Chapter 171: Removing mountains and reclaiming seas
There are vast and flat grasslands in the eastern continent with very few locals. Most of the pixelated people have migrated to the twin cities in the western continent.
Nowadays, this area is more like a dangerous and vast hunting ground. Hunters and adventurers come here to hunt and capture live antelopes, wild horses, and even wolves and lions. Many people have died here.
Due to the existence of the local supernatural creature Fiery Turkey, the change of era has little impact on the Eastern Continent.
Lu Yao set the experimental field in the Eastern Continent because, firstly, it has a complete and stable ecological chain, secondly, there is no influence from the pixelated villains, and thirdly, the area is large enough.
To release a brand new species, a stable and balanced environment is necessary.
Otherwise, when a new species comes in and encounters a group of man-eating crabs or a group of fish chasers, the mortality rate will be very high.
Lu Yao fixed his perspective on the westernmost side of the East Continent. There was an oval-shaped bulge here, which was just right.
He pointed out the miracle [earthquake].
The animals were frightened and fled in all directions as the earth trembled. The turkeys also wisely retreated to inland areas to avoid natural disasters.
Continuous earthquakes plowed through the ground on the eastern continent, forming a deep trench that almost cut the oval area directly from the main continent, causing the land on both sides to rise, forming two brand new mountains and ridge lines.
Lu Yao also used [Hurricane] on a large scale, assisted by [Lightning] and [Rainfall], to scare away the creatures in the surrounding area as much as possible and reduce unnecessary damage.
He used miracles to repeatedly change the landscape to separate the experimental area and the eastern continent as much as possible.
The valley between the two places becomes deeper and deeper, and the mountains rise accordingly. Sea water flows in from both sides, turning into a wide and steep strait.
Lu Yao then focused his attention on the oval test site, and further used earthquakes in the surrounding areas to squeeze out mountains and enclose the central part into a large basin, retaining the local plains and part of the woods.
There are also some small animals in the basin, including monkeys and squirrels in the trees, voles in the soil, and some flying birds. They stayed for various reasons.
The entire landform transformation project, which Lu Yao scratched and painted, consumed 283 [earthquakes], 77 [hurricanes], 12 [lightning] and 4 [rainfalls].
The total cost is up to 13910 points of faith.
This is only the initial topographic change of a small piece of land.
If his faith reserves were not strong enough, Lu Yao would not have dared to carry out regional transformation in such a drastic way.
After setting up the basic framework, the next step is to launch.
Lu Yao opened the transparent plastic box on the table.
There are three black beetles in the box, which are pet insects purchased online. They are called Chinese giant spades. They are dark brown in color, have a flat body, and have well-developed jaws, like a pair of serrated pliers, and have a rather powerful appearance.
Although this kind of beetle has an aggressive personality, it feeds on tree sap and fruits and moves slowly. Lu Yao chose it because he hoped to increase the diversity of extraordinary creatures, and because he personally liked it as a child.
He released the first beetle into the pixel world.
[Unknown stag beetle dimensionality reduction is in progress...]
Under the black beetle icon, the progress bar runs out bit by bit.
Lu Yao dragged it to the test basin, released the mouse and placed it. The stag beetle immediately came to life, with its strong body crawling around on the ground.
A new prompt pops up in the simulator.
【Unknown stag beetle enters this world.】
…
[Unknown stag armor LV1]
HP:62/62
Mana:1/1
Damage:3
Defense:6
Speed:3
【strong】
The health value is higher than the normal level, and the fighting spirit can be maintained for a long time.
…
Lu Yao waited patiently.
After about ten minutes, a prompt appears on the display.
[Unknown stag beetle has successfully integrated into the world.]
You name it ___.
Lu Yao said in his heart that it was indeed true.
As long as the released animal can survive in the wild for a period of time, the simulator will determine that it has integrated into the world. To a certain extent, it is faster than passing through the hands of pixel villains, but it is also less controllable.
Lu Yao named it [Dousha Jia].
Then, he released the remaining two stag beetles into the experimental continent in batches.
