Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree

Ye Feng, who had high hopes at this moment, had spent nearly half an hour using his huge mental power to explore the entire Greater Khingan Range.

But he didn't find anyone who was particularly powerful, nor did he find any mutant creature that was special.

Obviously, the thing he least expected to happen happened, and that was the person behind the scenes. The means used to disguise and hide it were impossible to detect with normal methods.

"Alas~"

Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh. He had flown back to the main battlefield.

Next, we can only carry out the second step of the plan, which is to conduct a step-by-step screening of each mutant creature.

This kind of screening is difficult for others to do, but it is different for Ye Feng, especially after he studied illusions, it became easier.

As long as you cast illusions on these mutated creatures and invade their minds with mental power, you can naturally judge the strength of their spiritual sea.

If the sea of ​​​​spirits is very powerful, or your own illusions cannot invade, it proves that something is abnormal.

Of course, this screening method, even if it does not actually use illusions on these mutated animals, will consume a lot of mental energy. If Ye Feng's soul origin had not been restored, he would not have dared to have such an idea.

After all, there are nearly 7 million mutated creatures here. Even if you don't have to explore them all, the amount of mental energy required will definitely be huge.

Even an eighth-level spiritual powerhouse would find it difficult to complete this task.

However, Ye Feng's current spiritual sea has reached the peak of the seventh level, and he has brought enough life fruits to restore his mental power, so he is not too worried about consumption.

The only thing to worry about is time.

He took a deep breath, abandoned his distracting thoughts, and began to use the illusion with all his strength.

Suddenly there were more than a hundred mutated creatures on the battlefield. Their eyes seemed to be blurred for a moment, but they regained consciousness the next moment because Ye Feng had completed the investigation.

In this way, Ye Feng screened these mutated creatures in batches, and for those who had no problems in the screening, he would leave a little mental power to identify them in the other party's spiritual sea.

After all, the situation on the battlefield is constantly changing, and these mutated creatures are also constantly moving. Without leaving some marks, it is difficult for him to determine which animals have been screened by him.

Time passes little by little, one hour, two hours, three hours...

Ye Feng's detection efficiency is very high. Every hour, he can screen at least 1 million mutant creatures and confirm their identities.

But even with such efficiency, there was an unconcealable eagerness in Ye Feng's eyes.

Because in just three hours, the number of people killed by the military has exceeded 30,000, and the number of injured has exceeded 100,000.

If reinforcements had not arrived one after another to stabilize the defense line, this casualty would have increased by at least three times.

Of these reinforcements, what caught Ye Feng's attention the most was actually the second batch of reinforcements, because a group of mechas followed here.

These mechas, which are six stories high and made of various alloys, can be said to be the pinnacle of technology and formations.

Yes, it's the formation.

According to the information Ye Feng learned from Zhao Guofeng, when constructing these mechas, many of them borrowed from the metal puppets in the inheritance land.

The formation of the metal puppet that can be continuously restored is even more coveted by everyone.

Of course, you can't get that special formation, but the mecha made with technology and some basic formations is also not weak in combat effectiveness.

Especially in terms of defense, every mecha basically has a "giant formation" and a "stable formation."

Although these are just basic formations, they can bring the mecha's attack and defense to a higher level.

In one-on-one situations, they can easily defeat those peak-level sixth-level mutant animals.

Even if placed on the battlefield with countless sixth-level mutant creatures, these mechas can be like steel pillars in the stormy sea.

As long as the mechas remain standing, they can form support points, and then cooperate with the infantry to fight together, directly improving the defense of the battle line to a higher level.

If there's a drawback, it's that the quantity is too small.

There are only 1,000 of these mechas in total, and now the military, in addition to the frontal defensive wall, has been attacked by teams of mutant creatures, whether on the left, right or behind.

On this battlefield that stretches for more than 30 kilometers, 1,000 mechas are really too few.

If this number could be increased 10 times to 10,000 units, it would be able to directly form the Great Steel Wall, which would be able to withstand the army of mutated creatures.

