My Evolution Starting from a Giant Tree
Chapter 33: Spirit River

Spirit river.

A river that contained a large amount of spiritual energy.

In Lin Meng's view, this was a very good treasure.

Just his current main tree root alone was enough to know.

It had only been ten days or so.

His main tree root had become more than a degree thicker.

Moreover, what was even more exaggerated was that.

His gaze was drawn deep into the earth.

Lin Meng saw his main tree root as if it was breathing.

It expanded and contracted, swallowing and spitting out terrifying spiritual power.

This kind of swallowing and spitting was not obvious to the willow tree on the surface.

But to the tree roots that covered the earth.

It was like a catalyst.

Lin Meng could clearly feel that his countless tree roots were continuously strengthening.

What was more terrifying was that they were like a net.

It was continuously extending in all directions.

It was estimated that it wouldn't take long.

The entire canyon would be covered with its roots.

If the golden finger's evolution point was said to be an enhancement of its ability...

Then the appearance of this underground spirit river was the cornerstone that pushed it to evolve again.

"The underground spirit river is so useful to me. Compared to other mutated beasts, it's also quite useful."

After thinking for a while.

Lin Meng came to a conclusion.

If his guess was right, this kind of thing that contained spiritual energy might become a resource that everyone would fight for in the future.

...

Time passed quickly. A few days passed.

In a mysterious corner of this country.

"Huu..."

With a sigh, an old man looked at Jack who was sitting upright not far away.

He shook his head and comforted him:

"Jack, it's been hard on you this time."

"It's not hard."

Jack replied but suddenly he began to grunt twice. "Cough, cough."

He coughed a few times.

His hand, which was covering his mouth, was covered in blood.

He was seen by the old man.

"Huu, looks like you've met a ruthless character."

"He's indeed ruthless."

As he said that, Jack couldn't help but think of a honey badger.

He had really seen a ghost.

It could only be said that it was worthy of being called "the most fearless animal in the world."

Even after becoming a mutated beast.

It still didn't change its fierce power.

He picked up the tissue on the table.

He wiped the bloodstains on his hands and the corners of his mouth.

Jack began to talk about business.

"Sir, according to the information we have, the mountain is most likely mutated."

"Of course, we can not rule out the existence of powerful mutated beasts."

"Is that so?"

He nodded.

The old man picked up the document that Jack handed over.

He asked, "Where do you think the fog doesn't disperse and can affect people's minds?"

"Yes, this is also the reason why I judged that there was a mutation there. Just like other places where there was a mutation, there are all kinds of situations that can not be explained with scientific evidence."

"Indeed, it is difficult to explain the mutation. However, considering that the fog there is not very harmful, I will temporarily define that mountain as a yellow warning zone. However, remember to monitor it in real-time. Once there is a strange movement, it will immediately be upgraded to a red danger zone."

"The yellow warning zone that is the focus of surveillance?"

Jack muttered and a hint of agreement appeared on his face.

Yellow warning zone.

It was a division that the military had made according to the danger level of the area.

Other than the yellow warning zone.

There was also a green safety zone.

A red danger zone, and the most terrifying forbidden area for life.

There was no need to mention the green safety zone.

The yellow warning zone meant that there was a certain potential danger.

They needed to be vigilant.

The red danger zone meant that the danger index was quite high.

Generally speaking, such zones either had powerful mutated beasts or were filled with danger.

As for the final forbidden zone.

Its full name was the "Life Forbidden Zone."

Just this name alone was enough to tell how terrifying it was.

Up till now, there were three forbidden areas of life that humans had confirmed.

Each of them was unfathomable.

Incomparably terrifying.

It even attracted the attention of the entire world to a certain extent.

The first was the Bermuda Triangle. This place was already known as the "Devil's Triangle" before the recovery of spiritual energy.

After the recovery of the spiritual energy, the degree of terror increased exponentially.

As for how terrifying it was...

Electronic signals could not enter that area and the light in the sky could not directly shine into it.

It was always shrouded by black clouds.

The magnetic field distorted everything.

And apart from the Bermuda Triangle...

There were two other forbidden areas.

One was a large blue hole about 60 miles away from the Sea of Berris. It was like a black hole that devoured everything.

The other was located within the territory of the Federation. It was known as the "Most Dangerous Heavenly Lake."

...

At this moment, he looked at Jack's back as he left.

The old man smiled.

He asked, "I heard that you brought back a little girl this time?"

"Yes, a girl who has awakened her fire elemental talent."

Jack's footsteps paused slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He turned around and added.

"She's very good."

"Haha, it's rare for you to praise someone so much. Bring her to me when you have the chance."

"Okay."

Jack smiled happily.

If this little girl Julie could really be valued by the officer, then it would be a good thing for her.

...

At this moment, Lin Meng, who was still standing quietly in the depths of Beiyu Canyon, did not know about the conversation between Jack and the old man.

Otherwise, he would have woken up from his dream with a smile.

Although there was only a difference of two words between the "yellow warning" zone and the "red warning" zone.

However, the meaning was completely different.

It was like a forbidden zone for life.

It was worth the attention of the entire human race.

As for the red danger zone, it was under the gaze of every country.

It was constantly monitored, and if necessary, it would be suppressed by the army.

The places that were deemed to be red danger zones weren't having an easy time.

As for the yellow danger zone.

Although it was also being monitored.

It wasn't being taken seriously.

After all, there were many places within the federation that were marked as yellow danger zones.

There were simply too many to count.

If one picked up the army map, they would definitely be able to see that apart from the cities...

More than half of the areas had been reduced to a yellow warning zone.

And this was something that could not be helped.

In this era of the recovery of spiritual essence, there were too many places that were worth being on guard against.

Not only were there mutated beasts, but there were also some unknown dangers hidden in the forest.

...

"I haven't sent anyone over these few days. It seems that there isn't much of a problem."

After thinking about it, Lin Meng let out a sigh of relief.

Although he wasn't afraid of scouting, Lin Meng was still afraid of fighting with humans.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about humans and started thinking about serious matters.

Right now, he was at transcendence tier one.

According to the information that Betty had gathered...

His peak spiritual power should be around 17,000 to 18,000.

And the strongest of the mutated beasts that he had nurtured was the red fox.

It was a level 4 beast.

After eating the golden eagle, it had successfully entered entry level 6.

Its peak spiritual power was around 6,000.

He looked up.

Under the moonlight, a huge red fox seemed to be covered in flames.

It was lying on a huge rock.

However, at this moment, its gaze was extremely cold, as if it was warning something.
