Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The best time to see a baby is a happy occasion.

"Today is my lucky day?"

Su Chen chuckled in his heart and asked the squirrel. "What's the matter?"

Songguo said. "It's my child. He also went to the Spirit Tribe seven days ago. He said he wanted to learn how to fight and protect me. But for some reason, he didn't come back after seven days, and there's no news. I'm a little worried. If you see him in the Spirit Tribe, please tell him that his mother misses him."

"By the way, my child is called Songzi."

"Well, he looks like me."

Hearing this, Su Chen looked at Songguo carefully and nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll remember. I'll help you find it when we get to the Spirit Tribe."

"Thank you, Mr. Mantis, you're such a good bug." Song Guo smiled gratefully.

Such praise is unnecessary... Su Chen's mouth curled up helplessly.

Song Guo asked. "Mr. Mantis, I don't know your name yet?"

"Just call me Qing."

"Mr. Qing, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Song Guo quickly climbed back into his tree hole to search, and soon came out with a pine cone in his arms.

"Mr. Qing, this is my reward for you, please accept it."

The pine cone was very big, and Su Chen felt it, but found that it was just an ordinary pine cone, not the opportunity he thought.

"So it's in her child?"

Su Chen thought in his heart, nodded, put the pine cone into his backpack, and then said goodbye to the pine cone.

On the way to the location of the spiritual tribe, Su Chen opened his backpack and checked the information of the pine cones, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

[Hundred-year-old pine cones. ]

[Description: There is a chance that pine cones will grow on hundred-year-old pine trees. After taking them, you can restore your energy. ]

"Not bad. Although it is not the opportunity I want, it is also very useful."

It can be used in daily battles.

Turning off the backpack panel, Su Chen set off with concentration, running fast all the way. Occasionally, he would encounter the induction of foragers, but it was not an opportunity, but a danger.

Several times, large wild animals were fighting, and the movement was very loud. On the way, he accidentally encountered a saber-toothed tiger fighting with a giant python. The roar alone almost shocked Su Chen to death.

While Su Chen sighed at the horror of these large animals, he also took a detour.

During the period, he also encountered some insect enemies, which Su Chen did not let go. As long as he saw them, he would directly attack and hone his fighting skills.

...

In the forest.

In the lush grass, with a wheeze, Su Chen was covered in green light. This was the state he entered after the wind-riding ability was activated, which allowed him to sense the flow of the wind, and thus easily use the wind to speed up his speed, making all his movements faster.

At this moment, he was facing a colorful caterpillar with spiky hairs all over its body, spewing out a mouthful of purple venom, which contained a strong poison that could easily corrode the weeds.

Relying on the wind, Su Chen easily opened more, and then flapped his hind wings, suddenly a green light flashed, and he rushed forward in an instant.

With a puff, as the liquid flowed, the caterpillar's body split into two and turned into a cold corpse.

Looking at the corpse, Su Chen exhaled, stood in place, and recalled the battle just now, and had some new insights.

"As expected of an ability obtained through a special treasure, the wind-riding is indeed powerful."

In Su Chen's view, the wind-riding ability was just an improvement in speed.

But after many battles, he found that riding the wind not only improved his speed, but also his agility and attack speed.

With the power of the wind, all his actions were faster than usual.

Attack, dodge, charge, etc.

This was something Su Chen had never discovered before.

"The abilities obtained in this game are not fixed like the skills in ordinary games, but can be continuously developed." Su Chen realized.

Unfortunately, he can only continuously develop riding the wind, not the iron skin. Strictly speaking, the iron skin is a passive ability and cannot be further developed.

Concentrating his mind, the physical strength after the battle was almost restored during this period of aftertaste. Su Chen approached the corpse and absorbed it directly.

Soon, the corpse flattened and turned into a piece of insect skin, but there was a bulge inside.

Seeing this, Su Chen's eyes lit up.

"Is there any material?"

Waving the right knife, he cut the insect skin open, and sure enough, a purple silk thread came into view.

[You picked up the material: poison tendon. 】

【Poisonous tendons: tendons that grow in the body of a poisonous creature.

Contains strong toxins, and has certain uses. 】

"Haha, today is indeed my lucky day."

Looking at this introduction, Su Chen couldn't help laughing. After all, the material is not in every enemy's body, but there is a probability of birth. Being able to obtain the material can only mean that his luck today is indeed good.

And this is a new material.

After Su Chen checked it, he was given a big surprise. The poison tendons actually have a high adaptability to his internal organs.

Poison tendons, internal organs adaptability: 72%.

The adaptability of 72 is definitely far inferior to the previous wind leaf, but it is not low. This adaptability is likely to allow Su Chen to gain an ability.

Of course, this ability is probably related to poison.

So after Su Chen thought for a while, he shook his head and did not choose to strengthen it immediately.

Although insects and poisons are very compatible, he is a mantis, which is a bit unmatched.

"Let's make plans after going to the spirit tribe."

Su Chen murmured.

When I saw Lin fighting before, he had equipment. This means that although the Spiritual Tribe is a tribe of little people, it should be no different from a normal tribe of intelligent creatures. There are blacksmiths who make equipment, and there may be a demand for these materials. When the time comes, he may be able to exchange them for something he needs.

Without hesitation, Su Chen continued to set off.

After running for more than three hours, he was not far from the location of the Spiritual Tribe.

Finally, after another quarter of an hour, a high mound of earth came into view.

Seeing the mound, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly. "Finally here."

Take out the map and take a look, Su Chen nodded in confirmation, yes, this is it.

Put away the map and take out the spoon, Su Chen blew it directly, and then waited quietly.

After a while, a large stone in the mound was moved from the inside, revealing a dark cave, and then a little man who looked similar to Lin he had seen before poked his head out and his eyes fell on Su Chen.

"I've never seen a mantis before. Were you the one who whistled just now?"

"Yes."

Su Chen took out a whistle and gestured.

Seeing the whistle, the little man's vigilance faded a little, and he said. "It's okay with the whistle. Please come up. I'll take you to the tribe."

Su Chen asked curiously. "Hey, isn't your tribe here?"

The little man smiled and said. "Of course, this is on the ground, too dangerous. In order to avoid danger, the tribe is located deep underground. This is just an entrance, and it's still a long way from the tribe."
