Chapter 006: Evolution

Stimulating the remaining nutrients and growth hormones within, it pierces the root base, allowing the tree roots to regrow tender new rootlets, take root in the soil, and extract nutrients from the earth

From the perspective of the root rot, it should have been a few months, otherwise it wouldn't have decayed so quickly

The production capacity of Aoki's 502 strong adhesive is limited, making it impossible to supply all the leaves. Moreover, fresh tender branches attract these insects like a large light bulb.

After relaxing, Aoki could no longer resist trying out his mental power again. After all, it was something he had nearly paid with his life to evolve; if he left it unused, wouldn't that make him a fool

After playing for a long time, Aoki finally opened his attention. At this moment, Aoki realized that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed

At this time, all the leaves of the tree have withered, leaving only the bare trunk.

Aoki excitedly immersed himself in the grass for a while, then plunged into the water, experiencing those different worlds and having an absolute blast

Having learned profound lessons, Aoki can now be said to detest them deeply, temporarily setting aside plans for vigorous growth and fully focusing on extracting nutrients from the earth to supply the 502 strong adhesive processing plant on the tree roots

This reminded Aoki of something he thought of a few days ago: based on the weather here, it should not be a tropical rainforest climate zone, but rather a tropical monsoon rainforest climate.

A few days later, the disaster caused by the insects finally ceased for reasons unknown. At this time, the leaves of the green tree were covered with various dead insects, and this bizarre sight would surely send shivers down the spine of anyone who saw it, making them exclaim that it was a monster

At last, it was worth my life-threatening risk to evolve you! Aoki gave a thumbs up, and the previous displeasure vanished without a trace. In the past, while reading novels, I was very envious of those with psychic abilities; now I can be considered part of the trend as I have equipped myself with it. From now on, I can play however I want.

I recall that some plants can decompose the bodies of insects through certain enzymes and obtain nutrients from them. Could it be that this powerful adhesive has a similar effect

Wow, the appearance of this fish is so fierce, its teeth are so cruel; wow, there is a turtle over there, it's so big! The novel underwater world fills Aoki with excitement and joy

Day after day, Qingmu functions like a precision machine, fully commanding the body, continuously delving into every part of it, mobilizing resources from various areas to facilitate growth

Is this ... ...? Could it be ... ...?

"Why is it only 5 meters? And it's so blurry," Aoki lamented. After trying it just now, he found that the further he extended his mental power (which will be referred to as such from now on), the weaker it became. Once it reached 5 meters, it would completely stop extending. Moreover, the imaging effect was too poor; everything detected appeared hazy.

Another month passed quietly. Under the incessant murmurs of the *illustrated* books, the yearning for freedom led Aoki to finally evolve a unique entity through the "Light of Life." At this moment, four enormous tumor masses grew on the tree roots, each twice the size of the tumor caused by that 502 super glue.

My goodness! What has happened to me! After a moment of panic, Aoki quickly calmed down and began to recall the events leading up to this. Could it be related to those four tumors?

It is a pity that the range is only over 50 meters; it would be better if it were a bit farther. Aoki had just felt that 50 meters was great, but now he has started to be greedy, wanting more than he can handle.

However, right after the tumor appeared, Aoki felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue, as if he were mentally exhausted, weak, and on the verge of death. Moreover, the entire tree exhibited a sense of languor, with all the leaves drooping listlessly, and the roots seemed to have contracted as well

Organic and inorganic substances, along with various essential elements, are continuously transported from the roots to the tips of the branches and stems to ensure a normal supply of nutrients for the budding of leaves.

Aoki considered a possibility, but due to insufficient information, he chose not to pursue it further

Quickly, Aoki fell into darkness, unaware and unfeeling

At this moment, Aoki was already entangled in other troubles. Due to the untimely emergence of tender new leaves, Aoki unfortunately became the target of a swarm of insects

Having determined the objective, Aoki devoted all efforts to protecting the leaves in the crown of the tree. If there was any excess strong adhesive, it would be applied gradually from the crown downwards

After delving deeply into the four tumors, the sensation of mental energy awakening has returned

It feels incredibly exhilarating! Aoki was exceptionally excited, finally no longer obstructed by trees, flowers, and other plants as before. When focusing on a specific area, it feels as if one's eyes are positioned right at that spot, while if attention is dispersed, it resembles a scanner detecting everything in sight.

