Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The moment he jumped into the pool, he felt a chill.

But the next moment, the water-repellent beads worked, like an invisible piece of clothing draped over Su Chen's body, allowing him to breathe freely under the water and isolate the chill.

"It's so deep."

Looking down, Su Chen looked surprised.

The bottom of the pool was almost bottomless, and it was deep.

Su Chen urged the forager to sense it and breathed a sigh of relief.

This unknown and mysterious place always makes people curious and a little scary, but fortunately he did not find any danger, so he swam boldly downward.

Occasionally, Su Chen would see some fish swimming by.

All the way down, Su Chen felt that he had gone down hundreds of meters, and the end was still far away.

However, some traces found on the edge of the wall made Su Chen's eyes flash with understanding.

Some walls were inlaid with shiny scales. After looking closely, it was easy to find that they were the sword scales on the giant python.

"It seems that the giant beast dug it out and used this place as its own nest."

Su Chen murmured and continued to go down.

Gradually, he reached the bottom. The deepest part was not dark, but bright, with special aquatic plants emitting a dim light.

The bottom was full of silt. In addition, there were many bones buried in the silt, which were probably the food of the giant python.

"Where is the treasure?"

Su Chen thought about it, looked around, and did not find any signs of the existence of treasures. He could not help but activate the forager talent and sense it.

Soon, Su Chen opened his eyes, locked the position, and came to a silt, showing an expectant smile.

The forager sensed very clearly that the treasure was in the mud.

Raising his right hand, the strong wind raged, constantly lifting the mud. After a moment, a golden bright light suddenly bloomed.

At the same time, Su Chen was stunned, and subconsciously tensed up, as if he felt a frightening breath.

Gurgle.

"What is this?"

Su Chen looked at the object in front of him with horror. Through the golden light, he could see that it was a scale, a golden, smooth scale without any signs of decay.

The frightening breath was emitted from the scale.

Obviously, the source of this scale is extraordinary. He did not reach out to take it immediately, but a blue light flickered in his eyes, and he checked the information of the scale.

[The scale that fell from the Lord of Gold once contained divine brilliance, but as it fell off the god and lost the power of the god, and with the passage of time, the energy it originally contained gradually dissipated. But even so, it is still a treasure with rare abilities. 】

You don't know until you see it, and you'll be shocked when you see it.

The information in his mind made Su Chen's eyes widen instantly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"The scale of the Lord of Gold?"

"Hiss!"

"How is it possible?"

Su Chen was excited and unbelievable at the same time.

The scale of the Lord of Gold actually appeared here. Could it be that there was a battle in the sky above this area, and he was injured, causing a scale to fall here?

Su Chen's breathing became rapid involuntarily.

Although I don't know what this scale is used for, there is no doubt that it is an absolute treasure.

Without any hesitation, Su Chen directly put it into his backpack, then opened the attribute panel and checked it.

"If the scale of the Lord of Gold can be used as an evolution material, wouldn't it be directly invincible?"

Su Chen murmured happily and tried it immediately.

But unfortunately, he frowned the next second.

A frightening palpitation rose from the bottom of his heart.

"It doesn't work?"

Su Chen was a little confused.

This feeling meant that if he used this scale as an evolution material, it would lead to his own death.

But the golden blood can be used, why not the golden scale?

After all, both of them are from the Golden Lord.

Tsk.

Scratching his head, Su Chen was a little helpless.

"It seems that I have to find another use."

Fortunately, although the scale of the Golden Lord cannot be used as his own evolution material, Su Chen quickly thought of how to use this scale.

"Doesn't the mother need something related to the Golden Lord? A scale of a god is of extraordinary value, right?"

Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

The mother is a true king,

The strength must be extremely strong, and there must be many treasures in his hands. Judging from the situation in the insect nest, if I take out a scale of the Lord of Gold, the other party must at least take out an item of equal value.

And this is the other party's request, the value of the item may be higher than the golden scale.

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately closed the attribute panel and felt relieved.

Can't be used as my own evolution material? It doesn't matter, then go and change it for one that suits me.

Looking around, Su Chen continued to activate the forager talent and sensed to see if there were other treasures.

After all, there are golden scales. What if the Lord of Gold dropped a bone here at some time in the past?

Obviously, he thought too much.

After a sense, there was nothing.

"Tsk, I guess if there was really a good thing, it would have been eaten up by the giant python long ago."

Su Chen cursed.

As for why this scale is still there, maybe it is not suitable for it.

This is the only reason Su Chen could think of.

Shaking his head, Su Chen stopped thinking and returned to the pond.

The breath of the insect king emanated, and some insects quickly appeared in front of Su Chen. Su Chen casually rode on an insect, and without wasting time, he immediately ordered the other party to take him to the location of the next giant beast.

......

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a new day arrived.

The next day.

In a canyon.

The sky-high slash rose from the ground, and in an instant, it cut off the head of a Tyrannosaurus.

