"I'm just a bamboo, but I seem to be the only bamboo around here."

At this time, Lin Chenxing's consciousness was put into a bamboo derived from him by Undying Venerable, and sent to a relatively primitive life planet.

However, Lin Chenxing's common sense about his identity is now hidden by Undying Venerable, in order to allow Lin Chenxing to devote himself wholeheartedly to the evolution of bamboo.

Undying Venerable was hiding aside, observing all the changes.

However, since Lin Chenxing has his understanding and experience of all laws, this is of great help to him.

Lin Chenxing is on a planet where there is no intelligent life yet. There are only the most common plants and animals, and even the strongest animals cannot reach the level of an apprentice.

Just after Lin Chenxing landed on this planet, the entire planet's environment began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Under the control of Undying Venerable, a large amount of cosmic energy was gathered into the planet's atmosphere. Under the nourishment of this energy, these animals gradually became wise.

The bamboo where Lin Chenxing is located also took this opportunity to quickly take root and grow stronger.

Not long after, Lin Chenxing, the bamboo, faced the first crisis after arriving on this planet.

Not far away, a herbivorous animal appeared. Its body shape was somewhat like the deer on Blue Star, but its pair of long horns looked like Venus flytraps, and they were constantly opening and closing, like a big mouth.

I saw the deer, let's call it a deer for now, constantly eating the bark of those trees, and then swallowing it. After eating the bark of the tree within reach of its height, it started to eat the next tree.

This deer is like a big eater, never stopping its movements, and getting closer and closer to Lin Chenxing.

As a last resort, Lin Chenxing could only use his control over this plant to continuously extend his roots outward, as far away from here as possible.

When the deer came to Lin Chenxing, it put its nose to the edge of the bamboo and sniffed it. It seemed that it raised its head in confusion and looked at the structure on the top of the bamboo. Then it shook its head and bit Lin Chenxing.

Lin Chenxing felt very uneasy at this time, but there was no way. The plant could not move at this stage, and its roots had not grown far enough yet, and it was not time to grow bamboo shoots.

When the deer's teeth bit Lin Chenxing, there was a "click" and the deer's teeth broke into a small piece. It turned out that the deer happened to bite the bamboo joint, which is the strongest place of bamboo.

Just when Lin Chenxing started to feel happy, the deer lowered its head, opened its antlers hugely, and bit directly towards Lin Chenxing's bamboo pole.

After clamping the bamboo with its antlers, the deer twisted its head to one side in an attempt to break the entire bamboo.

However, the toughness of bamboo is considered to be the strongest among plants, so there is no way it can be broken like this.

In the end, the deer was a complete failure.

After this failure, the deer opened its antlers again and left directly. As he left, he turned back from time to time, glanced at the Lin Chenxing bamboo, and spat, as if there were still some fragments of broken teeth in his mouth.

Lin Chenxing was not in the mood to pay attention to the small movements of this deer at the moment. He felt pain everywhere in his body, and holes were pierced in some fragile places by the antlers. The wind kept passing through the hole, and some sperm flowed out of Lin Chenxing's bamboo body, which was then carried away by the wind.

"I'm not dead, I survived." When Lin Chenxing's wounds began to heal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and those Bamboo Leaf also trembled.

You know, bamboo doesn't have much bark. Once the entire circle is chewed off, it's a dead end.

Every time you take a bite, you gain wisdom. Lin Chenxing also accelerated the growth of the root, and started growing bamboo shoots every twenty meters.

The growth rate of these bamboo shoots is not as fast as Lin Chenxing imagined, because the current Lin Chenxing is just an ordinary bamboo and has no ability. It can only regulate some circulation in its body to speed up the growth of Bamboo Root. The growth of bamboo shoots is also driven by the circulation in the body.

After that, Lin Chenxing also observed the situation of the surrounding trees. The bark that had been eaten by the deer unexpectedly grew back again unknowingly. This is probably the ability that these trees have evolved in their long-term survival.

This forest should be the territory of these deer, because Lin Chenxing did not see any other larger animals.

After that deer gnawed on Lin Chenxing, it seemed that no deer was willing to try it. It was as if all the deer knew that bamboo was not a delicious plant and it also hurts their teeth.

Whenever these deer came to gnaw on Lin Chenxing, they would directly pass by without thinking about it. Only some small deer would stare at Lin Chenxing when they passed by, and then leave quickly.

In this way, a month has passed, and those former bamboo shoots have successfully grown into some relatively tender new bamboo.

Similarly, these bamboos cannot enter the eyes of these deer, and they do not bother to try and taste them. Even because they only eat the bark, the bamboos that are still in the bamboo shoot stage can grow smoothly.

For Lin Chenxing, everything is starting to develop in a better direction.

One turns into ten, ten turns into hundreds, hundreds turns into thousands, and thousands turns into thousands. This is a true portrayal of the growth speed of bamboo.

As the number of bamboos increased, the living space of the trees that were the original food of the deer began to be compressed, and this was also discovered by the deer.

The reduction of food caused these deer to try to eat the bark of the higher parts of the trees, and this also caused the deer to evolve again. Those with longer necks survived, those that could stand up and lie on the trees to eat higher parts also survived, and those that began to lower their heads to eat grasses and plants that they were unwilling to use in the past also survived. At the same time, some deer left here to find other places to survive.

Under the infiltration of high-concentration cosmic energy, with the help of Time Venerable invited by Undying Venerable, in just three years from the outside world, a hundred years have passed on this planet, but all this has caused this group of deer to differentiate in different directions very quickly.

The entire evolutionary path of the deer is also displayed before Lin Chenxing's eyes.

As food was reduced again and again, eventually, a large number of unchanged deer either left or died. Deer with longer necks began to eat the leaves, including Bamboo Leaf. After discovering the existence of bamboo shoots, those who grazed became fatter and fatter due to the lack of food. Only those deer that tried to stand upright gradually experienced some different changes.
