Chapter 217 The Pine Tree's Fate
[Ding! 1000km of riding the wind, Riding the Wind skill proficiency +1! (22/100)]
As Cang Nian saw the towering pine tree in the distance, a system notification sounded in his mind.
This is not the location where the queen was killed; it is thousands of kilometers away from the pine tree.
However, on his way back, Cangnian kept running back and forth to wait for Tiger Dad and the others.
"The increased speed is so great! I used to be able to accumulate enough skill proficiency for the Wind Riding skill about once a day, but now it only takes two and a half hours."
Now, it won't be long before I have my first skill that has evolved to the seventh tier!
"Sixth rank is already extraordinary, what changes will occur at seventh rank?"
Now, the Wind Riding skill, which originally required several months to evolve, seemed to be within reach, and Cang Nian was overjoyed.
[Ding! Host has acquired a new disorder value!]
【Strength +100】
Speed +210
[Defense -300]
[Endurance +0]
【Spirit +0】
[Please choose whether to accept this disordered value as soon as possible!]
Just as Cang Nian was overjoyed, an untimely system notification sounded.
Only then did Cangnian remember that his newly acquired skill, [Numerical Disorder], would grant him a new disorder value every 24 hours.
"Tsk... So the increase and decrease mentioned were actually calculated based on the change in the total value!"
So, in the end, every time I receive a disorder value, my total attribute value will increase by ten points the next time?
That's pretty good; after ten days, you'll have a hundred points.
If the level of evolution remains unchanged and the system skills don't evolve, no matter how much I train, I won't see such a significant improvement.
All the reductions were applied to a single attribute at once, deducting 300 points—that's too harsh.
However, this can be adjusted using the [Freedom Attribute] to avoid the drawbacks.
Moreover, this 300-point defense reduction, when combined with [numerical manipulation], is equivalent to stripping the enemy of their fur and armor...
"In that case, I choose to accept this disordered numerical value!"
After reviewing the disordered values, Cang Nian stroked his chin with his paw, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision.
【Strength: 900】
【Speed: 560】
[Defense: 300]
[Stamina: 600]
【Spirit: 600】
Maximum free attribute points: 70%
[Maximum Overlimit Burst Attribute Points: 30%]
With Cangnian's confirmation, changes occurred inside his body, and his attribute panel also changed accordingly.
Strength and speed attributes increased significantly, while defense plummeted to half its original value, making Cang Nian feel a chill inexplicably.
If this weakening value were applied to my second-tier self, my defensive attributes would be reduced to negative values!
In that case, every attack you receive will be equivalent to real damage from a critical hit!
However, three hundred points of defense is neither a lot nor a little.
It's roughly equivalent to a standard defense strength that's above the second tier but below the third tier.
As for speed, due to the huge increase in the disorder value, it has reached 560 points, which is already normal supersonic speed!
Of course, Cang Nian doesn't usually unleash his maximum speed when training his skills.
But this also allows him to maintain a speed of over 500 kilometers per hour for long-term training!
"Huh? Why is there such a strong smell of blood and burnt food?"
As he got closer to the pine tree, Cang Nian slowed his pace.
But as the tip of his nose twitched, a complex smell rushed into his nasal cavity.
I approached with suspicion and discovered that near the pine tree, there was a ground littered with the corpses of various creatures.
Some of their bodies were covered with numerous, densely packed holes from which fresh blood oozed.
Some were charred beyond recognition, but the fire was extinguished by water and did not cause a fire.
"Was it killed by a pine tree?"
Seeing this, Cangnian already understood what was going on.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that none of these animals were purely carnivorous; only a few omnivorous brown and black bears were mixed in.
Thinking back to the swarm of insects, with countless animals rushing past, Cang Nian could now reconstruct what happened during that time.
The dense swarms of fleeing animals that he had encountered earlier were heading east, trying to escape the insect swarm.
After arriving in their own territory, they might feel that they are far from danger and decide to survive here, or they might be tired and stay here to replenish and rest.
Among these animals, the herbivores, faced with such a vast jungle, naturally eat whatever is delicious.
Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, there may only be one pine tree with such a huge size, and it has been an evolved plant that has been immersed in the second stage for a long time.
First-tier evolved meat tastes better than regular meat, second-tier evolved meat tastes better than first-tier evolved meat, and third-tier evolved meat tastes better than second-tier evolved meat.
Similarly, Cang Nian can imagine that the attraction of second-tier evolved plants to herbivorous evolved creatures should be comparable to the attraction of second-tier evolved meat to other evolved creatures.
Previously, because there was at least one evolved creature in their territory near the pine tree, and this was the main habitat of their tiger pack...
Therefore, the herbivorous species that originally lived here knew very well that this was a forbidden zone for them and that they could not get close, otherwise they would easily become food for tigers.
But the herbivores that fled from the west had no idea.
At first, the scent of my own tigers was enough to intimidate them.
But since they went to deal with the insect swarm and haven't returned for three days, those restless herbivores probably won't be able to hold back anymore.
Therefore, it is not surprising that a similar frenzy as the previous pine cone snatching occurred again.
Looking at the pine tree's messy and sparse crown, and seeing only ordinary pine cones left, one can imagine the devastation it has suffered.
Although most of the animals that fled in the previous wave were first-tier, there were also some second-tier evolved creatures among them.
The corpses on the ground also confirm this.
The ability of pine trees to withstand impact while standing still is certainly not to be underestimated.
However, the sheer number of them was overwhelming, and it was only when it was completely out of ammunition and supplies that it managed to withstand the onslaught.
As you can see, there are still some carcasses of herbivorous birds hanging among the branches of the pine trees.
In order to protect itself, it has no choice but to kill all of its opponents.
Sha sha...
Upon seeing Cangnian return, the pine tree shook its sparse needles, expressing its joy.
It thought that Cang Nian's family had been murdered!
Now it understands how good it is to have the Cang Nian family's protection.
If it weren't for the lingering scent left by the Cang Nian family, those herbivores would have rushed over long ago!
At that time, its high-explosive pine cones had not yet regrown a new batch and were powerless to resist. Although they would not die on the spot, any green parts of them would definitely be ruined.
In that case, it will be unable to photosynthesize, and new leaves will need time to grow. It may have to wait until next spring to be reborn.
During the spiritual energy revival period, wasting half a year is almost like a death sentence.
