Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 638 - 367: Rapid Killing, Points Skyrocketing (Part 1)_1

Chapter 638: Chapter 367: Rapid Killing, Points Skyrocketing (Part 1)_1

Ye Feng and his companions leaped off the city wall, following the previously established route as they quickly headed in the northwest direction.

At the beginning, their path was clear and unobstructed, as the military would clear the area near the city walls of mutated insects and animals every day, ensuring a very low danger coefficient.

However, as they ventured deeper, they gradually encountered more mutated insects.

Perhaps due to the environment of Daxinganling, which seemed to be particularly conducive to the local fauna and flora, the Realm of the mutated insects here was generally higher than in other areas, making them stronger as well.

The mutated insects they met were rarely of the Second Order; most of them were of the Third Order or above, and even the Fourth Order was not uncommon, and this was just the perimeter.

Ye Feng swung his spear, cutting a basketball-sized wasp with a slender waist into two halves.

He was not the only one; the rest of the team also encountered attacks.

Cockroaches, spiders, Coleoptera, Cicadas, Lice, Longhorn Beetles, ladybugs, Scarabaeidae, Shield Bugs, Horseflies, Weevils, Weaving Maidens, Trilobites, White Lacewings—one after another, various mutated insects appeared.

Of course, the most numerous were still the Mutated Mosquitoes. The Third Order Mutated Mosquitoes were already 30 centimeters in length, sometimes appearing in swarms, truly a hair-raising sight.

This exerted a significant pressure on the ten Fourth Order members of the team.

They had no doubt that if they were traveling alone, the mutated insects alone would cause them considerable trouble.

What was even more annoying was that killing these mutated insects did not count toward the scoring; only the mutated animals were eligible for points.

Of course, as they went deeper, they soon encountered various Mutated Animals.

Mutated Mice, Mutated Monkeys, Mutated Chimpanzees, Mutated Wild Buffalo, Mutated Gazelles, Mutated Wild Horses, Mutated Rams, Mutated Wild Wolves, Mutated Wild Dogs, Mutated Pangolins all appeared sequentially.

However, the intelligence of these mutated animals was clearly higher than that of the mutated insects.

Upon seeing Ye Feng’s team, their first response was not to attack but to turn around and flee.

Unfortunately for them, Ye Feng and the others were targeting them. They wouldn’t go out of their way to look for these mutated animals, but they would take action to handle any they encountered.

So the team continued to advance at high speed, quickly arriving at the area represented by blue on the map, indicating a First Level Danger Zone.

"Not bad, there are no other teams nearby. The mutated animals in this area are just right for us to practice on," said Ye Feng as he scanned the whole area with his spiritual power and immediately spoke up.

The others stopped in their tracks, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Ye Feng, waiting for his further arrangements.

Ye Feng beckoned for everyone to come closer, then he activated the projection feature of his watch, pulled up the map, and zoomed in on their current area.

He then extended his finger and began tapping on the projected screen. Wherever his finger touched, markers immediately appeared.

The crowd watched Ye Feng with some perplexity, not understanding what he meant to convey.

"These places I’ve marked contain at least Fourth Order Mutated Animals, a total of fifty-three," he stated.

"However, they’re too scattered. It would waste too much time to chase after and kill them one by one. So my plan is to lure them into this middle area and then finish them off all at once, saving as much time as possible," Ye Feng pointed to a certain location on the map as he spoke.

Hiss!

As Ye Feng’s words rang out, everyone present couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

They found Ye Feng’s plan too bold and a little too crazy.

For the average person, the most troublesome scenario would likely be encountering a group of mutated animals together, yet Ye Feng deliberately sought to do this.

Besides, what surprised them even more was Ye Feng’s accurate revelation of the location of each mutated animal.

Such an immense spiritual power was indeed required!

Even some people cast sidelong glances at Lu Tao in the team, another member with Spiritual Class powers.

"Don’t look at me! My perceptive range is very limited. In this First Level Danger Zone, the extent I can survey doesn’t exceed one-thirtieth," Lu Tao shrugged helplessly.

After he finished speaking, he stared at the map projected on the ground and asked, "Ye, the markers you’ve made have two colors; does this mean something?"

"Hmm! The blue markers represent Fourth Order Mutated Animals, and the purple markers represent Fifth Order Mutated Animals. If there are Sixth Order Mutated Animals, I will use red markers, consistent with the color of the danger zone, to avoid confusion," Ye Feng explained.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding, and a sigh of relief went through the crowd as they realized there were no Sixth Order Mutant Animals in the area.

"All right, next up, it’s up to you to discuss how to lure these mutated animals to the designated area. I’ll wait over there."

With a gesture, Ye Feng touched the communicator hanging on his ear and continued, "If you encounter danger, just call for help on the communication channel, and I can get there in no more than 30 seconds."

