What is the meaning of life? It is adaptation and perfection. To put it in a simple word, it's actually "evolution".

Every living species in the universe has the ability to improve itself in response to changes in the external environment. And this kind of improvement and change usually takes tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Once successful, the lifeform will surely usher in a leap forward and become more powerful.

However, if this change is too drastic, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be for the living body. Typically, there are only two. One is "mutation", while the other is death. Among them, the proportion of the latter outcome is far greater than that of the first, accounting for about 99% of the time. Only one percent of the lucky ones will become the first of those rarity.

Su Mo is now facing this one percent.

And the reason why Su Mo can become one out of a hundred, or even one out of a thousand, or even one out of thousand, is because of his good luck, which has undergone three fine-tuning changes. Otherwise, he would experience such a sudden and drastic change all at once, and there would be only one fate: a violent mutation that caused the gene to collapse, and then he died.

From this point of view, Su Mo is indeed a well-deserved protagonist. The protagonist's aura is really shining on him.

But as Su Mo himself, this kind of change is something he absolutely does not want to accept. The mutated life form is not powerful, but if he completely changes his own genes and becomes another unknown life form, the price is too great for him.

He hasn't been a man enough, he still has relatives, friends, and brothers, and he has too many worries and reluctance. So, he had to refuse!

He rolled, gasping like an ox, enduring the torture of a thousand knives, moving outward little by little.

Fortunately, this time his consciousness was always clear, and after the initial pain, he was able to control a part of his body.

Like a chrysalis, every difficult outward movement always consumes a great deal of physical strength and spirit, but the distance traveled is extremely short.

But he didn't have the energy to care about this at the moment, he just wanted to get out of this passive evolution. A line of water gradually spread out on the ground, caused by the sweat on his body as he squirmed and moved out countless times......

Completely forgetting time, the space here also seems to have no concept of time. The sky is always the same leaden gray, neither bright nor dark, eternal and unchanging.

It wasn't until he felt that all parts of his body had completely regained control, and that murmur gradually fell on deaf ears, that Su Mo stopped this masochistic crawling.

Looking around blankly, he was slightly stunned at first, and then let out a long breath. It turned out that this climb actually climbed straight back to the starting place, and you can imagine how long this climb lasted.

It's safe, it's safe. He muttered to himself, his mind finally relaxed. As soon as his mind relaxed slightly, he was annihilated by the extreme tiredness that hit him, and he fell asleep in an instant.

When I opened my eyes again, I felt an indescribable sense of comfort from the inside out. As soon as he moved his hands and feet, a soft sound sounded in his body like popping beans. If there is someone who is proficient in martial arts, he will definitely be surprised. This kind of light roar is clearly a manifestation of the inner family's cultivation to the extreme: the thunder sound of the tiger and leopard.

This is probably the case in the world, where there is a reward. Su Mo firmly rejected the process of mutation and evolution, and if he broke away all at once, it would be nothing more than a halt to the process.

However, he didn't have the physical strength to get rid of it at that time, and he could only achieve it by crawling like a masochistic way.

It's like forging steel. It is just calcined out of the high-temperature furnace, and then beaten by a sledgehammer little by little, almost without mistakes, in this way, all the impurities inside are separated.

According to Sumer's situation at that time, Sumo was the smelted iron, and that powerful change was the hammer and anvil. In the process of crawling all the way, that powerful power of change was transformed into forging power by him in this way. Not only did it make his external muscles tougher, but it also made his inner bones, meridians, internal organs, and even the flesh and bone marrow in the fascia seem to have been refined. This kind of encounter is completely unexpected, it is simply rare, and even more rare than the genetic evolution in front of it.

It's just that Su Mo didn't know these things at this time, he just felt that he was very good, surprisingly good. Not to mention the pervasiveness of the whole body, whether it is speed, defense or even strength, it has been improved again.

Speed and defense are enough, but the increase in strength makes him happy. Before, he was still lamenting this. Who knows, just after masochizing himself, he immediately made up for this shortcoming.

Turning his head to look back at the circuit, he even felt the urge to go back and do it all over again. Maybe if you do it again, it will be a big step higher?

It's just that this thought is just a thought after all, let alone do it again, it's hard to say whether he will be in danger of becoming another creature when he wakes up again, so just thinking of the torture that is like being stuffed into a stone mill and crushed into powder little by little is enough to make him shudder and immediately throw this thought out of the clouds.

This trip was not in vain, not only did he get enough water, but he also strengthened himself to a super strong level. Although he still couldn't find a way out, with his current physical strength, he already had the confidence to continue exploring the previous side.

