Chapter 138 The Evolution of the Tree of Life
"How far are they from here?"
Leon pointed to the endlessly flowing river.
"The first civilization branch is downstream of this river. About 6,000 kilometers downstream is their safe zone."
"There is a big stone on the other side of the river, which is quite obvious."
Lu Yuan was relieved immediately. It was easy to deal with a big river. You can just drive a ship, which is much faster than walking!
And the fruit that repairs the soul...
Lu Yuan was quite tempted.
You know, his tree of life can graft all plants!
Just get some branches and leaves, and the tree of life can produce this kind of fruit!
What's more, the first branch of the Rize civilization has the remains of an ancestral spaceship, which is the spaceship carrying the [ghost].
Lu Yuan thought there might be good treasures there, and he quickly made up his mind.
Damn, I'm so greedy. I actually thought about the treasure first, instead of saving my comrades...My morality is really corrupted.
"In that case, I will help you make a long trip."
"Help me make the corresponding contacts and prepare the transportation. Go and come back quickly!"
"On behalf of the Seventh Civilization Branch... I am very grateful!" Governor Leon was excited and once again made a respectful gesture.
...
Next, under Lu Yuan's witness, the friendship between humans and the Rize civilization took a step further.
The two sides began to communicate and contact further.
Like technology exchanges, intelligence sharing, etc.
Having a middleman really made this matter much easier.
"May the friendship between the two sides last forever!"
Of course, what can be communicated depends on the sincerity of each party.
After all, they are different civilizations, and it is normal to have some concealment. Lu Yuan will not force anything. If life is just like the first sight, it is always beautiful at the beginning. As for what will happen later, perhaps even the greatest gods cannot predict it.
...
And Lu Yuan also fulfilled his promise and stayed here for two more days, passing on the fire to 20 soldiers of the Rize civilization.
And he passed on the knowledge of the extraordinary fire and taught them completely.
There are already more than a thousand fire seeds in Yunhai City, so there is no need to worry about the Li Ze civilization catching up.
As for other human cities?
Hey, I can't care too much! I have taught you a long time ago. If you don't do your best, it's none of my business!
"Everyone, my inheritance has only reached this step."
"The third-level extraordinary fire seed is the limit."
"For the next inheritance, I will go to explore distant ruins."
A layer of light curtain appeared on his arm, and he punched out suddenly.
A whistling gale was formed.
"Pah!"
The wooden stake was easily hit with a fist mark.
"Don't stick to the rules. The skeleton structure and internal organs of each civilization are different. These inheritances need to be improved by themselves to better adapt to their own race."
All the soldiers who were learning in the audience were all eager to feel the fire seeds in their minds.
How much time can these materials reduce?
The Li Ze civilization naturally has an education system.
The inheritance of knowledge is a great favor.
"Mr. Lu, you can stay here all the time..." A general of the Rize people suddenly said, "No one will embarrass you here."
"The third-level extraordinary fire is not weak. We can explore the higher level by ourselves, and we don't have to go far away!"
Lu Yuan shook his head gently.
He can't stop here.
He will also be lazy and indolent.
Once he stops, he will never be willing to start again.
He will be lost in the crowd.
"Friends, the matter is over. I will go to the first branch of Rize first. You wait for my good news."
"Goodbye everyone!" He waved his hand gently and activated the "space teleportation".
The process of leaving is much simpler than entering the safe zone.
Because in the safe zone, the outside world can be observed with the naked eye, without the help of the "imagination" process, and there is no so-called risk.
In just a moment, Lu Yuan appeared on the river bank outside the safe zone...
...
"What a chic traveler." Governor Leon looked at Lu Yuan's back and sighed in a low voice.
He was in a good mood.
With the death of the [Monster], the obstacles to the advancement of civilization were cleared!
Moreover, he was also taught the "Fire Seed", and with the "Pomegranate Fruit" given by Lu Yuan, he recovered a lot of his life span due to "foreknowledge".
