Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The beetles roared, and they suddenly turned their heads and stared at the purple people. Hatred emerged, and they rushed out recklessly. The purple people came back to their senses from fear, but in the next moment, the rolling momentum rushed over violently, leaving their minds blank again. And in the blank, they were torn to pieces by the beetles! In just a moment, the purple people were all slaughtered by the beetles! At this point, the brutality in the eyes of the beetles gradually dissipated, and they looked at Su Chen one after another, showing respect and passion. "King..."

"Thank you for saving us!"

A slightly larger beetle, like a wild boar, said sincerely, with tears in his eyes.

It had many scars on its body and looked quite old.

Su Chen waved his hand, landed in front of the beetles from high in the sky, and asked. "Can you tell me who those people are?"

The old beetle nodded and said. "They call themselves the poison master clan and follow the orders of King Jia."

"Poison master?"

Su Chen thought for a while. Each of these guys has the ability to control poison, so it's no problem to call them poison masters.

But...

"Who is King Jia?"

"The king of this forest."

Su Chen nodded and understood.

King Jia, the king of the beetle kingdom.

Su Chen frowned, a little puzzled. "You mean, these poison masters are following King Jia's orders to treat you harshly?"

"Yes."

The old beetle said sadly. "Since the death of the last King A, the new King A took the throne, and these poison masters have appeared on our land. They obeyed the orders of King A and planted flower gardens and many exotic plants in various places."

"Many beetles were enslaved and worked for them."

"Anyone who disobeys will be killed."

"Some beetles even united to resist, but they were eventually suppressed."

"We were unable to resist and were captured here to cultivate these flowers and plants and collect nectar."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded, and many more doubts appeared in his heart.

It seems that it is not that the Spirit Tribe and the Ant Nest do not know about the poison masters, but that there were no poison masters in the Beetle Kingdom before.

It was only after the new king took the throne that these poison masters appeared in the Beetle Kingdom.

It seems that the new King A is actually a tyrant?

Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly, shook his head, and asked. "I have saved you, what are you going to do next?"

The old beetle said. "Next... we will probably leave here."

"The Beetle Kingdom is no longer what we imagined. If we continue to stay here, we will die. We can only survive if we leave here."

"In that case, then you go in that direction. There is a passage to leave the Beetle Forest." Su Chen pointed out the way for them.

Although he was the King of Insects and saw many insects suffering after coming here, he had no intention of overthrowing the regime here.

Not to mention whether he could do it with his own strength, he didn't know enough about this place, so he naturally wouldn't make a decision easily.

Hearing this, the beetles' eyes suddenly showed gratitude.

After saying goodbye to Su Chen, they left in a hurry.

It was obvious that they had developed fear of this place and wanted to escape quickly.

But before leaving, the old beetle said. "King, the poison master here has been killed, and the poison masters in other places will definitely notice it. You have to be careful of their pursuit."

"Don't worry, I will."

Su Chen smiled and nodded to show that he knew.

Then the old beetle left.

Su Chen shook his head and stopped wasting time. He looked at the flowerbeds around him, activated his magic eye, and relevant information emerged in his mind.

[Purple Poison Flower, a special flower that produces highly poisonous nectar. ]

"Flowers that produce highly poisonous nectar?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

The poison master controls the poison.

These flowers are also highly poisonous.

No wonder the poison master needs it.

But it seems that this has nothing to do with the Armor King. Why did he give such an order to the poison master?

Su Chen was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he carefully came to the most colorful flower and used the magic eye to check it out.

[Purple Poison Flower King, a special flower that is a rare variation of purple poison flowers. Unlike ordinary purple poison flowers, the Purple Poison Flower King has a unique effect and is a treasure.

, after being taken by different creatures, different effects will be produced. 】

"Is it non-toxic?"

Su Chen was relieved after seeing the introduction, picked the flower and put it in his backpack.

This is a treasure, but there is no useful information from the introduction, and I don't know what will happen if I take it.

After thinking about it, Su Chen stuffed it into his mouth.

Since it is useful to me, it will not be harmful to me if I eat it.

Sure enough.

The purple poison flower king melted immediately after entering the mouth, turning into a cold liquid and flowing into the body.

Immediately afterwards, a tingling sensation swept through the body, causing Su Chen to frown slightly.

The feeling was not strong, but it was still within Su Chen's tolerance range.

And this feeling came and went quickly, and it disappeared without a trace in a short while.

Su Chen immediately noticed the changes in himself.

There were more lavender patterns on the shell, making him look more mysterious and handsome.

At this time, the display box in front of him popped up and the prompt appeared.

[You have taken the Purple Poison Flower King, and you have gained the ability: poison resistance. ]

"Did you gain the ability directly?"

Su Chen looked surprised. He gained the ability directly without any increase in attributes.

And this ability...

Su Chen's eyes lit up and he checked it out.

[Poison resistance: You have resistance to poison, but you still can't escape death in front of some deadly toxins. ]

"This ability..."

