Chapter 161: The Birth of the Meat Dragon

Since now there was nothing left but waiting, he should focus on modifying a new meat-storing dragon species.

This time, because the dynasty reigning over the entire planet was the strongest, even if accidents occurred, relying on the old-era power that had not yet perished completely, the situation should still be controllable.

Baichuan thought as much, then he no longer hesitated—his target was still rabbits.

After all, rabbits as a creature had a fairly strong base template, especially suitable.

Only this time his modification did not include the previous Judahua LV3 (Banzhu), but rather Ju Da Hua LV2, which was derived from the Fanchuayu's ability.

Because Baichuan now also understood that sometimes these abilities might still carry the Characteristic of the ability's original host.

Therefore, to ensure this newborn species had absolutely no ability to damage the environment, the ability chosen for it definitely could not be something like an ecological Banzhu.

What he needed was a harmless, unintelligent, weak bottom-tier species that only knew how to eat and Cunchu energy.

Besides that, Baichuan also added Guanghe Zuoyong LV2 to it, which was the ability he had previously obtained from the green leaf sea slug.

It was also the source of his confidence in modifying a perfect species that sat at the bottom of the food chain yet possessed massive energy.

Because only the existence of this ability could prevent the newborn species from eating all the plants on the continent into extinction due to its massive size—this ability paired with eating grass was simply perfect!

Because eating grass itself already meant ingesting large amounts of chlorophyll, and this ability itself required chlorophyll as its engine to drive it.

Moreover, this ability would simultaneously cause the host's evolved regions for this ability to become fragile, nearly lacking the protection of thick skin.

In this way, it would not become overly powerful due to its massive size, resulting in having no natural predators.

Because its weakness was too obvious—any predator, as long as it discovered the weakness, could easily target it.

Therefore, Baichuan directly maxed out the evolution range of this ability to cover the creature species' back and sides.

Finally, Baichuan also added Minjie LV1 and Cunchu LV2 to it, allowing it the possibility to flee, while also being able to Cunchu the surplus energy from Photosynthesis.

In this way, even after they died, the massive energy they had absorbed from sunlight and stored could still contribute, nourishing the earth and all kinds of plants.

Under the nourishment of such high-energy flesh and blood, the mutation of plants might also be indirectly achieved.

At this point, Baichuan had perfectly matched all the abilities he currently had stored, and with the aid of his own endless computing power to calculate, he no longer found any obvious flaws.

At this point, a foundational species for the new era was complete!

Then, he needed to name this newborn species.

Baichuan silently thought as he watched this species that had already begun evolving into an eggshell-like form—he did not plan to use the name of the previous failed species.

After pondering for a long Time, Baichuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration as he looked at the green grass on the ground.

In that case, then he would call them—

Meat Dragon!

A low-tier species that specifically ate grass to activate Photosynthesis.

……

Time quietly slipped away like this, and soon half a month had passed.

Accompanied by the sound of a shell-shedding breaking, this newborn species completely descended into Ren Jian.

Unlike the previous failed species that could walk on all fours as well as stand on two legs, this newborn species, because the range evolved by the Photosynthesis ability was too vast, could only walk on all fours and could never stand up again.

Looking at the Meat Dragon that, as soon as it emerged, began eating grass due to hunger, but after eating only a little stopped and quietly lay on the ground basking in the sun.

Baichuan finally smiled with satisfaction—this meant his original conception had not gone wrong again, but he still could not be too careless and complacent, and observation of this newborn species needed to continue.

At this point, half a month's Time quickly passed.

And at this moment, the Meat Dragon species finally was no longer just the original two, but had expanded to over thirty—this was still because they were preyed upon by too many predators due to their size and weakness.

And at this moment, the original few had already reached a body length of four meters, while their offspring, once grown, also had a body length of around three meters.

However, Baichuan knew this was already the limit they could reach; if they wanted to continue growing from here on, perhaps they could only rely on living a long Time and grinding their body size up through the Zhongchang ability.

Otherwise, this was their limit.

Most importantly, these Meat Dragon did not have a very large demand for plants—compared to constantly eating grass, they preferred to finish eating grass and then lazily lie on the grass basking in the sun, feeling the warmth from the sun.

Regarding this point, Baichuan deeply empathized—lazily lying down basking in the sun, streams of comfortable warmth would flow through the entire body, and that feeling was indeed very pleasant.

Therefore, in fact, many times Meat Dragon were hunted because they lay on the grass basking in the sun too comfortably, thereby forgetting to stay alert to their surroundings.

Of course, what Baichuan was most concerned about was whether, after these dragons died, the existence of their corpses had any effect on plants.

He had also made this clear, and to know this he had even actively accelerated the activity of various microorganisms.

The answer was that there was an effect—where the corpses of these dragons lay after death, the plants would grow faster and have more vibrant colors and luster than other places.

At this point, Baichuan's attention to this species could be considered concluded—the foundational species of the new era, the Meat Dragon, had finally succeeded.

It took a full month in total, and of course, the current success was naturally also due to the experience gained from previous failures.

Then, he should go take a look at that previous "lucky one," and let him truly understand what secret the former Great Zhou had left behind.

Thinking of this, the lightning once again flashed across the dragon's slender body, and then it vanished into the horizon.

Meanwhile, Ergou's current life had become somewhat enriched.

First, his appetite greatly increased, and he began to frantically eat and drink, causing the relatives and friends around him to exclaim in astonishment, and then his body began to grow strong as if inflated.

The massive stones he once could not lift, now he could easily pull up with all his strength; the high walls he could not jump onto in the past, now he could leap over with a little push.

The tremendous changes that appeared in this short period of Time also attracted the attention of a large number of people for a time.

Even some martial artists of Great Qin came to curiously inspect, but after a series of examinations, they could only conclude that he was a youth still growing, and as he grew his body opened up and he gained divine strength.

Now, he alone, relying on this innate constitution, could reach the former martial artist's Three Limits—this was an extremely exaggerated notion!

In response, those martial artists who came to inspect were also somewhat envious; sometimes the gap between people was truly worlds apart, but at the same time they also gave Ergou a suggestion: whether he would join the Great Qin army.

Because with his current constitution, and being near the age of coming of age, coupled with the increasingly declining strength of martial artists today, perhaps this youth could rely on this divine strength to be put to important use within the army.

Although it was merely a suggestion, from this moment on, everyone knew the Wang family's boy had made something of himself.

This was naturally because a large number of cells within Wang Ergou's body had become the Light Point power from Baichuan; even though the main purpose of these Light Points was to replace the host's nerve cells, the energy they absorbed alone, as long as a little leaked out, could make him nutritionally充足 and grow strong.

The growing strong physique, combined with the greatly increased strength Baichuan intentionally left behind, created a youth who was a born prodigy.

However, at this moment Ergou was somewhat troubled, because recently, whenever he fell asleep, for some unknown reason he would always dream a special dream—it was a scene of certain ruins at the very center of an empty, deserted city.

In this dream, there had always been a mysterious voice calling out to him, urging him to go there.

At the same time, his body would also strangely start to move; sometimes he was lying in bed before falling asleep, yet upon waking he would find himself lying in the great courtyard of the house…
