Phyllus stood on the ridge, looking out over the divinely transformed land mass.
What had been a flat grassland had been transformed into a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides. Only the centre retained its woods, wilderness and rocky hillocks, which was also the centre of the gods’ creation of species.
Behind it is a deep and wide strait where the sea fills the area, turning it into an impassable moat for land animals. And further away is the regular area of the eastern continent.
The entire basin was under the watchful eye of Phyllus as the wind blew.
A large number of skeleton worms turned into his eyes, keeping an eye on every creature here at all times.
He saw that two small spade beetles were wrestling, both fighting from jaws pitted against each other to prying at each other to hugging each other in exasperation.
This was the fighting habit of the fighting spade beetle, and it was normal.
A stinky phoenix butterfly flew over the heads of the fighting stag beetles, and I don’t know whether it was purely for fun or just to watch. The butterfly hovered over the heads of the small stag beetles and fluttered its wings.
The two small spade beetles suddenly stiffened up, immediately let go, and each of them fled towards the grass at a surprisingly fast speed.
The Stinking Phoenix Butterfly released its stench.
And not far away, the Stinking Phoenix Butterfly’s close relative, the Green Phoenix Butterfly, was dancing among the branches. The illusion created by the scale powder made the tree squirrels jump up and down, excited and engrossed.
Under this tree, there was an adult Fighting Spade Armour lying on its back.
It was about to nibble and suck the sap.
Two green tentacles suddenly stretched out from the bushes under the tree, pulling up Doo Shovel Armour and dropping it over its shoulder. Belly up, Doo Shovel Armour’s limbs struggled desperately, becoming extremely lousy.
Fellows touched the white bone forehead with his hand.
Everything else was normal here.
To say what’s wrong …… is this grass.
Phyllus calls it cranky grass.
At some point, a transcendental plant had appeared in the valley. It looked flat and unimpressive, a rather dense and pliable mass of grass.
However, it was an extremely fierce creature.
Fellows was a little unsure of how to deliver it.
What should one say once the Lord of the Gods had set his sights on this world?
“Divine Lord, an unknown transcendent creature has suddenly appeared in the valley that likes to beat up Fighting Spade Armour ……”
Or said.
“My Lord God, my subordinates have discovered that a new kind of life has been born in the upper valley, they are a kind of grass that can curb the expansion of the Fighting Spade Armour ……”
He had carefully observed and researched over the past few years.
There were a range of reasons and backgrounds for the birth of Grumpy Grass.
Firstly, there was the pollination of the Green Crested Butterfly and the Stinking Crested Butterfly, which travelled in and out of the valley, bringing in a huge variety of grass seeds from the outside world, causing the vegetation in the valley to become more and more dense, with all sorts of strange plants popping up all over the place.
Furthermore, the Spade Armour itself was belligerent. They have a hard time breaking down each other’s defences, but they have a way of doing so, lifting their enemies after locking them in their jaws and throwing them into the channel’s rushing waters.
Stag beetles in the water are unable to fly, and are especially slow in the swift currents, and are preyed upon by sea creatures such as man-eating crabs in the water.
Over time, the seaward area of the valley has become a dead zone between the spade beetles.
In addition to this form of death, more often than not, it is a natural death. Especially during the time of the young spadefoots, they were weak in defence and armour, and both vipers and falcons were their natural enemies.
The young of transcendent creatures were a special delicacy to ordinary carnivores. Even though some of these hunters would die under the powerful jaws of an adult Fighting Stag beetle, they keep trying to poach them.
Over time, there were quite a few small stag beetle remains left on the ground.
These remains were absorbed by the grass, together with the Phoenix Butterfly’s pollination modification, and only after a series of evolutions was the Grumpy Grass born.
In a way, it’s kind of like the grass form of the Fighting Spade Armour.
Fellows actual observation, however, reveals that Grumpy Grass and Fighting Spade Armour are like water and fire.
Grumpy Grass was on the side of plants. Next to it, it would strike whenever a plant was bullied or its territory was invaded.
They will gather and cluster around each other to form a large grass man to fight off the lanky Fighting Shovel Armour, which is no disadvantage at all in terms of strength.
In addition, because their bodies are grass, they are very flexible, and they are even more advantageous against the Fighting Shovel Armour instead.
Of course, the Fighting Stag beetle was not the type to give in easily.
