Chapter 3 Evolution! Breakthrough!

Of course, he was just thinking about devouring the mutant wild boar.

Now that he really met it, it was estimated that he would not devour the other party, but the mutant wild boar would break the tree trunk.

Of course, he still had to have dreams. He couldn't beat it now, but he should be able to evolve a few times.

The next step was to add points. 25 points of spiritual energy could directly increase the length of his tree roots from 27 meters to 32 meters.

Then he continued to hunt boringly.

As he imagined, the number of insects was getting smaller and smaller, and it was steadily decreasing every hour.

If the income from the mutant frogs was not counted, the spiritual energy he harvested in the third hour was reduced to 14 points.

It was reduced to 13 points in the fourth hour.

8 points in the fifth hour.

5 points in the sixth hour.

There was no way around it. As Ye Feng continued to devour, the number of insects around him would definitely decrease sharply.

Fortunately, even in this situation, at 12 o'clock in the morning, Ye Feng finally achieved his goal.

He had completed 100 points of adding points, and the length of the tree roots had reached a full 40 meters.

At the same time, he can get 1 evolution point for every 10 points added.

The evolution points on the system panel have also reached the maximum value of 10 points.

Finally, it can evolve.

"Ding! Please select the direction of strengthening."

Looking at the pop-up system prompt, Ye Feng was slightly surprised, and then checked the details.

It turns out that when evolving, in addition to improving the tree body in all directions, the ability of a certain direction of the body can also be specifically strengthened.

For example, in terms of the length of the roots, the four aspects of strength, flexibility, toughness, and repair speed can be strengthened.

Although the direction of strengthening is similar for each part of the body, there will be certain differences.

The height of the tree body can increase the speed of spiritual energy absorption.

The width of the trunk can increase the upper limit of energy storage, etc.

Of course, Ye Feng will only consider the length of the roots now.

The first thing he thought of was to increase strength, but after repeated consideration, he finally chose to enhance the flexibility of the roots.

Nowadays, what he lacks most is flexibility.

If his roots were flexible enough, when he caught the mutant frog before, the other party would have no chance to escape.

Before the frog could react, more than a dozen tree roots rushed up and could imprison it firmly.

After Ye Feng made his choice, he officially began to evolve.

A strange energy enveloped his whole body.

With the help of this strange energy, his whole body was undergoing drastic changes. The tree body was growing rapidly, the trunk became thicker, and the roots were constantly extending.

He felt that his body and mind had been sublimated.

The evolution time was not long, only 5 minutes had passed, but he had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Ye Feng immediately opened the system panel to check.

Host: Ye Feng (World Tree)

Tree height: 15 meters

Tree trunk width: 0.75 meters

Root length: 50 meters

Realm: First-order middle stage

Evolution points: 0/10 points

Special ability: Devouring

Aura value: 0/150 points

Bioenergy: 20/150 points

Realm has broken through from the first-order early stage to the first-order middle stage.

The three attributes have also increased greatly.

The height of the tree increased by 5 meters, the width of the trunk increased by 0.25 meters, and the length of the roots increased by 10 meters.

"It has increased so much, the height has soared to 15 meters. If I continue to evolve like this, I am afraid I will stand out in this valley!" Ye Feng couldn't help but mutter.

In this valley, the tallest tree is only more than 50 meters, and the rest of the trees rarely exceed 20 meters. Now he has suddenly jumped a lot higher and has become a bit conspicuous.

If he evolves again and breaks through to the late stage of the first stage, the height of the tree will catch up with the first echelon.

"As long as my height does not exceed the 300-meter giant tree on Xiaofeng Mountain, the research institute will not target me for the time being, right?" Ye Feng was a little nervous. He didn't want to be a research object.

But he quickly adjusted his mentality, "Don't worry about it, improving strength is the most important thing. It's impossible to stop eating because of choking."

With the breakthrough of strength, he is not just as simple as becoming taller, in fact, all aspects have improved.

Strength, toughness and repair speed have all been improved to varying degrees. If another mutant frog comes, it will not be possible for the other party to tear the tree roots directly.

However, this overall enhancement is definitely not as good as the ability he has specially strengthened.

A tree root drilled out of the soil. Before, he could only control the tree root to whip or simply tie it.

More complex actions cannot be performed.

But now it is obviously much more flexible, and can even write on the ground with the tree root.

Although the font is a little crooked, it is undoubtedly a great improvement.

At the same time, the attack speed and movement speed of the tree root are twice as fast as before.

"Before, my success rate in hunting crickets was only about 70%, but now it can be increased to 100%." ​​After getting familiar with it for a while, Ye Feng made a judgment.

The next step is to continue to improve.

It only took 6 hours to complete the first evolution, which is naturally worth rejoicing.

But the problem has not been solved. The insects passing through his territory are still decreasing.

"If this continues, it will probably take a day to gather enough evolution points for the second breakthrough, and the speed of the breakthrough will probably get slower and slower."

"This is still in my territory, which is constantly expanding." Ye Feng sighed in his heart.

Of course, there are solutions.

After he quickly swept the earthworms in the ground and the insects on the ground, he aimed directly at the sky this time.

It was wishful thinking for a tree to hunt targets in the air before.

But now his taproot has reached 50 meters in length, and even the lateral roots are 40 meters long.

Now that the flexibility of the tree roots has increased, he can already make a large net with the roots.

If there are birds flying at a low altitude of less than 40 meters, he has at least 60% chance of catching them with the tree net.

In addition, there are some cicadas on several nearby trees, especially on a banyan tree on the right, there is a bird's nest.

These can all become his food.

Ye Feng glanced around, and there were no birds at this time.

So his first target was the cicadas that were still chirping on the ginkgo tree next door.

A tree root broke out of the ground and quickly went up along the trunk.

But the root stopped halfway up.

Ye Feng was a little surprised to find that when the root was on the trunk of this ginkgo tree, his devouring ability could actually be used.

"Yes! Since my devouring ability can devour the spiritual energy and bioenergy in all organisms, it naturally includes trees."

At this moment, Ye Feng seemed to have discovered a new treasure, and his tone was full of uncontrollable excitement.

The devouring ability was activated immediately, and the spiritual energy and bioenergy were immediately absorbed from the ginkgo tree.

"It works!"

As Ye Feng devoured, the leaves of the ginkgo tree began to turn yellow, and the part entangled by his roots withered.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng's excitement disappeared immediately.

Because he thought of a very serious problem.

Although he can devour other trees and grow quickly.

But if you do this, it won't take a few days for the surroundings to become bare.

When it evolves a few more times, as his tree trunk grows taller, it will be even more eye-catching.

I guess a satellite can find something wrong by just scanning this valley.

"This won't work. If the trees wither, not only will I be discovered, but I'm afraid that other mutants will not dare to approach, which will weaken a lot of spiritual energy in disguise." Ye Feng was a little distressed at this moment.

He felt that if the ginkgo tree in front of him absorbed the other party, it could provide at least 30 points of spiritual energy.

It would be a pity to give it up.

"Hmm?" Ye Feng, who was thinking about what to do, suddenly found that the spiritual energy in the ginkgo tree had increased a little bit.

Although it was very weak, he still caught it.

He reacted instantly. These trees are also constantly absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.

"That is to say, the spiritual energy in these trees is a renewable resource!" At this moment, Ye Feng's excited tree roots trembled a little.

He could just wait for the trees around him to absorb the spiritual energy on their own, and then harvest them at regular intervals.

As long as they don't absorb too much spiritual energy at once, it won't have a big impact on the growth of the trees.

"Yes, this is the best way to develop."

"Later, I can even let the entire forest support my growth."
