Evolve from Otsuki

Chapter 100
After inspecting the underground farm as usual,
Ren's vision returned to the cave, and the tree roots were diving deeper into the spring. At the same time, Ren found something strange on the rock wall deeper in the spring.

"this is"

There are many fist-sized, transparent balls on the rock wall.
Like a piece of jelly,

Wren also found a large school of cannonball fish nearby,
When the tree root was close to the jelly sphere, the group of cannonball fish rushed up to attack the tree root like crazy,

Ryan was terrified,
Hastily killed all the cannonball fish that attacked the tree roots, and then used the tree roots to swallow all the cannonball fish's attributes. The cowardly Mr. Tree Devil felt a little relieved.
After cleaning the surrounding area,
Ren used a perspective view to observe these jellies, and found that there were many tiny red dots inside the jelly. The red dots represented the life of living things. Combined with the previous cannonball fish's desperate attack, and the behavior of wanting to protect these "jellies",

The jelly spheres on the rock wall should be the eggs of the cannonball fish.

"Good stuff."

Ren put the cannonball fish eggs back to their original position and let them hatch,

The phagocytosis attribute should also pay attention to the sustainable development route. The cannonball fish is a monster with rich attributes. It would be best if the fish eggs can be hatched. In the future, this spring can be used as a place for breeding cannonball fish.
Ren used to build a small pond with tree roots near Moonlight Lake to try to raise fish.

It was mostly boring,
In addition, I occasionally want to eat some seafood to improve the taste, so I made a small pond to raise fish, but the effect is not very good, there are always fish escaping, come and go, Ren simply stopped farming ,
now,

Now that we have found a clear spring, and it is semi-enclosed, we can use it to see if we can develop the clear spring into a base for raising fish and monsters.
Ren planned that if the attribute of [The Trick of Absorption] continued to be transformed and still failed to transform into a good ability, then he would simply stop devouring the spring water and instead protect the spring water and use it to raise cannonball fish.

"It's decided."

Ryan thought,

His roots go on devouring,

in mind,
"Knowledge of Absorption +1"

"Unstable activity +1"

"Trait of Cannonball Fish +1"

"Glittering Mystery +1"

The sounds of various attributes increasing came,

There are many stalactite minerals, spring water, and cannonball fish.

【Thunder Element Affinity】【Camouflage】【Stable Activity】【Small Digestion】The level increases quickly, 【Thunder Element Affinity】upgrades to lv4, 【Stable Activity】upgrades to lv5, and 【Small Digestion】level up to lv3,

Among them, the level of [Camouflage] broke through lv10, successfully advanced, and changed into a new ability [softening].

[Softening] ability not only maintains the original camouflage effect, but also can cause a little deformation and softening of the object using [Softening]. Ren tried to use it,
In addition to being better hidden in the surrounding environment, the roots of the tree with the effect of [softening] also become like octopus tentacles in [softening], which can be squeezed and compressed to a certain volume.
It can be hard and hard at any time, and it can also be soft at will.
Adding abilities such as [bonding] and [rotten mucus] allow the roots to secrete various sap
This full sense of déjà vu is full of disharmony
Ren was very puzzled, always feeling that the roots of the tree were evolving in a strange direction,

I hope this [softening] ability will never be used.
In addition to the bumper harvest in terms of attributes,
Rennes has also made a breakthrough in exploring the bottom of the clear spring. As the depth of the dive gets deeper and deeper, it is almost rare to encounter cannonball fish, and the area of ​​the spring water is getting wider and wider.
roughly estimated,
The tree roots have dived at least several thousand meters deep.

The surrounding rock walls are bare, and no living things can be seen. I found a water plant and opened the [Perspective] field of vision. There are only scattered red dots in the field of vision, indicating that there are only three or two monsters in the depth of the huge spring.
There is a rising buoyancy in the water flow. This buoyancy is unusual, as if a water column is coming up from the bottom, and as the root system dives, the abnormal resistance of this water flow becomes more and more obvious.
Apart from these intuitive feelings,
The spring water devoured by the root of the Renn tree also undergoes some changes. The deeper the spring water, the more attributes of [Absorbing Tricks] will be absorbed from it.

On the surface of various signs,

The spring water is almost at the bottom,

Ren tried his best to let the tree roots sneak in faster. He really wanted to find out what was at the bottom of the spring that made this clear spring so different. Perhaps the real treasure was at the bottom of the spring.

The roots continue to dive,

Because the roots that enter the cave are limited, some of them are used to devour stalactite minerals and cannonball fish, so the number of roots responsible for diving is not many, only dozens of the strongest roots are less than,
Dive deeper into the water,
The greater the resistance,

Some tree roots with smaller diameters couldn’t even withstand the pressure from the water flow and burst directly in deep water. For this reason, Ren had to gather the roots together and use [gluing] to secrete mucus, [steel Armor] strengthens the root system to the maximum extent, and urges [a short displacement] to let the roots leap forward when they encounter strong resistance,
Through the cooperation of various abilities, the roots dive hard,

Continue like this for 10 minutes,

suddenly,

Bubbles appear in the water flow, and any slight movement in such a deep water flow is fatal. If it is in the shallow layer of spring water, the small bubbles can be completely ignored by tree roots, but in the weird deep water, tiny The steam drum is like a quiet explosive bomb. Once touched, the roots of the tree will explode.
Ren controlled the tree roots to avoid the bubbles,
Unexpectedly, there are more and more bubbles,
Ren had no choice but to project more consciousness to the tree roots in the deep water area, activate the tenth level [Control Deepening] to move around in the bubble group, and directly use the plundering light to bombard the water bubbles that cannot be avoided.
In this way, although there was a lot of movement, it barely avoided many dangerous bubbles.

In the process of using the plundering light, Ren found that the light exposure time of [Plundering Light] became a bit slow, which is probably also affected by the deep water area.
escaped a round of dense water bubbles,

The depths of the spring become calmer,

The pressure of the water flow is increasing,
Ren had no surprises along the way, and kept a high degree of concentration throughout the whole process. Finally, the tree roots that had been diving touched the soft soil, and the tree roots finally came to the bottom of the spring.

【White Light】Turn on to the largest wheel,

The roots gathered together are like a huge luminous aggregate, illuminating the bottom of the clear spring,

The scene at the bottom of the water was displayed in front of Ren, which was completely different from the bottom of the spring in his imagination. Except for the dark mud, no living things were found here, and no "treasure" was expected.