For some reason, Aoki suddenly felt a deep emotional connection to life

Under the day and night supervision of Qingmu, this processing plant operates at 100% capacity, transporting leaves to various locations via tree trunks

Another half month passed quietly, the sky has not yet rained, and the ground has become even drier

What is happening to me? Aoki was extremely panicked, Am I going to die?

Various unknown insects continuously visit the green wood, and not only that, they shamelessly leave their eggs behind

After a continuous day of struggle, countless insect corpses were left on the leaves. However, none of this could deter the insects from their moth-to-the-flame behavior

Refreshing

"Hoo! I can finally relax." Aoki sighed, feeling quite deeply about this challenging period.

Ultimately, Aoki had no choice but to change his strategy, prioritizing the supply of the powerful adhesive to the leaves at the top of the canopy. Only by growing taller could he seize more sunlight and carve out a path for survival in the jungle

However, if a bug, oblivious to its surroundings, dares to provoke Qingmu, Qingmu would not mind "digesting" it at m.hetushucom.com

A broader perspective, a visual experience that allows for the adjustment of angles, presents the surrounding scenery in a different form in Qingmu's mind. There is no need for learning; it feels as if it has been used for many years, applied with proficiency and without any sense of awkwardness

Aoki reorganized the tree roots, at which point some of the relatively tender roots had already rotted away, or were simply infested with wood-boring insects. Fortunately, the two types of tumors that had evolved were not being visited by any insects; otherwise, Aoki would have been at a loss for words.

In principle, if there are insect corpses on the leaves, they would certainly block sunlight, which would inevitably affect the photosynthesis of the trees and further impact their growth. However, at this moment, Qingmu's situation is quite different. Compared to a few days ago, his trees have grown taller, the leaves have become thicker, and the trunks have grown sturdier. Moreover, Qingmu is aware that his roots are growing at a faster rate than ever before.

As long as Aoki infuses his thoughts into it, a peculiar sensation will arise in Aoki's heart

Hmm? Why does it feel even more powerful? At the very moment of activation, Aoki sensed a significant difference

After an unknown period of time, Aoki finally regained consciousness. Recalling the events before losing awareness, he quickly began to carefully assess his own condition, but the results of his assessment left Aoki utterly astonished

50 meters? Increased?" Subsequently, he projected his mental energy outward, only to be astonished by the result; it was not the original distance of 5 meters, but rather 50 meters!

Finally, after a month, the relationship with - Tu - Shu Qingmu has returned to its previous state

This is very similar to the legendary spiritual power, unique in its nature, not directly manifesting in the soul as one might imagine, but rather appearing on the tree roots. When Qingmu connects the four tumors together, a situation will arise

My goodness! This is not the 'Light of Life'; it is simply the Light of Death. We cannot continue to act so recklessly in the future. Thinking back to this crisis, Aoki still feels a lingering fear.

Aoki is not very clear about the principle, but Aoki knows that nutrients are continuously being input from the dead bodies of insects on the leaves, which promotes the growth of the trees

The stream has become shallower, the waterline has lowered, and the land has become somewhat drier

Thus, Aoki confirmed that he possessed a function similar to that of carnivorous plants such as the pitcher plant and the Venus flytrap. However, Aoki did not particularly like this ability, as he was not fond of having a bunch of insects sticking to him; just the thought of it made him feel extremely disgusted, causing goosebumps all over.

Indeed, after about five or six days, the bodies of those insects gradually decomposed, eventually turning into a pile of tiny debris that fell to the ground. Once the leaves returned to their original state, the supply of nutrients ceased.

In this case, Aoki first ruled out the possibility of being located in the Amazon rainforest

The results were too poor, so Aoki no longer intervened. Currently, the most important thing is to change this state of lethargy.

With the sunset and sunrise, Qingmu finally felt a slight revival of vitality in his body. At this moment, the buds had begun to show their pointed little tips, bringing Qingmu a renewed hope for life
