Chapter 141 The Beasts Covet
[Ding! Surfing distance reached 100km, Surfing skill proficiency +1! (1/100)]
"This area is quite large..."
Relying on his own strength and wanting to find out what was going on, Cangnian swam downstream along the river.
Only after the skill of riding the waves has accumulated enough proficiency can the faint fragrance emanating from the huge pine cone and the instinctive attraction from the depths of one's soul become almost imperceptible.
Although, this could also be due to my overly keen sense of smell.
But Cangnian believes that there must be many evolved creatures with a sense of smell that is comparable to his own.
The number of evolved creatures that attracted the pine trees must have been quite formidable.
Without further thought, Cang Nian went ashore, shook off the water droplets, and ran wildly upstream.
……
[Ding! Sprinted 100km, Sprint Skill Proficiency +1! (57/100)]
With a system notification, Cangnian saw the pine tree standing out from the crowd not far away.
Compared to other trees that are only 60 or 70 meters tall, the pine tree is about 150 meters tall, which is too outstanding.
"Looks like there are quite a few guys looking to get themselves killed..."
Looking at the remaining bloodstains on the grass near the pine tree, Cang Nian sneered inwardly.
Upon arriving at the foot of the pine tree, Cangnian saw the black king snake swallowing its food.
At this moment, only the black king snake and the little sable remained in the house.
Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, and Tiger Brother are nowhere to be found; they've probably gone out for exercise or to patrol their territory.
As for the bloodstains, they were undoubtedly the work of the pine trees.
After all, black king snakes don't need to tear or bite when they eat; they simply constrict and swallow their prey.
Looking at the black king snake's slightly thickened body, Cang Nian knew that the big guy had eaten quite a bit during the two and a half hours he had spent running back and forth.
Clearly, without the deterrent presence of his family of four tigers, and with the black king snake having no scent, the surrounding creatures assumed that the area around the pine tree was temporarily safe.
Therefore, they tried to steal the pine cones.
The result was obvious: the pine cone machine gun was no mere decoration. At level two, it could easily kill a level one evolved creature with a single burst of fire.
However, pine trees don't seem to be able to eat the flesh and blood of evolved creatures.
And so, evolved creatures that came to steal pine cones and were killed by the pine trees became food for the Black King Serpent.
With evolved creatures killed by the pine tree, and the massive body of the Black King Serpent descending from the tree and appearing here, the evolved creatures that had been attracted by the fragrance of the pine cones regained their senses and dared not approach.
But because the pine cones smelled so tempting, they were reluctant to leave and hid nearby, hoping to wait for an opportunity to snatch them.
What they didn't know was that Cang Nian's family had already reached the second tier, which was qualitatively different from them, who had only evolved once with the tide of spiritual energy recovery.
Upon seeing Cangnian return, the Black King Serpent swam over to his side and nuzzled him affectionately with its large head.
I stroked the black king snake's head back and forth with my claws; its highly textured scales had a very unique feel to them.
Seeing that the black king snake was still edible, Cang Nian rested for a while before dashing into the dense forest.
The pine cone machine gun is ultimately not a true firearm, and its attack range is limited.
Cang Nian looked at the location where the bloodstains were left. The furthest one was fifty meters away from the edge of the pine tree canopy.
This should be slightly shorter than the killing range of a pine tree. Considering the distance between the pine tree crown and the trunk, its attack range should be close to one hundred meters.
Further away, the pine trees become unreachable.
This phenomenon was naturally discovered by more than just Cang Nian.
The surrounding evolved creatures also noticed this, so they hid outside the pine tree's attack range, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
But they didn't realize that this place, outside the pine tree's attack range, was within the old man's attack range.
10% Power, Second Gear Overlimit Burst!
Cang Nian did not hesitate to use his superpower. He sacrificed three hours to seal ten points of his strength attribute in exchange for five seconds of 180 points of strength!
With astonishing speed and terrifying bursts of speed, as Cang Nian rushed to the place where those evolved creatures were concentrated and hidden, he didn't care what kind of animal his target was, and began to reap their lives one claw after another!
[Ding! Slaughtering a prey, Slaughter Skill Proficiency +250! (49250/100000)]
[Ding! Slaughtering a prey, Slaughter Skill Proficiency +179! (49429/100000)]
[Ding! Slaughtering a prey, Slaughter Skill Proficiency +325! (49754/100000)]
In just five seconds, Cangnian killed three evolved creatures of different sizes, all of which were heavier than him.
Under other circumstances, he would find it difficult to kill multiple prey in five seconds.
But now, these prey are attracted by the smell of pine cones and gather together with very little space between them, which is why they have this effect.
The commotion startled the evolved creatures that were still waiting for an opportunity, and they fled in panic.
In an instant, birds and beasts scattered, demonstrating Cangnian's power as a top predator.
"Ow~!"
After finishing, Cang shouted at the Black King Serpent.
He's not very hungry yet.
I just ate a second-stage evolved deer that I forced myself to eat yesterday.
Moreover, even if you want to eat, you have to find a good target, capture it alive as before, feed it with evolution factors to make it into a second-tier animal, and then enjoy it properly.
Now, a first-order evolved creature is only good for feeding its own family.
Only flesh and blood of the same second tier can promote evolution when consumed.
Upon hearing Cangnian's cry, the Black King Snake swiftly swam over. Seeing Cangnian point to the three prey on the ground with his claws, it skillfully swallowed them.
The black king snake was quite familiar with the feeding provided by the old man.
Zhizhi~!
Just as the black king snake was swallowing its third prey, the anxious cry of the little sable came from the pine tree.
"what happened?"
Upon hearing the sound, Cang Nian was startled, but he didn't waste any time. He arrived at the tree trunk and quickly darted up the tree!
In just a few seconds, he arrived near the pine cone, where the little sable was blocking the way.
However, there was a bloodstain on its side, as if it had been grazed by something.
Cang Nian followed the little sable's gaze but saw nothing.
"Huh~?"
Seeing this, Cangnian was puzzled and called out to the little sable to inquire about the situation.
Zhizhi~!
The little sable was overjoyed to see Cang Nian arrive.
It was unaware that Cangnian had returned and was thinking of calling up the Black King Snake to help!
Whoosh~!
But before the little sable could explain what had happened, Cangnian heard a whooshing sound behind him!
Cangnian's reaction speed was impressive. Just by listening to the sound, he was able to determine the opponent's attack path. With a slight tilt of his head, he caused the attack to miss.
Then, Cangnian turned his head and saw an unnatural ripple in the air on the tree branches not far away.
