Chapter 382: Chapter 246: Seven Days in a Blink, Ancient Ruins Emerge_2

Moreover, Ye Feng had discovered that with the passing of time, the speed at which it absorbed Spiritual Energy was slowly increasing.

"Could it be that this is the reason the Ancient Ruins are becoming more real? It needs to absorb enough Spiritual Energy to truly activate?" Ye Feng couldn’t help but speculate.

And this time, Ye Feng had stayed here for a full four hours.

Yes, on the fourth day since the appearance of the Ancient Ruins, it lasted a full four hours before vanishing.

Following that, Ye Feng came to observe every day.

And the performance of the Ancient Ruins became more and more astonishing.

On the fifth day, it could last for eight hours.

On the sixth day, it lasted an even longer sixteen hours before disappearing.

On the seventh day, Ye Feng came early to Tianhe City to wait.

At this point, this place was no longer just a camp; the large army from Tianhe City had been mobilized over here, and defensive fortifications had been constructed in readiness.

Because, according to the pattern of the previous six days, the duration of the Ancient Ruins’ appearance would double every other day.

By the sixth day, it had already reached sixteen hours.

Therefore, on the seventh day, it would be thirty-two hours.

Of course, there are only twenty-four hours in a day, so it’s very likely that from today onwards, these Ancient Ruins will be there all the time.

If anything unusual is going to happen, it would be today or tomorrow.

"Parrot Messenger, do you see anything else we need to prepare over here?" Zhao Sheng hurriedly asked upon seeing the Mutated Parrot land.

"No need for now; the preparations you’ve made are already quite good," Ye Feng said after glancing around at the arrangements.

The military forces of Tianhe City had started these preparations from the fourth day, so they had been sufficiently ready for several days.

According to Ye Feng’s understanding, they had even contacted several surrounding cities; if needed, aerial support could arrive within ten minutes, and ground troops could reach them within half an hour.

"Uh... but we’re still somewhat worried over here, Mayor Liu wants to inquire if it’s possible to request some troops from Dragon Hall. Of course, the price is negotiable," Zhao Sheng quickly added.

Normally, matters like this should be discussed personally by Mayor Liu Wenhong.

Only that Zhao Sheng had grown familiar with the Mutated Parrot over time, so naturally this task fell upon him.

Ye Feng certainly knew what the other party was worried about, he smiled and said, "You really don’t need to worry so much, you should understand given that I come here every day, that Dragon Lord has been paying close attention to this."

"If something truly problematic arises here, Dragon Lord will take action personally."

Upon hearing the Parrot Messenger speak like this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Zhao Sheng’s face.

With Dragon Lord’s strength, no one had doubts now, and if he were willing to get involved, even if the Ancient Ruins were a forbidden realm, they wouldn’t need to worry.

After the two of them finished their conversation, the time nearly approached 9 in the morning.

At this moment, everyone waited solemnly for the emergence of the Ancient Ruins.

As the clock struck 9 o’clock, the Ancient Ruins appeared right on time.

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, observing the structure before him; by now, there was no fog to obscure it.

Even that slightly illusory feeling it used to exude had disappeared.

Ye Feng scrutinized it closely and couldn’t find the slightest trace of falsehood.

He hesitated before stepping forward, but instead of entering directly, he stretched out his wing and touched the doorway.

As usual, his wing passed right through, and the Ancient Ruins were still an illusion; Ye Feng felt an inexplicable sigh of relief in his heart, and then proceeded to walk inside.

But soon, he noticed something different. As he passed through the doorway, he felt a slight resistance.

Though it was very subtle, he had noticed it.

"Is it really about to become truly substantial?"

Ye Feng was somewhat astonished; he went back out and entered again, confirming that it wasn’t his imagination. The sensation of resistance was genuinely there.

And the attraction emanating from within the main hall had grown exponentially stronger compared to before.

Even with his strong will, he felt an extremely intense urge to go there immediately.

Ye Feng did not resist and followed this feeling, involuntarily arriving in front of the main hall’s grand doors, only to bump into them.

At that moment, Ye Feng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

What just happened?

He actually bumped into the doors; the main hall’s grand doors had turned into a physical object.

All at once, Ye Feng’s alertness reached its peak, but he did not act rashly, instead standing still and waiting.

One second, two seconds... ten seconds.

Having waited for a full ten seconds and seeing no change, Ye Feng finally let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the main hall in front of him, he gritted his teeth and pushed the doors with his wings.

Creak!

The doors were colossal but not heavy; they slowly opened inward as he pushed.

Ye Feng looked up and saw the interior of the main hall was still empty, with nothing inside.

After a moment’s thought, he backed into the hall and found that, just like before, the attractive force vanished as soon as he entered.

However, aside from some murals of unknown creatures on the walls, there was still nothing in the main hall.

After making a full round, he had no choice but to walk back out.

It was not that he did not want to stay longer, but the absorption of Spiritual Energy in the main hall was the strongest. If he stayed inside, he estimated that the Spirit Energy in the Mutated Parrot’s body would be drained away in less than half an hour.

Not just the main hall, but as long as he remained in these Ancient Ruins, the Spirit Energy in his body would be continuously absorbed, and even if he stayed in the outermost area, he couldn’t last three hours.

Therefore, after making a round, Ye Feng walked back out.

On the other side, Zhao Sheng, as usual, came over immediately to ask about the situation inside.

Ye Feng did not hide anything and directly explained what had happened.

When Zhao Sheng heard that the main hall had actually become tangible, he was seriously startled.

After reporting to the superiors, he immediately dispatched a research team into the ruins.

It’s worth mentioning that the members of the research team sent inside were all at least Second-order Evolvers.

There was no choice because they found out over time that these Ancient Ruins absorbed Spirit Energy initially, but if the body’s Spirit Energy was drained, they would start absorbing Life Energy.

Therefore, the area covered by the Ancient Ruins now had all its vegetation withered.

In the past two or three days, ordinary researchers could still enter, but later on, they absolutely dared not venture in.

Even these Second-order Evolvers did not dare stay inside for long.

They went in and quickly made a round; in less than 5 minutes, they hurriedly came back out.

Despite the speed, they finished collecting all the necessary data for detection.

Then came the analysis.

But unfortunately, they still found nothing.

"Let’s wait! Another day," Ye Feng finally said.

And this day was destined to be turbulent, for the news that the main halls in Ancient Ruins around the world had become real quickly spread over the internet.

Ye Feng did not pay attention to the online uproar but just silently waited.

Soon a day passed, and even Ye Feng’s composure began to waver the morning of the 8th day.

As he had expected, the Ancient Ruins did not disappear again.

Moreover, as time went on, the Ruins’ absorption of Spirit Energy had become increasingly terrifying.

Even standing 10 meters outside the ruins, Ye Feng could feel the Spirit Energy being drawn out of his body.

As for the area’s Spirit Energy, it was all flowing toward the Ancient Ruins; within at least a 1-kilometer radius, it was impossible to cultivate normally.
