, and slashed out fearlessly, turning into a green slash that soared into the sky, crushing a large number of insects in front, and forcibly opened up a path and flew out quickly.

And behind Su Chen, in the Spiritual Tribe.

A pink figure walked out from a shadow, looking at Su Chen's departing back, his eyes full of greed. "Haha, worthy of the mantis I've set my eyes on, it's really amazing, it actually became so powerful so quickly. "

"And... you are even more handsome than before. Really, you are getting more and more handsome, which makes people feel itchy. "

"Although I really want to go up and have a tryst with you right now, unfortunately I have more important things to do."

"And..."

"Since you have been favored by the Hive, your trial will also begin."

The voice fell.

The air around him rippled slightly, and a new figure appeared out of thin air.

The expression on the pink mantis's face instantly converged, and his voice was sharp. "Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready. There are seven targets in total, and all the trials related to them are ready. "

"Then let's get started. "

The pink mantis gave an order, and the figure beside him disappeared immediately.

It looked into the distance, with a smile on its face. "Let me see, which insect will be able to transform into a king this time? Haha, I'm really looking forward to it..."
