Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 247 - 181: Fourth Order Special Ability, Strength Skyrockets_2

Chapter 247: Chapter 181: Fourth Order Special Ability, Strength Skyrockets_2

However, under the pressure of fighting like a cornered beast, Big Yellow Dog also unleashed a combat power that caught Ye Feng’s attention.

With every swipe of its claws, the red-energy-imbued talons could leave a wound over ten centimeters deep on his tree roots.

This striking power was directly more than tenfold of Wind Blade, and Ye Feng had no doubt that if it struck any other Fourth Order Mutated Creature, even bones could be severed.

Of course, the strongest aspect of Big Yellow Dog’s attack wasn’t its claws but those sharp fangs. One bite could leave a half-meter-deep mark in his roots. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Such attacking power probably reached the peak among Fourth Order animals.

Of course, if there was a downside, it was that Big Yellow Dog’s size was too small, so each wound it inflicted wasn’t large enough to kill a same-level creature instantly.

Apart from that, Big Yellow Dog’s defensive power was also quite poor. If one of Ye Feng’s tree roots struck the dog, it could instantly be whipped away and continuously cough up blood.

Of course, this was also related to each of Ye Feng’s tree roots being able to burst with a force of 20 tons.

If Big Yellow Dog faced other Fourth Order Mutated Beings with non-exceptionally-strong attack power, it might still be able to withstand a hit or two.

After testing all three Mutated Animals, Ye Feng was quite satisfied with their combat power.

At this time, his attention shifted to the other Mutated Animals.

The remaining Mutated Buffalo, Mutated Black Crows, Mutated Bats, Mutated Mouse, and two Mutated Sparrows had all been forcefully elevated through the Evolution Fruit.

He was curious whether they would possess special abilities after breaking through to the Fourth Order.

Or was it that special abilities were exclusive to those Mutated Beings with innate talent capable of breaking through on their own?

Ye Feng waited for a moment, and the Mutated Mouse was the first to complete its breakthrough.

The Fourth Order Mutated Mouse had grown to the size of a normal person.

Seeing the mouse, which had originally been only the size of a palm, grow to the size of a normal person after four breakthroughs, Ye Feng felt quite mixed, even though he had anticipated this.

He immediately adjusted his mindset and communicated a thought through the contract, asking if the mouse had gained any new abilities after breaking through to the Fourth Order.

The Mutated Mouse seemed somewhat dazed as it stood still. Just when Ye Feng thought it hadn’t awakened any special abilities, a rich wave of Spiritual Energy surged around it.

Spiritual Energy spread outward from within the Mutated Mouse’s body and eventually attached to its surface.

"Huh!" Ye Feng was a bit surprised.

He immediately asked the Mutated Mouse to demonstrate.

Soon, he discovered that, in this state, the Mutated Mouse’s speed, strength, agility, and reaction time had all improved.

Of course, the enhancement wasn’t significant, roughly a 50% increase, but it could still be considered a type of special ability.

Soon, the Mutated Buffalo, Mutated Black Crow, Mutated Bat, and Mutated Sparrow also broke through to the Fourth Order, one after another. Ye Feng had them showcase their abilities and discovered they were all the same as the Mutated Mouse.

All of them released Spiritual Energy from within to enhance themselves on the surface.

Ye Feng researched further and found that this way of manifesting was very similar to special abilities.

Because whether it was the Hurricane released by the Mutated Eagle or the red energy unleashed by Big Yellow Dog, both required the consumption of Spiritual Energy.

It’s just that during the release of Spiritual Energy, a unique change occurred, resulting in different forms of manifestation.

But when he researched the Mutated Wolf King, his expression became troubled with doubt and uncertainty.

Because the Mutated Wolf King consumed spiritual power, not internal Spiritual Energy, to use its special abilities.

Did this mean that if it could control the Spiritual Energy within its body and attach it to its surface, it could achieve an amplified effect similar to that of the Mutated Mouse?

Moreover, it wasn’t just the Mutated Wolf King. Ye Feng’s Ability to Control Heaven and Earth also worked this way.

