The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

"No wonder it requires the vine spell as a prerequisite; this is essentially an enhanced version of the vine spell."

He absorbed the information related to the "Seed of Life," and his eyes brightened.

When Han Ning came to his senses, he realized that after leveling up to level 7, killing these black snakes only gave him 1 point of experience, and some of the smaller black snakes gave him no experience at all.

"We've lost our experience. It seems we've wiped out most of these ordinary black snakes. From now on, we'll only be able to kill elite black snakes or black snake leaders. Snowcake, let's go back."

Back in the Yung Valley Business District, Han Ning noticed a sense of oppression permeating the office area on the third floor of the office building.

In the flickering candlelight, Chairman Wu was squatting in a corner, sighing at the three young people lying side by side on the ground.

The Awakened Ones nearby also looked somber.

Hearing footsteps, Chairman Wu looked up and saw Han Ning. He forced a smile.

"Mr. Han, you're back."

Han Ning nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the group of people.

Some of their skin was an abnormal bluish-gray, indicating that they had been dead for some time.

"What happened?" Han Ning asked casually.

Chairman Wu sighed heavily, his voice weary:

"It was a few brothers who had just awakened not long ago. This afternoon, Lao Zhao led a team back to the outskirts of the resort, trying to seize some supplies, but they were attacked by a small group of black snake monsters."

"They were inexperienced and incompetent, and they charged too aggressively, getting sprayed directly by the venom... and couldn't be saved."

Chairman Wu didn't continue speaking, but just sighed heavily again.

It's very random for ordinary people to become Awakened. Perhaps at some point, a sudden surge of emotion can awaken some ability. So, people in the team become Awakened from time to time, but none of them are very strong.

Han Ning responded with an "Oh," his face expressionless.

Life and death are predestined, and there's nothing he can do to help with that for the time being.

Perhaps the jade-colored potatoes produced by his own family could help them improve their physical strength, but there weren't enough for his two subordinates.

There's no share left to give to others.

We can only expand the scale after a period of time.

"How large is the snake swarm over there?" Han Ning continued to ask.

"Not as many as I imagined. There were a few large, powerful snakes, but we didn't get too close. We killed some black snakes on the outside."

"The snakes knocked down a lot of the resort's walls, but the main building doesn't seem to have been affected much," Vice President Zhao replied.

"understood."

Han Ning nodded and walked straight to the area occupied by his team next door.

In the corner, Xu Ming, Professor Ye, Yu Na, and Xu Yinyin sat in a circle.

A small pile of food was spread out on the ground in the middle.

A few packs of compressed biscuits, a few packets of instant noodles, a few jade-colored potatoes, and a few bottles of water.

The four of them just watched helplessly, and none of them made a move.

Upon hearing Han Ning's footsteps, Xu Ming was the first to look up, his eyes lighting up:

"Boss, you're back!"

He pointed to the food on the ground, "It's waiting for you to eat. I left in a hurry yesterday, so I just grabbed this little bit of food. It's only enough for one meal."

During the day, everyone was busy repairing boats and tending to crops, so they had no time to look for food.

Han Ning picked up a pack of compressed biscuits and a bottle of water.

"You can divide the rest among yourselves." He took a bite of the dry, hard biscuit and swallowed some water.

"Tomorrow morning, Lao Xu, you and I will go to Biyun Resort to retrieve the lost supplies."

Vice President Zhao and others had already gone there in the afternoon, which meant that the leader of the four-armed black snake monster was not nearby.

The remaining black serpent monsters were all small Karami.

Xu Ming and Professor Ye's physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, allowing them to barely keep up with the pace of the awakened ones.

Han Ning planned to take them along to kill some monsters and gain some energy.

To avoid becoming a burden in case of an accident.

After saying that, he went straight to his corner, leaned against the wall, and began to ponder how to use the Seed of Life.

There will be three more chapters tonight.

Chapter 113 The Choice of Plant Spirits

It condenses the seed of life, and its core is similar to that of fusing beast spirits.

One needs to find an extraordinary plant that resonates with one's own earth druidic nature and integrate the "spirit of the plant" contained within it into one's body.

