Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 351 - 232 Attention from All Sides, Purchasing Mutated Animals Again_2

Chapter 351: Chapter 232 Attention from All Sides, Purchasing Mutated Animals Again_2

He didn’t rush to Sunset Valley immediately but instead called an emergency meeting, pulling together the high-level officials of Yang City for a discussion that lasted nearly half an hour.

After determining at least three strategies, Liu Zaoxin set off for Sunset Valley with a somewhat heavy heart, accompanied by two advisory staff members, and they drove quickly in the valley’s direction.

As they approached the colossal tree, especially when the vehicle traveled beneath the canopy along the road, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of awe.

It was the awe they felt for something massive.

When the vehicle arrived in front of Sunset Valley, the Mutated Parrot did not fly out from within the valley but instead descended directly from the immense canopy overhead.

"Parrot Messenger, hello!" Liu Zaoxin greeted with respect.

At the same time, his mind raced to devise a way to steer the conversation naturally towards the giant tree.

But before he could speak the next sentence, Ye Feng got straight to the point, asking, "You’ve come to inquire about the situation with this giant tree, haven’t you?"

Faced with such candid speech, Liu Zaoxin and the two advisers were taken aback, as this was beyond the scope of the strategies they had anticipated.

However, Liu Zaoxin’s reaction was swift. Since the other party had spoken so plainly, he no longer beat around the bush and nodded, saying, "Yes, of course, we just want to understand the basic situation."

His implication was that if there was anything inconvenient to say, it was okay not to mention it.

"Actually, your guess is correct; this Mutated Iron Birch Tree indeed has something to do with the Dragon Lord."

"This is the Dragon Lord’s Companion Spirit Plant, which is why we have stayed here and not gone elsewhere," Ye Feng explained.

Liu Zaoxin was somewhat stunned. Had the other party not understood his hint?

But the casual attitude displayed by the other party seemed to suggest otherwise.

Could it be that they truly didn’t mind sharing this information with him?

Thinking this, Liu Zaoxin ventured to ask, "Parrot Messenger, what exactly is a... Companion Spirit Plant?"

Ye Feng, using a response he had prepared in advance, explained, "Simply put, it’s something very important to the Dragon Lord. You could think of it as a magical treasure. With it, the Dragon Lord can fully exert his strength."

"Like controlling the temperature around Yang City. Without this Companion Spirit Plant, although the Dragon Lord could still manage it, he wouldn’t be able to maintain it for as long as now—three to four hours a day would be quite good. Do you understand what I mean now?"

Liu Zaoxin was genuinely surprised inside; why would the other party tell him something so crucial?

If it were him, he would certainly try his best to keep it secret.

Perhaps the other party felt their strength was sufficient and there was no need for secrecy, or maybe they indeed started to trust their ally?

But regardless of the reason, after hearing this news, Liu Zaoxin inexplicably felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

Because the Dragon King of the past had been so dominant, so intimidating, that even though the current demeanor was friendly, they still felt they were walking on thin ice.

But now the other party had revealed a "weakness," and they instantly felt much more at ease.

At that moment, Liu Zaoxin’s mood improved significantly, though, of course, he wouldn’t show any of these emotions on his face.

He continued to express curiosity on his face, asking, "So if this Mutated Iron Birch Tree becomes stronger, will the Dragon Lord’s strength increase further?"

"Yes," the Mutated Parrot nodded and replied, "After the fourth resurgence of Spiritual Energy, the current environment is barely suitable for the growth of the Dragon Lord’s Companion Spirit Plant. The Mutated Iron Birch Tree will become increasingly powerful."

"I see. Then please convey my congratulations to the Dragon Lord and wish him a swift recovery of his strength," Liu Zaoxin said somewhat grudgingly.

However, this time, he wasn’t nearly as anxious as before, and the larger the Mutated Giant Tree grew, the larger the "target" it became. From this perspective, it wasn’t necessarily bad news.

Ye Feng nodded calmly, "Alright, I will pass on the message."

His spiritual power was constantly sensing the other party’s emotional changes. Although he couldn’t know exactly what they were thinking, he could guess roughly through the changes in their emotions.

