Global Cataclysm: I became a world tree

Chapter 2 Devouring Ability
As a tree, unable to move, the targets that Ye Feng can devour are limited.

The first thing he chose was the earthworm in the soil.

With a dense root system network, he wanted to find earthworms in the soil. It couldn't be easier, and he quickly locked one.

It is worth mentioning that today's earthworms have also mutated to a certain extent, and the size of these earthworms is already comparable to chopsticks.

It was a bit scary, but Ye Feng didn't care at all, the taproot moved over and quickly entangled it.

The mutated earthworm still wanted to struggle, but the lateral roots followed closely. After a few seconds, the earthworm was completely subdued.

With a thought in his mind, Ye Feng activated his devouring ability.

Then he could feel that the roots were continuously extracting bits and pieces of aura and bioenergy from the earthworm.

In just ten seconds, the earthworm shriveled up and lost its vitality at the same time.

"Increased 1 point of spiritual energy and biological energy." Ye Feng glanced at the system panel and was overjoyed.

If he absorbs it by himself, it will take at least 1 hour.

But now, I can get it within 1 minute.

Having tasted the sweetness, it is natural to make persistent efforts.

In the next 10 minutes, Ye Feng found a total of 5 earthworms and devoured them all, increasing the aura value and bioenergy by 5 points.

"Is this all gone? There are so few creatures underground." Ye Feng swept the ground again with tree roots, and after confirming that nothing was missed, he sighed softly.

His gaze could only be shifted to the ground.

Compared with the underground, there are many more creatures that can be devoured on the ground.

Ants, centipedes, and crickets passing by are all his targets.

Now his main root is 21.4 meters, and the length of the lateral root is about 80% of the main root, which is 17.1 meters.

Under such circumstances, any insect could easily hunt and kill targets within 17 meters of his tree.

More than 17 meters, you can only rely on the taproot to hunt, and the difficulty increases sharply.

However, he was in the dense forest in the valley, and there were many creatures within 17 meters.

Then it's hunting time!

With him at the center, centipedes, crickets, and ants are all disappearing rapidly.

These three creatures, the mutated centipede with the thickness of a finger, can also provide 1 point of aura and bioenergy, but unfortunately the number is too small.

As for the cricket, it can only provide 0.7 points of spiritual energy, and the mutated cricket is extremely flexible, and can jump one or two meters with a light leap, making it quite difficult to catch.

So compared to these two creatures, mutant ants are Ye Feng's favorite target.

Although the mutated ants the size of a fingernail can only provide him with 0.1 points of aura and bioenergy, the number of ants is large.

From time to time, an ant will pass by his territory during the foraging process, so overall, ants provide the most aura.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye.

Ye Feng glanced at the system panel, the aura value has increased to 20 points, and the bio energy has reached 25 points.

Ye Feng is still very satisfied with this speed of increase in aura value, at least it is much faster than the automatic increase in aura value.

Obviously, his previous decision was correct.

"It's time to add some."

The longer the roots, the easier it is for him to use his devouring ability.

3 minute later.

Ye Feng completed the third time of adding points, counting the previous 3 times of adding points, he has completed 7 times of adding points.

At this time, in the system panel, the value in the evolution point column finally changed from 0 to 1.

"Hey! It turns out that evolution points are obtained in this way. You can get 10 evolution point by adding points 1 times."

"If you collect 10 evolution points, you can complete one evolution. It's not too difficult." Ye Feng was a little surprised.

Of course evolution is more important than making the roots grow longer.

Only by continuous evolution can he become stronger and stronger, maybe to a certain extent, he will be able to break away from the current shackles.

Next, Ye Feng added points while hunting.

The length of his tree roots is steadily increasing at a rate of 20 centimeters per minute.

It wasn't until 25 minutes later that Ye Feng completed 25 points.

That's right, 25 times.

Because during these 25 minutes, along with hunting, he gained another 8 points of aura and biological energy.

At this time, Ye Feng opened the system panel and took a look.

