Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The sky was full of smoke, and the sky was full of dust.

Su Chen walked into the library.

The library was full of bookshelves with books, and many parts of the building were covered with cracks and broken roofs.

There was dust everywhere.

In some places, there were ancient debris, which seemed to be the people of this empire.

Their clothes and so on, all turned into dust over time.

Su Chen looked around, and the strong wind blew out, sweeping across the entire library, and no danger was found.

"If there is no danger, then you can search with confidence."

"But there are still so many books in this library?"

Su Chen looked at the bookshelves around him. Some bookshelves still had densely packed books, and no one took them away, which surprised Su Chen.

But he soon understood the original place.

Although these books seemed to be well preserved, they immediately turned into dust and dissipated the moment he gently touched them.

"No wonder."

Su Chen suddenly realized, with disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Although these books appeared to be intact, they had actually been eroded by time. Once touched, they would immediately turn into dust and dissipate.

The treasure hunters who came here should know this, so they had no interest in these books.

"What a pity."

Su Chen murmured.

It's a pity that these books cannot be checked and taken away.

An ancient empire may be extremely powerful. It is conceivable how precious the books collected in the library of such an empire would be.

Not to mention the knowledge contained in it, even some understanding of the world of Shanhaijing is priceless at present.

If he could get it, he might completely understand the world of Shanhaijing, and even the rift, era, etc. What is the situation.

"Forget it, let's find the treasure first."

Su Chen sighed and began to search in the library.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the forager was activated.

The location of the treasure was immediately confirmed.

"Hmm?"

After confirmation, Su Chen looked at the innermost bookshelf in the library with surprise in his eyes.

If the sense was correct, this treasure was actually on the bookshelf. Could it be a book?

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

If it was really a book, and it could be sensed, doesn't it mean that there might be well-preserved books in the library?

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Su Chen immediately walked towards the sensed location.

Not long after, he came to the innermost part of the library, where there were three rows of bookshelves against the wall, all of which were densely packed with books.

Su Chen came to the bookshelf in the middle, looked at the bookshelf carefully, raised the mantis knife and touched it lightly, and the books turned into dust and dissipated in the air.

Soon, all the books on the entire bookshelf disappeared.

But one book remained.

Su Chen's eyes flashed, and he immediately raised his hand to touch it, and the next moment he made a surprised sound.

"Hey, this book..."

This touch.

No, it's not a book.

It's a stone with the appearance of a book.

"Mechanism?"

After Su Chen thought about it, he instantly got the answer. He pushed hard, and the book was immediately pushed in.

A slight rumble sounded, and the bookshelf in front of him split from the middle to the left and right, and a secret compartment appeared in front of him.

There was a treasure box in the secret compartment, which made Su Chen confirm that this was the "treasure" he was looking for.

After putting it into the backpack, Su Chen opened it directly.

In the treasure box, there was a map that looked like it was made of some unknown animal skin.

"Map of the Desert Empire?"

Su Chen subconsciously had a guess in his heart, and his expression was excited. If this was true, although this map was not a material treasure or something, it could enhance his strength.

But it was definitely better than the so-called material and treasure!

After all, the Desert Empire was once an ancient and powerful empire, standing on the desert, and the map it drew was definitely more comprehensive than what he knew now.

Even though the desert has expanded a lot after the change of eras, it can still give him a more intuitive understanding of the situation in the desert.

Maybe he can also learn about the ruins of several other cities in the Desert Empire from the map.

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately clicked on the map to look at it.

Soon a disappointed expression appeared on his face.

"Not a map of the Desert Empire, but a small map?"

That's it?

Su Chen curled his lips, a little speechless.

Just a small map

If it is a small map, then the value will be reduced too much.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen patiently read it.

Because it is a small map, judging from the location of the city marked on the map, this map mainly draws a detailed map of an area with the city ruins as the center.

On the map, some places worth noting are marked around.

For example, some quicksand places need to be avoided carefully.

Some temple places with ancient wells dug.

Some oasis places, etc.

Su Chen's eyes swept over the various marked places on the map, and soon he looked at a building sign in the east of the city ruins.

The map is marked with "Temple of the Sun" and a pattern of a well.

But when Su Chen saw another note next to the well, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked unbelievable.

"How is this possible?"

Next to the note of the well, there is another note with only two words.

[Break the World! ]

Su Chen looked shocked.

This map actually has a location of a rift marked on it!

Fake!

This thought suddenly popped up in Su Chen's mind. After all, the location of the rift should not be fixed. If it was fixed, the civilizations and forces that have been passed down from the last era to the present era would have known the location of the rift long ago.

Just like the insect nest, Su Chen believed that with the ability of the insect nest, it must have been passed down for more than one era.