But it is a pity that making mechas is too expensive. The overall skeleton of mechas needs to be made of the newly developed sixth-level special alloy, and the amount used is very large.

The special alloy used to make one mecha can be used to make 100 power armors. If judged in terms of combat effectiveness, this is obviously not cost-effective.

If it weren't for the large number of sixth-level mutant creatures that emerged after the Land of Inheritance, providing the raw materials for making sixth-level special alloys, the mecha plan would have been impossible to implement.

Of course, judging from what happened this time, the potential of mechas is still very high, especially when fighting in the wild without city walls.

When mechas work together, the survivability of soldiers can be greatly improved.

But this is all for the future. Whether we can survive this difficulty now is a question.

"General Ye, have you found anything over there?" Zhao Guofeng's words suddenly sounded in the communication channel.

"Not yet." Ye Feng replied.

He seemed to be able to sense the depressing atmosphere on the other side through his earphones. After thinking for a while, he added: "I have screened out half of the targets now, and the results should be available within 4 hours at the latest."

This was the first time Zhao Guofeng heard that Ye Feng told him the exact time. He was immediately shocked. It would be easy to say if he had a goal.

If it takes up to 4 hours, although it is a bit difficult, it is not unbearable.

"I understand." Zhao Guofeng's tone became more energetic this time.

After Zhao Guofeng hung up the communication, he looked at the expectant staff officers and said loudly: "Now, we have to delay the re-establishment of combat goals for four hours."

Suddenly there was some commotion in the field, and Chief of Staff Chen Li asked directly: "General Zhao, do you mean that Ye Feng can find the target within 4 hours?"

"That's right!" Zhao Guofeng nodded and said, "This is what Ye Feng said himself just now. However, we cannot underestimate the enemy's strength. Perhaps the opponent has very powerful hiding methods that can directly avoid Ye Feng's detection."

"Therefore, an evacuation plan must be formulated. If Ye Feng still cannot find the target after 4 hours, we will implement the evacuation plan immediately."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Compared with the endless waiting before, this kind of accurate goal is undoubtedly easier for them to accept, at least it will not be so painful.

…

After Ye Feng finished the call, he immediately opened the map and pondered.

"Where are you hiding?" Ye Feng whispered to himself.

In fact, after searching for so long, he could not find the enemy. Ye Feng did not find anything. At least he could draw a conclusion from this matter, that is, the enemy's strength was not too strong, at least it was something he could compete with.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have to hide it deliberately, and he would have discovered it long ago.

If he finds the opponent, Ye Feng is at least 70% sure that he can successfully kill the opponent.

His eyes searched the large map, and he quickly moved away from the main battlefield, focusing on the animals crossing the river on the left and right of the mutant creature army.

These animals are very mobile. If you want to hide, hiding here is undoubtedly a better choice.

It's just that he had investigated the situation on these two sides before. After two attempts with no results, he shifted the focus of the investigation to other places.

At this time, Ye Feng focused his attention here. After thinking for a while, his eyes brightened slightly and he thought of a possibility.

His eyes continued to move outward, following the mutant creature across the canal, looking to the other side.

"Is it possible that it left the Greater Khingan Mountains and headed for the outer areas?"

Thinking of this, Ye Feng's eyes fell on a certain area on the map, and he wanted to command the mutated goshawk to fly there.

But he stopped as soon as he started because he thought of another thing.

"If the other party wants to avoid me, he will probably leave when he sees me flying over from a distance."

Thinking of this, Ye Feng immediately activated his space movement ability, and the next moment, his body appeared 10 kilometers away.

Of course, this was not the end yet. Ye Feng's figure flashed twice more in succession, and did not stop until he reached his destination.

And after arriving at the target area, Ye Feng's mental power was fully unleashed without reservation, covering the entire area.

In this way, he can ensure that even if a mutated animal leaves the area, he will be able to detect it immediately.

Unless the other party also has the ability of space system, otherwise, it is impossible for him to leave without being aware of it.

And the next step is screening.

