Global Cataclysm: I became a world tree

Chapter 145 Preliminary Exploration of the Restricted Area
Xiaofeng Mountain.

At this time, everything is really quiet here, and there is not even a single insect in the surrounding woods.

One kilometer away from Xiaofeng Mountain, a blockade has been formed here, and mutant creatures are patrolling here.

Especially the mutated red fire ants and mutated bumblebees are the most important patrol forces.

Because there are enough of them, after they discover the rest of the mutated creatures, they can immediately notify the queen bee or ant in a special way, and then Ye Feng will know and send the rest of the mutated creatures to solve them.

At this time, the blockade is still expanding outward.

But the further the blockade goes, the more places need to be defended. According to Ye Feng's estimation, when the blockade extends to 5 kilometers, it cannot be completely blocked.

This is also the reason why he was anxious to explore this restricted area as soon as he broke through.

At this time, on a flat ground one kilometer away from Xiaofeng Mountain, mutated king cobras, mutated goshawks, big yellow dogs and mutated buffaloes that just arrived gathered here.

At this time, around the neck of the big yellow dog, there was a fruit basket woven with rattan.

Sure enough, there were 10 life fruits in the middle, half big and half small.

The big life fruit was condensed by Ye Feng with 1000 points of spiritual energy and biological energy. The vitality contained in it could quickly recover a seriously injured third-order mutant creature.

He temporarily named it the third-order life fruit.

As for the two smaller ones, they were formed by Ye Feng using 300 points of spiritual energy and biological energy. The vitality contained in them can make a second-level mutant creature recover quickly.

"Hopefully my vision will come true."

At this time, Ye Feng was possessed by the mutated buffalo. Following his orders, a second-level mutated buffalo came out slowly.

He is not willing to use his contracted animals to try dangerous things like testing the restricted area, so their subordinates are undoubtedly the best experimental subjects.

Among all the animals, in terms of defense strength alone, the mutant buffalo is definitely one of the best. Among the same level, the only ones with stronger defense than them are the white rhinoceros, hippopotamus, and elephant.

But these mutated creatures brought out from the zoo are very precious, of course Ye Feng is unwilling to use them as cannon fodder.

As the mutated buffalo came out, Ye Feng thought about being on the safe side, took out the third-level life fruit, and threw it to the other party.

The second-order mutant buffalo was signaled, and swallowed the life fruit in one gulp.

After eating the life fruit, the aura of the mutated buffalo became stronger.

Then under Ye Feng's order, the second-order mutant buffalo began to approach the restricted area, and the mutant king cobra and mutant goshawk immediately followed up, so that Ye Feng could switch the possession state at any time and observe the situation inside.

When the second-order mutated buffalo approached within 300 meters of Xiaofeng Mountain, it began to hesitate and refused to go forward.

Obviously, with the second-order mutant buffalo's perception of danger, it can clearly sense the great danger ahead.

The loyalty of the subordinates of these contracted animals is actually very average. They surrendered only because of the strong deterrence of their own kind.

It's usually fine, but when life is in danger, how can you still obey orders.

But at this moment, Ye Feng couldn't help it, and the third-order mutant buffalo staring at him suddenly let out a moo cry.

At the same time, the mutated king cobra, mutated goshawk, and big yellow dog all erupted in deterrence, locking onto the second-order mutated buffalo.

Sensing the deadly threat from behind, the mutated buffalo no longer hesitated, stomping on the ground and rushing directly into the restricted area.

Almost instantly, the strange energy in the restricted area enveloped the mutated buffalo.

That kind of weird energy seems to be quite terrifyingly corrosive.

The surface of the mutated buffalo's skin was festered in an instant, and its aura also began to decline.

But at this moment, a surge of vitality surged out of its body, and it began to quickly repair the festering skin on its body surface, and the aura of the mutated buffalo's body also instantly stabilized.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng was overjoyed. Sure enough, the power of life could offset that strange energy.

In this case, he really has the foundation to explore the restricted area.

Of course, it's just the foundation. Ye Feng doesn't think that the only danger in the restricted area is this kind of weird energy.

