Chapter 172: Moving Mountains and Filling Seas

The East Continent has vast and flat grasslands, with few locals, and most of the pixel people have migrated to the Twin Cities in the West Continent.

Now this place is more like a vast and dangerous hunting ground. Hunters and adventurers come here to hunt, capturing live antelopes, wild horses, and even wolves and lions, and many people have died here.

Due to the existence of the local extraordinary creature, the Fiery Chicken, the change of eras has little impact on the East Continent.

Lu Yao set the test field in the East Continent, first because there is a complete and stable ecological chain here, second, there is no influence from the pixel people, and third, the area is large enough.

To release a new species, a stable and balanced environment is necessary.

Otherwise, a new species will encounter a group of man-eating crabs or a group of sea fishermen as soon as it enters, and the mortality rate will be very high.

Lu Yao fixed his perspective on the westernmost side of the East Continent, where there is an oval bulge, which is just right.

He pointed out the miracle [Earthquake].

The animals were scared and fled in all directions during the tremor of the earth, and the Fiery Chicken also wisely retreated to the inland area to avoid the natural disaster.

The continuous earthquakes plowed the ground of the East Continent, forming a deep trench that almost directly cut the elliptical area from the main continent, causing the land on both sides to rise, forming two new mountain ranges and ridgelines.

Lu Yao also cast [Hurricane] on a large scale, assisted by [Lightning] and [Rainfall], to scare away the creatures in the surrounding area as much as possible and reduce unnecessary damage.

He used miracles to repeatedly change the landforms to separate the experimental area and the East Continent as much as possible.

The valley between the two places became deeper and deeper, and the peaks also rose. The sea water flowed in from both sides and turned into a wide and steep strait.

Then Lu Yao focused his attention on the elliptical test site, and further cast earthquakes around it, squeezing out high mountains, enclosing the middle into a large basin, retaining the local plains and part of the forest.

There are also some small animals in the basin, including monkeys and squirrels in the trees, voles in the soil, and some flying birds. They stayed for various reasons.

During the entire landform transformation project, Lu Yao wiped and modified, painted and painted, and consumed 283 [earthquakes], 77 [hurricanes], 12 [lightning] and 4 [rainfalls].

The total cost was as high as 13,910 points of faith.

This is just the initial landform change of a small piece of land.

If the faith reserve was not strong enough, Lu Yao would not dare to carry out such drastic regional transformation.

After building the basic framework, the next step is to release it.

Lu Yao opened the transparent plastic box on the table.

There were three black beetles in the box, which were pet insects purchased online. They are called Chinese giant flat shovels, with black-brown body color, flat body, and well-developed large jaws, like a pair of serrated pliers, and their appearance is quite majestic.

Although this beetle has an aggressive personality, it feeds on tree sap and fruit and moves slowly. Lu Yao chose it because he hopes to increase the diversity of extraordinary creatures, and he personally liked it when he was a child.

He released the first beetle into the pixel world.

[Unknown stag beetle is reducing its dimension...]

Under the black beetle icon, the progress bar is moving slowly.

Lu Yao dragged it to the test basin and released the mouse to place it. The stag beetle immediately came to life, and its strong body crawled on the ground.

A new prompt popped up in the simulator.

[Unknown stag beetle entered this world. ]

...

[Unknown stag beetle LV1]

HP: 62/62

Mana: 1/1

Damage: 3

Defense: 6

Speed: 3

[Strong]

HP is higher than normal, and can maintain strong fighting spirit for a long time.

...

Lu Yao waited patiently.

About ten minutes later, a prompt appeared on the display.

[Unknown stag beetle successfully integrated into the world. ]

You name it ___.

Lu Yao thought to himself that it was indeed true.

As long as the released animal can survive in the wild for a period of time, the simulator will determine that it has integrated into the world. To some extent, it is faster than passing through the hands of the pixel man, but it is also more uncontrollable.

Lu Yao named it [Fighting Stag Beetle].

Then, he released the remaining two stag beetles to the experimental continent in batches.

There were no unexpected mutations this time, all of them were the same [Fighting Stag Beetles].

