Moreover, the mutated vine itself absorbs a considerable amount of spiritual energy from sunlight and the earth, enough for it to continue evolving and growing, so Lin Qian felt there was no need to risk absorbing flesh and blood.
After all, the nutrients for plants are mainly sunlight, rainwater, and soil. Although vines have evolved this ability, it is not necessarily a good thing.
After all, the mutated vine itself has no consciousness, and its evolution is likely influenced by external factors in addition to its own potential.
For example, in the initial mutation, it evolved spikes that could paralyze animals. These spikes could prevent animals from eating it and avoid danger. This can be considered an evolution driven by the potential for self-protection.
The current changes are likely due to the energy released during the heavy rain.
Because Lin Qian had used his spiritual sense to communicate with the vine, the vine expressed a mind that it did not like to devour the flesh and blood of animals; it was merely an instinctive attack response.
In other words, it has no desire to consume flesh and blood; this ability is only passively activated when it attacks.
Just like before, it wouldn't attack the tiger dad on its own initiative, but would only launch an attack passively when the tiger dad got close to it.
In this sense, the purple color of the mutated vine's aggressive behavior is a self-protective mechanism, since plants have no consciousness, only instinct.
The speculation that a large amount of energy distorted the evolution of the mutated vines mainly stemmed from the fact that Lin Qian couldn't find that restless aura within the mutated vines, while the mutated vines themselves were unaware of what Lin Qian meant by that restless aura.
Before it had no consciousness, it naturally couldn't perceive anything. But after evolving into a spirit plant, it developed a faint consciousness, but this consciousness was incomplete and was still just a hazy bit.
If that restless energy were still there, it would have devoured the consciousness of the mutated vines, and it would never be as clean and peaceful as it is now.
The restless aura of the heavy rain was something even level three spirit beasts like them couldn't withstand, let alone mutated vines that were only level one spirit plants.
