My Evolution Starting from a Giant Tree

It was because he had unlocked a little bit of intelligence that he was able to achieve his current status.

However, even though he was already powerful to this extent, when he looked at the strange willow tree on the ground...

He could not help but have his pupils shrink into pinpricks, revealing a wary expression.

In his eyes, Lin Meng was different from the other prey.

Aura.

Or rather, it was a kind of pressure.

Animals and plants all had some kind of aura.

Because of the recovery of spiritual energy, life was able to transition. This kind of aura, which could not be seen by the naked eye, was even more terrifying.

Just like prey, some of their own aura had already reached one meter, and some had even spread to two or three meters.

But Lin Meng was different.

His aura had reached ten meters away.

It could be said that within ten meters of his tree, it was within the range of his aura.

And it was precisely because he could sense the aura—or rather the pressure—that the golden eagle lingered in the sky and did not dare to come down.

With his intelligence, although he could not sense the abnormality of the tree, his instinct was to seek benefits and avoid harm.

However, even so, the fragrance that came from afar still made him stop his footsteps.

Observe. Wait.

As a predator, the golden eagle had enough patience.

It was waiting for a suitable opportunity, an opportunity that could kill it in one strike.

"Aren't you going to jump down?"

Lin Meng looked at the giant golden eagle hovering in the sky and muttered.

It had to be said that the feeling of being stared at by such a predator at the top of the food chain was really uncomfortable.

So much so that every time Lin Meng sensed the presence of the golden eagle, he would instinctively be on guard.

Every branch seemed to be ready for action.

It was not just Lin Meng.

In the bird's nest under Lin Meng's branches.

"Ji ji ji ji!"

The sharp and continuous chirping stimulated Lin Meng's nerves.

Peregrine falcon.

This was a terrifying bird of prey.

At this moment, it was also constantly chirping in the bird's nest, looking nervous.

Compared to the golden eagle, they were still slightly inferior.

Not to mention, they had advanced to level three, which was four levels away from the golden eagle.

The difference in levels could perhaps be made up by other methods.

For example, the peregrine falcon and the others could deal with beasts of a higher level than them.

However, it was absolutely difficult for them to deal with this "Overlord of the Air" - the golden eagle.

After all, they were both birds of prey. The peregrine falcon's advantage in the air and its terrifying speed would be insignificant in front of the golden eagle.

At this moment, there was no need to mention the red fox.

Although she had climbed out of the nest.

When she saw the golden eagle hovering in the air, her body couldn't help but tremble.

The fox was only one of the golden eagle's meals.

"If that's the case..."

Looking at the golden eagle that was hovering a hundred meters in the sky, Lin Meng lost his last bit of patience.

Although he was originally a willow tree, Lin Meng could not bear the mental strain for such a long time.

Thus, he naturally had to make a move.

However, the prerequisite for making a move was to let the golden eagle come down.

Thinking of this, Lin Meng's thoughts couldn't help but fly.

Why couldn't the golden eagle come down?

Why did the golden eagle refuse to leave for a long time when it didn't come down?

Question after question flipped through his mind.

Before long, as if he had thought of something, Lin Meng suddenly laughed coldly.

"It should be fear. As an animal, even if it has evolved, its intelligence must not be high. Thus, the only thing that can make it secretly spy on us is fear."

"He's afraid..."

"And the target of fear is definitely not the peregrine falcon. The red fox is also unlikely. In that case, it's only me."

"But I didn't display too many abnormalities in front of him..."

As he muttered to this point, Lin Meng's heart suddenly sank.

Because, until now, he had also thought of another possibility.

Aura.

The aura of a powerhouse.

The aura that his main body emitted was so powerful that it made the golden eagle fear him.

Thinking of this, Lin Meng also had a plan in mind.

Phew...

After letting out a deep breath, Lin Meng's main body also slowly relaxed his pores.

Trees could breathe.

Lin Meng's main body was no exception.

However, by chance, Lin Meng discovered that he could freely control the tree's breathing.

In other words... He could hold his breath for as long as a human could.

And what did holding his breath mean?

According to Lin Meng's guesses, there should be hope to reduce the emission of some aura.

Just like a martial art from his previous life: turtle breathing technique.

"Haaa..."

Taking another deep breath, Lin Meng decisively held his breath.

Boom!

The entire willow tree shook slightly.

Immediately after, countless willow branches suddenly drooped down.

For a moment, the entire willow tree seemed to be dead.

At this moment, in the depths of the sky...

"Kyakk..."

Another ear-piercing screech sounded, and the giant golden eagle suddenly spread its wings.

A human-like doubt flashed in the depths of its eyes but the giant golden eagle slowly approached the willow tree on the ground.

From what it could sense, the aura emitted by the willow tree suddenly became much weaker.

Although it was still three to four meters away, this aura was insignificant compared to its seven meters.

In other words, this place seemed to have become a place for it to hunt for food.

However, what it did not understand was why the aura suddenly became weaker?

The look of doubt flashed past.

However, the golden eagle didn't probe further.

A simple intelligence wouldn't give it too much space to think.

Compared to humans, its thinking was very simple and pure.

Food was everything.

But now, there wasn't too much danger here and it was enough to hunt for food.

Boom.

With a flap of its wings, the golden eagle turned into a mysterious arrow and charged over.

However, at this moment, the giant golden eagle did not notice...

Rumble...

With a slight vibration, the soil under Lin Meng's willow tree slowly broke apart. Following that, a black tree root that was over ten meters long was exposed.

Under Lin Meng's control, the meandering tree root was like an arm.

Rotate...

With a barely noticeable murmur, the black tree roots began to rotate slowly.

At the same time, the end of the tree roots began to twist slowly until they formed a very sharp 'awl shape'.

Looking up, it looked like a black giant spear that was over ten meters long.

However, at this moment, the black giant spear had already twisted one circle after another. One could faintly hear the 'creak creak' sounds of the tree roots as if it would break in the next second.

Moreover, this was not a long spear.

In order to ensure his death, Lin Meng had even used the other eight branches.

In other words, a total of nine long spears were hidden around him.

At this moment...

Bang!

A violent wind suddenly rose, blowing Lin Meng's entire body until it could not stop shaking.

The giant golden eagle swooped down. The wind that was wrapped in the wind was not too good for Lin Meng.

However, it was precisely because the giant golden eagle's momentum was so shocking that he did not notice that the giant black spears on the ground were about to shoot out.

"Kyakk..."

With a hint of excitement, the giant golden eagle's claws had already reached out.

Immediately after, its entire body pounced towards Lin Meng's main body.
