Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 220 - 168: Eve of the Great Battle (Part 1)_1

Zhang Ji had just gotten out of the car when he saw the Mutated Parrot descending from the sky.

"Parrot Messenger, we’ve already discussed and agreed on the plan. We’ve come to invite the Dragon Hall’s forces to join the battle," Zhang Ji said in haste.

"How many Mutated Animals do you wish to invite to assist in the war?" Ye Feng asked.

"Regarding the Third Order Mutated Animals, we hope to invite all the messengers of the Dragon Hall," Zhang Ji quickly responded.

"Invite all of the Third Order Mutated Animals?" Ye Feng paused slightly, asking with some surprise, "Do you know how many Third Order Mutated Animals our Dragon Hall has?"

"According to our understanding, you should have a total of 25 Third Order messengers, right? It’s 30 million Huaxia Currency per messenger, adding up to 750 million. Of course, if you have more Third Order messengers, we are willing to spend more money on invitations," stated Zhang Ji immediately.

Although the number given by the other party was not correct, it was not far off. They probably did not include the Queen Ant and Queen Bee in their count, considering that they typically stay inside the anthill and beehive laying eggs without showing themselves.

Of course, Ye Feng had no intention of correcting them, as neither the Queen Bee nor the Queen Ant had strong combat power. Ye Feng had no intention of sending them into battle.

Moreover, sending out 25 Third Order Mutated Animals to assist in the battle brought in a profit of 750 million, which was a sum that somewhat exceeded his expectations.

He had previously thought that after discussing with the higher-ups of Yang City, they would come to negotiate the price. Hence, when he initially set the price, he had really aimed high, but unexpectedly, the other party agreed without hesitation.

And it was not just a few they wanted to invite; it was nearly all of them, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

What he didn’t know, however, was that during the meeting, there were indeed suggestions to negotiate the price, but they were immediately rejected outright by Bai Yinghui.

After all, this was not a simple transaction. You could negotiate and bring down the price, but if the other party only put in minimal effort after arriving, it was still their loss in the end.

"What about the Second Order Mutated Beings? Do you still need to invite them?" Ye Feng subdued his emotions and asked with some anticipation.

"Of course, we are planning to spend 800 million Huaxia Currency to invite 400 Second Order Mutated Animals to assist in battle, hoping to select those with stronger combat power," Zhang Ji explained.

"Certainly no problem, you can freely choose whichever Mutated Animals you want to assist in the battle. The total cost combined would be 1.55 billion Huaxia Currency," Ye Feng said, feeling his heart uncontrollably racing by the end of the sentence.

This was simply an enormous windfall!

With that 1.55 billion in hand, he could even purchase five or six hundred Mutated Tigers and Mutated Lions at once.

At that point, the overall strength of the Dragon Hall could potentially double.

Subsequently, the two parties conversed pleasantly, and under Ye Feng’s leadership, Zhang Ji began selecting 400 Second Order Mutated Animals.

Of these, he picked half of the flying animals and half of the terrestrial animals.

Of course, the range available for flying animals was very small. After selecting 5 Mutated Eagles, and then 95 Mutated Bats and 100 Mutated Black Crows, Zhang Ji finished his selection.

However, when choosing the terrestrial animals, Zhang Ji realized that their previous concerns were completely unnecessary. Initially, they had thought that if there were not enough Mutated Animals, they would have to make do with Mutated Dogs.

But now, they found this to be completely unnecessary.

The number of Mutated Animals in the Dragon Hall was greater than they had imagined, even causing Zhang Ji to feel a bit dazzled. After much consideration, he finally made his decision.

He chose 30 Mutated Siberian Tigers, 30 Mutated Asian Lions, 25 Mutated African Elephants, 25 Mutated White Rhinos, 25 Mutated Hippos, and 20 Brown Bears.

Altogether, that made up 155 Mutated Animals.

And for the last 45, he decided to go with all Mutated Buffalos after some thought.

"Alright, when do you need these Mutated Animals? They can be moved at any time," said the Mutated Parrot.

"Cough cough! No need to rush, you can come over after the mutated beings crisis erupts, it won’t be too late then," Zhang Ji said in haste.

What a joke, so many mutated animals, if they were to enter Yang City now, it would definitely cause huge chaos.

"Okay! Then I’ll have them go over tonight," Ye Feng nodded and said.

Upon hearing Ye Feng say this, Zhang Ji was first startled, but quickly grasped the situation and with a change in expression, he asked, "You mean, those mutated insects are going to attack tonight?"

"Yes! There’s a very high possibility they will launch an attack, but don’t worry, I believe it’s just the vanguard, and the numbers won’t be too many," Ye Feng explained.

He had been keeping an eye on the movements of those mutated insects, so he was pretty clear about their movements.

A small part of the mutated insects had already approached to within less than 5 kilometers from Yang City.

Moreover, Ye Feng could sense with his spiritual power that the desire of these mutated insects to attack was very strong, and they were very likely to launch an attack tonight.

However, since this group of mutated insects was a bit detached from the main force, he referred to them as the vanguard.

Zhang Ji’s complexion changed repeatedly, and after thanking Ye Feng, he quickly left; this intelligence was very important, and he needed to report it immediately.

Watching the other party leave, Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then controlled the mutated parrot to return to Sunset Valley.

He switched the possession status back to his own body and then opened the system panel to have a look.

His Evolution Points had reached the maximum value of 2000 points this morning, following his allocation.

This meant he could choose to break through at any time now.

For the sake of prudence, Ye Feng didn’t wait any longer and chose to break through right away.

"Ding! Please select the direction of enhancement."

When Ye Feng broke through to the mid-stage and later stage, he had enhanced his root strength and agility, respectively.

This time, Ye Feng chose to strengthen the toughness of his tree roots.

As he made his choice, more than 2000 points of the Power of Evolution surged into his tree body, initiating the breakthrough.

At this moment, the sky, unbeknownst to when, had become overcast with clouds, and then a torrential downpour began, completely concealing the noise of Ye Feng’s breakthrough.

With Ye Feng’s breakthrough to the Fifth Order, his tree body now exceeded 2000 meters in height, and using dense fog to hide his form seemed to be like burying one’s head in the sand; it would look quite odd.

After all, a sudden appearance of a dense fog over 2000 meters high wouldn’t be much different from directly telling others that there was an abnormal situation here.

Thus, with no lack of the Power of Faith, Ye Feng chose a different approach.

That was to summon dark clouds and then cause a torrential downpour.

In this way, it could also obstruct the satellite overhead and the sight of others, while also appearing very natural.

If there was any downside, it was undoubtedly that the Power of Faith was depleting too fast.

Although summoning clouds to bring rain was not an offensive move and consumed much less, the scope of Ye Feng’s control was too large; he estimated that by the time his breakthrough was complete, at least twenty to thirty thousand points of the Power of Faith would be consumed.

This rate of consumption was hundreds of times higher compared to creating dense fog.
