Chapter 606 Adapting to Evolution (Additional Update)

…

All the insects in the Xianglan Mountain Kingdom once witnessed the coming of the divine power of the law, and the Great King Bai was born.

After everyone understands the Law God Tree, they naturally take it for granted that the King Cypress is one of the 55 Law God Trees that are fixedly born in the Force Star Realm.

However, it turned out not to be the case!

Why?

However, the identification method mentioned by the Edelweiss Spider King is certainly correct.

Long cypress is surrounded by circles.

Mo Lan hoped to ask: "Long Bai, will the law tree born randomly be more powerful?"

Long Bai was unsure and said: "I have a feeling that the 'Adaptive Evolution' given by King Bai seems to be more powerful..."

Mo Lan: "Try?"

Long Bai: "This ability consumes a lot of raw energy, energy and nutrients... Eat first to recover!"

"Wait a minute!" Mo Lan suddenly remembered and asked, "Long Bai, to adapt to evolution, you need to shed your shell in order to change your form, right?"

Long Bai: "Of course."

Mo Lan: "Wouldn't that conflict with the ability of the 'forest symbiont'?"

Every time it sheds its shell, the plant factors of the forest symbiont will be shed, and the carapace will return to black, leaving only a few dark green 'seeds' on the carapace. It will take a certain period of sunlight to recover.

Long Baining choked for two seconds and replied: "No. The ability to adapt and evolve must only be activated when you need to deal with a certain situation, not just for fun."

--oh!

--right!

Mo Lan suddenly became impatient and waved her tentacles vigorously, "Yinbai, what are you doing standing still? Go and hunt for the king! Fragrant cypress and black locust, you also go and prepare for the dinner celebration."

…

Long Bai woke up from his deep sleep in the middle of the afternoon.

He kept eating until late at night, replenishing his physical energy deficit due to his long-term sleep and condensation of divine patterns.

The original energy in the body is also restored to a full state.

"That's it!"

Long Bai solemnly announced.

Immediately afterwards, silver-white divine patterns appeared on the back armor, which lasted for seven or eight seconds, and the calmness was hidden.

Mo Lan's eyes sparkled.

The eyes of the ants are hopeful.

Joining in the fun, Nan Qian and Hei Huang, who had been bickering, also fell silent.

There was only a slight clicking sound, and a vertical stripe split open on the dragon's cypress carapace and quickly spread to the top of the head, abdomen and tail.

shell!

Long Bai shed off his strong carapace, and his body continued to stretch. His originally strong body gradually became slender, and his graceful tail and abdomen quickly lost weight.

The jaws and head have also been slightly adjusted, making the overall body smoother and more 'penetrating', reducing the resistance of flying in the air.

The new carapace hardened quickly, the body took shape, and the body length was stretched to about 5.5 meters, half a meter longer.

Long Bai's appearance changed drastically and looked a bit weird. Not only did his abdomen lose weight, but his waist also became thinner. He looked like a combination of an ant and a wasp, especially the membrane wings, which almost replicated the wings of the bee family.

"The king is imitating the bees!"

Yinbai understood and spoke first: "The king took the initiative to activate his 'Adaptive Evolution' ability, imitating the bees and optimizing his own flying ability!"

"correct!"

"Let me try!"

With a buzzing sound, Long Bai fluttered his wings and took off, flying around Xianglan Mountain and returning to the ridge. He stopped suddenly and did not land in a hurry. Instead, he flapped his wings at a high frequency and hovered at an altitude of 100 meters. He tried many times. After adjustment, the body shape was like that of a bee, flying backwards.

It is easy to fly forward, turn left, turn right, rise, and sink. Many flying Zerg can do these flying movements, but flying backwards is rarely possible.

Long Bai rolled three times in the air, dropped sharply, flapped his wings, and landed smoothly.

"very good!"

Long Bai himself was very satisfied, "Now, I am also a flexible fighter who is good at flying in the air!"

"Congratulations, king!"

"The king is mighty!"

"The power of the law is too strong!"

All the ants praised and congratulated.

Mo Lan asked quietly: "Don't you think the king looks ugly like this?"

Long Bai: "..."

The air was suddenly quiet.

The nondescript appearance looks very awkward.

Long Bai: "It can still be adjusted. You can also practice a lot of flying exercises and various difficult flying movements to continuously adjust and optimize until you reach a perfect flying form that is both beautiful and powerful."

Hei Huai raised his paw and asked: "My lord, why do you want to imitate the bees? The bees are not the most powerful aerial race, the dragonflies are!"

