Chapter 720 Just ask if it is rare.

 Lu Yao named Lingji [Soft Hedgehog Fish].

The data panel of the Soft Hedgehog is stronger than that of the second-generation juvenile fish. Its initial HP and damage have doubled, but its speed has dropped by 1 point.

  The new spiritual base was born.

 …

 【Lingji·Soft Hedgehog Fish】: The fish has sharp spines on its scales, swims slowly, and has a strong physique.

  【Morphological Characteristics】: Small to medium sized fish, with a flat head, high dorsal fin, and spines all over the body's shield scales, with a certain degree of aggression.

  【habitation environment】: living in water.

 【Life habits】: Omnivorous, living in groups, keen on eating.

  【Rarity】: low

 …

“You will gain a total of 2600 spiritual energy and 1 [Escape] from this life spiritual base evolution.”

 Lu Yao generally understood.

Xiaoyaoyou is actually a path of biological evolution starting from fish, with the purpose of obtaining new spiritual foundations from different evolutionary paths.

If a spiritual base can be made, the spiritual master will give him another chance.

In [Lingji Myth], gathering spirits collect life materials everywhere outside the virtual universe. There are also corresponding ways internally, and Xiaoyaoyou seems to be one of them.

Lu Yao immediately started the journey of the next generation of fish.

 At the initial stage this time, in addition to ordinary juvenile fish, there are also soft hedgehog fish to choose from.

 Of course choose strong new varieties.

In addition to the inherent [Iron Stomach], Soft Hedgehog Fish also has three add-on options [Rapid Reproduction], [Social Living], and [Burrowing].

This time Lu Yao chose [living in groups].

Now that the soft hedgehog fish has a certain fighting ability, it can try to become a junior hunter.

  【Countdown to 3…】

 Lu Yao paid attention to the screen.

 The soft hedgehog fish is swimming in the water, but this time it is no longer alone, but three brothers. The three fish walked hand in hand in the water, quite like good brothers traveling together in the rivers and lakes.

They retain their ancestors’ habit of not being picky eaters. They eat algae and aquatic plants along the way and indirectly hunt insects on the water surface.

 After quickly upgrading to LV5, the three brothers headed towards the depths of the water.

 They began to cooperate to hunt other fish, starting with small fish as well. Although they are not fast, the small fish themselves are not very vigilant. When faced with the soft hedgehog fish of the same size, it is easy for them to get close to them and fight in a group before becoming food.

However, the good times did not last long, and soon the soft hedgehog fish encountered a higher-ranking predator. It was a large water snake lying in the deep water. Its huge mouth not only swallowed the small fish caught by the soft hedgehog, but also took away one of the three brothers.

 The two surviving fish immediately fled back to shallow water and continued to eat algae and bugs.

As an old viewer of the animal world, Lu Yao is quite calm about this.

  In the original natural environment, the weak and the strong eat each other according to their abilities.

The two Soft Hedgehog Fish brothers focused on hunting in shallow water, and gradually grew in size. The eldest brother Fish reached LV20, and the second brother Fish also reached LV18. They have become extra strong and their speed has also increased a lot.

Other soft hedgehog fish came to join us intermittently, and their number suddenly increased to ten.

 The food in the shallow water areas can no longer meet their needs, and the fish schools once again attack the deep water areas.

 In the deep water area, the soft hedgehog took the initiative to find the dominant water snake in the area.

The school of fish swarmed up and launched a fierce attack on the enemy.

The water snake is very big, but moves slowly, making it difficult to keep track of the fish. Although it also swallowed three soft hedgehog fish, it also became covered with bruises. After struggling for a while, it finally swayed and fell to the bottom of the water, motionless.

 The soft hedgehogs swarmed up and ate this powerful and huge enemy into white bones.

As a result, the soft hedgehog completely replaced the water snake and occupied this hunting area with many game fish.

Lu Yao saw that of the first two soft hedgehog fish, one reached LV22 when he died, and the other reached an astonishing LV28 before death. The size had become very large, and the upper limit was much higher than before.

screen display.

  【End of this generation】

“The getaway is over and settlement begins. The level gain is 28×100, the spirit base reaction gain is 3×100, and the reproduction gain is 1×300.”

“You will gain a total of 4000 spiritual energy from this life spiritual base evolution.”

The experience of this fourth-generation soft hedgehog allowed Lu Yao to clarify the determination mechanism of Xiaoyaoyou.

 In fact, this can be seen as three general directions of encouragement.

 Direction 1: Improve individual strength and try to increase the highest level of each generation.

 Direction two, hunting different species, some will prompt spiritual reactions. In fact, preying on other species may cause chemical reactions at the spiritual level, and the next generation's optional fragmentation ability depends on this direction.

 Direction three, crazy fertility, purely focused on increasing the number of reproductions, and following the breeding stream.

 Each has its own way of playing.

 …

 Unknowingly, Lu Yao spent the whole day playing "Xiaoyaoyou".

 After the soft hedgehog fish, he tried several evolutionary directions.

