Mythology Era: The Coming of the Divine Tree (Evolution from the Big Tree) Chapter 157

“No, no…”

Whispering one after another, Yu Ziyu found no trace of Qianqin.

What made him even more incredible was that he couldn’t even find the owner of that wisp of crimson mist.

And just then, as if thinking of something, Yu Ziyu suddenly froze.

“If it’s not in the sky, then what about right in front of me?”

Amidst his whispers, most of the canyon once again fell into Yu Ziyu’s perception.

Not long after, Yu Ziyu’s gaze suddenly focused on a pit not far away.

The entrance to the underground plaza, a very large pit.

To prevent spiritual energy from dissipating, Yu Ziyu had covered its exit with spirit stones, like laying tiles.

In other words, this was a place isolated from spiritual power.

Moreover, and more importantly, Yu Ziyu had already sensed that the last spiritual power fluctuation of that wisp of crimson mist was near here, and along with it, the spiritual power fluctuation of the woman Qianqin had also disappeared here.

“A cat that stole a fish…”

With a cold snort, Yu Ziyu no longer hesitated.

For an existence like him, such a thing happening right under his nose was simply intolerable.

Furthermore, Qianqin, this human woman, was very likely to be hunted down by that fellow.

Thinking of this, the malevolence in Yu Ziyu’s heart grew even stronger.

One Qianqin, not important.

But someone killing his people right under his nose was intolerable.

Thinking of this, Yu Ziyu also suddenly surged his spiritual power.

“Rumble, rumble…”

Accompanied by the tremor of the earth, one black tree root after another, deeply hidden beneath the ground, had transformed into black giant snakes, surging menacingly towards the Spirit Stone Plaza.

With just a wall separating them, Yu Ziyu had already torn through the soil and arrived at a dreamlike crystal world.

One black tree root after another, like wall tendrils, continuously surged out.

In a blink of an eye, one side of the Spirit Stone Plaza’s wall was filled with Yu Ziyu’s countless tree roots.

And just then, Yu Ziyu was stunned to discover that in the center of the Spirit Stone Plaza, there was a red plant, swaying with bloody brilliance.

This red plant was not large, only three meters high.

But it had countless vines.

And that was not the point.

The point was that the missing human girl—Qianqin—was actually entangled by these vines.

Vaguely, Yu Ziyu could even see some small vines penetrating Qianqin’s body.

And Qianqin’s face showed a pitiful expression of pain and paleness.

“This is?”

In his murmur, Yu Ziyu’s gaze instinctively sharpened.

A moment later, a series of information flooded his mind.

[Species: Mutated Plant.

Tier: Tier 8.

Innate Talent: Seed of Life – Able to use spiritual energy to activate its scattered seeds, thereby transforming an area of land into a forest of vines.

Abilities: Blood Mist – Able to remotely control blood mist formed from its own liquid, hunting prey. The blood mist has considerable corrosive power, enough to corrode ordinary enemies.

Vine Thorns – Every vine is covered with barbs, causing intense pain upon contact.

Parasitism – Able to parasitize a certain creature to gain control over it.

“Mutated plant?”

Somewhat astonished, Yu Ziyu hadn’t expected that the bloody plant from before had actually become a mutated plant.

One must know, although spiritual herbs and flowers were numerous.

But those capable of becoming mutated plants, Yu Ziyu had not discovered any until now.

Becoming a mutated plant meant gaining intelligence and opening the door to evolution.

Just like him now, constantly evolving as a willow tree…

And now, this companion bloody plant of the earth-element spirit stone mine had actually become a mutated plant right under his nose.

“Uh…”

After a brief silence, Yu Ziyu was somewhat at a loss.

Suddenly encountering such a mutated plant was something he hadn’t expected.

As for whether he felt any joy at meeting a fellow species, sorry, Yu Ziyu felt none at all.

Because, at this moment, Yu Ziyu had already sensed a strong sense of hostility.

Looking up, blood-colored vines swayed in the wind, even undulating in mid-air, exuding a terrifying murderous aura.

“As fellow mutated plants, is our first encounter so unfriendly?”

In a cold voice, Yu Ziyu suppressed the complexity in his heart.

Then, a tree root, like a black long snake, stretched out like a display of power.

In a blink of an eye, a ‘black giant python’ coiled in the Spirit Stone Plaza slowly emerged.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Without hesitation, the distant blood-colored plant continuously thrust out.

Looking up, one could clearly see dozens of blood-colored spears shooting straight towards Yu Ziyu’s tree roots.

However, it was a pity.

As a fellow mutated plant, she had not realized what kind of existence she had encountered.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

With very crisp sounds, sparks flew, but these blood-colored spears couldn’t even tear through Yu Ziyu’s defense.

And at this moment, Yu Ziyu had no intention of playing with this blood-colored plant.

With a thought.

“Boom”

A fierce wind suddenly rose, and Yu Ziyu’s tree roots, transformed into black tree roots, had stretched close to the blood-colored plant.

And at this moment, the tree roots transformed into swords.

A sword light flashed by.

Large sections of vines were cut in half.

At the same time, the human girl Qianqin also fell to the ground.

But at this moment, Yu Ziyu had no mind to pay attention to her. Instead, his tree roots coiled around and tightly enveloped this blood-colored plant.

The tree roots suddenly exerted force.

With a loud “boom,” Yu Ziyu vaguely seemed to hear an inexplicable wail.

However, at this moment, a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of Yu Ziyu’s eyes.

“This is?”

With a hint of surprise, Yu Ziyu already felt a very strange energy surging into his tree roots.

What made him even more incredible was that his main body felt a kind of craving.

Yes, craving.

Like an instinct, irresistible.

Without hesitation, Yu Ziyu tightened his tree roots again.

A moment later, to his astonished gaze, wisps of crimson energy continuously surged into his tree roots along the vines.

At the same time, the aura of this crimson plant also continuously withered.

Until a certain moment, with an inexplicable mournful cry, this blood-colored plant seemed to have fallen in realm, its aura dropping significantly.

In a trance, it seemed to have lost its most precious possession.

And looking at this scene, Yu Ziyu seemed to have understood something, and his consciousness immediately pulled up the attribute panel.

Indeed, in his attribute panel, there was an additional ability, and it was the most precious innate talent.

[Innate Talent – Seed of Life (Partial): A terrifying talent acquired by plundering a mutated blood-colored plant, using one’s spiritual energy as a source of life to cultivate seeds, rapidly growing multiple trees from the ground, as if uprooted, creating a small forest in a few breaths.]
