Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The more you look at the heart, the more you can get it.

Fuck.

I want it so badly!

Su Chen licked his lips, his eyes burning.

Although he didn't know what the effect was, since it was a divine item, it must be extraordinary, right?

Unfortunately, he couldn't get it.

Above the divine skeleton, a golden semicircular light shield enveloped the entire island in the middle of the lake.

And above the light, there were two silver-white chains, as if to prohibit any living creature from entering.

And as the place of divine skeleton, to be honest, both the divine item and the heart were extremely tempting, but Su Chen really didn't dare to approach easily.

He had seen the power of the gods, even if it was a dead god, no one knew whether it was dangerous.

If it was in the game, he wouldn't mind trying it.

But unfortunately it is not now.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Su Chen decided to observe secretly to see how the beast players and cultists planned to act.

"Speaking of which, haven't Tang Wei and the others arrived yet?"

Su Chen whispered in his heart, looking around, and the invisible wind immediately drifted out with a thought.

The next moment, Su Chen frowned and turned his head to look in two different directions.

"Are there so many entrances to this place?"

He had not discovered the three different directions of the huge golden lake before, but at this moment, under the perception of the wind, Su Chen keenly noticed that there were different entrances in different directions.

Including the one he came from, there are three in total.

"The cave that Tang Wei and the others walked through should be one, and I don't know where the entrance of the other one is."

"And... where are the orcs?"

Su Chen's eyes flashed with doubt.

It has been a while since he came here, and he has not found the existence of the orcs under the perception of the wind.

I don't know if they left or didn't arrive here.

Hmm?

At this time, Su Chen looked up and saw the cultists and beast players making some moves.

The purple-clothed cultist looked at one of his men and nodded. Immediately, an illusory figure appeared behind the man, turning into a ferocious purple venomous snake, with purple liquid all over his body, which looked particularly disgusting.

The cultist suddenly jumped over the lake and headed towards the island in the middle of the lake. He waved his hands in the air, and the purple venom condensed around his body and turned into a stream of water to hit the golden light shield.

With a bang, the venom fell on the light shield, causing ripples on the light shield, without any signs of breaking.

Just as the cultist was about to fall back to the shore, he saw a golden light burst out from the light shield, and a beam of light shot out in an instant and hit the cultist.

"Ah!"

A painful scream sounded, and the cultist's entire body, whether flesh or clothes, turned into a pure gold statue at a speed visible to the naked eye, and fell into the golden lake with a bang.

This scene made Su Chen's pupils shrink.

"Sure enough, we can't just do it casually."

He couldn't help but exclaim.

The strange means could actually transform living beings into gold, just like the rumored Medusa petrified people.

Such a scene also made the purple-clothed cultist frown and look at the Rat King. "Just as you said, there are indeed some powers left by the gods in the place where the god's bones are, which are difficult to break."

"Next, it's up to you."

Do they have the ability to break the light shield?

Hearing the words of the purple-clothed cultist, Su Chen's expression moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the Rat King.

I saw the Rat King waved his hand, and the beast players behind him jumped directly into the air and rushed towards the golden light shield, and then a group of scarlet blood immediately appeared in front of him.

Su Chen looked at it with a gloomy expression as he swayed the blue light in his eyes.

"Human blood..."

"So that's why they want to hunt humans?"

Su Chen suddenly understood.

I had wondered why the beast players would hunt humans before. They were prepared, otherwise they wouldn't have brought the Hunter Stone in advance, but I didn't expect the purpose to be here.

The scarlet blood fell on the golden light shield. The light shield did not fluctuate at all, but the silver-white chain began to tremble. On the chain, there were even traces of cracks, and there were signs of breaking!

"Hahaha, it really works."

Seeing this scene, the Rat King raised a ferocious smile on his face and laughed.

But soon, the signs of breaking stopped, and the Rat King's smile stopped abruptly, with scarlet light flashing in his eyes. "Damn, it's not enough."

"More blood is needed!"

The moment the voice fell, a cold murderous intent appeared in the Rat King's eyes, and he fiercely

He swung his claws and turned into black light and swept away.

With a puff, the beast players who had not yet fallen in the air died tragically, their bodies shattered, and blood fell on the light shield, and the signs of the chain breaking began again.

"Not enough!"

The Rat King's eyes were cold, and his eyes swept over the only three beast players left behind him, and then turned his head to look at the purple-clothed cultist.

"The light shield is the manifestation of the power left by the gods, and the chain is the manifestation of the gods' will. Only by breaking the chain first can the attack actually fall on the light shield and break it."

"I don't have many men left, it's your turn next."

Hearing this, the purple-clothed cultist nodded, but did not refuse, but did not agree immediately, but asked softly. "It's okay, but Your Highness the Rat King, can you tell me why you have to use our blood?"

"Humph."

The Rat King snorted coldly and said. "It's okay to tell you, because this spiritual ruins is full of the breath of the Lord of Gold, and the bodies of all the creatures here are the same."

"If we use their blood, not only will the chain not be broken, but it will strengthen it and become harder."

