4 Breeding Mermaids

Peter checked a few useful posts and backed out.

At this time, night fell on the Island World.

Peter was quite satisfied with the progress of the first day. Not only did he plant the tree of life that only Peter had, he also planted other seeds.

As long as nothing unexpected happened and went according to plan, the fruit of life, whether in quality or quantity, would be the top in the Island World.

Peter lit up the lighting charged by the sun during the day. Then, he lit a bonfire next to the tent built earlier.

The night in the island world was still a little cold. With the help of the heat from the bonfire, Peter could sleep very comfortably tonight.

The first day of the island world passed just like that.

The next morning.

When Peter woke up, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. After a night of growth, the tree of life reached a height of nearly 100 meters. The growth rate was too astonishing.

If one was not very far from the island, one could see a towering tree erected on Peter Island. This was almost equivalent to a landmark building in the outside world.

Peter quickly climbed out of the tent and ran to the tree of life.

At this time, the trunk of the Tree of life was more than 10 meters in diameter. It required 10 adults to hold hands and hug the thick trunk. If there was a big hole in the trunk of the Tree of life, it would be enough to house an army squad.

Of course, Peter would definitely not make a hole in the trunk of the Tree of life.

Then, he looked up and saw the lush branches covered with leaves that contained the breath of life. Each leaf was shining with a rainbow-colored light under the sunlight.

A huge shade was formed under the tree of life. Standing under the shade, the air that came from the tree actually carried a fragrance.

Peter could not wait to open the system interface and check the interface of the tree of life.

[ tree of life ]

[ level ] : 3/100.

[ life energy ] : 300/day. (life energy can be used to breed and upgrade creatures. 300 life energy can breed a creature.)

There was an additional life energy display on the tree of Life's interface. This indicated that the tree of life could really nurture life. As for what kind of creature it could nurture, everything was random.

Peter closed the interface of the tree of life.

He was puzzled.

"300 life energy can nurture one creature?"

Peter planned to give it a try. There was exactly 300 life energy at the moment.

If he could give birth to a powerful creature, then after the protection period, he would be able to resist the sea monster's attacks. He might even be able to kill the sea monster.

Thinking of this, Peter no longer hesitated. He directed 300 lifeforce through the system interface.

The breeding began.

At this moment, Peter raised his head and looked at the 100-meter-tall tree of life. A Ball of light containing lifeforce appeared on the tree branch.

Peter looked at the ball of light that contained the power of life with excitement and slowly descended.

What kind of creature could it be?

Along with the ball of light that contained the aura of life, it landed steadily on his palm.

Peter carefully used his hand to hold the ball of light.

When the light slowly dissipated, a mermaid that was only half the size of a palm appeared in front of Peter.

What was this?

A mermaid?

[ mermaid, Level 1. When placed in the ocean, it will grow on its own. ]

When Peter saw the system notification, he was shocked. It really was a mermaid.

However, the system had given him too little information. He did not know what use the mermaid born from the tree of life had.

It was also possible that the mermaid had just been born and its level was too low, so many abilities could not be used yet.

Peter could only comfort himself with this. At the same time, he held the little mermaid in his hands and walked to the edge of the island.

The system prompted the mermaid to be thrown into the sea and let it grow on its own.

After more than ten minutes, Peter came to the low-lying area of the island, with soft sand, feeling like a quilt, on the beach.

He first put the little mermaid on the beach. After observing for a while, Peter chose a safer place. Then he dug a small hole with his hand and ran into the sea to fill the sand hole with seawater.

After doing all this, Peter put the little mermaid into the sand hole filled with seawater. The Little Mermaid, who was originally lifeless, changed immediately when she met the sea water.

The Little Mermaid began to twist her pink tail, and her human-like upper body also began to stretch.

Pop!

The Little Mermaid also discovered Peter's existence. Her petite head emerged from the water and made a tender sound at him.

This little guy was really cute! Peter could not help but use his finger to gently touch the Little Mermaid's head.

This move further enhanced their intimacy.

The little mermaid kept rubbing her head against Peter's finger.

Peter felt a numbing sensation on his fingertips.

At this moment, Peter remembered what the Little Mermaid was eating.

Looking at its petite body, he could not feed it the energy bar that he had brought with him.

Fortunately, the system notification appeared at this moment.

[ Congratulations, host, the mermaid has been successfully released. You can use life energy to accelerate the growth of the mermaid. ]

So that's how it is!

Peter opened the interface of the tree of life to check.

At this moment, the life energy produced by the Tree of life was only 20 points.

This was because he had consumed 300 life energy just now in order to breed creatures.

He only had 20 life energy. He did not know if the life energy needed for the little mermaid to grow was enough.

Peter decided to give it a try first.

Then he used the system interface to give all 20 life energy points to the mermaid. After doing this, Peter waited beside the mermaid.

At this moment, a ball of light containing life energy flew out of the Tree of life.

The ball of light flew quickly towards the sand pit.

The mermaid in the sand pit seemed to feel something. She tried hard to stick her head out of the water and opened her small mouth, like a baby waiting to be fed.

A moment later, the light ball containing life energy flew into the mermaid's mouth.

When the mermaid swallowed the light ball, her pink body became transparent. This was the mermaid absorbing life energy.

When Peter saw this, the worry in his heart was solved. At least, he didn't have to worry about the mermaid's food, as he still had a lot of things to do next.

Seeing that the little guy was absorbing life energy, Peter reluctantly left the mermaid for the time being. 

He went to the small lake and looked at the seeds planted yesterday. Except for the corn seeds that grew the slowest, the other seeds grew very well.

What made Peter most happy was that the rose seeds planted yesterday not only grew the best, but also mutated.

That was because when Peter approached the Rose Bud, a notification screen appeared in the system.

[ a mutated rose has been discovered. The seed level has increased by one level. ]
