Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The dead tree was covered with blood, and the dead tree was covered with blood.

Su Chen suddenly looked up and saw a black shadow crawling out from the exit at the end.

After a closer look, Su Chen couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

"Is this... pale bug?"

These black shadows are all bugs. What shocked him was that these bugs looked exactly the same as the pale bugs, but the colors were different, one white and the other black.

At the same time, Su Chen also felt some polluted breath on these black bugs, especially on the black and smooth carapace, which seemed to be painted with a ball of black mist surging.

Very weird!

Su Chen subconsciously took a step back, his whole body tense.

But the next moment, these black bugs had already discovered his presence and immediately let out a low roar.

A violent impact hit his spirit.

Su Chen only felt a roar in his ears, and after a sense of clarity came to his mind, these feelings faded away in an instant.

But Su Chen's face had become solemn. "It looks similar to the pale bug, but its ability is more terrifying than the pale bug."

There is no doubt that if it were not for a certain immunity, he would not be able to recover in a short time.

"What a weird ability."

Su Chen looked terrified, and immediately slashed with a knife, turning into a strong wind to slash.

With a tearing sound, several black bugs were directly killed, and the black blood splashed, which did not emit a fatal attraction like the juice in the pale bug's body, but was contaminated. The moment the black blood fell to the ground, it corroded the ground and gathered together, as if it had turned into a dark pool of water. Just a glance at it made me feel dizzy and as if I heard a whisper in my ears.

Shaking his head, Su Chen quickly looked away.

The black bugs roared and came over. Su Chen's face was cold, and he danced wildly with his two swords, slashing out wind blades.

With a puff.

The black bugs were torn into pieces, and the black juice splashed all over the ground. The black blood gathered in the pool was getting more and more.

There were dozens of black bugs, and more appeared from the front, gathering towards his position.

Su Chen kept swinging his mantis knife, but his physical strength was fading, and the number of these black bugs did not decrease.

"Fuck, is this the nest of these black bugs?"

Su Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart, and then he thought, and the wings behind him flapped, and a wisp of light wind was pulled to the front and condensed together. Under control, it turned into a rotating tornado, mixed with wind blades, which swept all the surrounding black bugs into it and tore them apart the moment they were swept in.

The black blood was thick, dancing with the tornado, dyeing the blue tornado black.

But soon, as Su Chen did not continue to input wind power into it, the tornado quickly dissipated naturally.

But because of the tornado, many black bugs died, and the number of black bugs decreased a lot compared to before, leaving only a few scattered ones.

"Die."

Su Chen's voice was cold, and he swung his sword directly, bursting out with a slash to kill these black bugs.

The splashing juice made Su Chen dare not fight close to him at all.

His intuition told him that this black blood was terrifying, so it was better not to touch it.

Soon, all the black bugs were killed.

The black blood gathered together and almost turned into a huge pool of water, in which rolling black fog and strange whispers kept coming out.

"Huh."

Su Chen turned his head away to prevent himself from looking over there, and then took a deep breath, taking advantage of the time when no more black bugs continued to come out to rest.

With the passive existence of "vigorous life", Su Chen's physical strength was quickly fully restored.

At this time, Su Chen turned his head to look at the black pool, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but then he still had an idea, summoned a breeze to roll up a drop of black blood in the black pool and flew in front of him, and then quickly put it into the backpack.

The prompt immediately appeared in front of him.

[You have obtained the item: diluted divine blood. ]

"Divine blood?"

Su Chen's face was shocked, staring at these two words, his face was shocked.

He knew that this black blood was an ominous thing, but he never thought it would be related to the gods.

Shocked, he quickly clicked to check.

[Diluted God's Blood: The thin God's blood obtained by diluting a drop of God's blood countless times contains the unknown will of the gods. Even after being diluted countless times, it is still full of whispers that pollute people's hearts. It comes from the gods outside the world and is resisted by living beings, but in the eyes of some living beings, it seems to have other functions. ]

"It's really God's blood..."

Su Chen's pupils contracted and he took a deep breath.

Although it was just the blood of the gods that had been diluted countless times, it was also very terrifying.

After all, this was underground, the kingdom of insects.

