Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 149 - 134 Negotiation Representative: Giant Panda_2

Chapter 149: Chapter 134 Negotiation Representative: Giant Panda_2

Facing the Big Yellow Dog, Ye Feng’s roots struck out with full force, without any reservations.

Merely in an instant, he lashed out over a dozen times.

But all his attacks fell through.

The Big Yellow Dog’s form seemed to turn into a streak of yellow lightning, weaving through the dense forest with remarkable agility, evading all assaults.

Though the Big Yellow Dog’s top speed might not be the fastest among Third Order Mutated Creatures, its ability to dodge and weave in a small area was terrifyingly effective.

Even many of its movements seemed to defy the laws of physics, like how it could be charging forward at full force one moment and the next, it would reverse course, completely ignoring inertia.

For other animals, that would simply be impossible.

And it was precisely because of this that the Big Yellow Dog’s evasion was utterly unpredictable. Unless one possessed absolute speed domination, it was truly difficult to land a hit on it.

After trying relentlessly for a full half minute and finding that he couldn’t even touch the Big Yellow Dog, Ye Feng gave up on fighting with a single root and instead extended five roots at once.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Moments later, the Big Yellow Dog was thrashed to the point of skin splitting and flesh bursting open.

"The Big Yellow Dog’s speed is definitely on par with a Fourth Order Mutated Creature, and if it can dodge my attacks, it’s because of its small size,"

"A normal Fourth Order Mutated Creature would be at least as tall as five or six floors. With such a huge body, it’s impossible for me to miss."

"So, my biggest weakness, speed, or at least attack speed, has not just been compensated for through persistent effort, but has reached a top-tier level," Ye Feng assessed inwardly.

After testing his strength and agility, it was now time to evaluate his resilience.

Ye Feng fetched his shotgun and, using his spiritual power to control it, fired two shots directly at the roots.

This time, he used armor-piercing bullets.

But even with armor-piercing bullets, they only managed to leave a slight dent on the surface of the roots, not even penetrating the outer bark.

What’s more, the dents that did appear were restored to their original state in the blink of an eye.

"At this point, the defensive power of my roots could rival the toughest alloy. With so many roots for defense, firearms can no longer pose any threat to me."

"Even a heavy machine gun could, at most, only break through a layer of my skin, and an anti-material sniper rifle would not be able to pierce my roots."

"I suspect that these roots could even withstand the hit from a ’Reaper’ missile," Ye Feng excitedly concluded after assessing his roots’ defensive capabilities.

Now he was just Fourth Order, but once he made the breakthrough to Fifth Order, he might be fearless even against "Tian Xun" missiles.

After reflecting on this, Ye Feng also tested the recovery speed.

Although the recovery speed hadn’t been enhanced, he had reached Fourth Order, which was definitely a significant improvement over the Third Order.

He soon called over the Mutated Wolf King and merged his roots to form a wooden wall, asking the creature to attack it with all its might.

The Third Order Mutated Wolf King, at its full power, concentrated its colossal strength of tens of tons into its claws, and yet it could only scratch a 10cm deep wound on the roots.

And that 10cm deep, more than 1 meter long wound, took less than three seconds to heal.

Such recovery speed was astonishing; even if Ye Feng left his roots immobile, with such a rate of recovery, the Mutated Wolf King wouldn’t be able to break a single root no matter how it attacked.

After thinking for a while, Ye Feng called the Big Yellow Dog over and allowed it to attack with full force.

But what happened next surprised Ye Feng.

With a single bite from the Big Yellow Dog, the tree root that was as durable as alloy suddenly bore a bowl-sized hole.

And the Big Yellow Dog’s mouth, relentless, bit furiously, which scared Ye Feng into rapidly withdrawing his roots.

He had no doubts that it wouldn’t take two seconds for his root to be bitten through.

"What kind of attack power is this?" Ye Feng had to reevaluate the Big Yellow Dog’s capabilities.