Overall, he felt that his aim had been achieved.

To maintain a relatively stable alliance, being strong is a necessity, only by this can one ensure their interests.

But being too strong, to the point of causing another party to live in fear and trepidation, is actually not acceptable either.

Because no matter what you do, the other side will always suspect your motives, and in that case, the alliance is in name only.

This is why he fabricated the existence of the Companion Spirit Plant.

As for Liu Zaoxin, after achieving his mission objectives, he didn’t leave immediately. After some thought, he tentatively said, "Parrot Messenger, there is one more thing, can we purchase intelligence from Dragon Lord?"

"Hmm?" Ye Feng looked at him with some confusion.

"It’s like this, I don’t know if you’ve paid attention to the news on the internet, but our Hua Country plans to take the lead in forming an international alliance, mainly to deal with the threat from forbidden zones."

"And the purpose of our alliance is mutual aid. If any country encounters an attack from Forbidden Area Creatures, the other member countries will also come to help."

"However, there’s a very crucial problem."

"Those Sixth Order creatures are too strong, and they move too fast. Once they find a dense forest to hide in, given their speed of movement, it’s very difficult for us to continuously track them."

"So, we hope that Dragon Lord can help with locating them, and of course, we can pay for this intelligence with Huaxia Currency. The price is negotiable," Liu Zaoxin said with a sincere face.

This matter required careful consideration and a suitable opportunity to be brought up, but he felt that now was a good chance and spoke his piece boldly.

"Yes!" Ye Feng didn’t hesitate and said directly.

It was the creatures inside forbidden zones that were his greatest enemies, and he was naturally quite willing to cooperate in this matter.

Once his Elite Forces were assembled, he could even take action himself to confront them. freewёbnoνel.com

"About the price, depending on the importance of the intelligence, for each piece, we can offer from 10 million to 100 million Huaxia Currency. How does that sound?" Liu Zaoxin hastily added.

"No problem," Ye Feng nodded and then said, "If I remember correctly, the amount in my account has already exceeded 80 billion Huaxia Currency, right?"

Of this amount, 50 billion was income from selling Life Fruits, and the rest accrued gradually from earthquake relief efforts in other cities. Naturally, for saving Yang City, the officials also contributed 100 billion.

"Yes! It’s a total of 85.6 billion Huaxia Currency," Liu Zaoxin said promptly, remembering the amount quite clearly.

"Alright, I want to purchase Mutated Beings."

"Mutated Buffalo, Mutated Parrot, Mutated Hedgehog, Mutated Elephant, Mutated Hippo, Mutated Brown Bear, Mutated American Leopard, Mutated Rhino—I want all of these, 1000 of each."

"When the time comes, just report to me how much money was spent," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.

Previously, he had been worried about the spiritual energy supply, fearing that the current Mutated Army couldn’t be sustained, so he naturally didn’t plan on continuing purchases.

But now, with the fourth Spiritual Energy Resurgence and his own breakthrough to the Sixth Order, he was suddenly more confident.

Naturally, he began to make large purchases to quickly enhance the strength of his Animal Legion.

Thinking of the thrilling scene of thousands of beasts charging ahead, he felt a little excited.

Hearing Ye Feng list off the names of Mutated Beings one after another, Liu Zaoxin felt a bit sour, even though he knew that this scene was inevitable.

It was definitely going to be a tough job, and...

"Parrot Messenger, such a large-scale purchase of Mutated Beings will surely cause their prices to skyrocket."

"Besides, the previous earthquake caused the destruction of many buildings, which included some laboratories, and some Mutated Beings escaped as a result."

"So, considering all these factors together, the final price will certainly be much higher than what we listed earlier," Liu Zaoxin quickly clarified, as this was very important.

"It’s fine, as long as the price isn’t too outrageous, I can accept it," Ye Feng said, waving his wings dismissively.

With his current spiritual power, he could easily monitor the entire Yang City, and as long as the other party wasn’t deliberately trying to swindle him, he truly didn’t care about such price increases.
