My Evolution Starting from a Giant Tree - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Humans?

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

During this half a month, Lin Meng had seen planes flying overhead more than once.

In other words, it could be preliminarily determined that this was a modern world combined with the willows. Lin Meng felt that this world should not be too unfamiliar.

It might be the world of his previous life.

However, considering that he had grown more than 20 meters in this half a month, and the surrounding trees were more or less several meters tall, Lin Meng still had to remain skeptical of this ‘previous world’ theory.

In his previous life, the trees did not have such an abnormal growth rate.

Moreover, these were other trees. They did not intentionally absorb the unknown energy as Lin Meng did.

If they intentionally absorbed the unknown energy in the air, their growth rate would probably be even higher. It might not even be an exaggeration to say that they could cover the world.

Not only that, but Lin Meng also noticed that some animals seemed to have some small changes.

However, the speed at which the animals absorbed the unknown energy seemed to be slower than the trees. The changes were also not as obvious as these trees.

They just ran faster and had a sharper sense of smell.

Just like now, for several days, no animals dared to come to his territory.

His evolution points were now empty.

He had spent all the evolution points he had obtained to strengthen the branches.

Now, he only had three evolution points left.

Of course, Lin Meng was not a complete butcher.

He still had his own selfish motives.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

A sharp and continuous cry suddenly sounded from somewhere on Lin Meng’s body.

He looked up and saw that a nest had appeared at a triangle formed by the treetops.

A bird’s nest.

It was very simple and crude.

In the bird’s nest, there were eight baby birds that were about the size of a fist. They were screaming crazily and their mouths were wide open as if their mother-in-law was asking for a betrothal gift.

“Are these little guys hungry?”

Lin Meng was suspicious and he muttered to himself.

However, looking at the nest of baby birds, Lin Meng could not hide the joy in his heart.

This was because it was a peregrine falcon.

A medium-sized bird of prey, an adult peregrine falcon can reach 41-50 cm in length and its wingspan can reach 95-115 cm. When hunting prey, peregrine falcons will quickly fly high in the sky, and then dive down at a speed of 270-360 km/h!

300 km/h dive speed, what kind of concept is that.

One had to know that the fastest speed of a cheetah was only 120 kilometers per hour.

The peregrine falcon, on the other hand, was three times as fast as a cheetah.

Such speed! If it was hunting, just the pressure it brought was enough to suffocate people.

And the nest of fledglings in front of them was a peregrine falcon that was as fast as leaving the bowstring.

Its lower body was white and there were fine black spots on its upper chest. Its lower chest was covered with black spots from bottom to bottom.

Although they were just chicks, their white jade claws were honed and sharp, and their bean-sized eyes were bright.

As for why these chicks built their nest here, it was up to him to take the blame.

It was because not long ago, he felt that the trees around him were too tall and covered the sky. He used the branches to break the trees around him.

Then, the nest of baby birds fell from a big tree.

Initially, Lin Meng wanted to use it to replenish evolution points but, when he recognized that this was the children of a medium-sized peregrine falcon, he had a plan in mind.

If he could train them, this nest of peregrine falcons would probably be very useful.

Moreover, the animals and plants nowadays were mutating…

If…

If, this family of peregrine falcons had sharper beaks and tougher bodies…

In the future, would these peregrine falcons shoot their enemies at the speed of bullets in just a breath?

Tsk tsk.

He felt excited just thinking about this scene.

If he was lucky, these little guys might become his right-hand men.

Thus, Lin Meng naturally took on the role of a nanny.

Moreover, he did not need food.

By occasionally farming evolution points, he could quickly obtain some animal carcasses.

Because of this, these little fellows did not lack food.

With a smile, looking at the peregrine falcon with its mouth open, Lin Meng suddenly pulled a branch to the ground. Then, it rolled and rolled up half of the rabbit’s body.

He had killed it yesterday. He had buried it in the soil as nutrients for himself, and some of it was used as food for these little fellows.

The branches exerted force and divided the rabbit meat into several small pieces. Then, they carefully put them into the little fellows’ mouths one by one.

“This way of eating is too ugly.”

Looking at the peregrine falcon eating happily, Lin Meng complained. Then, he urged the branches to caress the little fellows again.

Perhaps they had become familiar with each other, but these little fellows had already selectively ignored his teasing. Some of them even narrowed their eyes as if they were enjoying themselves.

Lin Meng smiled. He did not mind and continued to caress their newly born feathers.

At this moment, what Lin Meng did not notice was that not far from the canyon…

Ta ta ta!

Following the sound of footsteps, two figures had already headed deep into the forest.

These were two peasant girls.

They were dressed in coarse linen clothes and had delicate and pretty faces.

If they could dress up, they would probably attract the attention of many people.

After all, these two were genuine twins.

“Sis, what do you think is going on? The village doesn’t even allow us to enter the mountains anymore.”

“Haa, it’s just that something has been happening in the mountains recently. In just half a month, there are already seven or eight people in the village who have been bitten by snakes and insects. There’s even one who has gone missing.”

As she spoke, the quiet girl sighed helplessly.

“This…”

Her expression froze and the other girl also stopped in her tracks.

Then, she hesitantly looked into the depths of the forest and said nervously, “Then, is it not good for me to encourage Sister to go there like this?”

“Idiot, what’s not good about it?”

As she said this, Betty couldn’t help but complain, “If I don’t take a good shower in this summer heat, I’m afraid I’ll stink.”

“And…”

After a pause, Betty looked into the depths of the forest and said hesitantly, “It should be… fine. After all, we’ve been here so many times.”

“That’s true. There aren’t any powerful beasts here.”

With a mischievous smile, her sister Julie took her sister’s hand and walked into the forest.

However, as they went deeper, Betty and Julie’s expressions became more and more strange.

“Sister, do you think this forest was this dense the last time we came here?”

“I don’t think so. It’s so dark and scary.”

Looking at the dense forest where even the light couldn’t fall down, Julie couldn’t help but panic.

However, panic was just panic.

They grew up in the mountains after all.

Gritting their teeth, the two of them sped up as they searched for the path.

Not long after, they crossed a small hill and looked at a pond not far away from them. Both of them smiled.

This pond was still as clear as before. It was as clean as a mirror, reflecting the weariness of the two of them.

At this moment, Lin Meng, who was teasing a nest of peregrine falcons, suddenly jolted.

If he did not hear wrongly, he seemed to have heard someone’s voice.

Moreover, it was a woman.

Lin Meng’s heart was slightly puzzled as he looked in the direction of the voice.

However, after a moment…

Lin Meng could not help but be slightly stunned.

“What kind of opening is this?”

Looking down from a high altitude, there were actually two beautiful figures playing in a small pond hundreds of meters away.

Hundreds of meters were not considered far for the current him.

His excellent eyesight allowed him to see clearly.

“Two beautiful girls.”

After hesitating for a while, he made a simple comment but did not say anything more.

What else could he say? He was no longer in a human body.

As a tree, the most he could do was to tie them up…

Moreover, humans were very troublesome. Up until now, he had not thought about how to get along with humans.

Non-humans had different minds.

As for humans… their minds were too complicated.

If he was unlucky and met some extreme humans, a tree demon like him would most likely be dissected and studied.

He did not dare to take such a risk.

After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of taking the initiative to contact these two women.

Before he had an ability to protect himself, he had to keep a low profile and be a tree.
