Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The dust on the ground was blown away by the wind, and a round stone plate came into view.

The stone plate was full of mysterious grooves, with a bit of ancient atmosphere.

Su Chen looked carefully. "What is this? Formation?"

It looks a bit similar, but Su Chen is sure that the opportunity he is looking for is under the stone plate.

After thinking about it, Su Chen raised his hand and chopped it down. The wind blade immediately formed an attack on the stone plate. With a clang, there was not even a trace left on the stone plate.

"What a hard stone plate."

Su Chen looked surprised.

Even the wind blade could not leave a trace. There is no doubt that it is impossible to break it by force.

Su Chen turned his head to look at the little guy and asked. "Little one, do you recognize this thing?"

"My goodness."

Little one ran over, looked at the formation curiously, and then said. "Boss, this should require something to open it, right?"

Su Chen was surprised. "Huh? Do you recognize it?"

Little one shook his head. "No."

"Then how can you be so sure?"

"It's very simple." Little one pointed to the grooves on the stone plate and said. "Boss, look, these grooves look like a starting device, and the piece in the middle of the stone plate has a bulge, which seems to be able to rise, so it is obvious that something needs to be put into the groove as a key to make the stone plate rise."

Hearing this, Su Chen lowered his head and looked, and it was really as Little One said, there was a bulge in the middle of the stone plate.

After trying it with his own strength and finding that it didn't move at all, Su Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Key... Tsk, it's a bit troublesome, where can I find it?"

The stone plate does not need a normal key, but a key that can be integrated into the groove. However, Su Chen has no idea about this key, so he doesn't know where to find it for a while.

"Huh? Wait."

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Su Chen's mind, and he suddenly opened his backpack and looked at the winged blood essence he had obtained earlier.

Clicking it, the introduction of the winged blood essence appeared.

[Winged blood essence: The blood essence in the body of the winged insect contains a trace of the power of the winged insect. It is useful for the winged insect, but more often, it is a key to open the inheritance. 】

"So that's it, this is the key."

Su Chen looked suddenly enlightened, shook his head and laughed.

He also understood why the forager had a sense when he wanted to agree to the insect's request before.

This is the reason!

Originally, I thought that the opportunity sensed when I agreed to the pale insect's request would be other opportunities, but I didn't expect it to refer to the key to open this stone plate.

Shaking his head, Su Chen took out the blood essence and dripped it into the grooves on the stone plate.

I saw the stone plate immediately radiate brilliance.

And the blood essence flowed in the grooves, and soon all the grooves went around, so the light on the stone plate became more and more dazzling.

The next moment, a rumbling sound was heard.

The raised part of the stone plate suddenly rose from the ground, revealing the hollow part below, where a stone box was quietly placed.

"Is it in the stone box?"

Su Chen sensed the forager, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took the stone box with great effort and opened it.

A pair of transparent wings as thin as cicada wings immediately came into view.

"What is this?"

Su Chen's pupils contracted and he picked up the wings.

[You have obtained a treasure: Winged Insect Wings. ]

[Winged Insect Wings: Treasure, the wings that fall off after the death of a powerful winged insect will be collected by the Wing Clan and passed on to the next generation of winged insects to strengthen their wings and make them faster. It also works for some insects with wings. 】

"It's actually the wings of a winged insect."

Su Chen was surprised and looked at it carefully. He had to say that the wings were really brilliant, like touching jade, and they were extremely light and thin. He couldn't feel the weight at all when holding them in his hands.

"Good stuff."

Su Chen was very satisfied with this opportunity. As expected, this was a treasure that could strengthen the wings. For Su Chen, strengthening the wings meant increasing speed.

As long as the speed was fast enough, his combat power would also increase.

Without hesitation, Su Chen chose to use it immediately.

The wings immediately turned into a ray of light and poured into Su Chen's body, and quickly wrapped around Su Chen's back.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

The little guy was surprised.

Su Chen waved his hand without explanation, but felt the changes in his body.

On his back, he could clearly feel that something seemed to be growing

.

Tear~

Su Chen's face suddenly changed as a sharp pain suddenly emerged, and he almost screamed. But he quickly realized that he was in the ruins, and the sound would attract pale insects, so he gritted his teeth and endured it, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Fortunately, the pain lasted only a few minutes and then faded away until it disappeared completely.

"Huh."

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and subconsciously felt his own changes.

The next moment, Su Chen seemed to feel something extraordinary, and suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Boss, you, you are..." As a bystander, Xiaobudian discovered Su Chen's changes most directly, and was also extremely shocked.

"Sure enough, it's not an illusion?"

Seeing Xiaobudian's abnormality, Su Chen came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and looked back at his back with shock.

A pair of thin wings that had not been there before actually grew out, and slowly flapped with his thoughts.

That's right, he actually has wings! !

Well, it's not strange that mantises have wings, but before, they only had a pair of hind wings, but now this pair of wings are front wings!

Su Chen felt a little subtle.

After a careful feeling, he confirmed that he did have wings. Perhaps because of the wings of the Winged Clan, the structure of his back had completely changed.

Originally, there was only a pair of hind wings, so he couldn't fly, and could only stay in the air for a short time.

But now, new wings have grown on his back, and the hind wings are connected to it, forming a pair of wings like a dragonfly!

