Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The people in Lingxu were naturally not aware of what was happening outside.

In Lingxu.

In the vast forest.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.

At this time, in a corner of the forest, Su Chen, holding Cangfeng in his hand, killed a wild boar four or five meters tall in front of him with one knife, and then looked at the corpse of a human player beside him, frowning.

"I'm late again."

The forest was huge, so even if Su Chen rode the centipede to travel quickly, sometimes he would still be a step late, allowing some beast players to successfully kill human players.

Of course, he also saved a lot of them.

So far, all the seven beast players found by the insects in this forest have been killed by Su Chen, but it is not ruled out that there are still some that the insects have not found.

Thinking of this, Su Chen turned his head to look at the centipede behind him and ordered. "Keep looking. If you find it, immediately follow my breath and tell me."

"Yes, King..."

The centipede bowed his head respectfully and turned away.

After watching the centipede disappear, Su Chen walked to the wild boar. A stream of light flew into the mark on the back of his hand, and a prompt popped up in his eyes.

[You have obtained the player's relics. ]

[Your backpack grid +10. ]

[You have randomly obtained an item from the player's relics: Iron Essence. ]

"Iron Essence?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and clicked to check.

[Iron Essence: The essence extracted from iron ore can be used to strengthen some limbs or weapons and make them hard. 】

"Not bad."

Su Chen took it out and wiped it directly at his Cangfeng. The surface of Cangfeng flashed and absorbed it directly.

After waving it, Su Chen put away Cangfeng, looked down at the beast corpse in front of him, absorbed it directly, and as the thought moved, the strong wind on his body gushed out, lifted the soil on the ground, buried the player's body beside him, and formed a simple grave.

Although Su Chen did not get any useful information from these beast players.

But it is certain that the beast players are indeed hunting humans.

And these beast players all have hunting stones.

But more importantly, it is...

"After killing the player, they will take the player's body away..."

This is the sign Su Chen found when he found some beast players.

Perhaps this is the reason why the beast players hunt human players.

"To eat? Or for other purposes?"

Su Chen touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

It's not that he hadn't thought about letting some beast players escape after discovering them, and seeing if he could track them down and find their lair.

But most beast players are extremely sensitive, especially in terms of smell, and it's easy to detect his presence. Even if they run away because of fear of his strength, they will only run around and will not take him to the place where beast players gather.

In desperation, Su Chen could only kill him.

"Is it really related to the golden blood?"

Su Chen murmured, touching his chin.

Or is it not just the golden blood, but the golden master?

Thinking of this, Su Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance.

After a while, he shook his head and didn't continue to dwell on it. Instead, he extended his wings behind him, waved them lightly, and ran directly in the direction of the mad lion.

If he really came for the golden blood, then the tribe where the mad lion was might be able to get some useful information.

Flying at high speed, Su Chen returned to the position of the mad lion in a short time.

At this time, he was hunting a beast, lighting a bonfire, and roasting the beast's body.

With Su Chen's arrival, the mad lion stood up and said respectfully. "Your Highness."

"It seems that you have recovered a lot from your injuries."

Su Chen smiled faintly after glancing at the mad lion's body, and at the same time he raised his hand and waved it gently.

A rustling sound was heard in the dark, and the figures of some insects were moving away.

The mad lion scratched his head and smiled foolishly. "Hehe, of course, although I am not the strongest warrior in the tribe, there are not many guys who can compare with me in terms of recovery ability."

"Not bad."

Su Chen nodded. In this way, maybe they can set off at dawn tomorrow.

"By the way, Your Highness, have you eaten? I just grilled meat, would you like to have some?" The mad lion invited.

Su Chen thought about it, nodded, and agreed.

The mad lion immediately showed a happy smile, tore off a piece of thigh and handed it to Su Chen respectfully.

After receiving it, Su Chen took a bite and praised

. "Not bad."

It was the first time I ate the meat roasted by the orcs. It tasted pretty good.

Or maybe it was because the meat of the beasts here was of excellent quality. Even without seasoning, it tasted very delicious.

A beast corpse that was seven or eight meters long was quickly eaten up by Crazy Lion and Su Chen, leaving only a pile of bones.

The night was getting darker.

After dinner, both of them leaned against a tree to rest.

Crazy Lion fell into a deep sleep soon, perhaps because his injuries had not been fully recovered.

Su Chen jumped onto a tree and was about to rest when he frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something.

"Is there a worm king calling in the worm nest network?"

Closing his eyes, Su Chen did not hesitate and directly entered the worm nest network.

In front of the huge round table.

