Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 131 - 124: Competing for the Rankings_1

After reaching the Fourth Order, Ye Feng gradually felt as if there were invisible shackles on him in this world.

With the World Tree’s ability to control heaven and earth, he could perceive the essence of this world more clearly and deduced that, at present, one could at most cultivate to the peak realm of Fourth Order.

If he wanted to continue advancing, there probably were only two methods: one was to leave this world, and the other was to wait for the further resurgence of spiritual energy.

At the moment, the concentration of spiritual energy was still increasing.

Ye Feng could feel that as the concentration of spiritual energy increased, the shackles on him weakened bit by bit.

"If I’m not mistaken, once this resurgence of spiritual energy ends, this world’s limit should be able to reach the early stage of the Fifth Order," Ye Feng estimated.

Because of this, he was not in a hurry at all, since it wouldn’t take him long to reach either the peak of Fourth Order or the early stage of the Fifth Order.

Moreover, in a situation where there were upper limits to cultivation, the most correct approach was actually to train his subordinates.

Just imagine, after the resurgence of spiritual energy ended, and one could at most cultivate to the early stage of the Fifth Order.

Other dominant beings would only be of the Fifth Order themselves, but he would have a group of subordinates who had reached the Fifth Order. In a real battle, they could definitely hang their enemy out to dry.

"Thinking about those things is too premature. After I can dominate the whole Donglin Mountain Range, then it won’t be too late to consider other matters,"

Ye Feng pulled his thoughts back to the present and began sorting through the forces he currently held, looking for ways to enhance them.

What he wanted to enhance were not his contracted animals, but their followers, more precisely, those stuck at the bottleneck of the First Order Peak.

As for how to make the most cost-effective use of spiritual energy, there was no doubt that it was best to help these mutated beings take the opportunity of the resurgence of spiritual energy to break through their own bottlenecks.

This would significantly strengthen his subordinates, and also provide him with a more substantial power of faith once they broke through.

After this real battle, he had deeply realized the terrifying aspect of the "Ability to Control Heaven and Earth," a faith skill.

If he had enough faith, he could actually turn the clouds with a flip of his hand and rain with a cover, and facing thousands of troops alone would not be a problem.

"What’s more, after this battle, I’m certain that I can use lightning to counter missiles."

"That means, as long as I have enough power of faith, even if I’m exposed, I’d have the confidence to deal with human hot weapons."

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Feng couldn’t help but let out a long breath. Since his rebirth, he who had been constantly on edge could finally relax a bit.

Next, he began to infuse spiritual energy into the Red Fire Ants and the Big Yellow Bees that were stuck at the First Order Peak.

Besides them, the Mutated Sparrows, Mutated Bats, Mutated Black Crows – all those stuck at the First Order Peak – were given the same treatment.

Meanwhile, on the front line, Chen Dalong was not idle either.

Although the incident of the Mutated Animals attacking the Yangcheng City Zoo was still fermenting on the internet, ordinary people might still have time for idle chatter.

But for people like Chen Dalong, who were fighting on the front lines, they would concentrate all their attention on the defensive lines as soon as the dust settled.

"Let’s make one last adjustment. If there are no issues, we’ll set all the details of the fire attack plan like this. Afterwards, I’ll report it higher and promote it throughout the army. If all goes well, we all can get a collective first-class merit," shouted Shen Chen.

Hearing this, all the soldiers instantly perked up, their eyes showing excitement.

A collective first-class merit wasn’t just an honor; it had actual rewards.

And Chen Dalong also let out a long breath of relief. The fire attack plan had been changed back and forth more than a dozen times.

Especially adjusting the size of the flame during the fire attack, this adjustment had the most iterations.

At first, they thought the bigger the flame, the better, even using incendiary bottles, but they quickly realized that it simply wouldn’t work.

Because the flames were too large, they obstructed the line of sight, making it difficult for bullets to hit the mice. As a result, even more Mutated Mice could break through the blockade.

