My Evolution Starting from a Giant Tree - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Suspicious Areas
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Especially now that the spiritual energy had recovered, the depths of the sea had become a forbidden area.
One had to know that the first place to recover spiritual energy was the sea.
And now, in the depths of the sea, no one knew what kind of monsters were lurking.
Shaking his head, the square-faced middle-aged soldier also looked helpless.
Having been in the army for more than thirty years, this was the first time he felt that it was really troublesome.
Fortunately, those major events were handled by the special forces. What he needed to do now was to supervise the places with abnormal spiritual power in this province.
If he found any abnormal situations or dangers, he had to nip it in the bud.
After all, according to the speculation of some experts—along with evolution—these mutated beasts would most likely not be satisfied with their territory, so they would leave their territory and start hunting in the true sense of the word.
At that time, it would be imaginable for the mutated beasts to attack the city.
Thus, as the lieutenant-general guarding the area…
The responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy.
“Sort out the areas where the peak of spiritual power has exceeded 5000 and pass it to me.”
“Yes, sir.”
Nodding his head, the young soldier Jack took a look at the map. The corners of his eyes couldn’t help but twitch.
Peak spiritual power exceeding 50,000…
This time, the officer was probably going to be shocked.
Peak spiritual power was a human standard for measuring the strength of spiritual power.
Generally speaking, when the highest peak spiritual power exceeding 5,000, the probability of a mutated beast with peak spiritual power exceeding 5,000 was extremely high.
Here, it was worth mentioning that creatures with peak spiritual power exceeding 1,000 were enough to threaten armed soldiers.
Creatures with a peak spiritual power of more than 5,000 could even ignore bullets and other conventional weapons.
Simply put, they were truly monsters with terrifying lethality. It wasn’t that the army or experts of the same level couldn’t fight against them.
And once monsters of this level swarmed into the city, the disaster they would cause was also imaginable.
As such, stopping or even killing creatures of this level was also the responsibility of this mysterious organization.
After Jack handed the map to the square-faced middle-aged soldier, a cry of surprise rang out in the office.
“What? There are eight places with peak spiritual power exceeding five thousand?”
“There’s another place with peak spiritual power exceeding eighteen thousand? Are you kidding me? Are you sure it’s not a problem with the measuring instrument?”
…
Jack’s face was solemn. “Sir, this is the result after several tests but we can’t rule out the possibility of a spirit river or a spirit mine coming into being.”
“Phew…”
Letting out a deep breath, the square-faced soldier looked at the young soldier and said with a wry smile, “Do you think spirit river or spirit mines are like cabbages? That they’re everywhere?”
As he said that, his gaze slightly focused again. He took a deep look at the area that was as red as blood on the map.
“Beiyu Canyon.”
It was located in the region of Sichuan Province, deep in the mountains.
Not only was the traffic inconvenient but the mountain roads were also difficult to walk on.
It was not surprising that a terrifying mutated beast had appeared.
However, how terrifying would a mutated beast with a peak spiritual power of 18,000 be?
…
Close to noon.
Sunlight shone down from the clouds.
It cast a huge light spot in the air.
The dust floated in the empty space, moving like a slow-motion camera into countless tiny galaxies, just like the tiny universe in the slides that they had seen in geography class.
And this was not an illusion.
In this era of spiritual power recovery, the spiritual energy that was like the color of sunlight scattered by a prism filled the air.
If one had a special mental ability, they would be able to catch some fluctuations of the spiritual energy or see the spiritual energy.
As a tier 1 creature, Lin Meng could naturally see the spiritual energy.
Lin Meng looked at the colorful spiritual energy in the sky, which looked like a dream, and couldn’t help but be in a daze.
“It’s so beautiful!”
With a smile, Lin Meng turned his gaze back to the canyon.
At this moment, the entire canyon was covered in white fog.
The fog rushed into the distance like a tide.
“In a few days, this mountain will be my hunting ground.”
His words were filled with anticipation.
Because he was the only person in the entire canyon, he did not hide his words.
The rest were animals or souls.
No one could understand his joy at this moment.
The fog was his other pair of eyes.
With the help of the fog, Lin Meng’s perception would have a qualitative improvement.
Although it would not be so subtle that even ants could sense their movements, some big movements could still be detected.
At that time, Lin Meng would truly be at ease.
At least, when humans did not use missiles or intercontinental missiles, his safety would be guaranteed.
In this way, he would have enough time to develop.
