Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 329 The Laws of Evolution

"The smell of blood is getting stronger; we must be almost there."

Cang Nian muttered to himself.

As he swam, he changed his path by using the stronger smell of blood as a guide.

"Could it be that something like the mutated fruits of pine and ginkgo trees have ripened?"

Are there even rare cases of plants on the ocean floor that produce mutated fruits?

After traveling approximately fifty kilometers, Cang Nian became somewhat suspicious.

Based on the way the smell of blood travels in the ocean, it shouldn't be able to travel that far.

Even before the revival of spiritual energy, sharks, the ocean's most renowned olfactory creatures, could only detect the smell of blood a few kilometers away at most.

Even though the evolved sharks have a more sensitive sense of smell after the revival of spiritual energy, the range of their scent in the ocean is far less than that on land due to the dilution effect of seawater.

Thinking of this, Cangnian became excited.

If it really is a pine tree or a ginkgo tree, then that's an excellent opportunity!

The pine tree's transformation into pine nuts, resulting in "precocious intelligence," and the ginkgo tree's transformation into ginkgo fruit, resulting in "lung-golden sword energy," are among the key factors contributing to his current strength.

If there were another mutated fruit with a different amplification effect, consuming it would truly make me stronger!

"However... it's impossible that I'm the only evolved being who has noticed something that could spread this far."

There might even be a chaotic battle... Although I am very strong, there are terrifying beings like the Great White Lion in the ocean, so I can't be careless."

Then, Cangnian suppressed his excitement and muttered to himself.

To be honest, even now, I still don't know the specific evolutionary level of Big White, or what its special ability is.

All that is known is that, with its colossal size and absolute strength, it can kill third-tier evolved creatures as easily as eating and drinking.

Therefore, even with an unparalleled burst of power among his peers, Cangnian could not guarantee that he could defeat Da Bai.

While the existence of something as terrifying as Baymax may have been a chance occurrence, it is unlikely to be the only one of its kind globally.

Therefore, Cang Nian has always held the vast ocean in awe.

No one knows whether, in this dim, vast ocean, a being with overwhelming power will suddenly emerge the next second.

However, this does not make him afraid when he encounters an opportunity.

Theoretically speaking, third-order evolved organisms are no longer rare in the ocean at this stage, but traveling more than 500 kilometers along the eastern coastline of the peninsula is already a considerable area.

So far, only the Great White is suspected to be a fourth-order evolved creature. Cang Nian has not seen any others. The others are likely fourth-order beings.

To evolve to a higher level, aside from someone like the abbot of Chanlan Temple who had cultivated for many years before the spiritual energy revival and entered the third rank overnight.

They can only rely on natural resources and plunder from other evolved organisms.

At this stage, to advance to the fourth tier, you either need to eat enough third-tier evolution meat or fourth-tier evolution meat.

Each advancement requires plundering from creatures of the same or higher evolutionary level.

Therefore, barring extremely special circumstances, the most powerful evolved creature at this stage is at most a fourth-order creature.

Because there aren't enough fourth-order evolved creatures to support the birth of a fifth-order evolved creature.

Of course, if a fourth-order evolved creature can accurately locate all possible fourth-order evolved creatures in the world within a few days and kill and devour them all, it might be able to accumulate enough resources to break through to the fifth order.

But clearly, there isn't such a terrifying existence right now, otherwise, Big White would have been killed.

Therefore, even the top marine creatures that have been abundant in resources and have huge appetites since the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, and can eat as much as they can, are at most fourth-tier.

My current evolution level has reached the late stage of the third tier, and with the blessing of the mountain god's power, I can be considered a pseudo-fourth tier.

With the addition of the system and top-tier superpowers, even a true fourth-order evolved creature might not be unable to put up a fight.

At worst, if he can't beat us, he can still run away.

With the skill of entering the water, his speed in the seawater far surpasses that of most evolved creatures!

At worst, fly out of the water and use the Wind Tiger skill. Even though the speed is far less than running wildly on land, you can still briefly break the speed of sound!

Therefore, he dares to seize any opportunity!

This is also why he sensed a potential opportunity but didn't go back to call for reinforcements.

If you encounter a powerful opponent, it's easy to escape if you're alone, but if there are other evolved creatures or other people, you might not be able to escape.

Huh~!

Just then, Cangnian felt the surrounding light suddenly dim.

Looking up, I saw a huge creature sweeping past overhead, blocking much of the faint light above, which is why even with my excellent night vision, I felt the light had dimmed.

"This thing is a bit smaller than Big White, but it is still a giant creature at least fifty meters tall."

Were they also attracted by the smell of blood?

Perfect timing, someone can pave the way for me...

Upon noticing the presence of this enormous creature, Cangnian nodded to himself.

Although he has night vision, the seabed is too dark and the visibility is too short, only a few hundred meters.

Even at the bottom of the sea, third-order evolved creatures can easily travel at speeds of one or two hundred kilometers per hour, with a visible range of only a few hundred meters, leaving them with insufficient reaction time.

Thinking of this, Cangnian followed behind the enormous whale-like evolved creature, observing the situation.

Then, after a short while, Cangnian was stunned.

He saw many bones and shells on the seabed!

These bones and shells covered the seabed, as if something had eaten all the flesh from their bodies and piled them up here.

"No... there shouldn't be any powerful evolved plants at this depth!"

Upon seeing this, Cang Nian felt a chill run down his spine and immediately realized the problem.

Although it's not very deep, it's still close to two hundred meters.

At a depth of 200 meters, light can barely penetrate, and even the elderly can only see a faint and dim environment.

In such an environment, no plant that needs sunlight can survive for long.

The buoyancy of seawater allows giant seaweed, which can be hundreds of meters long, to drift around in the ocean, without needing to take root in such a harsh environment.

Phew~!

At that moment, Cangnian heard a sound of water being sucked in.

Turning my head, I saw that the whale-like creature had ignored the carcasses covering the seabed and instead approached a large seashell, opening its mouth to suck something through the cracks.

In the dim light, Cang Nian could see strands of blood-red ribbons being sucked into its mouth.