Long Bai shook his tentacles and said: "Dragonflies belong to another species with another body structure. The ability to adapt and evolve can be imitated, but it is not suitable for the ant tribe. The ant tribe and the bee tribe are close relatives. The gap is not that big and they are more consistent."

Hei Huai: "Generally understand..."

Mo Lan: "Long Bai, the cold and bitter environment of the Far North! How can we adapt to the evolutionary ability?"

Long Bai: "This is very simple!"

Long Bai calmed his mind, recalling the harsh cold environment of the Arctic, and controlled his thoughts to activate his abilities.

On the back armor, silver-white divine patterns appeared, but this time they only lasted for two seconds before disappearing.

There was a clicking sound, and a crack opened in the carapace again, and the crack spread rapidly.

The dragon cypress sheds its shell again.

This time there are no obvious changes in appearance.

The new carapace solidified quickly.

Long Bai: "That's enough. This time, the flesh and blood inside the body has undergone subtle changes, permanently gaining the ability to withstand low temperatures and severe cold. This is an evolution at the bloodline level, and there is a high probability that it can be passed on to the ant colony."

"!!!"

The insects were shocked:

——Is this enough?

——Is this okay?

——Is this okay?

Heihuang had an idea and suggested: "Mantis, use flames to burn the ants! That way, it can evolve the ability to withstand the high temperature of the flames!"

Mo Lan's eyes lit up and she praised: "Yes! Long Bai! Can it be done?"

Long Bai: "Theoretically, it is possible. However, the ability to adapt to evolution also has an upper limit. Whether it is high temperature or low temperature, there must be a resistance limit. Once the limit is exceeded, I may be gone."

Long Bai: "I clearly feel that the ability to adapt to evolution can grow as my level of evolution increases. It will also increase with the improvement of comprehensive physical fitness, carapace, perception, strength, life and other physical qualities."

Long Bai: "Law abilities can be continuously improved through a variety of ways! The direction of improvement includes the adaptive range after evolution, the speed of ability activation, the number of consecutive activations, etc."

Long Bai: "Including the law pattern on the back, its function is to collect information, process information, and coordinate the body for adaptive evolution. The law pattern can also be improved. The effect of the improvement is to collect and process information faster. , the ability to adapt to evolution can be activated faster."

Mo Lan: "I understand!"

Mo Lan was eager to give it a try and said: "Long Bai, come on, let's try burning it with flames!"

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "You don't need to seriously burn me. Just observe and feel it at close range and collect the corresponding information."

"I'll help you!"

Mo Lan couldn't help but swung her tentacles, and crackling red high-temperature lightning struck Long Bai.

…

Ghost King Huaizi and Wang Baizi are an excellent match.

The ancestral divine power provides powerful comprehensive physical qualities to adapt to evolution.

Flight, extreme cold, high temperature, thunder and lightning, wind blade cutting, boulder bludgeoning, these can only be regarded as relatively rudimentary 'adaptive evolution'.

Mo Lan summoned all kinds of abilities to Long Bai, making a group of ants tremble in Xiang Bai and Yin Bai...

Long Bai simply shed its shell a few times and basically got used to it.

The body is strengthened from the inside out, and its resistance is greatly enhanced.

"Long Bai, I remember you said that there is a third mode of adaptive evolution? Cocoon formation? Pupa transformation? Need for life-threatening harsh external environmental stimulation? To be more specific?"

Mo Lan tilted her head and thought.

"Mantis! What do you want to do?"

Long Bai was alert.

"Don't panic. I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious."

Mo Lan asked: "If the head is cut off, can it be put back on? Will it be reborn as a pupa?"

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai: "How is that possible! If the head is cut off, it will definitely disappear immediately."

Long Bai: "However, I thought of a very necessary evolutionary project that might trigger the 'cocoon transformation'."

Mo Lan's eyes sparkled and she asked, "What?"

Long Bai: "Suffocate!"

Mo Lan: "Uh-"

Mo Lan fell into deep thought.

It really is!

Life requires breathing.

Dragon Cypress, Blue Soldier, Blue Ant and even the Throne of Ruler all have the ability of ‘Hydro Shield’. The greatest function of the hydrological shield is not defense, but deep-sea sneaking. Hydrological shields can displace fresh air from the water for breathing and sustaining life.

If suffocation stimulates evolutionary adaptation, would it be possible to stop breathing?

It is more convenient to sneak in the water, and the hydrological shield is saved, which saves raw energy.

Mo Lan urged: "Try it quickly!"

Long Bai: "Don't worry. The pupa transformation is the bottom line of the ability to adapt to evolution, and it is also the limit of the ability. It cannot be triggered easily. It is better to be careful."