However, his gaze soon returned to the roots, where the bowl-sized injury was visibly healing at an observable rate.

With ample Spiritual Energy supporting it, the large wound completely healed in less than 20 seconds.

"Tsk, tsk! Once I break through to Fifth Order and choose to enhance the healing speed of my tree roots, I won’t have to worry about any war of attrition."

"As long as the enemy can’t sever my tree roots in one blow, I can recover from injuries in just a few seconds. What could they possibly use to fight me?"

Ye Feng evaluated his own combat power and was quite satisfied with it.

Of course, he was not without weakness—if the enemy got close and attacked his Tree Body, it would still be very dangerous.

But if the enemy could penetrate the layers of over 400 tree roots and directly attack his Tree Body, then they would likely already be powerful enough to crush him head-on; thus, the presence or absence of this weakness wouldn’t make much difference.

Ye Feng glanced at the time and realized it was already half-past seven, leaving just one last hour until the scheduled negotiation.

He immediately summoned all his Contracted Animals.

Ye Feng’s gaze swept over them, as he considered which one would be the best representative to send.

The Mutated King Cobra was definitely out of the question as humans would likely see it as the big boss.

Dealing with the Mutated King Cobra would mean resolving all troubles, and in such a case, the military might inevitably harbor some thoughts.

Looking around at the remaining Mutated Beings, Ye Feng’s eyes finally settled on the Giant Panda sitting beside him, munching on bamboo.

"I choose you," Ye Feng decided without much hesitation.

After all, pandas hold a special place in the hearts of the people, and with their somewhat silly and adorable appearance, they can instantly max out their impression score.

Ye Feng felt that by sending a panda as the representative, the chances of a successful negotiation would at least instantly increase by thirty percent.

...

While Ye Feng was selecting a representative, the atmosphere on Yang City’s side was even more tense and cautious. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Two days prior, the General Staff had already started making plans.

Just last night, to prepare for today’s negotiations, they held a meeting that lasted three hours before finalizing all details.

After all, this could very well be humanity’s first collaboration with Mutated Beings. No amount of caution could be considered excessive.

Chen Dalong arrived at the City Guard Department early in the morning and was currently dressing in the uniform of a Second Lieutenant with the assistance of a protocol officer.

Alongside him were Pei Jin and Wang Feng.

The top three Superhumans were invited to join the negotiator group.

Of course, Chen Dalong was getting dressed in the uniform of a Second Lieutenant, while Pei Jin and Wang Feng were only wearing the uniforms of ausubaltern, a far cry in terms of rank.

However, neither of them showed any signs of dissatisfaction on their faces. After all, the gap in strength was apparent, and Chen Dalong had previously been a Second Lieutenant. These were differences they could not match.

As the three were getting dressed, Zhang Ji pushed the door open and walked in.

"Captain Zhang!" The three immediately stood up and saluted.

"How’s your preparation going?" Zhang Ji asked upon entering.

"No problem, we’re all dressed and ready to leave at any moment," replied Chen Dalong immediately.

Pei Jin and Wang Feng both nodded repeatedly.

"I’m not asking about your uniforms, but about your psychological readiness."

"You should be aware that you’re being called in to show off a bit, to represent that we humans also have powerhouses, at least those with the promise of becoming powerhouses."

"So, it’s possible the other side might test your strength. Be ready for combat," Zhang Ji stated solemnly.

Although according to the General Staff’s estimation, the likelihood of such a scenario was not great, regardless of the odds, they had to make every possible effort to perfect each detail.

At his words, Pei Jin and Wang Feng’s expressions shifted slightly, and upon exchanging glances, they could see the fear in each other’s eyes.

After the crisis with the Mutated Beings had ended, they naturally took the time to understand the entire process of the incident at Yang City Zoo, keenly aware of how terrifying those Mutated Beings truly were.

Especially those Third Order Mutated Creatures—if they actually made a move, they could probably squash them with a single stomp.