At this time, a vague figure appeared in front of the seventh seat.

When Su Chen looked up, the other party also looked over and made a surprised sound. "Seventeenth seat, newcomer?"

Su Chen nodded.

At the same time, around the round table, some other seats also began to light up a vague figure.

One of the figures looked at the seventh seat and asked. "Lin Dong, long time no see, why are you calling us suddenly?"

The voice was familiar, Su Chen pondered for a while and then remembered that this was the fourteenth seat, Yin Feng, whom he had met before.

Su Chen looked at the eleventh and twelfth seats again, and they also lit up. It seemed that Hei Li and You Lan had also come in.

Lin Dong said lightly. "I called you in for a reason."

"I have entered the ancient land and found a good thing, so let's see if you need it."

"If you need it, I will stay, if not, I will send it to the treasure house."

"Oh?"

Hei Li's tone was surprised. "You actually entered there?"

You Lan said in a deep voice. "Ancient land... Hehe, be careful not to die there like the third seat."

Did the third seat die in the ancient land?

After hearing the news, Su Chen calmly looked at the third seat, which was actually the position where Su Chen checked the first message.

Now it is vacant. I thought it was because he didn't come up for some reason, but I didn't expect that he was dead.

Winter said calmly. "Since I can come here, I naturally have the confidence to survive. In comparison, you should look at this."

In front of it, a piece of jade emitting hot golden light suddenly appeared, illuminating the space for a while, as if emitting the light of the sun.

Looking at this jade, a series of hot eyes suddenly emerged.

Su Chen looked at it with the light of the magic eye in his eyes, and took a deep breath.

[The fragments of the ancient sun have been placed in the temple of the ancient sun sect, containing a trace of the power of the sun. But with the sinking of the ancient earth and the extinction of the sun, the sun sect disappeared in the long river of history. The fragments of the sun are also missing. 】

Damn.

Baby!

Although I don't know what this thing is used for, I know it's not simple after reading the introduction. After all, it is a fragment of the ancient sun and contains a trace of the power of the sun.

"Fragments of the sun... Have you found the temple of the Sun Cult?" Yinfeng couldn't help asking after being shocked for a long time.

"Yeah." Lindong nodded.

"Sure enough, their temple is in the ancient land!"

After getting a positive answer, Yinfeng's tone gradually became excited. "If the temple of the Sun Cult is in the ancient land, doesn't that mean... the Moon Cult is also there?"

"Hehe, you don't want to go too, do you?" Youlan laughed charmingly. "With your strength, it will be a dead end if you go, Yinfeng."

"Huh... I know, you don't need to tell me, Youlan!" Yinfeng took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a cold tone. "But at least, I will definitely go there."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the radiant jade and shook his head. "Good stuff, but unfortunately, it's not suitable for me."

"I don't need it either." Youlan spoke second.

"The sun... If it were those guys in the Natural Ancient Forest, they might go crazy, but unfortunately, we can't use it."

Other insect kings spoke up one after another.

Hearing this, Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to say "I want it", no matter whether it is useful to him, but this kind of treasure will definitely be useful in his hands.

But unfortunately, he knew that this kind of thing is not for free, and he needs to take out something of equal value in exchange, and he doesn't have a treasure of equal value.

Listening to the words of the insect kings, Winter collected the fragments of the ancient sun.

"Well, if you don't need it, I'll send it to the treasury later."

"In addition, do you have anything else? If

If you have nothing else to say, I will leave. "

There was silence at the round table.

Blurred figures shook their heads.

Su Chen had nothing to say, so he was ready to leave.

But at this time, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Lord of Gold, do you know?"

"Lord of Gold?"

Yin Feng turned his head to look at Su Chen's position, glanced at Su Chen's seat, and shook his head. "A familiar name... seems to be the name of a god."

Eighth seat: "I have heard that a powerful god once seemed to have fallen later."

Fifth seat: "It is indeed a god, a huge lion galloping on the ancient land, known as the source of gold, the source of wild beasts, and the source of the blood of beasts on the earth. It is praised by the Golden Sect, and its believers call themselves Golden Cultists."

"The era of his existence is too long, even in the insect nest, not much information is known."

"But... Mother will definitely be interested! "

Mother?

Su Chen raised his eyebrows. If I remember correctly, it seemed to be the title of a true king, right?

Just when Su Chen wanted to ask why his mother was interested, there was a tearing sound, like the sound of cloth being torn apart.

Su Chen suddenly looked up.

Dense eyes opened in the darkness above his head, and a puzzled voice came.

"Lord of Gold...?"
