The Path of Evolution

Zhao Hao's eyes were opened once again and he firmly believed in Niu Gegege's words.

Since primitive creatures are divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate, and advanced, it is not surprising that monsters are divided into four levels.

Could it be that when he met such a person who had seen the world, Zhao Hao eagerly asked the question in his mind: "How are these four levels of monsters divided, and do they have any characteristics?"

"The more you see them, the easier it will be to distinguish them. The junior monsters have not yet broken away from the beast form and surpass the advanced primitive creatures in terms of strength and speed." Niu Gegege patiently said: "Intermediate monsters are easier to distinguish, in half-human and half-beast form. , very much like the orcs in Western fantasy stories.”

Zhao Hao kept these characteristics in mind and asked: "Where are the high-level monsters?"

"The characteristics of high-level monsters are also very obvious. Their appearance is almost indistinguishable from humans. A few of them still retain some animal characteristics, such as having fox tails or cat ears." Niu Gege explained.

Zhao Hao had a relatively intuitive understanding. It seemed that Sister Lu and the Blood Demon Sword Demon were at least high-level monsters.

As soon as he had this idea, he heard Niu Gegege say: "There is a large pit with a radius of ten miles in the southwest of the Endless Forest. If I guessed correctly, it was the trace left by the battle between two high-level monsters."

This sentence instantly confirmed Zhao Hao's thoughts.

He asked curiously: "Can you deal with high-level monsters?"

"Hey, you think too highly of me. I don't have much problem dealing with low-level monsters. When I encounter intermediate monsters, I'll probably give it a 50-50 shot. There are some more powerful intermediate monsters that I can't beat..." Niu Gege said this. , some said self-deprecatingly: "As for high-level monsters, I will run as far as I see them."

Zhao Hao became enlightened and seemed to see a glimmer of light.

Ever since he witnessed the shocking battle between Bai Lu and the Blood Demon Sword Demon, he had a preconceived notion in his mind that the monsters were ruthless characters like Sister Lu, and he had never thought of attacking the monsters.

After listening to Niu Gegege's experience today, he was tempted. As long as he improves his strength, there is still hope of defeating the junior monsters. By then, he may have the full value of his psychic genes!

The opening preface of the Chaos Sutra in the ancient stone tablet was as follows:

The road to evolution is uncertain about life and death.

There is no way to heaven and no way to earth.

Open Heaven is the main one, Chaos is the secondary one.

Only by channeling and ascending can you find the right path.

This preface, which has puzzled Zhao Hao for a long time, is now interpreted in a way that is close to the truth.

"There is a question that I can't figure out. Some people can soar when their mutant genes are full. For example, my girlfriend has already entered that threshold." Zhao Hao asked the biggest question on his mind: "The psychic gene you are talking about What’s the difference between reaching full value and rising to full value with mutant genes?”

"Have you ever played online games?" Niu Gegege smiled obscenely: "In many games, there is a difference between top-quality accounts and garbage accounts. The same is true for ascension. The foundation of mutant ascension is too poor. Psychic ascension requires accumulation and accumulation before ascension. It has 400 points more combat power than a mutated evolved person, and it will naturally be different after ascending. Although I haven't ascended yet, I can still sense some things."

Zhao Hao suddenly realized that he had played a turn-based game called Dahua 2 when he was in middle school. There was a "reincarnation" setting in the game. Theoretically, players at level 98 can be reincarnated and receive relatively few free attribute points. Aspiring players will choose to reincarnate at level 102. They will get more free attribute points and have great advantages in the later stage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat for his girlfriend, and quickly asked: "If the top mutant evolvers obtain psychic crystals, or the flesh and blood of psychic creatures, can they increase their psychic genes?"

"No." Niu Gegege replied firmly: "Psychic genes must be obtained by chance and cannot be plundered."

Zhao Hao was disappointed: "How could this happen?"

"Haha, I have long thought about cultivating a few psychic evolvers. I got a few psychic crystals and gave them to the four guardians under my command..." Niu Gegege said with a bitter smile: "Facts have proved that none of them can Refining psychic crystals.”

Zhao Hao was half-convinced that his five psychic genes were indeed obtained by chance. Even he himself did not understand why Sister Lu wanted to instill White Deer Essence in his body. What he doubted was that if psychic genes could only be obtained through chance encounters, then the road to evolution would be too cruel for most people. Even if they were given psychic crystals for free, they would not be able to cross that hurdle.

"Here, this is my last psychic crystal." Niu Gegege took out a crystal and handed it over, saying, "You can ask your girlfriend to refine it to verify whether there is any deviation in my statement."

Zhao Hao took the crystal and immediately felt that the energy contained in it was extraordinary and could not be compared to the mutant crystal.

"I can understand your feelings. To be honest, my original plan was to cultivate four guardians. After I ascend, they can take over the neutral land. Unfortunately, this world is more cruel than I imagined. I was once like You are equally disappointed." Niu Gegege sighed softly, with a sense of loneliness in his eyes, and his sigh coincided with Zhao Hao's thoughts.

After a pause, he said with great emotion: "We are a special category. I don't know whether this is luck or misfortune. As far as I know, there are only three evolvers with psychic genes within tens of thousands of miles around here. One. It’s me, one is the boss lady of Ice and Snow Castle, and the third one is you.”

Zhao Hao was speechless. Although he was not the only person with the psychic gene, he was one of the few in the world. This made him unhappy. If he had a choice, he hoped that people who were closely related to him, such as Xuewei and Qin Sheng, could possess psychic genes.

At this moment, another mystery in his mind was solved.

When he was at the Ping An Inn, when he heard Zhao Hao talk about monsters, Mr. Zhuang seemed to have been given a shot of blood and immediately took him to see the proprietress. The landlady was still wearing a nightgown in her boudoir to seduce him. At that time, Zhao Hao couldn't understand what the other party was doing, but now he completely understood.

It is obvious that the proprietress is eager to hunt monsters to increase her psychic genes, and she will not let go of any information about monsters. Like Niu GeGe, she is a ruthless character who is holding back her energy to plan for psychic ascension.

"I said you and I are on the same page, and I'm not just lying. No matter which way you got the psychic gene, I don't think you would choose to ascend when the mutant gene is at full value, right?" Niu Ge Pigeon said suddenly.

Zhao Hao was speechless. He understood the meaning of the sentence in the preface of the Chaos Sutra: "Psychic ascension is the right path." He had indeed canceled his plan to ascend. He had to have his psychic genes at full value.
