As a tree, unable to move, Ye Feng has a limited target that he can devour.

The first thing he chose was an earthworm in the dirt.

With a dense network of roots, he couldn't have found any earthworms in the dirt, and he quickly settled on.

It is worth mentioning that today's earthworms have also produced a certain degree of mutation, and the size of these earthworms is already comparable to chopsticks.

This was a bit scary, but Ye Feng didn't care at all, the taproot moved over and quickly wrapped around it.

The mutant earthworm still wanted to struggle, but the lateral roots were already following closely, and in a few seconds, the earthworm was completely subdued.

Ye Feng's heart moved, and he activated the devouring ability.

Then he could feel that the roots of the tree were constantly pumping out bits of aura and bioenergy from the earthworm's body.

In just a dozen seconds, the earthworm dried up and lost its vitality.

"Increases aura and bio energy by 1." Ye Feng glanced at the system panel and was immediately overjoyed.

If he absorbs it on his own, it will take at least 1 hour.

But now, I can get it in 1 minute.

After tasting the sweetness, it is natural to make persistent efforts.

In the next ten minutes, Ye Feng found a total of 5 earthworms and devoured them all, increasing 5 points of aura and biological energy.

"Is that gone? There are so few creatures underground. Ye Feng swept the ground again with the roots of the tree, and after confirming that nothing was missed, he sighed lightly.

His gaze could only be shifted to the ground.

Compared to the underground, there are many more creatures that can be devoured on the ground.

Ants, centipedes, and crickets passing by are all his targets.

Now his taproot is 21.4 meters, and the length of the lateral root is about 80% of the taproot, which is 17.1 meters.

In this case, any insect within 17 meters of his tree can be hunted with relative ease.

Above 17 meters, you can only rely on taproot to hunt, and the difficulty increases dramatically.

However, he was in a dense forest in the middle of the valley, and there were many creatures within 17 meters.

Then it's time to hunt!

With him as the center, centipedes, crickets, and ants are all disappearing rapidly.

These three creatures, the finger-sized mutant centipede, can also provide 1 point of aura and biopower, but unfortunately there are too few of them.

As for crickets, they can only provide 0.7 points of aura, and the mutated crickets are extremely flexible, and they can jump out of one or two meters with a slight jump, which is quite difficult to catch.

Therefore, compared to these two creatures, mutant ants are Ye Feng's favorite targets.

Although the mutant ant the size of the finger cover can only provide him with 0.1 aura points and biological energy, the number of ants is large.

Every now and then, an ant passes by his territory in the process of foraging, so overall, the ant provides the most aura.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Feng glanced at the system panel, the aura value had increased to 20 points, and the biological energy had reached 25 points.

With such an increase in aura value, Ye Feng was still very satisfied, at least much faster than the automatic increase in aura value.

Clearly, he had made the right decision.

"It's time to add more."

The longer the roots, the easier it is for him to use his devouring powers.

Three minutes later.

Ye Feng completed the 3rd point increase, counting the previous 7 points, he has already completed 10 points.

At this time, in the system panel, the value of the evolution point column finally changed from 0 to 1.

"Huh! It turns out that evolution points are obtained in this way, and you can get 1 evolution point by adding points 10 times. ”

"If you get enough 10 evolution points, you can complete an evolution, and it's not that difficult." Ye Feng was a little surprised.

Rather than making the roots longer, evolution is of course more important.

Only by continuous evolution can he become stronger and stronger, maybe to a certain extent, he can get rid of the shackles of today.

Next, Ye Feng added points while hunting.

The length of his roots is steadily increasing at a rate of 20 centimeters per minute.

It wasn't until 25 minutes later that Ye Feng completed 25 extra points.

That's right, 25 times.

Because in these 25 minutes, as he hunted, he gained 8 more aura points and bioenergy.

At this time, Ye Feng opened the system panel and took a look.

