Chapter 156 The miraculous effects of pine nuts!
The ripening of the pine cones caused all the evolved creatures present to erupt in excitement!
The giant bear pulled the black king snake even harder, while the beam of light in the striped tiger's eyes frantically attacked the tiger father!
They couldn't wait to defeat the Cangnian family and get to eat the pine nuts!
But the next second, the part of the black king snake's lower body that was covered suddenly deflated.
Then, the irresistible aroma that had captivated all the evolved beings present abruptly ceased, leaving only a faint lingering aftertaste.
"Well done!"
Seeing this, Cang Nian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Zhizhi~!
Suddenly, the little sable, who hadn't participated in the battle, darted over to Cangnian's side.
Cangnian had already told it before that, regardless of whether anything unusual happened, the pine cones should be put into the storage space as soon as they matured!
Cangnian had already thoroughly tested what the little sable's storage space could hold.
First of all, this storage space isn't suitable for storing just anything.
Through detailed research, Cang Nian discovered a pattern.
That is, inanimate objects can definitely be used as containers, living things with independent consciousness cannot be used, but things that are active but lack independent consciousness can be used.
Like prey that has just been killed, you can say it's alive, but it's already dead; you can say it's inanimate, but most of its cells are still active.
But this kind of thing can be put inside.
Pine cones, being fertilized eggs used by pine trees for reproduction, are definitely viable.
But it has no independent consciousness, so it can be put inside the little sable.
During previous tests, Cangnian even tried to reach his claws into the storage space, but he couldn't. When he touched the light wheel, he was blocked by an invisible wall.
The large pine cones were stored in a storage space, completely isolated from the outside world, so the smell quickly dissipated.
Then, the evolved birds that had suddenly attacked regained their senses, their eyes showing confusion.
But seeing so many powerful creatures here, they quickly flapped their wings and fled.
On the ground, the evolved creatures that had been charging at the pine trees also came to their senses. Seeing the scene of blood flowing like a river, they were terrified and fled in panic.
Some bolder carnivores even try to snatch up a ready-made prey.
If you're lucky, you'll find fresh prey; if you're unlucky, you'll find animal hides and bones that have been eaten away by dodder.
This terrified the men, who fled in panic, not daring to even look over the other corpses.
Meanwhile, on Cangnian's side, the little sable jumped onto Cangnian's back and was carried by Cangnian to avoid the pursuit of those evolved creatures.
Zhizhi~!
After a while, the little sable tugged at Cangnian's fur, signaling him to find a place to stop.
When Cangnian stopped, the little sable opened a halo, and then a large, tender white pine nut fell out. It was held in the little sable's two small paws and presented to Cangnian.
These pine nuts are white and tender, about the size of an orange, but rather flat, and they emit an enticing, rich aroma.
The little sable has developed its storage space quite thoroughly.
Originally, it could only put things inside, but now it has discovered that as long as it concentrates, it can see what the items in the storage space look like, and it can also control them at will.
For example, it can cut up the meat stored inside and take it out for the children to eat.
Just now, it peeled open the pine cones that were stored in its storage space and took out the pine nuts inside!
It even removes the hard outer shell of the pine nuts, making them ready to eat.
Cang Nian didn't stand on ceremony; he deftly rolled the pine nuts into his mouth with his tongue and swallowed them in one gulp.
A tiger's lower jaw can only move up and down, not left and right, so it has virtually no chewing ability and can only swallow.
As soon as he swallowed the pine nuts, Cang Nian felt all his fatigue disappear and his condition return to its peak!
[Ding! Consuming "Spirit-Nourishing Pine Nuts" will restore you to your peak condition!]
[Ding! Special bonus obtained: Precocious!]
[Precocious: Gains the ability to evolve to the next stage ahead of time; all subsequent skill changes will increase the user's evolutionary rank by 1!]
[Ding! The "Numerical Master" has acquired a new skill: Numerical Manipulation!]
[Numerical Manipulation: The "Free Attribute" skill can be used on any target. The target will not resist, and the effect can last for up to 5 minutes. If the target resists, the duration will depend on the target's strength and the intensity of their resistance. Numerical manipulation can only be performed on a single target once per hour.]
As Cang Nian consumed the pine nuts, a series of system notifications popped up in his mind one after another!
"Hmm? The special effects of these pine nuts are really this amazing?"
Hearing this series of system notifications, Cangnian was overjoyed!
Keep in mind that just getting back to full strength is already a huge relief!
And this is just the most basic effect!
A [Precocious] bonus doesn't change your evolution level, but it directly grants you the ability to advance to the next evolutionary tier!
Moreover, this numerical manipulation is quite impressive!
Used on friendly targets, this ability allows you to apply [Free Attributes] to them, adjusting their values and enhancing them for 5 minutes!
When used on the enemy, it can also change their attributes. Although the duration is certainly not as long as when used on friendly targets, it can still be surprisingly effective when used at crucial moments!
For example, if the enemy target excels in strength, you can temporarily weaken the opponent by shifting its strength attribute to the relatively useless spirit attribute, thus creating an opportunity to use your strength to defeat the weak!
"By the way, [Precocious] grants the ability to advance to the next evolutionary stage ahead of time, so doesn't that mean the skills [Freedom Attribute] and [Overlimit Burst] have also been enhanced?"
Then, an idea flashed through Cang Nian's mind, and he quickly looked at the system panel.
【Strength: 141】
【Speed: 181】
[Defense: 141]
[Stamina: 141]
【Spirit: 141】
Maximum free attribute points: 50%
[Maximum Overlimit Burst Attribute Points: 20%]
There weren't many changes in the attributes; each attribute increased by 1 point.
However, the strength of the two skills has changed dramatically!
The cap for [Free Attributes] has been increased from 30% to 50%!
[Overlimit Burst], the upper limit has been increased from 10% to 20%!
The increase in the value of the [Free Attribute] makes it more flexible to allocate your attributes, and significantly improves your regular combat strength!
The increase in the value of [Overlimit Burst] may seem small, as it only increases from 10% to 20%. However, when multiplied by the burst multiplier, it becomes extremely terrifying!
The previous 10% overlimit burst, the second level that is normally usable, has a burst intensity of 180% of the original.
Now, with a 20% overlimit burst, the second level that is normally usable has a burst intensity of 260% of the original!
In other words, the power I can unleash right now is over 360!
Even in regular combat, using only the [Free Attribute] and allocating 50% of the Speed attribute to the Strength column, one can still achieve a level of 231.5!
Thinking of this, Cangnian looked down at the evolved creatures that had come to snatch the pine cones, a chilling smile appearing on his lips.
