Chapter 9

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

In Lin Meng’s field of vision, he could only see a black shadow covering the sky.

But at this moment, Lin Meng moved.

He moved at a speed that surpassed people’s imaginations.

Boom. Boom. Boom!

Accompanied by continuous air-piercing sounds, nine giant black spears shot into the sky.

“Kyakk…”

As if sensing danger, the giant golden eagle’s body suddenly trembled.

However, it had already raised its speed, so how could it stop just like that?

With a “bang” sound, it flapped its wings. It had no time to dodge, so it had already been ruthlessly stabbed by a huge black spear.

With a “clang” sound, fiery red splattered everywhere. When Lin Meng’s tree roots, which were as hard as steel, stabbed into the golden eagle’s wings, they actually set off a series of flames.

“F*ck, it’s so hard?”

Lin Meng exclaimed in his heart, feeling a little helpless.

As expected of the golden wings that were evaluated by the system to be as hard as an alloy. There was nothing to say about its hardness.

However, that was all that it could do.

With a ruthless heart, the other eight giant black spears pierced through the air and ruthlessly stabbed into the golden eagle’s body.

The golden eagle’s wings were indeed unsolvable.

However, there were no feathers covering the other areas. Lin Meng did not believe that they could have the same defense.

As such, the other eight spears were more or less aimed at the golden eagle’s abdomen.

This was the most vulnerable part of the bird of prey.

“Kraaa…”

The golden eagle’s shrill cry suddenly resounded throughout the entire valley.

Flapping its wings, the golden eagle attempted to make a final struggle, allowing blood to spurt out from the wound, but its body was constantly being pulled back.

However, how could Lin Meng, who had the determination to kill in one strike, let go of such an opportunity?

Boom!

With an explosive shout, the nine black giant spears that had been distorted to a certain degree suddenly exploded with the power that they had accumulated previously.

This was the principle of the ‘twisting spring.’

It used the previous rotation to accumulate power.

And when it pierced deep into the golden eagle’s body, it would completely explode with power.

In this way, it could also cause maximum secondary damage toward the golden eagle.

Puchi!

The giant black spear that was spinning at an extreme speed brought out a shower of blood,

Lin Meng, who didn’t have time to react, was even drenched in it.

Ding! A crisp sound rang out, and a cold system notification sounded in his ears.

Ding! [You have killed a level seven mutated golden eagle. Evolution Points +70.]

Ding! [You have met the requirements for a Tier 1 evolution. Your current evolution points are 70/10. Do you wish to start the next phase of evolution?]

Tier 1? Evolution?

Lin Meng was pleasantly surprised as he realized something.

Indeed, as he had guessed, there was a tier one, and from then on, if he had guessed correctly, there should be a tier two, a tier three, and so on.

When he thought of this, Lin Meng glanced at the golden eagle that had been completely pierced through the sky by the giant black spear and had lost its life force. He felt slightly relieved. Then, he muttered in his heart…

Confirm evolution.

After saying this, Lin Meng suddenly felt a wave of energy surging into his body.

This wave of energy was so turbulent and surging that Lin Meng’s entire body trembled the moment it rushed into his body.

Bang! Bang!

Amidst the rapid and short sound, Lin Meng’s bark continuously exploded.

What was even more unbelievable was that his entire tree body continued to expand. In the blink of an eye, it had already reached the thickness of two people hugging each other.

The thickness of two people hugging each other was not considered very thick.

But the problem was that it had only been a few breaths.

Moreover, the mutation was still continuing.

Lin Meng could deeply feel that every inch of his body was continuously strengthening. The surging energy destroyed the cells and then the warm current once again repaired them.

The repaired cells were even more powerful.

Faintly, there was already a change in the nature of life.

However, it was true that Lin Meng’s current evolution was a leap in his life.

His branches continued to elongate as they bared their fangs and brandished their claws towards the sky. However, they became greener and greener. Faintly, there was a hint of starlight, just like the strengthened branches from before.

However, at this moment, it was clearly visible even during the day.

Looking from afar, at the bottom of the canyon, there was a giant tree that was twenty to thirty meters tall. It was flickering with starlight-like light.

While the light was shining, its countless branches seemed to be rolling in the sky.

In an instant, the entire canyon was illuminated by its own light.

Birds and beasts flew up and the beasts trembled…

In a trance, a true overlord of the canyon was rising.

And in a place that the world could not see, an even greater change was also coming.

Lin Meng’s countless black tree roots were continuously spreading and growing rapidly.

They dug into the soil as they turned it over, just like an Earth Dragon turning over its body. For a moment, gullies could be seen rising up from the ground of the entire canyon.

However, this was only the branch roots.

Lin Meng’s life root—the main tree root—made the largest headway.

The main tree root continued to dig deeper into the ground. The hard rocks could not stop his footsteps. As the canyon shook, his main tree root only stopped when it was about a hundred meters underground.

Boom.

Lin Meng could clearly feel an icy chill when he touched it.

“This is the underground river?”

Lin Meng’s heart trembled slightly in his shock.

However, in a moment, he could clearly sense that the countless small roots of the main tree root were tightly clinging onto the rocks like a spider web, and they had even covered about fifty meters.

Immediately after, an even greater icy chill continued to surge over.

It was not as simple as the underground river. Lin Meng could clearly feel the endless flow of unknown substances.

Could this be the spirit river that contained a large number of unknown substances?

Lin Meng’s heart trembled as he made a guess.

It was a hundred meters deep underground and contained a large number of unknown substances. It was not unreasonable to say that it was the spirit river.

However, this was not the time to care about these things.

Because…

Screech, screech, screech…

Along with the screeching, the eight peregrine falcons that were entrenched in the bird’s nest that was the size of a basin in the canopy of the forest began to swell in the wind.

It was as if Lin Meng’s evolution had affected them as well.

However, that was also the case.

Currently, Lin Meng was like a whirlpool with the tree as the center. A small ‘spiritual energy’ storm had already appeared.

As the gathering that was closest to Lin Meng, they naturally benefited greatly.

Not only the peregrine falcons but the red fox under the tree had also begun a new round of transformation.

Its sharp claws were lengthening bit by bit, and the fiery red eyes in the depths of its eyes were becoming more and more beautiful…

Its fur was also growing continuously, and it was faintly becoming more and more enchanting.

From afar, this red fox that was the size of a calf seemed to be bathing in flames.

It was both divine and terrifying.

“Awooo…”

A long howl suddenly sounded in the canyon,

This red fox that was bathed in flames jumped up and landed on a huge rock. Then, its cold eyes looked around the canyon as if it was on guard against something.

On the other side.

Awoo, awoo, awoo…

Sharp howls sounded out. Eight peregrine falcons that were around 70 cm in length and had wingspans of one to two meters spread their wings and pounced into the sky.

Screech.

Another screech sounded in unison. It was as if it could pierce through gold and crack rocks. Even the canyon was shaken by it.

The eight peregrine falcons were scattered in all directions. Their eyes were as cold as the eyes of an eagle as they endlessly searched every corner of the canyon.
