Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 420 - 265: Piranha is a Natural Treasure (Additional - )_1

Chapter 420: Chapter 265: Piranha is a Natural Treasure (Additional Chapter)_1

Rushing out were not only those 100 mutated hippos, but also 50 mutated elephants and rhinos trailing behind them.

These 200 massive elite animals directly formed a thick barrier on the periphery of the original formation.

More importantly, this "barrier" was not only capable of defense, but also possessed super-strong offensive power.

The mutated elephants extended their long trunks and easily crushed the piranhas to death with the support of nearly 300 tons of force.

As for the mutated rhinos, their specialty was ramming, but this mode of attack was of little use against smaller targets.

However, dealing with Fourth Order mutated beings didn’t need to be so troublesome; a stomp with 300 tons of force was enough to crush anything to death.

Of course, while their attack was fierce, they were not the true main force.

The real main force hunting these piranhas were the mutated tigers, lions, and cheetahs.

All of these were top-tier predators, naturally endowed with superb hunting skills.

Under the enhancement of Ye Feng’s terrifying attributes, their hunting skills could be maximized.

Even when fighting in the water, leveraging their powerful physical capabilities, they could still burst forth with horrifying speed, and each swipe of their sharp claws, each bite of their lethal teeth, could claim the life of a piranha.

After their terrifying slaughter, the amount of piranhas that could still swim to the mutated animals’ formation was less than one-tenth of the original number.

And here, waiting for them were 50 elite mutated giant pandas!

Even if these piranhas could get past the mutated giant pandas, what could the few remaining ones do once they reached the front lines of the Animal Legion?

They were promptly killed by the combined efforts of the remaining Fourth Order animals.

In this way, the entire Animal Legion crossed the river at a steady pace.

At this moment, the people who were thinking of escaping were now watching with their eyes wide open.

The power of Dragon Hall had once again refreshed their cognition.

Previously, they only knew that the messengers were extremely powerful, but that power was individual.

The animal power that Dragon Hall had been displaying seemed ordinary, not much different from those mutated animals in the wilderness.

But the scene today undeniably told them that their previous understanding was wrong.

Dragon Hall actually had a hidden elite squad, and the power this elite squad showed was beyond imagination.

At least they couldn’t see the limit of this elite squad.

At the same realm, the piranhas couldn’t even break through the defenses of the elite animals, while their every attack could easily claim the life of a piranha.

It was clear that the true strength of this batch of elite mutated animals was at least Fifth Order, and they even felt it was quite possible they were Sixth Order.

Without a doubt, this once again made these people feel the unfathomable depth of Dragon Hall.

And perhaps the only one who could roughly guess the reason was Chen Dalong, who assumed these mutated animals were probably like him, having been granted power by the Dragon King.

No matter what everyone else was thinking, in just 10 minutes, the vast troop had already crossed the kilometer-wide river.

The number of piranhas killed had also exceeded 7,000, and even the piranhas that came later did not dare to continue attacking the Animal Legion.

Soon, the last mutated animal also made it ashore.

This time, crossing the river, Dragon Hall had some animals injured, but not a single one died, and over 7,000 piranha corpses were collected.

Yes, Ye Feng had his subordinates collect all the piranha corpses as well.

Because during the battle, his Fifth Order contracted tiger went to fight and tore into the piranhas, discovering that the flesh and blood of the piranhas contained a strange kind of energy.

This energy was somewhat similar to that of kiwi fruits but was different in nature.

After discovering this, Ye Feng immediately realized that these piranhas were also treasures.

So later on, he even deliberately slowed down the river crossing to attract more piranhas.

Unfortunately, even though they were attracted, the piranhas became frightened by the slaughter and didn’t dare to advance.

However, after a count, a total of 7,350 piranha corpses were collected, which was a good result.

After the troop was ashore, Ye Feng had the mutated parrot step forward, tear off a large chunk of piranha flesh, and swallow it, starting to taste it.

This flesh digested at an extremely fast rate when it entered the stomach, and quickly transformed into streams of strange energy that surged toward the limbs and bones.

Then, Ye Feng was surprised to find that the physique of the mutated parrot was actually enhancing.

It should be noted that such an enhancement usually only occurred during breakthroughs!

He quickly devoured the entire piranha and started to sense carefully, but soon his expression showed a trace of disappointment.

Because the degree of enhancement was not significant; one piranha only increased his physical stats by 0.3%.

After some thought, he proceeded to devour another piranha.

What comforted him was that when he ate the second piranha, the effect still existed, and soon his physical constitution had improved by 0.6% compared to before.

Although the degree was still very small, if it could be continuously improved, then these piranhas could indeed be considered a panacea.

