《My Evolution Starting from a Giant Tree》 Chapter 1: Rebirth into a Tree Chapter 1: Rebirth into a Tree It waste at night. It was pitch-ck and one could not see anything. However, the depths of the mountain were not quiet. The roars of ferocious beasts came one after another like a tidal wave. The leaves of the trees in the forest shook with the wind and rustled. At this moment. In the depths of a mountain range from afar, there was actually a ball of gentle light faintly flickering. Looking at it, it was actually a weak branch. The branch was tender green, and the infusion was crystal clear like Jade. Spots of gentle light could not stop spreading. "Is this... my golden finger?" A murmur, as if someone was whispering in his ear but outsiders could not hear the voice. Faintly, only the air trembled. Lin Meng. A transmigrator who lost consciousness just because he drank a mouthful of water and choked. When he woke up again, he was shocked to find that he had be a tree. Yes. A tree. And it was a willow tree. All the branches drooped down like a waterfall. The crown of the tree opened and dispersed. The bark was gray-ck and cracked irregrly. If he guessed correctly, it should be a weeping willow with high ornamental value. Of course, the ornamental value was just ornamental value. Weeping willows could be seen everywhere. They were alsomonly used as roadside trees inndscaping. ... Lin Meng didn''t really care about transmigrating or even transmigrating into a tree. He just felt that it was a little weird as if something that was far away from him suddenly happened right under his nose. In the words of some people, "This isn''t scientific." But it wasn''t scientific. It wasn''t scientific at all. However, Lin Meng''s character of taking things as they came was meant he was destined to not think about it too much. Being able to live was already a good thing. How could he dare to ask for more? Moreover, he had a pretty good golden finger. Turning his field of vision, he saw a weak willow branch emitting a sparkling green glow gently swaying under the cover of the night. This was one of the more than fifty branches that he currently had. The reason why this one was glowing was because Lin Meng had invested 0.1 evolution points into this branch. "Attribute panel." He muttered. The next second, a translucent blue screen that only Lin Meng could see appeared in front of him. Race: Mutated Weeping Willow Lifespan: 0.4/20 years Evolution Points: 0.2 (Acquisition Methods: The first way is receiving sunlight and absorbing the unknown energy for extraction. The second method is to plunder other animals and nts for extraction.) Ability: A mutated branch. ... "Mutated?" Looking at the contents of the attribute panel, Lin Meng muttered softly. Immediately, his thoughts shifted to the branch. At this moment, the light emitted by the branch was so weak that it could not be seen. It should be the end of its evolution. However, Lin Meng felt that it was very strange. It was as if he could freely control this branch. Yes, freely control. Although he had be a tree, the body was not under his control previously. Only when a breeze blew by would his drooping branches sway slightly with the wind. However, this was normal. After all, a willow tree was a nt. Not an animal. However, at this moment, Lin Meng had this strange feeling. It was as if this single branch hadpletely turned into his arm. With a thought, this lone branch began to sway gently. Following that, as Lin Meng thought to move, it began to sway again. It could even form a circle, just like an agile green snake. "Interesting." Lin Meng was a little excited after his first attempt. It could indeed be controlled. Moreover, he did not know if it was an illusion but he actually had a feeling in his heart. It seemed that he was not only able to do just this. For example. Just like now, he violently pulled at the air. Pa! It was as if he was pulling at the air. A clear sound suddenly exploded under the night sky. Immediately after, under Lin Meng''s stunned gaze, a white wave of air also streaked across the night sky. The white wave was not long. Only two meters long. But it was precisely the mark that his branch had left behind. In other words, with this violent pull, he actually pulled out a wave of air. "This power..." If Lin Meng had a human body at this moment, he would definitely prop up his chin and ponder. "If I whip a person, he should die, right?" "Probably." After pondering once again, Lin Meng said with some certainty. After all, the power of this whip was definitely not as simple as a flesh wound. After all, it was a sonic boom. Lin Meng was no stranger to the term sonic boom. Even if a person was only holding a ten-meter-long whip, he could still whip out a sonic boom. The whip would make a crackling sound when it was swung. This phenomenon had been scientifically exined in his previous life about 100 years ago. The force would be transmitted continuously along the branches until it reached the tip. At this time, the speed of the whip would also be at its fastest. When it broke through the sound barrier and was transmitted into the air, it would make people feel a short but extremely intense explosion. This explosion wasmonly known as a "sonic boom." "If that''s the case, I seem to have some lethality. Moreover, it''s not weak." Looking at the two-to-three meters long green branches swaying wantonly in the night sky, Lin Meng also felt a little emotional. He originally thought that after bing a tree, what awaited him for his entire life would be forbearance and not being able to fight back. Never had he imagined that, in just a few days, he''d already possessed the strength to fight back. "Hehe." With a mischievous smile, Lin Meng seemed to have seen a very interesting scene. The buzzing bees that were extremely annoying woulde one after another and they woulde in pairs. During these past few days, Lin Meng had endured enough of those bees. He was in a canyon with a lot of wildflowers. Lin Meng did not have a sense of smell, so he was not sure if they were fragrant or not. However, during the day, there would be a lot of bees and it was very annoying toe and go. What was worth mentioning about this canyon was that it spanned about a hundred meters, and its height should be more than a few hundred meters. As if it was in the gap between two mountains. As for how high it was, Lin Meng couldn''t guess. His height was only about three to four meters. There were many trees that were taller than him. And through the dense thickets, he couldn''tpare the canyon''s height at all. However, fortunately, his visionnded on the branches of the willow tree. Now, he had a 360-degree vision. This feeling was very strange but it was real. It was like the legendary eyesthe byakugan. Through this vision, Lin Meng was able to see through the dense branches in the sky and observe his surroundings as much as he wanted. "Can these trees really grow so tall?" Looking at therge trees around him that only a few people could hug, Lin Meng was also puzzled. Among these trees, there were also willow trees. But the average willow tree was only twenty-to-thirty meters tall, and these willow trees... Lin Meng''s heart twitched as he looked at these weeping willow trees that were probably fifty-to-sixty meters tall. He was also stunned. However, there was one thing that was true. There seemed to be something strange in the air. Sometimes, Lin Meng also felt warm, as if something was surging into his body. This feeling was veryfortable. It was not far off from a massage. In this way, Lin Meng did not reject it. He even intentionally absorbed it. Of course, at this time, Lin Meng did not notice that he seemed to have grown two-to-three meters in a few days. One had to know that when he had just regained consciousness, this willow tree was only a small sapling. Now, it''s just a small tree.

Chapter 2: Evolution Points Chapter 2: Evolution Points Although his body was a willow tree, his consciousness still existed. Thus, Lin Meng naturally had to have some much-needed rest. Turning off his vision, Lin Meng seemed to have fallen asleep. In the blink of an eye, the middle of the night had passed. There was an additionalyer of white on the horizon, like a halo. It was very charming. Deep in the forest, there was also a humid fog. The fog was hazy. For a moment, this ancient forest that no one had been to before set off like a fairnd. Buzz buzz! Suddenly, a sound was heard. Lin Meng subconsciously opened his eyes. When he saw it, a bee was already flying slowly in his field of vision. "You''re disturbing my sleep again." Amidst his grumbling, Lin Meng was suddenly stunned. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said fiercely,"Ten years is not toote for a gentleman to take revenge. Several days are not toote for a willow tree to take revenge." As soon as he finished speaking, a ''pa'' sound was heard. It was as if the air had been blown apart. The afterimage of a green whip had already swept through the air. Then... There was no ''then.'' The buzzing sound came to an abrupt stop. At the same time, a wisp of blood mist slowly bloomed in the air. Looking at the bee that had not even flown out but had actually been directly whipped into a blood mist, Lin Meng was also a little stunned. This power seemed to be more than just terrifying. Just as Lin Meng was stunned, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind. "Ding!You killed a bee. Evolution Points + 0.1." Hearing this voice, Lin Meng calmed down a little. This was the voice of the system but it had only appeared once. He didn''t expect it to sound again. Was it just a reminder? After thinking for a while, Lin Meng let go of this thought and turned to look at his evolution points. Really, 0.1 more points. "This... This is a big surprise." Lin Meng, who seemed to be slower by half a beat, seemed to have discovered a new world. His words were filled with excitement. After all, he had only managed to umte 0.1 evolution points after suffering under the sun for a day. But now, just killing a bee gave him 0.1 evolution points. Sure enough, killing people and stealing goods was the way to go. Ptui! What was he thinking about? I want to be a big shot like the willow deity. How can I kill people and steal goods? This is just thepetition of the natural world. The Willow God. Lin Meng. In the movies and novels of his previous life, his main body was a peerless expert of a willow tree. He was very strong, his strength was heaven-defying, and his battle prowess made people from ancient times and today afraid. Lin Meng clearly remembered a paragraph describing him: "A slender figure stepped out of the willow tree, making all things submit, looking down on heaven and earth. "The dharma idol behind the Willow God shone and it had a perfect body. It was not just limited to the tree. The person''s entire body was clean and wless, and the light was like the radiance of the moon. Wisps of white fog filled the air and there were three thousand spheres of light around him. It was one world after another!" Tsk tsk, a man should be like that. Lin Meng did not have high expectations. He did not want to carry three thousand worlds like the Willow God. He only wanted to leave the tree and be a human. It was rare for him to fall into paranoia and Lin Meng couldn''t hold it in any longer. After all, with his evolution points, he was looking forward to what the future would be like. Of course, transforming into a human was just Lin Meng''s imagination. Although his evolution points were powerful, he didn''t have any heaven-defying abilities at the moment. Koff... After a dry cough, the silly Lin Meng finally pulled his consciousness back to reality. Immediately, he looked around as if he was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, there was no one around. It would be strange if there were people in this valley that no one had ever been to before. Lin Meng, who had reacted, added another sentence. Immediately, he stepped onto the main topic. Strengthen,quickly strengthen. He had originally nned to save evolution points for a rainy day but he did not expect to obtain so many evolution points from plundering other creatures. Thus, Lin Meng naturally prioritized strengthening. With strength, it was easier to kill... To survive. After a short while, he threw all of his remaining 0.3 evolution points into the branches. Hula, hula... Following the vibration of the willow tree, another three branches emitted a sparkling radiance. However, because it was daytime, it was not as obvious as it would be at night. At this moment, Lin Meng could clearly feel an unknown force surging within the branches. When he raised his eyes to take a closer look, Lin Meng even discovered that the three branches he had strengthened were flourishing even more and the leaves were more vividly emerald green. Swish, swish... A strong wind was stirred up and three blurs of green whips were pulled out one after another in the air. Immediately after, another three crisp sonic booms sounded and the entire canyon slightly reverberated. "Four..." Looking at the four branches that were swaying in the air with his thoughts, Lin Meng was a little excited. A single branch was enough to cause one''s scalp to go numb. Four, that scene could be imagined. Yu! Shaa! Yu! ... The enemy that was whipped would not be able to protect their life. Moreover, he had fifty branches. If fifty branches evolved and strengthened... When he thought of this, Lin Meng''s heart shook. "At that time, I''ll probably be a tree demon." Time was the most worthless thing to a tree. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. At this moment, in the depths of the canyon, there was a willow tree that was twenty-to-thirty meters tall. It was very tall and straight. There were many trees in the canyon. However, everyone who walked into the canyon would probably only notice this willow tree. This was because this willow tree had tens of thousands of branches that sometimes hung down. At other times, it was like a dancing elf prancing in the air. Every branch was like this. It was like a jade-green waterfall that swayed in the air. At this moment, as if it had noticed something, this willow tree suddenly paused. Soon after. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... Tens of thousands of branches pointed towards a spot in the air. Bang! Apanied by a frightening roar, a wave of air surged and spread in all directions. However, even with such a frightening momentum, the tens of thousands of willow branches stopped in front of a huge rock. It was around half a meter long. Lin Meng had grown wildly. He was already over twenty meters tall in half a month. The branches were even over ten meters long. However, facing the huge rock that was so far away, Lin Meng still felt helpless. However, there was still one point that was difficult to ignore. Although the branches could not touch it, it was something that Lin Meng had strengthened during this half a month With the branches, they attacked together. They swept up the air, causing the air to be filled with residual energy. They smashed the huge rock that was half a meter away into pieces. Ka-cha! Ka-cha! Ka-cha... One sound after another, the huge rock that was two to three meters tall had turned into small pieces. "This is a minor killing move." Lin Meng was secretly delighted. He had already nned to use it as a trump card. He could not walk, so he could only defend the ground. If he encountered a strong enemy and provoked them around him, he could use the length of the branches to give people a wrong judgment. When necessary, he could use the residual force of the air to instantly kill them. This was the legendary air cannon. Of course, there were other ways to attack from afar. For example, he could use the branches to roll up rocks and smash them. But it was not as powerful as this. After all, this was an air cannon. If he was a little stronger and could wrap up more air, his strength would be truly extraordinary. At that time, even if he encountered modern weapons, Lin Meng would not be afraid. As for modern weapons... Where did theye from? Chapter 3: Humans? Chapter 3: Humans? During this half a month, Lin Meng had seen nes flying overhead more than once. In other words, it could be preliminarily determined that this was a modern worldbined with the willows. Lin Meng felt that this world should not be too unfamiliar. It might be the world of his previous life. However, considering that he had grown more than 20 meters in this half a month, and the surrounding trees were more or less several meters tall, Lin Meng still had to remain skeptical of this ''previous world'' theory. In his previous life, the trees did not have such an abnormal growth rate. Moreover, these were other trees. They did not intentionally absorb the unknown energy as Lin Meng did. If they intentionally absorbed the unknown energy in the air, their growth rate would probably be even higher. It might not even be an exaggeration to say that they could cover the world. Not only that, but Lin Meng also noticed that some animals seemed to have some small changes. However, the speed at which the animals absorbed the unknown energy seemed to be slower than the trees. The changes were also not as obvious as these trees. They just ran faster and had a sharper sense of smell. Just like now, for several days, no animals dared toe to his territory. His evolution points were now empty. He had spent all the evolution points he had obtained to strengthen the branches. Now, he only had three evolution points left. Of course, Lin Meng was not aplete butcher. He still had his own selfish motives. Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! A sharp and continuous cry suddenly sounded from somewhere on Lin Meng''s body. He looked up and saw that a nest had appeared at a triangle formed by the treetops. A bird''s nest. It was very simple and crude. In the bird''s nest, there were eight baby birds that were about the size of a fist. They were screaming crazily and their mouths were wide open as if their mother-inw was asking for a betrothal gift. "Are these little guys hungry?" Lin Meng was suspicious and he muttered to himself. However, looking at the nest of baby birds, Lin Meng could not hide the joy in his heart. This was because it was a peregrine falcon. A medium-sized bird of prey, an adult peregrine falcon can reach 41-50 cm in length and its wingspan can reach 95-115 cm. When hunting prey, peregrine falcons will quickly fly high in the sky, and then dive down at a speed of 270-360 km/h! 300 km/h dive speed, what kind of concept is that. One had to know that the fastest speed of a cheetah was only 120 kilometers per hour. The peregrine falcon, on the other hand, was three times as fast as a cheetah. Such speed! If it was hunting, just the pressure it brought was enough to suffocate people. And the nest of fledglings in front of them was a peregrine falcon that was as fast as leaving the bowstring. Its lower body was white and there were fine ck spots on its upper chest. Its lower chest was covered with ck spots from bottom to bottom. Although they were just chicks, their white jade ws were honed and sharp, and their bean-sized eyes were bright. As for why these chicks built their nest here, it was up to him to take the me. It was because not long ago, he felt that the trees around him were too tall and covered the sky. He used the branches to break the trees around him. Then, the nest of baby birds fell from a big tree. Initially, Lin Meng wanted to use it to replenish evolution points but, when he recognized that this was the children of a medium-sized peregrine falcon, he had a n in mind. If he could train them, this nest of peregrine falcons would probably be very useful. Moreover, the animals and nts nowadays were mutating... If... If,this family of peregrine falcons had sharper beaks and tougher bodies... In the future, would these peregrine falcons shoot their enemies at the speed of bullets in just a breath? Tsk tsk. He felt excited just thinking about this scene. If he was lucky, these little guys might be his right-hand men. Thus, Lin Meng naturally took on the role of a nanny. Moreover, he did not need food. By asionally farming evolution points, he could quickly obtain some animal carcasses. Because of this, these little fellows did notck food. With a smile, looking at the peregrine falcon with its mouth open, Lin Meng suddenly pulled a branch to the ground. Then, it rolled and rolled up half of the rabbit''s body. He had killed it yesterday. He had buried it in the soil as nutrients for himself, and some of it was used as food for these little fellows. The branches exerted force and divided the rabbit meat into several small pieces. Then, they carefully put them into the little fellows'' mouths one by one. "This way of eating is too ugly." Looking at the peregrine falcon eating happily, Lin Mengined. Then, he urged the branches to caress the little fellows again. Perhaps they had be familiar with each other, but these little fellows had already selectively ignored his teasing. Some of them even narrowed their eyes as if they were enjoying themselves. Lin Meng smiled. He did not mind and continued to caress their newly born feathers. At this moment, what Lin Meng did not notice was that not far from the canyon... Ta ta ta! Following the sound of footsteps, two figures had already headed deep into the forest. These were two peasant girls. They were dressed in coarse linen clothes and had delicate and pretty faces. If they could dress up, they would probably attract the attention of many people. After all, these two were genuine twins. "Sis, what do you think is going on? The vige doesn''t even allow us to enter the mountains anymore." "Haa, it''s just that something has been happening in the mountains recently. In just half a month, there are already seven or eight people in the vige who have been bitten by snakes and insects. There''s even one who has gone missing." As she spoke, the quiet girl sighed helplessly. "This..." Her expression froze and the other girl also stopped in her tracks. Then, she hesitantly looked into the depths of the forest and said nervously,"Then, is it not good for me to encourage Sister to go there like this?" "Idiot, what''s not good about it?" As she said this, Betty couldn''t help butin, "If I don''t take a good shower in this summer heat, I''m afraid I''ll stink." "And..." After a pause, Betty looked into the depths of the forest and said hesitantly, "It should be... fine. After all, we''ve been here so many times." "That''s true. There aren''t any powerful beasts here." With a mischievous smile, her sister Julie took her sister''s hand and walked into the forest. However, as they went deeper, Betty and Julie''s expressions became more and more strange. "Sister, do you think this forest was this dense thest time we came here?" "I don''t think so. It''s so dark and scary." Looking at the dense forest where even the light couldn''t fall down, Julie couldn''t help but panic. However, panic was just panic. They grew up in the mountains after all. Gritting their teeth, the two of them sped up as they searched for the path. Not long after, they crossed a small hill and looked at a pond not far away from them. Both of them smiled. This pond was still as clear as before. It was as clean as a mirror, reflecting the weariness of the two of them. At this moment, Lin Meng, who was teasing a nest of peregrine falcons, suddenly jolted. If he did not hear wrongly, he seemed to have heard someone''s voice. Moreover, it was a woman. Lin Meng''s heart was slightly puzzled as he looked in the direction of the voice. However, after a moment... Lin Meng could not help but be slightly stunned. "What kind of opening is this?" Looking down from a high altitude, there were actually two beautiful figures ying in a small pond hundreds of meters away. Hundreds of meters were not considered far for the current him. His excellent eyesight allowed him to see clearly. "Two beautiful girls." After hesitating for a while, he made a simplement but did not say anything more. What else could he say? He was no longer in a human body. As a tree, the most he could do was to tie them up... Moreover, humans were very troublesome. Up until now, he had not thought about how to get along with humans. Non-humans had different minds. As for humans... their minds were tooplicated. If he was unlucky and met some extreme humans, a tree demon like him would most likely be dissected and studied. He did not dare to take such a risk. After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of taking the initiative to contact these two women. Before he had an ability to protect himself, he had to keep a low profile and be a tree. Chapter 4: Red Fox Chapter 4: Red Fox The girl''s figure was very beautiful. She was very seductive. Lin Meng admired her for a period of time. When the two girls left, he was still stunned and did not react. He even disguised his branches to make them look no different from the branches around them. After a long time, Lin Meng silently watched the girls'' back as they left. Then, he stopped thinking about the girls and entered an ethereal state once again. This ethereal state was something he had discovered by chance. It allowed him to refine evolution points faster. "Ding! Received the sunlight. Evolution Points +0.1." With a crisp sound, Lin Meng slowly opened his eyes. He realized that his attribute panel had umted to 1 evolution point. With 0.9 evolution points and the current 0.1 evolution points, he had just reached the 1 evolution point threshold. What was worth mentioning was that Lin Meng had already strengthened all 50 of his main branches. The reason why he had umted points was because he wanted to evolve to the next stage of strengthening. Ding! "Once again, confirm if you want to use 1 evolution point to strengthen the tree root." "Confirm." Nodding his head, Lin Meng was also a little excited. It was different from branch evolution. Each branch consumed 0.1 points and the strengthening of the tree root required 1 evolution point. The tree root was the root of the tree, so strengthening it was definitely the most important thing. It was understandable that there was a huge demand for evolution points. As for Lin Meng, he also hoped that after strengthening, he could pull the tree root out of the ground and run like a human. If he could really do it, he would be able to imagine the future. A willow tree, its roots turning into legs, dragging its body as it ran on the ground. That scene would probably hurt his eyes. Tree demon? Or tree spirit? Thinking of this, Lin Meng began to think about his future title. And at that moment, Lin Meng suddenly felt huge pain. As if some power had merged with his roots, the surging energy rushed into the roots and could not be digested in time. Crack! There was a sound. It was as if the roots had exploded. The intense pain from deep underground made Lin Meng''s countless branches tremble uncontrobly. What was even more terrifying was that these strengthened branches were dancing casually in the air, stirring up a wave of wind. For a moment, the area around Lin Meng''s body became a restricted area. Only the bird''s nest at the top of the tree was unharmed. Even though he was in extreme pain, Lin Meng did not forget this group of young birds. "The tree root strengthening is actually so overbearing?" Amidst the bitterness, Lin Meng once again endured. And not long after that... Rumble. As the soil under Lin Meng''s willow tree broke open, a ck tree root that was over ten meters long also leaked out. "Oh, my god!" The root was like a ck python, entrenched on the ground under his control. This should be the power of the evolution point. It could allow him to control the root freely. Of course, this was only a branch root, not the main root. His main root was twenty to thirty meters long, and it went deep into the underground rock stratum. This main root was Lin Meng''s true life-root. Because just now, when Lin Meng wanted to pull the main tree root out from the depths of the earth, an indescribable pain almost killed Lin Meng. Pain. Extremely painful. This time, not to mention running on the ground, Lin Meng evenpletely let go of the thought of controlling the main tree root. That kind of intense pain, if it happened a few more times, Lin Meng felt that he was going to be finished. As expected, even if he had extraordinary strength, it could not change the fact that he was a tree. As a tree, its biggest weakness was its main root. As for the other branches and roots, even if they were broken, Lin Meng would not frown. But the main root was different. This was Lin Meng''s fate. He could not easily touch it. Thinking of this, Lin Meng subconsciously controlled the other roots. Boom! Boom! Boom! As the earth shook, it was as if the Earth Dragon had turned over. And in the depths of the earth that others could not see, Lin Meng had already controlled the eight tree roots. He tightly bound his main tree root. This was his fate. He had to protect it well. As for the one that was exposed, Lin Meng controlled it to rush into the ground. If anything happened, this ck tree root could be a very good weapon. The branch root alone was several times thicker than the branch. It must be several times stronger. At this moment, Lin Meng seemed to have noticed something. In the direction where Lin Meng was looking, in a dense forest not far away, a pair of red eyes were staring intently at Lin Meng''s body. He did not move. Lin Meng did not move at all. He even controlled countless branches to maintain their drooping state. The owner of the fiery red eyes, after struggling for half an hour, finally could not hold back his curiosity and slowly climbed out of the dense forest. "Red fox?" Lin Meng looked at the red-colored fox that was slowly approaching not far away with a deep vignce in its eyes. The red-colored fox, also known as the red fox, was widely distributed. It was mainly located in the northern hemisphere and was a rather cunning wild beast. It liked to move alone and hunt at night. It usually moved around at night and slept in the cave during the day. But now, the red fox was probably attracted by Lin Meng''s ruckus because the red fox''s hearing was very developed. Looking at the red fox, it felt that the other party was a little special. Its body was even bigger, at least a meter long. An average adult red fox''s body was only about 70 centimeters long. Moreover,pared to an average red fox, its eyes were even more strange as if there was a me burning. Very dazzling. Ta! Ta! Ta! The red fox''s four feet stepped on the ground, getting closer and closer. The red fox also became more and more cautious. Its body tensed up like a bow. However, the fatal temptation from afar made it difficult for it to stop. Yes, it was a fatal temptation. A faint fragrance made the blood in its body boil. Instinctively enving the red fox, it approached a strange willow tree in the distance. However, at this moment. This red fox did not notice that something was spreading towards it from the depths of the Earth. After a moment, as if sensing something, the red fox suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream. "Kyuu!" Its body jumped up in an instant. One would not know that with this jump, the red fox actually jumped four meters high. It was far beyond the standard of a normal red fox. However, unfortunately, everything was useless in front of Lin Meng. Crack! Along with the sound of the earth being torn apart, a ck tree root as thick as an arm spread out. In the next moment, the tree root rolled up. The entangled red fox let out a miserable cry. The tree root made the red fox bleed. Chapter 5: Period of Spiritual Energy Recovery Chapter 5: Period of Spiritual Energy Recovery "I used too much strength." Lin Meng observed the other party''s reaction and sensed his own strength. Usually, wild beasts, such as rabbits and green snakes, would be stabbed to death by the branches if they were within ten meters of him. As for the red fox, it was only due to its strange appearance that Lin Meng did not kill it. Otherwise, with the strength of his tree roots, which were several times stronger than the branches, he could have strangled the red fox to death in an instant. The bones were broken. The red fox was not dead yet. Lin Meng controlled the tree roots and brought the red fox''s body closer to his main body. Through the visual perception between the treetops, Lin Meng could clearly see the red fox''s ruby-like clear eyes. They were very beautiful. They were like the eyes of a fairy. However, at this moment, Lin Meng suddenly felt a daze, and then the tree roots loosened. "Not good." Lin Meng''s heart trembled as he realized something. It was indeed not good. Following his line of sight, he saw that the red fox, which had been tightly entangled by his tree roots, had alreadynded on the ground. At this moment, this red fox also propped itself up, wanting to escape. Unfortunately. He was really too close to Lin Meng. Within a ten-meter radius around Lin Meng''s body, he would definitely be killed. Swoosh! The branches shot out. With a piercing sound, a green whip shot towards the red fox. Then, without waiting for the red fox to react, another sound pierced through the air. If the red fox could speak, it would definitely curse. However, even if it could not speak, it looked at the dense branches in the sky that blocked its way. A hint of despair appeared on the red fox''s face. It even let out waves of sorrowful cries. "Kyuu kyuu!" The red fox''s cries were not pleasant to hear. The male''s cry was usually "gyoo gyoo," while the female''s was "kyuu kyuu." However, at this moment, this red fox''s cry had an additional tinge of sadness. It made people unable to help but feel sorrowful. Bang! Bang! Bang! Circles of white airwaves stopped one meter away from the red fox. The red fox was stunned. The airwaves were caused by the branches that stopped beside her. However, in her daze, a green branch had already slowly extended out and was approaching her. She was a little afraid. The red fox could not help but take half a step back. However, the suspended branches behind her were aimed at her like guns. She did not dare to take another step back. The red fox was stunned. She did not dare to resist. She realized how dangerous it was. It could even be said that her life was in the control of the branches. And just as the red fox was on guard and terrified... The branch that was slowly approachingnded on her head. He used a tender leaf to gently stroke her fur. "It feels pretty good." Lin Meng felt the softness of the branch and his heart skipped a beat. Not only did the fur of this red fox look beautiful, it felt as warm andfortable as a down jacket. However, looking at the red fox that was resisting but did not dare to resist, Lin Meng smiled. He did not have the intention to kill this red fox. Now that he had seen the peculiarity of this red fox with his own eyes, he couldn''t bear to do it. Fortunately, this red fox was smart and didn''t resist. Otherwise, Lin Meng wouldn''t mind beating it half to death and researching itter. As for now. He could try to tame it. Before he tamed it,Lin Meng seemed to have thought of something and fiddled with the branch. ng! As the branch broke, a drop of green liquid seeped out. This was some of the essence liquid that flowed in Lin Meng''s body. Looking at the injured red fox, Lin Meng nned to try using the essence liquid on the other party''s wound. If it was beneficial to the red fox, it would not be difficult to tame the red fox. If this essence liquid was highly toxic, then Lin Meng could only say it was a pity for the red fox. After all, this was just a whim of his. Momentster. Drip. The liquid that seeped out of the broken branch condensed into a drop and dripped onto the red fox''s head. Immediately after, under Lin Meng''s stunned gaze, the red fox''s entire body trembled slightly. Then, it lifted up, as if it had been stimted. Its entire body suddenly fell to the ground. "Quack!" The red fox let out a cry that sounded like a duck''s. Her sharp ws tore at the ground. Prickle, prickle. Deep trenches appeared on the ground. At this moment, Lin Meng noticed. The sharp ws of this red fox were extremely sharp. This made him feel incredulous. The body of this red fox was actually growing. How long had it been? The red fox''s body that was originally one meter long had already grown to more than one meter. She looked like a cheetah. However,pared to a cheetah, she looked more elegant. Her fur was as big as a me. Her pair of deep red eyes seemed to be burning with mes. It was very beautiful. "Is this evolution?" Lin Meng''s voice was slightly puzzled. He took a look at his broken branch. This branch had already withered and yellowed. It was no longer under his control. Lin Meng''s heart tightened. He understood. If he extracted the essence of the branch, it would affect his body. Fortunately, he only extracted one branch. Lin Meng guessed it. There was some essence flowing in his body, which might be the specific manifestation of the evolution point. After all, the greatest benefit of the evolution point was that Lin Meng couldpletely control his own body. Without evolution, Lin Meng''s branch could no longer be controlled. Although it could still sway slightly, it had already lost the power to break rocks. "Perhaps, time can allow this branch to recover." Lin Meng guessed. Half a dayter. A red fox, which wasparable to a calf, stuck out its tongue intimately and licked Lin Meng''s branch. This was an animal. They were subservient to their instincts and did not haveplex thoughts like humans. If you could treat it well and help it, it would be close to you. Now, because of some of the essence that could allow the red fox to evolve, the red fox surrendered. However, it was worth mentioning that this red fox seemed to be more than just a beast. Its red fur was like a me and it was even more mboyant. Its body wasparable to that of a calf. Not only was it strong but it also looked more powerful and beautiful. Moreover, more importantly, this red fox''s eyes seemed to be burning like mes. They were getting brighter and brighter. At this moment, Lin Meng seemed to have discovered something. Above the red fox''s head, a light screen like his attribute panel appeared. Race: Mutated Red fox. Level: Entry Rank 4. Special Ability: Eye of Enchantment - Gorgeous eyes are the most eminent jewels of the world, possessing the magical power of enchantment. "Level? Entry rank?" Looking at this brand new term, Lin Meng was a little puzzled. However, after a moment, he thought of something and pulled his consciousness onto himself. Race: Mutated Weeping Willow Lifespan: 0.4/100 years Evolution Point: 0.2 (Acquisition Methods: The first way is receiving sunlight and absorbing the unknown energy for extraction. The second method is to plunder other animals and nts for extraction.) Chapter 6: Life Essence Chapter 6: Life Essence Level: Entry Rank 9. Special Ability: Mutated Branch (50) - Like an arm, whipping like the wind. Mutated Tree Root (9) - A terrifying tree root like a ck python, it''s enough to strangle everything. Sure enough, he did not know that there was an additional level assessment. Moreover, it was entry rank 9. However, he could easily suppress the red fox, so it was reasonable that he was four levels higher than the red fox. And this "entry rank." Did It mean that in the future, his level evaluation would be 1st rank, 2nd rank... After thinking about it, Lin Meng was positive. If that was really the case, his level would be clear in the future. Wait a minute, something wasn''t right. Lin Meng''s heart tightened as he began to think. These phenomena were simr to the era of spiritual energy recovery, where everything was evolving toward the direction of transcendence. For example, this red fox, or his own willow tree. Also, recently, the golden eagle that was crouching in the sky was peeping at him from time to time. That eagle was also somewhat extraordinary. Lin Meng dared to sense something. Lifespan. He discovered that a normal willow tree only had a lifespan of a few decades. But his lifespan had reached a hundred years. A typical red fox had a lifespan of between 10 to 15 years. And this red fox had a lifespan of 30 years. Lin Meng thought for a moment. "This is true evolution, right?" "Not only does it be stronger but it also changes the essence of its life." ... At night. The moonlight shone on Lin Meng''s body. The entire willow tree was illuminated. Next to the trunk of the willow tree was a red fox the size of a calf. It let out a long howl from time to time. It was as if it was warning the surrounding animals that this was its territory. The long howl of the red fox disturbed Lin Meng''s rest. "You bastard." It gently swung its branches and whipped the red fox''s body. It let the naughty red fox be quiet for a while. However, the red fox was too naughty. It would howl from time to time or climb onto the body of the Forest Dragon and tease the group of young birds on the tree. Fortunately, the red fox was smart and knew that the eight peregrine falcons like Lin Meng could not be eaten. Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirping sounds came from the tree branch. He looked up. A few peregrine falcons poked their heads out from the nest and stared at the red fox under the tree vigntly. One of them even chirped at Lin Meng as if it wasining. "Okay. Okay, I got it." Lin Meng smiled. He used a branch to gently hit the red fox again. Not only did the red fox disturb Lin Meng''s rest, but it also scared the peregrine falcons. At this moment, Lin Meng looked at the red fox and the peregrine falcons and thought of something. He had used the essence on the red fox and the red fox had evolved to the size of a calf. If he used the essence on the peregrine falcon, could it also evolve like the Red Fox? The branch that had used the essence before did not seem to have much of an effect on his body. Only half a day had passed. The branch that he had used before had actually recovered more than half of its vitality. Even the leaves had turned a little greener. "Looks like this should be one of my innate abilities." "Just like the red fox''s innate ability, its gorgeous eyes have the ability to charm." After realizing this, Lin Meng looked at the attribute panel. As expected, in the special ability panel. There was an additional one. Life Essence -- The spiritual liquid that was nurtured in the body could elerate the rate of evolution of a species and could heal injuries. (However, too much is as bad as not enough. Too much will cause one''s own foundation to be exhausted.) Looking at this news, Lin Meng smiled. Was this the benefit of the system? As long as he was aware of it, the system would present more detailed information. Of course, if he wasn''t aware, the system wouldn''t remind him. This was like a person''s subjective consciousness. It existed objectively but you don''t notice it. ... "Life Essence?" Just the name of this special ability made Lin Meng realize its importance. It could speed up the evolution of species. Thinking about it, there were too many ways that could be used and it seemed that every aspect was abnormal. No wonder the red fox couldn''t help but walk towards him. As he was thinking, Lin Meng broke a branch. Crack! With a crisp sound, the branch broke. Green essence liquid flowed out from the broken part. "Kyu! Kyu!" The red fox below the tree suddenly became restless. Her eyes stared at the broken branch that Lin Meng had snapped. At the broken part, a drop of crystal clear green liquid condensed. "Go away, this isn''t yours." Lin Meng used other branches to push the red fox away. Then, he delivered the green essence liquid to the top of the bird''s nest. In the bird''s nest, there were eight peregrine falcons. They were all chicks. One drop should be enough. Lin Meng thought to himself. One drop for each of the eight chicks. They should be able to digest it. "Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!" The eight peregrine falcons looked at the drop of green essence liquid. They were also attracted by it. They were so excited that they wanted to jump out of the nest. One of them was pping its wings and iling. "It seems that this essence liquid is very attractive to animals." Lin Meng sighed. This was not good news for him. The more animals he attracted, the more dangerous he was. If life essence could elerate the evolution of animals, then humans should be able to do the same. In that case, Lin Meng began to have a headache. He had to speed up his training. At least, he had to be strong before the humans found him. Strong enough to guard this forest. Otherwise, he would be the prey of the humans. As for whether he could get along with the humans, Lin Meng had never thought about it. He knew one thing. Hope was not entrusted to others. Moreover, peaceful coexistence was built on mutual equality. And facing the high-tech weapons of the humans. Not only was Lin Meng a willow tree, more than half of the flora and fauna were not qualified to live in peace with the humans. And at this moment. The sharp cries of a few small birds woke Lin Meng up. He looked up. The green essence that dripped from the broken branches was divided into eight parts and dripped into the mouths of the eight peregrine falcons. "Chirp chirp chirp chirp!" Amidst the sharp cries, the bodies of the eight peregrine falcons shook slightly. Immediately after, their bodies grew rapidly. They were originally the size of a fist but now they had grown to the size of a pigeon. And... The most eye-catching part was their mouths. The mouth of a bird was called the beak. The beak of the bird was curved like an eagle''s beak. It looked extremely aggressive, faintly revealing its sharpness. As for their ws, they were separated into several parts. Ripp! With a gentle drag, the entire bird nest was split open by their sharp ws. However, at this moment. No one paid attention to the bird''s nest. Their gazes were all focused on the sky. This was because the eight peregrine falcons had already spread their wings and flew up. Boom! Boom! Boom! Their long and sharp wings trembled slightly. They stirred up a storm. A bright light shed in Lin Meng''s eyes. The eight peregrine falcons disappeared from Lin Meng''s eyes. "Oh my god, so fast?" Looking at the sky, they shot out like bullets. In the air the figures became smaller and smaller, bing eight ck spots. Chapter 7: Mutant Peregrine Falcons Chapter 7: Mutant Peregrine Falcons Lin Meng couldn''t help but reveal a shocked expression. So fast. It was really too fast. The average peregrine falcon''s flying speed was around 60 to 100 kilometers per hour. Only when it dived down at a 45 degree angle could its speed reach 386 kilometers per hour. But now, these eight mutant peregrine falcons had already reached a speed of 100 to 200 kilometers per hour just by flying horizontally. What kind of joke was this? This speed was a little terrifying. If they could fly so fast normally, then wouldn''t their diving speed be even faster? Lin Meng didn''t dare to imagine what kind of speed they would reach. And at this moment. "Ji! Ji!" It was as if an eagle was chirping. Its voice had an extreme prating power that could pierce one''s eardrums. At the moment of the cry. Boom! Boom! Boom! Eight streaks of light shed down from the sky. Fast. Incredibly fast. The speed was shocking to Lin Meng. Even though Lin Meng''s ability to capture the movement of things had increased by several levels, he could only see a ck shadow sh past in that instant. Then. Boom! Boom! Boom! A rock not far from Lin Meng. It shook continuously. Then, under Lin Meng''s stunned gaze, eight fist-sized holes appeared on that huge rock. This was... Looking carefully, through the hole, Lin Meng could even see the night sky behind the hole. It actually prated through. A three-meterrge boulder had beenpletely prated through. This kind of terrifying piercing ability was enough to pierce through a ten-centimeter steel te. "Ji! Ji!" Another few cries. From the back of the boulder, a few peregrine falcons swayed as they flew back. In the process of flying, they would asionally flutter their wings and shake off the dust on their bodies. It looked like it wasn''t easy for them to do this. "These little guys." Lin Meng looked at the eight peregrine falcons dotingly and stretched out eight branches. The peregrine falcons looked at the branches and let out a surprised cry. Then, they stood in the middle of the branches, enjoying Lin Meng''s touch. At this moment, Lin Meng also noticed the panel on the peregrine falcons'' heads. Race: Mutated Peregrine Falcons. Lifespan: 0.2/20 years. Level: Entry Rank 3. Innate Talent: Bullet Dive - It was faster than anything else, giving them unparalleled prative power. It was enough to tear through all defenses. (Note: The side effects are very scary. If one isn''t strong enough, before tearing the enemy apart, their bodies may not be able to withstand the burst of speed and they may crumble into powder.) Special Ability: None Terrifying. Especially the innate talent, although it was a bit like risking one''s life. However, this also made the peregrine falcons extremely precious. Perhaps this was the talent of the peregrine falcon species. No matter what, these peregrine falcons'' status in Lin Meng''s heart had risen in a straight line. They even had caught up to the mutated red fox beside them. In this era where everything was extraordinary and was advancing towards transcendence. These peregrine falcons and that mutated red fox were enough to be his right-hand men. Thinking of this, Lin Meng fiddled with his branches again. In a few breaths'' time. Lin Meng used his branches to shake off some leaves and then used the leaves to weave a huge bird''s nest. This was the bird nest that Lin Meng wove for the eight peregrine falcons. Once birds had a bird''s nest, they would settle down here, thus bing closer to Lin Meng. Only the red fox. Thinking of this, Lin Meng used the roots that were like giant ck snakes to pierce a ck hole in the ground. Rumble! Rumble! There was a huge vibration sound. This hole was the red fox''s nest. "Go!" Lin Meng used a branch to move the red fox''s head as he said with a smile. The red fox lived in the nest. The nest that he used tree roots to create was pretty good. At least, there were many tree roots that could upy the nest. It was good for heating. Moreover, Lin Meng could faintly sense that the unknown substances in the air around his tree roots seemed to be slightly denser. It should be that the root of the tree was mainly absorbing the unknown substance. Those wild beasts should have also absorbed the unknown substance in the air and continued to evolve. If that was really the case, the nest that he had created was just like a blessednd. It was extremely beneficial to the red fox. There was no reason for it not to like it. As expected. Not long after, as if it had discovered the benefits of the nest, the red fox actually did note out of the nest. ... In the blue sky, the sun was very dazzling. White clouds floated in the sky, floating like a small boat on the sea. At this time. In a deep canyon, a strange white mist rose up, as if it was a fairnd where Immortals lived in the sky. The tall trees that almost surpassed the clouds in the skypletely covered the light in the sky, and the bottom of the big trees were dark and damp. In the distance, the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time. Perhaps, this deep valley had entered a true barbaric era at some point in time. "Ji ji!" A cry sounded. The tranquility in the sky was pierced through. The white clouds in the sky were scattered by the sound. Looking up, it was a golden eagle that had rushed out of the clouds. However, the terrifying thing was that the wings of an ordinary golden eagle were only two to three meters long. However, the wings of this golden eagle were actually five meters long. In particr, the feathers all over his body were as bright as gold, causing Lin Meng''s heart to tremble even more. This... was real? Was this a beast that could exist in this world? "Is it here again?" Lin Meng looked at the sky and muttered. His gaze was solemn. A willow tree that was already about thirty meters tall was trembling all over and its branches were like a waterfall. Race: Mutated Golden Eagle. Lifespan: 2/60 years. Level: Entry Rank 7. Innate Talent: Screech - Its screeching was enough to pierce the eardrums and scare the prey. (Extremely terrifying talent. Unfortunately, its lethality to you is close to zero. After all, you are a willow tree.) Special Ability: Sharp ws - Its sharp ws were enough to tear through steel tes that were dozens of centimeters thick. Golden Wings - Wings that had been strengthened by evolution over and over again. Their hardness wasparable to alloy. This introduction was very detailed. It was so detailed that even Lin Meng, who had seen it several times, was shocked. In terms ofbat strength, this golden eagle had a very terrifying one. Without his existence, Lin Meng had no doubt that, many yearster, this canyon would have a real predator at the top of the food chain. One had to know that the golden eagle was known as the "leader of the birds of prey." After training, the golden eagle could chase wolves on the grasnd. Once, there was a terrifying record of a golden eagle catching fourteen wolves. From this, one could see how terrifying a bird of prey like the golden eagle was. And now, this golden eagle had gone through countless evolutions. God knew how terrifying it was. ording to Lin Meng''s guess, if it wasn''t for the terrifying aura he emitted, this golden eagle would have pounced on him long ago. ... Indeed, Lin Meng''s guess was right. As a predator at the top of the food chain, the golden eagle had long been the undisputed overlord of the entire canyon. Chapter 8: Lin Mengs Skills! Chapter 8: Lin Meng''s Skills! It was because he had unlocked a little bit of intelligence that he was able to achieve his current status. However, even though he was already powerful to this extent, when he looked at the strange willow tree on the ground... He could not help but have his pupils shrink into pinpricks, revealing a wary expression. In his eyes, Lin Meng was different from the other prey. Aura. Or rather, it was a kind of pressure. Animals and nts all had some kind of aura. Because of the recovery of spiritual energy, life was able to transition. This kind of aura, which could not be seen by the naked eye, was even more terrifying. Just like prey, some of their own aura had already reached one meter, and some had even spread to two or three meters. But Lin Meng was different. His aura had reached ten meters away. It could be said that within ten meters of his tree, it was within the range of his aura. And it was precisely because he could sense the auraor rather the pressurethat the golden eagle lingered in the sky and did not dare toe down. With his intelligence, although he could not sense the abnormality of the tree, his instinct was to seek benefits and avoid harm. However, even so, the fragrance that came from afar still made him stop his footsteps. Observe. Wait. As a predator, the golden eagle had enough patience. It was waiting for a suitable opportunity, an opportunity that could kill it in one strike. "Aren''t you going to jump down?" Lin Meng looked at the giant golden eagle hovering in the sky and muttered. It had to be said that the feeling of being stared at by such a predator at the top of the food chain was really ufortable. So much so that every time Lin Meng sensed the presence of the golden eagle, he would instinctively be on guard. Every branch seemed to be ready for action. It was not just Lin Meng. In the bird''s nest under Lin Meng''s branches. "Ji ji ji ji!" The sharp and continuous chirping stimted Lin Meng''s nerves. Peregrine falcon. This was a terrifying bird of prey. At this moment, it was also constantly chirping in the bird''s nest, looking nervous. Compared to the golden eagle, they were still slightly inferior. Not to mention, they had advanced to level three, which was four levels away from the golden eagle. The difference in levels could perhaps be made up by other methods. For example, the peregrine falcon and the others could deal with beasts of a higher level than them. However, it was absolutely difficult for them to deal with this "Overlord of the Air" - the golden eagle. After all, they were both birds of prey. The peregrine falcon''s advantage in the air and its terrifying speed would be insignificant in front of the golden eagle. At this moment, there was no need to mention the red fox. Although she had climbed out of the nest. When she saw the golden eagle hovering in the air, her body couldn''t help but tremble. The fox was only one of the golden eagle''s meals. "If that''s the case..." Looking at the golden eagle that was hovering a hundred meters in the sky, Lin Meng lost hisst bit of patience. Although he was originally a willow tree, Lin Meng could not bear the mental strain for such a long time. Thus, he naturally had to make a move. However, the prerequisite for making a move was to let the golden eaglee down. Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s thoughts couldn''t help but fly. Why couldn''t the golden eaglee down? Why did the golden eagle refuse to leave for a long time when it didn''te down? Question after question flipped through his mind. Before long, as if he had thought of something, Lin Meng suddenlyughed coldly. "It should be fear. As an animal, even if it has evolved, its intelligence must not be high. Thus, the only thing that can make it secretly spy on us is fear." "He''s afraid..." "And the target of fear is definitely not the peregrine falcon. The red fox is also unlikely. In that case, it''s only me." "But I didn''t disy too many abnormalities in front of him..." As he muttered to this point, Lin Meng''s heart suddenly sank. Because, until now, he had also thought of another possibility. Aura. The aura of a powerhouse. The aura that his main body emitted was so powerful that it made the golden eagle fear him. Thinking of this, Lin Meng also had a n in mind. Phew... After letting out a deep breath, Lin Meng''s main body also slowly rxed his pores. Trees could breathe. Lin Meng''s main body was no exception. However, by chance, Lin Meng discovered that he could freely control the tree''s breathing. In other words... He could hold his breath for as long as a human could. And what did holding his breath mean? ording to Lin Meng''s guesses, there should be hope to reduce the emission of some aura. Just like a martial art from his previous life: turtle breathing technique. "Haaa..." Taking another deep breath, Lin Meng decisively held his breath. Boom! The entire willow tree shook slightly. Immediately after, countless willow branches suddenly drooped down. For a moment, the entire willow tree seemed to be dead. At this moment, in the depths of the sky... "Kyakk..." Another ear-piercing screech sounded, and the giant golden eagle suddenly spread its wings. A human-like doubt shed in the depths of its eyes but the giant golden eagle slowly approached the willow tree on the ground. From what it could sense, the aura emitted by the willow tree suddenly became much weaker. Although it was still three to four meters away, this aura was insignificantpared to its seven meters. In other words, this ce seemed to have be a ce for it to hunt for food. However, what it did not understand was why the aura suddenly became weaker? The look of doubt shed past. However, the golden eagle didn''t probe further. A simple intelligence wouldn''t give it too much space to think. Compared to humans, its thinking was very simple and pure. Food was everything. But now, there wasn''t too much danger here and it was enough to hunt for food. Boom. With a p of its wings, the golden eagle turned into a mysterious arrow and charged over. However, at this moment, the giant golden eagle did not notice... Rumble... With a slight vibration, the soil under Lin Meng''s willow tree slowly broke apart. Following that, a ck tree root that was over ten meters long was exposed. Under Lin Meng''s control, the meandering tree root was like an arm. Rotate... With a barely noticeable murmur, the ck tree roots began to rotate slowly. At the same time, the end of the tree roots began to twist slowly until they formed a very sharp ''awl shape''. Looking up, it looked like a ck giant spear that was over ten meters long. However, at this moment, the ck giant spear had already twisted one circle after another. One could faintly hear the ''creak creak'' sounds of the tree roots as if it would break in the next second. Moreover, this was not a long spear. In order to ensure his death, Lin Meng had even used the other eight branches. In other words, a total of nine long spears were hidden around him. At this moment... Bang! A violent wind suddenly rose, blowing Lin Meng''s entire body until it could not stop shaking. The giant golden eagle swooped down. The wind that was wrapped in the wind was not too good for Lin Meng. However, it was precisely because the giant golden eagle''s momentum was so shocking that he did not notice that the giant ck spears on the ground were about to shoot out. "Kyakk..." With a hint of excitement, the giant golden eagle''s ws had already reached out. Immediately after, its entire body pounced towards Lin Meng''s main body. Chapter 9: Lin Meng Broke Through To Tier One Chapter 9: Lin Meng Broke Through To Tier One In Lin Meng''s field of vision, he could only see a ck shadow covering the sky. But at this moment, Lin Meng moved. He moved at a speed that surpassed people''s imaginations. Boom. Boom. Boom! Apanied by continuous air-piercing sounds, nine giant ck spears shot into the sky. "Kyakk..." As if sensing danger, the giant golden eagle''s body suddenly trembled. However, it had already raised its speed, so how could it stop just like that? With a "bang" sound, it pped its wings. It had no time to dodge, so it had already been ruthlessly stabbed by a huge ck spear. With a "ng" sound, fiery red sttered everywhere. When Lin Meng''s tree roots, which were as hard as steel, stabbed into the golden eagle''s wings, they actually set off a series of mes. "F*ck, it''s so hard?" Lin Meng eximed in his heart, feeling a little helpless. As expected of the golden wings that were evaluated by the system to be as hard as an alloy. There was nothing to say about its hardness. However, that was all that it could do. With a ruthless heart, the other eight giant ck spears pierced through the air and ruthlessly stabbed into the golden eagle''s body. The golden eagle''s wings were indeed unsolvable. However, there were no feathers covering the other areas. Lin Meng did not believe that they could have the same defense. As such, the other eight spears were more or less aimed at the golden eagle''s abdomen. This was the most vulnerable part of the bird of prey. "Kraaa..." The golden eagle''s shrill cry suddenly resounded throughout the entire valley. pping its wings, the golden eagle attempted to make a final struggle, allowing blood to spurt out from the wound, but its body was constantly being pulled back. However, how could Lin Meng, who had the determination to kill in one strike, let go of such an opportunity? Boom! With an explosive shout, the nine ck giant spears that had been distorted to a certain degree suddenly exploded with the power that they had umted previously. This was the principle of the ''twisting spring.'' It used the previous rotation to umte power. And when it pierced deep into the golden eagle''s body, it wouldpletely explode with power. In this way, it could also cause maximum secondary damage toward the golden eagle. Puchi! The giant ck spear that was spinning at an extreme speed brought out a shower of blood, Lin Meng, who didn''t have time to react, was even drenched in it. Ding! A crisp sound rang out, and a cold system notification sounded in his ears. Ding![You have killed a level seven mutated golden eagle. Evolution Points +70.] Ding![You have met the requirements for a Tier 1 evolution. Your current evolution points are 70/10. Do you wish to start the next phase of evolution?] Tier 1? Evolution? Lin Meng was pleasantly surprised as he realized something. Indeed, as he had guessed, there was a tier one,and from then on, if he had guessed correctly, there should be a tier two, a tier three, and so on. When he thought of this, Lin Meng nced at the golden eagle that had beenpletely pierced through the sky by the giant ck spear and had lost its life force. He felt slightly relieved. Then, he muttered in his heart... Confirm evolution. After saying this, Lin Meng suddenly felt a wave of energy surging into his body. This wave of energy was so turbulent and surging that Lin Meng''s entire body trembled the moment it rushed into his body. Bang! Bang! Amidst the rapid and short sound, Lin Meng''s bark continuously exploded. What was even more unbelievable was that his entire tree body continued to expand. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached the thickness of two people hugging each other. The thickness of two people hugging each other was not considered very thick. But the problem was that it had only been a few breaths. Moreover, the mutation was still continuing. Lin Meng could deeply feel that every inch of his body was continuously strengthening. The surging energy destroyed the cells and then the warm current once again repaired them. The repaired cells were even more powerful. Faintly, there was already a change in the nature of life. However, it was true that Lin Meng''s current evolution was a leap in his life. His branches continued to elongate as they bared their fangs and brandished their ws towards the sky. However, they became greener and greener. Faintly, there was a hint of starlight, just like the strengthened branches from before. However, at this moment, it was clearly visible even during the day. Looking from afar, at the bottom of the canyon, there was a giant tree that was twenty to thirty meters tall. It was flickering with starlight-like light. While the light was shining, its countless branches seemed to be rolling in the sky. In an instant, the entire canyon was illuminated by its own light. Birds and beasts flew up and the beasts trembled... In a trance, a true overlord of the canyon was rising. And in a ce that the world could not see, an even greater change was alsoing. Lin Meng''s countless ck tree roots were continuously spreading and growing rapidly. They dug into the soil as they turned it over, just like an Earth Dragon turning over its body. For a moment, gullies could be seen rising up from the ground of the entire canyon. However, this was only the branch roots. Lin Meng''s life rootthe main tree rootmade thergest headway. The main tree root continued to dig deeper into the ground. The hard rocks could not stop his footsteps. As the canyon shook, his main tree root only stopped when it was about a hundred meters underground. Boom. Lin Meng could clearly feel an icy chill when he touched it. "This is the underground river?" Lin Meng''s heart trembled slightly in his shock. However, in a moment, he could clearly sense that the countless small roots of the main tree root were tightly clinging onto the rocks like a spider web, and they had even covered about fifty meters. Immediately after, an even greater icy chill continued to surge over. It was not as simple as the underground river. Lin Meng could clearly feel the endless flow of unknown substances. Could this be the spirit river that contained arge number of unknown substances? Lin Meng''s heart trembled as he made a guess. It was a hundred meters deep underground and contained arge number of unknown substances. It was not unreasonable to say that it was the spirit river. However, this was not the time to care about these things. Because... Screech, screech, screech... Along with the screeching, the eight peregrine falcons that were entrenched in the bird''s nest that was the size of a basin in the canopy of the forest began to swell in the wind. It was as if Lin Meng''s evolution had affected them as well. However, that was also the case. Currently, Lin Meng was like a whirlpool with the tree as the center. A small ''spiritual energy'' storm had already appeared. As the gathering that was closest to Lin Meng, they naturally benefited greatly. Not only the peregrine falcons but the red fox under the tree had also begun a new round of transformation. Its sharp ws were lengthening bit by bit, and the fiery red eyes in the depths of its eyes were bing more and more beautiful... Its fur was also growing continuously, and it was faintly bing more and more enchanting. From afar, this red fox that was the size of a calf seemed to be bathing in mes. It was both divine and terrifying. "Awooo..." A long howl suddenly sounded in the canyon, This red fox that was bathed in mes jumped up andnded on a huge rock. Then, its cold eyes looked around the canyon as if it was on guard against something. On the other side. Awoo, awoo, awoo... Sharp howls sounded out. Eight peregrine falcons that were around 70 cm in length and had wingspans of one to two meters spread their wings and pounced into the sky. Screech. Another screech sounded in unison. It was as if it could pierce through gold and crack rocks. Even the canyon was shaken by it. The eight peregrine falcons were scattered in all directions. Their eyes were as cold as the eyes of an eagle as they endlessly searched every corner of the canyon. Chapter 10: Beast Tide Assault Chapter 10: Beast Tide Assault "This performance is not bad." "It''s not in vain for me to treat you so well." Seeing the reaction of the red fox and the peregrine falcon, Lin Meng smiled in relief. With such a protective behavior, it could be seen that Lin Meng''s recent efforts were not in vain. Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s mind slowly sank into his main body. Faintly, a deeper level of transformation gradually began. ... At this moment, at the entrance of the canyon. Da! Da! Da! The sound of human footsteps could be heard. The figures of two women appeared at the entrance of the canyon. Lin Meng had seen these two young women before. They were the two who had showered earlier. At this moment, Betty and her sister Julie''s faces were deathly pale. This was because their gazes were fixed on a certain spot in the canyon that was shrouded in white fog. They didn''t move their gazes away for a long time. "Sister, I''m not hallucinating, am I?" Their sister Julie tightened her clothes, not far from the King''s Canyon. In their line of sight, there was a five-meter-long golden eagle with blood flowing down its golden wings. One savage wound after another caused their pupils to contract. And, what was even more terrifying was... The nine ck spears pierced through the golden eagle''s body. That wasn''t right. That wasn''t a spear. That pitch-ck thing was a tree root. Julie fell silent. After a long time, she finally regained her senses and turned around to delude her sister Betty. She asked suspiciously, "Tree demon?" That''s right, tree demon. In ancient myths and legends, there was a story about trees cultivating to be demons. "I... don''t know!" Betty, who looked like a determined elder sister, shook her head. At this moment, she didn''t know what was going on either. Moreover, on her elder sister''s pale face, that terrified emotion exined her current state of mind. The two sisters had onlye together to take a bath. Who would have thought that they would encounter such a shocking thing here? A big golden eagle and a willow tree. The willow tree rose up and pierced the golden eagle. Oh, my god. Is this still the world they know? Or is it really like what is reported on TV? In the past month or two, the sisters have seen a lot of iprehensible news on TV. For example. In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, there was an undercurrent. A dark shadow swallowed a luxurious cruise ship. Another example was. A passenger ne in the sky was hit by a storm of ravens. Before it couldnd, it disappeared without a trace. Regarding this, even the two sisters who had walked out from the depths of the mountains could not believe it. Although the past one or two months were indeed somewhat mysterious, it was not to this extent. At most, some ferocious beasts would rush out of the forest. They would attack pedestrians. Many experts from all walks of life had volunteered to investigate these things. Of course, the most convincing thing about what these experts said was that. "There is an unknown substance in the air. It is the effect of this unknown substance that has caused the animals and nts in the world to mutate more or less." Recently, the "Theory of Extraordinary Rise" had begun to spread. It was also the "Coming of the Extraordinary Era" that some people imed. However, although the news was news, Betty did not believe a word of it. What a joke. They talked about "atheism" every day, but now there was an "Extraordinary Era"? However, although deep down, they did not believe in these things. The two sisters looked at the scene at the end of the canyon and their hearts wavered. Yes, they wavered. This really didn''t seem to be the era she was familiar with. The willow tree had be a spirit. The golden eagle was bloodthirsty. The survival of the fittest in the biological chain was disyed vividly in this canyon. "Sis... Sis..." Hearing her sister''s very uneasy voice, Betty grabbed her sister''s hand and swallowed her saliva. Then, sheforted her:"We''ll go back now." "Then, we''ll report to the vige chief." As she said this, Betty seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, a sh of light shed across her eyes as she said in surprise, "The vige chief seemed to have said that if anyone discovers any abnormal situation, they will be the first to report it. There will be corresponding rewards." Her sister nodded. "Okay!" But she didn''t say anything more. It wasn''t that she didn''t want to speak but, at this moment, her legs had already gone soft and there was a strange smelling from between her legs. "Gulp." Betty couldn''t help but swallow a mouthful and looked deeply at the willow trees in the valley. Then, she grabbed her younger sister''s hand and ran behind her without looking back. However, not long after they turned around and left. "Ah!" "Help!" A terrifying scream with a decibel high broke through the clouds. Lin Meng, who was resting in the canyon, was startled awake by this sound and frowned in confusion. "This is?" A momentter, the scene entered his eyes. Groups of ck shadows surged over from all directions like a tide. Among them, there was a ck wild boar that was as big as an adult cow with scarlet eyes. There was a green snake that was dozens of feet long that was like an arrow that was released from a bow. There were even packs of wolves with flickering green eyes and bees that were the most annoying to Lin Meng with buzzing sounds. Lin Meng immediately reacted. This was a beast tide. Of course, what caught Lin Meng''s attention the most was that a few hundred meters in front of the beast tide, two young girls were running wildly. The young girl''s hair was disheveled. At this moment, she was running with all her might, not caring about her disheveled hair at all. "Help!" "Is anyone there! Save us!" A scream that sounded like a pig being butchered echoed throughout the entire canyon. Her voice was almost hoarse as she cried. As she ran, she fell to the ground a few times. Her forehead was even bruised. Blood blurred the girl''s vision. The two sisters were in a terrible state. Before they could rush back to the vige, they felt the earth shake. When they ran to a huge rock and looked out, the two girls'' faces changed in fright. Flocks of birds and beasts seemed to have gone crazy as they rushed towards them. Without thinking, Betty and Julie ran away without looking back. During this period of time, their figures were in a sorry state and they fell down countless times. Their bodies were covered in bruises. Even their clothes were damaged. Large patches of their skin were exposed. However, they did not care about their clothes at all. ... At this moment, Lin Meng, who was in the canyon, heard a scream and was slightly stunned. He thought to himself, "Are they targeting me?" With a cold smile, Lin Meng shot out his branches one by one. However, he didn''t pay attention to the two familiar figures. Compared to these two women, Lin Meng''s attention waspletely focused on the beast tide. Thews of nature. Natural selection, Survival of the fittest. Chapter 11: Deadly Domain Chapter 11: Deadly Domain Only the things that made him feel threatened were worthy of Lin Meng''s attention. As for these two women. Sorry, Lin Meng couldn''t protect himself at this moment and didn''t have time to care about others. Swish! Swish! Swish! The willow branches flew in the air like the tentacles of an octopus. However, the power of the branches was extremely great. When they flipped in the air, they actually made a sharp sound of tearing through the air. At this moment, the truly terrifying thing was that while Lin Meng''s branches were pulling in the air, after a few breaths of time, they actually expanded from a dozen meters long to more than twenty meters long. "My innate talent is extremely powerful regenerationa terrifying talent that only belongs to nts. It can greatly increase the speed of regeneration. Even if these rtively weak parts of the branches are injured, they can still be instantly regenerated by the surging power in my body." However, if this natural talent was used effectively, it could greatly increase the speed of the growth of the branches. Thus, Lin Meng''s attack range would be increased to the maximum. Of course, as a price, Lin Meng''s regeneration ability would be weakened for a short period of time. However, this price didn''t matter to Lin Meng. He didn''t even mind using this talent multiple times to maximize the attack range. Lin Meng knew that he was indeed a fatal attraction to some animals. However, this didn''t mean that any animal would be able to catch Lin Meng''s attention. Looking at the beast tide charging towards him, Lin Meng sneered. As heughed, the entire willow tree''s branches swayed continuously. A dense killing intent had already slowly spread out. However, at this moment, as if sensing danger, the many wild beasts paused for a moment. "Roar!" "Roar!" Hiss Hiss... All sorts of strange cries were filled with endless uneasiness and impatience. Unfortunately,pared to uneasiness and impatience, the irresistible allure ultimately defeated their rationality. Even if they sensed danger, they were still blinded by their instincts. They continued to roar and run madly towards the willow tree. However, at that moment. Swoosh! A red phantom suddenly shed and disappeared. A momentter. sh! A ck wild boar the size of an adult cow had its skin split open and its flesh split aprt. The red fox''s body nimbly shed past its side, bringing with it a string of blood droplets that shed by like mes. In the next moment, the wild boar''s corpse fell heavily to the ground. The red fox licked the bloodstains on its sharp ws and slowly raised its eyes. Its body had once again bent into a bow, ready to be fired. It was ready to carry out a new round of hunting. ... "Hum, hum, hum..." A sharp cry pierced through the clouds. In the sky, streams of light that swooped down one after another entered the line of sight. It was Lin Meng''s peregrine falcons. Bang! Bang! Bang... Even if it did not use its full strength, its speed wasparable to that of a high-speed train. The impact brought by the dark night gave the peregrine falcon unparalleled lethality. In a moment, the heads of eight wild beasts that were sprinting over were pierced through. Their bodies knelt on the ground. The friction with the ground caused them to stop their sprinting bodies. Although the peregrine falcon bullets were very strong. They also had certain side effects. If they were within the range of the peregrine falcon, then their attacks would be very effective and terrifying. But if the opponent''s defensive ability exceeded the peregrine falcon''s attack power, the peregrine falcon would continue to attack the opponent. Until their master was no longer threatened. The loyalty of a raptor to its master was not just all talk. If necessary, they would not even mind sacrificing everything to protect their master. Lin Meng looked at everything. He couldn''t help but praise. "Good... good..." Sure enough, some animals were worth nurturing. As he thought of this, his countless branches rushed into the sky. Then. Swish! Swish! Swish... Countless branches instantly fell from the sky like raindrops. Prickle, prickle, prickle... One after another. They pierced through the wild beasts that were rushing over. Blood sttered everywhere. At the same time, a cold system notification sounded beside Lin Meng''s ears. Ding! "You killed a Sparrow. Evolution Points +0.1." Ding! "You killed a Bee. Evolution Points +0.1." Ding! "You killed a Mutated Sparrow. Evolution Points +1." His evolution points continued to umte. Lin Meng''s killing intent grew even stronger. As an existence that had undergone a transition in his life-level, his strengthening was not something that could be challenged. His status was even more unquestionable. The endless power within Lin Meng''s body was telling him that he was not an ordinary being. And these low-level life-forms were actually trying to take advantage of the fact that he had not consolidated his foundation to get a share. And they even wanted to eat him up? Ridiculous. This kind of behavior was unforgivable. It was rare for Lin Meng to be angry, which stimted Lin Meng''s potential. Rumble... Apanied by a terrifying tremor... It was as if a huge earthquake had been set off. The ground where Lin Meng had taken root was within a hundred meters of the center. It was either a cliff or a crevice... Countless tree roots surged out from within. The ck tree roots were like octopus tentacles. They moved wantonly and pped towards their surroundings. Bang. Bang. Bang... One sound after another. Dust rose into the air. It was as if the earth was wailing. Under the dust that filled the sky, one''s vision was obstructed. However, the blood stter could be clearly seen as it continued to spurt out. Facing Lin Meng''s tree roots that had evolved once again, these wild beasts were like ants on the ground, dying at the touch. It was just a tap from the branch root. A wild boar was hit deep into the ground. It was just a tap from the branch root. A mutated rat that silently swarmed over from the depths of the earth was brought up to the sky by the roots and pierced through its body. It couldn''t be any more dead. At this moment. The area within a hundred meters of Lin Meng became a forbidden area. The living were not allowed toe near, and those who came would die. Lin Meng felt very tired from continuously controlling the branches to kill the wild beasts. He couldn''t help but sigh. At the same time, Lin Meng also felt that his strength was fading and he had already used up more than half of it. Although the roots and branches used their strength at the same time and waved around, turning the area within 100 meters into a dead zone, the power was very shocking. However, he had just broken through and he hadn''tpletely digested his strength yet. If he had a few more bursts at this level, he probably would not be able to handle it. However, Lin Meng believed that ordinary tier 1 creatures were definitely not as terrifying as him. Not to mention that his evolution points had already strengthened his body once, just the fact that he was a willow tree alone was more than enough to ovee everything. nts were not like animals. It was very difficult for nts to give birth to wisdom. However, once nts gave birth to intelligence, their control over the local areas would be enough to be an overlord. Just like Lin Meng at this moment, if he did not move, he would be able to control the area within a few hundred meters. Whoever dared to offend him would die. Thinking of this, Lin Meng could not help but look at a mutated wild boar that was still struggling not far away. This wild boar was very big. Chapter 12: Trouble Chapter 12: Trouble From the looks of it, it was no smaller than an adult elephant. Moreover, the fur on its body was very thick, like iron, and its defense was very terrifying. Even so. Facing Lin Meng''s branches, it onlysted for a moment. "What a pity!" With a soft sigh, Lin Meng did not hold back. Lin Meng would not be merciful to these wild beasts that wanted to eat Lin Meng and rely on Lin Meng''s essence to evolve. Immediately, the branches fell together. Strangle! Kacha! The branches controlled it, and the roots that looked like ck pythons rushed out from the ground. The mutated wild boar''s body was crushed by the roots. It was crushed and turned into blood. The roots were so fast that the mutated wild boar did not have time to react. It only let out a regretful howl, "Ao..." In the next moment, the mutated wild boarpletely lost consciousness. It could not be any more dead. One had to admit that this wild boar''s defense was very strong. When Lin Meng killed it, he even used roots that were several times stronger than the branches. Looking at the mutated wild boar whose corpse was like a pile of mud, Lin Meng sneered, "Do you know that you are facing a real monster?" In the next moment. Ding! "You have killed a Level 5 Mutated Wild Boar. Evolution Points +50." ... 50 evolution points? Lin Meng thought for a moment and understood. Ordinary wild beasts were not worth much. At most, they were only worth a single digit of evolution points. Like bees. They were only worth 0.1 evolution points. However, these evolved wild beasts were different. The golden eagle from before had a total of 70 evolution points. This level 5 mutated wild boar also provided 50 evolution points. Although it was not certain that 1st rank would require 10 evolution points and, consequently, 2nd rank would require 20 evolution points. But Lin Meng still summarized the general information. As long as the strength of the mutant wild beast was strong, the more evolution points it could obtain. The evolution points that a level 5 mutant wild beast could provide should be between 10 digits. Of course, there was also the possibility of 100 digits. After thinking for a moment, Lin Meng put down the thought of studying evolution points. He looked at the battlefield again. The battlefield was a mess. Blood dyed the ground red. Countless broken figuresy dead on the ground. "Hu..." Lin Meng let out a deep breath, his expression slightly moved. Survival of the fittest, thew of nature. It would not be weakened because of the mutation of species. On the contrary, it would only be crueler and more primitive. Of course, there was one thing that was certain. Only by living to the end would there be a winner. Lin Meng pondered for a moment and put away his thoughts. Then, under Lin Meng''s control, the roots of the tree churned up the soil on the ground. Looking carefully, Lin Meng actually submerged the corpses on the ground into the depths of the earth. Only the corpses of the golden eagle and the mutated wild boar were left behind. "They are your food." Using a branch to gently touch the returning red fox and the eight peregrine falcons, Lin Meng gestured. As mutated wild beasts, the value of the golden eagle and the mutated wild boar was needless to say. Even if they were just corpses, they were still quite precious. Thus, it was also suitable to reward the red fox and peregrine falcons for their meritorious service in protecting their master. Of course, if they could not finish eating and eventually dposed, then Lin Meng would have tough. Most of them would be nutrients for his roots. The reason why Lin Meng turned the soil around on the battlefield was that he wanted to absorb the nutrients from these corpses. After all, in some ways, these were the best fertilizer. To Lin Meng himself, they were extremely beneficial. Willow trees were trees after all. However, it was worth mentioning that Lin Meng did not want the remains to be mixed with human corpses. As a human in his previous life, some of Lin Long''s ideas made him unable to ept humans as nutrients. That was no different from eating humans. Disgusting. Lin Meng''s heart was conflicted. Therefore, if humans were really dead, it would be best to die far away and not disgust him. Otherwise, he could only be like this... Following Lin Meng''s gaze, he saw that under the dozens of fallen branches, they were actually helping one creature after another. Among them, there were actually two humans. Previously, the two women actually did not manage to escape and were unintentionally tied up by Lin Meng''s branches. As for the others, they were some wild beasts that Lin Meng liked. They were either good-looking or had goodbat strength. Lin Meng liked them and did not kill them. As for these two women, it was really just a spur-of-the-moment idea. He thought that these two women might be affected by the battlefield... Then, without knowing it, Lin Meng might also absorb them as fertilizer... Just thinking about this made Lin Meng feel disgusted. In this way, he saved the two women decisively. "But what should I do with them?" Thinking of this, Lin Meng looked at the two women with aplicated expression. He was a person in his previous life, but he was a tree in this life. Although he didn''t mean to offend humans, he was still a little worried. Humans! After all, they were an extremely xenophobic race. Moreover, they had enough power to threaten Lin Meng. Before he had the ability to protect himself, Lin Meng would definitely die if he was exposed. Not to mention other things, just the missile wiping the area was something that the current Lin Meng could not handle, not to mention the various tricks that the humans had. As for whether the humans would coexist peacefully with Lin Meng? Thinking of this, Lin Meng could not help butugh at himself. If he had no value and had some ornamental qualities, he might even be able to go to a human zoo and be a public attraction. But, the problem was that his surging life essence could elerate the essence of the species! Just this alone, the humans wouldn''t let him off. Value was more than anything and benefits blinded people''s hearts. "Phew..." Letting out a deep breath, Lin Meng fell into a rare state of contemtion. This was definitely impossible. He did not believe in these two women, much less the human race. As for killing... There was a slight problem. Lin Meng had never killed anyone before. Although he did not show any mercy when killing wild beasts, it was because he had been influenced by his previous life. Moreover, these two women were only a potential threat at the moment. It was not to the extent of killing them. If he really killed these two women, then in the future, the name of the ''Killer Demonic Tree'' would be confirmed, and what awaited Lin Meng would definitely be a session of ''lumberjacks.'' "These two big problems." After hesitating for a long time, Lin Meng fiercely ridiculed. Killing or not killing was only a thought. But considering the trouble in the future, it wasn''t a matter of thought. The sun rose and set. The battle during the day shook the entire canyon. Even now, it hadn''tpletely subsided. From afar, one could still smell the thick scent of blood. At this moment, Lin Meng had a rare look of anticipation. Yes, anticipation. Looking carefully, his attributes panel hadpletely changed. Chapter 13: Hallucination Caused by the Fog of evolution Chapter 13: Hallucination Caused by the Fog of evolution Race: Mutated Willow Tree Title: Treant Lifespan: 0.4/200 years Evolution Points: 149 (Acquisition Methods: The first way is receiving sunlight and absorbing the unknown energy for extraction. The second method is to plunder other animals and nts for extraction.) Level: Tier 1 (A powerful existence whose level of life evolves and sublimates.) Innate Talent: Super RegenerationA terrifying talent unique to nts. It can greatly increase the regeneration speed. Even if the branches and other rtively weak parts are damaged, it can borrow the surging power in its body to instantly regenerate. (Evolvable.) Special Ability: Mutated Branches (50) - Like an arm, whipping like the wind. (Evolvable.) Mutated Tree Root (9) -- Like a ck python, the terrifying tree root was enough to kill everything. (Evolvable.) Life Essence -- The spiritual liquid nurtured in the body could speed up the evolution of a species and it''s enough to heal injuries. (If used too much, it would consume one''s own foundation.) Compared to the beginning, Lin Meng''s attribute panel was much richer. The most important thing was that he obtained more than 100 evolution points. Evolution points were extremely important to Lin Meng. That was because evolution points could not only determine the strength of his abilities but he could also choose to evolve. Choose the direction of evolution. This way, he could enrich his own methods. 1. Create a fog. The fog covered the canyon and used the willow leaves to create a fog. The range was from one kilometer to dozens of kilometers around his body. It could hide its body. 2. Hallucination. Simr to nt toxins, it could cause hallucinations. To a certain extent, it could confuse animals or humans. These two abilities were good choices for evolution. Without any hesitation, Lin Meng directly chose to evolve in these two directions. Ding! "Please confirm whether or not to spend 20 evolution points to activate the fog and hallucination abilities." The system''s voice sounded in Lin Meng''s ears. "That''s right, evolution." Lin Meng answered with certainty. In the next moment, Lin Meng''s body suddenly trembled. A warm current surged into his body. It was as if something was being released from his entire body. On every leaf, it was as if the pores of human skin were spreading gas and something was spreading out. Lin Meng waved his branches twice and the willow leaves trembled as well. As the leaves trembled, wisps of fog appeared. "Is this how the fog is released?" Lin Meng seemed to understand. After activating the fog ability, he did not need to activate it on his own. It could automatically spread out from the leaves. The fog that was activated was slowly spreading out. From tens of meters to hundreds of meters. And then to a kilometer. In the canyon, the thick mist gradually covered Lin Meng''s body. The thick mist made his vision blurry. If he looked in from the outside of the thick mist, he could only see within a meter. The effect of this thick mist was pretty good. Now that it was only a level 1 fog effect, it could passively release the fog all the time. Lin Meng thought that if this fog spread even faster, it could even create a foggy forbidden ground. It wouldpletely cover this mountain range. At this moment, Lin Meng had evolved another ability. Hallucination - It could confuse the senses of animals and humans to a certain extent. ording to Lin Meng''s knowledge, this hallucination ability was not strong and it was verymon in the animal and nt world. Just like some nts, they could secrete special liquids. Once a small animal was touched by this special liquid, it would be suppressed. It would cause dizziness or hallucination. What Lin Meng did not expect was that the willow tree could also cause hallucinations. Just as Lin Meng was thinking... He suddenly heard a sound. "Hum..." It was the cry of the peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon was just eating the carcass of the wild boar with the red fox. At this moment, it seemed to have discovered something. It pped its wings uneasily and flew into the sky. The peregrine falcon looked down from the sky with a hint of suspicion in its eyes. It was unknown whether it was a peregrine falcon but all eight peregrine falcons were the same. Moreover, the red fox also noticed some changes around its body and stopped eating. The red fox raised its head and looked around. Its eyes were filled with unease. Because a strange fog suddenly appeared in the familiar environment. This fog made the red fox feel puzzled. Because its master, the willow tree, had disappeared. It was still in the open space just a moment ago, but now, it had disappeared without a trace. The red fox entered a state of alert. Ta! Ta! Ta! It walked towards the ce where Lin Meng was previously. In the next moment, the red fox''s eyes burst out with a fiery red light. The red fox''s eyes had a special ability. At this moment, after activating the special ability, the red fox''s cautious attitude had retreated and was reced by rxation. It wasfort. Furthermore, she jumped up in surprise and let out a long howl. That was because she had once again seen her master''s true form. At this moment, Lin Meng had a smile on his face. He had seen the red fox''s actions. He did not expect that after activating her special ability, the red fox could actually see him. The hallucination ability allowed the red fox and the peregrine falcon, who were originally in the fog, to not feel anything unusual. Even if the fog was filled, they could still feel their master''s existence. But when Lin Meng activated the hallucination effect. They were confused. And, at this time, Lin Meng withdrew the hallucination effect in the fog. "Hum hum hum..." The peregrine falcons let out sounds of surprise. They flew towards Lin Meng. ... And at this time, Lin Meng heard some trivial sounds. There was also a woman''s moaning from beside him. He looked up. One of the two women who were tied up by the branches seemed to have woken up. The woman frowned and was rxing her body. "She''s finally awake." Lin Meng thought to himself. Then, just as the woman was about to wake up, Lin Meng went into the fog and enveloped the woman. Then, he would activate the hallucinogenic effect. The hallucinogenic effect needed a medium to activate. And the fog was the best medium to activate it. The fogbined with the hallucinogenic effect could create a perfect forbidden areathe Fog Canyon. Any creature that entered the Fog Canyon, if not allowed by Lin Meng, would die. At this moment, the woman, who was enveloped by the hallucinogenic fog, gradually fell into aa. She was half asleep and half awake. Lin Meng tried tomunicate with her. Because the fog could affect a person''s spirit, Lin Meng could use the effect of the fog to sense the thoughts in the woman''s mind. Thus, he could achieve the goal ofmunicating with her. Of course, this also required Lin Meng to understand humannguage. "Where are you from?" Lin Meng used the mist to send a message to the woman who had been hallucinated. "A small vige at the foot of the mountain..." The woman''s reply was very soft and her tone was not firm. It was as if she did not dare to confirm that she was from a mountain vige. Chapter 14: Enhancing Hallucinogenic Abilities. Able to Affect Human Perception Chapter 14: Enhancing Hallucinogenic Abilities. Able to Affect Human Perception This was the effect of being under hallucination. "Did something big happen recently?" "Something big?" The girl frowned slightly. She, who was already a little confused, now looked even more confused. "I mean, did anything strange happen recently?" Lin Meng reorganized hisnguage again, trying to make the girl understand hisnguage. "Something big?" The girl mumbled and pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking. "The theory of extraordinary rise has been very popr recently. I heard that the spiritual essence has recovered." "Also, a cruise ship and an airne seem to have been swallowed by a monster." "And there are many, many strange things..." The girl spoke slowly before speaking faster and faster, as if these things had a clear impression in her mind. As she spoke, the girl''s words suddenly stopped. There was a trace of doubt in her eyes. When Lin Meng saw this, he asked, "What else have you thought of?" At the same time, Lin Meng loosened his grip on the girl, pulling her closer to him. He needed to hear what the girl was saying clearly. "The vige seems to be moving." "ording to the vige officials, the country will develop new towns and move small viges deep in the mountains." "Moreover, the army seems to be expanding. During this period of time, many people in our vige have been recruited by the army." After hearing that, Lin Meng''s heart sank slightly. He guessed that the humans had started to be on guard. It seemed that the era of transcendence was reallying. As he thought about it, Lin Meng asked again, "Did you humans feel any changes in your bodies?" "Changes?" After hesitating for a moment, the woman said, "I saw on television some time ago that there was someone who could lift a ton of boulders." "Also, there was someone who was covered in mes and running on the streets." "And..." At this point, the woman''s tone paused for a moment as if she had thought of something. Then, she added. "However, they seemed to have disappeared." After hearing this, Lin Meng understood. He sighed in his heart, "They all disappeared? How ridiculous." If Lin Meng''s guess was right, these people had not disappeared. They had been recruited by the country. They had strange behaviors and powers that exceeded that of normal humans. They should be the first elites among humans to awaken their abilities. If they were recruited into the country, they would be the weapon of the country and be a killing machine. It sounded really nice, but they had disappeared... However, from the woman''s words, Lin Meng judged that the affinity between humans and spiritual energy should not be strong. One had to know that the golden eagle and mutated wild boar in the valley were abnormally strong because they were also nourished by spiritual energy in the air. However, such powerful mutated creatures were easily killed by Lin Meng. In terms of strength, they were not weak. ording to Lin Meng''s estimation, if the golden eagle and the mutated wild boar werepared to thebat strength of humans... The golden eagle was equivalent to a fighter jet in the sky. The mutated wild boar was equivalent to a tank onnd. Thinking about it, the evolution speed of humans was not as fast as that of animals. And Lin Meng''s evolution speed was even faster than that of animals. Thinking about this, Lin Meng was ready to deal with the two women. However, when he thought about the interrogation of the women just now, one of the two women kept saying that she wanted to return to the mountain vige and report the abnormal situation to the vige officials. This made Lin Meng cautious. Lin Meng thought for a while and knew that he could not kill the women here. If the woman died on the mountain and the vigers didn''t see the two girls for a few days, they would definitelye looking for him. At that time, he would be exposed. However, he couldn''t let these two go easily because they had been thinking of exposing him. Once he was exposed to the human eye, it wouldn''t be a good thing. Thinking of this, Lin Meng suddenly realized something. He said to the system. "I want to strengthen my hallucination ability again." After the hallucination ability was strengthened, the ability to control the mind of animals would be stronger. "Strengthening sessful!" "10 evolution points consumed." After the system''s voice fell. Lin Meng could clearly feel that the leaves on his branches had a slight change. The warm current flowed through again, and the leaves became even greener. As for the strengthening of special abilities, the amount of strengthening was uncertain. Some abilities consumed more. For example, hallucination consumed a total of 10 points. For some abilities, it consumed 5 points. Of course, there were also those that consumed more. The innate talent regeneration consumed a total of 50 points. Although Lin Meng had a lot of evolution points, he could not simply consume them. One evolution of hallucination was enough. Hallucination ability LVL 2. It could greatly affect the minds of animals and humans and even change their cognition. (It required arge amount of mental energy and time.) When this hallucination ability was strengthened to LVL 2, it could control people''s thoughts. If it was upgraded to LVL 9, it would probably be able to create a fake world from the mental level with just a thought. It was easy to enve others. This should be the peak of hallucination. Lin Meng thought about the terrifying ability of hallucination. After sessfully evolving hallucination, Lin Meng stared at the two women and sneered. "Hmph!" The next moment. A strange fragrance filled the air and spread out from the leaves. He clearly knew his hallucination ability. He directly applied it to the two women. The consumption of time and energy was not a problem for Lin Meng. As long as he could get rid of the two women in front of him, it was the most important thing. Right away, an unknown power enveloped the two women. Immediately after, the other party''s body trembled continuously. It was as if they were resisting. "It''s useless to resist." Lin Mengughed coldly. Immediately, the eyes of the two women suddenly became turbid. Some of their memories had been erased by Lin Meng. They definitely would not be able to remember anything about the canyon within a few days. After doing all this, Lin Meng controlled the branches and sent the two women out of the canyon. The two women fell into a daze for a while before they regained their consciousness. After they woke up, the women had indeed forgotten why they were here. The two girls were dressed in ragged clothes. "Sister, what happened?" Julie held her head and felt a splitting headache. She tried hard to recall what had happened just now, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember. "It seems like we fell off a cliff. We were lucky to not die." Her sister Betty shook her head and recalled. Both of them were a little confused. Seeing that the night was about to arrive, they didn''t hesitate anymore. They hurried down the mountain and headed back to the vige. If they didn''t return to the vige before nightfall, poisonous snakes and insects would appear in the valley. It was very dangerous. At this moment, Lin Meng looked at the other party''s back and waved his branches. Chapter 15: Strange Energy Body Chapter 15: Strange Energy Body Immediately, a peregrine falconnded on the branch. "Go, don''t disappoint me." The peregrine falcon received Lin Meng''s order and flew out. While flying out, it also picked up a tied green snake from the branch under Lin Meng''s main tree. The green snake''s normal size was one meter long and its width was only two thick. But this green snake was now two and a half meters long, and it looked very sturdy. Obviously, this was a mutated green snake. It had a deadly poison to humans. The peregrine falcon was the green snake''s natural enemy. At this time, it held the green snake''s body in its mouth and hovered in the sky, following the figures of the two women below. Time flew by. It was alreadyte at night. At this time, at the foot of the mountain not far from the canyon where Lin Meng was. In a vige that was very far away from the city. An experienced old man looked into the depths of the mountain with a worried expression. "Sigh!" The vige chief ced his hands behind his back and sighed helplessly. "How many times have I told these two girls not to go into the depths of the mountain? To not to go into the depths of the mountain! Why aren''t they listening?" Beside the vige chief, Old Li was also pping his thigh as he spoke in an angry and anxious manner. "I don''t know what to say. It''s not like these two little girls don''t know about the situation in the mountain recently. Two days ago, I saw a green snake the size of a millstone and it gave me quite a scare. Now, I don''t even dare to go into the depths of the mountain. They''re fine, they''re not afraid at all." "They haven''t returned yet. These two little girls are probably already..." The meaning in his words was very clear. He was saying that the two girls had already died at the mouth of the wild beast. One of the old men looked worried as he looked at the crowd and said, "Why don''t we... call the police?" "Call the police?" Listening to the discussion of the crowd, the vige chief''s expression was solemn. After pondering for a moment, he let out a long sigh. "Or..." However, before the vige chief could finish speaking. Someone interrupted the vige chief''s words and said in a pleasantly surprised tone, "Vige Chief, those two girls are back." "They''re back?" Hearing this, the vige chief excitedly pushed everyone aside and ran towards the vige entrance. A momentter, everyone gathered at the vige entrance. The muddy path at the vige entrance was overgrown with weeds. Two figures supporting each other slowly walked out from the darkness of the night. Before they reached the entrance of the vige, they heard excited shouts. "Grandpa, we''re back." "It''s good that you''re back. It''s good that you''re back." The vige chief waved at the two girls. His face was full of joy and relief. It was still the middle of the night when they returned from the depths of the mountains. This made the vige chief sigh in relief. He had thought that the two girls had died in the mountains. However, at this moment... Hum... In the night sky, a human figure could be seen with the naked eye. The ck figure''s body was very big. It spread its wings in the sky, reaching a length of one to two meters. That was the peregrine falcon. It was one of the birds of prey in the sky. At this moment, the peregrine falcon''s ws actually held a green snake. The green snake was not bigpared to the peregrine falcon, its entire body was like ink. The next moment, the peregrine falcon let out a light cry. "Hum..." It released its ws. Immediately after, the mutated green snake fell down from the darkness like a kite with a broken string. And not long after it fell. On the muddy path outside the vige. A scream was heard. "Ah...!" The scream was made by two girls. Two screams. Under the incredulous gazes of more than ten vigers, two girls who were about to return to the vige fell on the muddy path. "No..." "Girl... girl..." When the vige chief saw this situation, he ignored his old body and ran crazily toward the muddy path. ... The two girls should die in a few days. This was the venom of a mutated green snake, not an ordinary snake venom. In order topletely control these two uncontroble factors, Lin Meng had no choice but to choose the most reliable method. This way, he didn''t have to worry about his matter being exposed to the eyes of the humans. Even if the girls saw the vigers, they would be unable to remember anything about him because of his hallucinogenic fog. This way, he could extricate himself. After all, even if the two girls died, the vigers wouldn''t suspect that the willows in the mountains had killed them. After all, the vigers saw the green snake kill the girls with their own eyes. