Secreting toxins-paralysis

"But when raising mutated animals, the most important thing was still to strengthen myself."

With that thought, Yu Ziyu immediately turned his attention to the Attribute Panel.

With 172 Evolution Points now, he could upgrade a few decent abilities.

For example, he could strengthen his branches first.

Yu Ziyu acted on the idea without much hesitation.

Ding! Do you confirm spending 5 Evolution Points to strengthen a branch?

"Confirm."

Yu Ziyu nodded his agreement.

Although 5 Evolution Points was quite a lot, the cost in Evolution Points had always matched the value received.

In other words, this enhancement was certain to be worth it.

As he thought this, Yu Ziyu felt a surging warmth suddenly rise from somewhere within his body. Before he could react, it had already spread toward a branch.

"Crack..."

With a crisp sound, as though bark were splitting, a new bud actually emerged from the tip of the branch that had been strengthened once again.

At the same time, an even richer vitality spread uncontrollably, accompanied by an even fresher, subtler fragrance.

"This..."

In a rare moment of speechlessness, Yu Ziyu also sensed an indescribable change in his branch.

Previously, strengthening his branches with Evolution Points had given him complete control over them.

Now, strengthening one on top of that complete control not only made the branch tougher, but also seemed to grant it an additional ability.

With that thought, Yu Ziyu turned his gaze to the Attribute Panel.

[Mutated branch (Lv2)-After several enhancements, this branch now rivals steel in hardness and can freely bend and grow. At the same time, it can also secrete a toxin capable of paralyzing prey or even rendering them unconscious.]

Staring blankly at this information, Yu Ziyu fell silent for a moment.

He had to admit, it really was rather frightening.

His already formidable branches could now secrete toxins as well... The mere thought was terrifying.

At that moment, a feeling arose within Yu Ziyu.

If he could strengthen all his branches once, his combat strength would increase at least severalfold.

After all, his countless branches were all his tentacles.

Wherever his branches reached, deadly attacks followed in rapid succession.

But now, after this enhancement, merely blocking those attacks would not be enough. His opponents would also have to resist the toxins he secreted.

Although he did not know how terrifying the toxin he now secreted was, the fact that it came with a Lv2 ability alone should have shown how fearsome it was.

After all, not a single Lv2 ability Yu Ziyu currently possessed was anything to scoff at.

His Lv2 Dense Fog was showing signs of shrouding a hundred thousand mountains, while his Lv2 Hallucination could use the influence of that fog to freely weave falsehoods and bewilder minds.

Of course, however terrifying Yu Ziyu's combat strength might be, he still had one drawback that could not be erased.

He was only a willow tree. Even with his astonishing individual combat strength, he still could not leave the earth.

"Phew..."

Letting out a deep breath, Yu Ziyu felt rather helpless.

If he could pull out his roots and run beneath the setting sun, what would he have to fear even from humans?

If he could not win, he could run.

With the world so vast, surely there would be somewhere he could take shelter.

Unfortunately,

what left him most helpless now was that he was rooted to the earth and could only quietly watch over this Canyon.

Just then, as though sensing something, Yu Ziyu suddenly had a thought.

"Although I can't quite bear to use you as a test subject, who told you to be the most disobedient one?"

With a teasing chuckle inwardly, Yu Ziyu turned his gaze toward Honey Badger, who was on the ground nearby, stubbornly digging a hole in an attempt to escape the Tree Cage.

Although Honey Badger, whose injuries had now mostly healed, had not chosen to leave the vicinity of Yu Ziyu's main body, he still retained his reckless nature.

Apart from going out to hunt during the times Yu Ziyu allowed, Honey Badger devoted himself entirely to burrowing out of the Tree Cage Yu Ziyu had imprisoned him in, then finding other mutated animals to fight...

If this fellow had not sensibly brought his prey back after every hunt to provide Yu Ziyu with Evolution Points, Yu Ziyu would have dealt with him long ago.

Of course, in consideration of Honey Badger providing him with Evolution Points, Yu Ziyu currently only confined it in a Tree Cage to keep it from causing trouble.

Still, this fellow was rather endearing. It seemed to have declared war on Yu Ziyu's Tree Cage.

Every time it saw Yu Ziyu raise the Tree Cage, it gave a delighted cry, then bit at it as though maddened. Only after discovering that it could not bite through the Tree Cage did it return to its old life of digging.

But even after digging deeper and deeper, reaching twenty or thirty meters by now, it still had not escaped the Tree Cage.

At this thought, Yu Ziyu could not help laughing aloud.

Then his branches swayed gently, and a green branch shot into a dark hole in the nearby ground with lightning speed.

A moment later, through the branch's perspective, Yu Ziyu spotted Honey Badger, enlarged several times over, working at full power like an excavator, its sharp claws flying ceaselessly.

Just once, just once...

Quietly, Yu Ziyu controlled the branch and slowed it down.

Fortunately, Honey Badger was currently focused entirely on digging and did not notice the approaching branch.

Just as it was about to reach Honey Badger, Yu Ziyu suddenly accelerated the branch.

"Zzt."

The sound was like a needle prick, and it happened so quickly that Honey Badger did not even notice.

Just then, under Yu Ziyu's expectant gaze, Honey Badger's movements abruptly stopped. Then its legs kicked a couple of times as though convulsing...

Already paralyzed?

Chuckling inwardly, Yu Ziyu was pleasantly surprised by the toxin's speed and potency.

But before Yu Ziyu could feel any more delight,

"Roar..."

A low growl suddenly made Yu Ziyu's expression stiffen slightly.

Looking up, he saw that the rigid, motionless Honey Badger actually shook its head, then resumed digging as though nothing had happened.

"Uh... Is this really the toxin that comes with a Lv2 ability?"

At this sight, Yu Ziyu began to question everything.

If it could not even paralyze an Entry-Level sixth-level Mutated Beast for half a day, how could this toxin possibly threaten anything at his own level?

Pulled another all-nighter and stockpiled ten thousand characters.

(*^▽^*)...

So happy... Mass release, mass release... Just wait another two days, and I'll release it all in one go. (*^▽^*)

Just thinking about it is exciting.