In the experimental basin, except for the female stag beetle, the two male [Fighting Stag Beetles] fought as soon as they met, and the upper palates of the two antlers clamped and poked each other.

Lu Yao knew that the stag beetles were fighting for territory. As a result, no one could do anything to anyone, and everyone could not break each other's defense. The scene of wrestling with each other was very lively, but it was a waste of effort.

After a while, they both dispersed, as if they ended their friendship with martial arts.

The next was a period of quiet development.

The fighting stag beetles began to bite the leaves in big mouthfuls. Their body size stopped changing when they grew to the size of wild boars. The level of their heads increased rapidly, and they all reached LV5. After reaching this hurdle, they stopped growing rapidly.

Then, a male fighting stag beetle turned its target to the outside world.

It flapped its wings to leave the basin and flew over the strait. As a result, it was attacked by the turkey when it landed on the opposite shore.

Many extraordinary creatures have a strong sense of territory.

Physical defense could not withstand the forced blood loss caused by the burning of the flames. The fighting stag beetles were burned by the flames of the turkey and retreated all the way. Finally, they fled back to the basin of the experimental area.

The three fighting stag beetles returned to their past peaceful life. They devoured the leaves of the forest and ate except for sleeping. Slowly, the second generation of small stag beetles was born.

The fighting stag beetle clan slowly reproduced and grew.

Lu Yao started to release the next species.

He opened another box, which contained six green pupae.

This is the pupa of the Citrus Papilion butterfly, which hatches into a butterfly.

Lu Yao carefully placed the pupa on the mouse.

Unlike stag beetles, there is a more specific reason for pupal release.

Butterflies spread pollen, which benefits the growth and hybridization of various plants throughout the world. After dimensionality reduction, they will become extraordinary creatures with lifespans and survivability far exceeding those of ordinary insects. In theory, they will have a certain promotion effect on plants in the entire pixel world.

[Unknown butterfly chrysalis is in the process of dimensionality reduction...]

Pupa progresses quickly.

Lu Yao placed it in a relatively safe mountain col and watched the surroundings to prevent other animals from interfering with the incubation process.

After a while, the pupa began to emerge, and a blue butterfly slowly spread its wings and flew.

A prompt appears on the screen.

[Unknown butterflies enter this world. 】

Lu Yao named it [Green Swallowtail]

…

【Green Swallowtail LV1】

HP: 22/22

Mana: 10/10

Damage: 2

Defense: 1

Speed: 8

【Scale powder】

When it vibrates its wings, it releases scale powder, causing illusory light and scenery to appear around it.

…

Green swallowtail butterflies fly among the woods and grass, bringing out patches of phosphorescence. Just after emerging from the pupa, the butterfly was cautious about the entire pixel world and flew around the basin.

Lu Yao reduced the dimensions of the remaining five pupae into the simulator in one go.

However, this time only four were successful and one failed.

In addition to the [Green Swallowtail], a special variety was also found through dimensionality reduction, which Lu Yao named [Stinky Swallowtail].

The stink swallowtail butterfly and the green swallowtail butterfly have basically the same colors and panels, but different abilities.

…

【stench】

When in danger, it will release a stench that will make enemies sick and vomit.

…

It looks like it has better survivability.

After doing all this, Lu Yao felt a little sleepy.

He summoned Apostle Philus and gave it an order: to keep an eye on the experimental area, observe the follow-up situation of the two new species, and provide certain protection if necessary.

The skeletons are experienced and well suited for this task.

Philus, who acted as a biological observer, was officially stationed in the Divine Creation Basin in the Eastern Continent.

…

The tired Lu Yao returned to his room. He locked the door, closed the curtains, and lay on his back on the bed.

"Low heat, press for fifteen minutes."

"Yes, Lord Kami."

The cactus in the flowerpot shook off the mud on its body, wiped its body clean with a paper towel, and then carefully walked all the way to the generous back of the god and started massaging...

On this calm night, a brand-new species that had never existed was born in the basin of the experimental area.

It will stand on top of the pyramid of the basin for quite some time.
