Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The king of kings is the king of the king.

[The power of the fake king: You are not the real king, but you also have the majesty of a king. Anyone whose bloodline is lower than yours will feel fear. ]

Looking at the introduction of the new ability, Su Chen's eyes flickered with doubt.

"The power of the fake king... This mark can actually give me the ability?"

I didn't know much about this mark before, I only knew that it appeared out of thin air, and that a living being marked its breath, so that I got this mark.

But I never thought that there was such a magical ability.

This also made Su Chen more curious about this mark.

Suddenly, Su Chen turned his head and looked at the rock.

Its defense is really strong. Ordinary spirits would spit blood and get injured under the tail of the insect king, but Panshi had no expression on his face.

After saying goodbye to Xing, Su Chen walked directly to Panshi.

"Captain Panshi, can I ask you something?" Su Chen asked.

Panshi turned around and smiled when he saw Su Chen. "Of course, ask any questions you have."

"Do you know the fake king's mark?"

"What?"

Panshi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression. "Can you say it again?"

Su Chen said in a deep voice. "Fake king's mark."

"Hiss!"

Panshi took a deep breath and looked puzzled. "How do you know this? Wait, the breath on your body..."

Panshi suddenly looked at Su Chen seriously, as if he was feeling something. After a moment, he showed a shocked expression on his face.

"Wang Wei... you were marked with the fake king's mark?!"

Su Chen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he knew that Panshi should know what this was.

He asked immediately without hesitation. "Captain Panshi, can you tell me what this means?"

Panshi nodded, unable to hide his shock. "Of course, it is obvious that you were spotted by the insect nest and involved in the insect king trial."

"Insect nest?"

The familiar words echoed in Su Chen's ears, and a figure instantly emerged in his mind.

"Is it the pink mantis?"

Su Chen suddenly understood.

But...

"What is the insect king trial?"

Panshi did not answer immediately, but only told the other spirits to continue their journey, and then walked with Su Chen to explain. "This is a bit complicated to explain."

"In short, it is a test to enter the Insect Nest."

"The Insect Nest is a very powerful and mysterious organization. You can probably tell from the name that all the members are insects."

"But not all insects can join the Insect Nest."

"Only when someone in the Insect Nest sees you and thinks you have strong qualifications will you be marked with aura and allowed to participate in an Insect King Test."

Panshi raised his eyes and looked at Su Chen in shock. "Generally speaking, only insects with the qualifications to become a king are qualified to be seen by the Insect Nest. I never thought that you would be qualified to become an Insect King!"

"Insect King?"

"Yes, the Insect King."

Panshi explained again. "There is a king in any group of creatures in the world, including our spiritual people."

"Insects, naturally, are the same."

"After being marked by the false king's mark, the insect king trial will begin. In each trial, some insects favored by the insect nest will join together."

"In this trial, the trialists will constantly face challenges from various enemies, all of whom are attracted by the false king's mark."

"But I don't know much, I only know that after about three trials, they will come to the insect king trial."

"And in this trial, the trialists will meet and fight each other."

"The one who survives in the end... is the insect king!"

Su Chen's heart sank.

Looking at the power of the false king he had just obtained.

"In other words... am I now equivalent to entering the second trial?"

Insect nest...

Su Chen took a deep breath and said puzzledly. "Doesn't the Insect Nest organization care whether those insects are willing to join?"

"No."

Panshi shook his head and said. "Strictly speaking, no insect would care, because the Insect King Trial has huge benefits for any insect."

"Although you may die, as long as you survive to the end and become the Insect King, you are said to become very strong. Of course, the most important thing is to become the Insect King!"

Insect King...

Su Chen's eyes

A hint of doubt flashed across his face.

Panshi noticed it and was shocked. "Don't you know what the Insect King is?"

Su Chen shook his head. "I really don't know."

Panshi's mouth twitched, and he explained again helplessly. "The so-called Insect King is the king of insects. To be more precise, if you become the Insect King, then you are the king of mantises."

"As long as you are willing, most mantises will regard you as the king, willing to follow your footsteps and submit to you!"

"Is that the case?"

Su Chen took a deep breath and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the insect nest didn't care whether the insects were willing to join or not. It was impossible for the insects to be unwilling.

Becoming the Insect King can actually make insects of the same kind submit and follow.

Su Chen suddenly had an incredible idea in his mind and said in astonishment. "Wait, Captain Panshi, you just said that after passing the Insect King Trial and becoming the Insect King, you can successfully join the Insect Nest Organization. Doesn't that mean..."

Panshi knew what Su Chen was going to say, and nodded and grinned. "Incredible, right? That's right, all the members of the insect nest are insect kings!"

"Do you know the Beetle Kingdom next to our Insect Forest?"

