Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The wind condensed into a slash, smashing the swarming black bugs into pieces.

Black blood flowed.

Su Chen flapped his wings and hovered in the air without stopping, but continued to swing his mantis knife or condensed wind blade to sweep away.

Wherever he passed, black bugs were killed.

There were also black bugs that roared, but under the protection of will, all were exempted.

Suddenly.

Su Chen saw a black bug being killed by himself, but a blood-colored crystal fell from the broken body, which attracted his attention.

"What is that?"

With a slight change of expression, Su Chen seemed to think of something and flew over to pick up the crystal.

The display box popped up immediately.

[You have obtained the item: Flesh and Blood Crystal. ]

"Flesh and Blood Crystal?"

Su Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and he chopped with a knife, killing the black bug that rushed over, and then opened the backpack to check the effect.

[Flesh and Blood Crystal: Crystal that can only be condensed in the flesh and blood filled with blood and energy. It is the essence of blood and energy, and contains the effect of strengthening the body. ]

"Good stuff."

Looking at the introduction, Su Chen's face lit up and he used it without hesitation.

[Your blood and energy have been improved. ]

[Your strength +0.2. ]

The strength in the body has increased a little.

Su Chen felt it and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. "It is more powerful than the embers of life. I didn't expect that these black bugs not only look like pale bugs, but also have treasures similar to the embers of life in their bodies. It seems that I have to clean them up when I go out later."

He remembered the black bugs he killed at the entrance of the passage. There were quite a lot of them. I didn't expect that there would be this at the time. I might get a lot of blood and flesh crystals if I pick them up later.

Thinking of this, Su Chen looked at the black bugs in front of him, which were still numerous, and a smile of excitement appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I thought you bastards were annoying, but I didn't expect you to be useful."

Very good.

Now he is interested in these black bugs.

The moment the voice fell, Su Chen's wings behind him waved, and a large number of wind blades condensed and shot down like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.

The sound of puffing kept ringing.

One by one, the black bugs were killed.

Blood and flesh splattered!

The wind blades danced wildly!

In front of Su Chen, although there were many black bugs, he was completely invincible flying in the air.

Moreover, with his strength, these black bugs could not cause him any harm.

After killing for five minutes, all the black bugs were completely killed.

What appeared in front of Su Chen was the debris all over the ground.

The black blood flowed and gathered together, turning into a black pool.

Even Su Chen had to feel tired again, and couldn't help falling to the ground, resting and breathing heavily.

After thinking about it, he opened the backpack, found the pine cone he had gotten from Songzi's mother before, and ate it in one bite.

"Hmm?"

The sweet taste made Su Chen's eyes brighten.

Then he ate the pine cone clean in a few bites, and the fatigue in his body was consumed at once, and his physical strength was restored to full.

"Not bad, it would be better if there were more."

Su Chen's tone was regretful.

After several battles that exhausted his physical strength, Su Chen felt more and more the benefits of this century-old pine cone. If he had this thing, as long as his spirit was not tired, he could completely turn into a perpetual motion machine and fight non-stop.

Unfortunately, there is only one.

"I can go to the pine cone to ask if there are any more someday."

Su Chen thought to himself, then shook his head, looked at the black insect debris everywhere in front of him, grinned, and strode forward with an expectant smile.

The battle is over.

Then, it's time for harvest.

[You picked up blood and flesh crystal x1. ]

[You picked up blood and flesh crystal x3. ]

[You picked up blood and flesh crystal x2. ]

[You picked up blood and flesh crystal x3. ]

[You picked up blood and flesh crystal x1. 】

【......】

Compared to the life embers in the pale bugs, the probability of blood and flesh crystals dropping from these black bugs is much lower. With the number of black bugs killed by Su Chen, he only picked up 27 blood and flesh crystals in the end.

This is the number after Su Chen went to the cave entrance and visited the bodies of the black bugs he killed before.

However, Su Chen understood the principle of greed, so although he was a little disappointed at first, he swallowed all the blood and flesh crystals into his stomach with a smile after a while.

in the body.

