Chapter 256 The Terrifying Insect Army and the Ecstatic Chen Dalong
After these mutant animals broke through to the fifth level, their wisdom increased significantly again, at least equivalent to that of teenagers.
In this case, Ye Feng did not need to explain many things, they could understand the importance of things by themselves.
For example, now they know that only by defending the next ring, obtaining the power given by Ye Feng's taproot, and entering the ancient ruins, can they have a greater chance of winning the great opportunity.
That is the shortcut for them to quickly become stronger and surpass their companions.
So looking at the six huge rings, the fighting spirit of each mutant animal was burning.
The first to move was the mutant king cobra.
With a swish, it rushed to the nearest ring, raised its head high, spit out its snake tongue, and looked at its companions with its cold eyes, and the warning was self-evident.
With its lead, the other mutant animals were not to be outdone and quickly rushed to the remaining rings.
However, there were only 6 rings, which meant that there were definitely not enough places.
In the end, only the mutant king cobra, mutant tiger, mutant lion, mutant yellow dog, mutant jaguar, and mutant goshawk managed to grab the ring.
Among the six of them, the first one to be challenged was the mutant African leopard, which relied on its speed to grab the ring.
The first to challenge was the mutant wolf king, who had superpowers and released a sonic roar as soon as he got on the stage.
Although it was unable to shock the mutant jaguar, it also caused the opponent to have tinnitus and even a little dizziness. The mutant wolf king took advantage of this and defeated the opponent after fighting for several minutes.
During this period of time, the other mutant creatures on the ring were also challenged one after another.
Especially the mutant rhinoceros, mutant brown bear, mutant elephant, which are strong.
Even if they don’t have superpowers, they can directly make their physical strength reach an exaggerated level with their superb physical fitness and the increase of spiritual energy.
The mutant elephant challenged the mutant king cobra. With its thick skin and flesh, it directly withstood the opponent's poison and stepped on the mutant king cobra, causing serious injuries.
The mutant king cobra was not reckless. After receiving Ye Feng's treatment, it turned around and challenged the mutant big yellow dog.
Although the big yellow dog was agile and had high attack power, its defense was weak. The mutant king cobra's poisonous ability allowed it to release poison arrows and spray poison mist over a large area.
This poison mist was absolutely fatal to a creature with weak defense like the mutant big yellow dog.
After the big yellow dog was defeated, it did not entangle. It took a quick look at the other defending animals on the ring and quickly chose the mutant rhino.
Although the mutant rhino had strong defense, it was relatively bulky. After a fierce fight, it didn't even touch the big yellow dog's hair and was seriously injured by it.
From then on, every battle could be said to be a bloody battle.
Unless they are mutant sparrows and mutant mice, which really have little fighting power, they will definitely not admit defeat.
Even mutant hedgehogs dare to challenge mutant tigers.
And the mutant tiger did not win this battle easily. Its right claw used for attack was pierced with several holes.
Of course, Ye Feng would not let them fight all the time. Each animal has only three chances to challenge the ring at most.
If all of them are used up and they fail to completely occupy a ring, then they really lose.
This defense battle lasted for three hours before it was completely over.
This time was much longer than Ye Feng expected. Of course, it took so long mainly because the treatment took more time.
After all, these animals relied on Ye Feng's life healing ability to back them up. Every battle was a bloody battle. Unless they were seriously injured, they would never admit defeat.
Moreover, Ye Feng also modified the rules in the middle, mainly for flying mutant creatures.
Because after the mutant black crow came on stage, it used its air advantage to hover all the time. Every time it looked for an opportunity, it took at least ten minutes, which was too time-consuming.
As a last resort, Ye Feng directly built a cage with tree roots and limited the flying height to less than 200 meters.
Moreover, these flying mutant creatures could not hover in the air for more than one minute, otherwise they would be judged as losers.
It was also because after he made the rule, the mutant goshawk, which had always maintained an undefeated state, was defeated by the mutant elephant once.
The main reason was that when it attacked, it could not quickly injure the mutant elephant, and then the mutant elephant seized an opportunity and entangled its wings with its nose, so it could not fly.
However, the mutant elephant was soon defeated by the mutant giant panda.
The mutant giant panda relied on its giant power ability and could burst out 500 tons of giant power at only the fifth level, and knocked the mutant elephant off the stage.
And finally, when the challenge times of all mutant creatures were used up.
The mutant creatures standing on the six stages are: mutant king cobra, mutant big yellow dog, mutant goshawk, mutant giant panda, mutant tiger, mutant lion.
From this point, it can be seen that under the same realm, these mutant creatures with superpowers are indeed more powerful than those without superpowers.
At this time, the mutant wolf king and mutant honey badger standing under the stage were full of unwillingness, because their superpowers were more inclined to auxiliary types rather than direct combat.
But Ye Feng didn't say much. If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose. Just work hard in the future.
And even if they only get the attribute bonus from his lateral roots, they still have a huge advantage, and they may not get good opportunities.
After selecting his contracted animals, the next step is to select 500 fourth-level mutant animals from among the mutant animals in the Dragon King Palace to give him the power of side roots.
By then, this batch of mutated animals will be the real main force.
It is worth mentioning that these days, Ye Feng has tried to give the other mutated animals in the Dragon King Palace the ability to transfer attributes.
Originally, according to his idea, he mainly wanted to see if these mutated animals would escape control after their strength increased dramatically.
But after trying the new ability, he found that he was worrying too much.
Because he had only tried it on his contracted animals before, he had not discovered the hidden ability of attribute transfer.
That is the object whose power is transferred, and there is actually a temporary contract with him.
Moreover, the binding force of this contract is not weak. If the other party dares to resist his orders, the power transferred to the other party will riot, ranging from rupture of internal organs to death on the spot in severe cases.
