Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 170 - 145 First Cooperation_2

Mutated Parrot: "It is what it literally means. A strange corrosive energy has appeared around Small Phoenix Mountain as the center."

"Any living being that comes into contact with this corrosive energy will die quickly, their body will decay, and not even a single bone will be left behind. That place has become a forbidden zone of life."

"What’s even more important is that the range of the forbidden zone is expanding outward at a nearly 10 meters per hour, and if any living beings die within the zone, it will further accelerate its expansion."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin’s first reaction was not fear, but absurdity.

Because such a thing sounded utterly preposterous, as if narrating a spooky tale.

In the meantime, only Chen Dalong deeply believed the Mutated Parrot’s words and began to speculate in his heart.

"Parrot Messenger, could this forbidden zone have been created by some Evil God?" Chen Dalong hastily inquired.

At this moment, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin also suddenly recalled the talks regarding the Ancient Times they had during the alliance negotiations.

Regarding these matters, they and other high-ranking officials had discussed them as well, feeling that the authenticity of such things was at most thirty percent.

It was very likely that the Mutated Parrot was bluffing them.

But now, the appearance of this forbidden zone undoubtedly corroborated what the others had said, so it seemed possible that things like the Ancient Times and Divine Spirits truly existed.

At this moment, the two of them looked at the Mutated Parrot with serious expressions, waiting for its response.

However, the Mutated Parrot slowly shook its head, "I’m not clear on the matter, as our Dragon Lord used a secret technique to reincarnate into later generations early on in the war among the gods."

"So, I’m not very clear about many of the abilities of the Evil Gods. This forbidden zone might be the ability of some Evil God, but it also might not be. As the power of our Dragon Lord has just resurged, many capabilities are still not viable, so naturally, I can’t investigate clearly."

Ye Feng was patching things up.

After all, he knew nothing about the forbidden zone that had appeared, and who knew what would come out later. It would be awkward if he had no answers when questioned.

Upon hearing the Mutated Parrot’s words like this, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin started to believe it a bit more.

"Then have you found a way to resolve the issue of the forbidden zone?" Bai Yinghui immediately asked the key question.

"Indeed, we have found a method. The main reason for the formation of the forbidden zone is because of the presence of corrosive energy within it."

"Lightning can directly eliminate this corrosive energy, but to dispel all the corrosive energy within the entire forbidden zone, an enormous amount of lightning energy is required. Even if our Dragon Lord can summon lightning, it’s beyond his capability to deal with it."

At this point, the Mutated Parrot looked at the two men in front of him and said, "With human technology as it is now, making a lightning device, to create artificial thunder, shouldn’t be difficult, right?"

Hearing this, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin finally understood the reason for the other party’s visit.

"No problem, I’ll speed up the preparations. When shall we deal with the forbidden zone?" This time, it was Liu Zaoxin who asked.

Given his authority, he could directly command the use of equipment and talent from several research institutes, or even if not, he could produce a device at the fastest speed possible.

"Naturally, the sooner the better. The forbidden zone is expanding every moment; the later it gets, the harder it is to resolve," said the Mutated Parrot.

"Give me one night, I’ll have the equipment ready by tomorrow morning," Liu Zaoxin immediately responded.

After the issue was settled, Ye Feng didn’t stay long, hastily exchanging pleasantries before leaving. frёeωebɳovel.com

Mainly because Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin kept probing, especially about matters of the Ancient Times, which made it difficult for him to linger.

...

The next day, in the morning!

The whole city began to bustle as the sun rose, with teams departing from inside the city towards several mines.

The progress of constructing the defense walls was announced every hour almost without fail.

Seeing the astonishing speed of the construction, every resident of Yang City felt a sense of pride. Under these circumstances, everyone’s eagerness to work was incited.

Among these teams leaving the city, a team of over 100 people seemed inconspicuous.

Yet in reality, they were Yang City’s most elite Rapid Reaction Forces.