"Huh."

A stinging sensation immediately emerged from the body.

The blood and flesh crystals melted in the mouth.

It seemed to have turned into pure blood and qi flowing in the body, sweeping through the body and strengthening the body.

The display box popped up, and prompts kept appearing in it.

[Your blood and qi have improved. ]

[Your physical strength +2. ]

[Your strength +0.8. ]

[Your spirit +0.8. ]

[Your speed +1.8. ]

The attributes skyrocketed.

Su Chen couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.

"Hahaha, refreshing."

Su Chen laughed loudly and swung a knife. The powerful force and speed made the air whistle, like a strong wind sweeping through.

After a careful feeling, Su Chen looked at the body of the scarlet beetle he killed.

"I am stronger now than before."

"If I do it again, without boiling blood, I should be able to kill the two scarlet beetles with one blow."

It's a pity that the scarlet beetles are all dead, otherwise Su Chen really wants to chop them with a blow.

Shaking his head, Su Chen took a deep breath, silently familiarized himself with the increased strength, and then looked up at the blood-colored plants in front of him.

After thinking for a while, he waved his wings behind him, and wind blades condensed and shot in all directions.

With a puff.

The rhizomes that condensed insect eggs were cut off.

But under Su Chen's gaze, these rhizomes surged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then grew out again.

"Sure enough, it has the same ability as the scarlet vines I saw before."

Su Chen was not surprised, but a thought flashed in his eyes, and then he came to the edge of the blood pool.

The blood and flesh inside were floating, and the souls were wailing, which made Su Chen frown.

"The entrance to the secret realm... is it in the blood pool?"

He had seen a flash of red light under the roots of the blood-colored plant, that is, in the blood pool.

He didn't know what it was, but it was most likely the entrance to the secret realm.

Now all the enemies here have been dealt with, with only one blood-colored plant left, which looked non-aggressive and as if it had no intelligence.

If this blood-colored plant was not the creature that he had sensed as bringing him a sense of danger, then there was no doubt that the opportunities and dangers that he had sensed here were all referring to the secret realm.

"The opportunities that I sensed... may not be some kind of treasure, but the entrance to the secret realm."

"And the enemies may exist in the secret realm!"

Su Chen murmured, his eyes deep.

After thinking for a while, he raised his mantis knife and chopped it down, splitting a gap in the blood pool.

The blood flowed out from it, making the bloody smell in this area even thicker and more pungent.

Accompanied by a large amount of blood and flesh, Su Chen flew into the air and stared at the blood pool.

The blood in the blood pool continued to drop, revealing the roots of the thriving blood-colored plants.

Su Chen continued to move down as the blood dropped.

Finally, the blood pool reached the bottom.

A gap suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"Is this... the entrance to the secret realm?"

Su Chen's pupils contracted, and he looked at the gap with a shocked expression.

It was called a gap, but more strictly speaking, it was a space crack emitting blood-colored light, like an irregular lightning shape in a rainy night, with a gap large enough for a beast to enter.

At this time, although the blood in the blood pool had dried up, blood was still oozing out of the crack, and occasionally with some flesh and blood, which looked very strange and ominous, making people terrified.

There was no doubt that this was the entrance to the secret realm.

Although it looked a little weird, Su Chen's eyes couldn't help but get hot when he thought of the description of the secret realm by the players in the forum.

Without hesitation, he immediately flew downwards and crashed into the secret realm.

The world in front of him seemed to be covered in blood for a moment.

A slight dizziness emerged, as if he had experienced some kind of teleportation.

Accompanied by a black screen in front of his eyes.

When Su Chen opened his eyes again, a display box popped up in front of him:

[You have entered the secret realm: the land of flesh and blood. ]

"The secret realm of the land of flesh and blood?"

Su Chen's eyes flickered, and just as he was about to look up and look around, he heard a sound of breaking air behind him, which made his expression suddenly change, and he subconsciously burst out with a swear word:

"Fuck, there is Lao Liu?"