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be another typical case of "transforming beasts attacking humans." There was another detail. In order for the green snake to attack the girls as soon as possible, Lin Meng smeared some life essence liquid on the two girls. The life essence liquid would disappear with the passage of time. When tonight passed, the only clue on the girls would also disappear. "Tsk tsk!" Lin Mengughed in his heart. He couldn''t help but admire his own strategy and caution. In the human world, this should be considered a textbook murder. At night, it was very quiet. After Lin Meng finished off the two girls. He began to quietly experience the metamorphosis power brought about by stage one. To trees. Roots, stems, and leaves were the three core organs. And now. Lin Meng''s three organs each had their own unique uses. Leaves could create fog and even evolve into hallucinogenic effects to confuse others. Stems, which were Lin Meng''s branches, were like steel, flexible and tough. Of course, the most terrifying thing was the roots that went deep underground. The ck tree roots were like giant pythons, possessing terrifying strength and hardness that far exceeded the branches. It was terrifying. Just the strangling ability of the tree roots was enough to rival the lethality of several tier 1 giant pythons. With many abilities, Lin Meng had the capital to dominate the tier 1 creatures. Tier 1. It was a watershed. Below tier 1, there were nine levels to advance to the next level. It was the prelude to stepping into the extraordinary realm. It would slowly polish the body, allowing the body to adapt to the extraordinary power. Above tier 1, there were nine levels. The difficulty of advancing each level wasparable to ascending to the heavens. Lin Meng felt that he already had such terrifying power at tier 1. If he cultivated to tier 2, tier 3, or even tier 4, wouldn''t the entire be under his control? As he thought about this, Lin Meng''s heart was filled with anticipation. ... However, at this moment, Lin Meng suddenly felt that something strange was approaching him from the sky. Swish! Swish! Swish! He controlled his branches and shot straight up into the sky. In the sky, there was actually a shooting star that was emitting light. No, that wasn''t a shooting star. It was... A human figure that was emitting light and moving extremely fast was flying towards him from the horizon. Lin Meng controlled the branches and pierced through the figure. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! In the next moment, Lin Meng frowned. He was shocked. "He''s actually immune to physical attacks?" Other than the physical attacks from the branches and roots, Lin Meng''s attack ability was only the fog-induced hallucination. Fog-induced hallucination was not a physical attack. It was more of a confusion of perception. However, it was not very effective against this strange energy body. Chapter 16: Adoption of a Soul Chapter 16: Adoption of a Soul As the starlight approached, Lin Meng seemed to have discovered something. Even the branches of the tree could not help but tremble. He looked at the approaching starlight. Lin Meng was surprised to find that it was a familiar figure. Yes, it was a familiar human figure. From the moment Lin Meng woke up until now, he had only seen two human girls. Betty and Julie. One of the two women that he had spent a lot of effort to get rid of. However, at this moment, the figure that flew over was a little blurry and couldn''t be seen clearly. There was a weak light around its body. If it wasn''t for a familiar face, Lin Meng might not have been able to recognize it. "Energy body? Could this be..." Lin Meng looked at the body that was emitting light and seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, his eyes widened. Race: Human (Mutated Soul) Innate Talent: Immune to physical attacks. Ability: Spiritual Enhancement (Awakening) - One of the few spiritual abilities that could allow him to temporarily exist in the world after he died. Telepathy (Awakening)She did not know where but there was a simr soul that was connected to her. Lin Meng looked at the information that appeared above the head of this illusory shadow and could not help but be silent for a long time. Soul. Did even souls appear in this world? However, it was understandable if one thought about it carefully. This was the descent of the era of transcendence. The appearance of a soul was also understandable. And just as Lin Meng was thinking about it... Hu... A gust of wind blew. Lin Meng could clearly see that this streak of starlight suddenly started to sway. It was like the specks of light that were emitted by an injured firefly, swaying on the verge of copse. "She''s not afraid of physical attacks but she''s afraid of the wind?" Lin Meng looked at this scene and could not help but be puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, he understood that a soul would eventually dissipate. Rather than saying that she was afraid of the wind, it was more urate to say that the wind would elerate her dissipation. As for why she was not afraid of the wind that was brought about by Lin Meng''s branches, Lin Meng was not sure. Perhaps the wind at night had some strange power. Without thinking too deeply, the soul was still too far away for Lin Meng. If transcendence had broken his understanding, then the appearance of the soul had made him realize the other side of this world. And the other side of this world was far from what he could explore. At this moment, the swaying figure in the sky seemed to have noticed something and its body paused. Then, like a shooting star, it charged straight towards the ground. The direction it charged towards happened to be not far from Lin Meng''s body. Lin Meng was puzzled. What was she doing? Just as he was puzzled, Lin Meng''s expression suddenly changed. That was because he felt that there was something on one of his branch roots. Rumble... He lifted up the branch of the tree root and the earth shook. A ck tree root was exposed from the soil. At this moment, Lin Meng looked at the end of the ck tree root and was stunned to find a blurry figure of an illusory girl hugging the tree root tightly. It was as if she was hugging a beloved doll. Her face was filled withfort. At this moment, a system notification appeared. [Special Ability to Nourish the SoulAs one of the best mediums for the soul to stay in the world, your mutated tree root is the soul''s favorite. The tree can nourish the soul, nothing else is better than this.] Lin Meng sighed. His entire body was filled with treasures. He looked at the illusory girl who was hugging his ck tree root again, feeling a littleplicated. A tree could nourish the soul. Lin Meng was not unfamiliar with this concept. There was a divine tree called the "Soul Nurturing Tree." Wearing its branches on one''s body could nourish the soul and primordial spirit, slowly strengthening the spiritual sense. It could also host the soul, ensuring that the consciousness would not dissipate. As for his, Lin Meng''s tree root, although it did not have such an exaggerated effect, the effect of nourishing the soul should still be a little. However, what kind of situation was this now? He had made up his mind with great difficulty to get rid of these two girls but now, after they died, they actually came knocking on his door. Wait, dead? As if he had thought of something, Lin Meng was suddenly stunned. This was only a soul and they were sisters. In other words, the other woman wasn''t dead yet... Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s heart sank. This was not good news. One had to know that although his hallucinating ability could change a girl''s memories, it was not permanent. If something happened to her. It was possible for her memories to recover, and there was even a high chance of recovering her memories. "Phew..." Taking a deep breath, Lin Meng tried his best to calm himself down. At this moment, it was useless to be anxious. Moreover, it wasn''t impossible to salvage the situation now. His heart moved slightly. Hum. Hum. Hum... Apanied by a sharp cry, the mutated peregrine falcons that were entrenched on the trees spread their wings and flew up. If it was necessary. Lin Meng could send out the peregrine falcons. That way, he could salvage everything. However, if that was the case, the peregrine falcon might bepletely exposed. "Phew..." Lin Meng took a deep breath and fell into a rare moment of hesitation. However, at this moment, a very weak consciousness appeared in his heart. "Who am I?" "Where is this?" "Who are you?" The standard philosophy of three consecutive questions. This caused Lin Meng to be slightly stunned. Immediately after, looking at the illusory youngdy who had opened her eyes not far away but was filled with confusion, Lin Meng smiled. She should have lost her memory. No, to be more urate, it should be that her soul was iplete and she did not have many memories of when she was alive. However, this was also good. Sometimes, forgetting was also a good thing. And at this moment, as if he had thought of something, Lin Meng suddenly muttered, "Telepathy." Yes, telepathy. This was the special ability of this mutated soul. If there were no idents, this should be because she and the other girl were twins. The awakening of her spiritual ability allowed her to sense the situation of the other girl. If that was really the case... Thinking of this, Lin Meng couldn''t help butugh. It seemed that there was a better solution. ... At night. The moon shone in the canyon. A willow tree was in the depths of the fog-filled canyon. Under the willow tree, a ck root was exposed from the soil. And on that exposed root, there was an illusory figure coiled up. The figure was very small. It was like an elf. A palm-sized girl was curled up at the end of the root with her hands wrapped around her thighs. "Master, my senses are a little blurry." As she spoke, the girl raised her head and looked at the willow tree with a gaze filled with dependence. The dependence and closeness in the depths of the girl''s soul made her believe without reservation that the willow tree in front of her was everything to her. However, this should be the case. As a soul body, Betty''s soul had nowhere to be protected. If she lost Lin Meng, she wouldpletely disappear. Chapter 17: Soul Perception Chapter 17: Soul Perception If that was the case, it wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that Lin Meng was everything to her. "A little blurry?" After muttering to himself for a moment, Lin Meng suddenly pulled a branch to the top of the illusory girl''s head. Following that, the branch slowly broke off and some sparkling liquid seeped out from it. "I wonder if this essence will be of any use to you." Lin Meng wasn''t sure. After all, this wasn''t an animal but a soul. This was also the only method Lin Meng could use to help Betty. The reason why he helped Betty was because, after a short conversation, Lin Meng was shocked to discover that other than her name ringing out, everything else was nk. Her thoughts were like a nk piece of paper. And this happened to follow Lin Meng''s heart. Only a girl like this had the value to be nurtured. Drip... Just like dripping water, the essence liquid dripped onto the girl''s forehead. As the essence of life dripped down, Betty''s illusory body suddenly trembled. Following that, as if something miraculous had happened, her body became a little more corporeal. With a nce, one could even see her naked body. Of course, only Lin Meng could see her. For some reason, neither the red fox nor the peregrine falcon could see the girl. Instead, Lin Meng could see her with a nce. Was it because he had a wonderful connection with the girl? Perhaps. After all, the girl''s soul was now ced on his tree root, as long as he wanted to. He could even easily sense what the young girl was thinking. Suddenly, the young girl spoke. "Master, I saw it." Her voice was pleasantly surprised, like a child showing off his exam results, jumping up and down happily. "What did you see?" Hearing the young girl''s voice, Lin Meng also became spirited. This was not bad news. "I can''t say it." After a moment of silence, the young girl was a little embarrassed. She shook her head and continued to add, "However, I seem to be able to let master see it." As she spoke, the young girl''s eyes suddenly focused. Immediately after, an invisible force began to surge. And, at that moment, a corresponding image appeared in Lin Meng''s mind. In the image, it was a vige. He could faintly see many people crying. The image changed and Lin Meng saw two beds. On the bed, there were Betty and Julie. "Vige chief, don''t be sad. Betty shouldn''t be able to make it but Julie still has hope. She''s just fallen into aa." "Coma? She''s not just in aa. Her high fever hasn''t subsided until now. Haaa..." A blurry voice slowly sounded. When Lin Meng heard it, he felt slightly relieved. Just as he had expected, soul body Betty could sense her sister Julie''s movements. At this moment, a pleasantly surprised voice suddenly sounded: "Master, I realized that I can move." After remembering you, the scene in Lin Meng''s mind changed. A young girl lying on the bed with a pale face and low sweat suddenly trembled slightly. His sister Julie''s finger moved. "It moved, it moved. Vige Chief, Julie''s finger moved." An excited cry suddenly sounded in the room. Without waiting for Lin Meng to take a closer look, he felt the scene blur until it disappeared. ... At this moment, Lin Meng''s consciousness was pulled back to reality. He turned his gaze and looked at Betty who was not far away and still had her eyes closed. His gaze was somewhatplicated. Telepathy was a very special ability. It involved the soul. Even Lin Meng couldn''t figure it out. But now, it seemed that Betty could control her sister Julie''s body from afar. After all, the movement of Julie''s finger was controlled by Betty. Lin Meng saw a glimmer of hope at this moment. "I hope I didn''t make the wrong choice." Not long after, Betty woke up and shook her head. There was a tired look on her face. Lin Meng controlled the twig and gently ced it on top of her head as if he was caressing it. Although there was no feeling of touching it. However, Betty could not help but let out augh that sounded like a silver bell. "Master." "Yes." Nodding his head, Lin Meng instructed with a smile. "Cultivate well and practice your telepathic ability." As he spoke, Lin Meng reminded her again. "If you notice anything abnormal over there, remember to tell me." "Abnormal?" Betty was slightly stunned. "Yes, abnormal. For example, the body you''re controlling has awakened. Or, for example, there''s some strange personing..." At this point, Lin Meng didn''t say anything more. This girl was like a nk piece of paper. Her knowledge had decreased by a lot. He didn''t know anything at all. He didn''t care. In the future, after some time, he would be able to get used to it and it would be much better. At that time, Lin Meng could even train a decent helper. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that she could control her sister''s body from afar and obtain information about humans was the greatest help to Lin Meng. He didn''t believe in humans. But, Betty, he could believe in her. Since Betty existed because of him and had a parasitical rtionship with him. This was enough to win Lin Meng''s trust. As for whether Julie would wake up and tell others about Lin Meng''s existence. Lin Meng believed that it was impossible. After all, it shouldn''t be difficult for Betty, who had awakened her spiritual power, to rece Julie. Of course, there was no rush to rece Julie. Through the scene just now, Lin Meng discovered that Julie''s body was abnormal. There was strange energy surging in her body. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the awakening of her innate ability. And this kind of awakening would take at least ten days to half a month. And this time was enough for Lin Meng to nurture Betty. ... Time passed very quickly and, in the blink of an eye, half a night had passed. A bright morning glow appeared on the horizon, and the air was filled with a translucent white fog. At this time, Betty, who was still a little weak, had already hugged Lin Meng''s tree roots and slowly fell asleep. Her heart moved. As the earth shook, Lin Meng sank the ck tree roots into the earth. Betty was a soul, so Lin Meng didn''t know if she could see the sun. For safety, it was better to sink the root into the earth. Moreover, after a night of practice... Lin Meng was keenly aware that Betty''s soul was ced on his root, which was also good for him. He couldn''t tell where it was good. He felt a cool flow in the root, and even the weariness dissipated a lot. Limon smiled but did not care. Compared to these indescribable benefits, Betty was more of a conversation partner for Lin Meng. It seemed that he had not spoken to someone like this for a long time. This night had relieved a lot of his loneliness. However, the final thing could not be forgotten. Chapter 18: Domesticating Animals Chapter 18: Domesticating Animals Lin Meng turned his gaze to a branch not far away. There, one prey after another was tied up by his branch and hung in the air. A monkey with golden hair was very dazzling under the morning light. Its bright eyes were wide open. Unlike ordinary monkeys, this monkey was neither noisy nor loud. However, Lin Meng believed that... If it was not for his branches binding the monkey, it would definitely be the one making the most noise. After all, the spirituality in the little monkey''s eyes could not fool anyone. "A very smart monkey." He silently gave an evaluation in his heart. Lin Meng''s gaze moved along. Other than the monkey, there was a bison, a white crane, and four wolves. And... A crew-cut, white hair, and silver fur. This was the honey badger. When Lin Meng saw the honey badger, he was surprised. The honey badger also had a nickname, known as "crew-cut bro." It meant that life and death were indifferent and, if you didn''t like it, you would do something about it. It was also known as "Africa''s first brother." However, this guy was usually distributed in Africa, West Asia, and South Asia? Why did ite to the Maind? Could it be that the spiritual energy had recovered and this animal had begun to migrate? As he thought, Lin Meng looked at the honey badger up and down. It was 70 centimeters long and looked quite small and exquisite. He even looked cute and silly from his facial features. The top of his head was t, and his back was covered with ayer of white hair. He looked very much like the big brother of society who had a buzz cut and deliberately dyed his hair white. It was no wonder that some people called him "Brother Buzz Cut." This really lived up to his name. ... In an empty space in the canyon, several tree cages of different sizes were sitting around a thick willow tree. And in the tree cages, most of the animals were quietly crawling. However, what made people feel helpless was that... In one of the tree cages. The white-haired honey badger kept using its ws to dig at the ground. It had an aura that it would not stop until it dug through the ground. "How stubborn!" Lin Meng sighed and chose to ignore this stubborn honey badger. It had to be said that with the recovery of spiritual energy, even the animals had a little more spirituality. Just like the golden monkey, Lin Meng just put him down from the branch. He ran to Lin Meng''s side. Although the monkey''s round eyes kept rolling, the appearance of being tamed could not be faked. Not only the monkey was tamed. The bison with a crescent-like ck horn on its head also obediently stayed by Lin Meng''s side. But the honey badger was different. As the most difficult animal to domesticate, he used reality to tell Lin Meng what was called stubbornness. He had just put down the branch. He was like an arrow that had left the bow as he sprinted into the distance. Lin Meng was so angry that he directlyshed out with his whip. However, this guy was also stubborn. He would rather run away with Lin Meng''s whip. Even now, he was imprisoned in a tree cage made of branches by Lin Meng but he still did not give up on escaping. "You guys are still obedient." He turned his gaze to the other animals in the tree cage. Not to mention the honey badger, the other animals made Lin Meng very surprised. Especially that bison. Race: Mutated Bison. Lifespan: 4/30. Level: Entry Level 2. Innate Talent: Crescent-Shaped HornsThe most terrifying weapon is the fierce and extremely sharp horns, capable of tearing an enemy apart in an instant. Special Ability: Earth StompRaising its forelimbs, the terrifying power is enough to shake the Earth. Although this bison is only entry level 2. Its innate talent is really strong. One had to know that even the red fox that Lin Meng favored only had one special ability and the peregrine falcon had one innate talent. But this bison actually had both innate talent and special ability. One had to say, this talent made Lin Meng look forward to it. And here, what was worth mentioning was: Innate talent was an innate talent and it was a terrifying ability that could grow. The stronger one was, the more terrifying one''s innate talent would be. Just like the peregrine falcon''s innate talentthe bullet dive. It would constantly sublimate along with the peregrine falcon''s strength. In the future, it would be like a bolt of lightning and it was not impossible to eventually pierce through the enemy in an instant. As for special abilities, this was different. It was an ability that could only be developed by chance or by luck. If it was not trained, its strength would stop there. ... The red fox, the peregrine falcon, the bison, and this intelligent golden monkey could be nurtured. Lin Meng thought as he gently stroked the golden monkey''s head with a branch. As for the others, the white crane, the wolf, and the honey badger... Before he tamed them, it was not worth it for Lin Meng to expend his essence to nurture them. Moreover, Lin Meng''s patience was limited. If he failed to tame them a few times, Lin Meng did not mind killing them. He would turn them into his evolution points. One had to know that Lin Meng''s need for evolution points was extremely urgent. Lin Meng himself had so many abilities that were waiting to be strengthened and upgraded. New abilities were also waiting to be developed. Moreover, he still needed to use evolution points to reach the even more terrifying tier 2. Thinking of this, Lin Meng couldn''t help but feel a little excited. His current strength was already so powerful at tier 1. Then how terrifying would a tier 2 be? Right now, Lin Meng''s main body, the willow tree, was already 32 meters tall and its trunk diameter had reached one to two meters. Moreover, Lin Meng could feel that his growth speed was still elerating. Perhaps it was because he had awakened his innate talent, super regeneration. Lin Meng could feel that there was an endless stream of vitality in his body. If he did not consume it, this rich vitality would continue to elerate his growth. Until one day, the sky above Lin Meng''s willow tree blocked countless rays of sunlight and its roots extended for countless kilometers. Other than its body getting bigger... The most terrifying root in the world was even stronger than the bark. Just based on its current hardness. Putting everything else aside, it should be able to withstand a round of cannonballs being fired. If it couldn''t even withstand a cannonball, then it would be meaningless. The moment the humans discovered themselves, they would be finished. Cannonballs were only the mostmon type of human weapon. The truly terrifying weapons were rarely revealed by humans. For example, biological weapons, gic weapons, and the most terrifying mass destruction type weapons: nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs. Lin Meng clearly knew that before he had the ability to resist these weapons, he definitely couldn''t take the initiative to expose himself in front of the humans. That was tantamount to courting death. As a human, Lin Meng deeply understood the principle of caution. If the human race felt threatened by them, they would do anything to destroy them. If necessary, they would use nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs. Therefore, ying dirty and developing was the way to survive. Chapter 19: Mind Control Chapter 19: Mind Control He thought about it carefully. Lin Meng felt that not only had his body been strengthened in all aspects but his vision had also been strengthened. At the moment, Lin Meng''s vision could be separated from his body by at least 2,000 meters. At the same time, if he lifted the branches, he could even clearly see the ants on the ground from a height of hundreds of meters. Whether it was the range of his vision or the uracy of his vision, both had a qualitative improvement. If Lin Meng''s vision was fully opened, he could even call it "God''s perspective." He had an illusion that everything was under control. This was very terrifying. However, Lin Meng had to say that he was very satisfied with this effect. To him, the stronger the better. Speaking of which, it had to be said that the speed at which Lin Meng absorbed the spiritual energy in the air today was much faster than before. It was much faster than before. The speed at which Lin Meng absorbed the spiritual energy in the air now was several times faster than before. It was also because of such a terrifying speed at which spiritual energy was absorbed that Lin Meng''s various aspects were growing at an extremely fast speed, showing no signs of stopping. Of course, spiritual energy was only incidental to the extraordinary era and could elerate his evolution. What truly caught Lin Meng''s attention was his evolution points. As his golden finger, he could obtain evolution points from killing other animals as well as from sunlight. He could obtain evolution points by basking in the sun every day, just like the photosynthesis of nts. In the past, he could obtain 0.1 evolution points from sunlight every day. But now, this passive ability was increased tenfold. He could obtain 1 evolution point from the sun every day. In other words, even if Lin Meng didn''t kill other animals, his growth wouldn''t stop. At most, his speed would slow down a little. "If that''s the case, I really am God''s favored child." Lin Meng smiled and felt lucky. It was really a good thing to be able to catch up with such an era. Evolution. An evolution that never stopped. He knew that one day, he would be able to break away from the willow tree. As he was habitually fantasizing, the beautiful scene in his mind was suddenly interrupted by a voice. "Master, I seem to have be more powerful." Hearing the voice, Lin Meng looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw the other party''s body, Lin Meng could not help but narrow his eyes. "I think that you need to wear clothes." Lin Meng tried to organize his words as he awkwardly said. Although Betty, who was a soul, did not have a physical body, it was as if he was looking at a naked girl. "Clothes?" Betty blinked her eyes in a daze. Soon after, Betty hid in the shade under the branches of Lin Meng''s tree. She cupped her chin and began to ponder. When Lin Meng saw this, he secretly guessed that sunlight might not be able to hurt Betty. But Betty hated sunlight. After all, since Betty came out, she had been avoiding sunlight and flying in the dark. At this moment, Betty seemed to understand something and began to slowly turn around. Then, an inexplicable power began to surge. Not long after, a slender girl wearing a long white dress appeared in front of Lin Meng. "Mm, not bad." Lin Meng looked at her and nodded. Betty''s attire made her seem like a fairy that had descended to the mortal world. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, looking extremely beautiful. If it wasn''t for the cold aura that came with it, she would really be like an elf. Now was the great era of evolution and everything was progressing towards perfection. Naturally, Betty was the same. Perhaps, if she was given more time, Betty''s body would truly solidify. After all, Betty had the protection of a divine tree. Thinking of this, Lin Meng couldn''t help but show off again. Of course, Betty was wearing clothes, so Lin Meng''s regrets were also inevitable. Unfortunately, he was a tree. He could only watch but he couldn''t do anything. This was the most boring thing. Moreover, the current him wasn''t like humans and animals. He wasn''t affected by hormones, so he wouldn''t pay too much attention to girls. What he had was only praise for beauty. Especially when he first saw it, such kind of hazy beauty made Lin Meng''s eyes hot. At that time, Betty''s entire body was hazy, as if it was separated by ayer of gauze. It made people fantasize while being unable to touch. After thinking for a while. This palm-sized girl in a white dress had a starlight-like glow in the depths of her eyes. "Get up, get up quickly." Betty clenched her small fists as if she was cheering herself on. Betty''s gaze was fixed on a branch five meters away. In a moment, under Lin Meng''s surprised gaze, the branch began to shake. It trembled as if it was affected by some invisible force. Then, bit by bit. Bit by bit... The branch was affected by the invisible force and moved. It actually slowly rose into the air and was pulled up to more than a meter. "I did it, I did it." At a treetop in Lin Meng, Betty was so happy that she was jumping around like a child. She had indeed seeded. Lin Meng nodded and sighed in his heart. Her talent was not bad. Although her strength was very weak, the power that she disyed to interfere with reality was a very significant sess. In other words, other than the red fox, peregrine falcon, bison, and golden-haired monkey, Betty was also a pretty good seedling. Lin Meng smiled inwardly. Betty''s status had increased a lot in Lin Meng''s heart. Surprises were always short-lived. After savoring Betty''s power, Lin Meng began to get down to business. "Thick fog spread." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Meng''s special ability had already been activated. Boom... White fog spread out from around Lin Meng''s body. From afar, one could see a tall willow tree constantly emitting white fog. It was like a sauna. However, it had to be said that there was a big difference between active and instinctive activation. Just like now, under Lin Meng''s active activation, the white mist spread at an unimaginable speed. In less than half a day, the white mist had already spread to more than half of the canyon. The canyon was not very big, which saved Lin Meng a lot of time. "First, cover the canyon. Then, with the canyon as the center, slowly spread the white fog into the depths of the mountain." After having a goal, Lin Meng became more serious in his work. After all, this matter concerned his life and death. He had to be careful. And here, it was worth mentioning that the white fog that spread was controlled by Lin Meng to a certain extent. Not to mention that the control was very delicate. But Lin Meng could still control the general direction of the white fog. For example, he hoped that the white fog could cover the canyon so that the white fog would not run too far away. Moreover, the white fog also gave Lin Meng some perceptive ability. If there were some big movements in the valley, Lin Meng could also detect them with the help of the white fog. Chapter 20: Kingdom of Fog Chapter 20: Kingdom of Fog For example, the previous honey badger had already dug a four-meter-deep hole. This was not a small action. Lin Meng noticed it. The honey badger wanted to get out of the tree cage that trapped it. Unfortunately, the tree cage that paid attention to the honey badger was made from Lin Meng''s roots. From the bottom to the top, the deeper it was, the denser the roots. "If this honey badger can be tamed, not to mention itsbat strength, just its persistence and recklessness will be very valuable." Lin Meng made an evaluation in his heart. Then, he began to observe these animals. With the continuous evolution, these protective animals could no longer be treated as ordinary animals. Just like now, the golden monkey that was sitting on the treetops and asionally swinging on the swing. His intelligence should not be inferior to that of a seven or eight-year-old child. Moreover, his intelligence was still gradually increasing. In other words, in the future, some very powerful characters would appear among the mutated animals and nts. Of course, the strongest one would definitely be this willow tree. Lin Meng chuckled. He was somewhat looking forward to seeing the shocked expressions of those humans when they saw him in the future. A willow tree that was as intelligent as humans was terrifying to imagine. Most importantly, this willow tree knew how terrifying human nature was. It had been wary of humans since its development... The scariest thing is the unknown and I''m evolving in a direction that I don''t even know about. Thinking to himself, Lin Meng moved his evolution points once again. With the current speed at which the white fog was spreading, it was still far from meeting his needs. He had to use his evolution points to strengthen himself. Ding! "Dense fog shrouding ability increased. Evolution points consumed 10 points." Turning his gaze, Lin Meng looked at the leaf that had a special ability. Dense Fog Shrouding LV2 - Activating his main body to emit white fog, he could cover an area of dozens of kilometers or even 100 kilometers with himself as the center, concealing himself. At the same time, the white fog could reduce one''s vision and visibility was less than four to five meters. (The thick fog, which was activated by spiritual power, could hardly be blown away by the wind.) Looking at this enhanced ability, Lin Meng was stunned. Terrifying. It could only be described as terrifying. If this ability was activated in a city, it was enough to paralyze a city. One had to know that visibility was less than four to five meters. What kind of concept was that. That meant that when humans were driving, they did not have time to brake and would crash. The active lethality of the thick fog was not strong but the passive lethality was extremely strong. Needless to say, Lin Meng''s white fog could cover an area of 100 kilometers. There was another point that was even more terrifying. This thick fog was very difficult to blow away by the wind. With this ability, Lin Meng''s worries in the future would bepletely solved. This way, he would not have to worry about the thick fog that he had worked so hard to create being blown away by the man-made wind. ... "Hu..." He took a deep breath. Lin Meng was also a little excited. The current him had already seen a kind of hope. The Kingdom of Fog. A terrifying region that was covered in thick fog. There, the visibility was reduced by half. The human senses were weakened. There were also many ferocious mutated beasts that appeared in the white fog. Using the thick fog to create a kingdom, coupled with the hallucination ability, shouldn''t be a dream. After thinking about it carefully, Lin Meng was certain. As long as he was stronger, this goal would be easily achieved. At this moment, he raised his head and looked at a valley that was already covered by the thick fog. A blurry outline. Large trees appeared and disappeared in the white fog. It was extremely terrifying. Not to mention Lin Meng''s true body in the depths of the white fog. As the white fog spread, the wild beasts in the valley cried out uneasily. Wolf howls. Crane cries... The terrifying white fog had already made these wild beasts nervous. They were filled with fear towards the white fog. Lin Meng thought to himself, "Slowly get used to it." Lin Meng would not help these wild beasts disperse the thick fog. Now was the time for all living things to rise up. Life was constantly evolving. And these wild beasts and animals would also adapt to the thick fog faster. Lin Meng believed that it wouldn''t be long before they would evolve the ability to adapt to the thick fog. And when that time came, the thick fog would be their natural protective umbre. The beasts would also transform into the most terrifying hunters in the fog country. They would truly be existences at the top of the food chain. Just as Lin Meng was obsessed with the spread of the thick fog. In the country where the mountain was located, in a mysterious ce. A square-faced middle-aged soldier wearing a military uniform was sitting quietly in his office. Dang! Dang! Dang! There was a knock on the door. The middle-aged soldier frowned and sighed. "Come in." "Yes, sir." As soon as he finished speaking, a tired-looking young soldier hurriedly walked into the office. "Sir, recently, the mutated beast riots in our province have intensified and the incidents of people being injured have be more frequent." As he spoke, the young soldier spread out another map and pointed at the red circles that had just been drawn on the map. His tone was solemn. "The concentration of spirit energy in these few ces has be even more intense. Vaguely, there are mutated beasts that have grown up ande into being." "Is that so?" Looking at the solemn expression of the young soldier, Jack, the middle-aged soldier also sighed. This was not the first time that the concentration of spiritual energy had increased. Since the existence of spiritual energy had been confirmed, the country had discovered many times that the concentration of spiritual energy had increased abnormally. And such a situation also meant that a more powerful mutated beast might appear out of nowhere. And here, the most famous was none other than the "Penghu Incident." Penghu, a chain of inds on Earth. Since 1967, the number of air crashes in the Penghu Sea had reached 11. But such an astonishing record was broken in the past six months. In the past six months, the number of ne crashes had reached 17. The number of missing ships had reached 20. Such an astonishing record was enough to make the higher-ups uneasy. But, there was nothing they could do. Two