Then in the past era, with the strength of the insect nest, it must have found the location of the rift.

If the location of the rift is fixed, why would the insect nest let these insect kings find the location of the rift?

But soon, Su Chen denied this idea again.

"It's not necessarily fake."

"This map is the treasure I sensed, a treasure that is useful to me."

"Although there are many places marked on the map, it seems that the only note that is useful to me is this rift."

"So the reason why I sensed the existence of this map is probably because the map marks the location of a rift in the desert."

"Therefore, this rift is likely to be real."

"But why is there a real rift marked on the map of the Desert Empire?"

The Desert Empire must have existed very long ago.

He didn't know how old it was, but it was probably an empire that existed in the last era, or even the last era.

This was a very powerful empire, but it eventually collapsed.

From this, it can be seen that this empire is very strong, but it is limited. Could such an empire have the ability to lock the location of the rift in advance, so that it can mark the location of the rift on this map?

Su Chen's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

After a long time, he still couldn't understand it.

After all, he didn't know much about the Desert Empire. Maybe the Desert Empire did have such ability?

Or, was it related to the gods that the Desert Empire once believed in?

"Anyway, I have to go and see this place."

Su Chen murmured in his heart.

If the Rift Realm really exists...

He couldn't help but feel a touch of heat in his heart!

This is the Rift Realm!

After learning about the situation of the Rift Realm, he yearned for it very much!

Without any hesitation, Su Chen closed his backpack, turned around and walked out of the library, and ran out of the ruins.

He didn't even care about the location of the third treasure.

The Rift Realm is right in front of him, what kind of garbage is the treasure?

Running all the way, Su Chen opened his backpack, checked the map from time to time, and confirmed the location of the Rift Realm.

"Although the desert map will expand with the change of eras, the direction will never change."

"So as long as you head east of this relic, you will definitely find the location of this temple."

"And the rift is under the ancient well of this temple!"

From this ancient map, the temple is not far from the city ruins.

But with the change of eras, everything is hard to say now.

Closing the backpack, Su Chen sped up.

Soon he came out from underground and headed directly to the east.

But after walking for a while, Su Chen suddenly stopped and looked back. The hot wind rolled up the sand and it seemed like there was nothing.

But the wind had already told Su Chen that three mice were hiding under the sand and following him.

"Are you still not coming out?"

Su Chen said lightly.

After the words fell, there was no response, only the sound of the wind blowing.

Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but sneer. "I was planning to let you guys go for a while to see what you really want to do and what your purpose is."

"But now, I don't have time to play with you anymore."

"Since you don't want to

Come out, then bury it under this desert. "

The moment the voice fell, Su Chen's eyes flashed coldly, and he swung his two swords without hesitation, bursting out two terrifying slashes, sweeping forward as if splitting the earth.

At the same time, under the desert, three figures seemed to feel the gaze of the god of death, and their faces suddenly changed. Just as they were about to move, two shrill screams suddenly sounded.

But it stopped abruptly in the next second.

Only one figure rushed out from under the sand, his face full of horror.

"Tama!"

"Taku!"

He yelled at his feet, but got no response. Only when he saw the blood oozing out from the ground, his face became paler.

"Are you willing to come out?"

Su Chen's voice came, and Tarn couldn't help but look up at the mantis in front of him, with a look of horror in the depths of his pupils. "You, you have discovered us a long time ago?"

"Otherwise? "

Su Chen chuckled in response, and the light on the mantis knife flashed, making his voice gradually cold. "I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you now."

"Tell me why you followed me, don't say you want to kill people and steal treasures, I don't believe it."

"Following me in the ruins is fine, but you still follow me after leaving the ruins, and even follow me all the way after seeing my strength. I can only say that you have other purposes."

Su Chen's eyes were cold and his tone was indifferent. "Tell me the reason, you will die."

"Don't tell me, not only will you die, but you will die miserably! "

As he spoke, a murderous intent suddenly erupted from Su Chen's body, sweeping out and instantly enveloping Tarn.

Instantly, Tarn seemed to see a bloody ancient battlefield, with corpses and debris everywhere, making him sweat and look terrified.

He opened his mouth, as if he was about to speak.

But at this moment, a ripple appeared in the space.

The fire of hope suddenly ignited in Tarn's desperate heart, and the fear dissipated, and he laughed excitedly instead. "Here it comes, finally here."

"Hahaha, damn alien, you killed my brother, but it doesn't matter, you will pay the price soon!"

"The priest has arrived!"

He looked at the air in front of him excitedly, and with a tearing sound, the space was actually torn open.

A pair of purple pupils emitting dim light slowly opened in it.
