Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 290 - 203: The Gathering of Ancient Divine Spirits_2

Chapter 290: Chapter 203: The Gathering of Ancient Divine Spirits_2

He really feared that the other side had some unknown method to absorb even the corpses outside the forbidden zone.

While Ye Feng cleaned up the battlefield, Bai Yinghui hurried over to find the Mutated Parrot, "Parrot Messenger, could you contact the Dragon King and leave some corpses for us to research?"

At this moment, Ye Feng’s roots had transformed back into the shape of the Dense Fog Giant Scaled Dragon, its tail resting on the corpses, which would disappear completely in just a few seconds.

This unhidden method also quickly let the military side know that the withering of the corpses just now was not caused by any poison, but by the Dragon King’s special method.

Seeing the corpses getting fewer, Bai Yinghui then hurried over.

"Sure, how many do you need?" Ye Feng said offhandedly.

"Can we have five of both the beast corpses and the skeletal creatures?" Bai Yinghui inquired.

Ye Feng was about to say no problem, but after surveying the area with spiritual power, he found, somewhat embarrassingly, that he apparently... couldn’t provide them.

"There’s no issue with the skeletal creatures, not just five, even if you take away fifty, it wouldn’t be a problem, but as for the beast corpses, there are only three and a half left," Ye Feng said, clearing his throat.

It was three and a half cobbled together from various parts.

After all, he had been devouring the beast corpses while fighting, and by the time the battle was over, he had devoured almost nine out of ten of them.

Moreover, he had just been frantically devouring again. If Bai Yinghui had arrived even ten seconds later, there probably wouldn’t have been a single one left.

Hearing this, Bai Yinghui was also somewhat startled, but looking around the battlefield, the beast corpses that used to be everywhere seemed indeed to have vanished.

"Uh... then let it be three and a half beast corpses, please," Bai Yinghui quickly said.

With no corpses left, what else could he say? Moreover, given the strength displayed by the Dragon King, even if they didn’t contribute anything, his side wouldn’t dare to turn hostile!

But when Bai Yinghui saw the beast corpses a few minutes later, he still fell silent.

These corpses were far from intact; even those that were half left were few, some were just a head, and others just a hand or a leg. These three and a half corpses were pieced together from ten beasts.

However, the skeletal creatures were indeed mostly complete, and Ye Feng was indeed generous, dragging over fifty corpses with the Dense Fog Giant Scaled Dragon just as he had said.

After all, these creatures had no spiritual energy in them, only digestible as bioenergy, which he didn’t lack at all.

What more could Bai Yinghui say to that! He could only express his thanks.

And even the Fifth Order Skeletal Creatures had significant research value for them.

"By the way, how are your casualties?" Ye Feng casually asked.

On hearing this question, Bai Yinghui’s mood turned less pleasant.

"The casualties are quite severe, with a total of 25,300 people injured or killed. Among them, 4,253 have died, and 8,593 are seriously injured," Bai Yinghui reported somberly.

Ye Feng silently nodded, realizing that this was actually not bad. If it weren’t for the nearly 4 million points of Power of Faith he had spent on rescue efforts, the number of deaths could have likely increased tenfold without surprise.

"Parrot Messenger, do you think this battle is over?" After a brief silence, Bai Yinghui couldn’t help but ask.

"I guess it is over. It must have cost them a lot to bring out their Seventh Order creatures. It’s unlikely they can come out again."

"But you still need to prepare," Ye Feng said, his voice somewhat heavy as he gazed toward the direction of the forbidden zone.

The enemy’s assaults would only get stronger with each wave. Previously, Seventh Order Creatures had emerged; if they continued to attack, then definitely more than one Seventh Order Creature would come next.

If it really came to that point, even he was not sure if he could win.

Bai Yinghui just nodded gravely, not saying anything more, and returned quickly to the command vehicle.

Meanwhile, the military side was not idle, swiftly treating the wounded while building fortifications.

There was not much to say about treating the wounded; it was all standard procedure, the only difference being that they now had Life Essence.

Many who were critically injured could now be saved, which was undoubtedly good news. As long as they didn’t die on the spot, they could gradually recover after the battle.

As for constructing fortifications, the military was investing a lot of effort this time.

After truly witnessing the power of the forbidden zone, the military immediately raised the danger level by two grades. This place would be built into a semi-permanent fortification.

In the future, the provincial military command would station more than ten divisions of troops here permanently.

Of course, whatever they were doing, they would occasionally glance in the direction of the forbidden zone, worried that more terrifying monsters might surge out.

...

Different Space.

Tian Yun and Ling, both kneeling on one knee before Qiongqi’s stone sculpture, didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

Just now, Tian Yun had recounted the entire incident, but a whole minute had passed without any response from Qiongqi, although the aura emanating from it was growing stronger.

Crack crack!

The stone on Qiongqi’s body fell off as it once again freed itself from the seal. Its eyes, filled with rage, stared at the two of them.

It really wanted to slap them both to death, but considering its limited number of Seventh Order subordinates, it restrained itself and slowly uttered two words.

"Trash!"

The next moment, a dense black fog erupted from its body, enveloping Tian Yun and Ling completely.

A look of terror flashed across the faces of both, yet they dared not resist.

Soon, the black fog rang with their suppressed cries of agony.

The fog shrouded the two for nearly a minute before it gradually dispersed.

By then, their bodies had been corroded by the black fog to a state of riddled holes, their vitality greatly weakened.

"If you prove to be such trash again next time, you’ll come to see me with your heads. Now, get back," it said, as the formation beneath them activated and two crystal coffins emerged.

Seeing this, Tian Yun and Ling exchanged glances, both letting out a long sigh of relief.

This matter, at last, was over. novelbuddy.cσ๓

They quickly entered the crystal coffins and then, along with the formation, vanished into the void.

At that moment, Qiongqi lifted its right paw, within which a black fog swirled, containing a dense Rule Power and Life Energy.

This was recently stripped from Tian Yun and Ling.

"Still not enough!"

Qiongqi’s gaze fell upon the Skeleton Army, and then a black fog erupted from its body. Soon, injured skeletal creatures were engulfed by the fog and let out pained screams.

This spectacle scared the beasts and the remaining skeletal creatures into trembling, lying prostrate on the ground.

Finally, after nearly devouring 10,000 wounded skeletal creatures, the black fog ceased.

"This should be almost enough!" it whispered softly, then instructed the skeletal creatures and beasts to continue sleeping.

It then moved to a peripheral area of the Different Space.

There, a special formation lay hidden.

Nearly all the energy it had collected was poured into this formation before it slowly activated.

Seeing this, Qiongqi immediately sent a stream of spiritual power into the formation.

At the same time, in various interdimensional spaces around the world, powerful beings that were either in self-imposed exile or awake slowly opened their eyes.

...

In a realm of void, suddenly, various figures materialized out of thin air.

There were giants made of lava, pure white six-winged angels, as well as human-shaped beings made up of countless tentacles.

Here, Qiongqi’s tiger-like body with wings on its back didn’t seem out of place at all.

Soon, a total of nine powerful creatures appeared in the gathering, and upon emerging, their eyes involuntarily fell upon Qiongqi.

"Qiongqi, I never expected it would be you to initiate the assembly," remarked the six-winged angel.

"No need for such hypocritical pleasantries. Firing up the Void Array is costly, what brings this about?" asked the Lava Giant, apparently the most irascible, cutting straight to the point.
