Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The night market was crowded with people and there were food stalls everywhere.

Su Chen bought some barbecue and a bottle of beer and sat in a corner to enjoy the food.

While eating barbecue and drinking, he took out his phone and clicked into the zoo forum to look at some of the latest posts.

"Bloodline map, is there any big guy who has the green snake bloodline map, it can be traded for a lot of money!"——Wang Quanfugui.

"It took ten days, and the first evolution is coming soon. Come on, a big guy, give me some advice. Without the bloodline map, is there any point in random evolution?"——Cute big rat.

"Damn, is the secret realm so hard to find? I just want a piece of equipment, why is it so difficult!"——Handsome guy.

"New news, the chance of fierce beasts appearing has increased recently compared to before, so everyone should always pay attention." - Liu'er.

"Bloodline map?"

Looking at the latest post, Su Chen was thoughtful.

Having read the novice post, he naturally knew what the bloodline map was and was related to evolution.

When all parts are strengthened, the incarnation can usher in evolution, but evolution is not as simple as imagined, and it is completely different from strengthening.

Evolution not only requires a large number of evolution points, but also a bloodline map.

Su Chen didn't know what the bloodline map looked like, because too few people had it, and no one in the forum introduced it in detail. He only knew that the bloodline map seemed to represent a complete evolutionary path for the incarnation.

However, some people in the forum also said that the bloodline map was not necessary for evolution, but evolution without the bloodline map was random evolution, which was very risky.

But once the random evolution was successful, it would be more powerful and have a higher upper limit than the bloodline map evolution method.

In short, Su Chen still had a long way to go before evolution, so he was not in a hurry.

Apart from these, the last piece of news made Su Chen a little concerned.

"Are they vicious beasts?"

Su Chen's eyes flickered.

Ferocious beasts are the names given by players or the official to the giant beasts on Earth.

As previously speculated, these beasts are indeed not simple. Some have evolved from ordinary beasts, while others seem to appear out of thin air and are extremely harmful.

They appear in some cities.

It's just that ordinary people don't encounter them much because of the players' cleanup.

It's just that the probability of their appearance has increased now, and I don't know what kind of movement it will cause.

The extraordinary game and the mysterious beasts made Su Chen always feel that the peaceful days were about to leave him.

......

The barbecue was quickly eaten.

After Su Chen paid the bill, he walked on the way home.

In the early hours of the morning, the night became thicker.

There were fewer pedestrians on the street.

Except for the occasional sound of passing vehicles, the street seemed a little quiet.

"Hmm?"

Su Chen stopped halfway through his walk. He felt a gaze inexplicably and turned his head to the right. A pair of scarlet eyes blinked at the entrance of an alley.

In that gaze, there was bloodthirstiness and hunger.

The next moment, the owner of the gaze rushed towards Su Chen with a roar.

"Is this... a beast?"

Su Chen looked surprised and saw the shape of the creature in front of him. It was a black-haired rat as big as a piglet. The teeth in its mouth were extremely sharp and its speed was also amazing.

Just now, Su Chen was still thinking about the beast. He didn't expect to encounter it now.

He reacted quickly and dodged the rat's pounce with a turn. Then he looked around and frowned.

"The fight on the street is too eye-catching. We have to find a place where no one is."

Although there was no one now, he didn't want to bet whether someone would come later. After all, he didn't have the fun of being watched like a monkey.

With a thought, Su Chen aimed at the alley where the rat came from and rushed over immediately.

Seeing this, the greed in the eyes of the rat behind him became even more intense, and he quickly followed Su Chen into the alley.

However, just as he entered the alley, Su Chen, who had arrived one step ahead, had been waiting for him. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he kicked hard.

With a bang, the rat was blasted directly into the depths of the alley.

But the powerful blow did not make the rat lose its fighting ability. With just a struggle, the rat stood up and pounced again.

There was a glimmer in Su Chen's pupils, and as soon as he thought about it, his body felt the flow of the surrounding wind.

"Too slow."

With a sneer, Su Chen turned his head slightly, and the figure of the rat passed by him.

The next second, Su Chen suddenly grabbed the rat's thick tail and pulled the rat back,

He swung it hard and smashed it to the ground.

The mouse squeaked in pain and was about to fight back when there was a bang and Su Chen stepped on it hard.

As a fierce beast, the mouse looked much smaller than Su Chen, but the strength of its struggle made Su Chen secretly frightened. If he had not suppressed it with all his strength from the beginning, the mouse might have broken free.

Not daring to hesitate, Su Chen looked around and quickly stepped on the mouse with one foot while picking up a stone beside him and smashed it on the mouse's head mercilessly.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang!

After three bricks were smashed down in succession, the mouse's head was broken and blood flowed.

"It's really thick-skinned."

Su Chen put down the stone and couldn't help sighing.

It took several full-strength hits before it died.

This is a rat that is not as big as an adult. If some teenagers encounter it, they may have no resistance and will most likely become its food.

This is the first time Su Chen has seen a fierce beast in reality. He knows the danger of this creature.

He took his foot back from the rat's body and calmed down. He looked at the body, and his eyes were eager to try.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if the fierce beast can swallow it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he tried it immediately.

He reached out and touched the body, and the ability of forced digestion was directly exerted.

A warm current immediately flowed into the body from the rat's body.

"Is it really possible?"

Su Chen looked happy.

The next moment, a display box appeared in front of him, and prompts for obtaining evolution points popped up one by one.

[You have obtained 0.1 evolution points. ]

[You have obtained 0.1 evolution points. ]

[You have obtained 0.1 evolution points. ]

[...]

After obtaining a little evolution point, the prompt ended.

The body of the mouse also dried up and turned into a piece of animal skin.

Su Chen curled his lips and said with some disappointment. "It is so much bigger than an ant, but it has so few evolution points."

It's better than nothing.

Shaking his head, Su Chen did not stay long and left here while there was no one.

Not long after Su Chen left here, two figures, a man and a woman, walked into the alley cautiously.

The man was holding a mobile phone in his hand and looked at the screen. "According to the prompt, the beast that just appeared should be here, but for some reason, the beast's breath disappeared just now."

"Disappeared? Went somewhere else?"

"No, it just disappeared."

The woman frowned, a little puzzled.

Until she walked a distance into the depths of the alley, looking at the dried corpse on the ground, a flash of enlightenment flashed in her eyes. "So that's it, someone got there first."

Hearing this, the man walked to the side of the corpse, squatted down and observed carefully, wondering. "Dead, but there's still some residual heat, so it should have just died... Strange, there shouldn't be anyone responsible for this area, right? Who killed him?"

"Not sure, maybe other players met him and killed him."

"It's also possible that some new players have appeared recently."

The woman said indifferently. "After all, a lot of things have happened recently, not only the number of ferocious beasts has increased, but also the number of new players."

"That's right." The man nodded and asked. "What about now?"

"Go back and report what happened here. If it's a new player, go talk to him then."

"That's fine."

The man nodded, and a bottle of spray appeared out of thin air in his hand. After spraying it on the dried corpse, the corpse quickly melted, and then the two left.