Host: Ye Feng (World Tree)
Tree height: 10 meters

Trunk Width: 0.5m

Root length: 27 meters

Boundary: the early stage of the first order

Evolution points: 3/10 points

Special Ability: Devour

Aura value: 0/100 points

Bioenergy: 8/100 points

In just over an hour, the length of his tree roots has increased by 7 meters, and his evolution points have accumulated to 3 points.

"Very good! If it goes well, I will be able to complete the first evolution tonight." Ye Feng was a little happy, and worked harder.

However, when the time came to 8 o'clock and Ye Feng counted the harvest in the second hour, he realized that he was wrong.

After one hour, he only gained a total of 16 aura points and biological energy.

"There are fewer insects around." Ye Feng frowned slightly.

This is quite bad news, and as time goes by, under his constant devouring, there will definitely be fewer and fewer insects around.

When Ye Feng was feeling a little distressed, suddenly a big mutated frog entered his field of vision.

His current vision is not much different from when he was alive. If he moves the angle of vision to the top of the tree, he can see farther.

At this moment, he looked at the mutated frog, which was jumping in his direction.

According to the forward route of the frog, although it is not coming straight towards his tree, it will also cross the scope of his "territory".

Ye Feng became a little excited. This mutated frog was as big as a normal person's foot.

Swallow it up, at least two or three hundred mutated ants.

Of course, it is not easy to catch it, because this mutated frog has a distance of 5 meters in a single jump. Although his taproot is 27 meters long, there are only two or three chances at most.

He has to be prepared and has already "dispatched troops and generals" underground.

The main root and 100 lateral roots quietly completed a trap under the ground that this mutated frog could not see

Finally, the mutated frog entered his territory.

Ye Feng was not in a hurry to make a move, and quietly waited for the other party's penetration.

When the mutated frog approached within 5 meters, it was about to pass by.

A tree root rose from the ground and entangled directly towards the mutated frog.

The roots of Ye Feng are hidden 1 cm below the ground.

Launching a surprise attack within such a short distance, the mutated frog had no time to react, and its hind legs were entangled.

However, the mutated frog reacted extremely quickly. The moment it was entangled, its thick hind legs kicked the ground hard, and it flew over directly.

Subsequent tree roots failed to connect to the control.

Moreover, the root that entangled the other party was directly torn off.

Ye Feng also felt pain for the first time, as if his finger joints were dislocated.

At this moment, he was really shocked and angry, and at the same time, he intuitively felt the threat these mutant creatures brought to him.

"I was injured by a frog. I'm still too weak. I need to speed up and become stronger."

Ye Feng warned himself, but the tree roots were not slow at all.

Although a tree root was torn off, it also played a considerable role. The jumping distance of this mutated frog was greatly shortened, only jumping three meters.

Moreover, the opponent lost his balance in the air and landed on his side.

At this time, Ye Feng didn't need to hide anymore, the three tree roots near the opponent's landing point had already rushed out of the soil and waved in the air.

Before the mutated frog landed, three tree roots entangled it.

But the mutated frog has great strength, even in this situation, it kept struggling, and found the opportunity to jump up again.

Under the mutated frog's desperate situation, two more tree roots were torn off, but one of them was hanging on it after all, and the mutated frog fell only one meter further.

The rest of the tree roots have already moved over, especially the thick taproot has arrived, they entangled together, and finally subdued it.

Immediately afterwards, the devouring ability was activated and the absorption began.

This mutated frog provided him with a full 25 points of spiritual energy and biological energy.

In this battle, although three of his tree roots were torn off, these roots all have the ability to repair themselves, and the torn parts are not too long, they can grow back in an hour at most.

Just by paying this price, he earned 25 energy points, which must have been earned in blood.

"That's great. It would be great if we could have a few more mutated frogs. Maybe I can evolve directly." Ye Feng was in a great mood.

At this time, he even thought of the mutant wild boar that overturned their bus before.

Such a big mutant boar, if he could devour it, it might evolve more than a dozen times.
