Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The old man was so angry that he was lying on the ground.

"Ah~"

In the lush forest, Su Chen, who was walking forward with a strong wind around him, suddenly sneezed and shook his head and muttered. "I always feel like someone is talking about me."

Shaking his head, he looked forward. A huge old tree stood in front of him. A tree hole was dug out of the tree trunk. As if sensing Su Chen's arrival, a huge monster walked out of it.

It was a black bear, but it was not covered with hair, but hard green scales. Its claws also flashed with cold light, which looked extremely sharp.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the brown bear stood up high and slapped the ground fiercely.

The next moment, under Su Chen's astonished gaze, vines in the soil grew wildly, whipping or entwining Su Chen.

"Control plants?"

Su Chen was a little surprised by the ability of the beast in front of him, but he quickly calmed down. The wind around him burst out, like an invisible slash, and all the vines that approached were instantly shattered.

Then Su Chen took a step forward and suddenly appeared behind the big bear.

"Roar!"

The big bear's reaction was not slow. It immediately noticed Su Chen's approach and waved its bear paws with terrifying power to turn around and slap him.

But Su Chen's movements were obviously faster.

A wanton smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the sharp double swords slashed forward. The sword light flashed and blood splashed.

[Fake King Mark +1. ]

The display box in front of him popped up. As the big bear's body was cut in half and fell to the ground, Su Chen looked at the prompt in front of him and showed an expression of "as expected".

"A level three beast, aimlessly searching is really a headache."

But fortunately he has talent.

Relying on the psychological feedback of the big bear that he sensed through his talent, Su Chen soon learned that the direction that made his heart jump must have the existence of a level three beast.

In this way, it would be convenient to find.

Looking at the body of the big bear, Su Chen raised the mantis knife to touch it, forcing digestion to start, and in an instant the body of the big bear turned into dry and flat animal skin.

Evolution point +18.

"Wuhu, not bad, I got the points for one enhancement."

Su Chen grinned, closed his eyes, and began to activate his talent.

For a while, different directions had more or less different sensations.

"Found it."

Su Chen did not find the opportunity, but turned his head to look in one direction, a smile rose on his face, and he went straight to that direction.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Somewhere in the Ten Thousand Insects Forest.

A flash of knife light passed by, and a leopard with black and purple stripes died in Su Chen's hands.

After devouring the corpse, Su Chen looked at the prompt that popped up in front of him and couldn't help but exhale.

[Mark +1, the fake king's mark has been stacked up, the difficulty has increased, and the mark has begun to reset. ]

"Finally, it's enough."

Looking at the prompt, Su Chen smiled. Except for going offline for lunch at noon, he basically searched for the figure of the third-level beast in the forest.

Although it is not difficult to find the target through talent, running back and forth has cost him a lot of time.

Fortunately, now the second level of the trial has finally ended and the third level of the trial has begun.

At this time, new prompts continue to appear.

[The fake king's mark is currently: 0/10. ]

[You get the ability: insect language. ]

A message broke into his mind, and Su Chen closed his eyes and accepted it all.

After a long time, he opened his eyes with a puzzled look. "Insect language... I actually got this ability."

Insect language, as the name suggests, is an ability that allows him to communicate with insects. Of course, it should be said that it is an ability that allows him to communicate with insects. Of course, it should be said that it is an ability that allows him to communicate with insects with intelligence. Ordinary insects cannot communicate even if they want to.

This ability surprised Su Chen a little.

After all, the first ability is the power of the fake king, which is related to the king, and the second ability is insect language. Is it because he is afraid that the insect king can't speak or something?

"But it should be said that it is still quite useful."

Su Chen murmured.

Although it is not very effective in the game, because the game has a built-in translation function, it can communicate with any creature at any time.

But this ability can be used in reality. After all, he does not have a built-in translation function in reality. With this ability in hand, he can consider looking for some insects to communicate.

"King's power..."

"Insect language..."

Heh.

The insect nest directly gave each insect in the trial period the foundation to build its own power.

Ability.

Su Chen had no persistent idea of ​​building his own power, so he didn't care.

In contrast, he was more interested in the next last trial.

