Chapter 20

For example, the previous honey badger had already dug a four-meter-deep hole.

This was not a small action.

Lin Meng noticed it.

The honey badger wanted to get out of the tree cage that trapped it.

Unfortunately, the tree cage that paid attention to the honey badger was made from Lin Meng’s roots.

From the bottom to the top, the deeper it was, the denser the roots.

“If this honey badger can be tamed, not to mention its combat strength, just its persistence and recklessness will be very valuable.”

Lin Meng made an evaluation in his heart.

Then, he began to observe these animals.

With the continuous evolution, these protective animals could no longer be treated as ordinary animals.

Just like now, the golden monkey that was sitting on the treetops and occasionally swinging on the swing.

His intelligence should not be inferior to that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

Moreover, his intelligence was still gradually increasing.

In other words, in the future, some very powerful characters would appear among the mutated animals and plants.

Of course, the strongest one would definitely be this willow tree.

Lin Meng chuckled. He was somewhat looking forward to seeing the shocked expressions of those humans when they saw him in the future.

A willow tree that was as intelligent as humans was terrifying to imagine.

Most importantly, this willow tree knew how terrifying human nature was. It had been wary of humans since its development…

The scariest thing is the unknown and I’m evolving in a direction that I don’t even know about.

Thinking to himself, Lin Meng moved his evolution points once again.

With the current speed at which the white fog was spreading, it was still far from meeting his needs.

He had to use his evolution points to strengthen himself.

Ding! “Dense fog shrouding ability increased. Evolution points consumed 10 points.”

Turning his gaze, Lin Meng looked at the leaf that had a special ability.

Dense Fog Shrouding LV2 – Activating his main body to emit white fog, he could cover an area of dozens of kilometers or even 100 kilometers with himself as the center, concealing himself. At the same time, the white fog could reduce one’s vision and visibility was less than four to five meters. (The thick fog, which was activated by spiritual power, could hardly be blown away by the wind.)

Looking at this enhanced ability, Lin Meng was stunned.

Terrifying.

It could only be described as terrifying.

If this ability was activated in a city, it was enough to paralyze a city.

One had to know that visibility was less than four to five meters. What kind of concept was that.

That meant that when humans were driving, they did not have time to brake and would crash.

The active lethality of the thick fog was not strong but the passive lethality was extremely strong.

Needless to say, Lin Meng’s white fog could cover an area of 100 kilometers.

There was another point that was even more terrifying. This thick fog was very difficult to blow away by the wind.

With this ability, Lin Meng’s worries in the future would be completely solved.

This way, he would not have to worry about the thick fog that he had worked so hard to create being blown away by the man-made wind.

…

“Hu…”

He took a deep breath.

Lin Meng was also a little excited.

The current him had already seen a kind of hope.

The Kingdom of Fog.

A terrifying region that was covered in thick fog.

There, the visibility was reduced by half.

The human senses were weakened.

There were also many ferocious mutated beasts that appeared in the white fog.

Using the thick fog to create a kingdom, coupled with the hallucination ability, shouldn’t be a dream.

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Meng was certain.

As long as he was stronger, this goal would be easily achieved.

At this moment, he raised his head and looked at a valley that was already covered by the thick fog.

A blurry outline.

Large trees appeared and disappeared in the white fog. It was extremely terrifying.

Not to mention Lin Meng’s true body in the depths of the white fog.

As the white fog spread, the wild beasts in the valley cried out uneasily.

Wolf howls. Crane cries…

The terrifying white fog had already made these wild beasts nervous.

They were filled with fear towards the white fog.

Lin Meng thought to himself, “Slowly get used to it.”

Lin Meng would not help these wild beasts disperse the thick fog.

Now was the time for all living things to rise up.

Life was constantly evolving.

And these wild beasts and animals would also adapt to the thick fog faster.

Lin Meng believed that it wouldn’t be long before they would evolve the ability to adapt to the thick fog.

And when that time came, the thick fog would become their natural protective umbrella.

The beasts would also transform into the most terrifying hunters in the fog country.

They would truly become existences at the top of the food chain.

Just as Lin Meng was obsessed with the spread of the thick fog.

In the country where the mountain was located, in a mysterious place.

A square-faced middle-aged soldier wearing a military uniform was sitting quietly in his office.

Dang! Dang! Dang! 

There was a knock on the door.

The middle-aged soldier frowned and sighed. “Come in.”

“Yes, sir.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a tired-looking young soldier hurriedly walked into the office.

“Sir, recently, the mutated beast riots in our province have intensified and the incidents of people being injured have become more frequent.”

As he spoke, the young soldier spread out another map and pointed at the red circles that had just been drawn on the map. His tone was solemn.

“The concentration of spirit energy in these few places has become even more intense. Vaguely, there are mutated beasts that have grown up and come into being.”

“Is that so?”

Looking at the solemn expression of the young soldier, Jack, the middle-aged soldier also sighed.

This was not the first time that the concentration of spiritual energy had increased.

Since the existence of spiritual energy had been confirmed, the country had discovered many times that the concentration of spiritual energy had increased abnormally.

And such a situation also meant that a more powerful mutated beast might appear out of nowhere.

And here, the most famous was none other than the “Penghu Incident.”

Penghu, a chain of islands on Earth.

Since 1967, the number of air crashes in the Penghu Sea had reached 11.

But such an astonishing record was broken in the past six months.

In the past six months, the number of plane crashes had reached 17.

The number of missing ships had reached 20.

Such an astonishing record was enough to make the higher-ups uneasy.

But, there was nothing they could do.

Two months ago, the country had already proved that there was a group of terrifying mutated crows and mutated sea beasts lurking there.

The mutated crows swallowed the plane.

The mutated sea beasts swept away the ship.

The two of them, one in the sky and the other in the sea, made the Penghu Sea area a forbidden area of death.

And this was what the experts said, “As the powerful mutated beasts become more and more territorial, any creature that tries to intrude into their territory will be regarded as prey by them.”

And for humans, planes and ships that could make a loud noise were the most important targets.

However, facing such mutated crows and sea monsters…

The country didn’t have any good ways to deal with them.

The mutated crows were fine.

The country had already arranged special forces to snipe them, but the mutated sea monsters knew that they hadn’t found their specific location yet.

The depths of the sea have always been a strange place for humans.