For example, right now.
Fellows saw that the Dou Shovel Armour that was overturned ran all the way away, while bringing two of his brothers over afterwards. It looked like it couldn’t hold its breath and wanted to win by sheer numbers.
The three fighting spade armours came over aggressively to seek revenge.
The Grumpy Grasses stood up from the earth in droves, revealing strong roots underneath, denser in number.
Both sides fought, blades of grass and armour flying and mud splattering ……
Phyllus sighed.
That was the problem.
Grumpy Grasses aren’t the kind of plant that traditionally only shrinks into the soil. They can stand up and even uproot themselves from the soil and stay in action for a short period of time.
So more and more Grumpy Grasses gathered together, all of them protecting and collaborating with each other, forming a grassman defence line that made it impossible for the Fighting Shovel Armour to cross.
Compared to the Fighting Spade Armour, the grass people could twine around each other and form big strong grass people, and as long as there were enough of them, they were rather advantageous in terms of strength and size.
On the bright side, because of the appearance of the Grumpy Grass, it made the entire valley more energetic. The Fighting Spade Armour, which usually ate and slept, also had to fight for territory with the Grumpy Grass to gain access to the grass and woods.
The constant confrontation between the two groups also allowed both sides to rapidly become stronger.
Fellows prayed silently in his heart.
These beetles created by the gods are often brutally beaten by Grumpy Grass, but I hope that the god-sama will not be angry ……
Suddenly, the oracle rang in his mind.
–How is the situation?
With a jolt, Fellows hurriedly knelt on the ground, “Lord God, my subordinate has made a new discovery ……”
……
Lu Yao was carrying a bowl with rice, sweet and sour pork, shredded pork with mushrooms and green vegetables. After a sleep last night, it was already noon the next day when he woke up.
Mum and Dad had gone out to visit relatives and left him a midday meal in the pot.
So he took it out and ate it while watching the simulator.
Lu Yao picked at his meal and looked at the simulator.
Fellows the Skeleton Man was reporting back.
“…… As a result of drawing on the bodies of the Fighting Spade Armour, as well as the grass seeds brought by the two types of Phoenix Butterflies, a special grass-type transcendent creature has been born in the valley.”
Lu Yao watched as he picked up two more mouthfuls of rice.
Doing one for one?
Is that a good thing?
“It’s just that the Fighting Spade Armour is a bit irresistible against this kind of grass.”
“Initially, the Fighting Shovel Armour had the upper hand, but the grass creatures can adapt to various environments, and they can stand up from the earth …… temporarily hide, and then make a comeback when there are enough of them.”
“Because the grass creatures change over quickly, becoming stronger and stronger from generation to generation.”
The chopsticks in Lu Yao’s hand stopped.
Grass, you’re standing up?
What kind of Pokémon is this?
He put down the bowl and moved the mouse to find the grass creature that Phyllus was talking about.
In shape they looked like a broader clump of grass, with extremely dense and curly blades, and their colour was a little darker than normal grass, making Lu Yao think of the air bromeliads from the flower market.

……
Lu Yao overlooked the valley and soon witnessed a battle between Monstrous Grass and Fighting Spade Armour.
The two Fighting Spade Beetles attempted to uproot their foes with their jaws, however, they were surrounded by a group of Monstrous Grasses on the left and right, with the Grass Monsters waving their curled blades of grass and their brothers working in unison to put the beetles down.
One of the fighting spade beetles was toppled over by the monster grasses, its weak stomach was instantly swarmed by the grass monsters’ swings, and its limbs were tied up. The other Spade Beetle rushed to help arch it back to the ground, and the two Spade Beetles had no choice but to walk away angry.
Lu Yao ate two mouthfuls of rice with the ribs.
Give you a chance and you won’t use it.
The shape is bluffing, who knows that you’ll be hammered by a weird grass explosion.
Fellows hurriedly added, “Lord God, although the Fighting Shovel Armour was skyrocketed by the Monstrous Grass in the valley, they were still evenly matched, back and forth with the Flaming Chicken in the Eastern Continent, and were still very strong.”
Lu Yao almost choked on his rice.
This is me not being able to beat Oddlypod, and I still can’t beat you?
Wait a minute. The Shovelfist has finally crossed the canyon and entered the outer ecosystem?