"I'll rest for a few days first."

…

…

During the design and construction of the ant nest, many ventilation holes were left.

Long Bai used the power of earth and stone to block the holes in the king's nest and seal the entrance and exit.

Lie quietly on the throne, open your pores, breathe hard, and consume the special life-sustaining ingredients in the air.

Outside the cave, Mo Lan led the ants to guard, scanning and checking with his mental power from time to time.

You majestic insect king, don’t accidentally suffocate and die...

…

After half a day.

In the cave, Long Bai gradually felt that his body could not absorb the air components that kept the body running, his blood flow accelerated, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily.

After a while, it was difficult to find life-sustaining air components in the cave air.

After a while, Long Bai felt dizzy, exhausted, and the blood in his body was flowing wildly.

The ants are going to die...

Long Bai's willpower spurred him to actively activate his ability to adapt and evolve.

On the back armor, the divine pattern of law lights up, and bursts of silvery white light shine.

The powerful original energy in the body exploded, and the silver-white divine patterns began to spread, covering the whole body instantly, forming a cocoon of original energy, and the natural force quickly gathered and injected.

Long Bai was confused...

——It’s done?

Outside the cave, Mo Lan and the ants noticed the changes, were amazed, and eagerly looked forward to the results.

After half a day passed, the fluctuations in the force subsided, and the silver cocoon of original energy quickly converged and disappeared.

Under the cocoon of light is a 'chrysalis' made of a dark green oval-shaped carapace.

With a clicking sound, the ant pupa shattered, and the tentacles and six legs came out first. The anger ability exploded slightly, the ant pupa collapsed, and Long Bai jumped out.

With a roar, Mo Lan smashed the stone wall blocking the cave with a claw, and got into the cave first in a flash.

The ants followed closely behind.

"Long Bai?"

"King?"

"Did you make it?"

"Your Majesty, can you stop breathing now?"

…

"——Successful!"

Long Bai's pores opened and closed all over his body, and he briefly felt it, and explained: "There are two modes now: one is a normal environment, normal breathing, no different from before; the other is a closed breathing mode, and the body will act in another way. As the form operates, the release of physical energy will slow down, and over time, the body’s strength will weaken.”

Lone Pine concluded: "Not perfect. Half the battle."

Mo Lan: "You don't need a hydrological shield to lurk in the deep sea for a long time, can you sneak in?"

Long Bai: "That's right——"

"..."

Mo Lan suddenly fell silent.

Most animals and plants in the natural star world need to breathe.

No need to breathe.

This is already a change in the nature of life.

The spiritual powers of Zhanlan, Nanqian, and Heihuang also joined in.

Heihuang proposed enthusiastically: "Long Bai, I thought of an evolutionary project that is more suffocating than suffocating!"

Long Bai: "???"

Black and Yellow: "The Force vacuum environment!"

Long Bai: "..."

--Yes!

——Black and Yellow This proposal is worth a try!

Mo Lan and all the other princes raised their tentacles.

Long Bai also fell into deep thought: Does life in the Force have to rely on the Force environment to survive?

If you can survive without the Force...

Long Bai has the throne of control, which is not very useful, but Mo Lan and the other assistant kings are useful, and the ant colony is useful. It is of great use!

Heihuang continued to suggest: "Long Bai, you can do it step by step. You first go to the edge of the Force Land, adapt to the thin environment of the Force, and divide it into multiple operations to gradually adapt to the vacuum environment of the Force."

This guy, Black and Yellow, knows how to use his brain to think.

Long Bai shook his tentacles, "I'll recover first and then try!"

…

The transformation from cocoon to pupa was quite exhausting, and Long Bai needed to rest for two full days before returning to perfection.

Mo Lan and the Zuo Wangs stood on the peak on the east side of the cave reservoir and watched.

Long Bai placed the throne of control next to the reservoir, walked eastward along the ridge, tried to enter the edge of the land of force, and stood firm at a place where the concentration of force was about one-tenth of the average concentration of force in Xianglan Mountain.

All life activities of Force life, every breath and every breath, consume the Force. The higher the degree of evolution, the greater this consumption.

Of course, while the body is consuming, it is also independently absorbing natural force supplements.

When the force is thin and the replenishment cannot keep up with the consumption, the original energy stored in the body will be consumed. When the original energy is exhausted, it is like drowning and suffocation. The body functions cannot operate normally and life is in danger.

Long Bai's twenty frost descending abilities in a row exhausted the original energy in his body in one breath...

Soon, under the thin force environment, my whole body felt uncomfortable.