Moreover, the life force in the mutated buffalo's body was limited, and it was impossible to help him recover all the time, so if he really wanted to explore the restricted area, all these factors had to be taken into consideration.

Next, Ye Feng let the mutated buffalo stay at the edge of the restricted area. The first thing he wanted to test was how long the third-order life fruit could keep the mutated buffalo inside.

Ye Feng didn't wait long before he got the answer he wanted.

10 minutes!
After only 10 minutes, the life force in the mutated buffalo's body was exhausted, and its skin was also rapidly festering.

At this time, without Ye Feng's order, the mutated buffalo rushed out frantically.

Because it had been staying on the edge, it escaped smoothly, but even so, half of the skin on its body was festered and festered.

Ye Feng was not stingy, and directly threw a second-order life fruit to the opponent to let him recover quickly.

"This is equivalent to staying inside for 10 minutes, and you need to consume 1000 points of spiritual energy to resist. Although the consumption is a bit exaggerated, it is still within my tolerance."

Ye Feng thought quickly in his mind, but he still did not act rashly, but proceeded to the next round of testing.

Next he will conduct a set of comparative tests.

He directly called another second-level mutated buffalo, as well as a second-level mutated sparrow.

Let them take the second-order life fruit, and then enter the restricted area together.

By comparing the two, he can know whether his own defense is resistant to these strange energies.

Soon the mutated buffalo and mutated sparrow were driven in.

The life force contained in the second-order life fruit is limited, so this time the mutated buffalo only lasted for 3 minutes before escaping from the restricted area.

This is within Ye Feng's experience.

But the weaker mutated sparrow actually stayed inside, and it wasn't until the 9th minute that the life force in his body was exhausted and he escaped.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng was a little dazed, and didn't understand what was going on at all.

"The weaker the defense, the longer the resistance?"

This is unreasonable at all, and Ye Feng always feels that something is wrong.

He closed his eyes and began to remember.

After possessing mental power, Ye Feng's memory was also greatly enhanced, and what happened just now flashed in his mind like a slideshow.

After a while, Ye Feng opened his eyes brightly.

Then he did a repeat test.

This time, after the second-order mutated buffalo and mutated sparrow entered, Ye Feng switched his possession state to the mutated goshawk.

Every detail of the mutated buffalo and mutated sparrow that was eroded by strange energy was clearly seen by him.

With his field of vision greatly enhanced, Ye Feng could clearly find that the speed of skin ulceration on the mutated sparrow was almost twice as fast as that of the mutated buffalo.

This is the same as his guess. The stronger the defense, the stronger the resistance against this strange energy.

The reason why the mutated sparrow lasted longer than the mutated buffalo was entirely because of its smaller size and less strange energy.

If the two were the same size, the mutated sparrow would definitely be the first to fail.

And such a discovery is naturally useful to Ye Feng.

Originally, according to Ye Feng's plan, he planned to send the most defensive mutant buffalo to explore the restricted area.

But now he feels that it would be better to replace it with a big yellow dog.

After all, the rhubarb dog is small, so it should be able to last longer. In addition, it is agile. Even if it is in danger, the probability of escaping is greater.

Moreover, the dog's sense of smell, vision, and hearing are superior to those of the mutant buffalo, so it is naturally easier for Ye Feng to go in and search.

After making a plan, Ye Feng quickly acted.

He asked the big yellow dog to eat a third-order life fruit first, and the dog still had one in its mouth, just in case.

After doing all this, Ye Feng switched the possession state to the big yellow dog, and entered the restricted area in a row.

Soon he felt that the restricted area was full of strange energy.

When he came in, these strange energies immediately attached to it. It was extremely corrosive, like strong sulfuric acid.

Even though the big yellow dog has reached the third level, but its defense is not strong, the skin on its body began to fester in an instant.

It is the first time Ye Feng has come into contact with this kind of energy intuitively, "Is this weird energy? It's so corrosive, I just ask you to corrode energy."

At this time, as the body is injured, the life force contained in the body will automatically flow to the wound to repair it.

