Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The three desert creatures were watching him secretly.

"Is there something?"

Su Chen said calmly.

When he came to this area, he noticed the gazes. As expected, it was the three desert tribal creatures who were secretly watching him.

But he didn't expect them to come out on their own initiative.

Facing Su Chen's sharp gaze, the three desert creatures remained calm, and the stronger young man in the middle smiled. "Nice to meet you, powerful mantis."

"Please don't misunderstand, we have no ill intentions."

The young man said. "It's just that I accidentally discovered your existence and saw your powerful strength, so I want to talk to you about something."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Su Chen didn't comment, but just asked calmly. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The young man asked with a smile. "Mr. Mantis, this should be his first time here, right?"

"How did you tell?" Su Chen frowned.

"Haha, because the three of us brothers are frequent visitors here." The young man introduced himself. "I am from the desert tribe, named Tarn, and these two are my younger brothers, Tama and Taku."

Tarn said. "Because I have been exploring here, I have some understanding of the creatures that often come here, and Mr. Mantis, you are very unfamiliar, so I have such a guess."

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully and admitted. "Yes, it is indeed my first time here, is there any problem?"

"Of course there is no problem, but Mr. Mantis must come here to look for treasure, right?"

Su Chen nodded.

Tarn smiled slightly. "It's a pity. If you had come earlier, you might have gained a lot with your strength, but now, most of the treasures have been found and taken away. Although there are still some treasures in this ruins that have not been discovered, it will take a lot of time to find them."

"And..."

Su Chen's eyes flashed with impatience, and he interrupted directly. "Stop talking nonsense, tell me your purpose."

Taen's face froze, and soon recovered, saying. "Hehe, since you want to know, I will naturally not hide it."

"In fact, we came here to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes."

Taen's face showed a touch of excitement, and said. "In a place in this ruins, we found a precious treasure. Even among all the treasures found in this ruins, the preciousness of that treasure can definitely rank in the top ten."

"Such a precious treasure, since you have found it, just take it away by yourself, why come to me?" Su Chen sneered.

Taen didn't care. "It's very simple. We found the treasure, but there is a powerful desert puppet guarding it."

"With our strength, we may not be the opponent, so we need the help of the strong."

"And you are a strong man in our eyes."

Taen's tone was very sincere.

"Mr. Mantis, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will share the treasure according to its value after we get it. How about it?"

Su Chen's eyes flickered, and he guessed in his heart that the treasure that Tarn mentioned might be one of the three treasures he sensed.

However, he did not hesitate to Tarn's invitation for cooperation. "Sorry, I'm not interested at all. You should go find someone else."

If he can do it alone, why bother to find others to cooperate.

And the three people in front of him seemed to him to have some bad intentions.

Hearing this, Tarn's two younger brothers frowned immediately, and when they opened their mouths to say something, they were suppressed by Tarn.

He smiled at Su Chen and said. "Well, if Mr. Mantis doesn't need it, forget it. We'll meet again if we're lucky."

After saying that, he took his two younger brothers away.

Watching the three people disappear from his sight, Su Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

"Desert tribe..."

"I want to see what you want to do."

The thought came to him, and the gale raged, turning into an invisible wind that blew directly in all directions.

Su Chen didn't waste time, and turned around and walked towards the temple behind him.

In the distance, the three people of Tarn, who had disappeared from Su Chen's sight, came to a building. After confirming that there were no monsters around, the three brothers discussed directly.

Tama: "Brother, that mantis is not fooled at all. What should we do now?"

Taku: "Do we have to do it ourselves?"

Tarn shook his head. "Impossible, the strength of that desert puppet is very strong.

Very strong, at least with strength above the fierce king. Once we take action, we will definitely die there, without even a chance to escape. "

"Don't forget, the Desert Puppet is a magic puppet once developed by the Desert Empire, and the existence of this magic puppet was originally invented to allow it to exist as a better combat unit in the desert, so many of its abilities restrain us."

Taku said irritably. "But what else can we do if we don't take action? We have been delayed here for a long time. If we delay any longer, not to mention whether we can get that thing, the key is that the tribe will also fall behind in many things."

