Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The old man was very angry.

"Is it you?"

"Forest ranger?"

Seeing Su Chen, both the cultists and the Rat King had their pupils shrink. They didn't expect that Su Chen had been following them.

But Su Chen didn't care about them, and his eyes were still fixed on the old priest.

Facing Su Chen's gaze, the old priest looked grim. "Human, I have to say that you are very strong."

"At least in my opinion, you are much stronger than these guys."

"Even your existence is not in my plan."

"But unfortunately, you shouldn't come here."

Hearing this, Su Chen said lightly. "Oh? Really? Can you tell me why?"

"It's very simple."

The old priest twisted his neck, and his body swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, a sizzling sound rang out on his body surface, and thunder began to spread all over.

"Because, you will die!"

The moment the voice fell, a flash of lightning flashed by and suddenly appeared in front of Su Chen!

It was the old priest, with a ferocious look at this moment, punching and killing, with violent thunder covered on his fist, and faintly, there seemed to be a sense of thunder contained in it.

Su Chen's eyes flashed, and he chopped out with a knife. The sharp slash suddenly broke out. With a puff, an arm was directly cut off with a scream!

The old priest was chopped off by a knife!

A sneer rose on Su Chen's face. "Will I die? It seems that you don't have that ability yet."

Boom——

The violent thunder broke out.

The old priest staggered to his feet, looked at his broken right arm, and laughed excitedly. "Hahaha, you will know whether you have this ability or not."

"Why do you think I have planned so much?"

"It's all for this moment!"

The raging thunder power continued to explode, causing the old priest's aura to rise and rise, and even Su Chen felt a little fear.

"Did you see it? This is my real power, the power given by God!"

"Without the restriction, this power can be used, and you will die in my hands!"

The old priest's voice was cold, and he attacked again. The terrifying speed shocked Su Chen, as if he appeared in front of Su Chen in an instant and punched out.

The strong wind pushed Su Chen's body, making him dodge the attack suddenly, causing the old priest's fist to hit the ground. With a loud bang, the ground was immediately smashed into a large pit full of thunder.

"Kill them!"

The old priest retracted his fist and rushed towards Su Chen again, and at the same time gave an order.

The next moment, dozens of orcs roared, and the same thunder power as the old priest appeared on their bodies, and they rushed directly towards the cultists and the rat king.

Some of them also rushed towards Su Chen.

The violent power turned into various forms and kept killing Su Chen.

"Get out!"

Su Chen looked indifferent, and after dodging the old priest's attack again, he looked back and saw two orcs bathing in thunder clothes rushing towards him, and their violent fists contained terrifying destructive power.

But the next moment, with a clang, Su Chen raised his knife to block in front of him, and with the shield formed by the strong wind, he forcibly blocked it!

"Compared to that old thing, your strength is too much worse!"

Su Chen said coldly, and his power burst out, and at the same time, a violent thunder burst out, instantly knocking the two orcs away, and then swung his knife backhanded.

The slashing blow that rose from the ground instantly engulfed the two orcs and turned them into dust, but the next moment, the two orcs turned into golden light and resurrected.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and felt something vaguely, but suddenly turned back and didn't care.

The old priest attacked again.

The old priest, who burst out with all his strength, showed a strength that Su Chen had never expected.

Killed with one punch, the speed of the fist swinging was like a gust of wind.

Su Chen turned his head, and the fist brushed past his ear, but the strong punch made him feel like a blade scraping his cheek, a scar appeared, and blood gushed out.

"Die!"

Su Chen shouted, seized the opportunity to chop a knife, and the thunder and the strong wind on the blue wind merged, turning into a terrifying slash.

The old priest was annihilated on the spot.

However, as Su Chen expected, the old priest was resurrected as the golden light spread.

But at this moment, he looked at Su Chen in shock, confused. "Why do you have the aura of my god on you?"

"My god?"

"Are you referring to this power?"

Su Chen grinned,

Raising his left hand, lightning gathered in his palm, instantly attracting the old priest's attention.

"Yes, it's this breath. Are you also a believer of my god?" the old priest asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Su Chen clenched his fists, and the lightning dissipated immediately, with a mocking smile on his lips. "I'm different from you. I got this power by relying on my own ability, and you..."

"If I'm not mistaken, you got this power by betrayal, right?"

Hearing this, the old priest's pupils shrank, and even some orcs who were fighting subconsciously turned their heads to look over, with pain, anger, complexity and other expressions in their eyes.

"How did you know?"

"I guessed it."

Su Chen waved Cangfeng and said calmly. "At first, I was confused. Why, in your description, you are clearly a believer of the Lord of Gold, and this place is the birthplace of the Lord of Gold, but it is like a cage to you."

