2351 The temptation of evolution (1)
According to Tang Zhen's thoughts, since he could observe the enemy from the point of view of the plants, could he also control the actions of the plants?
For example, controlling the tree under the middle-aged cultivator's butt, turning the branches into a huge hand, and strangling the middle-aged cultivator to death?
This idea seemed ridiculous, but it was not impossible.
Some of the plants in the natural world had special abilities to prey on insects or small animals.
Wormgrass and man-eating trees were actually similar things.
Now that he could connect his thoughts with the plants, he could completely control the movements of the plants with his own thoughts. He should be able to obtain a better control effect.
How could a plant's simple thinking be compared to a human's? even if they had the ability, they couldn't think of how to do it.
Of course, there would be a lot of restrictions in the process of controlling it. After all, he was controlling a plant and not a human. Many of the expected actions might not be possible.
Every creature had its own characteristics. It was impossible to apply the habits of one creature to another.
However, Tang Zhen didn't mind it. He only wanted to give it a try. If it was possible, he would be able to do so easily.
Tang Zhen directly sat cross-legged on the ground when he thought of this. After which, he began to try it out according to his own thoughts.
The first thing he controlled was an ordinary weed around him, which was everywhere in the forest.
The moment his thoughts replaced the wild grass, a special feeling spontaneously arose, causing Tang Zhen to be slightly stunned.
The thinking perspective of plants was completely different from that of humans. If he had the opportunity to experience it, it would definitely be a very novel feeling.
Tang Zhen, who had replaced little grass's thoughts, felt that he had also become simple. There was only a simple thought left in his mind, and that was to continue to grow and reproduce.
Fortunately, this thought only appeared for an instant before it completely disappeared. Clearly, the power of this thought was too weak and was unable to contend against Tang Zhen's thought.
Tang Zhen secretly sighed in his heart. As expected, even plants had feelings. It was just that he was too lowly and insignificant, and no one had noticed it.
Next, he controlled the grass to do some of the expected actions, but the effect was not ideal.
Xiao Cao, who was originally a humble and ordinary person, even if it had a human soul, it could not do some actions that it was destined not to do.
Just like how a fish could not leave the water and a bird could not fly without wings, the grass was the same.
After trying for half a day, the only achievement that Tang Zhen obtained was that he was able to make the small grass continuously sway as though it was being sucked by a gust of wind.
This result was not bad, but it was far from satisfying Tang Zhen.
could it be that my thinking was wrong and plants can't be controlled by anyone? or perhaps I chose the wrong target and should have changed to a higher level plant?
When Tang Zhen thought up to this point, he was prepared to try to leave little grass's body and continue to look for a target for his control experiment.
But just as he was about to exit, an idea flashed through his mind, and he made a new attempt.
Plants could absorb nutrients for their own growth. Could he make some changes in this aspect?
When Tang Zhen thought up to this point, he immediately controlled the grass and began to absorb the nutrients from the soil.
Under normal circumstances, the absorption of nutrients from plants was a subconscious act, unlike humans who took the initiative to eat to supplement their body.
The grass itself did not possess the ability to absorb nutrients quickly. However, with Tang Zhen's intervention, it had gained this ability.
When this ability was unleashed, Tang Zhen immediately felt a huge change in Xiao Cao. It was as if there was an endless stream of energy-like things surging into her body, making him feel so comfortable that he wanted to shout out loud.
Under the influence of this energy, Xiao Cao's body grew taller and thicker. At the same time, its roots began to extend underground, trying to absorb more energy.
Xiao Cao's originally simple mind suddenly became filled with a desire. It was a pure and greedy desire to obtain more energy.
It knew very well how much it would benefit from this.
The more energy it absorbed, the richer the little grass's thoughts became. Soon, it became exactly like those big trees.
In just a short time, this ordinary grass had grown to more than a meter tall, and it seemed to be growing continuously.
This rate of growth was far too abnormal. Clearly, it had absorbed a large amount of World Energy, causing this sudden change to occur.
Tang Zhen felt incomparably excited in his heart. This situation was sufficient to prove that his idea had succeeded. Through absorbing energy, the little grass had already begun to evolve.
The evolved grass would be easier to control, and it could also do some actions that plants couldn't do before.
For example, Tang Zhen had previously tried to control the little grass to make a sweeping motion. However, he was completely unable to succeed. It was as if the little grass would directly break in half if he did that.
Even with the flexibility of a blade of grass, it was impossible for it to withstand such extreme movements. After all, it was just a plant and not a living creature.
However, at this moment, as Tang Zhen's thoughts rose, little grass easily completed this difficult move.
Xiao Cao's seemingly tender branches and leaves were actually as sharp as a blade. It easily cut off a small tree nearby that was as thick as a wrist.
As for Xiao Cao, she was completely unharmed.
The results of the test made Tang Zhen both surprised and happy. At the same time, he was also secretly pondering. Since an ordinary weed had become so powerful after evolution, what kind of powerful degree would a human, who was the spirit of all living things, reach after evolution?
If it was possible, he wanted to give it a try.
Tang Zhen could not help but feel some hesitation in his heart when faced with such an enormous temptation. He wanted to obtain great strength, but he was similarly afraid that he would have to endure some terrifying mutation.
Evolution had to come with a corresponding price. If there were no changes to the body, there was naturally no evolution.
For example, the grass that he controlled was now out of tune with its original species, or rather, it had become a completely different species.
If Tang Zhen wanted to evolve, he would definitely appear in a corresponding state, causing him to be out of tune with normal humans.
The moment he thought about how he was about to become an alien and completely draw a line from his original race, Tang Zhen felt an indescribable fear and resistance in his heart.
in order to obtain great power, I have to become a monster in the eyes of my own kind. Is this price worth it?
At the same time that Tang Zhen was in a dilemma, there was a faint thought in his heart that was telling him that this was a rare opportunity. He must not miss it easily. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
However, he had another thought, which reminded him not to do that, because it was an extremely dangerous evil path.
The price of evolution was extremely high, and every time it happened, there was a 90% chance of death. If one really chose the path of evolution, it was very likely that they would destroy themselves.
Tang Zhen did not know what choice he should make. However, he knew that this choice was related to his future life. If he made the wrong choice, he would definitely suffer unimaginable hardships. Death might be the easiest outcome.
At this moment, Tang Zhen, who had fallen into a difficult situation, did not know his original identity. At the same time, he was facing an extremely great danger.
If he could think about these problems from the perspective of the creator, he would find that the choice he was facing was actually a huge trap.
