8: evolution! D level!
“Everyone, the Golden Eagle in the video is preliminarily judged to be a more advanced existence. Its defense cannot even be penetrated by bullets, and it can also spray freezing gas, instantly freezing our soldiers.”
“Against such an existence, ordinary firearms are no longer effective!”
When these words came from the mouth of the highly respected Old Wu, no one doubted their authenticity.
But precisely because of this, the entire hall was silent at this moment.
The weapons that humanity prided itself on would one day lose their effectiveness; this was simply a subversion of their worldview.
Seeing this, Old Wu said nothing more, only sighed, and then stepped down from the platform. He was only skilled in research; as for other matters, they were beyond his capabilities.
The scene was silent for a moment, then everyone came back to their senses, their brows furrowed.
Everyone present was an elite and naturally would not be defeated by such a small matter.
The meeting continued, and it was ultimately decided to select an area for the extermination of fierce beasts, while also broadcasting live to all citizens to demonstrate the power protecting humanity.
After the plan was set, discussions began on the specific location for the extermination.
After discussing for a while, someone suddenly said, “I propose going to the mountain forest behind Jinglin Forest!”
“Why?”
“Based on previous operations, it can be confirmed that there are not many fierce beasts in Jinglin Forest, and those found are all just beginning to evolve. It is likely that there are not many powerful fierce beasts in the mountain forest behind it. Broadcasting from there can avoid accidents.”
Hearing this, the commander-in-chief considered it for a moment, then immediately made the decision and agreed to the entire proposal.
If Lu Yu had been present, he would have recognized that the so-called Jinglin Forest was precisely where he had hunted before. It was because he had plundered all the F-rank fierce beasts that such a large forest now had no F-rank fierce beasts.
And the mountain forest behind, designated as the mission target, was precisely where Lu Yu was located.
…
It had been four full days since he arrived here. During these four days, Lu Yu had not wasted any time clearing his territory. Now, within a hundred-meter radius of this place, no fierce beasts survived.
In these four days, Lu Yu had only eliminated one F-rank fierce beast, gaining a mere 23 evolution points. Adding some unranked fierce beasts, Lu Yu’s evolution points currently stood at 487.
He was only 13 points away from the 500 points needed to evolve to D-rank.
And now, Lu Yu was fighting an eagle.
This eagle was an F-rank existence, only slightly smaller than Lu Yu.
Coincidentally, after Lu Yu finished clearing his territory and planned to guard the spirit fruit, this eagle sensed the spirit fruit’s aura and ignorantly intruded into Lu Yu’s territory.
Lu Yu naturally wouldn't refuse such a delivered meal.
Lu Yu clawed at the eagle’s wing, and instantly, the eagle’s left wing was torn off by Lu Yu, bleeding profusely.
Logically, after losing one wing, it should fall, but Lu Yu saw the eagle endure the pain, a light flashing across its body. The next moment, every feather on the eagle’s body began to move at a completely uniform frequency.
The twitching of these feathers eerily maintained the eagle’s flight.
“Old Man Niu’s coffin lid is about to burst open!”
Lu Yu couldn’t help but complain.
Subsequently, Lu Yu saw the eagle let out a cry, and the next moment, all its feathers shot out, transforming into sharp blades that attacked Lu Yu.
What was bizarre was that the eagle, having lost all its feathers, remained suspended in the air like a plucked chicken, and it was also missing a wing.
Lu Yu had no time to worry about these things. He immediately used Steel Body, increasing his body’s defense, and directly withstood the feathers.
“My turn!”
Lu Yu was not so good-tempered as to take a beating without fighting back. He had only been playing with the opponent just now; now he was getting serious.
It was the same old routine: Frost Impact for crowd control, followed by Claw Assault for massive damage.
The eagle failed to dodge, its head was blown off, and its corpse fell directly to the ground.
Coincidentally, the detached feathers flew towards the eagle in the air, but Lu Yu had eliminated the eagle first, causing those feathers to lose control of their spiritual energy mid-flight and fall mercilessly from the sky.
The majestic eagle died in a plucked chicken posture.
“Such an ugly death, it shouldn’t affect my plunder, right?”
Lu Yu muttered to himself, then immediately opened the panel to extract.
“Congratulations on obtaining 16 evolution points.”
“Congratulations on obtaining the skill: Feather Blade.”
Seeing the evolution points, Lu Yu became excited. With 16 points added, his evolution points were exactly 500, enough for him to evolve to D-rank!
However, seeing the skill, Lu Yu’s expression was a little strange.
This skill, surely it wasn’t the one where the eagle “exploded its feathers” and turned into a plucked chicken just now, was it?
Although its power was quite good, it really damaged his image!
Feather Blade (Lv1) (Evolution points required for upgrade: 10 points): Explodes all feathers, transforming them into sharp blades, attacking the target at high speed! Note: Limited to available feathers.
“Hiss—”
Lu Yu gasped, not expecting it to actually be this skill.
Without hesitation, Lu Yu directly closed the skill description. He didn’t want to turn into a plucked chicken for a skill.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yu said:
“Panel, evolve!”
At the same time, Lu Yu performed an action, spending a full 500 evolution points to begin his evolution.
At this moment, a golden light appeared on Lu Yu’s body, forming a light shield around him, enveloping Lu Yu within it.
This was a benefit provided by the panel; as long as evolution points were spent for evolution, such a protective shield would be granted.
This protective shield could ensure that Lu Yu would not be disturbed by external factors during the evolution process, guaranteeing a perfect evolution.
At this moment, Lu Yu felt a huge surge of spiritual energy appear out of thin air within him, flowing to every inch of his body. This spiritual energy continuously permeated every part of Lu Yu’s body.
The spiritual energy seemed endless, never depleting.
The feeling of being nourished and strengthened by spiritual energy was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring. In this comfortable sensation, Lu Yu fell into a deep sleep.
Time flew by, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Without Lu Yu’s patrol, some fierce beasts had appeared in the territory. At this moment, a fly, about the size of a normal rabbit, hovered beside a golden giant egg.
The fly could feel a trembling aura emanating from this giant egg, but at the same time, a spiritual energy aura with a fatal attraction was constantly drawing it in.
However, the fly circled the golden giant egg again and again, but could not find a crack.
Helplessly, the fly found a random spot and landed on top of the golden egg.
At this moment, as if the golden egg could not bear the weight, it cracked with a 'kacha' sound.
The fly was overjoyed, but before it could do anything, the momentum that erupted from the crack directly crushed it. In an instant, the fly was reduced to ashes.
Subsequently, the giant egg was covered in cracks.