"Now, I understand."

"Because of betrayal."

Under the old priest's hateful gaze, Su Chen said lightly. "Although I don't know the reason, there is no doubt that you betrayed the 'Lord of Gold' and threw yourself into the arms of the 'Lord of Thunder', and at a critical moment, because of your existence, the Lord of Gold died in the God War."

"That's why the Lord of Gold gave you the curse."

"While this curse makes you immortal, if I'm not mistaken, every time you die, your strength will be one point weaker than before, right?"

In fact, Su Chen had already noticed it before, and after killing the old priest again just now, he finally confirmed that although the orcs can be resurrected infinitely, their strength will be weakened by one point every time they are resurrected.

This kind of weakening is probably the same as resurrection, there is no upper limit.

If you keep dying until the end, you might be worse than an ant!

In addition, the world in Lingxu is a cage for the orcs, and they cannot leave here...

It can be imagined that the purpose of the Lord of Gold to bestow this curse is to make these orcs constantly die, revive, and become weaker under the erosion of time or the suppression of giant beasts.

Until the end, even wild beasts can easily slaughter them, making them reincarnate in constant killing and resurrection!

And it is a reincarnation that will never stop!

"To be honest, I didn't know what you did at first to make a god hate you so much and give you such a terrible curse before dying."

"But when you controlled the thunder, I understood."

Under the gloomy looks of the old priest and a group of orcs, Su Chen said lightly. "Because of betrayal!"

Orcs who call themselves Golden Cultists, and believers in the birthplace of the Lord of Gold, can imagine how devout their faith in the Lord of Gold was.

But in the end, he actually walked into the arms of other gods, how ridiculous?

"What do you know?"

"You know nothing at all!"

Su Chen's slightly sarcastic words made him furious. He roared and attacked again. Under the stimulation of the violent thunder, everything of the old priest reached the extreme.

Strength, speed, and even destructive power!

But he had died once, and his strength had declined a lot.

Facing the attacking old priest, Su Chen's eyes flashed cold, his whole body tensed, and then he swung his sword to cut the old priest at the moment he rushed in front of him.

With a sound of puff.

The terrifying slash flew away, and the old priest's whole body was split in the middle, split into two!

But in the end, the old priest was resurrected.

He stared at Su Chen with resentment, and kept repeating words like "you don't understand".

Su Chen sneered. "I really don't understand. After all, I'm not a traitor."

"Not only me, Nuo, I guess the guy over there is the same."

Su Chen looked at the cultist who had just killed an orc in the distance.

Sensing Su Chen's gaze, he turned his head and looked over. After praying seriously, he nodded. "Indeed, no matter what, I will not betray my god. Traitors are unforgivable!"

"Look."

"Cultists are better than you. At least they won't betray the gods they believe in."

Su Chen continued to taunt.

Hearing this, the crazy old priest was really broken on the spot, his eyes were red, even if his strength was weakened again, he still rushed towards Su Chen.

But Su Chen could kill him before, let alone him who was weakened now?

Holding Cangfeng tightly, Su Chen's pupils were swaying with thunder and wind.

With a slash, the wind and thunder intertwined, killing the old priest again

!

The golden light filled the air, and the old priest was resurrected again.

At the moment of resurrection, he rushed over again, roaring like crazy. "Damn human, you can't kill me!"

"I can't kill you, but I can kill you to the same level as an ant!"

The ability to resurrect is indeed terrifying, but when a person's strength will be weakened by one point every time he resurrects, and he has begun to die continuously, then this ability begins to become ridiculous.

Su Chen sneered, and the sharp slash flew across, killing the old priest again!

In just one breath, the old priest was resurrected again.

But at this moment, he kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down from his anger and keep his sanity.

Looking at Su Chen, his voice was extremely cold. "Human, I have to say that your plan is very useful. It angered me, causing me to die continuously and my strength to decline continuously..."

"But unfortunately, I have calmed down."

"I don't want to waste any more time."

"All this will end!"

After the words fell, the old priest looked at the divine body. The animal skin bag on his waist flashed with light, and then drops of golden blood suddenly emerged.

The old priest swallowed all the golden blood into his mouth, and his momentum suddenly soared!

"I did betray Him!"

"But so what?"

"He is dead!"

"And the power He once gave me is still for my use!"

The old priest roared wantonly, and the thunder on his body was raging, and in an instant it was covered by dazzling golden light.

Under Su Chen's gaze, his body continued to expand, and in a trance, it seemed like a real golden giant... was being born.

At the same time, no one noticed that above their heads, in the golden soil, the ancient pupils opened again.

The deep disgust in those pupils reappeared!
