Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 670 - 381: Battle Against the Spider Queen_1

At this moment, Ye Feng, who held high expectations, had already spent nearly half an hour using his immense spiritual power to scan the entirety of Daxinganling.

However, he didn’t discover anyone with particularly strong abilities, nor did he find any Mutated Beings that were special.

Clearly, the situation he least hoped for had occurred: the hidden antagonist was employing deceptive measures that couldn’t be detected through normal methods.

"Sigh~"

Ye Feng couldn’t help but sigh lightly as he had already flown back to the main battlefield.

The only option left was to enact Plan B, which was to systematically identify each Mutated Creature.

This sort of identification would be very difficult for others, but not for Ye Feng, especially after he had studied Illusion Techniques, which made the process much simpler.

By casting an Illusion Technique on these Mutated Creatures and infiltrating their minds with spiritual power, one could naturally discern the strength of their Sea of Consciousness.

If the Sea of Consciousness was very strong, or if they were impervious to his illusions, then it would indicate something was amiss.

Of course, this method of identification was incredibly draining on spiritual power, and Ye Feng wouldn’t even dare contemplate it if his soul origin hadn’t recovered.

After all, there were nearly 7 million Mutated Creatures here, and even without scanning them all, the required consumption of spiritual power would be immense.

Even an Eighth Order Spirit Power Strongman would find it difficult to complete this task.

However, Ye Feng’s Sea of Consciousness had reached the Peak of the Seventh Order, and coupled with enough Fruit of Life to restore his spiritual power, he wasn’t overly concerned about the consumption.

His only worry was time.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Feng cleared his mind of distractions and began to cast his Illusion Technique with full force.

Suddenly, the gaze of over a hundred Mutated Animals on the battlefield seemed to blur for a moment, but they quickly regained clarity as Ye Feng had completed the reconnaissance.

In this manner, Ye Feng performed batch by batch identifications of the Mutated Creatures, and for those that showed no issues, he still left a bit of spiritual power within their Sea of Consciousness as a marker.

The situation on the battlefield was constantly changing, and the Mutated Creatures were moving ceaselessly; without leaving some markers, it would be hard for him to confirm which creatures he had already identified.

Time ticked away bit by bit, one hour, two hours, three hours...

Ye Feng’s efficiency in scanning was very high, as he was able to identify at least a million Mutated Creatures every hour and confirm their identities.

Despite his efficiency, Ye Feng’s eyes betrayed an unmistakable urgency.

In just these short three hours, more than 30,000 personnel on the military side had died, and over 100,000 had been injured.

If it weren’t for the reinforcements arriving continuously and stabilizing the defense lines, these casualties could have increased threefold or more.

Among the reinforcements, what caught Ye Feng’s attention the most was the second batch because a group of Mechas had arrived with it.

These Mechas, as tall as six-story buildings and constructed entirely of various alloys, could be said to be the pinnacle of combined technology and Formation craftsmanship.

Yes, Formation.

According to the intelligence Ye Feng had gathered from Zhao Guofeng, many aspects of these Mechas were inspired by the Metal Puppets in the Land of Inheritance.

The Formation that allowed the Metal Puppets to continuously recover was something everyone coveted.

Of course, such a unique Formation was inaccessible, but Mechas crafted with technology and basic Formations still possessed formidable combat capabilities.

In particular, in terms of defensive power, each Mecha was fundamentally equipped with both "Giant Strength Formation" and "Stable Formation."

Although these were only basic Formations, they enhanced the Mechas’ offensive and defensive capabilities to a higher level.

In a one-on-one situation, they could easily defeat Mutated Animals at the Sixth Order Peak.

Even amidst a battlefield filled with countless Sixth Order Mutated Creatures, these Mechas stood firm like steel pillars in a raging tide.

As long as the Mechas remained standing, they could serve as pillars of strength, and in conjunction with the infantry working in coordination, they significantly elevated the defense line.

If there were any drawback, it was the limited number.

There were only a thousand Mechas in total, and now, in addition to the front defensive walls, the left, right, and rear sides were all under attack by the Mutated Creature Army.

On a battlefield that stretched over thirty kilometers, a thousand Mechas were vastly insufficient.

If the number could increase tenfold to 10,000, it would form an iron wall, perfectly capable of withstanding the onslaught of the Mutated Creature Army.

Regrettably, constructing Mechas was exceedingly expensive, and their frameworks required the newly developed Level Six Special Alloy in large quantities.

The amount of Special Alloy used in a single Mecha could produce 100 Power Armors. If judged strictly on combat effectiveness, this was clearly not cost-effective.

Were it not for the surge of Sixth Order Mutated Creatures after the emergence of the Land of Inheritance, providing the raw materials necessary to make Level Six Special Alloy, the Mechas project wouldn’t have been feasible at all.

Naturally, judging from the events of this battle, the potential of Mechas was exceedingly high, especially in outdoor combat without the protection of city walls.
