Time is like sand between fingers, constantly passing by.
It has been half a month since a group of animals returned to the Amro Valley.
When the wild leopards and the elephant girls first arrived in the valley, they were not only shocked but also shocked. They were even more grateful to Xiao Meng and the male leopards. Even the elephant herd, which had always been led by the female elephant, transferred its leader to Xiao Meng.
Because the density of vitality here is too high, the so-called deficiency cannot be replenished. Ye Bao, who has never been exposed to vitality, is still a little uncomfortable and has a lot of problems.
Fortunately, after half a month of nourishment, the wild leopard slowly began to adapt and began the process of evolution. Under the tutelage of the male leopard, it also began to slowly interact with humans.
The road of evolution was very bumpy. The wild leopard was horrified to find that the animals in the valley were so perverted. He even wanted to catch a rabbit for a tooth ceremony, but unexpectedly he was knocked unconscious by the little rabbit.
Then he tried to catch a pheasant to beat its teeth as a sacrifice, but the pheasant flew onto his back, causing blood to drip from his back, and a lot of blood holes were pecked out.
Then I saw a slow and slow turtle the size of a basin by the stream: "I can't do anything about the fast guy. I can always bully this slow guy like you."
"Haha! Let's see how you escape!" The wild leopard kept its feet on the back of the turtle, raised its head and laughed, quite proud of the spring breeze. The shadow of hunting during this period was gone.
The turtle's limbs kept moving, obviously panicked, and it kept making screams.
After catching the turtle easily this time, the wild leopard finally found his confidence. Well, as for bullying his little friends, the wild leopard has no idea at all...
Unexpectedly, before the wild leopard could feel at ease and finish expressing his feelings about the scene, he was dragged into the stream by a sudden huge turtle, and then almost had his teeth beaten by the giant turtle.
After exerting all his strength, the wild leopard finally escaped the pursuit of the giant turtle.
The wild leopard lay under the roots of the tree, looking into the distance, crying in his heart, so sad. So sad...
I thought I was also the overlord of the forest back then, but I never imagined that after I came here, I would be bullied back even when I bullied my little friends...
The extremely miserable wild leopard starved for several days, almost starving himself to the point of being reduced to skin and bones. In the end, he was rescued by his bright and upright reborn parent, Brother Leopard, so that he could have food to eat.
Of course, the wild leopard automatically ignored the unethical process of acting like a scoundrel and hugging his legs and crying.
After getting along with each other for a period of time, other animals and humans in the valley finally got to know this guy. He was more shameless than a male leopard. He was thicker-skinned than a male leopard. He was even more dishonest than a male leopard.
In the end, the male leopard followed Aoki's instructions and drove the novice's little brother out of the Amuro Valley and the surrounding areas. With its ability, it was not that it would eat others, but others would eat it. It would be better to drive it out.
And Xiaomeng's elephant girls were also tortured to death.
The plants in the valley are all evolved plants. Their various complex and changeable, extremely abnormal defense weapons (toxicity, pungent taste) are not something new 'people' like them can stomach.
Only the animals in the valley that are constantly evolving and adapting can withstand their delicious taste without being poisoned to death. It can also be said that these animals are actually a collection of large poisons.
Therefore, the elephant girls had to stay away from the valley, and only after slowly evolving could they return here.
August is coming soon, and there is still no sign of the crystal monster during this period. For some reason, Aoki has a premonition that there won't be any monster attacks this year.
However, just in case, Aoki arranged for the leopard, golden eagle and others.
Since plants played a positive role in early warning last year, Aoki also gave instructions this year.
As for the plants that performed well last year, Aoki also used wood energy particles to stimulate them, speeding up their evolution and successfully advancing to the second level. Aoki was surprised to find that the plants stimulated by his own wood particles evolved to the second level.
These plants have evolved the ability to absorb the energy of wood particles.
As if to prove the saying 'evolution is contagious', as time goes by, more and more plants have evolved to the second level in the valley and throughout Amuro and even Banna, with various abilities.
At first, some humans saw the trees being attacked, and then more and more people were attacked, which attracted the attention of humans.