Ye Feng didn't move, but stood quietly and felt for a while, and soon he deduced that with the corrosion rate of these energies, the life force in his body could last at least half an hour.

If counting the life fruit in his mouth, he could stay in this restricted area for a full hour.

"That's great, then I don't need to be in a hurry, I hope this exploration can yield some useful information." Ye Feng muttered, while controlling the big yellow dog to move forward.

But after only advancing 100 meters, he stopped.

"How did the concentration of corrosion energy increase? Moreover, it has increased by about 10% in such a short distance."

Ye Feng continued to walk forward, and found that the concentration of corrosive energy was also increasing sharply as he continued to move forward.

This can't help but make him secretly startled. It is entirely conceivable how high the concentration of this corrosive energy will be if it reaches the central area of ​​this restricted area.

Ye Feng walked forward while thinking about these things, but at this moment, his pace couldn't help but slow down.

He was really afraid that he would break into a place with extremely high corrosive energy all of a sudden, causing the big yellow dog to die instantly.

After all, such weird places have appeared, and it is normal for some incomprehensible dangerous situations to appear here.

Soon Ye Feng arrived at the foot of Xiaofeng Mountain.

Then with some apprehension, he started to climb the mountain.

But just a short distance ahead, he stopped again.

"Why is the concentration of this corrosive energy not increasing but decreasing?"

Ye Feng walked back with some doubts, and found that it wasn't that he felt wrong, it was indeed the case.

He quickly went up the mountain, and soon found that the closer to the top of the mountain, the lower the concentration of corrosive energy.

After thinking for a while, Ye Feng returned to the foot of the mountain.

This time he didn't climb the mountain, but crazily planed the ground with his forelimbs.

Although the big yellow dog is not good at strength, as a third-order mutant creature, its strength has reached at least two tons, and every time it moves its feet, it can bring out a large piece of soil.

A dog hole was formed quickly, and Ye Feng didn't stop, the dog hole was still extending inward.

"As I thought, the concentration of spiritual energy has indeed increased."

"In other words, the source of this corrosive energy is inside Xiaofeng Mountain... Eh, that's not right!"

When a huge rock appeared in front of him, Ye Feng changed the direction of digging a little, and immediately discovered that as he dug down, the concentration of aura increased sharply.

After a little comparison, Ye Feng confirmed that the source of the corrosive energy is below the ground.

He immediately changed the direction of digging and headed underground.

In the blink of an eye, 10 minutes passed, and Ye Feng had dug a full 100 meters underground.

The corrosive energy here is 10 times stronger than that in the surrounding areas.

The big yellow dog has already taken the second life fruit, and has consumed most of it.

"No, I can last another minute at most, but I don't know how far I am from the source." In the end, Ye Feng sighed and began to control the big yellow dog to return.

However, this trip was not all fruitless, at least he had a deeper understanding of these corrosive energies.

And the next step is how to deal with it.

But in this situation, it is obvious that it is impossible to solve it by relying on his personal ability alone.

So he has already planned to inform the military about the news here in the restricted area.

……

The sky was completely dark by now.

Although it only took one day, with all the construction power used in the entire Yangcheng City, a full 30 kilometers of defensive walls have been built, and the foundation construction has been completed.

Laying the foundation is the most difficult thing. Once this step is completed, the subsequent construction will just be filled with concrete and boulders according to the drawings.

At this time, Zhang Ji was leading a group of men from the Sixth Regiment, escorting a full 200 dump trucks back.

"Secretary Cao, this is the last batch of boulders delivered today, which is enough for you to rush to work tonight." Zhang Ji came to Cao Guangzhi and said.

Cao Guangzhi, the secretary-general, is one of the persons in charge of the construction of the defensive city wall, mainly coordinating all parties and following up on the purchase of various materials.

"It's been a lot of hard work, but the raw materials for the boulders are still a little insufficient. The amount recovered from the mining needs to be increased by at least 20% from this basis to fill the gap. Can you rush to dig more tomorrow?" Cao Guangzhi was registering. asked quickly.
