Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 270 - 193: The Honey Badger’s Special Ability_2

He promptly issued a command to the missile troops, and soon 30 cruise missiles loaded with Thermostatic Shells soared into the sky.

Ye Feng watched the scene quietly, curious to know how Qiongqi intended to counter the threat of the Thermostatic Shells.

At this moment, nearly all creatures within the restricted area had ceased charging outwards, especially the Sixth Order Beasts, who looked up at the sky in unison.

Ye Feng could even observe that while many of the beasts wore expressions of fear, even more appeared ferocious.

But regardless of the emotions they displayed, not a single beast was going to sit around and wait for death.

They began to channel their Spiritual Energy with all their might, their Spiritual Armor growing thicker on their bodies, while a fluorescent light also started to emerge on their claws.

Seeing this, Ye Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He already knew what these beasts intended to do.

Clearly, they were planning to intercept the missiles using their ability to project Spiritual Energy externally.

But could they really accomplish that?

Faced with cruise missiles reaching eight times the speed of sound and equipped with Trajectory Changing Technique, Ye Feng himself, unless he used spiritual power, found it difficult to lock onto the missile’s path, let alone intercept it.

Beyond that, there was another issue, which was the distance of the Spiritual Energy projection.

When these beasts intercepted the mortars and High Energy Bombs just now, the maximum range of their external Spiritual Energy attacks was no more than 50 meters.

Such a distance could indeed preemptively detonate the mortars or High Energy Bombs to avoid the core blast range.

But applying that distance to Thermostatic Shells would be a bit of a joke; whether detonated or not, it made no real difference.

These thoughts had barely flashed through Ye Feng’s mind when the cruise missiles had already arrived less than 3,000 meters above the restricted area.

At this distance, to eight times the speed of sound cruise missiles, it would take just over one second to reach.

It was at this moment that almost everyone could see the over five hundred ferocious beasts below, almost all of them swinging their claws at this time.

Streaks of what seemed like solid fluorescent light flashed by, shooting straight up into the high sky.

Seeing this, Ye Feng showed a hint of surprise.

His spiritual power had been covering the entire field, so he could "see" everything very clearly. These Sixth Order beasts released Spiritual Energy attacks that were like cannonballs, moving at incredible speeds, reaching as much as twice the speed of sound.

And not just fast, the distance they traveled was also significant. Their "Spirit Balls" shot out nearly 200 meters before they gradually began to weaken.

Ye Feng estimated that before these Spirit Balls completely lost their strength, they could even fly out a distance of over a kilometer.

Of course, the farther they flew, the weaker their power became, probably after nine hundred meters, they wouldn’t even be able to kill First Order Mutated Creatures.

But the point was, their goal was only to prematurely detonate those missiles. They didn’t require much power at all.

Of course, these Spirit Balls didn’t actually fly a distance of over a kilometer because the further the Spirit Ball flew, the lower the probability of hitting the missiles would be.

Thus, these Sixth Order beasts intended to intercept the missiles within a range of five to six hundred meters in the air.

Ye Feng had to admit, these Sixth Order beasts, whether in judgment or timing, managed very well indeed.

The only thing beyond their expectations might have been the flight speed of the cruise missiles and that unpredictable Trajectory Changing Technique.

The Spiritual Energy attacks released by these beasts almost all missed their mark.

Why say ’almost’? Because there were indeed Spiritual Energy attacks that hit the cruise missiles.

In fact, such an interception rate was very low, with only about a 2% chance of successfully intercepting a missile.

However, given the sheer number of Sixth Order Ferocious Beasts present, even a 2% chance was enough for them to intercept 10 cruise missiles.

Of course, the remaining 20 Thermostatic Shells, falling into the restricted area, were terrifying enough to cover almost all places except for the edges of the restricted area.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of deafening roars sounded, and on the ground, a full twenty mushroom clouds rose into the sky.

In this moment, cries of agony rose up.

Yes, unlike those Skeleton Creatures, which were simply crushed to death.

The Sixth Order Beasts, even when struck by Thermostatic Shells, did not die on the spot.

Their Spiritual Armor on the surface of their bodies blocked a great deal of damage, and coupled with their tough flesh, they actually had a certain ability to resist.

The terrifying shockwave and high temperature and pressure wreaked havoc in the restricted area for nearly a minute before gradually subsiding.

At that time, all of those Fifth Order Skeletal Creatures in the restricted area had unsurprisingly died, but of the more than 500 ferocious beasts, more than 100 with strong defensive power were shakily standing.

Although their bodies were charred and blackened, with many deep, bone-deep wounds, and even many of the ferocious beasts had their innards falling out, they were still alive.

The military leaders, upon witnessing this scene, had eyes filled with disbelief.

You should know, the Thermostatic Shell is known as a sub-nuclear weapon.

It is the most terrifying existence among all the conventional weapons of humanity.

But these Sixth Order Ferocious Beasts, they actually withstood it and did not die.

This kind of impact even caused some military officers’ convictions to waver.

If Thermostatic Shells couldn’t kill them in one hit, how were they supposed to fight in the future? Would they have to resort to nuclear weapons every time?

If that were the case, even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

Moreover, if you think deeper, if Sixth Order can withstand Thermostatic Shells, then would Seventh Order be able to survive nuclear bombs?

If such a thing really happened, then what would become of humanity’s future?

Of course, this pessimistic mood didn’t last long, because the situation simply didn’t allow for it.

Those severely injured Sixth Order Ferocious Beasts, as they absorbed the Spiritual Energy around them, the flesh and blood at their wounds was also squirming and regenerating.

If left undisturbed, these beasts would likely recover in an hour or two.

"Order the artillery battalion to bombard at full force, and make sure they are all dead before they recover," Bai Yinghui roared into the walkie-talkie.

The shelling, which had paused for a moment, began to rain down from the sky once again.

But this time, those severely injured Sixth Order Ferocious Beasts, facing the bombardment of mortars and High Energy Bombs, no longer had the composure they had before.

They began to dodge in a miserable manner, but the shells were too dense, and with almost all their Spiritual Energy depleted, they could not use Spiritual Energy attacks.

Under these circumstances, it didn’t take long for some beasts to be hit by the shells.

Then, their wounds were torn apart, and blood flowed freely.

At this point, not to mention the mortars and High Energy Bombs, even just a random hand grenade could inflict serious injury on them.

These formerly formidable Sixth Order Ferocious Beasts had become extremely vulnerable.

Not a single one of them could survive being hit by 5 shells, and many of them, after just one or two hits, fell and did not get up again.

In just three minutes, under the dense bombardment, these more than 100 Sixth Order Beasts had all perished.

But at this moment, no one could feel happy, their expressions were even more solemn than before.

Because after the second round of Thermostatic Shell bombardment, no more creatures were coming out of the portals.

Clearly, the opponent was not scared. If they really were, they wouldn’t have continued to send troops after the first bombardment.

After the first round of bombardment, the enemy sent Sixth Order Beasts; now, after the second round of bombardment, what would they send next?

They were not making wild guesses, as the first and second rounds of attacks, thinking back, seemed like probing attacks.

Though these kinds of probing attacks were so extravagant that they were hard to believe.

But if you set aside their power and Realm, judging purely from their tactics, these indeed were probing attacks.
