Chapter 208 Time-Limited Level
Chapter 208 Time-Limited Level
"it's pretty simple, huh."
li muyang, who had easily defeated the winged moth, directed the emerald blade mantis to wander among the grass leaves, attacking the insects and mosquitoes in his field of vision.
with each creature killed and devoured, the emerald blade mantis gained evolutionary points.
however, devouring the same species multiple times would yield fewer and fewer evolutionary points.
the more difficult the target defeated, the higher the evolutionary points obtained.
li muyang controlled the emerald blade mantis as it roamed through the mountains and forests, quickly getting used to this game mode.
and the emerald blade mantis had accumulated enough numbers for its initial evolution and began its transformation.
as li muyang selected the evolution button, the emerald blade mantis in view suddenly started burrowing, digging a small hole in the ground to hide in.
then strands of light, like thin threads, twined around the mantis' body, eventually forming a neat cocoon that enveloped the emerald blade mantis.
[evolving...]
[1%...]
[5%...]
[7%...]
watching the emerald blade mantis cocooning and evolving, li muyang began to wait.
"the thing is, i wonder if the species will change after evolving."
this process is exactly the same as the trashy page games from my previous life.
the only difference is that the game's graphics given by the system are incredibly realistic, almost indistinguishable from the jungles in reality.
as the evolution of the emerald blade mantis was completed, the cocoon underground was completely absorbed by the mantis, and the one that crawled out of the earth had grown twice its original size.
the mantis, which was only five centimeters long before, was now longer than an adult's hand.
its previously slender and weak-looking body suddenly became somewhat intimidating after the proportional increase in size.
"this game's positive feedback is quite satisfying."
even the beginner's level mystery of loushan city wasn't as simple as this fun little game.
without much thinking or any complicated maneuvers, just by controlling the emerald blade mantis to rush up, slash, devour, it could evolve and level up.
li muyang, chuckling, made the emerald blade mantis jump up and charge towards the distant devouring target.
it was a juvenile mountain rat, not a large creature, but to the original emerald blade mantis, it was a colossus, a presence too daunting to provoke.
but now, the emerald blade mantis, having doubled in size, actually tangled with the juvenile mountain rat in combat.
although it failed to kill and devour the rat, the mantis' sharp blade-like limbs managed to inflict several shallow cuts on the mountain rat.
"this is just the first evolution and it's already this powerful. the future holds promise."
li muyang silently covered his forehead.
"to die so casually..."
but it wasn't surprising.
this jade-blade mantis, although it evolved once, was still weak and only capable of capturing flying insects in the mountains and forests.
to try and confront a blood lotus sect soldier squad with such a fragile mantis was truly a case of a mayfly shaking a tree.
looking at the failure notification in his view, li muyang returned to the main game menu, ready to reload and try again.
but at the moment of reloading, something suddenly occurred to him.
so li muyang exited the reloading interface and re-entered the game.
it was the familiar character selection interface again, with three different animals waiting for li muyang to choose.
this time, li muyang directly chose the one with the lowest evolution potential but also the strongest: [the king of mount wu].
as li muyang selected the tiger, the scene in his field of vision rapidly changed to a third-person perspective inside a cave.
continuous rain pattered outside the cave onto the forest, as a stocky, majestic tiger lay beside the cave, coldly observing everything in the woods, its regal bearing chilling to behold.
li muyang controlled the majestic tiger to stand up, ready to attack and devour the other animals in the forest.
but just as he entered the game, he found that an option for a random time-limited challenge had popped up in his field of vision.
[random time-limited challenge is now available—enter?]
[yes/no]
seeing that this time the time-limited challenge had popped up directly, li muyang's heart skipped a beat.
"...is this attack on the blood lotus sect convoy an event that occurs in real-time?"
at this moment, he suddenly guessed the essence of this time-limited challenge.
he chose [yes] without hesitation.
then the game interface in his view changed, and the tiger appeared on that dark, torch-lit official road.
and facing the sudden emergence of the majestic tiger, this time the blood lotus sect soldiers could no longer ignore it, reacting frantically.
"a tiger! it's a tiger!"
"a tiger with white fur around its eyes!"
the blood lotus sect soldiers panicked at the sight of the tiger blocking their path.
and li muyang controlled the majestic tiger to charge straight at them.
a few leaps, and he had killed all the mortal soldiers, with blood blossoming on the official road.
the grain that the soldiers were escorting also became the possession of li muyang.
