Chapter 15 - Power up

It has been a 1 week, from my initial departure after eating the corpses, and consuming the magical plants.

By doing so these, he had quite the numerous gains. 

The Alpha wolf, he beaten was a common tier beast, the same tier as him. The system said it was a mutated member of its species, he suspected it probably got mutated by eating a magical plant. 

It was not a coincidence but a prepared plan from it. it attacked the humans, it could likely see mana from the magical plants, thus attacking them. But unfortunately it met him. 

It was F- tier, he was F tier. 

The difference between tiers was shown here, even though he was only a single stage stronger. he defeated numerous other wolves and the Alpha itself, with only a flesh wound. 

The Alpha wolf alone gained him 20 bioenergy, the highest he had seen.

his total gains were as follows. after a week of normal hunting and the consumption of magical plants.

{Bioenergy: 388/500}

{Mana core: 127/300}

He had also ranked up again, He is now an F+ tier. 

He slowly absorbed dozen of magical plants that he got from the researchers. which enabled him to rank up and have excess.

Once he ranked up, he still had some left.

Their were plentiful fauna to hunt here, his goal was to saturate his mana core, to see what would happen, and then evolve. 

He also completed that quest, for the fame points.

{Fame points: 1000/1000}

(Reward: Analyze (E+)}

It basically allowed him to analyze anything, it expended some of his mana, it seems to depend on the item or creature's power on how much his mana drained.

By utilizing this skill, he had found magical plants more easier and faster. I

It seems the amazon rainforest, was also lurking with some danger.

He had seen 3 creatures, that might pose danger to him.

They also occupied a good amount of territories, it seemed that they were the 3 lords of the forest.

Predators generally avoided their territory, or were confident in their running skills.

The northern side, had an uncommon beast.

{Name: -

Species: Black Caiman King (reptile)

Rank: Uncommon (E-) }

{Black Caiman King, a mutated creature that consumed multiple magical plants, with one of them being an E rank rarity. }

It was 15m long, and its scales shining ominously It looked bulletproof. 

The eastern side, also had an uncommon beast.

{Name: /

Species: Anaconda King 

Rank: Uncommon (E-)}

{Awakened its ancestral bloodline, due to the growing emergence of mana. }

It was a monstrous muscular snake that is 30m long, and its circumfrence was 2m. 

To the south was one more uncommon beast.

{Name: /

Species: Electric Eel king

Rank: Uncommon (E-)}

{Consumed multiple, magical plants, and also an E rank plant}

Yeah, he just saw it one time. it was 4m. no info at all, it was in water, obviously. 

His plant was to hunt at least 2 of these, when he evolves. 

why not all of them?, cause the electric eel rarely appeared outside the deep water.

If it was before only a small part of research world were aware of the project that included the mutated eagle, but now all of the research world is buzz, after watching the stream from Jake.

They were all very much intrigued, not only had the eagle possessed strength, to defeat ten wolves, it also had the intelligence of the equivalent exchange.

It also appeared to be so far, friendly with humans. It seemed to understand them too.

The researchers who performed the operations, were also interested in the amazon rain forest. They observed animals were aggressive there, this was a wake up call.

The Capybaras for example were one of the friendliest animals to humans, but they turned out to be more aggressive. 

So they did a statistical check, to their horror, the aggressiveness of the animals were going up, not only limited to the amazon rain forest, but everywhere in the world, they also noticeably got stronger.

Thus this was reported to the many of the governments. 

The research community convulsed with unprecedented excitement and terror.

Dr. Elena Rodriguez stood before the international research consortium, her presentation cutting through the ambient murmur of scientific speculation.

"What we're witnessing isn't just animal behavior modification," she began, her University of Cape Town credentials lending gravitas to her words. "This is a systemic, global biological transformation."

Dr. Dimitri Volkov from Moscow's Zoology Institute leaned forward, his weathered hands clasped tightly. "The Amazon data is... troubling. Not just anomalous. Fundamentally alarming."

Dr. Sarah Chen from Stanford's Biological Research Department spread several holographic charts across the conference table. Color-coded graphs showed exponential increases in animal aggression and physiological mutations.

"Look here," she pointed. "Normal mutation rates typically show incremental changes. These graphs? They're vertical. Instantaneous."

The room fell silent.

Dr. Rodriguez continued. "We've confirmed increased aggression in 94% of tracked animal populations. Strength measurements show a 42% increase across multiple species. But it's not random. There's... intelligence behind these mutations."

Professor Zhang Wei from Beijing's Advanced Biology Center spoke softly. "Not just intelligence. Coordinated adaptation."

The military representatives from various nations exchanged uncomfortable glances.

American General Thomas Richards cleared his throat. "Are we talking about a potential biological threat?"

"We're talking about a potential ecological revolution," Dr. Volkov corrected. "Nature isn't just adapting. It's... restructuring."

The Brazilian representative, Dr. Maria Santos, looked particularly concerned. "The Amazon Rainforest appears to be the epicenter. Our initial research teams reported unprecedented animal behaviors. Coordinated attacks. Complex communication patterns."

Dr. Chen interjected, "We're seeing mutations that suggest collective intelligence. Not just individual species adaptation, but ecosystem-wide transformation."

"Ecosystem-wide transformation," repeated General Richards. "That sounds like a fancy way of saying potential global conflict."

Dr. Rodriguez's response was measured. "Not conflict. Evolution."

The room absorbed the weight of that statement.

"Our current tracking suggests these mutations aren't random," Professor Zhang explained. "They're responding to something."

The military representatives exchanged worried glances.

"And humans?" General Richards asked. "Where do we fit in this... evolutionary restructuring?"

Dr. Chen's response was chilling in its simplicity: "We're about to find out."

The conference room fell into a heavy, contemplative silence. The charts continued their relentless display of biological transformation.

Something was changing. And humanity was just beginning to understand the magnitude of that change.