There is no improvement in combat power, but Su Chen is quite satisfied with it.

Apart from anything else, toxins are always hard to guard against. After all, no matter how powerful a person is, he may be killed by poison.

Poison resistance is not only a means of defense in this regard in the game.

The most important thing is that in reality, you don't have to worry about being poisoned.

"Not bad."

Thinking of this, Su Chen smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he came to the purple armored man he had killed before and searched the body.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

"How come there is no storage equipment? Poor guy."

Su Chen curled his lips, and with a thought, he absorbed and digested it.

Although these guys look like humans, they are obviously different from humans. Strictly speaking, they are more like sub-humans.

In addition to the evolution points, he did not get anything from the swallowing and digestion.

Su Chen could only turn to the building next to him, trying to find something useful.

But in the end, Su Chen left empty-handed and found nothing.

Shortly after he left, some poison masters came here, looking at the traces of battle everywhere around, and some areas stained red with blood.

A group of poison masters looked gloomy.

"They were killed!"

"Who?"

"Could it be those beetles?"

"Damn bugs, they must not be let go, immediately give orders to hunt them down and investigate nationwide!"

"Yes."

Soon, after the poison masters confirmed that they had found nothing, they quickly left here.

Su Chen naturally didn't know about this.

After leaving the flower garden, Su Chen continued to head towards Chengdu, the beetle kingdom, using the wind to hide his figure and moving at full speed.

Soon, Su Chen arrived outside the city of the beetle kingdom.

Standing in the distance, there was a huge city in front of him, built with various materials such as stone and wood, which looked magnificent and unique in the style of beetles.

Many places were decorated with huge mushrooms, shells and other ornaments, which looked magnificent and solemn, and added a touch of fantasy.

But when he saw some of the situations outside the city gate, Su Chen couldn't help but frown slightly.

He saw many poison masters.

Some beetles were afraid to resist under the scolding of the poison master, and allowed to be beaten and scolded.

Only some powerful beetles can be regarded by the poison master.

This made Su Chen very confused.

"It's obviously the beetle kingdom, why does it look like the poison master kingdom now?"

The order of the king of armor?

Is there anything wrong with your brain?

I don't understand.

But in this way, Su Chen can't enter the city.

"The armored poison master could find my existence before, and other poison masters in the city may be able to do so."

Although the strength of the poison masters I met before was average, only the poison could threaten me, but this does not represent the strength of all poison masters.

Facing the unknown, Su Chen still remained cautious.

If he killed the poison master, it would obviously be regarded as an enemy by other poison masters, and the armor king, although he had not met yet, seemed to be mixed with the poison master.

His own insect king's power can control ordinary insects, but the armor king is not within the range.

In order to avoid accidents, Su Chen

After thinking for a while, he turned and left.

"Well, let's investigate the surroundings and see what the current situation of the Beetle Kingdom is like."

"If it doesn't work, let's go to the thunderstorm land."

Whispering, Su Chen's figure disappeared on the spot.

......

A moment later.

Su Chen appeared on a forest road, looking up at the front, a group of poison masters rode on huge beetles, their eyes were numb, and some goods were dragged behind them.

At this moment, these poison masters stared at Su Chen with cold voices. "Get out of the way, bug! Don't block the road!"

After saying that, a poison master directly picked up the whip at his waist and whipped over.

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a hint of coldness rose in Su Chen's eyes. With a thought, a wisp of strong wind was released, and the whip was cut off instantly.

This scene immediately made several poison masters angry.

Just as they were about to take action, they saw Su Chen's figure flash and disappear on the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of a poison master. With the swing of the mantis knife, a head fell directly to the ground.

The other poison masters changed color.

"This mantis..."

"It's very powerful, let's do it together!"

"Kill it!"

Angry voices rang out.

Purple mist or liquid suddenly burst out from the hands of a poison master and engulfed Su Chen.

"This ability, as long as you know it, will not have any effect."

Su Chen's voice was light, and he took a step forward with some disdain. The pale wind burst out instantly, and a terrifying tornado was rolled up in front of him, as if the wind god roared, and all the purple toxins were directly rolled into it and flew away.

Then, Su Chen swung his two knives, and a series of slashes appeared and flew away.

The sound of puffing kept ringing.

A poison master was beheaded and died while blood was splattered.

In a flash, all these poison masters died in Su Chen's hands.

Such a scene also made the beetles have some hope in their eyes.

A beetle expressed gratitude to Su Chen. "Mr. Mantis, thank you... for saving us."

Su Chen waved his hand. "Don't worry, just leave now."

While speaking, he flashed and came to the truck towed by the beetles.

He appeared here not to save these beetles.

He just happened to see and vaguely felt something in these goods, so he came here.

There were closed wooden barrels on the truck. Su Chen waved the mantis knife, and a wooden barrel was opened, and a special smell suddenly emanated.

Looking at the liquid inside, Su Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of enlightenment.

"It turned out to be these things..."

...

Fifth update, there is one more update.