It feels more primitive and expansive, and the environment is relatively safer. Of course, this is because after his ability is improved at this moment, it is also relative to the weirdness of the Broken Land.

Not only that, but the aura he sensed before, if this side of the Shattered Land was considered an adult body, then the Endless Forest side was equivalent to a juvenile body. He can't deal with an adult body, but a young body can still handle it.

As for the Shattered Lands or the Everfree Forest, these two names were the names he had chosen for each direction. According to the characteristics of the terrain on both sides, it sounds full of fantasy, but it is the result of his bad taste.

Now that I've made up my mind, I feel hungry. Now that there is water, the mushrooms and mushrooms that have been picked can be put into the pot.

At that moment, he dug the soil for the stove, took the stones into a pot, and carefully poured water from the water bladder, and then took out the pile of mushrooms and threw them into the pot. So, next.......

Then, the original excitement was suddenly completely gone. Why? How can you cook mushrooms without fire? I used to think that the water in the desert is precious and difficult to get, but for the past month, I have relied on all kinds of fruit pulp to make a living, and I have never eaten half of it, so I have completely forgotten about this stubble.

If you are depressed, is it possible that you still have to drill wood to make fire? And even if you can drill wood to make fire, you can think about the wood, and you will be even more depressed to death. Is Mu Nyima here still called wood? His meow is harder than stone, let alone drilling, he can't break it, what's the whole thing?

Sitting cross-legged in front of the stone pot, looking at the various mushrooms floating in a pot of clear water, Su Mo was so worried. dragging his cheeks and thinking hard, it was even more difficult than Wu Zixu passing through Tongguan in the past.

Although Wu Zixu is sad about passing Tongguan, there is no shortage of good food and drink. But then he was so sad that his head turned white, but he Su Mo couldn't even fill his stomach now, wouldn't the hair on his whole body turn white?

At the thought of turning into a white-haired monster, Su Mo couldn't help but shudder, and quickly shook his head. I'll go, that scene isn't too pretty.

It's just that the head shook twice, and suddenly a spiritual light flashed, and Huo Ran raised his head.

Just because the wood here is hard to get doesn't mean it's hard to get anywhere else. There's no fire here, but maybe there's another place.......?

His mind swirled, but his gaze turned to the Broken Lands again.

In that shattered land, there are countless small spaces of all kinds. Among them, there is a space similar to an active volcano. And the trees are lush, and they don't know how many. The only problem is that it is too dangerous there, and a bad one is the end of complete annihilation, which makes Su Mo's liver tremble when he thinks about it.

Should I take the risk for the sake of my stutter? Is it worth it? He was a little hesitant. But it was only a moment before he made up his mind.

In this hellish place, I don't know when I'll be able to get out. If there is no fire, it can be made up for a short time, but what about a long time? Not to mention the needs of food, it is also necessary to have safety, and follow-up exploration. Therefore, tinder is a necessity that cannot be avoided at all!

Also, water should be stored as much as possible. Otherwise, just like the small world before, when one day all that world is annihilated, once the exploration here is fruitless, won't you still die of thirst?

It seems that there is a lot of work that needs to be done. At the very least, you have to be as prepared as you can before you find a way out!

The Broken Land, I still have to go again! But this time, I don't have to go so deep, as long as I dodge that kind of annihilation, there is actually not much danger.

As soon as I thought of it, I dug a large stone pit, poured all the water into it, and vacated a few props with water. Only then did he repack his equipment, his eyes flashed with determination, and he once again embarked on the road to the Shattered Lands.

Ahead, a fantastical spectacle reappears. With the experience of the last time, this time it went a lot better. Not only did he not stray into it again, but even through the strengthened divine sense, Su Mo faintly groped for some kind of mysterious law.

The collision of these small worlds is not entirely disordered!

With this discovery, although he could not fully grasp the wonderful law, he could ensure his safety to the greatest extent.

Soon, he found the space he needed. Not only did he get a large bundle of firewood, he got a torch, but he was lucky enough to catch a meteorite chip that looked like a large axe.

Now, I have more confidence to survive in this strange place. After carrying the collected firewood and the water bladder filled with water again, and then holding the torch in his left hand and the stone axe in his right hand, he turned and returned.

It's just that at the moment when he was about to take a step, he suddenly inadvertently passed an image of space out of the corner of his eye. This glance made him suddenly shocked, Huo turned around, and his eyes widened in an instant.