In Ye Feng's perception, at least 70% of the mutated creatures here have their own spiritual power.

In other words, only 30% is left, which has not been explored by myself. This will not take long.

…

When Ye Feng's mental power enveloped the entire audience, the Spider Queen who was in charge of commanding in a dense forest in this area became slightly gloomy.

"Damn human, I just don't want any more accidents. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Although in the Spider Queen's perception, Ye Feng's life breath is far superior to other sixth-level creatures, the opponent has not broken through to the seventh level after all. In terms of head-on combat, the Spider Queen is not afraid at all.

Just because she knew that Ye Feng had mastered the power of the space system and was difficult to kill, she didn't bother to waste time to avoid causing complications.

But now that there is no way to hide, she has no intention of hiding.

At this time, in the dense forest, a seemingly ordinary large mutant spider changed rapidly, transforming into a human form in just one or two breaths.

At the same time, a terrifying aura also burst out from her body. Although she had not yet reached the seventh level, she had already touched the threshold of the seventh level.

"Um?"

In an instant, Ye Feng felt this terrifying aura. He could be said to be surprised and happy.

Naturally, he was happy because he finally found the other person, but he was surprised because the other person's strength was much stronger than he expected.

At least Ye Feng felt a fatal threat from the other party.

Obviously, this was an existence that could directly threaten his life.

After the Spider Queen revealed her true form, she immediately launched an attack without giving Ye Feng any time to prepare.

Her speed was extremely fast, not comparable to other sixth-level creatures. In an instant, she burst out at 10 times the speed of sound.

Ten times the speed of sound means that the opponent can cross a distance of 3,400 meters in one second. The distance between Ye Feng and the opponent is only about 6 kilometers, which means that he can reach him in less than two seconds.

Such speed once again shocked Ye Feng and made him a little more cautious. He had no intention of engaging in a close combat with the opponent.

His mental power burst out without reservation, and he blasted away with a mental hammer from a distance.

The Spider Queen, who was running wildly, suddenly groaned, her eyes full of horror.

Because Ye Feng's mental attack just now made her spiritual sea turbulent and her head felt dizzy.

You must know that her spiritual sea, although limited by this body, can only exert sixth-level spiritual power, but the level is extremely high.

Even after being suppressed layer by layer by this world, there are at least eight levels, but they cannot be exerted under the suppression, but the defense against other people's mental attacks is not affected by this.

And Ye Feng was actually able to shake her spiritual sea, which meant that the spiritual power the other party had just exerted had reached at least the 7th level.

After discovering this, the Spider Queen became even more wary of Ye Feng, and the killing intent in her eyes became even stronger.

She knew very well that the other party was the last group of creatures to be favored by the Resurrection Land. If they were allowed to grow, they might threaten her body in the future. This was something she would never allow.

Of course, the Spider Queen was horrified, and Ye Feng was even more horrified.

"She is obviously only at the sixth level, but her mental defense is too strong!" Ye Feng was a little unwilling.

He didn't expect that his full blow, which also used the full strength of spiritual martial arts, would only shake the opponent's spiritual sea.

This level of injury is not even considered a minor injury, it is equivalent to a slight dizziness for an ordinary person.

The most powerful thing about the human being is his mental power. Even if he encounters a real seventh-level powerhouse, the mental hammer he exerts with all his strength can cause small damage to the opponent's spiritual sea.

But now the opponent's mental power and defense power have reached at least the eighth level. In other words, one of Ye Feng's most powerful abilities is almost useless.

So once the fight started, Ye Feng fell into a passive state.

Moreover, the Spider Queen was not someone who allowed herself to be manipulated. After taking Ye Feng's mental attack, she was furious.

The aura on his body suddenly rose, and a terrifying wave spread out.

"Is this a realm? No, it should be some kind of special secret technique."

When Ye Feng was a little surprised, he suddenly discovered that a large amount of green mist appeared within a radius of 5 kilometers with the Spider Queen as the center.

These green mist also enveloped Ye Feng.
