The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

[Evolution Complete]

[Emerald Blade Mantis has awakened]

[Emerald Blade Mantis Level 5 → Emerald Blade Mantis Level 6]

[Awakened Special Talent — Monster Transformation]

The system notification popped up in his vision.

Li Muyang saw the light cocoon on the ground crack open, and a five-meter long gigantic mantis crawled out from underground, devouring the fragments of the cocoon.

Submerged in the wooden tub, he sighed lightly, closed his eyes pretending to sleep, and controlled the Emerald Blade Mantis to crawl out.

The Emerald Blade Mantis, having evolved to stage 6, was now comparable in size to Wu Shan Jun.

It stood silently in the wilderness, its body faintly glowing.

The entirely emerald-green carapace looked like a huge piece of fine jade.

The slender streamlined body was elegant and exquisite.

It didn't resemble a beast as much as it did a piece of art.

Controlling the Emerald Blade Mantis in the woods, with a light leap, the five-meter-long mantis unfolded a pair of narrow, transparent wings from its abdomen.

A gust of wind suddenly rose in the forest as the gigantic five-meter-long mantis took to the sky, diving towards the huge mountain ahead.

The jade-like huge scythe arms waved gently in the air, and a flash of cold light passed, splitting the ten-meter-high cliff wall perfectly smooth at the middle.

Seeing such power made Li Muyang's heart leap.

"Such a powerful blade light..."

At level 5, the Emerald Blade Mantis was still a notch weaker than Wu Shan Jun.

But now, having evolved to level 6, the Emerald Blade Mantis had undergone some kind of qualitative change.

From its size to its strength, everything had grown explosively.

The battle strength of the level 6 Emerald Blade Mantis was now no less than that of Wu Shan Jun.

Especially the powerful scythe arm that could split mountains, which was much fiercer than Wu Shan Jun at stage 3.

Li Muyang opened the data page and found that the health bar, defense, and various other values of the Emerald Blade Mantis were all behind Wu Shan Jun.

However, the Emerald Blade Mantis's high attack power of 737 completely shattered Wu Shan Jun's attack power of 236, leaving no trace.

Wu Shan Jun was a hexagonal warrior, with a very well-rounded build.

Yet the Emerald Blade Mantis was an elegant assassin hunter, stacking most of its evolution points into attack power.

Its health bar might be thin, but its attack power was terrifyingly strong.

With a single slash, even Core Formation cultivators would have to frown.

In this land where cultivation was sealed, there were virtually no enemies the Emerald Blade Mantis couldn't kill with one slash.

However, a new problem had arisen.

"The Emerald Blade Mantis has already evolved to this level; where should I go next to hunt down beings of the same level to obtain evolution points?"

In this fun little evolution game, hunting beings of the same level was the fastest way to obtain evolution points.

But the issue was, at stage 5, the Emerald Blade Mantis was already unable to find beasts of the same level in the forest; it could only snatch the Spiritual Medicines escorted by the Blood Lotus Sect to gain evolution points.

But those Spiritual Medicines sent to the front lines were already hard-pressed to support evolution to stage 5, and now that it has reached stage 6...

"Do I really have to leave this area and go to hunt the demons in the mountains?"

From what Li Muyang knew, under the rule of the Refinement Demon Sect, there were many demon lairs in the mountains and wilds.

Lairs like the Centipede Ridge could form an alliance with the Demon Sect and cooperate with each other.

And even the weaker demon lairs could cling to the Demon Sect's coat-tails and scrape together a living under their rule.

Following the evolution path of the Emerald Blade Mantis, upon reaching stage 6, it should be time to hunt down such creatures as demons.

Li Muyang controlled the Emerald Blade Mantis as it nimbly moved through the forest, heading in the direction indicated by the system.

It was now twilight, the night sky dotted with stars, and the forest seemed somewhat tranquil.

The five-meter-long Emerald Scythe Mantis flew over the wilderness, and to the creatures in these mountains and forests, it was nothing short of a fearsome existence akin to a demon god.