When he used the Ability to Control Heaven and Earth, what he consumed was the elusive Power of Faith.

As for the vast amount of Spiritual Energy within him, not a bit of it was expended.

Ye Feng felt a surge of excitement at the thought. If his idea could ultimately be confirmed, his combat power would unquestionably jump significantly.

Next, he began to experiment, possessing various animals including the Mutated Mouse, Mutated Buffalo, Mutated Sparrow, and Mutated Black Crow, repeatedly feeling the process of their release of Spiritual Energy.

Leveraging his formidable spiritual power, after nearly an hour of exploration, Ye Feng finally began to attempt it on his own.

The process was quick. After just half an hour of trying, a thick aura of Spiritual Energy appeared on the surface of one of his roots.

The intensity and concentration of the Spiritual Energy he released far surpassed that of the Mutated Mouse and others.

Moreover, the enhancement of strength, speed, defensive power, and so on had risen from the original 50% to 100%.

Ye Feng estimated that this was because of his Fifth Order status; the amplification of the Spiritual Energy he released was naturally incomparable to that of the Fourth Order.

He also gave this ability a simple and straightforward name: Spiritual Attachment.

Creatures of the Fourth Order using Spiritual Attachment achieved a 50% enhancement, while those of the Fifth Order could reach 100%. Ye Feng even started to wonder if there were any limits to the ability of Spiritual Attachment.

Knowing that percentage-based enhancement is terrifying for the strong.

Take him for example, his current root strength stood at 20 tons. With a 100% boost, it shot straight up to 40 tons.

If all roots were combined, they could exceed an exaggerated 20,000 tons.

Beyond that, after doubling his speed, when he sparred again with Big Yellow Dog, he managed to completely suppress it using only 20 roots.

"Not bad, not bad!" Ye Feng couldn’t be more satisfied with the ability of Spiritual Attachment.

Then, his gaze couldn’t help but fall on the Mutated Wolf King.

If the Mutated Wolf King could also learn Spiritual Attachment, then it would effectively possess Dual Abilities, and its potential would be significant under such circumstances.

As good as the idea was, the process of teaching the other party was not so easy.

Despite the Mutated Wolf King’s intelligence, explaining to it how to utilize and mobilize Spiritual Energy was quite a challenge.

Even after Ye Feng had possessed it and released Spiritual Attachment a few times, the Mutated Wolf King had yet to master it.

Ye Feng thought it over and realized that rushing wouldn’t help. He planned to possess the Wolf King once or twice a day to demonstrate. He believed that even a pig could eventually learn if shown enough times.

The overall strength of Dragon Hall had increased once more, and Ye Feng felt that it was time to make another attempt at resolving the Forbidden Zone issue.

This time, unlike his previous attempts, he planned to go in with his real body.

Of course, it would just be his roots.

Sunset Valley was less than 8 kilometers from Small Feng Mountain, and over the past few days, he had completed the Fifth Order Peak enhancement, extending his roots by another 2,000 meters.

His roots’ total length had now reached 15.5 kilometers, more than enough to enter the Forbidden Zone. However, he preferred to be fully prepared, so he decided to hold off and play it safe for the time being.

It’s worth mentioning that even under the attack of the Mutated Insects in Yang City, the military forces there still retained a missile team that bombed Small Phoenix Mountain every day.

So, several days had passed, and the scope of the Forbidden Zone had not expanded by much.

Ye Feng thought for a moment and controlled the Mutated Parrot to fly towards Yang City.

Bai Yinghui had talked to him about improving the Earth-penetrating Bomb, and now that several days had passed, it was time to check on the progress.

...

By then, the sun had already set below the horizon, and the entire Yang City was brightly lit, with bustling streets that didn’t look at all like a city recovering from war but rather seemed to be thriving more than ever.

In fact, that was indeed the case. In just two days, Yang City had seen its population swell by a staggering 10 million due to the influx of people.

And that wasn’t all. If one were to look down from the sky, they would see that the main roads leading to Yang City were lined with caravans filled with people drawing closer.

Clearly, the migration of people had not yet ended and seemed to grow more and more exaggerated.
