Reincarnated as A Bamboo

Chapter 24: Another Usage of Spiritual Fluid

The densest area of the thick fog.

Lin Ming's countless root systems allowed him to perceive everything in this valley.

"Lil One and the pack have done well."

Lin Ming sighed after sensing that it took only a short time for four of the group of five to take their final breaths.

Although several gunshots were heard, through Lin Ming's perception, Lil One and the others did not seem to stop moving or move any slower.

This proved that the little guys had not been hurt by those people.

However, the last man standing seemed to be hiding in a spot that could not be attacked by Lil One and the pack. He was still in the forest and was moving at an extremely fast speed.

The direction was not toward him but toward the direction of the group of people who had just come.

"Thinkin' of running away?" Lin Ming sensed the person's trajectory through breath perception.

At the speed of Lil One and the pack, if they could not catch up with this person, and got too persistent, things could get messy if they were ambushed by the other party.

Based on Lil One and the pack's breaths, they had continued to endlessly chase the person down, gradually going beyond the valley.

Boom!!

The earth suddenly rumbled, and a deafening explosion set off a violent shockwave!

Lin Ming was stunned. He felt the strong explosive boom come from the direction of Lil One and the pack!

Before the aftermath of the explosion had died down, Lin Ming also caught a few cries of pain that were only heard when beasts got hurt!

Lil One and the pack were hurt?!

Lin Ming quickly sensed them and discovered that two from Lil One's pack had stopped moving. The remaining five were unceasingly circling the two!

As for the human, he had already taken advantage of the explosion and fled from the valley!

Lin Ming was overcome with anxiety. He ignored the human who had fled for the time being. How badly had Lil One and the pack been injured?

He quickly sensed that the five wolves had picked up the two injured wolves and were now rushing back toward him as fast as they could!

At this time, Lin Ming, who had focused all his attention on the wolves' injuries, was ignoring the sixteen humans who had charged into the valley.

While he had been directing all his attention to the movements of Lil One and the pack, Adorable Little Snake had left his side unbeknownst to him, and was now quickly heading toward the direction of the sixteen humans.

Not long after, Lin Ming sensed that Lil One and the pack had arrived within his Control Range. After a while, they appeared in front of him.

He immediately saw that the two who had gotten hurt were Lil Six and Lil Seven.

They had been carried back by Lil One and Lil Two. Fresh blood gushed out from their wounds, already staining Lil One's and Lil Two's backs.

Lil One and Lil Two gently placed the trembling Lil Six and Lil Seven down, who had been keeping their eyes tightly shut, in front of Lin Ming.

After that, together with the other wolves, they let out low whimper-like hums.

They were all seated in front of Lin Ming with their heads hung low, as though they were begging.

Even if they had not acted that way, Lin Ming would never abandon Lil Six and Lil Seven.

Looking at Lil Six and Lil Seven who were on the verge of death, Lin Ming extended his bamboo branches out and gently lifted them up.

Their abdomens, which had suffered grave injuries from the explosion, bore incredibly terrifying, tearing wounds. Parts of their internal organs were even spilling out.

What was even more shocking was that the two poor little guys were completely covered in shrapnel. Some parts of their fur even showed little sharp horns caught in the fur and skin.

A raging fire erupted in Lin Ming's heart.

'My Lil Six and Lil Seven have been so badly hurt!' he thought.

However, while he was angry, Lin Ming could not help but sigh. Not only did these humans possess spiritual aura, but they also had weapons capable of hurting Lil Six and Lil Seven, who were mutated animals that had reached Rank-1 almost immediately!

It appeared he had underestimated them.

Their level of threat was as his first impression of it had hinted, or perhaps even worse than that.

Lin Ming did not immediately remove the shrapnel with his extremely flexible bamboo branches. Instead, he first placed Lil Six and Lil Seven near the branch which discharged Spiritual Fluid.

Since the Spiritual Fluid could help mutated creatures advance, it must also hold immensely rich and powerful energy within.

However, the system did not specify whether it had injury-healing properties. If a mistake were to be made, it would then be too late for regrets.

Hold on what if this ability could be evolved?

Looking at his personalized dashboard, he saw that he had once again accumulated 100 Evolution Points. Lin Ming wanted to ask the system directly whether the Spiritual Fluid was capable of healing Lil Six and Lil Seven's injuries.

[The Spiritual Fluid ability can be further evolved. It can promote the evolution of mutated creatures and heal certain injuries.]

The voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind. Lin Ming guessed right away that there was a pattern of sorts.

If he thought of something, the system could respond with the corresponding answer.

On the other hand, if he did not contemplate something, the system would simply remain silent.

However, this was not the time to communicate with the system. Lin Ming selected the "Spiritual Fluid" ability, and suddenly arrived at Level-2.

He immediately channeled the Spiritual Fluid to the two little wolves who were already extremely weak.

The Spiritual Fluid, which was rich with spiritual aura and energy, jumped into the mouths of Lil Six and Lil Seven, as though it was alive and capable of movement. Then, it gradually flowed into their bodies.

Lin Ming realized that the wounds on Lil Six and Lil Seven's bodies were progressively healing at a visibly fast pace.

Their initially weak breathing had slowly returned to normal. After a while, they could even stand up again.

After that, all the shrapnel that had pierced deep into their flesh fell to the ground piece by piece, as if they had been ejected from inside the wolf.

Without the shrapnel, they appeared completely restored to health. After shaking the dust off their bodies, they returned to their usual energetic state.

Right at that moment, the seven little wolves lowered themselves to the ground in uniformity and for a while, they lay flat.

Lin Ming thought it was rather interesting. It appeared that the little wolves were thanking him.

Their intelligence seemed to have reached a certain level.

Lin Ming, who felt pleased with this, blamed himself at the same time for getting into this situation in the first place.

If he had not allowed the little wolves to attack the group of five, Lil Six and Lil Seven would not have gotten hurt.

Additionally, he also discovered that he had suffered a huge shortcoming of his own.

His Control Range had become much shorter than his Perception Range.

Presently, he could perceive almost every change that occurred in the valley. Even for little grasshoppers who barely possessed spiritual aura, he was able to exactly pinpoint their location.

However, Lin Ming unfortunately discovered that his maximum Control Range only spanned about three hundred meters.

Three hundred meters also was the farthest distance that his control could be extended to, using his root system. It did not refer to his Razor Leaves, which possessed an effective range of only a hundred meters, and his Bamboo Whip, which possessed a shorter attack range.

It was a huge difference from his Perceptive Ability which could extend up to more than ten kilometers.

If this were not the case, the little wolves would not have had to be sent out at all. He could have easily dealt with the humans alone.

Explosion? Regular heat weapons? Lin Ming did not think that those could do much damage to him.

In his personalized dashboard, there was an 'Ultimate Regeneration' capability, which had yet to be utilized.

Even if the opponent destroyed a section of his root system, he could utilize the Ultimate Regeneration ability to instantly restore it and launch a new round of attacks.

However, it would only be effective against humans within a 300-meter radius Control Range.

"We still need to become stronger."

Lin Ming muttered quietly. All of a sudden, he realized that the Adorable Little Snake, which usually perpetually clung to his branches like a panda, was gone!