months ago, the country had already proved that there was a group of terrifying mutated crows and mutated sea beasts lurking there. The mutated crows swallowed the ne. The mutated sea beasts swept away the ship. The two of them, one in the sky and the other in the sea, made the Penghu Sea area a forbidden area of death. And this was what the experts said, "As the powerful mutated beasts be more and more territorial, any creature that tries to intrude into their territory will be regarded as prey by them." And for humans, nes and ships that could make a loud noise were the most important targets. However, facing such mutated crows and sea monsters... The country didn''t have any good ways to deal with them. The mutated crows were fine. The country had already arranged special forces to snipe them, but the mutated sea monsters knew that they hadn''t found their specific location yet. The depths of the sea have always been a strange ce for humans. Chapter 21: Suspicious Areas Chapter 21: Suspicious Areas Especially now that the spiritual energy had recovered, the depths of the sea had be a forbidden area. One had to know that the first ce to recover spiritual energy was the sea. And now, in the depths of the sea, no one knew what kind of monsters were lurking. Shaking his head, the square-faced middle-aged soldier also looked helpless. Having been in the army for more than thirty years, this was the first time he felt that it was really troublesome. Fortunately, those major events were handled by the special forces. What he needed to do now was to supervise the ces with abnormal spiritual power in this province. If he found any abnormal situations or dangers, he had to nip it in the bud. After all, ording to the spection of some expertsalong with evolutionthese mutated beasts would most likely not be satisfied with their territory, so they would leave their territory and start hunting in the true sense of the word. At that time, it would be imaginable for the mutated beasts to attack the city. Thus, as the lieutenant-general guarding the area... The responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy. "Sort out the areas where the peak of spiritual power has exceeded 5000 and pass it to me." "Yes, sir." Nodding his head, the young soldier Jack took a look at the map. The corners of his eyes couldn''t help but twitch. Peak spiritual power exceeding 50,000... This time, the officer was probably going to be shocked. Peak spiritual power was a human standard for measuring the strength of spiritual power. Generally speaking, when the highest peak spiritual power exceeding 5,000, the probability of a mutated beast with peak spiritual power exceeding 5,000 was extremely high. Here, it was worth mentioning that creatures with peak spiritual power exceeding 1,000 were enough to threaten armed soldiers. Creatures with a peak spiritual power of more than 5,000 could even ignore bullets and other conventional weapons. Simply put, they were truly monsters with terrifying lethality. It wasn''t that the army or experts of the same level couldn''t fight against them. And once monsters of this level swarmed into the city, the disaster they would cause was also imaginable. As such, stopping or even killing creatures of this level was also the responsibility of this mysterious organization. After Jack handed the map to the square-faced middle-aged soldier, a cry of surprise rang out in the office. "What? There are eight ces with peak spiritual power exceeding five thousand?" "There''s another ce with peak spiritual power exceeding eighteen thousand? Are you kidding me? Are you sure it''s not a problem with the measuring instrument?" ... Jack''s face was solemn. "Sir, this is the result after several tests but we can''t rule out the possibility of a spirit river or a spirit mineing into being." "Phew..." Letting out a deep breath, the square-faced soldier looked at the young soldier and said with a wry smile, "Do you think spirit river or spirit mines are like cabbages? That they''re everywhere?" As he said that, his gaze slightly focused again. He took a deep look at the area that was as red as blood on the map. "Beiyu Canyon." It was located in the region of Sichuan Province, deep in the mountains. Not only was the traffic inconvenient but the mountain roads were also difficult to walk on. It was not surprising that a terrifying mutated beast had appeared. However, how terrifying would a mutated beast with a peak spiritual power of 18,000 be? ... Close to noon. Sunlight shone down from the clouds. It cast a huge light spot in the air. The dust floated in the empty space, moving like a slow-motion camera into countless tiny gxies, just like the tiny universe in the slides that they had seen in geography ss. And this was not an illusion. In this era of spiritual power recovery, the spiritual energy that was like the color of sunlight scattered by a prism filled the air. If one had a special mental ability, they would be able to catch some fluctuations of the spiritual energy or see the spiritual energy. As a tier 1 creature, Lin Meng could naturally see the spiritual energy. Lin Meng looked at the colorful spiritual energy in the sky, which looked like a dream, and couldn''t help but be in a daze. "It''s so beautiful!" With a smile, Lin Meng turned his gaze back to the canyon. At this moment, the entire canyon was covered in white fog. The fog rushed into the distance like a tide. "In a few days, this mountain will be my hunting ground." His words were filled with anticipation. Because he was the only person in the entire canyon, he did not hide his words. The rest were animals or souls. No one could understand his joy at this moment. The fog was his other pair of eyes. With the help of the fog, Lin Meng''s perception would have a qualitative improvement. Although it would not be so subtle that even ants could sense their movements, some big movements could still be detected. At that time, Lin Meng would truly be at ease. At least, when humans did not use missiles or intercontinental missiles, his safety would be guaranteed. In this way, he would have enough time to develop. Just as Lin Meng was deep in thought, a howl suddenly woke him up. He looked up. A few gray wolves that were locked in the tree cage propped themselves up one after another. "Howl, howl, howl..." The howls did not stop. A pair of green eyes flickered with a fierce light. Wolves were social animals. At night, in the open mountain wildernessin the quiet forestas long as there was a wolf howling, the rest would also stretch their necks and howl along. It made one''s whole body tremble with fear. And now, these gray wolves that were locked in the tree cage. They all bared their teeth and spat out long blood-red tongues, their gazes focused on the golden giant eagle''s corpse not far away. "Is it hungry?" Lin Meng guessed. After a moment, the branches slowly extended out, and with a twist, the branches reached into the tree cage. "Ao..." A howl. The wolf in the tree cage retreated and bent slightly. Its front legs extended forward and it was in a posture of charging upwards. Its eyes flickered with a fierce light as it firmly held onto the branch that Lin Meng had reached in. "You want to give it a try?" Lin Meng sneered. Even though he knew that the wolf could not hear him, Lin Meng still carried out the threat in his words. Like a human''s finger, he hooked it, very arrogant. "Ao..." Another howl. The wolf took a step back uneasily. It had seen the ferocity of this tree demon before. The reverence for the "powerful" in his bones made him hesitate. However. Gulp, gulp... The wolf''s stomach growled with hunger. The food in the distance was too tempting. Bang! Its hind legs shook the ground. The gray wolf jumped high, opened its bloody mouth, and fiercely bit down on Lin Meng''s branches. Pa! A branch fiercely hit down. The sound was clear and crisp. It sounded in the thick fog. In order to let the other animals see clearly, Lin Meng deliberately dispersed the thick fog beside the gray wolf. He saw that in the tree cage, a gray wolf was curled up in a corner, and couldn''t help but tremble. There was a blood-red whip mark on its body. The gray wolf''s eyes were filled with fear as it whimpered softly. At this moment, that branch slowly extended over... It approached it bit by bit until it was about to approach it. Out of instinct, the gray wolf bared its teeth. Chapter 22: Taming the Gray Wolf Chapter 22: Taming the Gray Wolf Swish! The branch suddenly elerated. It suddenlynded on its body. Only a "pa" sound could be heard. Once again, there was a bloody mark on the gray wolf''s body that could almost be seen as white bones. "Still... biting?" Lin Meng sneered and slowly moved the branch. Under Lin Meng''s threat, the gray wolf cowered. When the gray wolf faced Lin Meng''s branch again, it slowly lowered its head. "At least you know what you''re doing." As he said this, Lin Meng''s gaze turned. He did see the other animals, like the white crane and the other wolves. At this moment, they were abnormally quiet. They did not dare to make a sound. They seemed to have been stunned by the scene just now. "Looks like this method is not bad." The temperament of these animals was almost tempered. Now it was time to tame these animals. However, it seemed that the effect was not bad. While he was thinking, Lin Meng''s branch suddenly broke. Then, a drop of sparkling essence liquid seeped out from the cut of the branch. And when that wisp of essence liquid seeped out, the animals in the cages all opened their eyes. For example, the bison with ck horns. Had slowly propped itself up. Its forelimbs began to rub against the ground. On the other side, the golden monkey on the treetop screamed. It began to jump on the treetop. At the same time, the honey badger that had been desperately digging the ground also stopped moving. It slowly leaned out of the deep hole in the ground and its mouth could not help but start smacking. Lin Meng knew that his essence liquid was very attractive to these animals. Shaking the branch, Lin Meng did not drop it immediately. And this was the gray wolf, who was the closest to the essence liquid and was riddled with injuries. It could no longer resist the temptation in front of its eyes. It opened its mouth and directly bit over. Pa! The branch fiercely whipped. Before the gray wolf could react, his entire body flew more than a meter away and crashed into the tree cage. "Wu wu..." The gray wolf whimpered. He fell to the ground and tried to get up, but he staggered. His entire body went limp. At the same time, scarlet blood spread down from the wound. For a moment, the rich smell of blood almost covered the fragrance brought by the essence of life. "If I don''t give it to you, you are not allowed to take it." Lin Meng did not care whether the gray wolf could understand him or not. He spoke coldly. "Master... Master, aren''t you being too fierce?" At this moment, Betty, who was watching Lin Meng''s actions from not far away, was sitting on the treetop with her little feet up. There was some sympathy for the gray wolf in her words. "Fierce?" Lin Meng smiled. His mood recovered a little, then he shook the branch and exined,"Mutated animals are wild and hard to tameespecially wolves. They are very arrogant. If I wasn''t fierce..." Without waiting for Lin Meng to finish his words, he controlled the branch and fiercely whipped it in the air. The air was jerked, making an explosive sound. A momentter. With a bang, a huge rock was split into two halves by his branch, revealing a cut that was as smooth as a mirror. Immediately after, Lin Meng continued to speak, "If they aren''t fierce, there will only be one oue waiting for them." As he finished speaking. Lin Meng''s attention was once again drawn to the gray wolf that was sobbing softly not far away. However, it had to be said that after Lin Meng''s training for a while, this gray wolf was finally "sensible." Even if it was extremely hungry. With the temptation of the life essence, it also lowered its head and did not dare to raise its head to look. After all, Lin Meng''s whip was not something that could be easily withstood. One whip could crush the gray wolf''s bones. However, Lin Meng wanted to try to tame the gray wolf and did not want to kill it. After chuckling a few times, Lin Meng teased it a few more times. Fortunately. This gray wolf did not disappoint him. It was really "sensible." "It''s good that it''s sensible." As he said this, Lin Meng controlled the life essence to fall. Drip! The sound of water dripping. As the life essence dripped, the other animals widened their eyes. There were even a few who were anxious to rush up. But a momentter. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! As the tree roots and branches suddenly appeared in the air. The bison that rushed out of the tree cage came to a sudden stop, leaving a trail of two to three meters on the ground. The golden monkey, who had been impatient for a long time, rolled over and fell from the tree branch. It was also quite frightened. Animals were very simple. Even if they had intelligence, it was difficult for them, who had not undergone systematic training, to learn how to truly think in the first ce. Right now, they were like human infants. They were like a piece of white paper. Only after understanding this point did Lin Meng have the confidence to tame these animals. However, even if he had the confidence, he still had the confidence. However, if there was no improvement after several rounds of training, Lin Meng didn''t mind killing them. It would be a waste of time if they couldn''t be tamed. He might as well turn them into his evolution points. As he thought about this, one of Lin Meng''s branches had already reached the head of the honey badger. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A sonic boom sounded as the branches danced in the air above the honey badger. The honey badger was very smart. It shrunk its neck, not daring to fight head-on with Lin Meng''s branches. It was reckless. It was not stupid. Moreover, the reason why the honey badger was reckless was because of the structure of its eyes. It was somewhat like a goose. In its eyes,rge animals were almost the same size as it. Therefore, relying on its strong defense and its physique that was not afraid of poison, it was naturally reckless to the extreme. Just as Lin Meng was preparing to train the honey badger... On the other side, the gray wolf that was covered in wounds began to mutate after touching the life essence that Lin Meng had given it. It began to mutate. "Howl..." A wolf howl. The sound was thick. It was obvious that it was stronger. Following that, the gray wolf actually slowly propped itself up. Hu... The wind rose, and the wind that could be seen with the naked eye began to gather around it. In the blink of an eye, it was already enveloped in the green whirlwind. "This is?" Lin Meng revealed a rare look of puzzlement. After sizing it up, the gray wolf''s green fur had already begun to stand up in the green whirlwind. The color changed bit by bit. It was as if it had been assimted by the green wind. The color of its fur had actually turned green... Race: Mutated Gray Wolf. Level: Entry Level 5. Innate Talent: Wind Power - It was able to control the wind. It was the incarnation of the wind and it was also a true wolf of wind. "Wolf of Wind? Wind wolf?" Lin Meng guessed. He didn''t expect this gray wolf, no, this wind wolf would awaken the power of the "elements." Elements, a distant and unfamiliar word. Wind, fire, water, earth... The basic elements that formed the world. Lin Meng had also guessed that this was in the era of spiritual energy recovery. Someone could control the elements and then fight. But he hadn''t awakened simr elemental powers, so he didn''t think much about it. Chapter 23: Gray Wolf Mutated Into Wind Wolf Chapter 23: Gray Wolf Mutated Into Wind Wolf And now, this wind wolf satisfied his guess. "Wait a minute. My abilities, fog and hallucination, seem to be simr to controlling the elements." After thinking for a moment, Lin Meng reacted. Back then, he had used scientific evidence to exin his abilities of fog and hallucination. For example, the fog was emitted by his leaves. Just like how he could breathe in and out carbon dioxide and oxygen. The hallucination ability was that he could secrete special substances that affected the nerves of animals and even humans. But now that he thought about it, this exnation was a little unreliable. After all, he could breathe in and out carbon dioxide and oxygen but he could not control them. And he had the ability to control the fog. And his hallucinogenic ability could be artificially fabricated ording to his constitution. Such a strange and terrifying method really could not be exined by his "simple scientific theory." Cough! Lin Meng coughed dryly and tried to hide his embarrassment. But after a moment, he realized that no animals were paying attention to him. These guys now had their eyes wide open as they looked at the wind wolf howling at the sky in the wind. Compared to before, this wind wolf was two times bigger. It was almost the size of a bison. The wounds that were so deep that one could see the bones were unintentionally healed. Soft green fur was revealed. "Ao!" It howled at the sky. As if it could not hide the excitement in its heart, this gray wolf slowly opened its mouth. Immediately after, a ball of green air gathered in its mouth. Boom! It opened its mouth and spat out. A tiny green wind de flew out from the tree cage. It cut through the thick fog. "There''s something." Lin Mengughed mockingly and slowly raised the tree branch. However, before he could get close, the wind wolf seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around. Then, it looked at the tree branch vigntly and moved its feet slightly. Until he retreated to the edge of the tree cage. After he had nowhere to retreat to. He suddenly started to whimper softly, as if he was saying something. Then, his forelimbs went soft and his entire body seemed to be kneeling on the ground. Lin Meng blinked and thought to himself, this should be a sign of submission. He was somewhat uncertain. This was only his own guess. But after a moment, a voice suddenly came from the air. "Master, I heard the signal of ''submission'' from this green wolf." "You heard it?" He was slightly puzzled. Lin Meng''s gaze looked at the petite Betty. "Yes." Nodding, Betty covered her mouth andughed: "They seem to be trying to express something, but I can''t say it. With my spiritual power, I can barely hear that ''he seems to be expressing submission.''" "Is that so?" After muttering to himself for a moment, Lin Meng''s branches extended out tentatively. After a moment, Lin Meng nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the wind and waves that he was quietly enjoying with his branches. Good fellow, I''ve finally tamed him. He smiled. Lin Meng''s gaze shifted to the other animals. He did see the other three gray wolves slowly crawling down at this moment. They were facing Lin Meng''s main body, the willow tree. "The leader has submitted and the other gray wolves have submitted as well?" Lin Meng was a little speechless. There was a hint of surprise in his voice. Then, he sprinkled a few drops of life essence. It allowed the other three gray wolves to evolve as well. As Lin Meng was not as extraordinary as before, the concentration of his life essence was also a little more terrifying than before. Now, one drop could bepared to the previous ten drops. Therefore, in order to prevent these beasts from exploding due to the high concentration of life essence and the strong energy they carried. Lin Meng diluted the life essence. Of course, another benefit of this was that Lin Meng wouldn''t lose too much. He only needed one or two nights to make up for it. Moreover, it was worth mentioning that as Lin Meng grew, the number of branches grew more and more. Correspondingly, the amount of life essence that could be provided grew more and more. However, with this, Lin Meng''s need for evolution points increased even more. After all, new branches needed to be strengthened with evolution points. Although one branch didn''t need many evolution points. But it couldn''t handle the number. Based on the current speed of new branches, Lin Meng estimated that it wouldn''t be long before the tens of thousands of branches he had hoped for became a reality. At that time, the need for evolution points would be even greater. "Haaa." He sighed. Lin Meng looked at the remaining 92 evolution points and felt a little reluctant. However, no matter how reluctant he was, it couldn''t stop his determination to be stronger. Moreover, it was worth mentioning that the strengthening of his branch was now 0.5 evolution points. However, this was understandable. The toughness of his branch was far from what it couldpare to when it had just been strengthened. When he stepped into the first tier of transcendence, it was as if he had been baptized by spiritual energy. His entire body had been strengthened. The tenacity of the branches had increased by more than one level. And now, 0.5 evolution points was not a lot to make these new branches reach this level of tenacity. "With the increase in strength, the demand for resources is even more terrifying." Sighing inwardly, Lin Meng spent 52 evolution points to strengthen all the new branches. Swish! Swish! Swish! With a piercing sound. The new branches spread to the sky. The color was translucent. It looked very beautiful. For a moment, it made Lin Meng''s body look very beautiful. Unfortunately, Lin Meng was now hidden in the thick fog, so he couldn''t see clearly. However, he vaguely felt that the invisible pressure in the entire canyon seemed to be heavier. "I still have 40 evolution points. I''ll keep them for now, just in case I need them." After thinking for a while, Lin Meng put down the thought of using the remaining 40 evolution points. 40 evolution points was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either. As a unique golden finger that could freely choose to evolve, these 40 evolution points might be of great use at the crucial moment. For example, Lin Meng felt that he wascking in a certain aspect. He needed to use evolution points to develop it. With this, Lin Meng had an additional way out. Moreover, there was something worth mentioning. His ability hallucination and thick fog spread were both LVL 2. If he wanted to level up again, he needed 100 evolution points. This condition was a little terrifying. However, one could imagine how terrifying it would be if these abilities were to reach LVL 3. One would reap what one paid. In this aspect, the golden finger of evolution points had never let Lin Meng Down. At this moment. Rumble... Rumble... The sky suddenly rumbled with thunder. Following that, drizzle began to fall. The rain got heavier and heavier. In the blink of an eye, the whole valley was covered with the sound of rain. Chapter 24: Humans Enter the Mountains Chapter 24: Humans Enter the Mountains Only a few low cries would asionally ring out. "These little fellows." Looking at the animals that had be drenched in the tree cage, Lin Meng could not bear it. The branches twirled in the air. ck tree roots extended out from the soil. Looking up, he looked at the sky. He could see that the fine branches were woven into an umbre the size of a millstone. It was propped up above the bird''s nest. And below. Countless ck tree roots intertwined with each other like giant pythons. They turned into even thicker giant python tree roots and were slowly pulled onto the tree cage. They shielded the mutated beasts below from the heavy rain. "Ao, awoo, awoo..." The wind wolves squatted on the ground like huskies. They stuck out their red tongues and stared unblinkingly at the willow tree in the depths of the canyon. "Moo..." A cow''s cry reverberated in the canyon for a long time. The huge ck bull with crescent-shaped horns rubbed against the tree roots beside it. A human-like kindness actually appeared on its face. "The bull knows human nature. It''s really true." Seeing the bison''s actions, Lin Meng alsoughed. A momentter. Under his astonished gaze, the bison actually shook its head and walked out of the tree roots that were shielding him from the rain. Walking towards the curtain of rain. Before he knew it, the bison was out there. He heard a voice. As clear as a silver bell, ringing in the ear. "Master, hahaha, cows like rainy days. They like being caught in the rain." "Ah, right!" Suddenly remembered the habits of the buffalo, presumably this bison is not much different. It was a little awkward but Lin Meng didn''t take it too seriously. ... At this moment. At the foot of a mountain in the distance. A convoy that came from god knows where suddenly stopped in their tracks. Pushing open the door, a young soldier in a raincoat looked at the mountain that was shrouded in the fog and frowned slightly. "It''s raining and the fog is thick. It''s really not a good sign." "Exactly!" A bearded man got out of the car behind him. He was a regimentmander and received military orders this time. He followed this young soldier, Jack, to the mountain to survey. Although it didn''t say anything about the survey. But as an old soldier, how could he not guess it? For this, he specially prepared two machine guns and also brought four armor-piercing bullets in case of emergency. At this moment. The regimentmander looked at the puddle-filled soil and then looked at the hazy scene. The mountain that was shrouded in clouds and fog was gloomy and terrifying. He suggested, "Why don''t we find a ce to settle down first?" "This weather is not a good time to investigate." As he said that, he took out a map and pointed at a red circle on the map. He added, "There seems to be a vige not far from here. We should be able to spend a good night there." "Okay." Jack nodded in agreement. "That''s good too. You old people have a lot of experience in this matter. I won''t blindlymand." Hearing this, the regimentmander couldn''t help but shake his head and said half-jokingly, "That can''t be said like that. Our army emphasizes that the strong are respected, and as an extraordinaire..." Before he could finish speaking, the regimentmander looked at this young figure with a hint of envy in his eyes. Extraordinaire! That was something that ordinary people couldn''t be envious of. With the recovery of spirit qi, there would always be some people who were luckier than others. The adaptability of the body to spiritual energy was much greater than that of ordinary people. And this kind of person, once theypleted the awakening, would be given the title of "Extraordinaire." Of course. This kind of thing wasn''t publicized to the public at the moment. It was only spread in the military. It was even said that the country was sending people to wantonly recruit extraordinaires who had awakened among the people. And the person in front of him was an extraordinaire. Moreover, it was said that he was not an ordinary extraordinary individual. If that rumor was true, he should be the legendary first-generation... Shaking his head, the regimentmander suppressed the thoughts that rose in his heart. Immediately, he held the walkie-talkie andmanded: "Head north. We will head to a vige not far away to settle down." "Remember, don''t trouble the vigers too much. We are only spending the night. We will also gather some information." "Yes, Regiment Commander." "Regiment Commander, can we hunt and eat some roasted wild beast meatter?" ... In the midst of the replies, the entire convoy had already followed the mud that was full of puddles and slowly headed towards the depths of the dense fog. The small vige was not far. It was only half an hour''s journey from the convoy. However, due to the continuous rain, the mountain road was difficult to walk on. Halfway through the convoy, they had already stopped. Looking at the narrow soil not far away that could only allow one or two people to pass through, the regimentmander got off the carriage. He smiled bitterly and said, "This is a big mountain. The road is really difficult to walk on." Hearing the regimentmander''s exmation, Jack could not help but shake his head. Immediately, he nced at the convoy behind him. He instructed. "Leave a few people here to guard the convoy. The rest of you, follow me to the vige." "That''s fine." Nodding his head, the leader also began tomand the convoy. At this moment, as if recalling something, the leader suddenly shouted towards the convoy behind him: "Brothers, remember to bring your guns." "I say, Leader, do you really have to be so cautious? Those guns are not just any ordinary heavy guns." "Heavy?" His face darkened. The regimentmander looked at the young man who spoke and his tone became heavier. "It''s only heavy now. When you lose your lifeter, you will know what real heavy is." As he spoke, his face had already darkened. He walked alone to thest car of the convoy. He took out the iron suitcase. Inside it was a modified small armor-piercing bullet. It was specially made for mutated beasts. It was very difficult for tanks or even armored vehicles to enter a mountain like this. As such, man-made small armor-piercing bullets were also invented. However, considering the extremely terrifying recoil force that was enough to shatter a person''s arm, such weapons were usually used as ast resort. Most of them relied on ordinary guns and cannons. Of course, it was worth mentioning. Armor-piercing bullets that relied on the kic energy of the bullet to prate and destroy the target posed a huge threat to the mutant beast. One had to know. The strength of a normal mutant beast was its tough fur, able to ignore bullets and cannons. However, this armor-piercing bullet only needed one shot. It could tear apart the defense of the mutant beast and, at the same time, explode with a huge amount of kic energy. Then, it would shatter the mutated beast''s internal organs. Generally speaking, there weren''t many mutated beasts that could withstand such a terrifying weapon. Except for those few... As he thought of something, the captain''s face suddenly darkened. It wasn''t his first time participating in such a mission. Thest time was ten days ago. But that time... He couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. He suppressed the sadness in his heart. It had to be said that the mutated beasts were bing more and more dangerous to humans. Even if the army entered the mountains to encircle them, they would still be a little weak. And among them, there were a few that had already fallen into the forbidden zone, the hell of death. Chapter 25: Soul Fusion Chapter 25: Soul Fusion The gray sky and the pitter-patter of raindrops made the world seem to be covered in ayer of gray, blurring the vision of ordinary people. Ta, ta, ta... Heavy footsteps sounded in the rain. A group of more than a dozen people stepped on the muddy ground that was full of puddles and slowly came over. However, before they arrived, they heard the sounds of grief. "Granddaughter! Why did you leave so quickly?" "How are we going to survive if the white-haired person sends the ck-haired person away?" Hearing this extremely noisy but mournful voice, the young soldier in the lead, Jack, and the regimentmander looked at each other. Their expressions changed slightly. "Something has happened." As he said this, Jack suddenly nodded. Then, his right leg suddenly bent. Immediately after, a weak light wrapped around his legs. Boom! As the earth shook, sshing water three to four meters high, Jack rushed like an arrow towards a small vige not far away. Gulp. Looking at this inhuman operation, many soldiers who saw it for the first time swallowed their saliva. "Commander, this..." "Shut your mouth. Some things are not something that can be asked at this juncture." The regimentmander, who was already in a heavy mood, angrily rebuked. After that, he took a deep look at the figure that had already disappeared into the distance. Previously, if he was here, that brother would not have... With a bitter smile, the regimentmander helplessly shook his head. Then, he looked at the many new recruits behind him who had just entered the mountain and reminded them,"You guys, remember this. This time, you are here to temper yourselves. If you really encounter danger, I will tell you to scram. You guys should hurry up and run..." In this rare reminder, the leader''s mood became heavier and heavier. If he remembered correctly, there was a high possibility that a mutated beast with a peak spiritual power of 10,000 would appear in the ce they were inspecting this time, right? If there wasn''t one, it would be good. But if it really existed... Then they would really be in big trouble. One had to know that thest time they encountered a mutated beast, its peak spiritual power was only 6,000, and it was as terrifying as a monster, ughtering half of the team. Sigh... With a sigh, the bearded leader clenched his fist until it was covered in blood. However, at this moment, a person who was unknown to the team. In the depths of the mountain, suddenly, clouds and mist surged. It was as if a huge monster was slowly waking up. Boom! Apanied by a terrifying boom, a storm that could be seen with the naked eye had already risen. Countless dense fog entangled within. From afar, it really looked like a monster stirring up the clouds. "How could this be?" In a rare moment of disbelief, Lin Meng''s heart sank bit by bit. Humans... And not just any ordinary humans. The dense fog could enhance his senses. However, it was at the foot of the mountain after all. In order not to attract the attention of the vigers, Lin Meng had deliberately turned the dense fog into a thin fog. Even so, he was still able to sense the spiritual energy fluctuation that had just risen. With the help of the fog, Lin Meng was even more surprised to discover that it was actually a person. Yes, it was a person. The fog was his other pair of eyes. Although he could not see it clearly, Lin Meng was still able to see the outline of a human figure. It was about 1.78 meters tall. He was a little skinny, Although the spiritual energy fluctuation that had just erupted was only at level five or six of the entry rank. However, the meaning of his appearance here caused Lin Meng''s expression to change drastically. "Impossible." "Absolutely impossible." In his cold exnation, Lin Meng also firmly believed that it was impossible for humans to discover his existence. After all, of the two women who had witnessed his existence with their own eyes, one was already dead. The dead soul had coiled around his tree roots and attached itself to him. As for the other woman, she was under his control. Not to mention, she had yet to awaken. So what if she had awakened? Lin Meng had already ordered Betty to take advantage of that woman''sa to erase her memories. As an existence that had awakened her spiritual power, such a thing wasn''t difficult for Betty. Moreover, for the sake of convenience, she was also afraid of her memories being restored. Lin Meng''s death order hadpletely erased that woman''s memory. Even if she became an idiot, it did not matter. In other words, it was topletely destroy that woman''s spirit. And this was also one of the reasons why that woman had yet to awaken. It was not that she did not want to wake up but that it was difficult for her to wake up. Unless Betty took over her body from a distance, otherwiseeven if that woman woke upshe would only be brainless. "Betty, have you done what I asked you to do?" The cold voice was like a bone-piercing cold wind, causing Betty, who was sitting on the treetop and ying with a few peregrines, to shiver involuntarily. She had never heard such a cold voice before? She really had never heard such a cold voice before. Her master, who had always been kind and pleasant, actually showed such a cold attitude. Betty was stunned for a moment before she could react. However, her eyes could not help but sh with a trace of panic. Even her mouth was pouting as if she was about to cry. Seeing Betty like this, Lin Meng also sighed slightly. He realized that his tone was too heavy. Moreover, this was not the time to be angry. "Hu..." Letting out a deep breath, Lin Meng gathered his emotions and said gently, "I''m asking you, two days ago, I arranged for you to erase that girl''s memory. Did you do it?" "Yes, I did it." Nodding her head excitedly, Betty used her fingers to gesture frantically again. "Master, I followed your instructions and very seriously crushed her spirit bit by bit. In the end, that, that, even drilled into my body..." "Drilled into your body?" Slightly stunned, Lin Meng also revealed a stunned expression. "Yes, drilling into my body." Betty appeared to be a little girl who had someone discover her little secret. However, a momentter, she emphasized, "I didn''t want to. I really didn''t want to. However, when I crushed that illusory shadow, the fragment of that illusory shadow turned into streams of light and uncontrobly drilled into my body." As she spoke, Betty raised her arm and pointed. "Look, Master. My body seems to have solidified." He took a deep look at Betty''s arm. Indeed,pared to two days ago, Betty''s body had solidified again. When he looked over, he thought it was a real person. Did she absorb Julie''s soul? In this rare guess, Lin Meng''s expression was a little strange. As twins, it was understandable that Betty and Julie had a close connection. In other words, their souls could be said toe from the same source. In this way, their souls could theoretically fuse with each other, so the possibility of rejection was very low. As for the matter of the elder sister devouring the younger sister''s soul, there was no need to delve into it. After all, the real Betty was already dead and the Betty in front of him was only a mutated soul.