Blood splashed, dyeing the ground red.

Su Chen exhaled, walked to the corpse step by step, devoured the corpse, cut open the hide, and a drop of golden blood came into view.

"Sure enough, there is only one drop."

Picking up the golden blood, Su Chen sighed.

From yesterday to now, he has not rested much in the evening, but up to now, the number of golden blood has not been collected, and with the drop in front of him, only nine drops have been collected.

Even though there are many giant beasts in this area, it is too difficult to find too many at once.

Many giant beasts will not stay in one place for too long unless they have a territory, but will move around everywhere.

Just like the Tyrannosaurus that he just killed, it has been running around and hunting powerful beasts.

"But fortunately, there are not many left."

Su Chen shook his head, looked back and asked a huge centipede. "Are there any other giant beasts?"

"No, King."

The centipede shook his head and replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Su Chen waved his hand. "Okay, keep looking, and let me know if you find anything."

"Yes, King."

The centipede nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Su Chen no longer stayed in place. With a thought, the wings behind him extended and flew directly towards the location of the orc tribe.

Coincidentally, after a night, he also planned to go to Tang Wei and others to see if they had found anything.

After a while, Su Chen arrived above the orc tribe.

"Huh?"

Looking at Wang Cheng, who was waving excitedly at him alone, Su Chen looked puzzled and asked. "Why are you here?"

"Haha, boss, I finally waited for you."

Seeing Su Chen, Wang Cheng walked up to him happily and said. "I met Team Tang and the others yesterday, and I explored with them. It happened that Team Tang and the others made some discoveries, so they asked me to wait for you here and take you there."

"Some discoveries?" Su Chen's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"Yes, boss, you will know if you come with me. It's not far from here." Wang Cheng nodded.

Su Chen did not refuse, and followed Wang Cheng to leave the orc tribe and walked towards the back. After about half an hour, the two came to a ravine.

"Boss, this is it, Team Tang and the others are in it." Wang Cheng pointed to the ravine and said.

"I found it."

Su Chen said with a strange look on his face.

When he came here, he used the wind to sense that Tang Wei and the others were indeed inside.

But what surprised him was that there was actually a crack under the ravine that led directly to the ground. It was very secretive and blocked by a lot of weeds and boulders. He didn't know how Tang Wei and the others found it.

Following Wang Cheng into the crack under the ravine, Wang Cheng raised a finger, and sparks came out to illuminate the way ahead.

After a while, Su Chen saw the figures of Tang Wei and others. At this time, they were standing in front of a cave waiting.

"Su Chen, you are finally here."

Tang Wei turned around when she heard the footsteps, and when she saw Su Chen, she immediately walked over excitedly.

"What are you doing?"

Su Chen looked at the cave in front of him with a puzzled look.

Tang Wei did not immediately understand.

Instead of explaining, he pulled Su Chen to the front of the cave and said. "I think this cave should lead to a place."

"Leading to a place?"

"Yes, and it is very likely to lead to the area deep in the orc cave."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Su Chen raised his eyebrows. "How do you know?"

Tang Wei pointed at the cave. "Before you came, we actually went in. Do you know where this cave leads to?"

"Where?"

Tang Wei said excitedly. "A place full of gold."

"Really, all gold."

"Everything there is made of gold, whether it is soil, rocks or plants, it is completely a huge golden underground space."

Speaking of which, they found this place by chance. It was a crack that an official member found when he fell into a ravine while hunting a ferocious beast while preparing lunch.

And after exploring all the way, they found a deeper cave.

And this cave was not dug by humans. After Tang Wei's observation, it was speculated that it was dug by some beasts that were good at digging underground.

With curiosity, they went in to explore and found that this cave led directly to an underground space full of gold.

That space was very mysterious.

Almost at the moment of arriving at the golden space, everyone felt a great pressure and felt like kneeling down.

And there were some golden creatures living there, and they were very powerful.

Originally, they wanted to continue exploring forward, but just in case, they decided to notify Su Chen first.

After listening to Tang Wei's words, Su Chen touched his chin and pondered. "So...you plan to continue exploring forward?"

"Yes."

Tang Wei nodded and said. "If this is the area leading to the depths of the cave of the orc tribe, then we must go there. After all, according to your speculation, those beast players will probably go there too."

"Personally, I will definitely want to investigate the purpose of the beast players."

"As for the others, they want to explore inside and look for treasures."

Tang Wei said solemnly. "That pressure... maybe the orcs are not lying, there may really be a god's skeleton lying under this mountain!"

Maybe there is danger, but no one can refuse to explore.

After all, in a place with god's skeleton, no one knows what kind of treasures will exist there.

And as an official member, she also has the idea of ​​investigating the purpose of the beast players.

Hearing Tang Wei's words, Su Chen nodded and became interested.

When he was about to agree to enter the cave with Tang Wei and others, he suddenly seemed to notice something, his expression was slightly startled, and then he looked back and raised the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that we have to act separately."