"Yes, I heard from the elders that the new era is coming, the rift will be opened again, and the tribe has decided to surrender to the priest. At that time, as long as the priest finds the passage to the rift, he will send a large army into the rift."

Tama said in a deep voice. "The good things in the rift, I believe you have also seen them in ancient books, if we miss them..."

"Of course I know what you said. "

Taen shook his head, his face was not panicked at all, but he raised an excited smile and said. "But I have a way."

"Although that mantis rejected us, I found a trace of extraordinary breath on him."

Tama and Taku showed puzzled looks on their faces.

Tama asked. "Extraordinary breath? Brother, is that guy not a mantis, and just used some ability to change his appearance?"

"That's not the case."

"It's just..."

Taen chuckled. "I felt the breath of an alien on it."

"The breath of an alien?"

The two were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes burst into ecstasy.

"Brother, are you sure? Is it really the breath of an alien?"

"Hiss, if this is really the breath of an alien, wouldn't we be rich? The tribe is frantically looking for aliens. As long as there is any trace of aliens, as long as they report it, they will be rewarded. If we report this news, won't we get a generous reward from the elders immediately? "

"That's right." Tarn nodded, then shook his head. "But... I don't want to report the news to the tribe."

"What?"

Taku frowned. "Brother, where else can we report it to if not the tribe? The aliens are only needed by the tribe."

"Who said that?"

Taku grinned. "Why do you think the tribe captures aliens?"

"They want the aliens to help find the location of the rift. Compared to us, aliens are much easier to find the location of the rift than us."

"But it's not just our tribe that wants the rift."

Tama and Taku swallowed their saliva. At this point, they already understood their eldest brother's thoughts.

Tama said in disbelief. "Brother, do you, do you want to report the news to the priests?"

"That's right. "Tain nodded.

"But in this way...isn't it a betrayal of the tribe?" Taku hesitated.

Tain sneered. "Betrayal? Not really. As long as we can pass this news to the priests, we will definitely be appreciated and rewarded. Don't forget that the tribe itself will submit to the priests. At that time, we can rely on the appreciation of the priests to obtain a high position in the tribe."

"With a high position, when we go to the Rift, are we still afraid that we won't get the good things in the Rift?"

"In this world, strength is the foundation."

"As long as we become stronger, we can even create new tribes, and even establish our own civilization in this era!"

"Don't you want to?"

Tain's words made the two younger brothers' eyes glow with passion.

They no longer hesitated and nodded with gritted teeth.

"Brother, you are right. As long as you have strength, nothing is a problem."

"Brother, tell me, what should we do next? "

Facing the fiery gazes of his two younger brothers, Tarn smiled faintly. "Don't worry, let's contact the priests first."

"They are not close to here. When they arrive, maybe we can use them to help us get the treasure..."

......

"Sure enough, there is a conspiracy."

In the temple, Su Chen looked at the information brought by the wind in his mind, his eyes flickered. The wind brought information, but he couldn't hear the sound.

But he didn't worry too much. The strength of the three desert tribal creatures was too weak to pose any threat to him.

In comparison, the treasures in the temple in front of him are more worthy of his attention.

Thinking of this, Su Chen looked at the temple in front of him.

The temple is not big. After entering the interior, there is only a statue, an altar, and a wall full of patterns.

, there is nothing else besides this.

Su Chen glanced at the patterns on the wall, thinking. There are suns in many places on these patterns. Not surprisingly, this extinct civilization once believed in something related to the sun.

And the statue...

To be honest, Su Chen couldn't tell. This should be a statue of a god, but it has no face, or perhaps no carved face, only a body, and a disk like the sun behind the body.

"Could it be the ancient sun god?"

Su Chen thought secretly.

Looking around, he was puzzled by the fact that he didn't find the treasure.

The temple is so big, but the treasure is not seen.

Where is it hidden?

And where is the enemy?

According to his previous perception, there should be a powerful creature here, but it is also missing at this moment.

With a frown on his face, Su Chen thought and activated his talent.

The next moment, Su Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the statue in front of him solemnly.

“Are…all of them in here?”
