My Evolution Starting from a Giant Tree - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Hallucination Caused by the Fog of evolution
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

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 plants for extraction.)
Level: Tier 1 (A powerful existence whose level of life evolves and sublimates.)
Innate Talent: Super Regeneration—A terrifying talent unique to plants. It can greatly increase the regeneration speed. Even if the branches and other relatively 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 black 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.
Similar to plant 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 would completely 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.
According to Lin Meng’s knowledge, this hallucination ability was not strong and it was very common in the animal and plant world.
Just like some plants, 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 flapped 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 place 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 replaced by relaxation.
It was comfort.
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 moan coming 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 relaxing 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 fog combined with the hallucinogenic effect could create a perfect forbidden area—the 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 a coma.
She was half asleep and half awake.
Lin Meng tried to communicate 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 of communicating with her.
Of course, this also required Lin Meng to understand human language.
“Where are you from?”
Lin Meng used the mist to send a message to the woman who had been hallucinated.
“A small village 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 village.