But if the flames were too small, they were ineffective and couldn’t inflict enough damage on the Mutated Mice.

At last, they settled into a pattern of firing in intervals, switching back and forth.

Soon, the next wave of mouse tide arrived, with as many as 1,800 mice this time, and a considerable number of Mutated Cockroaches gathering around. When they launched an attack together, they were overwhelmingly powerful.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

On the streets, over 100 flamethrowers spewed out tongues of fire. After fiercely burning for a moment, they quickly stopped.

Then soldiers holding field automatic rifles immediately began firing.

As the approaching Mutated Mice were already ignited, they were especially conspicuous in the night, directly improving the troops’ hit rate.

After a round of firing, the flamethrowers didn’t delay at all, perfectly connecting to the next attack. As the second wave of fire spewed out, it intensified the flames on the Mutated Mice even more.

After switching back and forth three times like this, in the end, only 5 Mutated Mice managed to reach the defensive line.

But by then, they had been burned so badly that their flesh was split open, and their fighting power had dropped to less than half of what it had been.

Compared to them, the soldiers, after fighting for over two hours, had completely figured out all sorts of attack patterns of the Mutated Mice, making it much easier to kill them than before.

The 5 Mutated Mice that had breached the defense were quickly dealt with. Although one soldier’s protective suit was damaged by fire, this wave of defense was still perfectly held.

"Good job, everyone remember these steps. We’ll fight like this from now on," Shen Chen shouted excitedly.

Cheers came from the others as well, and Chen Dalong was no exception.

However, amidst the cheering, he also felt a bit troubled.

The fire attack plan was now very much perfected, which meant that his role would be greatly diminished.

Of course, Chen Dalong wasn’t concerned about whether he could still be useful, but without the need for his rescue, he wouldn’t have a way to kill Mutated Mice, making it hard to score points on the Superhuman Rankings. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

While he was unsure whether to be excited or troubled, his phone rang with a special tone. Chen Dalong picked it up and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

He walked to a corner with his phone and eagerly answered, "Lord Parrot, you guys are amazing. Is Dragon Lord’s power about to increase rapidly?"

"Yes, that’s right," the Mutated Parrot acknowledged and reminded, "Our strength has indeed skyrocketed, and Dragon Lord has contracted a new batch of messengers. You better work hard and not be surpassed by the later Mutated Beings!"

Hearing Lord Parrot say this, the smile on Chen Dalong’s face instantly disappeared, turning into a look of concern — he had indeed forgotten about this aspect.

Previously, he was just excited that he would have the protection of Mutated Lions and Mutated Tigers without considering that his status might not be secured.

It was at this moment that the Mutated Parrot’s voice continued, "Of course, you shouldn’t worry too much. Dragon Lord values the human camp very much and has even personally negotiated, talking about cooperation."

"But such cooperation won’t go deep, so in the end, we still need you. The higher your status in human society, the more advantageous it is for Dragon Lord, the more you will be valued."

"So in this next assault on the Superhuman Rankings, you have to perform well and become the undisputed number one to really catch the top brass’s attention," the Mutated Parrot added.

While energized by these words, Chen Dalong’s expression became even more troubled.

"Understood, Lord Parrot, I will do my best. But I have a question: is it possible for me to switch to another, more dangerous defensive line? Because it’s basically safe here now, making it difficult for me to contribute," Chen Dalong asked cautiously.

"No!" the Mutated Parrot flatly refused, then paused before continuing, "Protecting the Ye Family is your most important mission. As for dealing with Mutated Mice, that’s easy to handle."

"The Mouse King Messenger is about to arrive at the area you’re defending. It has the ability to control other Mutated Mice, so you can decide how these Mutated Mice attack."

Hearing this, Chen Dalong’s spirits lifted, and an excited expression appeared on his face. If that was the case, the upcoming matters would be easy to handle.
