Willow Tree's Tier 2 Lifeform Breakthrough! (Third update, seeking clicks and collections)

"What seems to have happened over there?"

Because the distance was too great.

Su Heng could only vaguely sense that on the other side of the mountain range, a forest was burning fiercely, dyeing half the sky crimson.

"Never mind, I should focus on the Willow Tree's advancement first."

[Willow Template Deployed]

[Willow Tree]

[Status: Good]

[Life Level: 1]

[Vitality: 10.13 (Limit: 10)]

[Height: 29.77 meters]

[Talents: Life Enlightenment (Rare Quality), Root and Stem Activation (Rare Quality), Super Absorption (Common Quality), Body Doubling (Common Quality)]

With Super Absorption combined with the Butterfly's Spring Return Technique talent.

The Willow Tree's growth speed was incredibly fast, and yesterday it had officially reached the limit for a Tier 1 life form.

Next.

What Su Heng needed to do was find a way to break through the limit.

To officially advance the second template into an extraordinary life form.

At that time, with the growth of its strength and intelligence, and with the mutated plants and animals that were everywhere in the valley.

Even without Su Heng's help, the second template, the Willow Tree, would be able to live safely in this forest.

"Then, I can finally take a break."

Su Heng thought with emotion.

He hadn't had an easy time recently; both templates were in unstable states, requiring him to constantly spend time caring for them and identifying potential dangers.

He couldn't even sleep peacefully.

As for how to break through into the realm of extraordinary life forms.

With the experience of cultivating his first template, the Great Boa Gamia, Su Heng now had some ideas.

Once vitality reached the limit of the first life stage, it would stop growing.

It was like a person, after growing into adulthood, would no longer grow taller.

This was limited by genes, and it was also the limit of a life form.

To break through this limit, Su Heng guessed there were probably two paths to choose from.

The first path.

Gradually absorb the supernatural power from the Red Moon, slowly transform, continuously accumulate nutrients, and with a strong foundation, there would be a certain chance to break through into the realm of extraordinary life forms.

Under the Red Moon, most mutated creatures took this path.

The other method, however, was much simpler and more brutal.

Directly kill a mutated creature from the realm of extraordinary life forms, absorb their nutrients, and naturally break through one's own limits very quickly.

Gamia was like this.

After devouring the Evil Spirit Leader, the Great Boa quickly advanced into the extraordinary realm.

"Speaking of which, Gamia also seems to be waking up soon."

Recently, Gamia's sleeping posture had become increasingly unsightly. A body over a hundred meters long, with a casual flick, could make the forest shake and the ground tremble.

The commotion it caused was quite significant.

As for which method the second template would use to break through its life level.

Su Heng had already made his decision.

It was naturally the second method.

Although the second method seemed riskier.

In reality, it wasn't.

In this increasingly dangerous Dark Mountain Range, weakness was the greatest sin. Su Heng had already sensed several powerful auras lingering around the valley recently.

It was clear that a mutated creature from the extraordinary realm had its sights set on the Willow Tree.

If it were just one mutated creature from the extraordinary realm, it would be manageable. With the Willow Tree's massive size and the help of the surrounding mutated creatures.

Su Heng was confident he could defeat or even kill these guys.

But if several mutated creatures from the extraordinary realm attacked simultaneously, or if they brought a large number of ordinary mutated creatures.

Then, who would win and who would lose.

It was hard to say.

But Su Heng didn't dare to gamble; he decided to strike first.

"Screech!!!"

A sharp, piercing bird cry, like metal grinding, was incredibly grating.

It suddenly appeared above the valley, interrupting Su Heng's thoughts.

A massive Black Giant Bird, with wings spread, spanning nearly thirty meters, slowly glided through the air.

"This guy… it's back again!"

Among the mutated creatures in the extraordinary domain lingering around the valley, this Black Giant Bird was the most powerful and the most rampant.

For the past few days.

It had flown back and forth over the valley several times almost every day.

Each time it arrived, this giant eagle brought immense psychological pressure to Su Heng and the many mutated creatures in the valley.

The reason it hadn't attacked immediately.

Su Heng guessed it was also wary of the Willow Tree's massive size and the mutated creatures growing around the valley.

The beasts of the extraordinary domain were already on an entirely different level of existence.

They not only possessed intelligence comparable to humans, but some of them even actively learned human languages to communicate.

So…

When encountering powerful prey.

These hunters would also observe and wait for the prey to expose its weaknesses before launching an attack.

A fatal blow!

However, as the Willow Tree grew, it was clear that the patience of this mutated Black Eagle from the extraordinary domain was gradually wearing thin.

"Since that's the case, then you shall become the sacrifice for the Willow Tree's advancement."

Su Heng whispered.

In his original plan, this giant eagle was not the first choice for breaking through the extraordinary domain.

The giant eagle with a wingspan exceeding thirty meters, its claws flashing with a metallic sheen, faintly covered in dragon scales; if this guy swooped down and grabbed fiercely.

Even the spinal dragon bones on the back of an extraordinary creature could be directly shattered.

To be honest…

Su Heng didn't have absolute confidence in defeating this giant eagle right now.

But if he didn't act now, then when the giant eagle initiated the attack, he would lose the initiative and fall into a very passive position.

The Black Giant Bird slowly landed at the lowest point, its shadow almost completely enveloping the Willow Tree.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Under the Willow Tree's special visual perception, the environment around the valley was completely fed back into Su Heng's consciousness.

He saw.

Not far away, an inconspicuous clump of weeds lay flattened on the ground, but its nine sharp, slender leaves emitted a bloodthirsty cold light.

By the stream, several wild Pea plants grew lushly, with butterflies fluttering on their petals.

Wisps of mist, carrying a special fragrance, slowly drifted out from the pistils of the Morning Glory flowers, pervading the area around the valley.

And finally…

Under the blood-red moonlight, standing outside the valley, like giants, were two tall Oak Trees.

"The path of evolution is destined to be cruel; only after experiencing storms of blood and wind can one see the bright sunlight."

"Then…"

Swish swish swish!

Green willow branches, like taut bowstrings and arrows, suddenly shot out.

In the sky, the Black Giant Bird had just glided to its lowest point, large patches of blood appearing on its body, followed by countless feathers falling off, like black snow in the dead of winter.
