Killing intent surged!!
As a being whose level of existence had already undergone a leap, his power could not be challenged, and his status could brook even less doubt.
The power surging endlessly within him was telling him:
He was no longer a mere mortal being.
Yet these lowly life-forms actually sought to claim a share before he had consolidated his foundation.
They even planned to devour him bit by bit?
Hmph.
Unforgivable.
Absolutely unforgivable.
A rare burst of anger drove Yu Ziyu to unleash his true might completely.
Rumble...
Terrifying tremors followed, as though a massive earthquake had erupted.
Within a hundred-meter radius centered on the ground where Yu Ziyu had taken root, countless roots surged out of cliffs, cracks in the rock...
The black roots lashed out freely in every direction like an octopus's tentacles.
Bang, bang, bang...
With one impact after another, dust billowed up, and even the earth seemed to wail.
Amid the dust filling the air, blood could dimly be seen splashing everywhere.
Against Yu Ziyu's roots, which had now been strengthened yet again, these beasts truly were like ants.
With just one slap, a wild boar was smashed deep into the ground.
With just one thrust, a mutant rat that had silently emerged from deep underground was carried into the sky by a root, thoroughly impaled.
At that moment,
The entire hundred-meter radius around Yu Ziyu became a vacuum-like domain.
Truly, the living were to keep away, and the dead were all welcome.
"This is too fucking exhausting."
With a heartfelt sigh, Yu Ziyu felt that more than half his strength had drained away.
Such an eruption was indeed terrifying: roots and branches burst into action together, blotting out the sky and sun and turning the entire hundred-meter stretch into a death zone.
But he had only just broken through, after all, and was still far from assimilating his current power.
If he did this a few more times, even his true body probably would not be able to take it.
Still, there was one thing Yu Ziyu believed: an ordinary first-tier creature was nowhere near as terrifying as he was.
Even setting aside how Evolution Points had already strengthened him all over, the mere fact that his true body was a willow tree was enough to surpass everything.
Plants were unlike animals.
It was extremely difficult for them to develop intelligence.
But once they developed intelligence, their control over their immediate surroundings alone was enough to make them a dominant power in the area.
Just like Yu Ziyu now: when he stayed still, nothing happened, but the moment he moved, everything within a hundred meters fell under his control.
Whoever came would die.
If they did not die... he would lash them again, bringing roots and branches down on them together and strangling them to death.
At this thought, Yu Ziyu could not help looking toward a Mutated Wild Boar nearby that was still desperately holding on.
This wild boar was enormous.
Judging by its build alone, it was no smaller than an elephant.
Moreover, its entire body was wrapped in thick hide, like iron plating, giving it terrifying defenses.
Even against Yu Ziyu's eruption of power, it had held out for a while.
"What a shame."
With a soft sigh, Yu Ziyu stopped holding back.
Yu Ziyu had no fondness for these beasts that wanted to "eat his flesh and drink his blood."
Had his strength been lacking, what awaited him now would have been... truly being torn apart and eaten alive.
Given that, how could Yu Ziyu possibly forgive them?
"Die."
With that murmur, his killing intent passed into the roots that resembled giant black pythons.
Rumble, rumble...
As the ground shook as though an earth dragon were turning over, several of his nine major branching roots raced through the depths underground, surging toward the boar.
"Aooo..."
As though sensing the danger, the wild boar, already drenched in blood, slowly drew its defenses inward.
But just then, before it could react-
Boom!
A giant black python shot out of the earth.
Immediately afterward, the giant black python curled sharply, wrapping tightly around one of the boar's hind legs.
At the same time, several other black branching roots burst forth one after another.
Boom, boom, boom...
They coiled around it one after another, wrapping the wild boar into a bundle in just a few breaths.
"Your defenses really are strong."
Yu Ziyu voiced his praise, yet could not help sneering:
"But do you know that what you're facing is a true monster!"
As his words fell, several branching roots suddenly exerted force, tightening little by little...
Until, with a crisp crack like the sound of breaking bones, blood stained Yu Ziyu's roots red.
Ding, you have killed an Entry-Level level 5 Mutated Wild Boar. Evolution Points +50.
50 Evolution Points, huh?
Yu Ziyu smiled, gaining some understanding.
Ordinary beasts were not worth much, yielding single-digit amounts at most, while something like a bee gave only 0.1 Evolution Points.
But these Entry-Level Mutated Beasts were different.
The Golden Giant Eagle had yielded a full 70 Evolution Points, while this Entry-Level level 5 Mutated Wild Boar had also provided 50 Evolution Points.
Although he could not yet say for certain that Entry-Level level 1 meant 10 Evolution Points, and Entry-Level level 2 meant 20 Evolution Points,
Yu Ziyu had still drawn a rough conclusion.
The stronger they were, the more Evolution Points they provided.
And these Entry-Level Mutated Beasts should yield Evolution Points in the double digits, though the possibility of individual cases reaching triple digits could not be ruled out.
Updates, more updates!! (*^▽^*).