Finally, after research in the base, a notice was issued saying that some plants have evolved to the second level and have attack capabilities.
After the announcement came out, human society did not react much. There are a lot of people who can communicate with plants, and since animals can evolve to the second level, what difficulties does it have for plants to evolve to the second level?
However, after the plant evolves to the second level, it means that the plant may become aggressive, so if a person wants to cut down this tree, he will definitely have to pay a price.
The same goes for animals.
For example, now, a little bird has just left the warm embrace of its parents and begins to wander the world.
"Grandpa Tree, can I build a nest here again?" the little bird said pitifully.
The first tree had a hot temper: "No, get out, don't disturb me!"
The second tree profiteer: "What good can I do?"
Third Tree Music Fan: "Okay, but I want you to sing songs for me for one...two hours every day."
The fourth tree said kindly: "Okay, just chat with me when you have time."
Different plants have different personalities, so the animals suffered. Many animals were driven out of the nests they had been living in and became homeless.
However, Aoki didn't pay too much attention to these second-level plants. He just restricted them to protect themselves and try not to harm other animals, especially humans, because humans are still the masters now.
Aoki is now most concerned about the big banyan tree that gave him the purple crystal, and the third-generation vitality tree that absorbed the purple crystal.
By now, the branch of the big banyan tree that had been injected with purple crystal material had changed, and it had bloomed a large flower bud as big as a fist.
"Bud? Why are there such big buds?"
For the banyan tree, Aoki can be said to be very familiar: it is a cryptocarpa, which means the flowers are very small and inconspicuous. The fruit is very small, about the size of the tail finger.
But looking at the big flower bud on this fist, it feels weird no matter how you look at it.
When Aoki looked in with his telepathy, he discovered a shocking scene. There was a small embryo inside the bud, which looked like a humanoid.
"This...what is this??" Aoki thought of the creature in Western legends.
Aoki couldn't believe himself. Looking at the other buds, he saw the same embryos inside.
"Da Rong, when did this flower bloom?" Aoki found the conscious body of the big banyan tree and asked.
"Tree God, just a week after you gave me the purple crystal, I noticed that the place had changed." Da Rong's voice seemed to have changed a little.
Aoki feels a little awkward about the name Tree God, but some time ago Aoki discovered that most of the plant consciousnesses like to call Aoki "Tree God". The older the tree consciousnesses are, the more they like to call it this way. I asked them to change it several times, but nothing happened.
The change was successful, and Aoki finally let them go.
"Have you done anything special during this time?" Aoki asked, hoping to find clues from here.
These things are crucial and can help Aoki deduce some hidden techniques of directed evolution. This is one of Aoki's many current research projects.
"Something special? Nothing?" Da Rong said confusedly.
Seeing it like that, Aoki didn't embarrass it, but decided to take some time to observe it every day in the hope of discovering something.
Time passed day by day, and Aoki waited day by day for the coming of the crystal monster, and also collected all the vitality of the vitality trees, leaving no trace inside the vitality tree, so as not to be attacked by the crystal monster.
As for the vitality trees within the range of his mind, Aoki had no choice.
"Those vitality trees are so far away, they shouldn't cause attacks from crystal monsters, right?"
This can not but be said to be a limitation in thinking. Previous examples have told Aoki that crystal monsters always appear around Banna, so this machine that 'produces/cultivates' crystal monsters should be nearby.
The time gradually shifts from early August to mid-August.
Not only Aoki is paying attention to the crystal monsters, but the base and foreign national forces are also keeping an eye on Banna. Every day, many satellites pass by in the sky to check whether there are any crystal monsters.
Ever since the research institutions in those countries bought some monster meat from China's Iron Rooster last year for research, genetic research has developed by leaps and bounds. It was also surprisingly discovered that monster meat can extract essence and make it into evolution potions and evolutionary medicines.
Pills to promote the evolution of those mutants.
When they learned that China used the meat to make a kind of Jingqi pill, they were even more surprised.
"Baby, and the whole body is full of treasures..." So all capable countries want to get a piece of it.
If China takes it away again, won't I have to spend a lot of money again, and I can only buy the poor limited sales? And then I will be taken advantage of?