After saying this, he moved ahead to the designated area.

The ones left behind looked at each other.

They had all taken note of the locations Ye Feng had just marked. Now, according to their own levels of cultivation, they immediately volunteered to attract certain Mutated Animals.

However, as everyone spoke at once, there was inevitably some chaos.

Ye Feng’s voice timely appeared in everyone’s communication headset, "Next, Chai Shi will act as deputy captain, just directly assign the tasks, what I want is efficiency."

As Ye Feng spoke, everyone fell silent, and some quietly reined in their private agendas.

Chai Shi cleared his throat and immediately began to arrange things.

Of course, he was well aware that Ye Feng’s spiritual power could sense the situation here at any time, so his task assignment was absolutely impartial.

In just a short ten seconds or so, everyone had their targets assigned and dispersed to act straightaway.

Of course, this is a First Level Danger Zone, and it wasn’t just the 54 Mutated Animals that Ye Feng had identified contained within.

The number of First, Second, and Third Order Mutated Animals was anything but small, and there were also a large number of Mutated Insects.

But those who had stood out from among the hundreds of thousands of contestants to come here for the final competition were not mediocre at all.

Even if they were to face Fourth Order Mutant Animals on their own, they could fight and win, let alone lower-Realm Mutated Animals and Mutated Insects.

Although fighting all the way through might be a bit of a hassle, that was all there was to it, and it couldn’t even be considered a danger.

As for Ye Feng, he had already arrived at the agreed-upon location, a clearing that was the territory of a Fifth Order Mutated Ram.

In this area, it could be considered a minor tyrant, with no other Mutated Animals daring to come near.

But as Ye Feng arrived here, and then a "Hammer of Spirit" smashed down, it directly shattered the opponent’s Sea of Knowledge.

Simply put, brain death.

"The effects of the Hammer of Spirit are not bad, I only used a tenth of my spiritual power, and to think it could have such an effect," Ye Feng nodded, quite satisfied.

The Hammer of Spirit was a Spiritual Martial Art Ye Feng had mastered during this period.

Ye Feng had previously possessed a secret technique of spiritual power: the Soul Burning Art.

But the cost of the secret technique was too great, and it wasn’t feasible for the human body to employ at will, learning a Spiritual Martial Art on the side was very important.

More importantly, Martial Art techniques and secret techniques don’t conflict; they can be used in conjunction, which is even more critical.

It can be said that only by mastering both can Ye Feng maximize the advantages of his spiritual power.

And the Hammer of Spirit Ye Feng intentionally chose was not the most powerful, but it was the one that best fit him.

Because the distinctive feature of the Hammer of Spirit was that the greater the spiritual power, the more terrifying the burst of power upon release.

The reason for this is that the Hammer of Spirit’s most significant characteristic is a double attack.

Simply put, within the Hammer of Spirit that Ye Feng condensed, there was also a hidden surge of power that would burst forth upon hitting the enemy.

Of course, if this were a normal Martial Art move, it would be relatively easy to achieve, but with spiritual power, it was difficult.

You must compress an additional wave of spiritual power when condensing the Hammer of Spirit and release it at the critical moment, and achieving this was not a small feat.

With Ye Feng’s Talent, it took him nearly a week just to learn the basics of the "Hammer of Spirit".

Of course, this was partly because the move was inherently challenging to master.

On the other hand, and more importantly, it was because Ye Feng had not spent too much time on this, only pondering it in his spare time.

And after he learned it, Ye Feng had never used it in actual combat because no one could withstand it, and it was very easy to kill someone if not careful.

Now that he had used it, Ye Feng felt that this move was not learned in vain.

He estimated its power, and if he were to give it his all, coupled with using the Soul Burning Art, even a Seventh Order Strongman wouldn’t be able to block it easily.

Of course, Ye Feng just casually experienced it and then leaped onto the carcass of the Mutated Ram, sitting cross-legged to continue his contemplation of the Space Transfer Rule.

After all, he wasn’t one to waste time idly.

After all, after comprehending the Space Shift Rule, he still needed to comprehend other Space System Rules in order to condense the Supreme Rule, and the journey ahead was long and arduous.

At this time, every move Ye Feng made was being live-streamed online.

Because the battlefield recorders they carried not only had video capabilities but also could transmit the images back via satellite in real-time.

The battlefield recorder was embedded in the helmet component of the Nanotech Battle Suit, so the viewers couldn’t see Ye Feng in person, but they could enjoy a first-person perspective.

Since the final competition had officially begun, hundreds of live-streaming channels appeared online, with one hundred popular contestants being featured.

And the number of people who went to watch Ye Feng’s live stream accounted for at least one-third of the total.