Host: Leaf Maple (World Tree)

Tree height: 10 meters

Trunk width: 0.5 m

Root length: 27 m

Realm: Early Stage of the First Order

Evolution point: 3/10

Special Ability: Devour

Aura: 0/100 point

Bioenergy: 8/100 points

In just over an hour, the length of his roots had increased by 7 meters, and his evolution points had accumulated to 3.

"Excellent! If it goes well, I'll be able to complete my first evolution tonight. Ye Feng was a little pleased, and he worked harder and harder.

However, when the time came to 8 o'clock, after Ye Feng counted the harvest in the second hour, he found that he was wrong.

In this hour, he only gained a total of 16 aura points and bioenergy.

"There are fewer insects around." Ye Feng frowned slightly.

This is pretty bad news, and as time goes on, as he devours it, there will definitely become fewer and fewer insects around.

Just when Ye Feng was a little distressed, suddenly a mutated big frog entered his field of vision.

His vision was not much different from when he was alive, and if he moved the angle of his vision to the top of the tree, he could see even further.

At this time, he looked at the mutant frog, which was jumping in his direction.

Following the frog's route, although it does not come straight towards his tree, it will also cross the range of his "territory".

Ye Feng was a little excited, this mutant frog was the size of a normal person's foot.

Devour it, and it can top at least two or three hundred mutant ants.

Of course, it is not easy to catch it, because this mutant frog has a distance of 5 meters in a light jump, and although his taproot is already 27 meters long, it only has two or three chances to shoot at most.

He has to be ready, and he has already "dispatched troops" underground.

The taproot and 100 lateral roots, under the ground that the mutant frog could not see, quietly completed a trap

Finally, the mutated frog entered his territory.

Ye Feng was not in a hurry to make a move, and quietly waited for the other party's in-depth development.

When the mutant frog got close to the 5-meter range, it was about to pass by.

A tree root rose from the ground and wound straight towards the mutant frog.

The roots of the maple tree are hidden 1 cm underground.

Launching a surprise attack at such a short distance, the mutant frog didn't have time to react, and its hind legs were entangled.

However, the mutant frog reacted extremely quickly, and the moment it was entangled, its thick hind legs kicked the ground hard, and it flew directly over.

The subsequent roots of the tree failed to take control.

Moreover, the root of the tree that was wrapped around the other party was directly torn off.

Ye Feng also felt pain for the first time, as if the knuckles were misaligned.

At this moment, he was really shocked and angry, and at the same time, he intuitively felt the threat brought to him by these mutant creatures.

"I was injured by a frog, I'm still too weak, and I need to speed up my strength."

Ye Feng warned himself, but the movement of the tree roots was not slow at all.

Although one of the roots of the tree was torn off, it also played a considerable role, and the distance of the mutant frog's jump was greatly shortened, only three meters out.

And the other party was in the air, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground on his side.

At this time, Ye Feng no longer needed to hide, the three tree roots near the opponent's landing point had already rushed out of the dirt and waved in the air.

Before the mutant frog could hit the ground, three roots wrapped around it.

But the mutant frog has great strength, and even in this situation, it keeps struggling and finding the opportunity to jump up again.

In the desperate situation of the mutant frog, two more roots were torn off, but one of them hung on it, so that the mutant frog only crossed one meter and fell down.

The rest of the roots, which had already moved, especially the thick taproot, had already arrived, and they were wound together, and finally subdued it.

Immediately after that, it is to activate the devouring ability and begin to absorb.

This mutant frog provides him with a full 25 aura points and bio energy.

In this battle, although he had three tree roots torn off, these roots all had the ability to repair themselves, and the torn parts were not very long, and they could grow in an hour at most.

Just for this price, you earned 25 energy points, which must have been earned by blood.

"That's great, if only I could have a few more mutant frogs, maybe I can evolve directly." Ye Feng was in an excellent mood.

At this time, he even thought of the mutated boar that overturned their bus before.

Such a big mutant boar, if he can devour it, maybe it can evolve a dozen times.