"Boss, you actually grew wings! So amazing!"

Little Bit also came back from the shock, with admiration on his face.

Su Chen smiled and said. "Amazing, right? Do you want to learn?"

Little Bit nodded hurriedly. "Can I?"

"Of course not."

Su Chen rolled his eyes and refused mercilessly. You are kidding, you don't even have wings. Even if you have wings of the Winged Tribe, you can't use them.

Under the lost look of the little one, Su Chen thought about it, and the wings behind him flapped like an arm.

The next second, Su Chen took off on the spot!

"Wuhu, it really flew up, hahaha."

The wind was flowing in front of him.

Su Chen flew into the air, flying freely, and couldn't help being excited.

In this extraordinary game, Su Chen experienced the feeling of free flight. It was not ordinary refreshing. It made him feel like he was back in his childhood when he bought fun toys and had a lot of fun.

After a long time, he landed under the envious eyes of the little one, and put his wings under the carapace as he thought.

"Boss, is it fun to fly in the sky?" The little one asked eagerly.

Su Chen smiled and nodded. "Not bad."

The only pity is that only the avatar has wings, not the human in reality, so if nothing unexpected happens, the function of flying can only be experienced in the game.

It may not work in reality.

But Su Chen is also satisfied with this.

Being able to fly in the game not only enhances his combat ability, but also makes his exploration more convenient.

In addition, Su Chen glanced at his attributes and his mouth slightly raised.

In addition to having wings, his attributes have also been improved, not much, only the speed has increased by 0.2, but it is also a pleasant surprise.

"With wings, it will be easier to face those pale bugs next."

Su Chen murmured.

Being able to fly into the sky, even if there is a weird roar, I am not afraid at all. Before, I could keep a distance, but now I can fly directly into the sky, and I guess I can't even hear the sound, so I don't have to worry about losing consciousness because of the sound.

Moreover, it may be easier to pass the level at the Spirit Tower.

Thinking of the many wonderful things brought by wings, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

But soon, he came back to his senses.

"It's almost noon, it's time to leave."

In a flash, time has passed for a long time, and it's almost noon.

Considering that he still has things to do in reality, Su Chen is ready to log off.

But looking at the little one in front of him, he is a little worried. After all, he is worried about leaving the little one here alone.

After thinking for a while, Su Chen asked. "Little one, do you want to go to the Spirit Tribe?"

"Spirit Tribe?"

Little one nodded and answered. "Of course I do, but I don't have money, and I don't have a place to live if I go there."

"Then have you ever thought about making money before?"

"Yes, I want to come here to explore and see if I can get a piece of white crystal, and then I can take it to the Spirit Tribe to sell for money, but..."

Little one

He lowered his head in embarrassment.

The result was obvious, he almost became the food of the scarlet shell.

Su Chen said in surprise. "Can white crystals be exchanged for spirit coins in the spirit tribe?"

"Yeah, yes, boss."

Although Little Bit didn't have much strength, he knew a lot of information as he said, and explained to Su Chen. "Many insects in the spirit tribe want to become powerful, but they don't dare to explore and fight, so they will use spirit coins to buy some treasures. White crystals are such good things. One white crystal can be exchanged for thirty or forty spirit coins."

"In addition to some insects, the spirit tribe will also purchase them."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Su Chen suddenly realized, a ray of light flashed in his eyes, and he had some ideas in his mind, and said immediately. "Well, Little Bit, I will be away for a while next, so I will take you to the spirit tribe later."

"When the time comes, I will give you some spirit coins so that you can spend them in the spirit tribe."

Little Bit opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, Su Chen raised his hand to interrupt. "You don't have to misunderstand. These spirit coins are my reward to you. After all, without your information, I might have missed a lot of good things just now, so you can accept the spirit coins with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Xiaobudian nodded and said happily. "I'm glad you can help the boss."

"Hehe, you can help me a lot."

Su Chen also smiled. He had some ideas in his mind. I'm afraid he would have to ask Xiaobudian for help in the future.

But it's also later.

With the decision, Su Chen no longer wasted time. After catching Xiaobudian, he took off directly and flew towards the direction of the spirit tribe.

......

Soon after Su Chen took Xiaobudian away.

In the ruins.

Two beetles with blood-red shells came here, sniffing the remaining breath in the air, and one of them said coldly. "Other insects killed our people."

Hearing this, the other insect frowned. "Not much information has been revealed here. Those who can explore here are weak bugs. They deserve to die here."

"I just don't know if our plan will be exposed."

"It shouldn't be. After all, those guys in the Spirit Tribe have been safe for too long. They have no sense of crisis. They didn't even notice the guys in the insect nest who had been lurking in there for so long. How could they notice this place?"

"Besides, there is another black tide invading the border. Those old guys are probably paying attention to that place."

"That's right."

The slightly larger scarlet beetle nodded and said in a deep voice. "In that case, let's go. It's almost time to irrigate the blood of the gods... As for the tribe member who was killed, although he is a waste, he is also a member of my tribe... When the plan is launched in a few days, if you meet the person who killed him, you can help him avenge."

Another scarlet beetle nodded after hearing this.

The two huge bugs stopped talking and walked towards the center of the ruins.

If Su Chen was here, he might be surprised at where they were going.

Because that was the last place of opportunity he had yet to visit...