Like [Poison], equipped with this ability, the attack of the soft hedgehog will cause the enemy to continuously lose blood. But in actual combat, those who can be defeated by the soft hedgehog can turn the opponent into food. Even if the enemy is poisoned by the enemy that cannot be defeated, the soft hedgehog still has to die. Without microcontrol, the poisoning ability becomes useless.

Of course, it may also require other abilities to match it - such as long-range attacks, but currently there is no similar fragmentation ability.

 Another example is [Drilling Holes], which allows the soft hedgehog to hide under the water and conduct fixed-point ambush. However, this kind of hibernation will result in the loss of space for eating aquatic plants and algae, and it will completely rely on hunting other fish, which in turn increases the risk of survival and reduces growth. Another limitation is that only three initial capabilities can be configured.

  Lu Yao finally determined the iron triangle combination of [Iron Stomach] + [Social Living] + [Insight] (can see the weakness of the prey).

These three characteristics have remained unchanged. After a few generations, the initial levels of these abilities have actually been improved. Iron stomach has reached LV3, and gregariousness has also reached LV2. It can be seen that improving the ability of natural evolution takes a long time to cultivate.

As the level limit of soft hedgehog fish continues to increase from generation to generation, they eat everything and are also eaten by other species. After a large number of spiritual reactions, a brand new branch has developed.

“The life spirit base evolved successfully this time, and gained spiritual energy × 6000 and [Happy Journey] × 2.”

 The picture shows a black fish with a well-proportioned body. Unlike its ancestors, the spines on its body have disappeared, and its strong fins can support the body like feet to stand. It can not only live and hunt in the water, but also live on land on the shore and hunt insects.

  Lu Yao named it "Landing Fish".

 The spiritual base of the landed fish is medium in rarity, and it brings more spiritual energy benefits.

 Lu Yao looked at the fish that were able to land, and couldn't help thinking that this seemed to be a sign that marine life had evolved into amphibians.

 The higher the rarity of the species, the higher the psychic power it obtains.

So Lu Yao's heart suddenly changed.

It seems like we have to work hard today.

 …

Nearly ten hours later, Lu Yao looked at the new species on the screen with tired eyes and a smile on his lips.

“The life spirit base evolved successfully this time, and gained spiritual power ×72000, [Happy Journey] ×20.”

 The image in the center of the screen is a weird black fish.

It has fin-shaped limbs, a long tail, membrane wings on its back, and three pairs of six insect-like tentacles on its head. This fish can glide, enter water, and crawl on land. The tentacles on its head also serve as touch, smell, and hearing receptors.

 Tuoduo is the Marine Corps among fishes, and its hunting grounds are all on land, sea and air.

Don’t worry about whether it’s weird or not, just ask whether it’s rare or not.

Lu Yao named this highly rare spirit base [Three-Dwelling Fish].

 He used practice to verify that his guess was correct.

Since we are collecting various spiritual bases, the weirder and narrower the path, the more likely we are to find some weird species that are rare in nature.

  Displayed in the upper right corner.

 Psionics: 282577.

Lu Yao took a sip of lemonade.

 His income from Xiaoyaoyou today exceeded 200,000 psychic powers.

 Compared with mining in mining areas, Xiaoyaoyou is undoubtedly an industry with higher returns and higher ceilings.

 It just requires an admission permit and the threshold is relatively high.

Lu Yao is now self-sufficient in the number of free trips, as long as he can create a new spiritual base.

　　I can be considered as having found a new open source path in the era of high consumption.

 【Xiaoyaoyou】focuses on ideas, life actions and evolution are in the auto-chess mode, and it is also very suitable for Lu Yao's appetite and interest, so there is no need to worry about operational issues.

Just when Lu Yao was about to start the evolution of the next generation of [Three-hide Fish], a prompt suddenly appeared on the screen.

　　【The Kingdom of Jindan wants to exchange "alchemy" for "theology". 】

  【Your civilization has not yet mastered "Alchemy", would you like to trade? 】

 Jindan Kingdom?

This name sounds like a civilization that practices immortality.

Lu Yao couldn't help but feel excited.

Having been in the virtual universe for a long time, I finally saw the pure oriental world of cultivating immortals!

He couldn't wait to double-click the entry, and his perspective jumped to a new space.

This place is a land of sand and rocks, with the Colossus totem stuck crookedly on the ground, with only half of its head exposed, like a giant observing in the dark.

 Beside the totem, stood a little man.

It wears a straw hat and tattered clothes. He is an old man with white hair.

This villain named [Zhang Cheng] had a dialog box popping up above his head: "O evil **** from another world, please complete the exchange with me."

“I exchange the alchemy I know for the theology that is close to the gods in your body.”

 “I need to know more about the gods.”

"Although I don't know if you can hear my voice...but you are my only chance...The master said not to contact you, but it is not important now."

 “Take away my alchemy and soul, I need theology! I need to find out the weaknesses of the gods!”

“Only a powerful evil **** like you can fight against the gods, right?”

Lu Yao couldn't help but be startled, and then became curious.

  I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect it.

Behind this Colossus Totem trading technology, someone actually wanted to overthrow a god.

 It is so rare to find a pixelated villain who has the ambition to declare war on the gods.

 Let me see what you are going to do.

Lu Yao observed secretly and attentively.