Just as Lin Meng was deep in thought, a howl suddenly woke him up.
He looked up.
A few gray wolves that were locked in the tree cage propped themselves up one after another.
“Howl, howl, howl…”
The howls did not stop.
A pair of green eyes flickered with a fierce light.
Wolves were social animals.
At night, in the open mountain wilderness—in the quiet forest—as long as there was a wolf howling, the rest would also stretch their necks and howl along.
It made one’s whole body tremble with fear.
And now, these gray wolves that were locked in the tree cage.
They all bared their teeth and spat out long blood-red tongues, their gazes focused on the golden giant eagle’s corpse not far away.
“Is it hungry?”
Lin Meng guessed.
After a moment, the branches slowly extended out, and with a twist, the branches reached into the tree cage.
“Ao…”
A howl.
The wolf in the tree cage retreated and bent slightly. Its front legs extended forward and it was in a posture of charging upwards.
Its eyes flickered with a fierce light as it firmly held onto the branch that Lin Meng had reached in.
“You want to give it a try?”
Lin Meng sneered. Even though he knew that the wolf could not hear him, Lin Meng still carried out the threat in his words.
Like a human’s finger, he hooked it, very arrogant.
“Ao…”
Another howl.
The wolf took a step back uneasily.
It had seen the ferocity of this tree demon before.
The reverence for the “powerful” in his bones made him hesitate.
However.
Gulp, gulp…
The wolf’s stomach growled with hunger. The food in the distance was too tempting.
Bang!
Its hind legs shook the ground.
The gray wolf jumped high, opened its bloody mouth, and fiercely bit down on Lin Meng’s branches.
Pa!
A branch fiercely hit down.
The sound was clear and crisp.
It sounded in the thick fog.
In order to let the other animals see clearly, Lin Meng deliberately dispersed the thick fog beside the gray wolf.
He saw that in the tree cage, a gray wolf was curled up in a corner, and couldn’t help but tremble.
There was a blood-red whip mark on its body.
The gray wolf’s eyes were filled with fear as it whimpered softly.
At this moment, that branch slowly extended over…
It approached it bit by bit until it was about to approach it. Out of instinct, the gray wolf bared its teeth.

Chapter 22: Taming the Gray Wolf
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Swish!
The branch suddenly accelerated.
It suddenly landed on its body.
Only a “pa” sound could be heard.
Once again, there was a bloody mark on the gray wolf’s body that could almost be seen as white bones.
“Still… biting?”
Lin Meng sneered and slowly moved the branch.
Under Lin Meng’s threat, the gray wolf cowered.
When the gray wolf faced Lin Meng’s branch again, it slowly lowered its head.
“At least you know what you’re doing.”
As he said this, Lin Meng’s gaze turned.
He did see the other animals, like the white crane and the other wolves. At this moment, they were abnormally quiet.
They did not dare to make a sound.
They seemed to have been stunned by the scene just now.
“Looks like this method is not bad.”
The temperament of these animals was almost tempered. Now it was time to tame these animals.
However, it seemed that the effect was not bad.
While he was thinking, Lin Meng’s branch suddenly broke.
Then, a drop of sparkling essence liquid seeped out from the cut of the branch.
And when that wisp of essence liquid seeped out, the animals in the cages all opened their eyes.
For example, the bison with black horns.
Had slowly propped itself up.
Its forelimbs began to rub against the ground.
On the other side, the golden monkey on the treetop screamed.
It began to jump on the treetop.
At the same time, the honey badger that had been desperately digging the ground also stopped moving. It slowly leaned out of the deep hole in the ground and its mouth could not help but start smacking.
Lin Meng knew that his essence liquid was very attractive to these animals.
Shaking the branch, Lin Meng did not drop it immediately.
And this was the gray wolf, who was the closest to the essence liquid and was riddled with injuries. It could no longer resist the temptation in front of its eyes.
It opened its mouth and directly bit over.
Pa!
The branch fiercely whipped.
Before the gray wolf could react, his entire body flew more than a meter away and crashed into the tree cage.
“Wu wu…”
The gray wolf whimpered.
He fell to the ground and tried to get up, but he staggered.
His entire body went limp.
At the same time, scarlet blood spread down from the wound.
For a moment, the rich smell of blood almost covered the fragrance brought by the essence of life.
“If I don’t give it to you, you are not allowed to take it.”
Lin Meng did not care whether the gray wolf could understand him or not. He spoke coldly.
