Reincarnated as A Bamboo

Chapter 37: Critical Red Zone

Once again, Lin Ming looked at the subordinates that were feeding. It did not take too long for them to clean up the four elks.

The blood splatters on the mouths and fur stood out particularly.

Sharp fangs.

Menacing faces and bloody scenes.

Full of wildness.

In their eyes, however, there were also a gleam of wisdom.

They had awakened their spiritual intelligence and were now fundamentally different from ordinary creatures.

Nowadays, Lin Ming could already use the bamboo branches to transmit some slightly more complicated messages and get his subordinates to do what he wanted them to do.

For example, getting a living creature for him to kill and obtain evolution points, they could already do it perfectly.

In the future, how far would their intelligence evolve? Would it be even comparable to humans?

No one could tell for sure.

Right now, Lin Ming just wanted them to focus all their spiritual intelligence on how to upgrade and evolve, and use them in battle.

They must become stronger so that the humans who might return at any time would experience the fear that reached into the heart.

Human beings seemed to be a topic that could never be avoided.

Even in the era of spiritual aura reawakening, they conformed to this situation easily and produced transcendent beings that were different from ordinary humans.

Advanced technology, weapons, and transcendent beings.

Humans still seemed to remain at the apex of nature.

Creatures of different species could never be united at heart.

Human beings were the kind of existence that after having experienced a setback, they would continue to try until they succeeded.

Thousands of years of development had continuously verified this truth.

It could be predicted that even in this era of spiritual aura reawakening, they would still carry out this truththe humiliation they suffered in the Bamboo Sea Nature Reserve would definitely be doubled in return!

Lin Ming had a sense of worry.

As a mutated bamboo, he felt that this awareness was necessary.

At this time, he was not yet the strongest.

Although he ruled the valley, the limitations also made him feel that his current strength was far from enough.

Lin Ming looked to the sky.

In the air, the increasingly dense spiritual aura was no longer as colorless and transparent as it used to be.

He could see wisps of light blue spiritual aura floating in the air like aurora borealis, almost covering the entire valley, even extending to the mountain peaks on both sides and overflowing beyond the valley.

Now, he could already absorb the maximum amount of spiritual aura from the air, soil, Spirit Lake, and underground Spirit River.

However, the Rank-2 threshold seemed to be deliberately impeding his progress.

Advancement was very difficult.

Lin Ming had realized this since the beginning.

When he entered Rank-1, there were not many signs or peculiarities. At that time, he had just killed a mutated creature and gained evolution points, and the system came with a notification.

Evolution seemed simple enough.

Now, however, it also made Lin Ming felt that it was extremely difficult.

Looking at the evolution points that had almost reached 5,000, he was a little anxious.

The last time he entered Rank-1, it only took 500 evolution points.

Now, was it going to require 5,000 points?

Or rather, 10,000 points?

[Ding! You have absorbed the spiritual aura in the air, evolution points +10]

[Ding! Evolution points have exceeded 5,000 points. You may evolve. Do you want to evolve?]

Just then, as if on purpose, the system mischievously came up with two notifications in a row!

"I'm finally able to evolve." Although Lin Ming was a little excited, he still did not immediately choose to evolve. Instead, he used the bamboo branches to gently caress his subordinates.

The last time he evolved, it caused mountains to split and chaos everywhere. Who knew what would happen this time?

To be safe, he would let his subordinates distance themselves from him to be safe.

Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing if they were accidentally injured by his uncontrollable evolution.

Very soon, the subordinates filed out like an orderly army and headed straight to the exit of the valley.

The distance of more than ten kilometers had reached the limit of what Lin Ming could perceive.

That should be more than enough.

Sensing the location of his subordinates, Lin Ming did not stay idle either.

5,000 evolution points would soon be gone in a flash. If he did not take this opportunity to continue to absorb spiritual aura and accumulate some evolution points, would that not be a loss?

The root system, the culm, every bamboo branch, and every bamboo leaf absorbed the spiritual aura frantically.

However, it only took less than half an hour for all the subordinates to reach the exit of the valley.

Lin Ming, who had taken this opportunity to accumulate 55 points, felt that the effort was not in vain.

"Okay, finally"

Without suppressing his excitement, Lin Ming moved his consciousness and chose to evolve!

At the same time, crimson light suddenly flashed out from the diamond shape in the center of Lin Ming's culm, and the valley completely boiled over!

Somewhere in the Tang Kingdom.

Zheng Guodong frowned as he stared closely at the electronic map of the Bamboo Sea Nature Reserve in the northwest of Shu Province marked as a 'danger orange' zone.

In the past two months, he had accepted five missions and also completed them successfully.

However, what happened in the Bamboo Sea Nature Reserve kept haunting him.

It even caused him inexplicable anger.

On the electronic map, the Tang Kingdom and the rest of the world had undergone a common change.

The concentration of spiritual aura had skyrocketed.

The density of spiritual aura in almost all spiritual realms was constantly rising.

The area of the spiritual realm continued to expand at an alarming rate.

As a result, many spiritual realms that were far apart even connected as one, and the places humans gathered were immediately attacked and destroyed by mutated creatures.

Population relocation and moving the people from the villages and towns close to the spiritual realms became a common activity in all countries.

Although this brought considerable trouble and even conflict, it was better than being killed by the mutated creatures that had become a threat.

Zheng Guodong furrowed his brows.

The spiritual realm area in the Bamboo Sea Nature Reserve had expanded from a valley with a radius of more than ten kilometers more than two months ago to the point where even Little Li Village had fallen. To the extent, it was now connected to the Lingxiao Peak Nature Reserve that was otherwise a far distance away.

Strangely enough, it was detected that the center of the spiritual aura was still within the Bamboo Sea Nature Reserve.

"Tsk, what the hell is going on?" Zheng Guodong gritted his teeth.

He recalled that morning again.

Buzz.

His phone suddenly vibrated.

"Captain Zheng, come to my place."

There was something strange in Elder Zhai's voice.

Zheng Guodong did not hesitate and drove there immediately.

Soon, he entered Elder Zhai's office but he did not say anything. Instead, he handed a bunch of materials to Zheng Guodong.

"This is?"

"See for yourself." Elder Zhai coughed lightly and took a sip of tea. "It should be of great interest to you."

Zheng Guodong just flipped through a page before his body immediately trembled all over.

"The Bamboo Sea Nature Reserve has been elevated to Critical Red Zone? When did that happen?"

"Well, the observer's rating was updated fifteen minutes ago. A drastic change in spiritual aura was also suddenly observed there." Elder Zhai spoke slowly and methodically.

"Drastic change?" Zheng Guodong's heart raced. He could not get his head around it. What happened there?

"The Tang Kingdom has requested for you to lead a squad of transcendents to wipe out the mutated creatures there." Elder Zhai took another sip of tea.

"Lead a squad?" Zheng Guodong felt unusually excited!

"Yes, and you'll also be provided long-range artillery firearms as well as more military support."

Hearing Elder Zhai's words, Zheng Guodong felt that all the cells in his body could burst into flames.

"This is really good news!" His voice was trembling!

Elder Zhai smiled slightly. "It looks like you can return there and justify yourself."

Zheng Guodong's gaze burned. "Just as well, I can test my strength that has just been promoted to Grade-C."
