Chapter 342: Chapter 228 The Beginning of Spiritual Energy Resurgence, The Shock of Qiongqi_1

When the final Fourth Order Peak Poison Spider also consumed the Evolution Fruit, the time was quickly approaching 6 a.m.

By now, the cloud cover above Yang City had been cleared away by Ye Feng.

The first rays of the sun shone through the gap in the clouds, and the entire Yang City seemed to awaken. Many people began to get out of bed, preparing to welcome the new day.

However, there was no sense of relaxation at the temporary military camp on the airport.

Because their mission was not yet over.

A breakthrough from Fourth Order Mutated Creatures to Fifth Order required at least five hours.

So no one dared to relax, fearing that all their efforts might be in vain at the last moment.

It wasn’t just here; military districts across the country were closely watching the event and had made preparations to provide support at any time.

Time continued to pass, five hours neither long nor short.

In the nervous and anxious wait of the crowd, the time reached 11 a.m.

By then, Ye Feng had closed his eyes and, using his Ability to Control Heaven and Earth, sensed that there were already 99 Fifth Order Mutated Beings born around the world, with only the last one remaining to trigger the Spiritual Energy Resurgence.

The last one yet to complete the breakthrough was that colorful Mutated Poisonous Spider.

Whether it was due to being a Mutated Insect causing its constitution to be different, its transformation seemed exceptionally slow.

At that moment, Ye Feng, in the form of a Possessed Mutated Eagle, circled high in the sky, carefully sensing below.

Based on the rate of increase in its aura, it would probably take about another hour to break through to Fifth Order.

To ensure its safety, Ye Feng even had the entire Flying Squadron come over, waiting nearby in the forest.

There were nearly 3,000 Third Order Mutated Creatures gathered here; under these circumstances, unless ten or eight Fifth Order Beings arrived, none would dare to break through.

In other words, the defenses here were virtually impregnable.

But within Yang City, a group of high-ranking military officials felt increasingly nervous and uneasy.

What they were nervous about was not whether the Mutated Poisonous Spider could successfully break through, but whether things would truly unfold as the Dragon King predicted, that once the number of Fifth Order Mutated Beings reached 100, the next Spiritual Energy Resurgence would occur.

This was a matter of life and death for countless people.

Because with the further drop in temperature, almost all areas of the Southern Region, except for Yang City, had already fallen to minus 30 degrees Celsius.

As for the Northern Region, the situation was even more serious, with temperatures dropping to minus 40 degrees Celsius.

Under these conditions, whether it was Mutated Plants, Mutated Insects, or Mutated Animals in the Northern Region, there were already large numbers freezing to death.

And these creatures that froze to death naturally included cultivated vegetables and raised poultry.

If the cold continued, there would undoubtedly be mass deaths.

Should this occur, it wouldn’t be long before there would be shortages of vegetables and meat.

Without the supply of vegetables and meat, they would have to subsist merely on rice, noodles, steamed buns, and other staples.

Setting aside health concerns, without the supply of other types of food, the consumption of staples would certainly surge.

Moreover, after the major earthquake, many granaries across the country had been damaged, especially since the earthquake was followed by heavy rain, making the situation even worse.

Although emergency measures had saved a significant amount of food, how long could they last on stored grain alone in these icy conditions that prevented planting?

It was for these reasons that they were so tense and anxious.

They did not have much time left; they must trigger the fourth Spiritual Energy Resurgence before the mass death of plants and animals.

In this state of anxious waiting, time relentlessly slipped away.

Finally, when the time reached 12 p.m., the Mutated Poisonous Spider completed its breakthrough, becoming the 100th Mutated Animal in the world, and the only Mutated Insect.

And with the completion of this Mutated Poisonous Spider’s breakthrough, Ye Feng instantly felt a subtle change in Heaven and Earth.

This change was very faint at the beginning, so slight that he even doubted whether it was his imagination.

But as time progressed, within a few minutes, he felt a shift and looked towards a lake within the Donglin Mountain Range where the concentration of Spiritual Energy had evidently increased.

As the Spiritual Energy increased in that area, the richness of the surrounding Spiritual Energy also slowly rose.

Ye Feng observed that there were a dozen places within the Donglin Mountain Range where the Spiritual Energy Resurgence was starting to happen first.

They would influence more and more areas until achieving a comprehensive Spiritual Energy Resurgence.

Seeing that Spiritual Energy was indeed beginning to return, Ye Feng was reassured.

Now the only uncertainty was to what extent this fourth Spiritual Energy Resurgence would increase the concentration of Spiritual Energy, and whether it could meet his expectations.

Of course, Ye Feng did not forget to share this good news with the still anxious leadership in Yang City.

"Is the Spiritual Energy really starting to return?" Liu Zaoxin, who had been waiting all morning, said excitedly upon hearing the words conveyed by the Mutated Parrot.

"Of course it’s true. The concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Donglin Mountain Range has already started to increase."

"Here in Yang City, the concentration of Spiritual Energy at Dongjiang Wetland Park has also begun to rise. If you don’t believe it, you can have someone go there and test it," Ye Feng said with a smile.
