65.2 per cent for option one, 13.1 per cent for option two and 21.7 per cent for option three.

[Option 1]

【Swallow the Pasture】

……

Grassland.

Zheng Zhuo set his eyes on the ground.

Withered grass and low vegetation are scattered across the land. The spacing between plants is too thin to hide the gray and lifeless soil beneath their long leaves.

But compared with the place where Zheng Zhuo started, this place can be regarded as "green grass".

"These grasses are enough for me to evolve. After leveling up, hunting will also be easier. ”

First of all, we will get what we can get solidly.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhuo, who was floating in the air, slowly fell to the withered grass below.

His misty body lightly touched the leaves of the vegetation. The leaves are wrapped around his body, then decompose and disappear.

And then there's their stems and roots.

Zheng Zhuo did not continue to fly. He crawled on the ground, slowly moving forward. His speed on the ground was still the same as when he was [Ghost Fire], but this time, his area was much larger.

His body was closer to the surface, and from a distance, it looked like a pool of flowing orange-red shadows.

However, this shadow is not a good stubble. Wherever he flows, the grass and trees will be ignited and disappear with a slight "grunt".

[Points:218]

[Points:219]

【……】

The number of points increases steadily. Zheng Zhuo also slowly came to a position with more lush vegetation.

In the herd of antelopes, the more vigilant individuals raised their heads. In the grass, there was the sound of snakes "rustling" and swimming.

They sensed Zheng Zhuo approaching. But not smart enough to deal with it all.

Blades of grass, straw stalks. Low rhizomes.

Zheng Zhuo swallowed more plants. At the same time, his heat began to ignite the vegetation around him that was not fully contained in his body.

The first thing that came out of the meadow was a light white smoke. Soon, however, it turned into black smoke.

And then there's the fire.

The fire is spreading. On the plain, a cold wind blew, and in the blink of an eye, a continuous line of fire blew from the point of fire.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The antelopes began to scream. They fled in all directions, bouncing and jumping away from the rootless fire that was spreading in all directions.

The fire was bigger than Zheng Zhuo had imagined. Presumably because his temperature is raised by two gears, the temperature will also be higher when his body ignites other items. The grass burned and spread at a rapid speed, and Zheng Zhuo chewed on the burning blades of grass all the way, and all he could hear was the panicked cries of the animals, the sound of running, and the crackling of the flames.

The sound of snakes swimming has long been inaudible. Many marmots and hares sprang out of Zheng Zhuo's unexpected places and galloped across the land. In the distance, vultures flew up in large patches, and wild dogs barked incessantly.

The fire is raging. Soon, they climbed higher ground and ascended along the mountain range with a faster movement speed than Zheng Zhuo's.

And Zheng Zhuo also gained 250 points at this time.

He opens the interface. [Optional Evolution] is indeed there.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Shadow Fire (Orange)]

[Ability: Identification, Evolution]

[Evolved: Ignited]

[Points: 250]

[Optional Evolution: Temperature Increase/Size Increase/Speed Increase]

……

If the source of energy ingested is very simple, there will be a very simple evolutionary path.

Zheng Zhuo now confirms this.

And then......

Looking at the purgatory-like scene in front of him, Zheng Zhuo thought of something.

"If you don't evolve first, keep the points and eat vigorously...... What will happen? ”

He wanted to try it.

The hot air brought by the fire blows from the flat ground. Zheng Zhuo relaxed his body, focused his consciousness on his back, and slowly floated up.

As he ascended a little bit, the scenery he could see became more and more open. There was fire everywhere. Everywhere there was grass and trees that were set on fire, and everywhere there were people fleeing in a hurry......

…… Food.

"No, no, it's points. Points. ”

He struggled to retain a little bit of rationality as a human being.

Zheng Zhuo glides on the hot air. Along the way, he saw many old, weak, sick and crippled beasts that could not run collapsed in the heat and smoke brought by the wildfires.

Whenever this happens, Zheng Zhuo will silently begin to descend.

Soon after, a thin shadow would fall over the fallen beasts.

Grunt.

The sound of burning and devouring is perfectly masked by the sound of a wildfire.

……

Zheng Zhuo flew into the air again. He glided and saw that the fire had spread far to the top of the mountain. And there seems to be the limit. The fire did not continue to rise.

There don't seem to be many trees at the top of the mountain. Having lost the combustibles, the flames stopped on the south side of the mountain.

"Ah, antelope."

Zheng Zhuo saw the prey again and fell again.

Every time he drops, Zheng Zhuo will gain a lot of points. His thin body was almost the same color as the sky red by the flames, and it was impossible to recognize him from the smoke and dust without looking closely. Many animals do not understand what it is that took their lives until they die.

But. Even if they could understand, they would have nowhere to run.

From beginning to end, Zheng Zhuo was cautious: he only ate animals that were almost completely incapacitated. This allowed him to miss out on a lot of half-run prey, but at the same time, saved a lot of time for take-off and descent.

Judging from the final conclusion, Zheng Zhuo's choice is very wise.

His measures were quite effective. He hasn't missed a single shot since the fire. Zheng Zhuo flew up and down in the wildfire, swallowing antelopes, snakes, wild dogs, prairie hares, marmots, tree trunks that looked like large creatures, weeds that looked like large creatures, creatures that were burned to the point that they couldn't tell what kind of creatures they were, and creatures that had died and rotted so long ago before the fire that they couldn't tell what kind of species they were.

[Points: 550].

The time to go from 250 to 550 was even shorter than the time it took him to go from 0 to 250.

In Zheng Zhuo's original plan, if things go well, he also planned to eat more. But now, the fire, which seemed to never stop, has become less and less.

"The grass is almost finished."

"Edible creatures...... Especially for large creatures, that's pretty much it...... The others ran away. ”

Zheng Zhuo flew into the air for the last time, and after looking around at the scene below, he judged it like this.

"Forget it. Luckily, I was able to save up to 550. ”

He opens the interface.

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Shadow Fire (Orange)]

[Ability: Identification, Evolution]

[Evolved: Ignited]

[Points:550]

[Optional Evolution: Temperature Increase/Size Increase/Speed Increase]

[Optional Evolution: Dexterity/Long Horn/Curling/Venom]

……

Two evolutionary directions popped up.

Zheng Zhuo tried. You can only choose one from top to bottom.

"It turns out that when you save up points, you just choose them together with the next time. I thought there would be something special. ”

He was slightly disappointed.

However, it's much better than the worst answer where there is no second evolutionary channel, and the points are cleared after the first one.

……

[Question 1]

[Choose the first evolutionary direction.] Which one to choose? 】

[Option 1]

【Temperature increase】

[Option 2]

【Size Increase】

[Option 3]

【Speed up】

……

[Question 2]

Choose the second evolutionary direction. Which one to choose? 】

[Option 1]

【Dexterity】

Specifically: Movement speed is constant. But react faster and more flexibly during takeoff, landing, and steering.

[Option 2]

【Long Horn】

Instructions: It can clump itself together and create a V-shaped horn in the shape of a flame on the front of its body. Can ram enemies with long horns.

[Option 3]

【Toxin】