“Master… Master, aren’t you being too fierce?”
At this moment, Betty, who was watching Lin Meng’s actions from not far away, was sitting on the treetop with her little feet up.
There was some sympathy for the gray wolf in her words.
“Fierce?”
Lin Meng smiled.
His mood recovered a little, then he shook the branch and explained, “Mutated animals are wild and hard to tame—especially wolves. They are very arrogant. If I wasn’t fierce…”
Without waiting for Lin Meng to finish his words, he controlled the branch and fiercely whipped it in the air.
The air was jerked, making an explosive sound.
A moment later.
With a bang, a huge rock was split into two halves by his branch, revealing a cut that was as smooth as a mirror.
Immediately after, Lin Meng continued to speak, “If they aren’t fierce, there will only be one outcome waiting for them.”
As he finished speaking.
Lin Meng’s attention was once again drawn to the gray wolf that was sobbing softly not far away.
However, it had to be said that after Lin Meng’s training for a while, this gray wolf was finally “sensible.”
Even if it was extremely hungry.
With the temptation of the life essence, it also lowered its head and did not dare to raise its head to look.
After all, Lin Meng’s whip was not something that could be easily withstood.
One whip could crush the gray wolf’s bones.
However, Lin Meng wanted to try to tame the gray wolf and did not want to kill it.
After chuckling a few times, Lin Meng teased it a few more times.
Fortunately.
This gray wolf did not disappoint him.
It was really “sensible.”
“It’s good that it’s sensible.”
As he said this, Lin Meng controlled the life essence to fall.
Drip!
The sound of water dripping.
As the life essence dripped, the other animals widened their eyes.
There were even a few who were anxious to rush up.
But a moment later.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the tree roots and branches suddenly appeared in the air.
The bison that rushed out of the tree cage came to a sudden stop, leaving a trail of two to three meters on the ground.
The golden monkey, who had been impatient for a long time, rolled over and fell from the tree branch.
It was also quite frightened.
Animals were very simple.
Even if they had intelligence, it was difficult for them, who had not undergone systematic training, to learn how to truly think in the first place.
Right now, they were like human infants.
They were like a piece of white paper.
Only after understanding this point did Lin Meng have the confidence to tame these animals.
However, even if he had the confidence, he still had the confidence.
However, if there was no improvement after several rounds of training, Lin Meng didn’t mind killing them.
It would be a waste of time if they couldn’t be tamed.
He might as well turn them into his evolution points.
As he thought about this, one of Lin Meng’s branches had already reached the head of the honey badger.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A sonic boom sounded as the branches danced in the air above the honey badger.
The honey badger was very smart. It shrunk its neck, not daring to fight head-on with Lin Meng’s branches.
It was reckless.
It was not stupid.
Moreover, the reason why the honey badger was reckless was because of the structure of its eyes.
It was somewhat like a goose. In its eyes, large animals were almost the same size as it.
Therefore, relying on its strong defense and its physique that was not afraid of poison, it was naturally reckless to the extreme.
Just as Lin Meng was preparing to train the honey badger…
On the other side, the gray wolf that was covered in wounds began to mutate after touching the life essence that Lin Meng had given it.
It began to mutate.
“Howl…”
A wolf howl.
The sound was thick.
It was obvious that it was stronger.
Following that, the gray wolf actually slowly propped itself up.
Hu…
The wind rose, and the wind that could be seen with the naked eye began to gather around it.
In the blink of an eye, it was already enveloped in the green whirlwind.
“This is?”
Lin Meng revealed a rare look of puzzlement.
After sizing it up, the gray wolf’s green fur had already begun to stand up in the green whirlwind.
The color changed bit by bit.
It was as if it had been assimilated by the green wind.
The color of its fur had actually turned green…
Race: Mutated Gray Wolf.
Level: Entry Level 5.
Innate Talent: Wind Power – It was able to control the wind. It was the incarnation of the wind and it was also a true wolf of wind.
“Wolf of Wind? Wind wolf?”
Lin Meng guessed.
He didn’t expect this gray wolf, no, this wind wolf would awaken the power of the “elements.”
Elements, a distant and unfamiliar word.
Wind, fire, water, earth…
The basic elements that formed the world.
Lin Meng had also guessed that this was in the era of spiritual energy recovery.
Someone could control the elements and then fight.
But he hadn’t awakened similar elemental powers, so he didn’t think much about it.