"What is that?"

"It is said that the powerful beetle who founded the Beetle Kingdom was once a member of the insect nest, but was kicked out of the insect nest for some reason. After that, it went there and established the Beetle Kingdom!"

"Hiss!"

Su Chen's eyes widened, and his mind was shocked.

If he didn't understand the power of the insect nest before, now he understands it.

This organization seems too terrifying.

Just a member who was kicked out of the organization can create a kingdom of his own?

And how powerful and terrifying are the other members of this organization?

This is the first time Su Chen has seen an organization where everyone is an insect king.

If he had known about it before, he would probably be very unhappy because his breath was marked without his knowledge and he was involved in an inexplicable trial.

Because this was completely without his consent.

But now, after learning about the situation of the Insect King Organization, he was somewhat moved.

He just didn't know what kind of organization this organization was.

He looked at Panshi, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Panshi rolled his eyes and shook his head quickly. "Don't look at me. I'm not an insect. I'm a spirit. I only know this much about the insect nest. Instead of asking me, you should go back to the tribe and ask the elders. They might be able to tell you what you want to know."

"And I only know that since you have been involved in the Insect King Trial, you will definitely have a lot of enemies coming to you next, so you should be careful."

Panshi reminded. "The one who succeeds is the Insect King, and the one who fails is just a stepping stone for the Insect King!"

In response, Su Chen nodded and grinned. "Don't worry, I will."

"And although I don't know whether I want to become the Insect King, you want me to be a stepping stone? Hey!"

It depends on who can survive under his knife!

After understanding the general situation, Su Chen felt much more relieved about the fake king mark.

At least there is no need to worry about hidden harm to oneself.

The only thing that needs to worry about is probably the next Insect King Trial.

Ordinary enemies don't need to be taken seriously, but some enemies who are also trial participants may not be weak.

Thinking of this, Su Chen not only did not feel afraid, but instead felt a little expectation and was eager to try!

"Kill them... I should be able to get a lot of good things, right?"

Su Chen waved the mantis knife and whispered in his heart.

The sharp intention flashed on the knife, Su Chen raised his head, and walked forward with concentration, not thinking about it anymore.

On the side, Panshi touched his head and felt a palpitation inexplicably. He shivered subconsciously. After looking around and finding no enemies, he frowned and looked puzzled.

"Strange, why do I always feel like a sharp weapon scratched me."

"Is it an illusion?"

Muttered, Panshi also quickened his pace.

The black blood in front became thicker and thicker.

After all the spirits and Su Chen took another bottle of potion, Panshi said seriously. "Be careful, the insect king has appeared before, I'm afraid we are not far from our destination."

"This place is very close to the destination, and the enemies we will face next will not be few, and they will not be easy."

As soon as the voice fell.

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Hehe, you sinners who don't believe in my God, you actually come here like those ugly rats, it's really surprising."

Su Chen suddenly looked up.

A black shadow was hanging upside down there without knowing when, with a pair of scarlet eyes.

His pupils blinked and scanned all the people present.

"Cultist?"

Panshi also discovered the existence of the other party, and suddenly became alert and punched out.

With a violent burst of energy, the cultist's wings suddenly closed in front of him, and with a bang, he easily blocked the attack.

At this time, Su Chen also saw the cultist's figure clearly, and his pupils contracted.

"It's actually a bat!"

It has a head like a mouse, sharp fangs extending from its mouth, and limbs connected to wing membranes. When it flaps, it raises a fishy wind.

The blood-red eyes are even more charming.

It makes people subconsciously think of the vampire bats they heard about when they were young.

"I originally wanted to slowly eat you up, but since you came to my door, I can't pretend that I didn't see it."

The cultist flapped his wings, and his figure suddenly flew backwards, and then laughed crazily.

"Die, all of you, die here!"

"Become a tribute to my god, hahaha!"

As the wings flapped, a bloody halo spread out.

The black blood on the ground suddenly surged like boiling water.

The next moment.

A roar sounded.

One after another, huge monsters crawled out of the blood.

Insect King!

All of them are Insect Kings!

The rock and the spirits looked solemn, subconsciously standing back to back, alert to the surroundings, and the atmosphere became a little solemn for a while.

But at this moment, the breeze passed by, and a figure burst out like a residual image, and the next moment it appeared directly behind the cultist in the air.

"You are a bit noisy!"

Su Chen's calm voice sounded.

In the ears of the cultists, it was no less than a thunder that suddenly sounded in their minds. They turned back suddenly, with a look of disbelief on their faces!

"You, why are you behind me?"

Su Chen grinned, revealing a bright smile. "Guess!"

After the words fell, without waiting for the cultist to answer, Su Chen directly swung the mantis knife, and with a swish, he beheaded the cultist!
