He didn't pursue absolute strength, as long as he could survive. Since that was the case, he didn't need this kind of Heaven and Earth treasure.
But now there was Xiong Ye.
Xiong Ye was considered strong in the tribe, but if he went out …
There was a type of dinosaur called the Seismosaurus. It seemed to be … forty to fifty meters long and weighed forty to fifty tons?
If these dinosaurs ate more plants that contained energy and mutated, they might even weigh more than a hundred tons?
Even if his mammoth was the largest mammal on land, it could not compare to the Seismosaurus, let alone Xiong Ye.
Of course, especially large dinosaurs like the Seismosaurus were plant-eating dinosaurs and would not hurt people for no reason. Those carnivorous dinosaurs were actually smaller.
But even if they were smaller, those carnivorous dinosaurs were still very lethal. Zhou Ji did not want Xiong Ye to get hurt, or even … lose his life.
Zhou Ji's body automatically absorbed the energy around him while he used his mental strength to observe the situation in the cave.
The centipedes in the cave were all tangled together. The smaller ones were not allowed to get close to the plant, while the larger ones were closer to the plant.
He frowned and was thinking about how to get the plant when he suddenly saw a giant centipede, at least ten meters long, crawl out from the leaves of a nearby tree.
Zhou Ji scanned it with his mental strength and found that this centipede-like creature was, in fact, a millipede.
Millipedes were also called millipedes, invertebrates of the class Multipoda. These insects liked damp and dark places, liked to live in groups, and usually ate humus. When they were startled, their bodies would curl into plates or spirals.
The largest millipedes that existed on Earth before the apocalypse were only a few centimeters long. Some of them could spit out poisonous liquids, but most were harmless.
These giant millipedes looked rather gentle, and they probably weren't very intelligent. Zhou Ji actually didn't hide himself, but these millipedes all ignored him.
The giant millipede slowly entered the pool and swam towards the crevice. At the same time, the other millipedes crawled out of the crevice and crawled into the surrounding forest.
This scene made one's scalp go numb.
Soon, all the millipedes in the crevice were gone. They crawled under the leaves nearby. Then, the giant millipede walked into the cave and slept beside the plant.
This crack should be the giant millipede's territory. As for the other millipedes, they had probably taken advantage of the fact that the giant millipede had gone out to look for food to gain energy. Now that the giant millipede had returned, they had left.
Previously, Zhou Ji had been worried about how to get that plant, but now he had a way.
The crack in the stone was narrow enough for a human to enter. The long and flat Milliped could enter, but he couldn't in his beast form. It was impossible for him to steal it in beast form. As for taking it in human form … He felt that his human form was too weak compared to Milliped's.
Fortunately, he had spiritual power.
Zhou Ji's mental power approached the giant millipede and tried to control it.
There was something similar to a Crystal Core in a Beastman's body. It was round and smooth, and contained a lot of energy. At least, it was a lot more energy than Zhou Ji's body.
However, Milliped, who should have been an expert in Zhou Ji's eyes, was easily controlled by Zhou Ji.
It could only be said that while this millipede's body was big, its brain capacity was too small, and its intelligence was too low …
After Zhou Ji controlled the millipede, he guided it to dig out the plant with its mouth. Then, he had the millipede bring the plant out of the cave and give it to him.
He didn't want to fight or kill. He wanted to use a gentler method to take the plant away.
In the future, these millipedes might not have such rich energy to enjoy, but at least they could live well.
Zhou Ji's plan was good, but something still went wrong. After he took the plant, he found that the energy in the plant was dissipating, and it was about to wither.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen. Shocked, he used his Plant Arcana without thinking, wanting to save the plant.
The Plant Ability was useful. After absorbing his Plant Arcana, the energy in the plant no longer dissipated. It even attracted a lot of energy and began to grow slowly.
Zhou Ji was pleasantly surprised, but also helpless. Once he stopped using his Plant Ability, the plant would start to wither!
And this was probably his fault … when the millipede dug at the plant, it had cut off part of the plant's roots.
If it were any other plant, cutting off its roots wouldn't be a big problem, but this plant clearly couldn't.
As for the reason … Zhou Ji discovered helplessly that a lot of the energy in the surroundings was coming from underground.
This stalk of grass might have grown by attaching itself to something that contained energy underground …
Zhou Ji could only continue using his Plant Ability.
With Zhou Ji's current strength, it was a matter of minutes to grow a plant. It was very fast, but the plant in his hands wasn't easy to grow.
His Esper Ability quickly entered the body of the plant, but the plant only grew a little!
Zhou Ji could only use more of his Ability.
But even so, the plant didn't grow much.
If he had grown a ginseng, he might have gotten a hundred-year-old ginseng by now. But now, this plant didn't even bear any fruit!
But in the current situation, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Zhou Ji's Ability was quickly running out, but the plant still hadn't matured. When his Ability couldn't keep up, it looked like it was about to wither.
Zhou Ji could only use the accumulated energy in his body to absorb the abundant energy in the surroundings to recover his Ability and continue to feed the plant. But this way, he couldn't care about the millipede he was controlling.
The millipede almost instantly broke free from his control and pounced at him.
Zhou Ji could stomp many modern millipedes to death with a single stomp, but such a big millipede … The shell on its back was like a sharp blade, and its mouth looked very ferocious. It could tear him apart at any moment.
Zhou Ji was speechless.
As an insect, the millipede had very low intelligence, but that didn't mean it didn't have a brain. In the current situation, no matter how stupid it was, it still hated Zhou Ji.
