Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 334 - 224: Terrified Spotted Tiger_1

Hearing Elder Guo’s explanation, everyone nodded in understanding.

Indeed, compared to the global extinction of flora and fauna, experiencing another crisis from mutated beings was hardly anything new.

Moreover, this was a journey they were destined to take sooner or later; it was just happening a bit earlier. Although time was still scarce for them, it was sufficient.

And compared to before, they now had not only city walls but also many more evolutionists.

During the initial mutant insect crisis, they had no experience and were even unclear on how to fully leverage the advantages of evolutionists.

Now, these situations have undeniably undergone a radical change.

Take Yang City, for example, the number of evolutionists has now reached a staggering 10,000, and a significant portion of them have broken through to the Mid Stage First Order.

Besides, they were also armed with heavy weaponry such as the Destroyer Hand Cannon. This army of 10,000 could sweep through any battlefield they were placed on.

Even if another crisis from mutated beings were to occur, even without the help of Dragon Hall, they were confident they could withstand it on their own.

So, after Elder Guo spoke, the group quickly reached a consensus.

"Alright, if no one has any objections, then I’ll communicate with the various military districts to dispatch reconnaissance drones for a thorough search," Elder Guo said, looking around at everyone.

At that moment, the provincial leader Tang Chaosheng cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I have one more concern."

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze naturally shifted towards him.

"Should we make this public? I mean the other countries. If we get them to help search for Peak Fourth Order Mutated Creatures, I believe it would take less than an hour or two to find them all with the intelligence pooled together," said Tang Chaosheng.

His suggestion clearly threw everyone into deep thought, the advantage of doing so was obvious—it would be faster, and they would have to expend much less effort.

But the disadvantages were also non-negligible...

Everyone’s gaze fell on Elder Guo once more, and he said with a smile, "I’ve considered this issue before, but I think it’s best not to go through with it."

"First, the number of mutated creatures we are looking for is not large. If it’s only about 34, relying on our country’s military strength, we can find them all in at most one day."

"Second, I do not wish to let other countries know that Dragon King has the ability to understand the process of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence and even control it to some extent."

"So, we can’t just announce it like that. One must know the value of intelligence is sometimes very expensive."

After hearing this, everyone, including Tang Chaosheng, nodded in agreement. He had just raised a question; as for such strategic considerations on a national level, they were not his to be concerned about.

The meeting was quickly concluded.

Ye Feng, who had been covertly listening to the meeting using his spiritual power, nodded in satisfaction with the outcome.

If they could find all 34 Peak Fourth Order Mutated Creatures within a day, he found it entirely acceptable.

As for the mutated animal crisis everyone was worried about, Ye Feng felt that it might be an overthought.

The last time, the mutant insect crisis erupted not long after the Spiritual Energy Resurgence, mainly because the insects had experienced a large-scale breakthrough, resulting in soaring strength and inflated confidence, coupled with the guidance of the will of Heaven and Earth, forming a spontaneous hunting behavior towards weaker beings.

Now, even if the fourth Spiritual Energy Resurgence was happening prematurely, the vast majority of mutant insects were still only at the Middle of the Second Order, and it would take at least two months for a large-scale breakthrough to the Third Order.

Hence, the military had plenty of time to prepare.

After the meeting, Ye Feng took the time to visit Bai Yinghui to inform him that they didn’t need to worry about the crisis from mutated beings.

Upon receiving this answer, Bai Yinghui and the others were first surprised, then overjoyed.

With this issue off their minds, they had no more concerns about the Fourth Spiritual Energy Resurgence.

If the military didn’t need to focus on defensive measures, they could also allocate more people to search for Peak Fourth Order Mutated Animals.

After giving one last reminder, Ye Feng began to prepare for the Evolution Fruit of the Fourth Order.

Yes, Ye Feng planned to use the Evolution Fruit of the Fourth Order to force a quick breakthrough for those Peak Fourth Order Mutated Animals.

Evolution Fruits possessed a compulsory breakthrough capability; once an entity reached the Peak of the Fourth Order, the Power of Evolution contained within the fruit could assist it to break through to the Fifth Order.

Of course, there was a catch.

If a mutated animal had just progressed from the Late Stage Fourth Order to Peak Fourth Order, and another had touched the bottleneck to the Fifth Order, the same usage of the Evolution Fruit would have different outcomes.

If one touched the bottleneck to the Fifth Order but couldn’t break through on its own, using the Evolution Fruit to assist would pose no problem as the fruit would simply help to shatter that bottleneck.

However, if one had just moved from Late Stage Fourth Order to Peak Fourth Order and was still far from the bottleneck to the Fifth Order, consuming an Evolution Fruit would still guarantee a breakthrough.

But since the animal had practiced less than others of the same realm, its strength after reaching the Fifth Order would be comparatively weaker.
