Chapter 725 Amazing, my foot!
However, what surprised Cangnian was that the bamboo maiden's special ability was not something like growth; it was simply a characteristic of its species.
Of course, other bamboo-like evolved plants can also continue to proliferate, but they are far less exaggerated than this one. Therefore, Luo Yun, the strongest evolved plant among the younger generation in the mountain city, suspected that this was because the bamboo maiden was struck by lightning on the night of the spiritual energy revival tide.
The new life born from destruction, the vibrant life force of all things, strengthened the unique racial characteristics of the Bamboo Maiden.
As for Bamboo Maiden's special ability, the survivors of the mountain city called it "Sword Heart".
The bamboo leaves of the Bamboo Maiden can unleash sword energy, and the bamboo body of the Bamboo Maiden can also unleash sword energy; every move she makes carries a sharpness that can break through anything.
Even when it unleashes its full power, the entire bamboo forest transforms into a mountain of sword energy, and with a single strike of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One," it can easily cleave mountains and destroy cities.
It is precisely this powerful ability, combined with its abundant spiritual power as an evolved plant, that makes even a fifth-order perfected being tremble with fear!
This is why the survivors from Chengdu no longer had to live in fear every night, afraid that the mischievous monkeys from Mount Emei would come down from the mountain after they migrated to the mountain city.
In fact, after the survivors from Chengdu migrated to the mountain city, the mischievous monkeys from Mount Emei did indeed follow their tracks and come to the mountain city.
But the Bamboo Maiden, who had already evolved to the fifth rank, used her "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin" technique to terrify the group of mischievous monkeys so much that they ran away in a panic and never dared to cause trouble again.
After that, the mischievous monkeys from Mount Emei came to take a look from afar a few more times, only to find that the survivors of the mountain city could only enter and not leave, so they had no choice but to leave disappointed.
Later, during the second spiritual energy revival tide, the Earth's surface area increased dramatically, and the New Territories divided the original area. The mischievous monkeys of Mount Emei were never seen again.
As for Luo Yun's excitement upon hearing about the capital, it was entirely due to the nature of people from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Even if there's nothing wrong, you still have to speak with full emotion.
Between the mountain city and the river city, the Yangtze River meanders, and the straight-line distance seems about the same as that between the river city and Shanghai, but in reality, it is much farther.
In addition, Jiangcheng is different from the capital and Shanghai, so it is not something that would make Shancheng wholeheartedly want to go there. Therefore, Shancheng did not have the idea of looking for them.
As for Shanghai, it's too far away. Even before the spiritual energy revival, the straight-line distance was nearly 1,500 kilometers. After the second spiritual energy revival tide, Cang Nian traveled all the way here, knowing that the search along the Yangtze River route would take more than 70,000 kilometers.
As for the mountain city, it was even further away, and I had no motivation to go looking for it.
At this distance, even a fifth-tier expert could perish on the way.
What's interesting is that, in both Chongqing and Chengdu, those in power now are not the original government officials, but the strongest group of young evolved individuals.
The mountain city is named so because during the earthquake, the municipal building was completely destroyed by the earthquake's opening and closing mechanism.
Rongcheng, on the other hand, felt that he hadn't evolved, and if he remained in power, it would be like an outsider instructing an expert. Besides, he didn't feel secure sitting in his position.
Seeing that the young evolved beings were already in charge in the mountain city because the government officials were gone, they voluntarily relinquished their power and retreated to the background to do logistical work.
However, these veteran politicians dare not let young people act recklessly. Instead, they use their experience to answer questions and help young people avoid detours.
Cangnian was quite satisfied with the situation in Chongqing and Chengdu.
There are enough survivors and a considerable number of powerful individuals. Due to the gathering effect of the bamboo maiden on spiritual energy, there are more than one hundred fifth-tier powerhouses here, and young leading evolvers like Luo Yun have reached the late stage of the fifth tier.
This strength might be far inferior to the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom and the capital, but it is in no way inferior to Shanghai. Moreover, with the presence of Zhu Niangzi, Chongqing might even be a level stronger.
Furthermore, there was no internal strife, and there was no resistance to the return of power to the capital. They simply asked the higher-ups not to treat everyone's lives so lightly, and they readily agreed.
All I can say is that the sense of ease among the survivors from Sichuan and Chongqing is truly remarkable.
However, since the process went so smoothly, Cang Nian was naturally overjoyed.
The unified task, which was originally planned to take at least a month to complete, was finished in just ten days, which was a bit too smooth.
Of course, Cang Nian wasn't one to cause trouble for no reason.
The three northeastern states suffered a devastating cold wave, leaving only two million survivors out of tens of millions of people.
Shanghai was besieged by two major dragon palaces. Of the nearly 40 million survivors, only a little over 10 million remained.
The capital city suffered from Zeus's conspiracy, and its population of 25 million was reduced to just over 10 million.
These repeated disasters have already dealt a heavy blow to the Dragon Kingdom.
For the survivors in other parts of the Dragon Kingdom, it would be best if they could live peacefully and safely.
The more survivors there are, the more likely it is that more strong individuals will emerge, and with more strong individuals, there will always be a few who can shoulder the responsibility.
"Since you have no problem here, I will leave the liaison team in the capital. If your mountain city has any space-type experts, you can go to the capital through the space passage we have built along the way."
With the permission of the survivors in the mountain city, Cangnian used the Imperial Seal of the State to establish contact with the forty million survivors at the mountain city survivor base.
The overwhelming power made Cang Nian feel that although this thing could not threaten him at the moment, it was more than enough to cause a significant impact.
Compared to Jiangcheng's mere ten million people, Shancheng is significantly stronger in both population size and the quality of its evolved beings.
Especially Zhu Niangzi, Cang Nian felt that the power of her vows that provided the Imperial Seal was not much worse than his own at the fifth level of perfection, making her one of the top individual powerhouses.
It can only be said that when Bamboo Lady said that even a fifth-level perfect cultivator would be terrified if she used her full strength, she was not bragging.
"Where are you going next?"
Luo Jun asked in confusion.
"I'm quite interested in the monkeys on Mount Emei that you mentioned. It's still early, so I'm going to go and look for them."
Also, there should be survivors from the original Dianzhou and Qianzhou here, right?
Ask them what powerful evolved creatures are found in Yunnan and Guizhou. If we have enough time, we'd also like to take a trip to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Cangnian smiled and then briefly explained his general plan for the future.
Now that the tasks entrusted to him by Ye Dingjiang have been peacefully resolved at the three survivor bases in Jiangcheng, Shancheng, and Rongcheng, the next step is to look into the evolutionary biology aspect.
The first stop, naturally, was the mischievous monkeys from Mount Emei who had driven the survivors of Chengdu to this mountain city.
"Don't be impulsive! Those monkeys are formidable! And there are many of them. Mount Emei is their home turf, so they won't be easy to deal with!"
Luo Yun, a young man with decent Mandarin, earnestly tried to dissuade him.
"So what if they're so awesome! It's only because I can't find those bastards that I'd chop them into eight pieces!"
Meanwhile, Zhu Niangzi, standing to the side, scoffed.
"When there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys can rule; when tigers come, monkeys should submit. Isn't that just a matter of course?"
But old age is a matter of course.
