Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 335 - 224: Terrified Spotted Tiger_2

Apart from that, being short of this cultivation time will also lead to an unstable foundation, and trying to break through to higher realms will become very difficult in the future.

Of course, all these no longer concerned Ye Feng, as there are always going to be sacrifices when saving the flora and fauna of the entire world.

It didn’t take long for Ye Feng to produce them—a total of 34 Fourth Order Evolution Fruits.

To make an Evolution Fruit at this level, each required spending 20,000 Spirit Points and Bioenergy, costing Ye Feng a total of 680,000 Spirit Points.

It’s just that he is now financially well-endowed; if it had been the past, it would have caused him distress for a long time.

Of course, these were only Fourth Order Evolution Fruits. If it were a Fifth Order Evolution Fruit, making just one would require as much as 400,000 Spirit Points, which would definitely cost him his life.

Once Ye Feng had everything prepared, all was left was to wait.

The military didn’t keep him waiting too long, for just half an hour later, they contacted him.

They had located 3 Peak Fourth Order Mutated Creatures, all within Donghai Province.

Such speed could be described as incredibly swift, but Ye Feng also understood that this was just the beginning.

Because the military was extremely attentive to Mutated Beings of Fourth Order and above, and even Yang City had its own list of dangerous Mutated Beings!

Even though due to his actions, this list was now directly abolished, it doesn’t mean other cities didn’t have one.

Even if the military couldn’t monitor the movements of these Mutated Animals in real-time, they certainly knew roughly where they usually were active. All they needed was to dispatch reconnaissance drones and search over a vast area following these clues.

Ye Feng quickly recalled the Mutated Eagles and, carrying three Evolution Fruits along with the 1,000 Mutated Eagles that had all broken through to Third Order, he set off at high speed.

The regular flight speed of the Mutated Eagles had now reached supersonic, and using abilities to accelerate further, they could even surpass twice the speed of sound.

Without waiting for others of their kind, the Mutated Eagles, at their top speed, reached the vicinity of the first target in just a dozen minutes or so.

It was a Spotted Tiger at the Peak Fourth Order, which was currently lying on a patch of grass. Around the grassland, there were the corpses of a dozen or so Mutated Animals, both big and small.

Moreover, the blood on some carcasses had not even coagulated yet, which obviously meant these animals were hunted by it not long ago.

At this moment, the quite intelligent Spotted Tiger looked up at the sky, feeling the cold currents between Heaven and Earth that were still strengthening, with a look of worry in its tiger eyes.

Its animal instincts told it that this sudden onset of winter was very unusual, and it might even threaten its life.

That’s why it had hunted so many animals as preparation to store food for the winter.

Just as it was pondering whether to continue hunting more food, it seemed to sense something and turned its gaze toward the south.

Its nearly 30-meter-long body stood up, and the aura of a Peak Fourth Order creature rose from its body, causing all the insects in the woods to fall silent.

Roar!

It let out an intimidating roar, as if warning the creature in the sky not to come any closer.

Although it felt that the aura emanating from the other was not as strong as its own, there was nothing it could do about the enemy in the sky unless they were very close.

However, the other party clearly ignored its warnings and threats, speeding straight toward it and in the blink of an eye, hovered 200 meters above its head.

Seeing the giant eagle above, especially the surrounding hurricane, the Spotted Tiger carried a wary look in its eyes.

It knew very well that both were beings of the same level. Although the other’s aura was not as strong as its own, with the Mutated Eagle holding the advantage of the sky, if a battle ensued, it would be at a disadvantage.

As it was on high alert, the Mutated Eagle in the sky let out a piercing scream.

Although there was no way to communicate in language between different species, it was still possible to discern between simple goodwill and malice.

At this moment, it sensed goodwill from the cry of the Mutated Eagle.

Just when it was puzzled about what the other party intended, suddenly something fell from the sky.

Although the object wasn’t falling fast and was quite small, not posing any threat, the Spotted Tiger still moved in a flash and positioned itself a hundred meters away.

Just as it started to feel annoyed, it noticed that the Mutated Eagle had flown away, and the object it had dropped had fallen onto the lawn.

The object posed no danger and even shattered straight away upon impact.

Instantly, a strange scent wafted from it, spreading through the air.

The surrounding Mutated Insects, originally trembling, were lured by the smell as if they had lost their minds, and rushed frantically towards the fruit that had split in half.

Roar!

However, the Spotted Tiger returned faster than all the Mutated Insects, its released pressure directly knocking them unconscious.

The Spotted Tiger circled the crystal-clear fruit several times, droplets of saliva falling from its sharp fangs.

It had an intuition that eating this thing would bring tremendous benefits.

Even every cell in its body seemed to be urging it to eat it swiftly.

Nevertheless, as a Fourth Order Mutated Creature with intelligence, it felt something was amiss, very amiss.

Why would the other party give such a great thing to it?

But even though it felt there was a problem, driven by instinct, it still moved over, then shot out a sharp claw, snipped off a tiny crystal-clear piece of the fruit, and put it in its mouth.

Even if the fruit were poisonous, it believed that such a tiny amount couldn’t possibly kill it.

However, as the fruit flesh entered its mouth, turned into an incredibly pure energy, and permeated its body, its instincts finally overpowered its reason.

In one big gulp, it bit the fruit along with the soil, chewing and swallowing it frenziedly.

The next moment, the aura on its body climbed steadily, signaling an imminent breakthrough.

At this time, the Spotted Tiger somewhat sobered up, feeling the state of its own body with both joy and anxiety.

The joy was naturally because of the terrifying energy contained in the fruit, which could actually initiate a breakthrough—something it had longed for.

And with greater strength after the breakthrough, it would have a better chance of safely getting through this harsh winter.

But the anxiety also concerned the breakthrough.

Because during the breakthrough, its condition would be poor. Although it wouldn’t faint like in the past due to its current Realm, if faced with danger, it could probably only exhibit two or three-tenths of its combat power.

In such a state, facing a fellow Fourth Order creature would be dangerous, let alone coming across Third Order Mutated Creatures.

Normally, if it sensed an impending breakthrough, it would hunker down in a safe place first and eliminate any threatening presence in the vicinity before confidently making the breakthrough.

But this breakthrough was too sudden, not giving it any time to prepare.

Just as it planned to return to its usual hiding spot, it suddenly looked up in shock towards the sky.

The Mutated Eagle had returned at some point.

At this moment, the Spotted Tiger seemed to understand everything. No wonder the other party had given it such good stuff—it was waiting for it to be vulnerable during the breakthrough to launch a sneak attack!

The Spotted Tiger let out an angry roar, venting the fury in its heart.

The Mutated Eagle in the sky also issued a cry, but within its voice, there still seemed to be a friendly intent.

The Spotted Tiger tilted its head, somewhat puzzled.

But it was then that it sensed something else, turned its head towards the distant sky, and its pupils suddenly dilated.

It saw a vast flock of eagles hurtling directly towards it.

What baffled it the most was that all these Mutated Eagles emanated an aura of the Third Order.