"Only we, because we are outsiders and have nothing to do with the Lord of Gold, can break it."

"I see."

The purple-clothed cultist nodded and asked calmly. "Then... why can only blood break the chain?"

The Rat King still did not hide it. "That's because the chain does not exist in reality, but is a manifestation of will. It seems to exist, but no attack can affect it."

"Only blood is different. Since becoming a player, our blood contains extraordinary power and our own will. Only blood can actually touch the chain and use the extraordinary power contained in it to break it."

The purple-clothed cultist said lightly. "You didn't tell me this kind of news before, Your Highness the Rat King."

"You didn't ask, did you?" The Rat King said lightly.

The purple-robed cultist smiled, then looked at the ten cultists behind him and ordered. "It's time for you to dedicate yourself to our God, go."

As soon as the voice fell, the cultists' eyes showed fanaticism. Without any hesitation, they jumped to the light shield and raised their right hands in mid-air. With a puff, they pierced their hearts and took them out.

A large amount of blood splashed, splashing on the light shield like a waterfall.

A crackling sound was heard.

The chain broke faster and faster.

Until the next moment, there was a crackling sound.

The silver-white chain finally broke, turned into a silver-white light spot and disappeared into the air.

"Hahaha, next, then..."

"Hmm?"

As the silver-white chain broke, the Rat King smiled excitedly. Just as it was about to break the light shield, it suddenly realized something and stared at the golden lake in front of it.

Even the purple-robed cultist and the hidden Su Chen were the same.

At the moment the silver-white chain broke, a breath flashed under the lake.

Very quickly, but definitely there!

"Is there anyone who came before us?"

"Get out!"

The purple-robed cultist's voice was cold, and he raised his right hand and slapped the lake fiercely, and the black light blasted away.

Immediately, a blazing golden light blasted out of the golden lake, colliding with the black light and canceling each other out.

Then, one figure after another flew out and landed on the shore.

"Orcs?"

"So you have been hiding here?!"

The moment they saw these figures, the purple-robed cultist and the Rat King frowned.

That's right, all of these beings hiding at the bottom of the lake are orcs, a total of fifty or sixty.

Su Chen's pupils contracted, and he saw the mad lion at the back and the old priest at the front.

But at this time, the old priest looked at the broken light shield of the silver-white chain, and laughed with an excited smile on his face. "Hahaha, yes, it's us."

"Great, that's great."

"This damn restriction has finally disappeared, hahaha!"

"We can finally leave this damn ghost place, hahaha!"

He couldn't help laughing excitedly.

Even the orcs behind him were the same.

But when he heard this, the Rat King's expression changed slightly, and his pupils flashed with anger. "Restriction? You said those chains just now were restrictions?"

"Oh? Stupid beast, have you finally found it?"

The old priest looked at the Rat King, with a mocking look on his face.

Beast?

The Rat King's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he swung out a claw, tearing away the terrifying black light.

But the old orc didn't care, letting the black light tear him apart, but in the blink of an eye, golden light filled the air.

, it revived again.

It even straightened its clothes and showed a mocking smile. "Want to kill me? Unfortunately, I am immortal."

"Immortal?"

Su Chen, who had seen this scene before, didn't care.

But the Rat King showed a look of doubt.

It didn't believe it, and burst out with attacks again, not only targeting the old priest, but also other orcs.

The powerful destructive power easily tore them apart.

However, as the golden light spread, these dead orcs were revived in an instant.

Such a scene, even the purple-clothed cultists who had been calm all the time couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"Immortal? You all have this kind of heaven-defying ability?"

"No, this horror is not an ability?"

The purple-clothed cultist's eyes kept sweeping over the orcs, as if he had discovered something, and his expression was shocked.

He said in surprise. "You actually have the breath of a curse on you!"

"So, resurrection... is actually a curse?"

"Oh? Have you discovered it?"

Hearing this, the old priest raised his lips and chuckled. "Since I have discovered it, it doesn't matter if I tell you. Yes, this is a curse."

"A damn curse!"

As he spoke, his face became hideous, his voice became resentful, and he looked at the God's body and roared uncontrollably:

"And this curse is what He gave us."

"It is because of this damn curse that our clan is trapped in this damn place forever and cannot escape!"

"Because of this damn curse, we have to experience the torture of death every day!"

"He is the god we once believed in!!"

"But at the end of his life, he treated us like this! He deserves to die!"

"But... Fortunately, all this is about to end."

The old priest turned his head suddenly, staring at the cultists and the Rat King, and smiled coldly.

"Thanks to you, the ban has been broken, and we can finally leave this damn place."

"But before leaving, you have to die here."

"The secrets here must not be revealed."

"Besides you two, there is that guy!"

The old priest's pupils flashed with golden light, and he suddenly looked in the direction of Su Chen.

Hearing this, the cultists and the rat king turned their heads and looked behind them.

A pale gust of wind passed by, and Su Chen's figure slowly appeared, staring at the old priest with a little coldness in his eyes.

The old priest grinned. "See you again, human!"

Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth. "Yes, we meet again, the immortal old thing!"
