Chapter 6: Life Essence

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

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 black 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 similar 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 become 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 vigilantly.

One of them even chirped at Lin Meng as if it was complaining.

“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 accelerate 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 flapping its wings and flailing.

“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 accelerate 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 claws, they were separated into several parts.

Ripp!

With a gentle drag, the entire bird nest was split open by their sharp claws.

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 flashed 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, becoming eight black spots.