  1. Chinese saying when a child dies before the parent or older generation.
Chapter 26: Jack Was Shocked Chapter 26: Jack Was Shocked Apart from the simrity in appearance, she could be regarded as two different living beings. Moreover, ording to ancient legends, the dead souls would always return to the mortal world to take away their loved ones! If that was the case, this Betty had done something simr by ident. However, if what Betty said was true, then why did these extraordinary peoplee here? Because of him? From the current situation, the possibility was very small. After all, the only possibility of him leaking out was also eliminated. And at this moment, his gaze inadvertently nced at the little girl who was sitting on the treetop with an uneasy expression. Lin Meng''s eyes suddenly lit up. Since he couldn''t guess, couldn''t he ask? Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s branches shook, and a very rich drop of life essence seeped out. "Betty, eat it." Lin Meng sent this drop of life essence in front of the young girl. "Master, this..." Looking at this very precious green liquid, Betty didn''t want to eat it at first but she was a little afraid. After all, her master was so cold just now. "I need you to be stronger and help me do something. Don''t let me down, okay?" Hearing Lin Meng''s helpless voice, Betty suddenly shook and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, master. I won''t let you down." After saying that, Lin Meng had already sent the green liquid along with the branches into Betty''s mouth. Gulp. As if swallowing, Betty''s body suddenly shook. Boom... Along with the slight vibration of the air, an inexplicable force had already circted. At the same time, Betty''s body also expanded with the wind. In the blink of an eye, she had grown to a height of 1.6 meters and she seemed to have returned to her previous life. "Master..." There was another soft call but it carried a hint of coldness that did not belong to the human world. Race: Mutated Soul. Level: Entry Level 5. Talent: Immune to physical attacks. Ability: Spiritual Enhancementone of the few spiritual abilities. It was enough to allow her to stay for a short period of time after she died. At the same time, it could interfere with reality to a certain extent. Telepathythere was a simr flower somewhere that was connected to her telepathically. "Entry level 5? It''s two levels higher than before." Lin Meng muttered in his heart. His emotions were also somewhatplicated. As he had guessed, even if he gave Betty the life essence the second time, there would not be much of a breakthrough. If he had guessed correctly, advancing to level 5 should not be a small threshold. Unless he spared no expense to provide life essence, it would be difficult for him to help others breakthrough. However, on second thought, Lin Meng could understand. His life essence was already very heaven-defying. It could elerate the evolution of all living things. If there were really no restrictions, he would first have to consider his life and death. After all, covetous dreams had always been eyeing him. And now, it was only effective for low-level breakthroughs, which would make him a little safer. At this moment, in the vige at the foot of the mountain. There were green tiles, mud houses, and a corner of the roof that still had some water leaking. Drip, drip... One after another, the water dripped onto the ground, creating arge puddle of water. But at this moment, no one cared. "Old Man, don''t be anxious. Speak slowly." Sitting on a wooden chair, Jack looked at the old man whose hair had turned quite white not far away. His body was very straight. Sigh... He sighed again and wiped the corner of his moist eyes, the vige chief said bitterly, "My two poor granddaughters were attacked by a mutated green snake when they returned home in the middle of the night. One died from poison. She was just buried before you came and the other is still unconscious." As he said this, the vige chief could not help but choke up. "This..." Jack opened his mouth but he could not say anything. If you asked him to fight with the mutated beast, he would not even frown. But if you asked him tofort an old man who had lost a loved one, it would be a little difficult. And the thirty-something-year-old leader who followed Jack into the vige chief''s house had some experience after all. He stood up and walked to the old man. He patted the old man''s shoulder andforted him, "Old Man, I''m sorry for your loss." As he spoke, the leader seemed to have thought of something and asked again, "Kill that beast. If we don''t kill it, we''ll kill it tonight and make a toast to your granddaughter." "Kill it, kill it..." Nodding his head heavily, the old man''s wrinkled face finally squeezed out a smile. "The people of our vige beat that snake to death with a random stick." As he spoke, the old man seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly added, "But it was precisely because I swallowed that green snake''s gall that my other granddaughter has yet to wake up." "Gall?" Frowning, Jack was somewhat puzzled. "In the depths of the mountain, there is a saying: ''If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, take out its gall. It can be used to detoxify.''" As if he knew a little, the leader with a face full of stubble tilted his head and exined. However, the twitch at the corner of his mouth still revealed some of his thoughts. The snake galldder detoxified. No one knew which b*stard came up with this idea. Even the snake itself could be poisoned to death by its poison. How could its snake galldder detoxify the poison? If that was really the case, after a person was bitten by a poisonous snake, he would risk his life to kill the snake and eat its galldder. The poisonous snakes would probably have been extinct long ago. At this moment, as if he had seen through the group leader''s thoughts, the old man sobbed, "We also know that this is a folk prescription but, at that time, my granddaughter only had one breath and her entire body was still covered in green..." Before he could finish speaking, as if he had thought of something, the old man sobbed uncontrobly. "Haaa..." They looked at each other, and the group leader and Jack also sighed. At that time, no matter who it was, they would grab hold of thisst life-saving straw This was human nature and also within reason. "Old Man, why don''t you bring me to take a look?" At this time, looking at the sobbing old man, Jack also probed. "This..." Looking at Jack''s very young face, the vige chief was a little hesitant. "Don''t worry, Old Man, this guy is really powerful." As he spoke, the regimentmander with a face full of stubble said impolitely, "Don''t look at him just because he''s young. You should know that he''s my superior. If I wasn''t a few years older and he called me big brother, I would still have to greet him with a military salute at this time." "Uh..." The corners of his eyes twitched and the wrinkles between the old man''s brows squeezed together. However, after a moment, he took a deep look at Jack, who exuded a sense of righteousness. The old man also turned around and picked up his cigarette. He sighed and said, "You guys, it''s not easy for you to stay with us for a night and we still have to trouble you... haa..." As he spoke, the old man lifted his feet and walked toward the inner room. The inner room was not big and it was estimated to be more than twenty square meters. In addition to a table and a chair, there was also arge bed. And on the bed, there a young girlid down. Chapter 27: Julie Awakens Chapter 27: Julie Awakens She was not old, maybe about 17 or 18 years old. She looked quite clean and she was the kind of girl who one could bear to look at. The more he looked at her, the better she looked. However, her faintly pale face revealed a pained expression, as if she was enduring something. "This is my poor granddaughter. She has been unconscious for three days." As he spoke, the old man looked at the regimentmander and Jack who were walking over and pleaded, "Officers, if you have any solutions, please help me. Even if you have topensate me with this old bone, I will ept it." "Don''t, don''t..." Holding onto the old man, the regimentmander tactfully pulled the old man to the side. At this moment, if anyone had a solution, it would be this extraordinary person in front of him. Moreover, when he stepped into the room, the leader had already noticed Jack''s abnormality, as if he was shocked by something. At this moment, just as the leader had guessed, Jack''s heart could not stop shaking. "Awakening, it''s really awakening." Looking at the pale girl lying on the bed not far away, Jack lost hisposure for the first time. As an extraordinaire, Jack was not unfamiliar with awakening. Spiritual energy baptized the body and the soul resonated with it. In terms of performance, everyone was more or less different. Some peoplepleted the awakening while sleeping, while others suffered for three days and three nights Complete the awakening. And the girl in front of him was awakening... Her body was already wrapped in spiritual energy and the dreamlike spiritual energy seemed to be seeping into her body. Her body was squeezing desperately... At the same time, Jack also felt a surging heat waveing towards him. Fire elemental talent. With a murmur, Jack looked at the young girl with aplicated gaze. Elemental talent was one of the most terrifying extraordinary talents. And fire element was the most violent and destructive type of elemental talent. Until now, there were very few people in the entire country who could awaken such a talent. Even he himself had only awakened his body to strengthen it. Needless to say, Jack knew that he had really picked up a treasure this time. As for whether or not he could wake the girl up, that was not something he should consider. After all, if those old fellows from the research institute found out about this, they would probably go crazy and use all sorts of methods to wake the girl up. The dusk was slightly cold. The low and dpidated south room did not see any sunlight all year round. It was dark and damp, and the wall had long fallen off. The walls were uneven. At this moment, a moan suddenly broke the silence that seemed like death. Looking up, under Jack''s astonished gaze, the eyelids of the pale girl lying on the bed actually trembled slightly. "Eh, she won''t wake up, right?" His heart was slightly startled and Jack was also somewhat stunned. Before he could do anything, the girl had already woken up. This... didn''t this mean that this girl should be taken away by him? Thinking of this, Jack also took a step forward and took out a test tube from his military uniform that he kept close to his body. It was a spirit medicine that belonged solely to extraordinary people. After the painstaking research of those old people in the research institute, they were able to extract the spirit energy in the air. It could replenish the spiritual power of extraordinaires in a short period of time and, at the same time, it could promote the awakening of a person''s talent. However, this kind of good spiritual power potion was highly toxic to ordinary people. It was also at this moment that Jack urately determined that the girl in front of him was awakening. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have dared to take out this spiritual power potion. At that moment, in the depths of the canyon, a tall willow branch swayed and thick fog whistled, disying its power. "How is it now?" Lin Meng''s voice was solemn as he asked softly. "Master, it''s a sess." With her eyes tightly shut, she leaned against the willow tree trunk. A 1.67 m tall woman in a white dress smiled slightly. Then, she added, "I''ve already taken over her body. It''s just that I''m not used to it. I feel very stiff." "It''s fine." After consoling her, Lin Meng said with some satisfaction,"You should get used to her body for now. If nothing goes wrong, this group of humans will stay overnight in that small vige. This little bit of time is enough for you to ask around." "Hmm." Nodding slightly, the girl repeated what Lin Meng had told her earlier: "Three questions. The first is, why did theye here? The second is, how did they know about this ce? The third is, the current situation..." "Yes." Looking at the youngdy with satisfaction, Lin Meng also reminded her, "Remember, don''t ask around too much. It''s best if you ask around unintentionally. I believe that this shouldn''t be difficult for you." "Hehe." The young girl smiled mischievously but she didn''t say much. Compared to before, she had already reached level 5. Although her strength didn''t increase qualitatively, she had more spirituality. Thinking about it, she must have absorbed her younger sister''s soul and made up for her ownck to a certain extent. The night was very heavy. In a fire pit at the vige chief''s house, several people were sitting together. Not far away, there were people chatting in groups of two or three. Meanwhile, the vige chief''s family and some vigers were preparing supper in the kitchen to entertain the soldiers who hade from afar. They had not even had a bite of hot food. Although these soldiers had the intention to refuse, they could not withstand the vigers'' enthusiasm. Not to mention, their superior seemed to have unintentionally awakened the vige chief''s little granddaughter. This made the vigers very grateful. They even took out the preserved meat that was prepared for the New Year. At this moment, beside the bonfire, there was a young girl with long ck hair and a very beautiful face. Her eyes were very clear, so clean that there were no impurities. Her name was Julie, the vige chief''s second granddaughter. She was also a girl who had been in aa and had not woken up for a long time. However, just now, because of some unknown reason, she woke up. However, what was surprising was that she actually seemed to have lost her memory, and did not even recognize the vige chief. However, this did not affect the joy of the vige chief and the others. "It''s good that you''re awake. It''s good that you''re awake." Wiping the corner of his eyes, the vige chief looked at his little granddaughter sitting not far away with a doting expression. This was hisst hope. To be able to wake up was already a blessing. As for amnesia, there was no harm in it. The current vige chief did not dare to ask for more. At this moment, Jack, who was sitting beside the bonfire, looked at the young girl not far away. His eyes could not help but flicker. Especially when he looked into the depths of the young girl''s eyes. There was a cluster of sparks that asionally shed and disappeared. Jack let out a deep breath. This was the sign of an elemental talent awakening. In other words, this young girl had really awakened a rare fire elemental talent. He didn''t know if it was because of the young girl''s talent or because of that snake gall. But there was one thing that didn''t need to be doubted. Jack had already taken a fancy to this little girl. He was even prepared to rmend her to that ce. Thinking of this, Jack looked at the vige chief and spoke again: "Vige Chief, I wonder if you have considered the matter I mentioned to you just now?" Chapter 28: Entering the Mountains Chapter 28: Entering the Mountains Hearing Jack''s words, the tobo pipe in the vige chief''s hand trembled slightly. He then sighed. "Although I want to refuse, it might be better for Julie to go with you." Hearing this, Jack''s face was excited. He patted his chest and promised, "Vige Chief, don''t worry, Julie. I''ve already treated her as my own sister." "I will definitely ensure her safety." As he said this, Jack added,"Also, I promise that I will definitely ask the best to cure little sister Julie''s amnesia." "Okay." Nodding his head, a satisfied look appeared on the vige chief''s face. He did not care about anything else but the attitude of this young man made him very concerned. It had to be said that this young man was really outstanding. His behavior was very polite and he spoke with great respect for his elders. Even when he came to the depths of the mountain, he didn''t show any signs of disdain. Just this point alone made this young man worthy of his trust. And at this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation. "That, why did youe here?" With an innocent look in her eyes, the girl sitting at the side suddenly asked. "What could have happened? It was the appearance of mutated beasts that disturbed people''s safety. We came here to do some investigations." She smiled and waved at the leader with a face full of stubble, He liked this girl named Julie very much. It was rare for the little girl to ask, so he naturally opened his mouth and replied. "Oh..." The girl dragged out her voice and seemed to be in deep thought. After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to ask again, "Mutated beasts, are they those monsters? "Right, how did you know that there were mutated beasts here?" "This..." The leader opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. But after a moment, he looked around and decisively shut his mouth again. Although this was not a secret, it did not seem like it was something that these vigers should know. "Is it hard to say?" She lowered her head slightly and her voice became softer. "Uh..." The leader was stunned. Jack, who was at the side, also shook his head helplessly and looked at Julie, who he did not see as his sister. He smiled and replied, "There is nothing hard to say." He pointed to the sky and said, "The spiritual satellite detected an unusual spiritual fluctuation here, so my superior sent us here to take a look." Jack looked at the vige chief and reminded him: "Right, Vige Chief, you should move out of the mountain as soon as possible. The mountain is no longer suitable for humans to live in." ... In the depths of the canyon. Lin Meng slowly raised his head and looked at the vast night sky. He muttered to himself, "Spiritual energy satellite monitoring..." The thick fog could not block Lin Meng''s gaze. He did not expect that satellites could be his problem. Humans had actually developed a device to detect spiritual energy. They even used this device as a satellite,unching it into outer space. Lin Meng felt a little helpless. Lin Meng had no choice in this matter. If it was possible, he even wanted to use his branches to pierce through the sky and shoot down the satellite in outer space. However, not to mention shooting into outer space, he couldn''t even touch the sky. All he could do was wait. Wait for the humans to find him. Then, they would transport him back to a secret base of the humans. If he was lucky, they wouldn''t need to slice him up and study him... It would only produce the essence of life every day. Of course, if he was unlucky, they would cut off Lin Meng''s limbs and study it in depth. Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s heart sank slightly. Helpless. He was really helpless. Facing the sudden spiritual detection satellite, Lin Meng was at a loss of what to do. He was just a willow tree. A tree could not run under the sun. In other words, there was nothing he could do except wait for the humans to arrive. At this moment, they seemed to have noticed Lin Meng''s heavy mood. The peregrine falcons flew out of the nest. "Hum! Hum!" A series of cries seemed to be wailing. Birds understood human nature. They could understand Lin Meng''s mood at this moment. "I''m fine." He stretched out his branches as if he wanted to tease the peregrine falcons but, halfway through, Lin Meng pulled them back. He was not in the mood at all. He only felt that a huge boulder was pressing on his chest. "There should be a way, there should be..." In his deep thoughts, he kept telling himself. ording to the current situation, the spirit energy detection satellite should only be able to detect whether the spirit energy in a certain area was abnormal and not urately capture it. Otherwise, it would not be these few people who came to investigate on the spot. One had to know that with their small number of people, they were not enough for Lin Meng to whip them with a few branches. If they used tree roots, Lin Meng would be even more able to strangle them to death in an instant. And now, Lin Meng had to know how to avoid or counter the spiritual power detection device. Of course, there was still one more thing to consider. That was whether or not he could hide it from this batch of soldiers during the field inspection. If he could hide it from these soldiers and counter the spiritual energy detection satellite, Lin Meng would be truly safe. Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s gaze shifted to Betty, who was not far away. His tone was solemn. "Betty, try to help me ask about the specific situation of the spiritual energy detection satellite." Hearing the serious voice, Betty nodded seriously. Her gaze was firm. "Yes, Master." After replying, Betty''s consciousness entered the depths of her soul again. ... Not long after, Betty bit her lips lightly as if she was saying something: "The spiritual energy detection satellite is just a simple device to detect the concentration of spiritual energy in a ce." "However, based on the different concentrations of spiritual energy in this area, we can take some precautions in advance. For example, the reason why we are here on a field trip like now is firstly to evacuate the people, and secondly, to confirm whether the concentration of spiritual energy in this area is abnormal or whether a powerful mutated beast has been born." Listening to Betty''s voice, Lin Meng analyzed seriously. "The concentration of spiritual energy in the region. In that case, they haven''t confirmed my existence." "Phew..." Letting out a deep breath, Lin Meng rxed. Fortunately. It wasn''t the worst-case scenario. If they weren''t sure, then he still had a great chance. However, the most important thing now was to consider how to counter the satellite spiritual energy detection in outer space. After thinking about it, Lin Meng decided to start with the "stealth" that he used to sneak up on the golden eagle. That time, he had held his breath and restrained most of his aura. It made the golden eagle misjudge him. If he could upgrade his ability or strengthen it... Perhaps he could really avoid being discovered by the spiritual energy detection satellites. Thinking of this, Lin Meng pulled his consciousness into his mind. "Ability, I need this ability as my own, like a thick fog surrounding me at all times..." Chapter 29: Danger Everywhere Chapter 29: Danger Everywhere Wait. Thick fog? Suddenly, Lin Meng thought of something. He seemed to have overlooked another power of the thick fog. Hide himself. With this thought, he directly mobilized a circle of thick fog to envelop his body. Boom... The thick fog appeared, and the surrounding dust was cleared away. "This feeling..." Lin Meng''s heart stirred slightly as he felt the weak breath that seemed to be when his breathing was tightly shut. It seemed to be following his thoughts. The thick fog had covered more than half of his breath. However, he did not know if this would be able to hide from those spirit energy detection devices. The spirit energy detection satellite was only one of them. After all, it was arge-scale search. He was afraid that these investigators would carry sophisticated equipment. However, after a moment, Lin Meng seemed to have thought of something and shook his head. He was indeed afraid of being discovered by humans. After all, he had not fully matured yet. However, this did not mean that he could not do anything. If those people really carried sophisticated equipment and captured his existence, he would not be able to do anything. Lin Meng did not mind killing the other party before he was exposed. Thinking of this, a killing intent appeared in Lin Meng''s heart. Swish. Swish... As the branches swayed in the air, the fog in the entire canyon couldn''t help but surge. ... And at this moment... Roar... A low roar suddenly came from the ground not far away. He looked up. The honey badger climbed out of the hole. From the tree cage, he looked at his real body. Faintly, he began to rub his sharp ws, as if he was provoking Li Ming. "This..." Lin Meng was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself, Had this little thing be bolder? Suddenly, he thought of something, and Lin Meng''s gaze turned. Could it be... As expected, the white crane that had not been tamed before also slowly spread its white wings. Even the golden monkey at the top of his tree seemed to be restless. "Is that so?" Lin Mengughed coldly in his heart. He had figured it out. It should be that after he used the thick fog to hide his aura, the majesty that had been suppressing the mutated beasts also disappeared. As such, these mutated beasts that had not been tamed to begin with naturally revealed their unruly faces. "Hmph." With a cold snort, Lin Meng''s branches hit the air. Pa... The sound was clear and crisp. The honey badger that crawled out from the hole suddenly flew out with this sound. Roar... A low roar. After being whipped so hard that it was unable to stand up, the honey badger''s eyes were filled with a hint of confusion. It was somewhat puzzled. Why did the big tree, whose aura had already dissipated, still have such terrifying strength. "You guys. These guys..." Lin Meng coldly forgot all about it and felt a little helpless. Immediately after, his gaze was drawn to a spot not far away, looking at the honey badger that was filled with bloodstains in its mouth. There was an idea. After thinking for a moment, Lin Meng''s branches rolled up and suddenly rolled up the honey badger from the ground. Then, without waiting for the honey badger to react, a very dense life essence seeped out. Roar... Apanied by a terrifying low roar. The honey badger''s hair slowly grew, like a hedgehog that was barbed. At the same time, its sharp ws also slowly elongated. Its sharp ws, which were half a meter long, revealed a sharp edge that caused one''s heart to tremble. "Don''t let those guys enter the mountain." With a nightmare-like whisper, Lin Meng''s thick fog hallucination ability had already been activated. ... In the dusky sky, there were only a few stars. Ta, ta, ta... Along with the sound of broken footsteps, more than ten fully armed soldiers had already slowly entered the mountain. At this time, it was the wee hours of the morning. It was a very good time. During this time, most of the wild beasts were sleeping. It was the most suitable time to investigate. After leaving the vige, more than ten soldiers led by Jack stepped into the mountain at that time. As for the young girl with the fire elemental talent, Jack had already made arrangements. "I say, Commander, why can''t this thick fog disperse?" Looking at the vast expanse of white, one of the soldiers spoke first. However, this thick fog had alreadysted for a day, so it was time for it to disperse. From night to day. As everyone went deeper, the thick fog became denser and denser. Up until now, the visibility was less than five meters. Even the soldiers were a little afraid to explore such a huge mountain. They were deeply afraid that a mutated beast would suddenly appear from a corner. After a moment of silence, the experienced leader could note up with a reason. The fog in the mountain was the most terrifying fog he had ever seen. Standing in the thick fog, he felt as if the surrounding branches were standing like devils. They would pounce on him at any moment. "It should be a mutation." Jack, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He raised his head to look at the thick fog and sighed as he exined. "The increase in the concentration of spiritual energy will cause astonishing changes in some ces and these changes can not be exined scientifically." "For example, the entire Earth''s maic field is currently in chaos and the signal of the electronicmunication equipment is very poor." Listening to the leader''s example, Jack nodded and admitted,"This is indeed true. Just like in the depths of this mountain, electronicmunication equipment cannot be used." "And this is also a manifestation of the mutation." Speaking up to this point, Jack smiled and said,"When there is a mutation in some ces, the density of the spiritual energy will also increase. If this is really the case, our trip will be easy." "Mm, that''s true..." The captain who knew some insider information nodded. If the peak of spiritual energy in this area was only 17,000 to 18,000 because of the mutation, then it would be a good thing for them. At least it would be a thousand times better than encountering a mutated beast with a peak of the spiritual energy of 17,000 to 18,000. The fog here was a little strange. After walking for half an hour, Jack sighed in his heart. He touched the big tree next to him. He noticed a familiar mark. It was the mark left deliberately on the tree. Now, it was back to its original position. Sigh... With a sigh, Jack turned around and nced at the crowd. Although he couldn''t see clearly, he could keenly sense that these people were feeling uneasy. They were all new recruits. Facing such a strange situation, it was somewhat difficult to deal with. Moreover, more importantly, they didn''t know if it was an illusion but they always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark. "They''re really sharp!" In the distance, Lin Meng, who was using the thick fog to observe the group, frowned slightly. He sensed the vignce of the young man in the lead. ording to Betty, this person should be called Jack. An extraordinaire. Moreover, he seemed to be an extraordinary person with an extraordinary status. "Hmph." With a cold snort, Lin Meng did not seem to mind. His thick fogbined with the hallucinogenic effect. It was able to mislead these humans without anyone noticing, causing them to be on guard. If these people were able to retreat from the mountain like this, it would be fine. Chapter 30: Battle Chapter 30: Battle But if he didn''t quit, then don''t me Lin Meng for being ruthless. At that time, it didn''t matter if he was Jack or Mike. ... Unknowingly, another few hours had passed. In the depths of the mountain, a group of people led by Jack finally walked out of the original ce. They continued to move towards the depths of the mountain. However, what they didn''t know was that in the depths of the thick fog, pairs of green eyes were staring at them. The eyes of the wild beast were illuminated by the moonlight in the night, and the light reflected off them was green. At the same time, there was a pair of scarlet eyes that revealed killing intent, as if they were suppressing something. It was the wind wolf and the honey badger. The wind wolf naturally listened to Lin Meng''s orders and stopped the group. And the honey badger was Lin Meng''s final killing move. For this, Lin Meng used three drops of life essence. He forced the honey badger to give birth to a level 6 mutated beast. Just itsbat strength alone could far surpass the wind wolf that spat out wind des. However, as the price, Lin Meng did not care about the life and death of the honey badger. He forced the illusion and brainwashed the honey badger. One had to know that the honey badger was the most vengeful. And now, in its pure memory, Jack and the others were his biggest enemies. "Roar..." With a low roar, the honey badger that couldn''t hold back suddenly dove down, thinking of rushing down the mountain. And at this moment. "Howl, howl, howl..." Wolf howls echoed in the mountain forest. The wolf. The most terrifying hunter in the depths of the mountain. Apanied by wolf howls... Jack and the others, who were far away from them, couldn''t help but stop, feeling a little afraid. "Did you hear that?" Swallowing his saliva, a soldier said in shock. "It can''t be..." As if he had thought of something unbelievable, the other soldier was also a little nervous. "Phew..." Letting out a deep breath, the regimentmander looked at Jack and nodded. He said in a deep voice,"It shouldn''t be wrong. It''s a wolf pack. I just don''t know if it''s a mutated wolf pack." Speaking up to this point, the regimentmander also looked around and reminded them: "Take good care of the weapons in your hands. You can''t let go of them." "Alright, Regiment Commander." Waving the machine gun in his hand, a soldier with dark skin revealed a smile. ... Time passed very slowly when people were nervous. Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, the soldier walked even more cautiously. With every step he took, his heart became nervous. "Ah!" Suddenly, a screambroke the dead silence. When Jack heard it, his expression changed drastically. He subconsciously activated his spirit energy. But after a moment, looking at the recruit who had just stepped into the mud pit, Jack and the regimentmander''s faces turned ck. However, they did not reprimand the recruit. It was only because not only this soldier but the hearts of the other soldiers were also pounding. In the depths of this fog-filled mountain, there seemed to be a terrifying crisis that was constantly pressing down on their nerves. ... "It''s starting!" In the distance, in the depths of the canyon, Lin Meng''s gaze slightly focused. Immediately after, a scream resounded throughout the entire mountain. "No!" Along with this extremely shrill scream, the arm of a soldier flew up. At the same time, a pir of blood shot up into the sky. He looked up. It was actually a green stream of light that came out of nowhere and cut off the arm of the soldier. "There''s an enemy! There''s an enemy..." As they cried out in rm, the soldiers had already picked up the weapons in their hands. Soon after. Bang. Bang. Bang... Bullets rained down like raindrops and mes sshed in the thick fog. "Awoo..." A mournful cry. In the thick fog, a giant wolf the size of a calf pounced out. What was even more shocking was that this giant wolf''s mouth was still surging with a green light. "Run!" With an angry roar, Jack, whose entire body was wrapped in spiritual power, decisively threw the soldier beside him out. Immediately after, he pulled out a whip kick. Bang! Apanied by a terrifying roar, the thick fog was swept away. At the same time, the giant green wolf also flew away amidst a low whimper. "Hu..." He took a deep breath. Jack did not have the time to look at the casualties on the battlefield. Because, at this time, the thick fog blocked his vision. The cheers and even the trees turned into a terrifying devil. "This fog..." In the low voice, the young man''s heart sank. He had a faint feeling that this fog seemed to be alive. But... How was that possible? He did not have the time to think because, at that moment, miserable cries came from within the fog. At the same time, a very strong fishy smell alsoe. "Mid-level mutant beast?" And feel the vibrations that are no worse than his. Jack''s face changed. Mid-level mutant beast. Peak psionic power between 4,000 and 6,000. They''ve been able to ignore some of the bullets and artillery fire. Strong enough to threaten an armed unit. And, although Jack was one of the geniuses of this country, he was only at the intermediate level. And coincidentally, within the same level. When humans faced mutated beasts, it was a disadvantage. Here, it was worth mentioning that the intermediate level was a preliminary division of human strength. Other than the intermediate level, there were also the lower level and the upper level. The lower level was around 1,000 to 3,000 of the peak spiritual power. Their strength had already surpassed ordinary people and they were significantly stronger in all aspects. As for the upper level... It was around 7,000 to 9,000 points of peak spiritual power. An existence at this level was truly a war machine. To put it another way, a mutated beast at the upper level was enough to threaten the safety of a city. Think about it. A beast so fast that the naked eye couldn''t react in time and its strength was enough to tear apart steel alloys. To appear in a city, that scene was too terrifying. However, that was not the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that above the upper echelon, there were so-called transcendents. However, it was a pity that humans had very little contact with the existence of transcendents. The information they had was not enough to describe such an existence. ... "This is going to be troublesome." His eyes narrowed slightly. Jack had already subconsciously used his spiritual energy to cover his vital parts. A mid-level mutated beast was enough to make one''s scalp go numb. Even he was no exception. Now, the only thing he could pray for... Was that this mid-level mutated beast was not arge-scale predator like the liger, tiger, and leopard. Otherwise, its level of danger would have increased by one or two levels. However, in an instant... He seemed to have discovered something. Jack''s pupils suddenly constricted. In front of him was actually a very famous animal. However, looking at its hair that was standing on its head like a hedgehog, while its eyes were red. Its body size had increased by several times. Jack''s expression changed slightly. "Mutated honey badger?" In shock, Jack quickly retreated. Bang! The sharp ws of the honey badgernded on a trunk as thick as a bucket beside Jack. Chapter 31: The Canyon Returned to Silence Chapter 31: The Canyon Returned to Silence Then, without waiting for Jack to react, the big tree that was as thick as a bucket was split into two. A smooth cross-section was revealed. "This is no longer as simple as trouble." Jack''s face was solemn. He stomped on the ground with his right foot and rushed towards the honey badger like a cannonball. A crack appeared on the ground where Jack stomped on. It was enough to see how terrifying Jack''s legs were. Battle was inevitable. No one could avoid it. Now, Jack''s only wish was to quickly defeat the honey badger and leave the mountain with everyone alive. ... Not long after, in a small forest. Cough cough... Holding his chest, a staggering figure walked out from the fog. Behind him, there were a few figures supporting each other. "We can''t rest here." Coughing up blood foam, Jack turned around and looked into the depths of the mountain. It reminded everyone. "Mm." Nodding his head, the bearded leader also agreed. However,pared to before, this leader was now in a sorry state, with three bloody wounds on his back. His clothes were also torn. The leader wasn''t the only one. The others weren''t any better. Moreover, unfortunately, they lost six of their brothers. Gritting his teeth, the leader didn''t think too much about it. They had finally gotten rid of those giant green wolves. If they didn''t retreat now, it would be toote. Moreover, the most hateful thing was that one of the mutated beasts that attacked them was actually a honey badger. Thinking of this, the regimentmander smiled bitterly. Any mutated beast wasn''t good, but it just had to be the honey badger. Just this honey badger had a very hot temper and was very stubborn. It would always chase and attack the enemy, not letting go until it was dead. So much so that they repelled these mutated beasts but they didn''t dare to stop at all. They even took the initiative to run out of the mountain. Although the battle strength of the honey badger couldn''tpare to lions, tigers, and so on. However, its reputation was very big in human society. The reason why it was so famous was that the honey badger was very vengeful. If one provoked this fellow, unless they killed it, they would be waiting for countless revenge. One had to know that the honey badger was a vicious character who dug holes overnight and went to the zoo to fight lions because the lions looked at him one time too many. Although it didn''t win, the vengeful nature of this race made everyone apprehensive. And now, a mutated honey badger was so powerful that even an extraordinaire like Jack almost died at the hands of the other party. Being targeted by the other party, they couldn''t help but feel nervous. If they didn''t retreat quickly, they might even lose their lives. ... At this time, what Jack and the others didn''t know was that... In the distant canyon, a willow tree had been staring at them. After they left the canyon, the willow tree let out a long sigh. "These big problems have finally left." Yes, they had finally left. If Lin Meng''s guess was right, they would not return for a short period of time. In fact, it had to be said that just as the group of people were fighting with the wind wolves and the honey badger, Lin Meng wanted to make a move and keep this person alive. With its current means, it was not too difficult to keep them alive. Even if they were tens of kilometers away, with the help of the thick fog and hallucination, Lin Meng could kill them in an instant. But after thinking about it. Lin Meng still chose to give up. Because he needed to use this group of people''s mouths to stabilize the higher-ups of the human race in a short time. Then, he would give them a buffer time to allow him to truly develop. Regardless of whether his existence was exposed or not. Just the fog and the mutated beasts hidden in the fog alone were enough to make those who wanted toe in and investigate not dare toe again. As for whether the humans would use weapons of mass destruction to clean up this mountain. Logically speaking, this should be impossible. After all, now that the spiritual energy had recovered. Just think of the mountain that Lin Meng stayed in, there would be as many as needed. Before they werepletely sure that there was an extraordinary creature hiding in this mountain. The humans that Lin Meng knew weren''t so bold as to directly use weapons of mass destruction. What Lin Meng wanted to do was to use these mutated beasts that weren''t weak to drive them away without exposing himself. This way, he could hide well behind the scenes. He could develop in peace. After thinking about it, Lin Meng felt that this was pretty good. There was nothing wrong with it. "If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will be over in a short period of time." Right now, Lin Meng only wanted one word, "Stability." As for whether he would be discovered in the future. That wasn''t something he needed to consider now. He had already done what he needed to do. What happened next would depend on his luck. However, after thinking about it, Lin Meng felt that he had gained quite a lot this time. After all, he was a pretty good chess piece that had been deeply embedded into the human race. Thinking of this, Lin Meng also called out softly: "Betty, how are you doing now?" There was a moment of silence. The white figure leaning against the big tree pouted. Sheined: "I got into a car and it has been bumpy ever since." As he spoke, Betty expressed her dissatisfaction again: "Master, do I really have to control this body all the time?" "Yes." Lin Meng smiled and his words were filled with pride. Even he did not expect that the girl called Julie would actually awaken her elemental talent. After that, the leader of the group, Jack, took a liking to her. He wanted to send her to that mysterious department. What did this mean? As long as he nurtured Betty, a perfect chess piece would be able to infiltrate her. At that time, he would be able to grasp many human situations with Betty''s help. Moreover, he had already verified it with Betty. Now, Betty could control that body for more than ten hours. When Betty didn''t control it, that body would fall asleep. In this way, it could form a cycle. Julie''s body could work and rest like a normal person. Looking at Betty who was reluctant, Lin Meng could understand. This kind of operation should be a big burden for Betty. Thinking of this, Lin Meng smiled and said, "Betty, as a reward, I will definitely give you some life essence." "Really?" Betty''s eyes widened as she suddenly cried out in surprise. "I''ll keep my word." "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!" She was so happy that she was dancing with joy. Betty, who was wearing a white dress, revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart. Life essence was an extremely important treasure to her. It could elerate her evolution. It could also nourish her soul... It could be said that this kind of treasure was very attractive to her. ... Just when Betty was happy. An armored vehicle was driving on the muddy road. Two fully armed special forces soldiers at the back looked at the little girl who had suddenly fallen asleep. The corners of their mouths twitched. Chapter 32: Yellow Warning Zone Chapter 32: Yellow Warning Zone "This little girl Julie, she can''t be suffering from narcolepsy, right?" "Why is she sleeping all the time?" "Sleeping is good, the key is that she always falls asleep without any warning." There was a rare silence and the eyes of the two special forces soldiers were filled with helplessness. But after a moment, as if they had thought of something, the two of them looked at each other and saw the smile in the depths of each other''s eyes. It had been a long time since theyst met such an innocent little girl. Moreover, ording to Boss Jack. This little girl''s talent was very high. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be another monster in the genius concentration camp. "I even thought of her title in the future." The two of them had nothing to do, so they began to tease each other. "What title?" "Narcoleptic..." "Eh, this name is a bit too much. I think it''s better to call her me Girl. This name is simpler." "me Girl? This name has something to do with it." He chuckled. This special forces soldier also did not speak. However, his eyes seemed to be saying something. ... At night, the air was filled with moisture. It had been several hours since the humans left the canyon. And at this time. As if sensing something, Lin Meng suddenly raised his head. He saw four huge cyan wolves limping towards him in the thick fog. Blood was still seeping out of their wounds. One big piece, one small piece, it looked especially horrifying. The wind wolf in the lead was holding something like prey in its mouth. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a honey badger that was several times bigger. However, the current honey badger didn''t look very good. Its entire body was covered in wounds. There was a fist-sized hole in some of its vital parts. What was even more shocking was that its abdomen seemed to have been prated by something and it was bleeding non-stop. "Roar..." Amidst the low growls, the honey badger still tried to struggle. A pair of eyes stared in the direction where the human had left. "This time, it''s really been hard on you guys." Seeing this situation, Lin Meng couldn''t bear it any longer and sighed. The wind wolf was still fine. Facing the human''s bullets, it would at most be slightly injured. However, the honey badger that he had scammed and the man called Jack fought very fiercely. In particr, it was hit by a human cannonball in the end. It fell to the ground with only itsst breath. However, even so. The honey badger that was blinded by hatred refused to leave. Its eyes were filled with anger and madness. In the honey badger''s mind, there was only one thought, revenge. If it wasn''t for the cover of the thick fog and the wind wolf with high intelligence. The honey badger would have bitten it. The wind wolf decisively retreated from the battlefield. This honey badger would probably have died in the battle. "Haa..." As he sighed, Lin Meng''s countless branches slowly extended out. Immediately after, the countless branches weaved into a huge hand and took the honey badger from the wind wolf''s mouth. It was as if he was holding it in his arms. "Roar roar roar..." Raising his head, the honey badger looked at Lin Meng''s branches and growled. His body was struggling non-stop. But that serious injury made every growl seem like a wail. Each growl was more tragic than thest. "Don''t move." Using the message conveyed by the branches. He didn''t care whether the honey badger could understand or not. Lin Meng had already used the branches to bind ityer byyer. Then, the branches were like flexible tentacles, reaching to the wound of the honey badger. It whimpered softly. The honey badger was still roaring. But a momentter, apanied by a sharp pain... The entire body of the honey badger began to tremble. "Just endure it." With a whisper in his heart, Lin Meng used the branches to take out the bullets from the honey badger''s body. One by one, the bloody bullet shells fell to the ground. Some of them even stuck on the bones of the honey badger. If he didn''t take them out, the injuries of the honey badger would be difficult to heal. Fortunately, the honey badger had be a mutated beast. Otherwise, it would have died long ago. After taking out the bullet shells, Lin Meng didn''t sprinkle his life essence immediately. The power contained in his life essence was too powerful. For the honey badger and the wind wolf at the moment. It was harmful but not beneficial. After all, they were all very weak at the moment and their bodies were covered in wounds. It was very difficult to resist the impact of the life essence. Thinking of this... Lin Meng''s gaze was drawn to the ground not far away. Rumble, rumble... As countless ck tree roots broke through the ground, they emerged from the soil. The entire canyon trembled slightly. Then... These tree roots were like giant pythons, twining around each other and stirring up the earth. Sometimes, they turned into a ck. It sent a huge pile of soil to the side. Sometimes, it rolled up a huge rock and threw them into the distance. Before long, in front of Lin Meng''s terrifying strength... A ring-shaped hole with a diameter of 20-30 meters and a depth of 6-7 meters had already leaked out from the ground. After doing all this. Lin Meng''s gaze was drawn to a small river not far away. No, this shouldn''t be considered a small river. It could only be said that it had rained a few days ago. The rainwater flowed along the low-lying terrain towards a mountain spring in the distance. However, with these flowing mountain springs, ake was almostplete. He smiled in his heart. Lin Meng used the tree roots toplete the final drainage. Half an hourter. A turbidke hadpletely appeared in front of Lin Meng. "Go." He twirled the branches. Lin Meng put the honey badger in. He chased a few wind wolves in as well. Then, without waiting for them to climb out of theke. One of Lin Meng''s branches had already broken, revealing a smooth cross-section. Following that, a drop of extremely rich life essence dripped down. "Roar roar roar..." Amidst the low roars, the wind wolf and the honey badger quieted down. This was because the surface of theke was shining. A veryfortable and warm feeling enveloped them. At this moment, the surrounding wild beasts were all looking at theke. The white crane spread its wings. The bison woke up. One by one, the mutated beasts focused their gazes on theke. However, under the obstruction of Lin Meng''s branches, they hesitated for a moment and did not approach theke. "These are to reward them." When Lin Meng saw these stopped mutated beasts, he also felt that it was funny. However, he had to admit that clearing out ake was a little convenient. Not only could it make the canyon more beautiful... It could also let the essence of life merge into theke. Dilute the life essence. So that when it was given to animals, it would not be directly overwhelmed by the powerful power of the essence of life. The existence of thiske was enough to support most animals. Thinking of this, Lin Meng thought of his main tree root. The main tree roots deeply rooted in the earth. Roots are spread in the cracks between the rocks. Every moment is absorbing the surging spirit river deep underground. Chapter 33: Spirit River Chapter 33: Spirit River Spirit river. A river that contained arge amount of spiritual energy. In Lin Meng''s view, this was a very good treasure. Just his current main tree root alone was enough to know. It had only been ten days or so. His main tree root had be more than a degree thicker. Moreover, what was even more exaggerated was that. His gaze was drawn deep into the earth. Lin Meng saw his main tree root as if it was breathing. It expanded and contracted, swallowing and spitting out terrifying spiritual power. This kind of swallowing and spitting was not obvious to the willow tree on the surface. But to the tree roots that covered the earth. It was like a catalyst. Lin Meng could clearly feel that his countless tree roots were continuously strengthening. What was more terrifying was that they were like a. It was continuously extending in all directions. It was estimated that it wouldn''t take long. The entire canyon would be covered with its roots. If the golden finger''s evolution point was said to be an enhancement of its ability... Then the appearance of this underground spirit river was the cornerstone that pushed it to evolve again. "The underground spirit river is so useful to me. Compared to other mutated beasts, it''s also quite useful." After thinking for a while. Lin Meng came to a conclusion. If his guess was right, this kind of thing that contained spiritual energy might be a resource that everyone would fight for in the future. ... Time passed quickly. A few days passed. In a mysterious corner of this country. "Huu..." With a sigh, an old man looked at Jack who was sitting upright not far away. He shook his head andforted him: "Jack, it''s been hard on you this time." "It''s not hard." Jack replied but suddenly he began to grunt twice. "Cough, cough." He coughed a few times. His hand, which was covering his mouth, was covered in blood. He was seen by the old man. "Huu, looks like you''ve met a ruthless character." "He''s indeed ruthless." As he said that, Jack couldn''t help but think of a honey badger. He had really seen a ghost. It could only be said that it was worthy of being called "the most fearless animal in the world." Even after bing a mutated beast. It still didn''t change its fierce power. He picked up the tissue on the table. He wiped the bloodstains on his hands and the corners of his mouth. Jack began to talk about business. "Sir, ording to the information we have, the mountain is most likely mutated." "Of course, we can not rule out the existence of powerful mutated beasts." "Is that so?" He nodded. The old man picked up the document that Jack handed over. He asked, "Where do you think the fog doesn''t disperse and can affect people''s minds?" "Yes, this is also the reason why I judged that there was a mutation there. Just like other ces where there was a mutation, there are all kinds of situations that can not be exined with scientific evidence." "Indeed, it is difficult to exin the mutation. However, considering that the fog there is not very harmful, I will temporarily define that mountain as a yellow warning zone. However, remember to monitor it in real-time. Once there is a strange movement, it will immediately be upgraded to a red danger zone." "The yellow warning zone that is the focus of surveince?" Jack muttered and a hint of agreement appeared on his face. Yellow warning zone. It was a division that the military had made ording to the danger level of the area. Other than the yellow warning zone. There was also a green safety zone. A red danger zone, and the most terrifying forbidden area for life. There was no need to mention the green safety zone. The yellow warning zone meant that there was a certain potential danger. They needed to be vignt. The red danger zone meant that the danger index was quite high. Generally speaking, such zones either had powerful mutated beasts or were filled with danger. As for the final forbidden zone. Its full name was the "Life Forbidden Zone." Just this name alone was enough to tell how terrifying it was. Up till now, there were three forbidden areas of life that humans had confirmed. Each of them was unfathomable. Iparably terrifying. It even attracted the attention of the entire world to a certain extent. The first was the Bermuda Triangle. This ce was already known as the "Devil''s Triangle" before the recovery of spiritual energy. After the recovery of the spiritual energy, the degree of terror increased exponentially. As for how terrifying it was... Electronic signals could not enter that area and the light in the sky could not directly shine into it. It was always shrouded by ck clouds. The maic field distorted everything. And apart from the Bermuda Triangle... There were two other forbidden areas. One was arge blue hole about 60 miles away from the Sea of Berris. It was like a ck hole that devoured everything. The other was located within the territory of the Federation. It was known as the "Most Dangerous Heavenly Lake." ... At this moment, he looked at Jack''s back as he left. The old man smiled. He asked, "I heard that you brought back a little girl this time?" "Yes, a girl who has awakened her fire elemental talent." Jack''s footsteps paused slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He turned around and added. "She''s very good." "Haha, it''s rare for you to praise someone so much. Bring her to me when you have the chance." "Okay." Jack smiled happily. If this little girl Julie could really be valued by the officer, then it would be a good thing for her. ... At this moment, Lin Meng, who was still standing quietly in the depths of Beiyu Canyon, did not know about the conversation between Jack and the old man. Otherwise, he would have woken up from his dream with a smile. Although there was only a difference of two words between the "yellow warning" zone and the "red warning" zone. However, the meaning waspletely different. It was like a forbidden zone for life. It was worth the attention of the entire human race. As for the red danger zone, it was under the gaze of every country. It was constantly monitored, and if necessary, it would be suppressed by the army. The ces that were deemed to be red danger zones weren''t having an easy time. As for the yellow danger zone. Although it was also being monitored. It wasn''t being taken seriously. After all, there were many ces within the federation that were marked as yellow danger zones. There were simply too many to count. If one picked up the army map, they would definitely be able to see that apart from the cities... More than half of the areas had been reduced to a yellow warning zone. And this was something that could not be helped. In this era of the recovery of spiritual essence, there were too many ces that were worth being on guard against. Not only were there mutated beasts, but there were also some unknown dangers hidden in the forest. ... "I haven''t sent anyone over these few days. It seems that there isn''t much of a problem." After thinking about it, Lin Meng let out a sigh of relief. Although he wasn''t afraid of scouting, Lin Meng was still afraid of fighting with humans. Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about humans and started thinking about serious matters. Right now, he was at transcendence tier one. ording to the information that Betty had gathered... His peak spiritual power should be around 17,000 to 18,000. And the strongest of the mutated beasts that he had nurtured was the red fox. It was a level 4 beast. After eating the golden eagle, it had sessfully entered entry level 6. Its peak spiritual power was around 6,000. He looked up. Under the moonlight, a huge red fox seemed to be covered in mes. It was lying on a huge rock. However, at this moment, its gaze was extremely cold, as if it was warning something. Chapter 34: Naming Chapter 34: Naming However, that was indeed the case. Following the red fox''s gaze. One by one, the mutated beasts, wind wolves, and bison slowly lowered their heads. But at this moment. "Roar..." Suddenly, a low roar resounded throughout the night. The honey badger, which had more than half-recovered by now, actuallyid on the ground, its sharp ws fiercely rubbing against the ground. It bared its teeth at the red fox. "Tsk tsk!" When Lin Meng saw this situation, he smiled. He knew that there would be a good show to watch. As expected. A momentter. Under Lin Meng''s expectant gaze, the red fox, which was lying on the rock, slowly stood up. "Hyuu..." A long howl, carrying extremely high temperatures, gave off an overbearing aura. The surrounding mutated beasts could not help but take a few steps back. But at this moment. Shua. A red stream of light suddenly shed across the night sky. Bang! Along with the earth-shaking... The mutated honey badger had already been smacked into the ground by one of the red fox''s ws. "It''s still so violent." Looking at this elegant red fox with a tail like a me, Lin Meng could not understand how this fellow could be so violent. He could take action at any time. However, he liked it. He smiled mockingly. Lin Meng also stretched out his branches. The red fox cooperated and let go of the sharp ws that were pressing on the honey badger. It walked a few steps towards Lin Meng''s body. Then, it ced its head down and enjoyed the feeling of Lin Meng''s branches gently caressing it. It narrowed its eyes. Its face revealed a human-like joy. She looked like she was enjoying it very much. "From now on, you shall be called Nine-Tailed." As he spoke, Lin Meng gave this human-like red fox an extraordinary name. Nine-Tailed. It was said that the Fox had nine tails and each of its tails had incredible power. It symbolized power and mystery. To a certain extent, it was even considered an "auspicious beast." The name Lin Meng gave this red fox showed that he fancied the red fox. However, the red fox itself had a high IQ. And now, it was the era of the recovery of spiritual energy. Everything was evolving. Everything was possible. Who dared to say that this red fox would not evolve in the future? In the future, if it evolved again, it was not impossible for it to be the legendary nine-tailed fox. Just like how Lin Meng longed to be a god-like existence. Not to mention other things, he still had to have a dream. What if it came true? Thinking of this, he turned his gaze. He looked at the ck bison not far away. This guy''s talent was not bad. It was worth it for him to choose a name. Thinking of this, he thought for a while but after thinking for a long time, he still could not make up his mind. He wanted to give the buffalo a name that wasn''t inferior to nine-tailed ox. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn''t think of a suitable name. "Why don''t I call it Ox Demon King?" While he was hesitating, Lin Meng thought of a very famous great demon. But on second thought, this name sounded a little strange. "After removing the ''King,'' I''ll directly call it Ox Demon." Ox Demon, Ox Demon. It was much easier to say this way. This name had Lin Meng''s expectations of the bison. He hoped that it would continue to evolve and be a true ox demon. Thinking of this, Lin Meng waved his branch. He called the bison over. "Moo..." A bull''s cry. The ck bison swayed its head as it walked towards Lin Meng. "I''ll carve two words for you." As he said this, Lin Meng had a wicked taste in his mouth. He turned the willow branch into a sword and gently pointed it at the crescent horns of the ck bison. Every stroke was very powerful. It had to be said that it had been a long time since he had written, so it was a little difficult to write. However, this did not affect its beauty. He raised his head and looked. At the end of the two crescent horns of the ck bison, a series of words appeared. Ox! Demon! It looked very powerful. "It looks pretty good." Lin Meng smiled and looked at the words on the horn. He was very satisfied. In the future, if those humans discovered the words on the horn, they would definitely think of many things. With this kind of expectation. Lin Meng wanted to leave his mark on the other mutated beasts. But after looking around, other than the bison. It was not easy to leave a mark on the others. Just like the nine-tailed sharp ws could leave words. But it was not easy to be discovered. It could not satisfy Lin Meng''s mischievous heart. After thinking for a while, Lin Meng''s gaze shifted to the ox horn again. He was also somewhat satisfied with his masterpiece. In the future, if humans saw the words on the ox horn. They would definitely guess. Humans were the most suspicious. Mutated beasts were learning human culture? Mutated bison were the pets of a certain human powerhouse? Either way, it was enough to give them a headache for a while. ... The forest was filled with white fog. Looking from afar, it seemed like a monster was devouring everything. In the forest that was filled with fog. Swoosh! A red stream of light rushed into the distance like an arrow. Then, the stream of light suddenly paused and turned to rush in another direction. Not long after. Akeside appeared in front of him. Thekeside wasn''t big but it was very clear. Especially at this moment, the mist on thekeside was like ayer of gauze, looking very mysterious. And at that moment, a red figure walked out from the mist. It was Nine-Tailed. A terrifying mutated beast under Lin Meng. With its strength. It was enough to be the overlord of a forest. And now, this overlord-level nine-tailed fox stood on the stone shore not far away, its fiery red eyes staring at the edge of theke. There, a porcupine was drinking water. It licked the corner of its mouth. Nine-Tailed fox''s body suddenly moved, its body turning into a stream of light. Boom! There was no wailing, nor was there a miserable cry. There was only a porcupine that was drinking water. Its head was heavily pped to the edge of theke by ws that came from god knows where. Ssh. The water in theke sshed. However, just as the water was about to reach the Nine-Tailed fox''s tail, and was about to wet her hair. Her eyes suddenly focused and a ray of red light flowed. Kacha! With a sound, time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The water droplets in the air seemed to have been fixed. Taking advantage of this time, the Nine-Tailed effortlessly bit the huge porcupine. It rushed into the depths of the mountain. Its speed was extremely fast. ... Not long after. At the entrance of the canyon, Nine-Tailed the fox slowly slowed down. It raised its head and held the prey in its mouth as if to prevent the porcupine''s body from touching the ground. However, it had to be said that even though the fox Nine-Tailed held the prey in its mouth, it still walked very elegantly. It was like a noble queen. At this moment, Nine-Tailed the fox''s ears stood up and moved slightly, as if it had discovered something. It turned its head slightly. In its line of sight, there was also a dense forest, and it saw several huge green wolves that wererger than normal beasts. The huge wolves were walking towards the canyon with their prey in their mouths. "Are they all back?" In the depths of the canyon, Lin Meng could not help butugh out loud as he watched this scene. Chapter 35: Accumulating Evolution Points Chapter 35: umting Evolution Points As carnivores, Nine-Tailed the fox and the wind wolf naturally wouldn''t be like Ox Demon, which could satisfy its appetite by eating some grass. To them, hunting wild beasts was inevitable. And because of this, Lin Meng also let these guys bring their prey back. As for the reason, it didn''t need to be said. Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s heart skipped a beat. Shua shua shua! Five consecutive sounds pierced through the air and the branches grew with the wind. In an instant, they actually turned into five long sharp swords. sh, sh! Before they could react, the four wind wolves and Nine-Tailed the fox''s remaining prey had all died. Ding-dong! "You killed a Level 2 Mutant Porcupine. Evolution Points +20." Ding-dong! "You killed a Level 1 Mutant Hare. Evolution Points +10." ... The crisp sound of the system notification rang in Lin Meng''s ears, causing his smile to be even wider. Perfect. It was perfect. He raised his eyes and looked at Nine-Tailed the fox and the wind wolf who were already eating at the entrance of the canyon. Looking at the 60 evolution points that he had gained, Lin Meng felt that there was no wiser decision than this. He only needed to make these guys not kill their prey immediately when they were hunting. Then, they could bring them back and kill all of them to be his evolution points. Ah, he had to admit that this idea was really wise. Until now, because of this decision, Lin Meng had already obtained 120 evolution points from these pets. In addition to what he had left, his evolution points had reached 172 points. What was worth mentioning here was that perhaps it was due to the process of spiritual energy recovery. There were more and more mutated beasts. Even the prey that they casually killed had almost reached entry level 1. Of course, this definitely couldn''t bepared to the beasts around Lin Meng''s willow tree. In just a few days, even the white crane beside Lin Meng had used the water from small spiritke that Lin Meng had personally created to reach level 2. Not to mention, the little golden monkey had also picked up the willow leaves that Lin Meng had dropped on the ground in addition to the water from the spiritke. He took a bite. With that, the little monkey had already entered level 3. He had also awakened a very good innate talentextreme absorption. Compared to ordinary mutated beasts, his body could absorb more powerful substances to strengthen his body. It would speed up his evolution. In other words, with the passage of time, the body of the golden monkey would be harder and harder. Until one day, his body would be harder than steel. Of course, this was the ideal state. However, overall, the extreme absorption was a good innate talent. It was not much weaker than his super regeneration. In fact, from a certain point of view, the golden monkey''s innate talent was more conducive tobat. However, the most suitable one was the strongest. Compared to its innate talent, extreme absorption, Lin Meng preferred his super regeneration. With this innate talent, Lin Meng could freely extend his branches. Even the roots that he hid underground grew rapidly and extended even longer. ... At this moment, Lin Meng''s field of vision was raised and he looked at the entrance of the canyon. Squatting on the ground was Nine-Tailed the fox whose fur was as red as fire. Lin Meng smiled. Nine-Tailed the fox was sitting on its hind legs with its ears erect. Although there were fresh drops from its mouth, it did not look ferocious. On the contrary, it gave people a bloody sense of beauty. On the contrary, the wind wolves were eating in big mouthfuls. As they ate, they would look around vigntly from time to time. Withoutparison, there would be no harm. Withparison, the wind wolve''s eating was naturally much more pathetic. "In the future, try to let these pets eat some cooked food, or teach them how to eat elegantly." After thinking about it, Lin Meng also had this idea. As his subordinate mutated beasts, they naturally couldn''t look ugly when they ate meat like normal beasts. Along with their strength, their intelligence would also increase correspondingly. However, Lin Meng didn''t want their intelligence to be purely used in battle. Only by allowing them to disy their intelligence in more fields could they develop their intelligence to the greatest extent. And some of the human''s customs and culture could greatly develop their intelligence. Here, it also revealed some of Lin Meng''s ambitions. As a treant, the hope of coexisting with humans was too small. It was almost impossible. Lin Meng was familiar with the bloody history of human development, especially the colonization and wars. A race that could even ughter its own race without hesitation, would you expect them to pity a different race? Moreover, it was a willow tree? Even if some people were willing, in the face of most people''s decisions, they could only follow the general trend. Moreover, if you were to put yourself in their shoes, as a race that stood at the peak of the natural world, would you hope that other races would threaten your position? No one would hesitate, right. Because, this was not a matter of one person, but of tens of millions of people. Pity at this time would only push the human race into a pit of fire. Lin Meng also understood that not only did he have no other choice, but even the humans also would not have too many choices. Between races, there was no right or wrong. There was only an eternal struggle between the strong and the weak. ... Unless one day, Lin Meng''s strength made the humans fear him, otherwise, he would not have the right to speak. And this was the so-called, "If you are strong enough, the world will be gentle to you." If you want others to be gentle to you, you have to be strong enough to make them fear you. And before you are strong enough, what can you do? Wait? No. Absolutely not. Lin Meng was not good at waiting. Before he was strong enough, what he had to do was to hide and develop his pets. Then he could strengthen his own power. Just like humans, small individuals could be ughtered by mutated beasts at will. But if they banded together, they would be the most terrifying race in the world. Lin Meng had the same thought. He wanted Lin Meng''s own ability to build an empire that belonged to him. In this way, even if humans noticed his existence... They would fall into real hesitation due to various misgivings. The worst oue would be to start a racial war. With tens of millions of beast hordes attracting the attention of the humans and, at that time, Lin Meng could also hide behind the scenes. Here, it had to be said that Lin Meng was a little selfish. But for him, who had to live a new life, selfishness was necessary. He was not so great that he would sacrifice himself to help others. At the end of the day, Lin Meng was just a lucky man. Reborn into a willow tree. And now, he was just fighting to survive. Chapter 36: Experimental Toxins Chapter 36: Experimental Toxins Of course, if the humans hadn''t pushed him too hard, the situation wouldn''t have developed to the point of no return. At least, from the bottom of his heart, Lin Meng didn''t mind coexisting with the humans. In