Chapter 466 Evolution, Treeman, Gundam
After Lu Ji finished speaking, Tubutai felt that the vitality that he had forcibly suppressed in his body began to burst out. The harder he had suppressed it before, the more ferocious it was when it burst out.
It was as if the grain pile was poured with fuel oil, and the last punch was a tiny spark, but it could lead to an explosive fire.
Infinite vitality surged out of Tubutai's body in waves, gradually breaking down his magical defenses, strengthening his body, nourishing his lifespan, and increasing his physique, causing his entire body to begin a transition in life form.
Endless power filled his flesh and blood and swelled his body. Tubutai felt that he had endless strength. His hair grew wildly under the nourishment of his life essence and soon spread to the ground.
Since you can't hold it back, just take the opportunity to squander it!
Tubudai was furious, thinking that if I suffer, you will not be able to have a good life either. He was about to drag someone else down with him when he heard Lu Ji calmly say, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I added a little something to your life essence. I hope you like it."
Tubutai was about to stand up, but after moving a few times he couldn't move his legs. Looking down, he found that his legs had taken root on the ground, and countless white beards were firmly embedded in the ground, absorbing nutrients from the soil.
At the same time, the explosion of life essence squeezed the magic power in his body and finally devoured the remaining magic power. Then, the life essence began to transform his body, or in other words, his body was evolving!
"The evolution of organisms is a long process, which depends on adapting to the external environment and avoiding crises, thus evolving step by step into what they are today."
Lu Ji said slowly: "In the process of evolution, the bad ones are discarded, the necessary ones are kept, and the transformation and completion of life forms are achieved through the deduction of time."
"You may not know that the information contained in the most basic unit of the human body is immeasurable. It is a group of information that has been gathered step by step since ancient times. It is precisely because of the long years that life has continued to evolve and thus obtain benign mutations."
"Life force plays an irreplaceable role in this. When the evolutionary process is compressed into an extreme time, the body has difficulty adapting to the rapid evolution. In this process, both malignant mutations and benign evolutions will appear one by one. Life itself has lost the ability to choose."
Tubutai roared. His strong desire to survive made his body evolve rapidly with the support of vitality. A tougher body and a form more suitable for survival gave him stronger survival ability.
But in the process, he became less and less human, or in other words, on the premise of survival, he had abandoned his relatively weak human body and began to transform into a more bizarre form.
He grew several arms, which were constantly waving. His skin began to mutate, forming a hard stratum corneum. His hair fell off, and in order to adapt to the rapid evolution, the white beard under his feet grew thicker and thicker. Not only did he absorb nutrients from the soil, but the pores all over his body also began to plunder the surrounding spiritual energy.
Tubutai screamed in pain. The change in his life form brought him unimaginable pain, but at least he was still alive. At the same time, various benign and malignant mutations began to appear one after another. He was able to consume his excess vitality by chopping off excess bodies everywhere, but soon, the hard stratum corneum became his cage, making it difficult for him to move.
Finally, a giant tree covered with strange scales and with a weird human face on its trunk stood tall. Beneath it was an increasingly massive, tangled root system, with each tumor storing abundant vitality. It was like the most tenacious warrior, able to handle any storm.
Lu Ji walked forward, took out a small knife, and scraped off some skin, revealing green flesh with blood oozing from the wound.
Tubutai was still alive, but only alive. The huge vitality overwhelmed his consciousness. Natural selection and survival consciousness immediately determined to abandon unnecessary thoughts and untie the shackles of thinking in order to survive. So Tubutai stopped thinking to adapt to the operation of the vitality in his body. Perhaps it would take an unknown amount of time before he could have the next idea, followed by a long period of silence. Or perhaps he could comprehend a unique practice method. After all, this giant tree had evolved to absorb spiritual energy, but Lu Ji did not want to give him this opportunity.
"Well, a half-human, half-tree hybrid creature, but it's not quite appropriate to call it a tree man. After all, tree men are derived from ancient trees, while Tubutai was transformed from a human into a tree under the influence of the life force mixed with other materials. We have to be rigorous and can't confuse them."
The neurotic worm in Lu Ji's body said clearly, "What we can confirm at present is that life force can effectively act on cultivators, and because cultivators have developed themselves, their adaptability to life force is much higher than that of ordinary people."
"This makes it possible for my life completion plan to be realized. The initial experiments on life force have been completed, and the first test subject and research materials are in place. Not bad, not bad."
After admiring for a while, he began to guide Lu Ji to excavate and transplant the experimental material, which he named Ancient Tree of Life No. 1.
Another shaman was also captured by the joint efforts of several Taoist soldiers. Judging from his dusty appearance, he must have suffered a lot. Looking at Tubutai who had turned into a tree, he felt a little relieved and a little frightened, and then expressed his willingness to surrender.
In Xuanfu City, Li Shu packed up a group of white skeletons. The previous sea of skeletons was gone, and only three hundred bone soldiers were left.
When he found that the skeletons were not adapted to combat, he immediately changed his tactics. After uploading the skeletons' racial template and making the permissions public, Li Shu began to seek help from a group of neuroworm researchers to transform his skeletal soldiers.
As a result, countless skeletons were dismantled and rebuilt, giving up the advantage in numbers to form high-quality elite individuals, and the bones and death energy scattered all over the ground were the best raw materials.
The bones gathered together to form bone plates, patching up the leaky bodies of the Skeleton Soldiers, while also combining various strange types of bone soldiers.
Thanks to the efforts of the neuroworm researchers, there appeared a bone butcher with a huge skeletal body and bone chains in his hands as weapons, as well as undead knights with high mobility equipped with undead horses, heavy shield soldiers with good defense, and long-range bone archers. Several researchers even worked together to assemble a bone dragon that could not fly but could only crawl.
Doru's wizard soldiers were completely consumed in this fight-like splicing process, and the decisive step was the Gundam plan proposed by a researcher, which used the spirit energy of death as the driving energy and bones as the external armor.
When Li Shu controlled the skeleton unit-01 'Yan Luo' which was a hundred feet tall, with a crown on its head, its spiritual energy transformed into a robe and a scepter held high and appeared in front of Doru, everything was already decided.
The scepter in his right hand changed several times, and the spells were superimposed, and finally it turned into a huge cannon barrel. Through the layers of condensation, conversion, and blessing of the engraved runes, a beam of death psychic energy was shot out, taking away Doru's last bit of life.