Bai Yinghui, the division commander, was personally leading the team.

Chen Dalong and a group of Superhumans were also called over, and naturally this was considered a military assignment, with each mission concluding with a tally of military exploits, so they were all quite happy to come.

After leaving the city, the convoy directly followed the road toward Sunset Valley.

That was the agreed upon rally point.

In less than 10 minutes, the convoy arrived on the highway outside Sunset Valley.

At that time, the majority of people in the team couldn’t help but have their gazes drawn to the Iron Birch Tree within the valley that obscured the sky and sun.

"How could it have grown so tall in just a few days?" Jiang Jin, the captain of the Rapid Reaction Forces, looked up at the distant giant tree, his eyes full of disbelief.

The Iron Birch Tree was not just tall at that moment, but also incredibly huge, its dense canopy nearly covered a quarter of Sunset Valley.

Such a giant tree could no longer be described as magnificent; it was simply miraculous.

"It might be due to the Spiritual Energy Resurgence! However, according to the assessments of the Mutant Management Bureau, the growth potential of this Iron Birch Tree far surpasses that of the Old Chinese Scholar Tree on Small Phoenix Mountain." Bai Yinghui also stared at the distant giant tree as he spoke.

"Even with immense potential, it’s impossible for it to have grown this much in just a few days! I feel that this Mutated Iron Birch Tree definitely has a secret," Jiang Jin said to Bai Yinghui with seriousness.

Bai Yinghui couldn’t help but give a wry smile, "Do you really think I haven’t considered that? If this Mutated Iron Birch Tree has a secret, what of it?"

"Don’t forget, this is the lair of the Mutated King Cobra. Do you think it will let us in to unravel its secrets?"

Jiang Jin immediately fell silent, speaking honestly, even to this moment, he was not accustomed to the idea that they could be on an equal footing with such powers.

Chen Dalong, who was eavesdropping from the side, glanced at Jiang Jin from the corner of his eye, "This guy is up to no good! I need to tell Lord Parrot to add him to the blacklist."

Just then, a Mutated Parrot flew out from the woods.

"I didn’t expect you to arrive so much earlier than our agreed time, let’s not delay any further and set out now!" After landing, the Mutated Parrot immediately proposed.

"Will the Dragon King not be joining us?" Bai Yinghui inquired.

"Dragon Lord is already in position on Small Phoenix Mountain. Let’s hurry over, and don’t worry about the safety on the way, our Dragon Hall will take care of it," the Mutated Parrot said before taking off first.

Bai Yinghui and Jiang Jin exchanged looks, each seeing the seriousness in the other’s eyes.

The Mutated King Cobra had already gone over, which meant that the danger level in Small Phoenix Mountain, designated a restricted area, was likely far greater than their initial estimate.

Soon, the convoy set off again.

Just as the Mutated Parrot had said, they were quite safe along the way. They weren’t just spared from Mutated Beings; even the commonplace Mutated Insects only attacked them sporadically.

So in less than 20 minutes, the convoy entered within a kilometer of Small Phoenix Mountain.

At that moment, the Mutated Parrot reappeared and began to lead the way for everyone.

The convoy quickly turned onto a narrow path.

Everyone could tell that this path was only recently trampled into existence.

Indeed, they could even see the huge footprints on the ground.

The trees along the path were snapped, and large rocks had been cleared away.

It was clear that this "new path" had been forcibly cleared in the dense forest by a group of colossal Mutated Beings.

After trembling along the new path for 5 minutes, they finally reached a vast clearing.

Here, they finally saw the Mutated Creature Group active within the dense forest.

Of course, the most eye-catching were the three behemoths at the front of the clearing.

Over 50 meters in length, with scales that glittered with a metallic sheen, was the Mutated King Cobra.

With a wingspan of 50 meters, the Mutated Eagle was currently the largest among the Mutated Beings in both size and stature.

And then there was the snow-white Mutated Wolf King, standing as tall as a three-story building.
