MTLNOVEL Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Territory: Mutated Giant Banyan
```html
As it is not widely known, the best hunters often appear as prey.
So Bai Yi felt that being chased by the wild boar was proof of being an excellent hunter.
At the very least, Bai Yi thought that thinking this way might offer some comfort, and being chased all the way by a wild boar was all part of the plan!
This was all a tactical maneuver! (Knock on board)
According to the predetermined plan, Bai Yi, relying on the newbie protection, sneakily grabbed what she could from the mutant creatures whose locations were noted, and then made a quick escape.
Along the way, everything was in a frenzy (referring to the mutant chickens and mutant dogs), and eventually, she found the wild boar family.
Bai Yi seized the opportunity and picked up the little pig, then turned to run.
The wild boar initially seemed confused about what had happened, why its child inexplicably flew away.
But soon, it realized and crazily charged at Bai Yi.
Bai Yi, holding the piglet in her arms, ran straight toward the giant tree.
This "chase" lasted a full three minutes, and Bai Yi didn't even understand how she managed to endure it.
Seeing she was nearing the clearing where the giant tree stood, the wild boar behind her was closing in again.
Randomly selecting a large tree within her line of sight, Bai Yi changed her target and rushed straight toward it, as if ready to crash.
But just a second before nearing the tree, she suddenly turned, sliding past it.
Bai Yi only needed to move deftly, but the wild boar behind her had much more to consider.
The strong inertia made it impossible for it to turn, and it slammed straight into it.
Bang!
Immediately, a cracking sound followed from behind, and Bai Yi could faintly hear the cry of the unfortunate tree.
Really sorry.
After a moment of silence in her heart for the tree, Bai Yi accelerated again, darting through an already sparse bush, and her view suddenly cleared.
She was back!
Her steps did not falter, she continued sprinting forward, made a last sprint to the giant tree, and Bai Yi leaned against the trunk, panting heavily.
The little piglet in front of her was still kicking its short legs, struggling, but all the damage was nullified by the newbie protection, not a shred reached Bai Yi.
Looking up, the wild boar seemed very aware of the danger here and stopped at the edge of the clearing.
Thinking about its child still being there, its rage gradually overcame its fear, it roared violently in place, fixed its direction, and pointed its tusks at Bai Yi.
But its fury was destined not to reach Bai Yi.
Bai Yi's lips curled up, freeing a hand to pat the giant tree behind her, and her superpower activated instantly.
The giant tree was inclined to expose its tusks to the invading mutant creatures, and under the influence of Bai Yi's superpower, the only thought the giant tree had was magnified indefinitely.
When it was about 10 meters away from Bai Yi, its front hoof was suddenly tripped, and inertia made it impossible to control its own body.
Its tusks pierced the ground, its massive body flipped forward from the top, as if it suddenly did an aerial, um, ground flip?
Then Bai Yi witnessed a shocking scene—
The whole giant tree seemed to come to life, thick, sturdy roots rose from the ground, and slender, tough vines hung down from above, tightly binding the wild boar.
The wild boar's struggles could barely break a few vines, but the next second, more vines would wrap around it, the ends of the vines seemed to turn into sharp spears or bloodthirsty vipers.
Piercing through its body and coming out the other side, spilling its blood onto the ground, claiming the last of its life aura.
Bai Yi had thought this tree was strong, but she never imagined it would be this strong!
"It's time."
Bai Yi invoked the panel, and with a thought.
[Would you like to choose this place as your territory?]
"Yes!"
[Generating lord panel for you, the current template is lord, datafying territory data, initializing territory based on player talent ability...]
A faint green light spread from Bai Yi's hand along the giant tree, extending to each leaf and vine, spreading across the ground to the farthest edge of the clearing, freezing everything in midair.
[Territory creation complete, lord panel loading complete]
[Your newbie protection has expired, you have gained 7 days of territory protection, other players, natives, and mutant creatures cannot attack your territory, remaining time is 6 days, 22 hours, 3 minutes]

[Note: There are still many bugs in this system, report bugs and verify their authenticity to receive certain rewards]
A series of prompts popped up, and Bai Yi's panel immediately showed corresponding changes.
But it wasn't over yet, soon more prompts appeared on the panel:
[Your combat unit Bloodthirsty Giant Banyan (Second Tier) killed Giant Boar (Second Tier), you gained 250 experience points (Lord constructions or units' kills earn 50% experience points)]
[You obtained Giant Boar Pork*647, Second-tier Crystal Core (Giant Boar)*1, Giant Boar Bones*521]

[Game Announcement: Congratulations to player Bai Yi from region 33 for achieving the first kill of Second Tier in this world, reward has been issued, other lords keep striving rigorously]
This announcement set off an explosion in the chat channel.
Autistic: "Damn, a Second Tier first kill!"
Skeleton Emperor: "Who is this person! Jun Lin just got the First-tier first kill, and now it's the Second Tier this quickly? Bug exploited! "
Lulu Cat: "Maybe they really did exploit a bug because the announcement also mentioned bugs."
Skeleton Emperor: "Why! I'm still trapped by zombies in my territory!"
Lulu Cat: "No matter what, first worship the pro!"
Eric: "Worship the pro!"
American Scythe: "Worship the pro!"
......
But Bai Yi knew none of this, once she relaxed, all the fatigue accumulated during the chase erupted.
Feeling the metallic taste in her mouth, Bai Yi closed her eyes, thinking that she really wasn't cut out for confronting danger personally, even with newbie protection, going out to kill a monster nearly took her life, maybe staying in the territory and farming was more suitable for her after all…
Quietly feeling the changes to her body and the subtle connection with her surroundings, she pulled up her own panel.
