Chapter 720 Just Ask if It Is Rare

Lu Yao named Lingji [Soft Hedgehog Fish].

The data panel of the Soft Hedgehog is stronger than that of the second-generation juvenile fish. Its initial HP and damage have doubled, but its speed has dropped by 1 point.

A new spiritual base was born.

…

[Lingji·Soft Hedgehog Fish]: The fish has sharp spines on its scales, swims slowly, and has a strong physique.

[Morphological Characteristics]: Small to medium-sized fish, with a flat head, high dorsal fin, and spines all over the body's shield scales, and is somewhat aggressive.

[Habitat environment]: Lives in water.

[Life habits]: Omnivorous, living in groups, keen on eating.

[Rarity]: Low

…

"You will gain a total of 2600 spiritual energy and 1 [Happy Journey] from this life spiritual base evolution."

Lu Yao generally understood.

Xiaoyaoyou is actually a path of biological evolution starting from fish, with the purpose of obtaining new spiritual foundations from different evolutionary paths.

If you can make a spirit base, Lord Lin will give you another chance.

In [Lingji Myth], gathering spirits collect life materials everywhere outside the virtual universe. There are also corresponding ways internally, and Xiaoyaoyou seems to be one of them.

Lu Yao immediately started the journey of the next generation of fish.

In the initial stage this time, in addition to ordinary juvenile fish, there are also soft hedgehog fish available.

Of course, choose strong new varieties.

In addition to the inherent [Iron Stomach], the Soft Hedgehog Fish also has three add-on items [Rapid Reproduction], [Social Living], and [Burrowing].

This time Lu Yao chose [living in groups].

Now that the soft hedgehog fish has a certain fighting ability, it can try to become a junior hunter.

【Countdown to 3...】

Lu Yao paid attention to the screen.

The soft hedgehog fish swims in the water, but this time it is no longer alone, but three brothers. The three fish walked hand in hand in the water, looking like good brothers who were traveling together in the rivers and lakes.

They retain their ancestors' habit of not being picky about food, munching on algae and aquatic plants along the way, and indirectly surfacing to hunt bugs on the water's surface.

After quickly upgrading to LV5, the three brothers headed towards the depths of the water.

They begin to work together to hunt other fish, starting with small fish as well. Although they are not fast, the small fish themselves are not very vigilant. When faced with the soft hedgehog fish of the same size, it is easy for them to get close to them and fight in a group before becoming food.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon the soft hedgehog encountered a more advanced predator. It was a large water snake lying in the deep water. Its huge mouth not only swallowed the small fish caught by the soft hedgehog, but also took away one of the three brothers.

The two surviving fish immediately fled back to shallow water and continued to eat algae and bugs.

As an old viewer of the animal world, Lu Yao was very calm about this.

In the original natural environment, the weak and the strong eat each other according to their abilities.

The two soft hedgehog fish brothers focused on hunting in shallow water, and gradually grew in size. The eldest fish brother reached LV20, and the second brother fish also reached LV18. They have become extra strong and their speed has also increased a lot.

Intermittently, other soft hedgehog fish came to join us, and their number suddenly increased to ten.

The food in the shallow water areas can no longer meet their needs, and the fish schools once again attack the deep water areas.

In the deep water area, the soft hedgehog fish took the initiative to find the dominant water snake in the area.

The fish swarmed up and launched a fierce attack on the enemy.

The water snake is huge, but moves slowly, making it difficult to keep track of the bites from the fish. Although it also swallowed three soft hedgehog fish, it also became covered with bruises. After struggling for a while, it finally swayed and fell to the bottom of the water, motionless.

The soft hedgehogs swarmed up and ate this powerful and huge enemy into white bones.

As a result, the soft hedgehog fish completely replaced the water snake and occupied this hunting area with many swimming fish.

Lu Yao saw that of the first two soft hedgehog fish, one reached LV22 when he died, and the other reached an astonishing LV28 before death. The size had become very large, and the upper limit was much higher than before.

screen display.

【End of this generation】

"The getaway is over and settlement begins. The level gain is 28×100, the spiritual base reaction gain is 3×100, and the reproduction gain is 1×300."

"You will gain a total of 4000 spiritual energy from this life spiritual base evolution."

The experience of this fourth-generation soft hedgehog allowed Lu Yao to clarify the determination mechanism of Xiaoyaoyou.

In fact, this can be seen as three general directions of encouragement.

The first direction is to improve individual strength and try to increase the highest level of each generation.

The second direction is to hunt different species, some of which will prompt spiritual reactions. In fact, preying on other species may cause chemical reactions at the spiritual level, and the next generation's optional fragmentation ability depends on this direction.

The third direction is crazy fertility, which is purely focused on increasing the number of reproductions and following the breeding flow.

Each has its own way of playing.

…

Before he knew it, Lu Yao had been playing [Xiaoyaoyou] all day long.

After the soft hedgehog fish, he tried several evolutionary directions.

