Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The two of them were so busy that they had to fight.

Su Chen soon arrived at the place where the fighting sound came from and saw the two sides of the battle.

A group of ants with black shells were besieging a figure that looked about the same size as Su Chen.

When Su Chen saw the appearance of the besieged person, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This was a creature that looked almost like a human, with slightly sharp ears, and looked like a shrunken human.

"Is this a villain from the Lilliputian Kingdom?"

Su Chen thought curiously.

The villain's fighting power was not weak. He held a long knife in his right hand and a wooden shield in his left hand. Under the siege of seven or eight ants, the battle was going back and forth.

The next moment, the little man seemed to have burst out some kind of power. The light on the long sword flashed, and he slashed out with a sword, which turned into a slash and killed an ant directly.

After this blow, the little man's face was obviously tired. It was obvious that the previous blow had consumed a lot of his energy, and even his fighting movements were much slower.

The other ants just seized this opportunity and quickly left wounds on the little man's body.

Su Chen had fought with these ants before and knew that these ants had slight toxins on their mouthparts. Although they were not fatal, they had a paralyzing effect.

The little man's movements were getting slower and slower. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon die in the hands of these ants.

Seeing this, Su Chen stopped spying secretly and stood up to make a move.

"You are lucky to meet me. You are not destined to die."

He was very interested in this little man and wanted to save him and understand his identity.

Besides, he had never seen an intelligent creature in this game. He didn't know if the other party was an NPC and whether he could get a task from the other party.

Of course, there is another more important reason.

When he was struggling whether to take action, his body instinctively showed a desire.

There is no doubt that this is because of the forager.

Although he did not know the specific reason, this is a desire that only appears when there is an opportunity. Therefore, Su Chen had a guess about the forager in his heart.

The wings behind him extended and flapped quickly.

Su Chen's speed exploded, and he rode the wind in a flash, like a flash of green light, and quickly rushed to the side of the villain.

The two ants were about to make a fatal blow to the villain at this moment. Su Chen waved his two swords and easily killed the two ants.

Facing the strange visitor who suddenly appeared, the villain who fell to the ground with scars all over his body did not know Su Chen's identity, but he knew that he did not have to die, which made him secretly relieved.

The other ants roared and attacked Su Chen mercilessly.

If Su Chen had dealt with these ants before, it might have taken some effort.

But unfortunately, after several strengthenings, he had only one result when facing ants, killing them indiscriminately!

As Su Chen swung his two swords, the surrounding ants quickly turned into corpses.

After dealing with the ants, Su Chen looked back at the villain and asked. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me, Lord Mantis." The villain quickly sat up and thanked.

Su Chen smiled lightly. "You're welcome, it's just a small favor."

Hearing this, the villain shook his head and said. "If it weren't for you, I might die here, so if possible, I would like to invite you to go back to the tribe with me, I want to thank you."

"Tribe?"

Su Chen was puzzled.

Seeing Su Chen's reaction, the villain was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion. "Lord Mantis, is there any problem?"

"No, there is no problem, it's just that this is the first time I've seen an existence like you, and I thought you were a single individual, but I didn't expect there was a tribe."

Su Chen explained.

The villain smiled and said. "You may have just come here recently, so it's normal that you don't know. My name is Lin, I'm from the Black Soil Tribe, and I'm a spirit."

"Spirit?"

"Yes, that's the name of my race."

"I see."

Su Chen nodded, curious about more news about the spirit people, but considering that it was their first meeting, he suppressed the idea of ​​asking, and walked towards the corpses of the ants, reached out to touch them, and absorbed and digested them all.

Seven ants, Su Chen's evolution points increased a lot again.

Looking back at Lin, it was obvious that he had been shocked by Su Chen's methods, with an incredible look on his face.

Su Chen explained helplessly. "This is one of my abilities, which can absorb the energy in their corpses to help me become stronger."

"So

? Really amazing. "Lin said with a look of amazement. "By the way, Mr. Mantis, don't you know your name yet?"

"Don't be so polite, just call me Qing."

Su Chen didn't say his real name foolishly, but named it according to the color of the green mantis.

Lin grinned. "That won't work. You are my savior. The elders taught us to respect our benefactors. In addition, I wonder if you can go back to the tribe with me now? There have been no foreign insects in this area for a long time. If the elders see you, they will definitely be very happy. "

Hearing this, Su Chen thought for a while, shook his head, and said. "I don't have time now, maybe I can go tomorrow, but what do you mean by no foreign insects for a long time?"

"It means literally."

Lin explained. "For some reason, no other insects have visited this area for a long time. The elders are very worried about this matter and issued a task for the people in the tribe to investigate the reason. That's why I am here. "

"Right."

Lin patted his head, took out a map made of leaves and a whistle made of bones from the pouch made of leaves on his waist and handed them to Su Chen. "Master Qing, if you don't have time now, please take these. The location of the tribe is drawn on this map. You can come when you have time."

"Because the tribe is secretive, you need to blow the whistle when you arrive at the location on the map. At that time, the people in the tribe will invite you into the tribe."

Su Chen took the map and whistle and put them in his backpack without being polite, and then asked. "Are you going back to the tribe now?"

"Yes, I have been out for a long time, and I just found out that the ants have become much more violent than before when I fought with them. This is important news. I have to go back and tell the elders quickly." Lin's expression was very serious.

Su Chen didn't know what this meant, but he didn't ask much, just asked. "You are injured, are you okay? "

Lin scratched his head and smiled confidently. "Don't worry, Lord Qing. It's just some superficial injuries. It won't have much impact, and I won't be in danger on my way back."

As he spoke, Lin stood up and walked around. It didn't seem to have much impact, at least there would be no problem walking.

After picking up the long sword and shield that he had dropped on the ground because of the battle, Lin said goodbye to Su Chen.

"By the way."

Lin, who seemed to have thought of something, turned back and rummaged in his purse. Finally, he took out a black and shiny stone and said, "Lord Qing, you saved me. The elders said that you must repay your benefactor. I don't have any valuables on me now. This is the black iron I found during the investigation. I gave it to you. I hope it will be useful to you. "

"When you arrive at the tribe another day, I will definitely repay your life-saving grace. "

Hearing this, Su Chen looked at the stone in Lin's hand, and his heart was shaken.

At the moment the stone appeared, the body's instinctive desire appeared again.

"Sure enough."

Su Chen pursed his lips and made a bold guess about the forager.
