According to Tang Zhen's idea, since he can observe the enemy from the "perspective" of the plants and trees, can he also control some of the behaviors of the plants and trees?
For example, control the big tree under the middle-aged monk's butt, turn the branches into big hands, and directly strangle the middle-aged monk?
This idea seems outrageous, but it may not be impossible.
Originally, among the vegetation in nature, some plants have special abilities to prey on insects or small animals.
Cordyceps and man-eating trees are actually these types of things.
Now that I can connect with the thoughts of plants and trees, I can completely use my thoughts to control the movements of plants, and I should be able to achieve better control effects.
How can the simple thinking of plants be compared with humans? Even if they have that ability, they can't figure out how to do it.
Of course, there will definitely be great limitations in the process of control. After all, he is controlling a plant, not a human being, and many of the expected actions may not be possible.
Each creature has its own characteristics. Forcibly applying the habits of one creature to another is completely difficult, or even completely unfeasible.
But Tang Zhen didn't care, he just wanted to give it a try. If it was possible, then he would become very relaxed.
Tang Zhen thought of this, sat cross-legged on the ground, and then tried it according to his own ideas.
The first object he controlled was an ordinary weed beside him, which was found everywhere in the forest.
The moment thoughts replaced the weeds, a special feeling emerged spontaneously, making Tang Zhen slightly stunned.
The thinking perspective of plants is completely different from that of humans. If you have the opportunity to experience it, it will definitely be a very novel feeling.
Tang Zhen, who had replaced Xiaocao's thinking, felt that he had become simpler. There was only one simple thought left in his mind, which was to continue to grow and reproduce.
Fortunately, this thought only appeared for a moment and then disappeared completely. Obviously, the power of this thought was too weak and could not compete with Tang Zhen's thoughts.
Tang Zhen secretly sighed in his heart. Sure enough, plants and trees also have feelings, but they are just so humble and insignificant that no one noticed them at all.
Then he controlled Xiaocao and made some expected actions, but the effect was far from ideal.
The humble and ordinary grass, even if it possesses a human soul, cannot make certain actions that it is destined to be unable to make.
Just like fish cannot leave the water and birds cannot fly without wings, the same is true for grass.
After trying for a long time, Tang Zhen's only achievement was to make the grass sway continuously as if having a convulsion.
This result was not bad, but it was far from satisfying Tang Zhen.
"Am I wrong in thinking that vegetation cannot be controlled by anyone at all? Or maybe I chose the wrong plant and should replace it with more advanced plants?"
Thinking of this, Tang Zhen was about to try to exit Xiaocao's body and continue to look for the subject of the manipulation experiment.
As a result, just when he was about to quit, an idea flashed in his mind, and he made a new attempt.
Plants can absorb nutrients for their own growth, so can you start from this aspect and make some changes?
Tang Zhen thought of this and immediately controlled the grass and began to absorb the nutrients from the soil.
Under normal circumstances, the absorption of nutrients from plants is a subconscious behavior, and it is not like humans who actively eat to supplement their body needs.
The grass itself does not have the ability to absorb nutrients quickly, but with Tang Zhen's intervention, it has such an ability.
When this ability was activated, Tang Zhen immediately felt a huge change in Xiaocao. There seemed to be a steady stream of energy-like things pouring into his body, making him feel comfortable and wanted to shout loudly.
Affected by this energy, the grass's body grows taller and thicker, and its roots begin to extend underground, trying to absorb more energy.
In Xiaocao's originally simple thoughts, a desire suddenly appeared, a pure and greedy desire to obtain more energy.
Because it knows very well how beneficial this is to itself.
The more energy it absorbs, the richer the grass's thinking becomes, and it soon becomes exactly like those big trees.
In just a short period of time, this ordinary grass has grown to more than one meter tall, and it seems to be continuing to grow.
This growth rate is too abnormal, and it is obviously due to the absorption of a large amount of energy from heaven and earth, which led to the sudden occurrence of such changes.
Tang Zhen felt extremely excited. This situation was enough to prove that his idea was successful. Xiaocao had begun some kind of evolution by absorbing energy.
The evolved grass will become easier to control and can also make some actions that were impossible for the grass to do originally.
For example, Tang Zhen tried to control Xiaocao to bend down and sweep, but he couldn't do it successfully. It seemed that if he did that, Xiaocao would break directly at the waist.
Even if the grass is flexible, it is impossible for it to withstand such extreme movements. After all, it is just a plant and not a living thing.
But at this moment, as Tang Zhen's thoughts arose, Xiaocao completed this difficult action with ease.
The seemingly brittle branches and leaves of the grass were actually as sharp as a knife, easily cutting off a nearby small tree as thick as a wrist.
As for the grass itself, it was not damaged at all.
The test results made Tang Zhen both surprised and happy. At the same time, he was also thinking deeply. Since an ordinary weed has become so powerful after evolution, how powerful will human beings, the spirit of all things, become after evolution?
to what extent?
If possible, should you try it yourself?
Faced with this huge temptation, Tang Zhen couldn't help but hesitate. He wanted to gain great strength, but he was also afraid of suffering some terrible mutations.
Evolution must pay a corresponding price. If there is no change itself, there will naturally be no evolution.
For example, the grass under my control is now incompatible with its original population, or it has become another special species entirely.
If Tang Zhen wants to evolve, he will inevitably have a corresponding state that makes him incompatible with normal humans.
When he thought that he would become an alien and completely separate from his original race, Tang Zhen felt an inexplicable feeling of fear and resistance in his heart.
"In order to gain great power, you have to become a monster in the eyes of your own kind. Is this price worth it?"
While Tang Zhen was struggling, there was a faint thought in his heart that told him that this was a rare opportunity and he should not miss it easily, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.
But there was another thought that reminded him not to do this, because it was an extremely dangerous path.
The cost of evolution is extremely high, and every time it is a narrow escape, if you really choose the path of evolution, you will most likely destroy yourself.
Tang Zhen didn't know what choice he should make, but he knew that this choice was related to his future life. If he made the wrong choice, he would endure unimaginable suffering, and death might be the easiest outcome.
At this time, Tang Zhen was faced with a difficult choice. He did not know his original identity and was facing a huge crisis.
If he could think about these issues from the perspective of the Creator, he would find that the choice he faces at this time is actually a huge trap.