But Ye Feng quickly discarded this idea, considering that the place where these piranhas were found wasn’t even a core area, the effects were definitely limited.

Of course, this matter could easily be tested, and he immediately called over two mutated tigers, one Third Order, one Fourth Order.

Ye Feng used his paw to push 2 piranhas towards them and had them eat up right then and there.

At the same time, he switched into possessing the Mutated Wolf King’s body, then mobilized its spiritual power to start probing the two mutated tigers.

As they gobbled the fish, Ye Feng soon found out that their physical constitution was quickly strengthening.

Especially the Third Order Mutated Tiger, whose strengthening speed was incredible, its physical constitution seemed to increase by 1% with each bite of fish.

After consuming one whole fish, its base physical strength had improved by at least 30%.

The Fourth Order Mutated Tiger’s physical constitution improved by about 3% as well.

"So it really is like this, the special energy contained within these Fourth Order piranhas is limited. Therefore, the lower the realm, the less special energy needed for body strengthening, and the more exaggerated the improvement."

Ye Feng wasn’t stingy and slid 2 more piranhas towards them for continued consumption.

Yet, he quickly discovered that even if the Third Order Mutated Tiger continued to consume the fish, its physical constitution wasn’t changing anymore.

"Could it be that 30% is the limit?"

Ye Feng’s gaze fell on the Fourth Order Mutated Tiger which quickly finished off another piranha, and its body strength had risen to 6%.

This time, Ye Feng gave it 8 piranhas at once.

The Fourth Order Mutated Tiger, being over 40 meters long, could consume a piranha over three meters long in just a few bites.

Moreover, with its intelligence not being low, it understood the significant benefits the piranhas offered its body.

As if fearing that the Mutated Parrot might change its mind, it showed what it truly meant to wolf down food, and in less than a minute, it had finished off all the piranhas.

The Fourth Order Mutated Tiger’s physical constitution had then strengthened by 30%.

Immediately afterward, Ye Feng pushed another piranha towards it, but this time after it finished eating, there was no further increase in physical constitution.

"Indeed, these piranhas can only enhance physical constitution by up to 30%, but such an improvement is quite amazing already, as it is an all-around enhancement," Ye Feng muttered to himself, unable to help himself.

If his original body came to devour them, a 30% increase in physical constitution would mean that each of his roots could exert a force of 390 tons, and the overall enhancement would still be quite significant.

Of course, the higher the realm, the more piranhas needed to be consumed; his contracted animals were all Fifth Order, needing at least 100 each to achieve the increase.

With that in mind, he immediately got busy, allocating the piranhas among his subordinates.

At this moment, Zhang Ji approached and couldn’t help inquiring, "Parrot Messenger, are these piranhas some sort of treasure?"

The actions of the Mutated Parrot had already caught their attention, but seeing that the Parrot had been testing, they did not dare to disturb it. Now that it seemed the experiments were over, Zhang Ji couldn’t help but come over and ask.

"Yes, these piranhas are indeed beneficial. After consuming a sufficient amount, one’s physical constitution can strengthen by around 30%," Ye Feng responded directly without concealing anything.

Hearing this, Zhang Ji’s eyes widened, and the people listening in from afar started to breathe heavily with excitement.

Improving physical constitution by 30% - this was an effect that the previously encountered kiwis couldn’t even come close to.

This was surely a peerless treasure.

Regaining his composure, Zhang Ji eagerly asked, "Parrot Messenger, could you possibly..."

"No!" Before he could finish, Ye Feng cut him off, "We don’t have enough piranhas for ourselves, so forget about it."

He wasn’t joking – each of his Fifth Order contracted animals needed 100 piranhas.

Even without counting the Mutated King Cobra, there were 26 contracted animals present, which meant 2600 piranhas were needed.

In addition, he planned to allocate piranhas to those 500 Elite Animals he had trained to enhance their strength.

Even if they were all Fourth Order, needing just 10 to reach the limit, that would still require 5000, totaling a need of 7600 piranhas.

He had only harvested 7350 piranhas this time, so truly, they were not enough; it wasn’t just an excuse.

"This..." Zhang Ji didn’t know how to respond at that moment.

Ye Feng looked at him, then glanced at the people behind him, and raised his voice, saying, "There are still plenty of piranhas in the river. After we leave, you can try to hunt them on your own."

"Don’t expect everything to be handed to you; if you want to fight for opportunities, you should be prepared to face death," he added.

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, many felt a burning sensation on their faces.

They also realized that, unknowingly, they had almost become dependent on Dragon Hall.

But if everything had to be done with the support from Dragon Hall, what did that make them? Vassals of Dragon Hall?
