Chapter 255 Go home!
Having consumed the mutated ginkgo fruit and gained immense benefits, Cangnian and his group saw no need to linger at Chanlan Temple any longer.
So, the group climbed the ginkgo tree, picked all the ordinary ginkgo fruits, and stored them in the little sable's storage space.
Originally, Cangnian couldn't determine the evolutionary level of this ginkgo tree, thinking it hadn't yet reached the third stage.
Therefore, after learning about the benefits of ginkgo nuts, he did not pick all the ginkgo nuts immediately, but instead thought about making them more nutritious.
However, it turns out that I had misunderstood before.
The pine tree has entered the second stage, so its huge pine cones evolve at the same time, promoting its maturity.
As for the ginkgo tree, a month has passed since the first batch of evolved creatures entered the second stage.
Therefore, this ginkgo tree is definitely not just breaking through to the second level, but has just broken through to the third level.
The upgrade brought by the third tier allowed the mutated ginkgo fruit it nurtured to receive nutritional nourishment, instantly bringing it close to maturity.
However, its size is so deceptive that it looks no different from an ordinary large ginkgo tree.
As a result, Cangnian couldn't determine whether it was second-order or third-order.
But without a doubt, its fruit, which grants it such a powerful skill, must be at the third tier.
As for why it reached the third tier...
Perhaps, being in the Zen-Lan Temple, listening to Buddhist teachings and chanting sutras, one doesn't know whether one has stood here for decades, centuries, or even longer.
Although Cangnian has proven over this period that chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist mantras significantly improves the efficiency of humans absorbing spiritual energy, it doesn't work for him, an evolved being.
However, it wasn't completely ineffective; there was a tiny, almost imperceptible change. If Cang Nian hadn't been so perceptive, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Therefore, this ginkgo tree may have listened to too many Buddhist scriptures and chants. Even if it did not develop intelligence in the past, it accumulated knowledge through cramming, which allowed it to evolve faster than other evolving plants.
At least, the number of second-tier evolved plants that Cangnian has seen is far less than the number of second-tier evolved animals.
After all, the essence of evolution is the enrichment of evolutionary factors and energy.
Evolved plants can obtain evolutionary factors contained in the spiritual energy in the air by relying on their body size, and can also accumulate nutrients that are useful to them.
However, their large size makes promotion much more difficult.
In addition, the larger the evolved plant, the less mobile it is, and the limited resources it can absorb.
Unlike evolved animals, which can continuously expand their hunting territory and accelerate their own evolution as long as they have sufficient mobility.
First-tier herbivorous evolved animals only need to eat first-tier evolved plants to accumulate enough to break through to the second tier.
Over time, the evolutionary level of animals will generally be higher than that of plants.
Therefore, Cangnian suspected that the ginkgo tree had obtained some assistance through this method, allowing it to evolve to the third stage ahead of other evolved plants.
However, what puzzled Cangnian was that the ginkgo tree hadn't done anything even after he had been at Chanlan Temple for so long and was leaving.
It seemed as if it were just an ordinary ginkgo tree, without intelligence or thought, and even the old man didn't know what its special ability was.
Cangnian didn't bother with it.
Having received all the benefits, it's time to go home!
……
Eighty days after birth.
This time, without the three monks holding them back, Cangnian and his group moved very quickly, returning to Kangcheng in just two days.
During the trip, we also passed through Mucheng.
Qin Changyi informed Liao Yongchun, the current mayor of Mucheng, that the two monks had been killed by Cangnian, without lingering.
The people of Mucheng had some regrets about this, but they didn't have any objections.
While Cangnian and his group waited for the ginkgo fruits to ripen at Chanlan Temple, Kangcheng and Mucheng had already engaged in in-depth exchanges.
Although Mu City now has a much larger population than Kang City.
However, after the revival of spiritual energy, top-tier combat power is the true reflection of a faction's strength.
Furthermore, Cangnian's strength was considered unfathomable by the people of Mu City, so they dared not comment on Cangnian's actions.
"Wow! I'm finally back! I need to take a good shower tonight!"
Bai Jue was extremely excited to be back in Kangcheng.
Although there are many places in the wild with clean water sources where you can take a bath.
But she was the only girl in the group, and it wasn't very convenient for her to take a shower while being wary of the evolved creatures around her. So, she simply didn't shower at all.
During this period, the hottest part of summer had passed, and she hardly sweated while traveling, otherwise she would have been miserable.
"Tiger Lord, let me go back with you! After you've given the ginkgo fruits to the other Tiger Lords, I'll take the rest back to Kangcheng!"
Yi Chen suggested taking out the scriptures from the little sable's storage space, as well as the daily necessities he had taken on the journey.
"Ow~!"
Upon hearing this, Cangnian nodded.
This was agreed upon before.
The most valuable mutated ginkgo fruit is eaten alone.
The remaining ordinary ginkgo fruits, although far less powerful than the mutated ones, still offer an additional means of combat and can play a significant role in crucial moments.
Therefore, this is also a very valuable item.
As he spoke, Yichen mounted Pipi and followed behind Cangnian, galloping towards the direction of Cangnian's family's habitat!
……
Perhaps because it was the first time he had been away from home for so long, the closer he got to home, the more excited Cang Nian became, and he involuntarily increased his speed.
“Ouch——!!!”
Upon seeing the towering pine tree, resembling a pagoda, standing out from the crowd, Cang Nian couldn't help but let out a loud tiger-like roar.
He is announcing his return!
The tiger's roar was incredibly penetrating; it could be heard for dozens of kilometers around.
Especially in the vicinity of Cang Nian, the surrounding creatures couldn't help but feel their livers and gallbladders tremble with fear.
Whatever they were doing before, they have now stopped.
This is the Tiger Roar skill evolved to the fifth tier, which not only greatly increases the penetrating power of Cang Nian's tiger roar, but also gives it a powerful deterrent effect!
Those of similar rank, upon hearing this voice at close range, would have no thought of resistance and could only tremble in fear!
This is the sound of a tiger's roar that startles all beasts!
Awooo—!!!
Awooo—!!!
Ow...
Then, Cang Nian heard three tiger roars from the front and back.
Before long, Cangnian rushed out of the dense forest and arrived on the other side of the pine tree.
At this moment, Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, and Black King Snake had just gotten up from the river, shook off the water droplets, and happily rubbed and licked Cang Nian, who had just returned.
"Where is Tiger Brother?"
After nuzzling against Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, and Black King Snake to express his joy at the reunion, Cangnian pondered with a puzzled look.
He just heard Tiger Brother's lazy barking!
Then, he peered over and saw that his chubby brother, Tiger, was still slowly paddling in the middle of the river.
Seeing this, Cangnian leaped and instantly covered a distance of twenty-five meters, then plunged into the water with a splash!
Pa~!
Awooo—!!!
The next second, Tiger Brother, who was leisurely paddling in the water, let out a miserable cry.