Insects could actually be related to gods. If this got out, other players would probably think he was joking.

And this blood looked ominous. It was estimated that the owner of this drop of blood, the unknown god, was probably not a good god, but an evil god.

But no matter what god it was, Su Chen felt a little scalp numb.

"So... whether it was the pale bug, the black bug just now, or the scarlet vine before, were they all the products of this drop of blood?"

"The vegetation growing on the pollution source... also absorbed the energy of the blood of the gods?"

"Even the demise of the Winged Insect Tribe was also due to this thing?"

Su Chen grinned, feeling that the development of this story was not right.

But the next second, he shook his head, threw the diluted divine blood in his backpack back into the black pool, and then strode towards the end of the passage.

Although he didn't know why there was divine blood here, as a player, he was now at the door of the boss room, so he just wanted to kill the boss and get the reward!

"There should be the final boss ahead, right?"

"It's suspected to be related to the evil god, damn, I want to see how awesome you are!"

The voice fell.

Su Chen had already reached the end, took a step, and walked out of the passage.

In an instant, everything was bloody.

Looking up, there was a huge underground space in front of him. Looking around, everything was dyed red with blood. The further forward, the redder the color, redder and blacker!

Looking down at his feet, the blood-colored plant meridians covered the ground.

But what shocked Su Chen the most was undoubtedly the huge rhizomes growing and spreading from the depths in front, which covered all the walls.

On the rhizome, every other area is like a bunch of grapes produced by the vines on the grape trellis, but these rhizomes do not produce grapes, but black insect eggs.

There is no doubt that these are the eggs of the black insects.

The rhizome is like an energy channel, and the red light flashes from time to time, as if transmitting some energy into the eggs, allowing these eggs to produce black insects.

But now, these eggs have not hatched.

"What a terrifying place."

Su Chen curled his lips and cursed.

If this is used as a background in a horror movie, it will definitely cause a carnival for horror movie fans.

Concentrating his mind, Su Chen continued to look forward.

The further he went, the more bloody rhizomes there were, like some huge plants extending out.

Soon, Su Chen reached the innermost place. When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, a touch of shock appeared on his face again.

In front of him, there was a huge pool of blood, in which black blood and fresh blood were intertwined and surging. In it, countless pieces of flesh and limbs were floating, and countless looming figures were wailing in pain.

In the center of the blood pool, a thick rhizome grew out of the blood pool and extended straight into the soil above his head.

All the rhizomes he had seen before were also extended from the body of the plant in front of him and grew to other places.

"Is this... the root of everything?"

Su Chen opened his mouth and looked at the plant in front of him. The scenes he had seen before flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized it.

This blood-colored plant is undoubtedly the source of everything.

The blood pool contains the blood of living beings and diluted divine blood.

The plant draws energy from it and continues to grow, spreading from the ground to passing through the soil and spreading on the ruins.

It's just that it is white on the ruins, and in front of him, it is blood-colored.

It looks completely different, but it is obviously integrated!

But Su Chen still has some unknowns.

For example, why does a plant produce insect eggs?

For example, why is there such a huge blood pool here?

After all, the blood pool in front of him obviously does not look like it was formed naturally.

Whether it is the seemingly endless blood in it, or the large amount of broken meat and debris, or even the soul, it seems to be man-made.

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but look at the blood pool, looking carefully, trying to find clues, and... the boss?

Why didn't I see the boss figure after coming in for a long time?

It can't be the plant in front of him, right?

"Huh?"

At this time, Su Chen's expression was startled, and his eyes were carefully staring at the center of the blood pool, under the blood-colored plant. Just now, he seemed to have seen a flash of blood.

"Is it an illusion?"

Su Chen whispered.

The moment the words fell.

The display box in front of him suddenly popped up.

[You have entered a mysterious place. ]

[Congratulations on discovering the entrance to a secret place. ]

"Mysterious place?"

"Secret place?"

Su Chen looked stunned.

Before he could think about it, he suddenly heard a movement in the blood pool.

He looked up and saw the blood pool surging, blood and flesh floating, and then two hideous figures rose from the blood pool and slowly opened their eyes.
