Chapter 137 Pine Tree Evolution!
Huahuahua~!
After the evolved pine tree expressed its submission, the fisherman glanced at Cangnian, and when he saw him nod, he began to evenly sprinkle the evolution factor around the evolved pine tree.
The evolved pine tree had been quite friendly before, and now it expressed its submission, so Cangnian had no reason to disagree.
After all, it was not like the previous wild boar, who had a grudge against his family.
Moreover, relatively speaking, the improvement of the IQ of evolved plants seemed to be much slower than that of evolved animals.
Many animals have IQs comparable to those of human children, and most of them can approach the IQ of ordinary humans after evolution.
As for evolved plants, it is difficult to determine whether they originally had IQs, but even after evolution, most of them only acted on instinct.
For example, when the fire burned the mountain before, the large evolved plants would squeeze out sap to try to put out the fire and protect themselves, while the small evolved plants would "run away".
The ashes left by the hyphae in the back attracted many small evolved plants to take root.
But even though Cang Nian and his men were entrenched beside the mycelium ashes, cleaning up those small evolved plants from time to time, there were still many small evolved plants that ran to take root as if they had no brains.
After repeated attempts, some of them retreated to take root in other ashes out of fear.
Evolved pine trees, which can understand words and think, are actually outliers among evolved plants.
When the fisherman sprinkled the evolution factor on the ground, white and tender roots emerged from the ground again and "ate" the evolution factor bit by bit.
Soon, all the evolution factors in the snakeskin bag of the fisherman were poured in, but the evolved pine tree showed no signs of qualitative change.
At this time, without Cang Nian's reminder, the little sable opened a small light gate and sprinkled the evolution factor on the ground.
Crunch...
At this time, the land around the trunk of the evolved pine tree began to bulge, cracking and extending lines!
Then, the trunk of the evolved pine tree became visibly thicker!
Its branches and twigs were getting longer and longer, making the area it blocked the sunlight wider.
Seeing this, Cang Nian and his family retreated quickly.
Although they knew that the evolved pine tree would not fall down after evolving, such an amazing change still made everyone feel instinctively worried.
After retreating a few hundred meters, Cang Nian could see the whole picture of the evolving pine tree.
Under the bright moonlight, its top spire was visibly rising, and more buds were stretching out little by little.
And those buds, just after they grew out, gradually stretched out and stretched into a branch, with more twigs extending from it, and dense needles emerged, looking lush and green.
This growth time is much longer than the evolution of animals like Cang Nian and his family. It took an unknown amount of time before it finally stopped.
Because it is an evolved plant that directly absorbs nutrients from the soil, it does not need to prepare food in advance like Cang Nian and his family.
The food of the pine tree is next to the roots, or it is in the food itself.
Cang Nian couldn't tell how tall it was now with his naked eyes, but compared to before, the height should have increased by half.
And the size has increased by more than 1.5 times.
Now, the largest part of its canopy area is estimated to be more than 30 meters in diameter, straight and slender, evenly symmetrical, just like a pagoda!
At this moment, Cang Nian suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, which had a clear attraction to him.
Looking at Tiger Dad and the others, they also looked like they had found something delicious.
"Master Tiger! It seems to have a smell, which is indescribable.
It smells very comfortable, just smelling it makes me drool!
What is this thing?"
At this time, the fisherman with the worst sense of smell also reacted and said in confusion.
Squeak~!
On the side, the little sable pointed at the evolutionary pine tree and jumped up and down, looking very excited.
"Could it be... that pine cone is ripe?"
At this time, Cang Nian speculated suspiciously.
As early as when they first arrived at this new habitat, the little sable discovered the abnormality of the evolved pine tree and said that the pine cone would definitely be very beneficial if eaten, but it was far from mature.
Now, the evolved pine tree has undergone earth-shaking changes from before and has reached the second level. Will it promote the maturity of the pine cone?
Thinking of this, Cang Nian quickly came to the evolved pine tree and climbed up.
Although the evolved pine tree has changed greatly, there is no need to look for it. Just following the direction of the fragrant smell, Cang Nian found the huge pine cone.
When I first came to this habitat, this pine cone was about the same size as myself, and it should be about ten kilograms.
After the spiritual energy revival tide, Cang Nian did not forget it. At the beginning, this thing grew to about twenty or thirty kilograms.
The last time I observed it, it had grown to about fifty kilograms.
Now, with the evolution of the pine tree, its height is more than one meter, and its diameter is more than half a meter. The weight is definitely more than one hundred kilograms!
Feeling the extremely attractive taste, Cang Nian couldn't help but stretch out his claws, wanting to dig out the pine nuts inside to taste.
Before, only small animals like the sable that had pine nuts in their diet could feel its extraordinaryness.
Now, it has such an amazing attraction to all creatures!
Obviously, eating it must have considerable benefits!
Ouch...
But at this moment, the branches around the pine cone came over and protected the pine cone in the middle.
"Hmm? After it evolved, did its IQ improve and it developed a protective mentality towards its offspring?
No, the small pine trees grown from its pine cones are its offspring.
For it, pine cones should be considered fertilized eggs?
It produces hundreds or thousands of pine cones, not to mention tens of thousands. Will it protect the pine cones in so many pine cones like this?
Didn't it use pine cones to shoot boars before? Or does this big pine cone have special meaning to it?"
Seeing this, Cang Nian frowned.
When he tried to test the evolved pine tree before, he tried to threaten it with pine cones, but the evolved pine tree did not respond at that time.
So, when he subdued the evolved pine tree, he did not think of adding this condition.
But now, the evolved pine tree has evolved to the second stage. If it doesn't want to give it, does it have to fight?
Hiss~!
Squeak~!
Ah~!
At this time, other animals also followed and came to the front of the pine cone, with eagerness in their eyes.
Woof~!
Cang Nian looked down and saw that the tiger father, tiger mother, tiger brother, little sable, and black king snake had all arrived. The fisherman must have given himself a discipline and climbed up.
Only Pipi put his front paws on the tree trunk, stuck out his tongue and stomped his feet.
Pipi was not much older than Cang Nian in terms of the number of days he was born.
But it had never learned to climb a tree before, so even though its physical fitness was absolutely strong, it could not climb up no matter what.