the first ce, the humans had no ill intentions towards him. After thinking so much, Lin Meng''s train of thought became clearer and clearer. While strengthening himself, he also cultivated more mutated beasts. Moreover, it was worth mentioning that some mutated beasts didn''t need to be nurtured too much. Just like the Ox Demon. A race like the wind wolf. As long as they were nurtured to be the strongest, they would be able to fight for the position of leader. In this way, Lin Meng didn''t have to pay too much of a price. He could harvest a herd of cows or wolves. "However, when nurturing mutated beasts, the most important thing is to strengthen oneself." Thinking of this. Lin Meng immediately pulled the attribute panel. Now that he had 172 evolution points, he could upgrade a few decent abilities. For example, he could strengthen the branches first. Without hesitation, he started. Ding-dong! "Are you sure you want to use 5 evolution points to strengthen the branches?" "Yes." Nodding his head, Lin Meng agreed. Although 5 evolution points was a lot, the consumption of evolution points was always equivalent. In other words, such strengthening was definitely worth it. With this thought in mind, Lin Meng also felt a warm current rising from every corner of his body. Then, without waiting for him to react. This warm current was already spreading towards a branch. Crack! Along with a crisp sound, it was as if the bark had exploded. The end of this branch that had been strengthened once again actually sprouted new buds. At the same time, an even denser wave of vitality was already spreading without stopping. Moreover, a fragrance was also being released at the same time. "This..." Lin Meng felt that there were some indescribable changes in his branch. The original branches had already been strengthened by evolution points and he could control them freely. But now, with the strengthening of his control, apart from making the branches tougher... It seemed to have an additional ability. Thinking of this, Lin Meng looked at the attribute panel. Mutated Branches LV2after being strengthened several times, the hardness of the branches was alreadyparable to steel. They could freely bend and grow, and they could secrete a poison that was enough to paralyze the body of the prey. Or even make them unconscious. Looking at this piece of news, Lin Meng was silent for a moment. He had to admit that it was a little scary. The branches that were already very strong were now tender and secreting poison. Just thinking about it was shocking. At this moment, Lin Meng had a feeling. If he strengthened all of his branches, hisbat strength would at least increase by several times. One had to know that his thousands of branches were his tentacles. Wherever the branches touched, they could be killed. But now, after being strengthened, just blocking the attack was not enough. They still had to resist the poison he was secreting. Although he did not know how strong the poison he was secreting was, just by looking at the level 2 ability, one could see how terrifying the poison was. One had to know that none of Lin Meng''s level 2 weapons were easy to deal with. One was the level 2 thick fog, which was about to cover a hundred thousand mountains. A level 2 hallucination could use the thick fog to create illusions and disrupt the mind. Of course, no matter how terrifying Lin Meng was in battle, he had a disadvantage. He was just a willow tree. Even if his individualbat strength was shocking, he could not leave the earth. "Hu..." He let out a deep breath. Lin Meng was also a little helpless. If he could pull out the roots of the tree and run under the setting sun, even humans would not be afraid. If they could not beat him, they would use the cannon. The world was so big, was there no ce for him to go? Unfortunately. His greatest helplessness was to take root in the earth and he could only quietly guard this canyon. ... And at this time, he seemed to have sensed something. Lin Meng''s heart moved. "I may not have the heart to use you as a test subject but who asked you to be the most disobedient?" Heughed mockingly. Lin Meng''s gaze had already arrived at the ground not far away. He stubbornly dug a hole. He wanted to leave the honey badger in the tree cage. Now, the honey badger, which had more than half of its injuries recovered, did not take the initiative to leave Lin Meng''s body. However, it still maintained its "reckless" nature. Other than going out to hunt within the time allowed by Lin Meng. The honey badger only wanted to get out of the tree cage that Lin Meng had imprisoned and then find other mutated animals to fight. If it wasn''t for the fact that this guy always knew how to bring his prey back when he was hunting... Lin Meng would have killed it long ago to give himself evolution points. Of course, considering the fact that the honey badger gave him evolution points... Lin Meng was just using the cage to keep him from causing trouble. However, this guy was also cute. It seemed that he was on the trunk of Lin Meng''s cage. Every time he saw Lin Meng raise the tree cage, he would let out a surprised cry. Then, his eyes would turn red as he began to bite the tree cage. When he realized that he could not bite the tree cage open, he began to dig the hole again. However, the deeper he dug, the deeper he dug. Up until now, he had dug twenty to thirty meters but he still had not escaped from the tree cage. When he thought of this, Lin Meng could not help butugh. Then, the branch gently swayed. Immediately after, a green branch had already sunk into a pitch-ck hole not far from the ground. A momentter. From the perspective of the branch, Lin Meng saw a honey badger that had been magnified several times. Like an excavator, it was riveted hard, and its pair of sharp ws couldn''t stop flying. Just once, just once. Quietly, Lin Meng slowed down the speed of the branch. Fortunately, the honey badger was focused on digging a hole, so it did not notice the iing branch. And just as it was about toe into contact with the honey badger... Lin Meng controlled the branches and suddenly elerated. Sizzle! It was like the sound of needles stabbing. The honey badger did not notice it. And just at this moment... Under Lin Meng''s expectant gaze, the honey badger''s movements suddenly stopped, and then it seemed to twitch. His legs flicked... "Is it paralyzed just like that?" Heughed in his heart. Lin Meng was also pleasantly surprised by the speed and terror of the poison. However, before Lin Meng could be more pleasantly surprised. "Roar..." A low roar made Lin Meng''s face stiffen slightly. He looked up and saw that the frozen honey badger actually shook its head. Then, as if nothing had happened, it began to dig again. "Uh... is this really a level 2 poison?" Seeing this, Lin Meng began to doubt life. Even a level 6 mutated beast couldn''t be paralyzed for half a day, so how could this poison threaten someone of the same level? "Haha..." A chuckle. A bell-like voice suddenly sounded in Lin Meng''s ear. Looking in the direction of the voice, Lin Meng found an illusory woman in a white dress sitting on his branch. She couldn''t help but cover her mouth andugh. "What are youughing at?" Chapter 37: The Genius Betty Chapter 37: The Genius Betty Lin Meng frowned, not understanding Betty''s joke. Ever since Lin Meng had let her control "Julie"''s body, she was as transparent as ss and seldom spoke. But Lin Meng also understood. The girl named Julie seemed to have been sent to a secret base by Jack. And ording to Julie, she was now studying all kinds of things all day long. It seemed to be not only about fighting and cultivating spiritual power. She was also studying all kinds ofmon knowledge. As a result, Betty naturally didn''t have much time to talk to Lin Meng. Controlling Julie''s body remotely to learn all kinds of knowledge was a very draining thing for spiritual power. As soon as Betty came back, her consciousness sank into the root of the tree and fell into a deep sleep. "Master, is there something that even you don''t know?" "Uh..." There was a rare silence. Lin Meng did not understand the meaning behind Betty''s words. "Honey badger, an omnivorous animal. It feeds on small mammals, birds, reptiles, carrion, wild fruits, nuts, and other things. It can eat poisonous snakes. ording to the records of the mutated beasts in the army, if this kind of beast sessfully mutates, their strength and resistance will be greatly increased. Of course, their innate immunity to poison will also be increased by several times." "Up until now, the mutated honey badgers that have been discovered are not afraid of lethal poison." As she said this, Betty also looked at the cave entrance in the distance with a strange expression. She asked with a half-joking smile, "So, my dear Master, if you use poison to bully the honey badger, you might as well use a branch to whip it..." Speechless. After being stunned for a long time, Lin Meng was also unable to say anything. This was the crushing of knowledge. Although he knew that the honey badger''s resistance to poison was very terrifying, he had a moment of fun and wanted to use the honey badger to try out the newly evolved poison. How could he have noticed this detail? Not to mention that there was another piece of news that he did not know. After the honey badger mutated. Its resistance to poison would increase exponentially. "Cough..." After a long while, Lin Meng coughed dryly as if he was trying to hide his embarrassment. Then, his gaze fell on Betty who was sitting on the treetop. He smiled and said, "Looks like you''ve gained a lot from the humans." He chuckled. Betty did not say anything. After a moment, she lifted a strand of hair that covered her eyes charmingly and gently stroked Lin Meng''s thick and sturdy tree trunk. "These are my gains from this period of time." As soon as she finished speaking, a series of images appeared in Lin Meng''s mind. It was as if he was watching a 3D movie from god''s perspective. In Lin Meng''s mind, he clearly saw that a girl named Julie had arrived at a mysterious ce. This ce was really mysterious. It seemed to be deep underground. Just by being in a ck elevator, Lin Meng felt that he had spent five to six minutes. Then, a huge city appeared in front of him. Yes, a city. A city built underground. Looking up, Lin Meng saw the huge door te with the words "Spirit Energy Research Institute" engraved on it. ... After an unknown amount of time, Lin Meng took a deep breath. When he looked up, he realized that Betty had already sunk into the roots of the tree and had chosen to sleep. "It''s been hard on you." He sighed. Lin Meng also realized how hard it had been on Betty these days. The Spirit Energy Research Institute was as simple as its name. It was an institution that studied spirit energy. However, it was more of an academy than an institution. That was because, other than many humans who had awakened their talents, there were many professors. And there were two reasons for the existence of this institution. One was naturally to study spirit energy. And the second was naturally to cultivate extraordinary humans. As for Julie, as a genius girl who had awakened her fire elemental talent, she was naturally noticed by many professors the moment she came here. In order to not disappoint Lin Meng''s expectations, she was trying her best to conceal her identity. Betty chose to act as an obedient girl and listen to the various arrangements made by the professors. However, it would be fine if she didn''t listen. Once she heard this, something big would happen. After all, while "Betty"''s body had awakened her fire elemental talent, she herself had also awakened her spiritual elemental talent. And what did this mean? The development of the brain-filling field. In addition to being able to use spiritual power to interfere with reality, it also showed that her learning speed far surpassed that of ordinary people. Under the surprised and delighted gazes of the professors, a monster that surpassed the imagination of countless people was born. In just half a day''s time. She hadpletely mastered a humannguage. In just a few hours, she had already learned the spiritual power cultivation method that humans imed to be the most difficult to cultivate... ... One record after another was broken. For a time, Julie became the most eye-catching girl in the Spiritual Energy Research Institute. Her resources were even more heavily inclined towards Julie. Of course, as a price, Julie had endless things to do every day. Apart from the necessary spiritual power cultivation, she had to learn all kinds of knowledge but every one of them was helpful to her. And understanding the habits and weaknesses of various mutated beasts. Was also one of herpulsory homework. In this way, Julie naturally understood the characteristic of the honey badger that was not afraid of lethal poison. ... Lin Meng looked at Betty, whose entire body was shining with starlight, and could not help but smack his mouth. "Tsk tsk..." He was not sure about other things but there was one thing that Lin Meng was sure of. It was that a "monster" that was abination of mutants and humans was about to be born. The others didn''t know but didn''t he know? Other than her two great talents, the fire element elemental talent and the spiritual talent, Betty also had a huge amount of human cultivation resources. On Lin Meng''s side, he had given her arge amount of life essence and even used tree roots to nourish her soul. Just thinking about this made Lin Meng''s scalp tingle. Not to mention, Betty was also cultivating so seriously. If this was the case, if she still couldn''t rise up, then probably no human would be able to rise up. "Fortunately, I have the golden finger''s evolution points in my hands. Otherwise, in time, I might not be able to suppress the rising Betty." Sighing in his heart, Lin Meng was somewhat surprised at Betty''s opportunity. This kind of opportunity was definitely the main character. But now, Betty was using his tree roots to nourish her soul. It could be said that she had already formed a kind of contract with him. Symbiosis? No, to be precise, it should be dependence. Betty needed to be attached to his existence. Without Lin Meng, there would be no Betty. It was also because of this that Lin Meng was very confident in Betty. Everything was under his control. And, in essence, there was no conflict of interest between them. One was a soul. Yhe other a tree. One was illusory, the other was physical, and both were outliers among outliers. Chapter 38: Disaster Level Chapter 38: Disaster Level In this extraordinary era, being able to meet was already a kind of fate. Moreover, supporting each other was fated to be the same. Therefore, from this point of view, Lin Meng''s heart had trained Betty as his confidant. And now, Betty had not let him down. In time, Betty would definitely be his right-hand man. Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s gaze towards Betty became gentler. Crack. As the branch broke, a drop of rich life essence slowly fell on Betty''s body. However, what Lin Meng didn''t realize was that the moment the life essence touched Betty. Betty, who was sleeping, suddenly smiled. "Master..." With a hint of attachment, Betty fell into a deeper sleep. ... Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already winter. Heavy snow fluttered in the depths of the mountains. The sky and earth were covered in white. Snowkes fell from the sky, making the earth appear somewhat dazzling under the gaze of the eyes. However, even when the heavy snow fell, the fog in the valley still didn''t disperse. The fog covered the mountains. However, this was not the most terrifying thing. The truly terrifying thing was that the fog had already covered hundreds of mountains. At this time, if one looked down from the sky... They would definitely be quite shocked. It was over 100 kilometers long and 30 to 40 kilometers wide. Hundreds of mountains were covered in the fog. Every few hundred meters, there was a mountain peak. Fortunately, the fog only spread in the mountains and did not spread to the city. Otherwise, what they were waiting for was not for the human army to station outside the mountains and be vignt of the situation in the mountains. Instead, it was for real guns and cannons to bombard the mountains. However, would the humans'' proudest act of dumping goods really have any effect on the fog that was life-like? Lin Meng, who was deep in the mountains, revealed a strange smile. A few months had passed. During these days, Lin Meng didn''t do much. Apart from maintaining the fog''s spread, another thing he did was to use the evolution points from his "pets" to continuously strengthen himself. For a few months, hundreds and thousands of evolution points were used to strengthen his thousands of branches. It had to be said that the consumption was really terrifying. However,pared to the consumption, the harvest was worth it. At this moment, if one looked up at the Beiyu Canyon. One would definitely see a green waterfall that was dozens of meters wide descending from the sky. This was the thousands of branches that Lin Meng had strengthened. Each branch was at level 2 ording to its rank. Not to mention the others, just thebat strength of a single branch was enough to kill an ordinary level 7 or 8or even level 9 mutated beast. And now, Lin Meng had hundreds of such branches. One could imagine how terrifying it would be if hundreds of branches were killed at the same time. Heaven copsing? Earth-shattering? What was even more shocking was that Lin Meng''s branches had already reached a range of about 100 meters. In other words, within a radius of 100 meters, everything had be his domain. "Hu..." After taking a deep breath, Lin Meng finally felt the true meaning of power. ording to the human''s ssification of peak spiritual power, his current peak spiritual power was at least 70,000 to 80,000. And such terrifying spiritual power, if it appeared on a mutated beast... ording to Lin Meng''s guess, this mutated beast could destroy a county in half a day. Of course, as a willow tree, Lin Meng didn''t have such ability. However, if a beast with a peak spiritual power of 70,000 to 80,000 appeared within a few hundred meters of its body. Lin Meng was confident that it wouldn''t live past the next day. This was Lin Meng''s confidence. In closebat, Lin Meng was invincible. Those who dared to offend him within a white rice field were either not born or had already be a corpse. With a chuckle, Lin Meng''s confidence increased. The current him was among the peak existences of transcendent tier one. He only needed to strengthen the tree root once more and then borrow evolution points to have a chance of breaking through to transcendent tier two. And what did transcendent tier 2 mean? Hundreds of thousands of peak spiritual power. Just a casual movement of his body was enough to shatter the world and break the river. Just like the current Lin Meng, although he only had 70,000 to 80,000 peak spiritual power. But if he chose to explode, his terrifying battle prowess wasparable to an ordinary transcendent tier 2. In an instant, he could destroy the two to three hundred meters long Beiyu Canyon. It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that he would even raze it to the ground. And ording to what Betty had heard from the humans... A transcendent-level tier 2 could already be considered a disaster. However, let''s talk about transcendent-level tier 1 first. In the past few months, a transcendent-level tier 1 mutated beast was no longer a legend. Just like in the depths of the ocean, such a terrifying monster was already verymon. And how terrifying was such an extraordinary tier one mutated beast? Or even a sea monster? They were already close to demonizing and possessed a basic level of self-thinking consciousness. They were able to keenly sense danger and deal with it. What was even more shocking was that such a monster was no longer afraid of bullets and other hot weapons. Itsbat strength was extremely terrifying. Among the discoveries that humans had made, a mutated octopus with a peak spiritual force of over 80,000 had wreaked havoc in the waters near the country of cherry blossoms. It had even sessfully sunk a 10,000-ton cargo ship. And because of this, the entire human race knew how terrifying a transcendent-level 1 was. It was not an existence that ordinary firearms could kill. If there were more and more mutated beasts of this level, it would be enough to threaten the entire human race. For this, experts from hundreds of countries walked to the front and started the first international discussion. However, it was fortunate that after 10 days of research, they came to an unquestionable conclusion. It was to be a transcendent-level 1. It was very difficult. Very difficult. It was a leap in the level of life and even a true sublimation of the soul. As a result, the entire human race felt a little more at ease. However, not long after the people felt more at ease, the true undercurrent was surging. That was because the Chinese Federation and the Freedom Alliance across the Pacific Ocean had discovered a terrifying fact. That there is a second order beyond the first order of transcendence. The body is surging with hundreds of thousands of spiritual power, which is the true meaning of the embodiment of disaster. If, say, transcendence one is merely a threat to a city... So, transcendent level two, able to destroy cities at will, definitely not just talk. Their existence is both a disaster and a ruin. Unless humanity took out their national weaponnuclear weaponsit would not be an easy matter to wipe them out in an absolute sense. Chapter 39: Discovery of a Spirit Stone Mine Chapter 39: Discovery of a Spirit Stone Mine Of course, the possibility of using the army to pile them to death was not ruled out. Therefore, transcendent-level 2, also known as the "disaster level," was a life form that had a high possibility of causing great damage to cities and towns. What was worth mentioning here was that even if they were both transcendent-level 2 disaster levels, their strength would be different depending on their race and spirit energy. A weak cmity grade might even cause some armies to pile up and die. And a powerful cmity grade might cause a country to face a national crisis. For example, a small country like the cherry blossom country. If they didn''t have the support of the Federation, a powerful cmity grade would be enough to destroy the entire cherry blossom country. ... "Hu..." He let out a deep breath. Lin Meng''s heart was burning with passion. Transcendent-level 2. As long as he reached transcendent-level 2, he would be able to threaten a country like the small Sakura Country. One could imagine how exciting this was. Although it wasn''t enough to make arge country like the Federation fear him, the strength of a transcendent-level 2 expert would be something that thoserge countries wouldn''t be able to ignore. Of course, Lin Meng was definitely thinking about the powerful disaster level. As for the weak disaster level. Sorry, with its foundation, it was impossible for it to be one. No matter what, Lin Meng had the underground spirit river to support him. And he had the support of the golden finger. If Lin Meng was given enough time to develop, it would be too unjustifiable for him to be rated as a weak disaster level. Thinking of this, Lin Meng couldn''t help but think of a transcendent-level 2 and above, a transcendent-level 3 with a million spirit energy. If the human side''s deduction was correct. The strength of a transcendent-level 3 wasn''t something small countries could deal with. Only arge country could deal with a terrifying existence. And such an existence in the human world had a taboo name: "disaster level." It was a cmity and also a disaster. Unless there was an existence of the same level in the human world. Otherwise, the human world could only deal with it with nuclear weapons. Of course, it was just dealing with it. ording to the deduction of the Spirit Energy Research Institute, even if millions of spirit energy were gathered together, it would be enough to create an invisible stance, which could resist nuclear weapons to a certain extent. Not to mention, some mutated beasts were best at defense. If it really was this kind of mutated beast that was good at defense and turned into a transcendent-level 3 disaster grade beast, please be prepared to use the strength of arge country. Because that would definitely be the most terrifying disaster. And this was the truly terrifying part of the revival of spiritual energy and the descent of the era of transcendence. At that moment, Lin Meng was in the canyon. He raised his gaze and looked at the misty mountain. Lin Meng was also filled with deep anticipation. It was impossible for him to reach transcendent-level 3 in a short period of time. After all, he was a willow tree and was different from other mutated beasts. If he wanted to evolve, he could only umte his foundation. As for other mutated beasts, if they wanted to evolve, they would only need some opportunities. When they encountered an opportunity, they would evolve crazily. It was not impossible for them to break through to transcendent-level 3. Once such a transcendent-level 3 was born, the conflict between humans and mutated beasts would erupt. At that time, a true era of transcendence would descendpletely. Thinking of this, Lin Meng smiled bitterly. He didn''t even have a tier 2 transcendence, and he was already thinking about a tier 3 transcendence. Immediately, he pulled his gaze back to the depths of the earth. In a moment, what entered his eyes was a huge that stretched thousands of meters deep into the cracks of the rocks. It squeezed into the depths of the earth, weaving into a huge made of tree roots. And this was also Lin Meng''s greatest trump card. If he was forced into a corner, he could instantly overturn several kilometers ofnd and achieve a true ''great earthquake.'' This power was no different from a full-strength attack from a transcendent-level 2 creature. However, although the tree roots were Lin Meng''s greatest trump card... They were also his greatest weakness. The tree roots were the root of the tree''s growth. If the tree roots were damaged, it would affect Lin Meng greatly. Moreover, the tree roots could only take root here and could not move, which made Lin Meng really ufortable. Just as Lin Meng was thinking, he suddenly heard a voice. "Master, do you like snow?" He looked towards the direction where the voice came from. A girl with long hair stood quietly on the white snowy ground. She was dressed in red and her figure was blurry like a ghost. A pair of beautiful eyes were staring at the snow-covered ground. The girl''s eyes were filled with charm. It was Betty. She had entered the ninth level. She was just one step away from stepping into the first level of the extraordinary realm. Compared to before, her figure was even more corporeal. However, there was a hint of mist in her corporeal form, as though she could switch at will. Of course, the most important thing was that the current Betty really had the feeling of a beauty. Not only was her figure beautiful, but even her temperament was also extremely beautiful. Seeing this, Lin Meng said calmly, "I don''t really like snow. As a nt, I don''t think I would like winter." "That''s true..." When Betty spoke to Lin Meng, her gaze was always filled with respect, admiration, yearning, and... In short, her eyes were veryplicated. In the past few months, not only did Lin Meng grow but Betty also grew. It was just that she grew too fast. Not only in terms of strength but also in terms of temperament. However, this couldn''t be helped. During the day, she wasn''t called Betty but was called Julie. She was one of the most famous geniuses in the various spiritual energy research institutes. At such a young age, she had already be an eighth level advanced stage expert, even among the entire human race. Some people called her the "me Princess." As a soul, in order not to expose her identity, she could only wear this mask called "Julie" better. In Lin Meng''s words, if the mask was worn for too long, it wouldn''te off. As a result, Betty''s true personality had been affected, resulting in her bing more human. Yes, human nature. Simply put, her thoughts had be moreplicated and her thoughts had be more numerous. It was because she had be more human that, when Betty looked at Lin Meng, there was always aplicated look in her eyes. It was soplicated that even Lin Meng could see that something was strange. "Betty, has something big happened on the human side?" Feeling angry and embarrassed, Lin Meng could only helplessly change the topic. "Something big?" Holding her delicate chin, Betty rested her head on the thick tree trunk as if she was in deep thought. After a moment, as if she had thought of something, her eyes flickered slightly as she replied,"Recently, a natural spirit stone mine seems to have been discovered in the northwest region. Because of this, more than ten spirit energy research institutes are fighting over it." Spirit stone mine? Lin Meng was stunned for a long time but he still couldn''t react. Seeing Lin Meng''s confusion, Betty continued to exin, "Spirit stones refer to special ores that contain arge amount of spirit energy. The spirit energy in these ores is very pure and it seems to be able to be absorbed directly. They are also one of the few substances that humans have discovered so far that can speed up cultivation." Chapter 40: The Hunt Began Chapter 40: The Hunt Began "There are even experts who have analyzed that the appearance of the spirit stone mine will allow humans to catch up to the evolution of other extraordinary creatures in a short period of time." Listening to Betty''s exnation, Lin Meng''s branches could not help but tremble. Shock. "It can still be like this? Doesn''t this mean that the greatest advantage of extraordinary creatures is gone?" Although he had thought that humans would find a way to catch up to the evolution of other extraordinary creatures... But when he really heard it, Lin Meng was still a little dumbfounded. This came too suddenly. Seeing Lin Meng''s nervousness, Bettyforted him, "Master, this is just an expert''s analysis. The credibility is not high." "I feel that it''s the truth." After casually replying, Lin Meng became more certain in his heart. Even his roots were absorbing the underground spirit river. How could humans not absorb the pure spirit energy contained in the spirit stone mine? Moreover, this could not help but remind him of some ancient immortal cultivation legends. In those legends, humans'' talent was not as good as other races and species. In the end, they relied on the spirit stone mine and many other spiritual items to cultivate, bing a peerless expert in one fell swoop. And now, the situation of the humans was exactly the same as those. Things became impatient again. As such, his progress in all aspects had to be elerated, so that he could be strong enough. Hum hum hum... Thinking of this, Lin Meng''s gaze was drawn to the sky. One after another, eight peregrine falcons that were as fast as flowing light appeared. In his field of vision. Lin Meng''s eight pets. As their strength grew stronger, the other mutated beasts grewrger andrger. As for their eight peregrine falcons, their bodies actually became smaller and smaller. Of course, even if they became smaller, they couldn''t ignore how terrifying they were. At this moment, they had already entered the 7th rank. The ck wings pped slightly, sweeping away the snow in the air. What was even more shocking was that when they wanted to dive down, one side of their wings turned into a bolt of ck lightning. Swish. In the blink of an eye, they flew past the cliff and disappeared without a trace. "These guys are bing more and more like the overlords of the sky." As he muttered, Lin Meng''s eyes lit up. The peregrine falcon was his eye in the sky. It was also the only method that Lin Meng could use to control the sky. With the strength of the eight of them and the help of the white crane that had entered level six... They had truly dominated the skies of the misty mountains. Up until now, there weren''t any birds in the misty mountains that dared to challenge them. However, if it was before, Lin Meng would have been satisfied. But now, after learning that humans could use spirit stone mines to speed up their cultivation, Lin Meng couldn''t sit still anymore. "Hu..." He took a deep breath. Lin Meng''s gaze shifted. In front of him was ake. It was something Lin Meng had previously opened up, which could effectively speed up the cultivation of the mutated beasts under him. And now, in the middle of the spiritke, there was a white crane lightly touching the surface of theke. It spread its wings, stretched its neck, and raised its head to spray water. It was very beautiful. This was Lin Meng''s most clean and noble petthe white crane. Species: Mutated White Crane. Level: Entry Level 6. Innate Talent: Crane''s Crysharp cry. Enough to break rocks. Special Ability: White Crane''s Wingsits wings were like des, enough to cut through most materials... It was another pet with goodbat ability. However,pared to actualbat, it could not beat the peregrine falcon even if it risked its life. It had been taught a lesson by the peregrine falcon several times. It was also for this reason that the white crane obediently submitted to Lin Meng and sought protection. "It''s time to send them out to hunt." With a thought, Lin Meng used the branches to transmit some information to their minds. "Hum, hum, hum..." The eight peregrine falcons and white cranes spread their wings and flew up. Without waiting for the other mutated animals to react, they turned into streaks of light and flew in one direction. And there happened to be a colony of mutated bees there. As Lin Meng''s eyes and ears, the peregrine falcons and white cranes had already grasped the position of 80% of the mutated creatures in the misty mountains. Now, with Lin Meng''s instructions, they could naturally and quickly snipe the target. Lin Meng''s gaze was drawn to the horizon. In his line of sight, there was a ck curtain that covered the sky. It was densely packed as if there were no end to it. Bees. And not just any ordinary bees. Just by looking at the sharp stingers and fierce eyes, one could see everything. "These guys are really ruthless." Looking at the peregrine falcons flying toward the canyon with a ck beehive that was several meters tall, Lin Meng could not help but sigh. He had only asked these little guys to lure the bees over but he didn''t expect them to be so ruthless. They actually brought the beehive over directly. It was no wonder that these mutated bees would chase after them like crazy. "Hum..." Looking at the familiar canyon not far away, the peregrine falcons let out a surprised cry. Immediately after, they spread their wings and dragged a corner of the beehive to quickly rush over. At this moment, the beehive, which was several meters tall, suddenly shook. ck and ferocious heads poked out from the dark holes. No words were spoken. These fellows, whose auras were obviously much stronger than the other bees, had a hint of red light in the depths of their eyes. Then, they all turned into arrows that left the bowstring and shot straight at the peregrine falcon. A buzzing sound was heard like thunder. The sharp bee stings stabbed toward the peregrine falcon fiercely. However, perhaps the bee stings came too fast, as the peregrine falcon with the beehive could not dodge in time. Only a "bang" was heard. Like a collision of metal, a burst of sparks was produced. The peregrine falcon shot toward the ground like a cannonball. Bang! Snow flew up from the snowy ground and a bottomless hole appeared. "This explosion?" Lin Meng was a little shocked as he watched. A mere level 4 honeybee was actually able to st the peregrine falcon into the ground. It had to be said that these honeybees had some strength. However, was this really good? A burst of violent spiritual energy slowly rose. Boom! Snow danced wildly in the sky and the cold wind whistled. For a moment, the entirend was enveloped by a cold killing intent. Wild beasts were still wild beasts after all. Even if they were raised by Lin Meng, their violent blood would not be extinguished. And as the top of the food chain, the peregrine falcon was even more so. "Hum..." A high-pitched neigh tore through the wind and snow. Then... Ripp! A ck bolt of lightning actually shed out from the hole in the ground. Fast. As fast as lightning, it disappeared in a sh. Without waiting for the bee to react, the ck and sharp beak had already torn the bee''s body apart. Ripp! There was another sound. The sound of tearing was clear and crisp, along with blood sshing in the sky. Facing Biggy, who had already reached level seven, this bee was only at level four. So what if it reached the same level in time. It could easily break through the speed of sound at a terrifying speed, enough for peregrine falcons to ignore most of their own kind. "Hum..." There was another sound. It drew a Z in the air until another bee left. At this time, Lin Meng, who was quietly watching this scene, did not make a move immediately. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
