Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The yellow sand was blown up in the wind.

Su Chen stepped on the soft sand and walked forward.

Looking up and looking forward, the outline of a building came into view.

"Are we there yet?"

Su Chen took out the map and compared it. As expected, it was the building with an ancient well on the map.

This made Su Chen feel relieved. He had been walking in the desert for a long time and he was thirsty. If he didn't find any water, he might have to go offline and rest.

Su Chen quickened his pace and walked towards the ancient building.

As he got closer, Su Chen saw the details of the building clearly.

It was a building like a temple. Although it was eroded by wind and sand and filled with ancient atmosphere, it still stood here and did not collapse.

An ancient well can be clearly seen in the temple.

What made Su Chen frown was that he vaguely saw three figures sitting cross-legged beside the ancient well.

"Are there other people?"

I don't know if they have any bad intentions.

Su Chen muttered, but still walked towards the direction of the building.

As soon as he approached, perhaps because they noticed Su Chen's arrival, three figures in the temple came out. At this time, Su Chen also saw their true faces, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

This is a human race similar to the poison master clan he had seen before, but unlike the poison master, many parts of the skin of these three people have lines of the same color as yellow sand.

Three figures, with a strong aura.

At this moment, they are all looking at Su Chen.

"Mantis?"

"No!"

"Human... or, alien!"

An alien said with certainty, and excitement suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The other two people on the side were the same, looking at Su Chen with greed in their eyes.

Seeing this, Su Chen sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, they can't live in peace.

He asked in a deep voice. "The looks you three have given me make me uncomfortable, so do you three want to be my enemy?"

"Be your enemy?" The leader shook his head and said lightly. "You are just a second-evolved bug, and you don't have the qualifications for us to be your enemy."

"To be more precise, you are just a prey to be caught."

"And we are hunters."

He grinned, and as soon as he finished speaking, the three of them instantly drew out their scimitars from their waists and rushed over.

The scimitars were swung, and the three of them attacked from three different directions, and their aura locked Su Chen, which was particularly sharp.

Su Chen sighed and shook his head. "Prey? Hunter? It's still unknown."

The moment the voice fell, Su Chen's terrifying speed burst out and he disappeared instantly.

The attacks of the three people were directly missed!

"What?"

"Damn, such a fast speed."

"Where did you go?"

The three of them were shocked and looked around hurriedly, looking for Su Chen's location.

"No need to look, I'm next to you."

Su Chen's faint voice sounded, and he appeared beside one of them.

The sudden voice made him turn back suddenly, swinging his scimitar, and a fierce blow broke out in the yellow sand.

But Su Chen's movements were faster, waving his mantis knife, and his body was split in two between the flashes of the knife, and he died on the spot!

"Sand and dust!"

The other two saw this scene and were furious.

"Damn alien, looking for death!"

The anger rose, and brown marks immediately appeared on the foreheads of the two aliens. As their momentum soared, a cloud of sand and dust swept under Su Chen's feet.

"The power to control the mad sand?"

Su Chen frowned, and the strong wind on his body burst out wantonly, instantly repelling the mad sand.

Then there was a sound of breaking through the air in front of him. Su Chen looked up and saw that two aliens seized this opportunity to attack. The scimitars they were swinging were also wrapped in wild sand, exuding a heart-pounding breath.

Although I don’t know what the effect is, being hit will definitely not be good.

A hint of coldness flashed in Su Chen’s eyes, and his body swayed like a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles. Su Chen easily dodged the attacks of the two, and then danced wildly with his two swords.

The flash of the knife was accompanied by a whistling wind.

With a puff.

An alien was killed.

And the other alien screamed in pain, and an arm was cut off.

He hurriedly pulled away, watching two tribesmen die one after another, leaving only himself, and at the same time he was angry, he couldn’t help but feel a little terrified.

"Alien, I remember your breath, wait, you will be caught by my desert tribe sooner or later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped the ground with his remaining feet,

Dust rose up, immediately covering his whole body and sweeping him into the ground.

A desert tribe?

Su Chen remembered this alien, but then looked at the figure disappearing in front of him and sneered.

"Want to run?"

"Did I allow it?"

Since we have made enemies, we must kill them all!

The strong wind burst out wantonly, and in an instant, it rolled up the terrifying sand and dust, went deep into the ground, and spread in all directions.

"I found you."

Su Chen opened his eyes, flapped his wings behind him, and appeared directly in a place. He swung the mantis knife in his hand and slashed directly at the ground in front of him.

With a puff, a deep ditch was suddenly split in the desert.

The quicksand flowed, and the deep ditch closed quickly.

But in it, a touch of crimson seeped out, which was the color of blood, accompanied by a hint of bloody smell rising from the ground.

Su Chen restrained his killing intent and shook his head. "You can actually sneak into the ground. If I hadn't sensed it, I might have really run away."

"What a pity. Why do we have to be enemies?"

Su Chen flapped his wings and returned to the temple. The devouring touch in his body extended and immediately touched the bodies of the two people. After a while, he sucked the two people to only dry skin.

However, Su Chen found a leather bag on one of them, which was a storage equipment.

When he opened it, it was full of garbage.

There were dry food, water bags, equipment for making fire, and some low-level ores.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Su Chen's eyes flashed and he saw a map in it.

