My Evolution Starting from a Giant Tree - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: The Canyon Returned to Silence
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

Then, without waiting for Jack to react, the big tree that was as thick as a bucket was split into two.
A smooth cross-section was revealed.
“This is no longer as simple as trouble.”
Jack’s face was solemn.
He stomped on the ground with his right foot and rushed towards the honey badger like a cannonball.
A crack appeared on the ground where Jack stomped on.
It was enough to see how terrifying Jack’s legs were.
Battle was inevitable.
No one could avoid it.
Now, Jack’s only wish was to quickly defeat the honey badger and leave the mountain with everyone alive.
…
Not long after, in a small forest.
Cough cough…
Holding his chest, a staggering figure walked out from the fog.
Behind him, there were a few figures supporting each other.
“We can’t rest here.”
Coughing up blood foam, Jack turned around and looked into the depths of the mountain.
It reminded everyone.
“Mm.”
Nodding his head, the bearded leader also agreed.
However, compared to before, this leader was now in a sorry state, with three bloody wounds on his back.
His clothes were also torn.
The leader wasn’t the only one.
The others weren’t any better.
Moreover, unfortunately, they lost six of their brothers.
Gritting his teeth, the leader didn’t think too much about it.
They had finally gotten rid of those giant green wolves. If they didn’t retreat now, it would be too late.
Moreover, the most hateful thing was that one of the mutated beasts that attacked them was actually a honey badger.
Thinking of this, the regiment commander smiled bitterly.
Any mutated beast wasn’t good, but it just had to be the honey badger.
Just this honey badger had a very hot temper and was very stubborn.
It would always chase and attack the enemy, not letting go until it was dead.
So much so that they repelled these mutated beasts but they didn’t dare to stop at all.
They even took the initiative to run out of the mountain.
Although the battle strength of the honey badger couldn’t compare to lions, tigers, and so on.
However, its reputation was very big in human society.
The reason why it was so famous was that the honey badger was very vengeful.
If one provoked this fellow, unless they killed it, they would be waiting for countless revenge.
One had to know that the honey badger was a vicious character who dug holes overnight and went to the zoo to fight lions because the lions looked at him one time too many.
Although it didn’t win, the vengeful nature of this race made everyone apprehensive.
And now, a mutated honey badger was so powerful that even an extraordinaire like Jack almost died at the hands of the other party.
Being targeted by the other party, they couldn’t help but feel nervous.
If they didn’t retreat quickly, they might even lose their lives.
…
At this time, what Jack and the others didn’t know was that…
In the distant canyon, a willow tree had been staring at them. After they left the canyon, the willow tree let out a long sigh.
“These big problems have finally left.”
Yes, they had finally left.
If Lin Meng’s guess was right, they would not return for a short period of time.
In fact, it had to be said that just as the group of people were fighting with the wind wolves and the honey badger, Lin Meng wanted to make a move and keep this person alive.
With its current means, it was not too difficult to keep them alive.
Even if they were tens of kilometers away, with the help of the thick fog and hallucination, Lin Meng could kill them in an instant.
But after thinking about it.
Lin Meng still chose to give up.
Because he needed to use this group of people’s mouths to stabilize the higher-ups of the human race in a short time.
Then, he would give them a buffer time to allow him to truly develop.
Regardless of whether his existence was exposed or not.
Just the fog and the mutated beasts hidden in the fog alone were enough to make those who wanted to come in and investigate not dare to come again.
As for whether the humans would use weapons of mass destruction to clean up this mountain.
Logically speaking, this should be impossible.
After all, now that the spiritual energy had recovered.
Just think of the mountain that Lin Meng stayed in, there would be as many as needed.
Before they were completely sure that there was an extraordinary creature hiding in this mountain.
The humans that Lin Meng knew weren’t so bold as to directly use weapons of mass destruction.
What Lin Meng wanted to do was to use these mutated beasts that weren’t weak to drive them away without exposing himself.
This way, he could hide well behind the scenes.
He could develop in peace.
After thinking about it, Lin Meng felt that this was pretty good. There was nothing wrong with it.
“If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will be over in a short period of time.”
Right now, Lin Meng only wanted one word, “Stability.”
As for whether he would be discovered in the future.
That wasn’t something he needed to consider now.
He had already done what he needed to do. What happened next would depend on his luck.
However, after thinking about it, Lin Meng felt that he had gained quite a lot this time.
After all, he was a pretty good chess piece that had been deeply embedded into the human race.
Thinking of this, Lin Meng also called out softly:
“Betty, how are you doing now?”
There was a moment of silence.
The white figure leaning against the big tree pouted.
She complained:
“I got into a car and it has been bumpy ever since.”
As he spoke, Betty expressed her dissatisfaction again:
“Master, do I really have to control this body all the time?”
“Yes.”
Lin Meng smiled and his words were filled with pride.
Even he did not expect that the girl called Julie would actually awaken her elemental talent.
After that, the leader of the group, Jack, took a liking to her.
He wanted to send her to that mysterious department.
What did this mean?
As long as he nurtured Betty, a perfect chess piece would be able to infiltrate her.
At that time, he would be able to grasp many human situations with Betty’s help.
Moreover, he had already verified it with Betty.
Now, Betty could control that body for more than ten hours.
When Betty didn’t control it, that body would fall asleep.
In this way, it could form a cycle.
Julie’s body could work and rest like a normal person.
Looking at Betty who was reluctant, Lin Meng could understand.
This kind of operation should be a big burden for Betty.
Thinking of this, Lin Meng smiled and said, “Betty, as a reward, I will definitely give you some life essence.”
“Really?”
Betty’s eyes widened as she suddenly cried out in surprise.
“I’ll keep my word.”
“Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!”
She was so happy that she was dancing with joy. Betty, who was wearing a white dress, revealed a smile from the bottom of her heart.
Life essence was an extremely important treasure to her.
It could accelerate her evolution.
It could also nourish her soul…
It could be said that this kind of treasure was very attractive to her.
…
Just when Betty was happy.
An armored vehicle was driving on the muddy road. Two fully armed special forces soldiers at the back looked at the little girl who had suddenly fallen asleep. The corners of their mouths twitched.