The difference is that the Seed of Life is not a form transformation like a metamorphosis.

It's more like raising a child.

Once successfully condensed, the seed will connect with his life essence and become part of his body, like having an extra "organ".

Nourish it with the power of life every day, and this seed of life will gradually grow into its complete form.

For example, if you choose a tree-like plant, you should use your own life force to cultivate it from the seed stage.

Gradually nurture it to sprout, sprout, and eventually grow into a towering tree.

It is worth mentioning that the extraordinary crops that sprout from the seed of life have no physical form; they are entirely energy.

In its final form, it can be seen as a Druid's "Law of Heaven and Earth".

It can be released at any time, whether in human form or shapeshifting form.

The Seed of Life will grant him the ability to manipulate the characteristics of corresponding plants and will become the core of all his plant-based skills.

Of course, there is no single type of Seed of Life; multiple types and attributes can be selected.

At this initial stage, only one type of plant can be selected.

"Just like communicating with beast spirits, you must first communicate with the earth..."

Han Ning walked outside the office building, getting soaked in the heavy rain, and slowly stretched out his hands, palms down, pressing them into the slippery mud.

hum~

A vibrant green light shone from the palm of his hand, seeping into the earth.

As spiritual power spreads, natural energy is injected.

Han Ning's perception was elevated and extended to an infinite degree.

The world before my eyes was plunged into a chaotic darkness.

In this darkness, little by little, bright or soft, different colored dots of light, like stars in the night sky, lit up one after another.

Unlike beast spirits, their panels do not display their corresponding levels.

These points of light have no hierarchy, but rather radiate a pure and boundless vitality, as well as energy fluctuations of different attributes.

Fire, water, earth... these three attributes are the most numerous.

They come in various shapes and sizes, each a miniature plant of light and shadow, silently suspended in the darkness.

Han Ning's spirit swept over these plant spirits that had responded to the will of nature and revealed their existence to him.

Some are a blazing, lava-like light and shadow, resembling a burning coral, entirely crimson, with twisted branches and golden lava patterns flowing across its surface.

Its aura is scorching and explosive, carrying a fiery intensity.

Perhaps it is some kind of strange plant that can survive in magma or high-temperature areas.

Some of them have silvery-white electric arcs jumping across their surfaces, resembling a giant kelp with long, narrow leaves and serrated edges. They are covered with unstable silvery-white electric light and crackling sounds.

His body was crackling with violent lightning power.

Further into the distance, a cloud of light and shadow, shrouded in a dark green poisonous mist, floated, resembling a fleshy mushroom.

A thick, dark green liquid was dripping continuously from under the umbrella, which looked very eerie.

It gives people a gloomy feeling.

Behind the mushrooms, a small sapling appeared, shimmering with a warm, earthy yellow light.

Its branches and leaves are sparse, but the branches look very flexible, and its roots are gnarled and twisted, deeply embedded in the darkness.

Its vitality is profound and enduring, carrying the embrace of the earth.

In the depths of the water directly ahead, a shimmering white seaweed floats gracefully.

The leaves are long and slender like ribbons, crystal clear, and surrounded by a soft milky white halo.

The vitality is pure and gentle, echoing with the nourishing and purifying power of the flowing water.

Near the water beneath my feet, there was a cluster of thorny shadows shimmering with a cold, eerie blue light.

Sharp ice spikes covered every branch, and the leaves were like tiny ice crystals, with a deep blue, multifaceted frost core at its center.

The air was filled with a chilling aura, as if it had the power to freeze everything.

Han Ning immediately noticed these plants that were teeming with life.

They can be clearly categorized into fire, poison or darkness, earth, water, ice, etc.

……

The number of light spots increased, becoming more and more colorful and displaying a variety of properties.

It exhibits characteristics that can be either violent, gentle, profound, or swift.

Each one represents a unique direction of plant evolution, a distinct force of nature.

Han Ning's mind raced through the light and shadow, lost in thought.

What he urgently needs right now is the ability to adapt to this boundless water and even to fight using the aquatic environment.
