Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Qing had no tools to dig the pit, so he could only use his knife. After digging about three meters, a vine root that was as beautiful as jade and emitting a green glow appeared.

At the same time, the mall system actively transmitted a desire for consciousness, and the half-dead green vine's soul trembled, and a terrible feeling emerged in his heart that he was being targeted by his natural enemy and was about to be eaten.

"Master, let's go quickly. Xiao Teng suddenly has a bad feeling. Maybe an invincible strong man is coming." Lu Teng trembled with fear and anxiously urged Zhao Qing to leave immediately.

Zhao Qing was speechless for a moment. What powerful person? It was just the mall coveting your body. However, this vine has a strong sense of danger. Zhao Qing was still digging the roots of the vine with his hands, and he said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll take care of everything."

The green vine thought that this behavior was a sign that the master was very smart and was not afraid of the strong man that frightened it. It was shocked and the last bit of resistance disappeared. Then it was overjoyed. If it served the master carefully and the master gave it a few gifts, its future would be better than that of a vine staying in the old forest.

"Master is awesome! Xiao Teng admires you!"

In this way, Zhao Qing accidentally subdued the first loyal mutant plant that would hit wherever he was pointed.

After digging out all the main roots, Zhao Qing ignored the strong hint from the mall. The green vine was very powerful and even she almost lost to it. She didn't want to feed such a good fighter to the mall. Wouldn't that be a waste, unless the vine was ignorant and rebelled.

Looking at the large mass of taproots in front of him, Zhao Qing had a headache: "Your taproot is too big and difficult to carry. Do you have any solution?"

"Yes, the little vine can shrink all the essence of the body into one meter of the root system. Master, please wait."

The green vine replied honestly. As soon as he finished speaking, the green color of the roots outside quickly faded and withered. In the end, only a one-meter-long vine root as thick as a finger was left. After absorbing all the energy, the vine root, which was originally glowing green, became even greener.

Zhao Qing's eyes were stung and hurt: "You can't do this. Anyone with eyes can see that there is something wrong."

"Master, doesn't this look good?" Green Vine's puzzled voice came out. After all, he is the lord of a region. How can he show his uniqueness if not doing this?

"Oh, you'll be in trouble, but I'll be in trouble. Forget it, I'd better kill you." Zhao Qing threatened deliberately.

"No, no, no, master, I was wrong." The green vine immediately retracted its brilliance and became no different from ordinary vines, fearing that it would lose its life if it was one second late.

"It's so nice to be ordinary and not attract attention, little vine. Today, the master will tell you a truth. You should be low-key as a person, and the same goes for vines. As the saying goes, there are always people better than you. The stronger you are, the more low-key you should be. Otherwise, if you are too arrogant and offend a strong enemy, the master will not come to save you." Zhao Qing was satisfied, and in order to dispel the green vine's desire to show off, he threatened it again.

Green Vine suddenly realized that he would learn from his master in the future. He would disguise himself as an ordinary person to confuse the enemy, and then give the enemy a thundering blow when he got the chance.

"Ah! Xiao Teng understands. He is as low-key as the master, right? The master is obviously extremely powerful, but he disguises himself as an ordinary human, without any energy aura. Even when fighting with the master, the master did not leak out a single energy fluctuation. Xiao Teng now dares not believe that the master and I are the same kind, so Xiao Teng underestimated the enemy. Although Xiao Teng tried his best from the beginning, he may not be the master's opponent, but he will not be defeated so miserably."

Zhao Qing was stunned. Did the vines mistake him for a life form that had also undergone evolution? But Zhao Qing's face darkened immediately. No wonder the vines were indifferent when he first entered the woods. It turned out that they disliked his scarce energy and didn't want to move.

Zhao Qing said expressionlessly: "Okay, let's go now and find other mutants. You show me the direction."

The master seemed angry? Although he didn't know why, Xiao Teng still answered obediently: "Okay, master."

All the way in silence, with the green vine guiding the way, Zhao Qing soon found a mutant monster, so bizarre that it was completely unrecognizable. This must be a problem with evolution, right? Zhao Qing guessed silently.

As expected, as soon as Zhao Qing showed up, a irrational monster with bloodshot eyes rushed towards him. Zhao Qing originally wanted to test whether this creature had developed intelligence like Xiao Teng, but now it seemed that there was definitely something wrong with its evolution.

Zhao Qing immediately retreated while shooting arrows. Each arrow penetrated deep into the flesh and blood. The wounds on the monster became more and more serious. If it were any ordinary animal, it would have known to run for its life, but this monster didn't care at all and just stared at Zhao Qing's waist, where the green vine was temporarily resting.

The green vine was trembling. Without the soil, it was just a weak rhizome. In addition, the battle with its master had consumed most of its energy. It was now so weak that it could not even defeat the weakest mutant beast.

The monster passed through the swift arrow array and gradually approached Zhao Qing. Zhao Qing dropped his bow, grabbed the knife and chopped at the monster's neck with all his strength. Before the monster could show its power, the hard scales on its body only blocked it for a moment, and the huge force exerted by the knife quickly chopped through the defense. The whole knife penetrated halfway into the neck and broke into pieces, and the flesh and bones under the scales could no longer block it, and its body was instantly pierced like a sieve.

The monster fell down, and black and red blood spurted out. Zhao Qing dodged it.

The green vine became even more frightened. The whole vine revealed a weak and pitiful temperament. Its master was so strong. If it was cut with such force, would it still have a chance to beg for mercy?

Zhao Qing asked, "Xiao Teng, what's going on with this monster?"

The green vine shuddered, and its voice became even more flattering: "Master, it failed to evolve. It cannot control energy and can only be controlled by energy, so it only has the instinct to eat."

Zhao Qing was shocked. Evolution could actually be so dangerous? If humans also began to evolve in the future, would many people also become irrational monsters?

There was no point in thinking too much. Zhao Qing opened the panel and absorbed the monster's corpse. Seeing this, Lu Teng became stiff and frightened and speechless.

The power of the black hole is extremely terrifying, and it seems to be able to swallow everything. Is this the power that the master has mastered? The little vine is firmly holding this thick thigh!

Zhao Qing no longer cared about Lu Teng's random thoughts. She stared at the panel. The refresh button was fully lit up, and Zhao Qing carefully leaned over and clicked it hard.

[The official version of the mall is opening, please wait...]

Zhao Qing held her breath and watched the progress bar slowly fill up. The panel broke into pieces and a brand new panel was generated, as if the door to a new world was slowly opening before her eyes.