Even the fierce beasts that topped the food chain in the mountains and wilderness did not dare to provoke this terrifying creature.

As the Emerald Scythe Mantis bathed in the moonlight while flying over, all the wild beasts in the woods lowered their bodies, huddled in the shadows, trembling, not daring to make any sound.

Soon, the Emerald Scythe Mantis flew past this expansive primeval jungle and saw the city of humans from afar.

Standing atop the mountain ridge, the Emerald Scythe Mantis seemed to merge with the night.

In the city on the distant plains, lights were shining from thousands of homes, looking bustling and prosperous.

But Li Muyang looked carefully and found this city somewhat familiar.

"Could this be... Tianjiao City?"

Li Muyang's heart skipped a beat inside the barrel.

The Emerald Scythe Mantis had come to the vicinity of Tianjiao City by following the system's guidance?

Crap!
Find your next adventure on empire

Did the system mean for the Emerald Scythe Mantis to charge into the city and go on a killing spree?

The followers of the Refinement Demon Sect within the city were indeed prime evolutionary materials.

There were many physically strong warriors, and those above the mid-ranks of the sect were all martial cultivators.

Devouring so many people would indeed facilitate evolution to the 7th stage.

Not to mention that Tianjiao City was the main storage hub for the Refinement Demon Sect. Now, all the sect's supplies were hoarded here, to be distributed outwardly.

In the warehouse stockpiling Spiritual Medicine, an enormous quantity of Spiritual Medicines was stored.

If the Emerald Scythe Mantis were to break in, loot the Spiritual Medicine warehouse, and kill all the Refinement Demon Sect followers in the city, it would not just reach the 7th stage; evolving to the 8th stage was also a possibility.

But...

"Is it possible?"

Li Muyang was deeply skeptical.

Although the attack power of the Emerald Scythe Mantis 737 was invincible in this land, its health bar was too fragile, its defensive power too low.

Once it entered the city and got surrounded by the Refinement Demon Sect, facing the onslaught of various weapons from all directions, Li Muyang would lose the bet if the Emerald Scythe Mantis lasted ten minutes.

Having lurked in this city for a month and a half, Li Muyang had gradually come to understand the ins and outs of these Refinement Demon Sect followers.

Most followers had undergone rigorous military training, using their abundant combat experience.

They were fearless in the face of death, anyway, since they could be resurrected from the cauldron if they died.

The mid and upper echelons of the Refinement Demon Sect were all average martial cultivators... and comparable to the martial cultivators of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

It was evident that apart from obtaining the Cultivation Technique of the Demon Path from the chat group, the Sect Hierarch had also managed to acquire secret martial arts training scripts from the Tianyuan Dynasty.

Faced with the Refinement Demon Sect, teeming with talent, a 6th-stage Emerald Scythe Mantis obviously was still not enough to provoke them.

Li Muyang closed his eyes and once again entered the perspective of the Emerald Scythe Mantis.

Atop the mountain ridge, the completely emerald-hued Emerald Scythe Mantis retracted its transparent wings from underneath its abdomen, moving gracefully toward the base of the mountain.

In the field of vision, the system's prompt was at the foot of the mountain.

Li Muyang confirmed again and found that the direction indicated by the system's arrow was not towards the city but towards the plain outside it.

Yet with the naked eye, the plain over there was empty, nothing in sight.

Li Muyang was puzzled—was there something at the foot of this mountain?

Out of trust for the system, Li Muyang steered the Emerald Scythe Mantis to stealthily walk through the woods, continuously heading towards the plain at the base of the mountain.

The moonlight spilled onto the body of the Emerald Scythe Mantis, the surface of this more than five-meter-long jade mantis faintly glowed with a shimmer of pale green light.

[Monster Transformation]

It was the special talent that the Emerald Scythe Mantis awakened after evolving to the 6th stage and it automatically activated at this moment.

While Li Muyang was still in shock, the five-meter-long Emerald Scythe Mantis had already dashed down the mountain with a soft green glow, plunging into the plain below the mountain.

And it vanished into the pitch-black underground in an instant.