There are no unexpected variations this time, they are all the same [Fighting Spade Armor].
In the experimental basin, except for the female stag beetle, the two male [fighting stag beetles] had sex as soon as they met, with the two sets of antlers clamping and poking each other on the upper jaws.
Lu Yao knew that the stag beetles were fighting for territory. As a result, no one could do anything to anyone, and no one could break each other's defenses. The scene of wrestling with each other was very lively, but it was all in vain.
After a while, the two of them dispersed, as if they were meeting friends in martial arts.
What follows is a period of quiet development.
The stag beetles began to gnaw on the leaves. Their body size stopped changing when they reached the size of a wild boar. Their levels increased rapidly, and they also reached LV5. After reaching this point, they stopped growing at a high speed.
Then, a male stag beetle launched its target into the outside world.
It flapped its wings and left the basin, flew across the strait, and landed on the opposite shore, where it was attacked by the Fiery Turkey.
Many extraordinary creatures have a strong sense of territoriality.
The physical defense could not withstand the forced blood deduction caused by the flames. The stag beetle was burned by the flames of the fierce turkey and retreated all the way, finally escaping back to the basin of the experimental area.
The three fighting stag beetles returned to their peaceful life in the past. They devoured the leaves in the forest, eating and sleeping. Slowly, the second generation of little stag beetles was born.
The fighting stag beetle family is slowly multiplying and growing.
Lu Yao started to release the next species.
He opened another box, which contained six green pupae.
This is the pupa of the Citrus Papilion butterfly, which can hatch into a butterfly.
Lu Yao carefully placed the pupa on the mouse.
Unlike the stag beetle, there is a clearer reason for pupal release.
Butterflies can spread pollen, which is beneficial to the growth and hybridization of various plants in the entire world. After dimensionality reduction, they will become extraordinary creatures, with lifespan and survivability far exceeding ordinary insects. In theory, they will have a certain promotion effect on plants in the entire pixel world.
.
[Unknown butterfly chrysalis is in the process of dimensionality reduction...]
The progress of pupa is very fast.
Lu Yao placed it in a relatively safe mountain col and kept an eye on the surroundings to prevent other animals from interfering with the incubation process.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, the pupa began to emerge, and a blue butterfly slowly spread its wings and flew.
A prompt appears on the screen.
【Unknown butterfly enters this world.】
Lu Yao named it [Green Swallowtail]
…
【Green Swallowtail LV1】
HP:22/22
Mana:10/10
Damage: 2
Defense:1
Speed:8
【Scale powder】
When it vibrates its wings, it releases scale powder, causing illusory light and scenery to appear around it.
…
The green swallowtail butterfly flew between the woods and grass, bringing out patches of phosphorescence. Then it emerged from the pupa. The butterfly was cautious about the entire pixel world and flew around the basin.
Lu Yao reduced the dimensions of the remaining five pupae into the simulator in one go.
However, this time only four were successful and one failed.
In addition to the [Green Swallowtail], a special species was also reduced through dimensionality reduction, which Lu Yao named [Stink Swallowtail].
The stink swallowtail butterfly and the green swallowtail butterfly have basically the same colors and panels, but have different abilities.
…
【stench】
When in danger, it will release a stench that will make enemies sick and vomit.
…
It looks like it has better survivability.
After doing all this, Lu Yao felt a little sleepy.
He summoned Apostle Philus and gave it an order: to keep an eye on the experimental area, observe the follow-up situation of these two new species, and provide certain protection if necessary.
The skeletons are experienced and well suited for this task.
Philus, who serves as a biological observer, is officially stationed in the Divine Creation Basin in the Eastern Continent.
…
The tired Lu Yao returned to his room. He locked the door, closed the curtains, and lay on the bed with his back up.
"Low heat, press for fifteen minutes."
"Yes, Lord God."
The cactus in the flowerpot shook off the mud on its body, wiped its body clean with a paper towel, and then carefully walked all the way to the God's generous back and started massaging...
On this calm night, a brand-new species that had never existed before was born in the basin of the experimental area.
It will stand on top of the pyramid of the basin for quite some time.