The next thing to think about is the internal development and when to cancel the safe zone.
So, when will it be cancelled?
This is a complicated problem.
Even the predictive ability can't see the answer to fate.
...
The river is surging, the old trees are withered, and the rocks are rugged.
There is a muddy gravel road under my feet.
In the distance is an endless wasteland plateau, and a big sun is slowly setting.
The noisy voices disappeared.
The obelisk building disappeared.
The large group of Rize people on the cement square also disappeared.
Lu Yuan felt a sense of loss in his heart. He looked back, but he only saw a river flowing continuously.
The experience of just three days was like a dream that seemed real, which made him feel mixed emotions.
After all, humans are social animals. After experiencing the feeling of excitement, they can't stand the current loneliness.
"Swoosh!" The old cat's core ball was attached to him.
Lu Yuan took out the old cat's new body from the storage space. This was a new "cat" body carefully made for it by the skilled craftsmen of the Lize civilization.
It has a nuclear power battery, several inferior spirit crystals, and a powerful electric motor. Finally, it will not encounter the dilemma of "not being able to move" bombs.
As for its appearance, it is still a chubby orange cat.
Orange cat.
Lu Yuan shook his head and threw away this ups and downs.
"It's so good to you." This slutty and lustful cat suddenly said.
"What?"
"If God really exists, it really gave you a lot." The old cat said, "Space teleportation, the ability to cross the safe zone, humans, Rize civilization, and Meda civilization, all three civilizations do not exist, you should know how precious it is..."
"With this ability, even if you are a dealer in major civilizations, you will make a fortune."
"That's what I deserve!" Lu Yuan sneered, "Do you know how much I have suffered?"
"Your sister is so pretty. If our world is a third-rate novel, the author will definitely set her as a god."
Lu Yuan was stunned, staring at the old cat with his eyes. After confirming that it was telling the truth, he was silent for a long time.
This guy's neurosis is getting worse and worse.
He quickly stroked the cat: "Don't be like this...Comrade, I will give you the fruit of life and give you a physical body as soon as possible. This is my promise."
"Even if I have a physical body, I am a robot...different from normal life. So, there is no need."
The old cat twisted and walked aside silently.
It also found that its program failures were increasing.
Gently lowering his head, he looked at the surging river, the fish jumping high, the fish scales shining.
It suddenly found that he had forgotten the taste of fish, and he couldn't remember it at all.
This seemed to be a very important thing, but he couldn't remember it.
It had no sense of smell, no sense of taste, no sense of touch, no need to eat, and no need to sleep.
Just a robot.
The longer he stayed with Lu Yuan, the more he missed being alive.
But what is being alive?
The sun was setting, the night was falling, and the orange robot cat smelled a wild flower.
Just like the great warrior cat Mama, who had a heart of a tiger and could also smell the rose, he remembered this scene.
A group of white clouds appeared in the sky, and it was embracing the sun. Perhaps the sun would also be intoxicated, so the night after the sunset faded was also blushing.
But the old cat didn't remember what the rose in his memory smelled like.
...
...
Lu Yuan's own mental problems have improved, but his comrades' mental problems are getting worse.
Lu Yuan was quite helpless. He walked to the tree of life and his eyes lit up.
Two days in the safe zone, more than 200 days in the outside world, the tree of life devoured the corpse of the [monster] completely.
The number of branches and leaves exceeded one thousand!
Those emerald green leaves, a bit like bodhi leaves, emit a holy light under the sunlight of the setting sun.
And the bark on its surface also presents an ancient dragon pattern. At first glance, it seems that this tree has grown for hundreds of years.
"Wow! It's really a good thing!" Lu Yuan shouted excitedly.
The corpse of the [monster] is indeed nourishing. It not only makes up for the loss of vitality, but also allows the tree of life to grow rapidly to a height of 3.2 meters.
A small fruit of life has grown from a branch.
"Such a big tree, but only one fruit..." Lu Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied, "Old cat, do you want it? I won't lie."
