Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 407 - 257: Forbidden Area Disturbance, Competing for the Relic_2

Chapter 407: Chapter 257: Forbidden Area Disturbance, Competing for the Relic_2

No one knew what the situation was within the Ancient Ruins, if there was a chance for cooperation, it was best to get acquainted now, as it might come in handy later.

As they conversed, someone shouted: "The Dragon Hall is here."

In an instant, the thousands of people present all looked up in unison towards the distant sky, where an enormous flock of birds, large enough to obscure the sun, was approaching rapidly.

Even before the other side had gotten close, the mere presence they exuded made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

It was clear that the cause of this feeling was not only the sheer number of birds but, more importantly, the fact that the realm of these Mutated Birds was higher than theirs.

Seeing this scene, many were shocked; compared to a month ago, the Dragon Hall had undoubtedly become much stronger.

In fact, not just with the birds, the ground was also trembling slightly at this moment; anyone looking down from high above could witness a true animal stampede.

Over the past month, the Mutated Animals that Ye Feng had previously instructed Liu Zaoxin and the others to purchase had all been acquired.

And afterwards, Ye Feng continued to buy even more Mutated Animals in succession.

As a result, all of his Contracted Animals, except for the Giant Panda, each had a legion of 1000 Mutated Animals under their command.

Consequently, the number of animals in the Dragon Hall’s Animal Legion had surpassed 24000. As for the Mutated Insect Army, it was needless to say.

Moreover, not only was their quantity abundant, but their quality was also very high, with none being below Third Order, and at least over half had reached Fourth Order.

The strength of such a lineup was self-evident.

However, such a colossal troop was impossible to bring into Tianhe City; the Animal Legion stayed outside, with only the Mutated Parrot going in.

After breaking through to the Fifth Order, the Mutated Parrot’s size had surged once again, with a wingspan reaching 50 meters; even just by itself, it could exert considerable pressure on the thousands of people gathered.

However, this pressure dissipated in an instant as Ye Feng retracted his aura.

At this moment, Zhang Ji and the others came forward, all greeting him respectfully, "Greetings, Parrot Messenger!"

"Hmm!" Ye Feng nodded and spoke, "There’s about an hour left before the Ancient Ruins officially open. Are all your preparations complete?"

"In general, we are prepared. However, they have something to ask of you, and asked me to facilitate a connection," Zhang Ji said and pointed behind him to the representatives of various cities.

Ye Feng casually inquired, "What’s the matter?"

"It’s like this. May I ask if we can hire the Dragon Hall’s Fifth Order Mutated Red Fire Ants or Mutated Yellowjackets?" The representative from Guangyuan city took a slight bow before speaking up first.

Hearing this, Ye Feng glanced at them, and then at the Yangcheng City team not far off, instantly understanding everything.

After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible. After all, we have only 1000 of the Fifth Order Mutated Red Fire Ants and Mutated Yellowjackets, and they need to enter the ruins with us to protect their respective queens."

Hearing Ye Feng say this, the faces of the representatives from the various cities couldn’t help showing disappointment.

"However," Ye Feng shifted his tone, "while Fifth Order is not available, Fourth Order is quite abundant and available for hire."

To everyone’s surprise, the situation turned around just like that, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"In that case, may I know the combat power of these Fourth Order Mutated Insects and how much is the hiring cost?" The representative from Guangyuan City asked again.

"Their combat power is roughly equivalent to a Third Order Evolutionist, and the hiring price for either the Mutated Red Fire Ant or the Mutated Yellowjacket is 3 million each," Ye Feng stated.

Once reaching Fourth Order, Mutated Insects could also use Spiritual Body Protection, which undoubtedly significantly enhanced their combat abilities.

Thus, even Mutated Insects could unleash strength comparable to that of a Third Order Evolutionist at the Fourth Order.

Hearing Ye Feng state this, the representatives’ eyes lit up; the combat power of the Third Order was already on par with their main forces, and the hiring price was not expensive at all.

Thus, without any hesitation, they all submitted requests to hire his services.

However, Ye Feng directed them to Zhang Ji for the tally, to come back and discuss with him later; he would dispatch the Mutated Insects all at once when the time came.

The plaza then became quite lively, with everyone discussing excitedly whether to coordinate with the Red Fire Ants or the Yellowjackets to truly maximize their combat effectiveness.

Ye Feng didn’t pay much attention to these matters, he had already switched his avatar status to the mutated eagle to observe the situation at the ancient ruins.

At this moment, the energy barrier around the ruins was becoming more and more tenuous, as if it could shatter at any moment.

"It shouldn’t be too different from my previous conjecture, the energy barrier will disappear completely within an hour at most, and the ancient ruins will officially open," Ye Feng soon shifted his gaze onto the mutated beings below.

It must be said, if these gathered mutated beings really united, even the Dragon Hall’s animal army might falter before them.

But unfortunately, these animals were destined to fight each other, and they were even about to start fighting now.

Moreover, he knew that the military had a plan to clear out the mutated beings.

Globally, it was hard to say about other places, but at least the mutated beings gathered near these five ancient ruins within the country would all be cleared out.

While Ye Feng was thinking about these matters, he suddenly sensed something and immediately switched his consciousness back to his main body.

At the same time, his gaze turned toward the direction of the Small Phoenix Mountain Restricted Area.

He could feel intense spatial fluctuations emanating from there, and powerful presences emerging from the underground.

"As expected, the ancient powerhouses in the restricted area are getting restless," Ye Feng said with some gravity.

Although they had speculated this before and had already prepared a response plan, it was still a big problem.

However, the disturbance in the restricted area also indicated one thing—that the things inside the ancient ruins were likely even more precious than they had previously anticipated. freewebnoveℓ.com

So precious that even ancient powerhouses like Qiongqi were vying for it.

...

After Ye Feng noticed the issue, the troops stationed near Small Phoenix Mountain also quickly detected the disturbance within the restricted area using their instruments.

Although they had a contingency plan in place, they knew how dangerous the restricted area was, and at this time, everyone was on full alert.

Meanwhile, in the conference room of Yangcheng City, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin were watching the situation in Tianhe City through remote communication equipment.

Suddenly, Bai Yinghui’s communicator rang, and his expression changed slightly when he saw the incoming call display.

He immediately answered and after listening to just two sentences, his demeanor became extremely serious.

"Could it be a problem in the restricted area?" Liu Zaoxin asked at once.

"Yes!" Bai Yinghui nodded, "According to the plan, you need to immediately contact the Parrot Messenger on your end. We need to confirm as quickly as possible which numbered response plan to activate."

Liu Zaoxin hurriedly took out his phone and made a call to Zhang Ji’s end.

...

At this time, in Tianhe City square, Zhang Ji was surrounded by a host of officials, busy doing a procurement statistical table.

When his phone rang, Zhang Ji didn’t pay much attention and answered casually, but after listening to just two sentences, his face and expression dramatically changed.

"What! There’s been a disturbance in the restricted area?"

As Zhang Ji’s exclamation rang out, the people in the square who had been discussing, suddenly fell silent.

Although few of them had fought in the restricted area, that didn’t mean they weren’t aware of how dangerous the restricted area was.

It could be said that at this moment, everyone felt a sense of tension.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ji, holding his phone, quickly approached the mutated parrot.

"Parrot Messenger, this is a call from Mayor Liu, please take it," he said, opening the speakerphone and passing it to Ye Feng.

Just as Liu Zaoxin on the other side of the phone was about to speak, he heard Ye Feng say, "The Dragon Lord is already aware of the situation in the restricted area."

"It is observing the situation in the restricted area and will inform you which numbered plan to use based on the specific circumstances."