For example, [Poisoning], equipped with this ability, the attack of the soft hedgehog will cause the enemy to continuously lose blood. But in actual combat, those who can be defeated by the soft hedgehog can turn the opponent into food. Even if the enemy is poisoned by the enemy that cannot be defeated, the soft hedgehog still has to die. Without microcontrol, the poisoning ability becomes useless.

Of course, it may also require other abilities to match it - such as long-range attacks, but currently there is no similar fragmentation ability.

Another example is [Dig Holes], which allows the soft hedgehog to hide under the water and conduct ambush at a fixed point. However, this hibernation will lead to the loss of space to eat water plants and algae, and completely rely on hunting other fish, which increases the risk of survival and reduces growth.

Another limitation is that only three initial abilities can be configured.

Lu Yao finally determined the iron triangle combination of [Iron Stomach] + [Living in Groups] + [Insight] (able to see the weaknesses of prey).

These three characteristics remain unchanged. After several generations, the initial levels of these abilities have actually increased. Iron Stomach has reached LV3, and Living in Groups has also reached Lv2. It can be seen that the improvement of natural evolutionary abilities requires a long time to cultivate.

As the level limit of soft hedgehogs continues to rise from generation to generation, they eat everything and are eaten by other species. After a large number of spiritual base reactions, a new branch has developed.

"This life spiritual base evolution is successful, and spiritual energy × 6000 and [Xiaoyaoyou] × 2 are obtained."

The screen shows a well-proportioned black fish. Unlike its ancestors, the spines on its body have disappeared, and its strong fins can support its body like feet to stand. It can not only live and hunt in the water, but also live on the shore and hunt insects.

Lu Yao named it [Landing Fish].

The spiritual base rarity of the landing fish is medium, and the spiritual energy it brings is also greater.

Lu Yao looked at the fish that could land, and couldn't help thinking that this seemed to be a sign of marine life evolving into amphibians.

The higher the rarity of the species, the higher the spiritual energy it obtains.

So Lu Yao made up his mind.

It seems that I have to do a lot of hard work today.

...

Nearly ten hours later, Lu Yao looked at the new species on the screen with tired eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The spiritual base of this life has evolved successfully, and spiritual energy × 72,000 has been obtained, [Xiaoyaoyou] × 20."

The image in the center of the screen is a strange black fish.

It has fin-shaped limbs, a long tail, membrane wings on its back, and three pairs of six insect-like antennae on its head. This fish can glide, enter the water, crawl on land, and the tentacles on its head can also serve as tactile, olfactory and auditory receptors.

It is definitely the Marine Corps among fishes, and the sea, land and air are all its hunting grounds.

Don't worry about whether it is strange or not, just ask whether it is rare or not.

Lu Yao named this spiritual base with high rarity [Amphibious Fish].

He verified his guess with practice.

Since it is to collect various spiritual bases, the stranger and narrower the path, the more likely it is to create some strange and rare species in nature.

Displayed in the upper right corner.

Psychic power: 282577.

Lu Yao took a sip of lemonade.

The income he achieved from Xiaoyaoyou today exceeded 200,000 spiritual power.

Compared with mining in the mining area, Xiaoyaoyou is undoubtedly an industry with higher income and higher upper limit.

It's just that this requires an access permit and the threshold is high.

Lu Yao has now achieved self-sufficiency in the number of Xiaoyaoyou, as long as he can create new spiritual bases.

I have found a new way to open source in an era of high consumption.

[Xiaoyaoyou] itself focuses on thinking, and life actions and evolution are in the auto chess mode, which is also very much to Lu Yao's appetite and interest, and there is no need to worry about operation problems.

Just as Lu Yao was about to start the evolution of the next generation [Amphibious Fish], a prompt suddenly appeared on the screen.

[Jindan Country wants to exchange "alchemy" for "theology". ]

[Your civilization has not yet mastered "alchemy", do you want to trade? ]

Jindan Country?

This name sounds like a civilization that cultivates immortals.

Lu Yao couldn't help but get excited.

I have been in the virtual universe for quite a while, and finally I saw a pure oriental world of immortal cultivation!

He couldn't wait to double-click the entry, and the perspective jumped to a new space.

This is a piece of sand and rocks, and the giant totem is crookedly inserted into the ground, with only half of its head exposed, like a giant observing in the dark.

And next to the totem, there is a little man standing.

It was a white-haired old man wearing a straw hat and ragged clothes.

A dialog box popped up above the head of the little man named [Zhang Cheng]: "Heavenly Evil God from another world, please complete the exchange with me."

"I will use the alchemy I know to exchange for the theology in your body that is close to the gods."

"I need to know more about the gods."

"Although I don't know if you can hear my voice... but you are my only chance... Master said not to contact you, but it doesn't matter now."

"Take away my alchemy and soul, I need theology! I need to find the weakness of the gods!"

"To fight against the gods, only a powerful evil god like you can do it?"

Lu Yao was stunned, and then curious.

I didn't expect it.

Behind the Colossus Totem trading technology this time, someone actually wanted to defeat a god.

It's really rare to see a pixel man who has the ambition to declare war on the gods.

Let me see what you are going to do.

Lu Yao observed intently.