"It's useless. I can't feel anything. Even if I have a body, I'm just a walking corpse."
"Okay... I'll think of a way later."
The piranha plant also expanded to a diameter of 1 meter, opened its bloody mouth, and greedily devoured the surrounding creatures.
The piranha plant even has a crystal-like eyeball, which looks a bit like the eyeball of a [monster] at first glance.
Lu Yuan looked and found some small animal bones buried at the root of the tree of life, which should have been eaten by the piranha plant.
"Rabbits, pheasants, what is this, eagle feathers?"
"They are all developing in the direction of perversion."
The eyeball of the piranha plant looked at Lu Yuan strangely, and this information was even fed back into Lu Yuan's mind - he saw himself.
"Yo."
[The unknown piranha plant has undergone extraordinary evolution for unknown reasons.]
[Ability 1: Devour. It can digest almost all creatures, as well as some anomalies, and continuously transmit the nutrients it obtains to the mother body.]
[Ability 2: Mental stab. It can instantly paralyze large creatures by using the extra eyeball to carry out mental attacks.]
Lu Yuan sensed the piranha plant and was immediately delighted.
"It has even learned mental stabs!"
There is no need to worry that the Tree of Life will get out of control... because this thing is actually a part of your soul, just like your hands and feet.
[Soul companion·Tree of Life: Because it devoured the corpse of a [monster], it is currently in the second stage of its growth period, becoming stronger, more spiritual, and able to resist more external attacks.]
[Some ordinary extraordinary creatures are no longer its opponents.]
[After merging with it, you can directly control it, borrow its power, and fight the enemy. ]
[Form: 22.1]
[Qi: 12.5]
[Spirit: 15.5]
The spirit attribute is exactly the same as Lu Yuan himself, and the two attributes of form and qi have undergone some changes.
"This thing must be extremely precious... I really don't understand it." The old cat commented on the tree of life.
He even jumped on the man-eating plant and observed the weird eyes.
"Is this tree a [demon]? It seems to be able to grow infinitely and keep getting bigger... Will it eventually become like a real world tree?"
The old cat was a little bit obsessed and muttered to himself: "It's so good to you, it must be watching you..."
Lu Yuan stopped stimulating the cat. He touched the tree of life and immediately transferred his soul to the tree.
This feeling... is like changing a field of vision. Those hard branches are his hands.
Because of the limitations of the tree itself, it is not very flexible.
Try your best, but you can only tremble twice.
As for his human body, it fell to the ground and seemed to have become a vegetable.
The only flexible thing on the Tree of Life was the Piranha Plant, which looked a bit like the giant Piranha Plant in "Plants vs. Zombies".
The Piranha Plant suddenly swallowed the human body in one gulp.
The Tree of Life trembled, making a "clattering" shaking sound, and seemed very proud.
"Did you eat yourself?" The old cat asked in surprise, "Or can you control the Piranha Plant and not digest yourself?"
The Piranha Plant made a weird "cackle" laugh, blinked twice with its one eye, and spit out the upper half of the human body, while the lower half remained inside the Piranha Plant.
Then, the human body also opened its eyes and laughed: "How about it, do I look like a monster grafted with a human and a plant!"
The Piranha Plant swallowed and spit out the human body, and kept tossing it.
Old Cat: ...
This uncle, your mental state is not very good.
…
Just then, the evil and crazy wolf also came out of the cave.
It heard the familiar call of its master, and its steps were quite weak.
The Tree of Life·Lu Yuan and the old cat were stunned, showing incredible expressions.
Because behind its butt, there were 12 female wolves! !
Pink, white, black, loli, tsundere, sweet...all kinds of shapes and sizes!
"The great cat Mama once said that the ugly ones should be killed, and the not-ugly ones should be killed. Solve the quantity problem first, then solve the quality problem." The old cat shouted excitedly, "You are really an idol of my generation!"
And the Tree of Life suddenly sobbed...
The swinging amplitude of the branches must be sobbing, right?