"The map of the desert tribe?"

He took out the map and opened it. It was indeed the case.

Compared with the map obtained from the elder, the map of the desert tribe was obviously better and more complete.

Although it was only a small part and did not depict the whole picture of the desert, it included the area where Su Chen was, which was of great help to Su Chen.

On the map, Su Chen saw some places.

"The base camp of the desert tribe... it is indeed a tribe in the desert."

"Gukar Market?"

"Huh? There is also a poison master tribe?"

Su Chen's eyes flashed, and he looked at a location on the map. There was a tribal mark drawn on it, and then the poison master tribe was written, which surprised Su Chen.

"I didn't expect that the poison master tribe was also a foreign tribe in the desert."

But think about it, after all, the poison master tribe originally went to the Beetle Kingdom through the teleportation array in the desert.

"If I have time, I can go and see it."

Su Chen murmured.

Not to mention cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but since the poison master tribe is a tribe, there should be a treasure house, and maybe I can find something useful from it.

Anyway, I killed the patriarch of the poison master tribe, so I have a grudge against them.

Through this map, Su Chen understood how vast the desert is. Even the tribes living in the desert have never known the full picture of the desert!

"In addition to the Desert and Poison Master tribes, there are some other tribes. We can go and see them when the time comes."

Su Chen murmured, walked into the temple, sat beside the bonfire that the Desert Clan had lit before, and fell into deep thought.

"These tribes should not be considered civilizations."

"They can only be considered small tribes."

"Real civilizations probably live in small worlds."

"But even so, these small tribes cannot be underestimated."

Su Chen thought of the Poison Master he had seen before. He was able to crush him because of the help brought by Lianfeng. If there was no Lianfeng, at least when fighting against the Poison Fang, he would probably only be barely victorious.

Fortunately, he did not have the idea of ​​entangled with the Desert Clan to the end. Although he came to the desert, it was more to explore treasures, to strengthen himself, evolve, and become stronger.

Although he killed three people from the Desert Clan, the other party did not know, and there should be no disputes next.

Thinking of this, Su Chen shook his head, put away the map, got up and went to the ancient well to look inside.

There is clear underground water inside.

A glimmer of joy flashed across Su Chen's eyes. With a thought, he controlled the strong wind to roll up the underground water and drank a mouthful of it, revealing a comfortable expression.

Then he put some more in his backpack and left here, ready to continue heading in the direction of the forager's sense.

He had a strong intuition about this.

As expected, it will be there soon.

After leaving the temple, Su Chen continued to set off.

After continuing to move forward, not long after, a hilly area appeared in Su Chen's field of vision.

Su Chen took out the map in his backpack and looked at it. There was a mark on it belonging to this area.

"Where is the rock giant located?"

Seeing this prompt, Su Chen looked surprised.

"Giant

"?"

He had never seen it before, so he didn't know how strong it was.

Thinking of this, Su Chen put away the map, flapped his wings behind him, flew up directly, landed on a hill, and looked around.

"It's here."

Su Chen took a deep breath and activated his talent.

He sensed the location of the treasure, which was located in a hill not far away.

"But..."

Where is the rock giant?

Su Chen looked around and didn't find the existence of the rock giant.

"Is it hidden?"

With such a thought in his mind, Su Chen immediately had a strong wind coming out of his body, exploring the surroundings, and activating his talent to sense it together.

But the next moment, his face froze, and the wings behind him flapped violently, taking him into the sky.

"Fuck."

Looking down again, after confirming that nothing happened, Su Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a lingering fear.

"I was wondering why I didn't find it, these hills are actually rock giants! "

It would have been fine if he hadn't investigated, but he was almost scared when he investigated.

Looking around, the hundreds of hills in front of him, although not all of them were rock giants, half of them were.

There were so many of them!

"It's troublesome."

Su Chen murmured, looking at a hill.

That was the hill with the location of the treasure he sensed, but at the same time, it was also a sleeping rock giant.

If you want to get the treasure, you must alarm this rock giant, and if one rock giant wakes up, there is no guarantee that other rock giants will also wake up.

At that time, there will probably be a big battle.

He didn't know how strong these rock giants were, because they were all sleeping, their breath was restrained, and they couldn't be sensed at all.

But it can make him feel palpitations, so it can be imagined that they are very extraordinary.

But the treasure is right in front of him, how can he miss it?

Thinking of this, Su Chen pursed his lips, and a hint of determination flashed across his face.

"In that case, let's have a fight! "

Su Chen's aura burst out, and his eyes became sharp in an instant. He aimed at the hill where the treasure was hidden, and directly burst out a terrifying slash.

With a bang, a huge hole was immediately split on the hill, and yellow sand flowed out like blood.

Then, the ground trembled slightly, a painful roar sounded, and the hill moved, slowly turning into a giant crawling up from the ground.

With the awakening of this giant, the rest of the hills also began to shake, and one giant after another woke up from their slumber.

At the same time.

In the distance.

Two mantises with skin as yellow sand were moving forward in the desert, looking for food.

Suddenly, they felt the vibration of the ground.

One of the mantises turned his head sharply to look in one direction, and hesitated to the tribesmen beside him. "Feng, I seem to... feel the breath of the king. "