Seeing that he was about to be pounced on by the millipede, Zhou Ji threw the plant in his hands into the air and locked onto its position with his mental power. Then, he immediately turned into his beast form and caught the plant with his nose.
His human form was too weak, and couldn't withstand the attacks of the ten-meter-long millipede at all. Only his beast form could withstand it.
Zhou Ji broke into a run, and the millipede was shocked. It chased after him.
His four legs couldn't outrun the millipede. How many legs did it have? Even if he could make sharp turns, at least he wasn't caught by the millipede. Zhou Ji ran with all his might.
But he was being chased by a giant millipede, and he still had to take care of the plant. Once his Ability ran out, the plant he was holding with his nose would wither!
Using his nose to use his Ability was a very unique feeling.
The trees around him were too dense. Zhou Ji's human form had no problem moving through them, but his beast form couldn't pass through at all. He couldn't escape into the forest, and could only run near the pool to avoid the millipede's attacks.
His beast form was very large, and the millipede was long, but flat. There was a chance he could be stomped to death, but Zhou Ji had a mental barrier about killing something like that.
It wasn't exactly a mental barrier … The giant mammoth's eyes turned red when his Plant and Spirit powers were almost exhausted …
Fortunately, at that moment, the fruit of the plant that didn't have any special reaction to absorbing Ability turned red.
The plant had ripened! Finally, he didn't need Ability anymore!
The moment the plant ripened, all the energy in the surroundings was attracted to it.
At the same time, the fruit that had been the size of a strawberry grew to the size of an apple, and became abnormally red.
The moment it grew, the abnormally dense energy in the surroundings was all absorbed by it. The surrounding trees also became listless, but it still looked very tempting. When Zhou Ji saw the fruit, he couldn't wait to eat it.
And he wasn't the only one who felt this way.
The giant millipede chasing him suddenly went berserk. At the same time, many millipedes jumped out from the surrounding leaves.
All the millipedes Zhou Ji had seen before, regardless of their size, surged towards him. They were obviously after the fruit.
Even though Zhou Ji had transformed into his beast form, he still felt like he couldn't handle so many millipedes. There were a few wounds on the elephant's leg. Not to mention that he had used up both his special ability and his spiritual power.
Zhou Ji's eyes turned red again. He had a bad feeling.
The apocalypse was a place that could drive people crazy.
Zombies weren't humans anymore, but they had the appearance of humans. After killing so many and living in such a pressuring environment, some people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between humans and zombies. They would start attacking everything around them in despair, and in the end, die of exhaustion.
As a psychic Esper, he was not in such a state at first. He was even able to comfort those who had such problems. However, when all the humans died, he had no food, no clean water, and no one to talk to … In endless despair, he gave up on treatment. Sometimes, in order to vent, he allowed himself to turn on the Massacre Mode.
After activating this mode many times, he had gotten used to it. At that time, he wanted to kill all the zombies.
In this Massacre Mode, his abilities in all aspects would be greatly improved, but he would also be unable to recognize anyone.
There was no one else in the later stages of the apocalypse. It was fine for him to do this, but in this place …
After coming to this world, he was afraid that he would suddenly enter this mode, and he might as well stop killing. Now … Zhou Ji had a bad feeling.
It had only been two months since he'd transmigrated. He hadn't adjusted his condition, and he hadn't cured his mental and psychological problems. He was really going to go crazy …
When it rained, it just so happened that the fruit on the plant that he was holding with his nose actually fell off!
The stem of the plant he was holding with his nose instantly withered, and the fruit fell.
In order to avoid the millipedes, Zhou Ji had raised his long nose high. Now that the fruit was falling, he instinctively rushed out and caught it with his mouth.
A warm current appeared in his mouth, and the fruit melted into water in his mouth.
Zhou Ji: "…"
He'd spent so much effort just to get a wedding present for Xiong Ye, and it was gone just like that?!
Not only was the wedding present gone, he was also surrounded by a large group of millipedes!
Although these terrifying creatures were vegetarians, they might eat meat when they were angry.
Zhou Ji felt extremely helpless.
Fortunately, after eating the fruit, his physical strength and mental strength began to recover rapidly, and he almost immediately recovered to his best state. Realizing this, Zhou Ji turned into his human form in a flash and ran toward the forest. He used his mental strength and plant ability to climb to the top of the tree, and then started running on the top of the tree.
The group of millipedes behind him started to catch up, but they gradually fell behind. These insects' vision and sense of smell were obviously not that good.
After running for an hour, even the giant millipede had disappeared.
Not only that, he'd even run out of the forest.
Zhou Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and then helplessly realized that he'd lost his clothes.
That wasn't all. When he scanned with his mental power, he saw a millipede jumping out from beside him …
Zhou Ji was shocked, but he quickly realized that this millipede wasn't from the group from before.
The millipedes didn't chase after him.
This millipede didn't intend to attack Zhou Ji, but Zhou Ji was traumatized by this millipede … He used a vine to wrap around the two-meter-long "little millipede" and threw it far away. Only then did he feel better. Then, he wrapped himself in leaves and walked into the tribe.
The millipede that had suffered an unexpected misfortune was thrown out of the forest it had lived in since it was young. It didn't think much of it. Instead, it was pleasantly surprised that there was a lot of food it hadn't eaten before, and it dug under the leaves to eat.
As it ate, a group of two-legged animals came, looking just like the ones that were thrown at him earlier.
That wasn't all, but one of them had a scent he liked …
The millipede pounced at that person.