After feeling uncomfortable for a long time, when my body began to feel damaged, I retreated back to the place of origin and jumped onto the throne of control.

The Throne of Control immediately detected the lack of force in Long Bai's body, and immediately released the thick force, completely wrapping Long Bai, and pouring massive amounts of force into his body.

When the original energy in Long Bai's body returned to 70% to 80%, his ability to adapt to evolution was automatically triggered. On his back, silver-white divine patterns appeared, and silver-white light flashed violently.

The divine patterns spread and quickly filled Long Bai's body, and his original energy exploded, forming a cocoon of silver-white light.

The mental energy of Zhanlan, Black and Yellow, and Nanqian came over, and then retreated in panic.

——What situation is this?

——What do you agree to do step by step?

There was no step-by-step progression as expected, and the 'cocoon formation' was directly triggered. This process is extremely dangerous. Long Bai's body will decompose and reorganize, so he must not be disturbed.

On the mountain peak, Mo Lan and his entourage were stunned, frozen on the spot, not daring to breathe.

The situation is not good yet. Before Long Bai's original energy was fully restored, he passively triggered his 'adaptive evolution' ability, and the Dominion Throne was vigorously injecting the force into the light cocoon.

Fortunately, with the help of the Control Throne, after half a day, the original energy fluctuations subsided, and the light cocoon quickly converged, revealing the dark green ant cocoon inside.

The original power of the power system exploded slightly, and the anger ability was lightly activated. With a bang, the ant cocoon shattered, and Long Bai stood up on the throne.

"Long Bai?"

Mo Lan dodged quickly and rushed to the throne first, "What's wrong with you? We agreed to adapt to it in several batches."

Nan Qian also asked: "Ant, what are you doing? You're scaring the vines to death."

Long Bai: "...miscalculated."

Long Bai: "There is no way to gradually adapt to the vacuum environment of the Force."

Mo Lan: "Is it done?"

Long Bai happily clicked his tentacles, and when the princes came closer, he explained: "It's done! There are also two modes: one is under the normal force environment, just like before, normal activities; the second is In the Force vacuum environment, the body will switch to the 'original silent' state, which will no longer consume the Force, but it will not be able to mobilize the original energy to activate any abilities, leaving only basic physical strength..."

Long Bai paused, considered his words, and said: "The characteristics of life in the Force enter a state of silence and become like ordinary life. Ordinary life that is much stronger can move freely in the vacuum environment of the Force."

It's not difficult to understand.

Understood.

So strong!

A burst of exclamation, praise, envy, and anticipation.

For this alone, the 'adaptive evolution' ability given by Wang Baizi is definitely more powerful than the 'ancestral power' of Ghost King Huaizi!

The silver cypress raised its paw and asked: "Your Majesty, will the silver cypress stop flowering and fruiting until it moves to the southern hemisphere?"

Long Bai: "Of course. The flowering and fruiting cycle is too long. No matter how you calculate it, there will be no time to produce another fruit."

What a loss.

This loss is so great that it cannot be priced in raw stones.

The insects were distressed and howled.

It takes thirty or forty years to produce one?

How many years and months will it take for me to be able to eat~

Long Bai waved his tentacles and said, "Don't make any noise! ​​Don't make any noise! ​​Let's all think about other deadly and harsh environments. I'll try again."

The insects and trees think together.

there is none left.

I really can't think of any environment in this world that is worse and more deadly than the Force vacuum.

Long Bai couldn't figure it out, so he warned: "Everyone, please pay attention. Regarding 'adaptive evolution', you can talk about other things, but adapting to the vacuum environment of the Force, don't spread it. There is no need to inform other insects in Yunji Continent. There is no need." Tell Huaqi, Linnan, and Quandong the three sacred trees."

Long Bai: "The reason is very simple. We are trapped in a continent where the Force is silent, and what we desire most is freedom of movement. But Wang Baizi's output is too low, and we don't even have enough to eat. We also want to exchange Ghost King Sophora japonica and Phytolacca fruit... …”

"clear!"

"The king is right!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The princes agreed one after another.

Long Bai: "As for the Flame Spider Caravan... Incense Cedar and Black Sophora japonica, please be careful and don't talk nonsense. When the time comes, I will negotiate with them."

"Know!"

"Remember, Your Majesty!"

Cedar and Sophora japonica agreed.

Long Bai flicked his tentacles, "Okay. Silver cypress, green cypress, go hunting."

Long Bai: "Mo Lan, I plan to go to the sea to try. I am trying to evolve a form that is suitable for ocean survival. Do you want to come with me?"

Cymbidium:"……"

PS: One more update, Wang Baizi’s ability is revealed.
