Although this wild grapevine has undergone a unique mutation, its evolution is not advanced enough to make it a spiritual plant; it remains an ordinary plant.
Just like the vines that Tiger Dad encountered, although they have offensive power and contain some spiritual energy, they have not yet reached the level of spiritual plants. At most, they can be considered plants with a higher degree of evolution.
Biological evolution does not happen overnight; evolution under big data is often slow and diverse.
Those creatures that can evolve into spirit beasts and spirit plants in the early stages are all those with high talent and great luck. Most ordinary creatures are still at the starting line, and the global spiritual energy revival has only just begun.
It is only because each individual's circumstances and conditions are different that the contrast and obvious differences are formed.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the tiger family and the panda mother and cub seem to be unaffected by the changes in forest vegetation. In reality, this is simply because they have reached a higher level of evolution.
Many of the current changes do not bother or affect them. Not to mention level three spirit beasts, even level one spirit beasts can thrive in the current environment.
After all, spirit beasts are a higher form of life, and in the current environment, they can be considered the strongest creatures, completely overwhelming ordinary creatures.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there were nearly a hundred spirit beasts in the Snow Mountain Secret Realm. If you think about it carefully, those beasts came from countless different areas. Overall, the current number of spirit beasts is still quite small.
Although Lin Qian and the others were unaware of this, they could sense that their power was stronger than that of other creatures.
They can accurately judge whether the creatures they face are threatening. Just like when the tiger father faced the mutated vines, he could instantly determine that the vines could not harm him, so the tiger captured them without any hesitation.
Despite its rugged appearance, Tiger Dad had already made his own judgment and weighed the pros and cons. This was due to his innate instincts and survival experience as a wild animal.
The same is true of the panda mother and cub licking the sap of the vines. They have instinctively determined that this plant will not harm them, so they pick and eat it without restraint, and consciously avoid the flowers and do not touch the sticky parts.
It's not that the mucus can do anything to them; at most, that level of stickiness can only stick to small geckos, and the paralyzing effect has little effect on small animals.
However, having their tongues stuck is still uncomfortable, and licking them too much can cause the tip of their tongues to go numb. So after touching them once, the panda mother and cub stopped touching them and stopped eating the parts with flowers on them.
But usually, insects and small animals like geckos and frogs are attracted by the fragrance of flowers, and nine out of ten of them cannot escape their fate of death.
The mutated vines that Tiger Dad encountered had previously killed many ordinary animals that passed by. Whether it was small animals such as rabbits and weasels, or large animals such as deer and leopards, they could not escape death once they were trapped by the mutated vines.
The mutated vines absorb blood by relying on the tips of their branches and leaves. When the leaf tips pierce the animal's fur, they extend tiny needle-like tentacles that penetrate deep into the animal's flesh and veins, quickly absorbing the animal's blood. The hollow vines can then rapidly digest the absorbed blood and convert it into power.
Plants undergo various mutations, but once they acquire the ability to prey on animals, they will never sit idly by and wait to die.
The plants in the forest have undergone varying degrees of mutation, and naturally, so have those in the city.
The once bustling city has vanished without a trace. The colorful neon lights are gone, the glory is gone, and all that remains is a desolate ruin, with collapsed buildings everywhere you look.
In the drastically altered city, almost all of the important infrastructure was destroyed in the earthquake. Larger cities were even split into several pieces by the newly emerged land, with the ruins no longer able to connect.
Some cities are even separated by rift valleys or surging underground rivers, creating two distinct areas.
Human civilization can be said to have been "returned to the pre-liberation era" in a major earthquake.
Cities with many survivors can still organize manpower to cross the river, which is not too difficult, but the areas split by the broken ground are very difficult to cross.
There aren't many of these fissures, but each one is at least fifty meters wide and extremely deep. The fissures often stretch for hundreds of miles, and without mechanical assistance, it would be very difficult for humans to solve this problem at this stage.
Given this situation, it would take humanity at least several years, or even more than a decade, to restore a certain level of order and basic production before venturing into the mountains and forests.
With such a long period of buffer and growth for wild animals, it's really uncertain who will decide the future of this planet.
The future is uncertain, but it is foreseeable that in the future, it will be difficult for humans to remain the dominant species in the food chain.
Intelligent humans could think of this, but at this moment they were powerless, because survival was the top priority.
They may worry and lament in their spare time, but it's difficult for them to do anything about it.
Humans currently have no interest in the fissures in the ground; their attention is focused on the pristine white snow.
The heavy snow disaster suddenly subsided a few days ago. People looked at the sky, which had been clear for several days, and their faces gradually showed joy. However, there was still some unease in their eyes, fearing that the heavy snow would fall again.
