Chapter 1325: Survival of the Fittest

Lin Mu was furious after the failure this time.

At such an important moment for him, it was the best time for growth, but these grasses destroyed his growth path.

He originally didn't want to deal with these grasses. He ignored them and let the roots extend deeper and farther.

Unexpectedly, these grasses would not let him live.

"Survival of the fittest. I won't provoke you. Since you are my enemy, don't blame me for being rude!"

Lin Mu immediately restrained his anger and began to focus all his attention on growth.

This time, most of the nutrients absorbed by his leaves were transported to the roots, especially the fourth root, which transported the most nutrients!

The fourth root became thicker at a very fast speed.

Lin Mu has learned to be smart and is no longer in a hurry to let the fourth root spread out.

The first, second, and third roots are the thickest. Lin Mu decided not to spread them around, but to go deeper underground!

The deeper these three main roots are, the more stable his foundation will be in the future!

When his body grows tall, it will not be easily blown down by wind and rain!

Another reason is that he cannot spread out to absorb nutrients now, so he can only go deep down to ensure sufficient nutrients and water supply.

His leaves can absorb sunlight, but they also need more water.

Otherwise, the leaves will wither soon.

The fourth root quickly became thicker and almost caught up with the first one.

To be on the safe side, Lin Mu did not immediately control the fourth root to take revenge, but continued to supply nutrients to the fifth root.

When the fourth and fifth roots became very thick, Lin Mu controlled these two roots to attack a green grass.

Facing Lin Mu's well-prepared attack, the green grass had no power to fight back.

Its roots were strangled by Lin Mu's two powerful roots!

Unlike Lin Mu, Lin Mu's roots were only cut off at the end, and not all of them.

As for the green grass, it was mainly one main root, and the other roots were too thin and not worth mentioning. After this most important root was cut off by Lin Mu, the green grass quickly became dying.

Under the sunlight at noon, it soon lost its breath of life.

After killing this green grass, Lin Mu became more determined.

Survival of the fittest, if you want to survive and become stronger, you must compete with other species!

He can't be merciful anymore!

The green grass around him not only prevented his roots from spreading, but also absorbed the water and nutrients around him. These green grasses must not be left!

Next, Lin Mu followed the same method and removed the green grass around him one by one.

In the evening, Lin Mu killed all the green grass within a foot radius around him.

During this day, Lin Mu's body growth slowed down, only growing to a little more than seven inches, but he did grow another leaf, and now he has four leaves.

He also has ten roots!

This is visible progress.

From a seed with young sprouts, he has now become a small sapling that can kill the surrounding grass.

Lin Mu feels that his progress is very significant!

But this is far from enough!

After this fight, he realized some attack tricks.

His roots can be controlled.

However, after all, he is deeply embedded in the soil. He found that the farther the roots are from his body, the more difficult it is to control.

The farther his roots spread in the future, it will not be as easy as it is now to deal with other grasses.

However, if his roots become thicker, it will naturally be effortless!

As night fell, everything was quiet, and Lin Mu fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Lin Mu woke up early and tried to grow.

Without the restraint of the grass, he grew much faster that day, and he grew to one foot tall!

He looked like a tree.

Before, he was no different from the grass.

From now on, he was a real tree!

After growing to one foot tall, Lin Mu soon ushered in his own explosive period.

In the next few days, he grew at a crazy speed.

One and a half feet, two feet, two and a half feet, three feet!

Three feet tall is almost as tall as a person's waist!

In less than ten days, he was half a person tall!

This growth rate is really far beyond other trees!

When the height reached three feet, Lin Mu's vision became wider, and he observed some of the situations around him.

There were no big competitors within a radius of seven feet around him.

The only thing that could pose a threat to him was a green vine growing five feet away from him!

This green vine was one year older than him. It had grown out last year and was now about three feet tall, not inferior to him.

Moreover, the branches and leaves of this green vine were far more luxuriant than his. The leaves were extremely green and looked full of vitality, like a large mass.

This green vine was exactly Lin Mu's next opponent.

On the ground, although the green vine was a large mass and very fluffy, the main trunk of Lin Mu's body grew straight up. Now they were not interfering with each other and there was still a certain distance between him and the green vine.

If his body grew to five feet thick, it would take who knows how long.

So on the ground, he actually had no competition with the green vine.

But underground, his roots had already spread out about three feet.

Originally, he could continue to spread, but he had to stop moving forward.

Because he encountered the roots of the green vine.

The roots of the green vine are denser than the fluffy mass on the ground!

As soon as Lin Mu's roots touched the roots of the green vine, they were beaten back.

Lin Mu had to stop moving forward.

The three roots in this direction could not move forward, so he had to transfer nutrients to the other roots and spread as much as possible from other directions to absorb more nutrients.

And this green vine, Lin Mu didn't want to hide from him like this.

However, if he and this green vine were to fight head-on now, he really couldn't beat it.

After all, he only had three roots in this direction.

Later, after Lin Mu grew new roots, he controlled the new roots to grow in this direction.

Two days later, there were six roots in this direction!

However, the three new roots were still relatively thin and had not yet reached the point where they could fight.

In a pure root competition, Lin Mu was not sure he could defeat the green vine.

However, he soon thought of another way!