"Loser incarnation..."

"Where should I find this thing?"

Su Chen looked around with a murmur.

This thing is different from a fierce beast. It is impossible to find it with talent.

After all, he has never seen a loser incarnation, and he has no idea what it looks like or how strong it is.

Fortunately, the next moment, a new prompt popped up in front of him, which made him suddenly realize.

[All trialists have passed the second level of the trial, and the third level of the trial is about to begin. ]

[When the sun rises tomorrow, every hour, a loser incarnation will appear in the Ten Thousand Insects Forest, and the fake king mark will guide you to the location of the loser incarnation. ]

[The person who stacks the mark first will receive a gift. ]

[During this period, you can take action and kill each other, but please note that there must be two trialists left to participate in the final trial. ]

[Otherwise, this trial will end here.]

[Even if there is only one fake king left before the final trial, he will not be qualified to enter the insect nest.]

"Tsk, am I the last person to stack the second layer of marks?"

Seeing this prompt, Su Chen curled his lips, not too surprised.

However, looking at the content in the prompt, he smiled and said expectantly. "Starting tomorrow... So tomorrow I will meet other trial participants."

"What a delay."

"Why not now?"

Other trial participants.

Other evolved insects.

Can be favored by the insect nest and have the potential to become a king.

Such an existence is not comparable to some third-level beasts that can be killed at will just now, right?

He is full of expectations for this.

Unfortunately, he still has to wait.

Su Chen took a deep breath and could only suppress his inner desire. After finding a safe place, he quit the game.

It was getting late, and he also had to return to reality and sort out today's harvest.

However, when Su Chen went offline.

In some places in the Insect Forest, six insects of different shapes seemed to have noticed something, and their eyes showed fierce light.

On the other side, somewhere in the Insect Forest, in a huge ancient tree.

Three figures stood in the hollowed-out tree hole, looking at a piece of jade with seven light spots in front of them, and they were all refreshed.

"Finally, all the second level trials have been completed."

"Youlan, it seems that your reminder is still effective."

"The third level trial can finally begin. I don't want to experience such a new recruitment task again in the future. It's a waste of time."

"Hehe, stop talking nonsense, and get ready quickly."

The pink mantis looked charming, admiring her beautiful and sharp mantis knife while whispering softly. "The third level of the trial is about to begin, which also means that there is not much time left before the final trial."

"The recruitment task may be successfully completed."

"But the other task... is still a long way off."

In front of the pink mantis, there are two insects of different sizes.

One is covered with silver scales, shining in the dark tree hole. On its forehead, there is a round moon mark, faintly emitting bright moonlight, and in the light, there is a piercing chill.

The other one is covered with black armor and has animal horns on its head. It looks like an ant standing like a human. It looks burly, not as noble and mysterious as the silver insect, but it exudes a fierce aura all over its body, which makes people palpitate.

At this time, hearing the words of the pink mantis, it hugged its hands in front of it and frowned. "Another mission... Youlan, you don't really think that the three of us can complete it, right?"

"The old thing's ability to hide is simply beyond our ability to detect. Let alone us, even if the True King comes, it will be difficult to detect."

"Although we don't know why it was targeted by the Mother Mother and why it appeared in this forest, the reason we have this mission is simply that we found a suitable seedling here."

"It would be best if the mission can be completed and we can get feedback from the Mother Mother, but it doesn't matter if it can't be completed. Although the Mother Mother is higher than us, she can't punish us!"

"That old thing..." The silver insect also whispered, and a hint of dissatisfaction seemed to flash across his pupils. "Youlan, don't dream about it. The Mother Mother's mission is to capture it alive, but we can't even find it.

, not to mention catching it alive. "

"I'm just reminding you. If you are willing to do it, it's the best. If you don't do it, it doesn't matter."

Youlan said lightly. "It's a pity for the gift from the mother. It has a lot of good things in its hands."

On the other side.

In the dark alley of the Spirit Tribe, a space crack was torn open, and then a bug crawled out of it, with a vigilant look in its big eyes.

While observing the surroundings, he murmured:

"My eldest grandson, where are you?"
