Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

Chapter 24

The enemy on the tenth floor is a spider, covered in black fur, except for its white feet. The six scarlet pupils on the front flashed a bloodthirsty light, which made people shudder. This is undoubtedly a small spider, because its body is not very big, only about 40 centimeters. Although it is still twice as big as Su Chen, it does not make Su Chen feel scared, but full of excitement. After all, even if such an enemy is defeated, it can also hone his fighting skills. Huh~ The moment the black-haired spider appeared, it opened its mouth and spit out white spider silk like an arrow towards Su Chen. Su Chen dodged and turned away, and saw the spider silk turned into a large web and fell to the ground. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been captured directly.

Seeing that his attack had failed, the black-haired spider could not help but let out a sharp whistle, and without hesitation, it moved its six legs and quickly rushed towards Su Chen.

The spider was very fast, and it came in front of Su Chen almost in a trance, raising one of its forelimbs like a sharp spear to pierce Su Chen.

A breeze blew by.

Su Chen instantly entered the state of riding the wind, staring at the spider's attack with a tense body, as if the opponent's movements became slow in his vision, and he turned away again.

At the moment of dodging, he swung his two swords, and the sharp blade light flashed like thunder. With a click, the slender foot covered with white fluff was immediately cut off.

Yellow liquid sprayed out.

The spider made a painful sound, and its body immediately staggered and shook.

Su Chen looked indifferent. He seized the opportunity and launched an attack without hesitation. He rushed to the right side of the spider and swung his knife again. With a puffing sound, two more legs of the spider were cut off.

The spider, which was twice as big as Su Chen, fell to the ground with a bang.

The spider kept struggling, but it was difficult to get up after losing half of its legs. It could only make a painful sound and spit out spider silk at Su Chen, trying to tie him up in this way.

However, in the state of Liufeng, Su Chen's reaction was much faster. He easily dodged it, and went around to the other side to swing the mantis knife, cutting off the other three legs of the spider without any hindrance.

"Tsk, although it is stronger than an ant, it is still too weak."

Looking at the spider in front of him, which was like a fish on a chopping board, Su Chen sighed, and then decisively swung his knife and directly ended the spider's life.

The light rose up bit by bit, and the spider's body dissipated.

The reward of the tenth floor appeared in front of Su Chen.

In addition to the ten spirit coins, Su Chen was surprised that there was another option.

[Materials. ]

[Treasures. ]

[Spirit coins. ]

"Is this... an extra reward from the Spirit Tower?"

Su Chen said with a surprised look.

I had heard that the Spirit Tower would have other rewards besides spirit coins, but I didn't expect that there would be one on the tenth floor.

And you can choose whatever you want.

Su Chen showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then he pondered.

Spirit coins are definitely not needed.

Although the value of spirit coins in the Spirit Tribe is not low, for Su Chen, the most important thing is materials and treasures.

Therefore, he will only choose between these two.

As for materials and treasures, generally speaking, treasures must be chosen, after all, treasures are more precious than materials.

But since the options are provided here, it means that the value of the two must be equal, which makes Su Chen hesitate.

"Treasures may be able to immediately improve my strength in reality."

"But materials can make my avatar stronger."

"Tsk, what a confusing question."

Su Chen wanted both.

But unfortunately there was no "all" option, so after some distressed thinking, Su Chen gritted his teeth and chose the materials.

It's not that the treasures are not good, but since materials and treasures can be obtained in the Spirit Tower, then choose the materials first to see how they are. If they are good, it's not too late to choose treasures later.

After all, the number of floors later is higher, and the value of the treasures obtained will be higher than this time!

As Su Chen finished his choice.

The fluorescent light flashed in front of him, and then a blue stone with a pattern like leaf veins appeared in front of him.

Su Chen quickly took it.

[You have obtained the material: Thunder Stone! ]

[Thunder Stone: Material, a stone that originally contains spiritual energy, a rare material that mutates after being struck by special thunder, containing a trace of thunder power! 】

"A stone containing the power of thunder?"

Su Chen looked at the introduction and couldn't help but sigh. "What a good thing."

As a web writer, he subconsciously felt that materials related to thunder were not simple, and even among ordinary materials, they should be top-notch.

I just don't know if they are suitable as my own strengthening materials.

"I don't know if it can be strengthened."

Su Chen murmured, and clicked on the panel to check.

Click on the head and choose to strengthen.

A prompt for whether to invest in materials appeared.

A flash of joy flashed across Su Chen's face. "Is it possible?"

Doesn't this mean that in the Spirit Tower, I can completely strengthen myself through the materials I have obtained, make myself stronger, and then challenge higher levels?

You know, he originally estimated that he could challenge the 20th floor at most, but now if he can strengthen, he is fully confident that he can challenge the 30th floor.

Su Chen was excited and checked the adaptability between the thunder-struck stone and several of his unreinforced parts without hesitation.

Head, adaptability: 27%!

Chest, adaptability: 52%!

Internal organs, adaptability: 91%!

"Hiss, the adaptability of the internal organs is so high!"

Su Chen took a deep breath, and his face could no longer stop showing excitement.

The last time I saw such a high adaptability was the Wind Leaf.

With such a high adaptability, there is no doubt that this means that he can get another ability.

Without hesitation, Su Chen decisively chose to strengthen the internal organs, and put the thunder stone as a material, and then clicked to strengthen.

After all, if he doesn't strengthen it now, when will he?

A little evolution point consumption.

A milky white light emerged and enveloped Su Chen.

The next second, a tingling sensation appeared out of thin air in his body. Su Chen clenched his teeth and almost screamed.

Fortunately, this feeling only appeared for a moment, and then quickly dissipated, replaced by a sour and numb feeling that swept the whole body.

Like an electric shock.

In this strange feeling, the power was rapidly soaring.

Soon, the light faded.

The incarnation, which had changed from the previous one, reappeared.

The nearly 30-centimeter figure looked more ferocious than before.

The dark and shiny shell now had a series of blue lines, making it look more mysterious and handsome than before.

Su Chen opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Before he could feel the changes in himself, he found the display box that popped up in front of him.