Therefore, Ye Feng can now raise an elite team without any worries about the opponent's rebellion.
After thinking for a while, Ye Feng quickly decided on the list of 500 places.
First of all, air power, this must be guaranteed, 100 mutated goshawks.
Secondly, since we don’t know what kind of environment it is inside, and considering the possibility of fighting under the sea, 100 mutant hippos are also needed.
Finally, there is the ground combat capability. 50 mutant elephants and 50 mutant rhinos were selected each. These two creatures can serve as solid backing.
Then 50 mutated tigers and mutated lions were also selected, and they were the main force in the attack.
In the end, there were 100 places left, and Ye Feng chose mutant jaguars and mutant giant pandas, 50 each.
The former is fast and can serve as a scout, while the latter is purely for likability.
Moreover, the mutated giant panda is still a bear clan after all, and its attack power is not much different.
After the 500 quotas were finalized, Ye Feng began to select specific targets.
The ones chosen are naturally the ones with the strongest combat power from each race.
After a month of training, more than half of the animals in the Animal Legion have reached the fourth level.
Therefore, these fourth-level mutant animals can enter together even if they are not selected.
Even those third-level mutant animals, if conditions permit, Ye Feng will send them in.
If these third-level animals could benefit from being in the ancient ruins and break through to the fourth level, he would be able to save a lot of effort.
These are the arrangements of the Animal Legion.
However, in addition to the animal army, the Dragon King Palace also has an insect army.
Compared to before, the insect army was just a foil, doing some chores. Now after more than a month of training, they have suddenly become the real main force.
Among the insect army, the number of mutant bumblebees and mutant fire ants now exceeds 100,000.
In other words, these two races can directly raise an army of 200,000 insects.
Moreover, what is calculated here is mutated insects of level three and above.
And among the 200,000 insect army, more than half have reached the fourth level.
In addition, there are 1,000 mutated fire ants and 1,000 mutated bumblebees, reaching the fifth level.
It can be said that with the passage of time, the potential of the insect army has truly emerged.
More than a week ago, with the mutant red fire ant queen and mutant bumblebee queen, they successively broke through to the fifth level.
The potential of the fifth generation fire ants and bumblebees they produced is even more exaggerated than the previous generations.
Their growth rate is five times that of similar mutant insects. Although these mutant insects are only born for a week, their growth rate is equivalent to that of other people for more than a month.
Moreover, the fifth-generation mutant insects not only grow quickly, but their combat effectiveness is at least 100% higher than that of previous generations.
Under this situation, even if they are mutated insects, their combat power cannot be underestimated.
Take fifth-level mutant red fire ants as an example. Their size exceeds two meters. In addition, ants are inherently good at strength. When possessed by spiritual energy, they can explode nearly 50 tons of force.
Although this kind of power is still not comparable to those of real fifth-level mutant creatures, the problem is that there are so many of them!
As long as 10 mutant fire ants are sent out, they can compete with a normal fifth-level mutant animal.
If 100 of them are sent out, they can be completely crushed.
The number of mutated fire ants that have reached the fifth level is a full 1,000. If they come together, even the sixth level mutant creatures can bite them to death alive.
As for mutant bumblebees, although they do not have the terrifying power of mutant ants, they also have their own trump card: poisonous tail needles.
After these bumblebees mutate, even if their tail needles are detached, they will not die and will grow back over time.
And with continuous evolution, they can even fire their tail stingers as hidden weapons.
The toxins contained in the tail stings of these fifth-level mutant bumblebees can completely knock down a fourth-level mutant animal.
Even a fifth-level mutant animal can't stand 10 poisonous stings.
It can be said that the current insect army has the ability to deal with high-level animals.
As for low-level ones, let alone, the sea of insects tactics are no joke.
The only thing that makes Ye Feng a little regretful is that the number of fifth-level mutant insects is a bit small. If there are more than 100,000 or 200,000, he feels that there is nothing to do with the animal army, and the insect army should be able to push through directly.
But he also knows that it is difficult to do this.
Because he also found that perhaps because of the rules in the dark, the more powerful the mutant creatures are, the more difficult it is to produce offspring.
Even mutant insects that are good at fertility efficiency cannot escape this fate.
After reaching the fifth level, the mutant bumblebee queen and the mutant red fire ant queen can only produce 500 insect eggs per day.
It takes 200 days to lay 100,000 eggs if 5,000 eggs are laid in 10 days.
So according to this situation, it is unknown how long it will take for Ye Feng to realize the army of one million insects that he had envisioned before.
Of course, the overall strength of the mutant insect army will definitely become stronger in the future, so he is not worried.
After considering the troops to be sent to explore the ancient ruins tomorrow, Ye Feng was free.
Now there is only one thing left to do, which is to accumulate spiritual energy.
In the past month, in order to cultivate these members of the Dragon King Hall, the more than 43 million spiritual energy he had previously stored has been exhausted.
Tomorrow he will enter the ancient ruins, and he may encounter some situation. If he does not store a few million spiritual energy, he will not feel at ease.
But fortunately, he can harvest almost 5 million spiritual energy in a day, so it is not too late to do this thing on the last day.
In a blink of an eye, time has come to the evening.
Today, Sunset Inn is quite popular, at least it is quite famous in the whole Sunset Town, and all eight inns are full.
Even the rooms for the next few days have been booked out.
As long as such business is maintained, then in the case of sufficient cash flow, an additional chain store can be opened every week.
In this case, Ye Xiangfeng was naturally very happy, and originally planned to drag Chen Dalong and a drunk man with him.
However, Chen Dalong declined the offer on the grounds that he was preparing to explore the ancient ruins tomorrow.
"Brother Chen, when entering the ancient ruins, you must do what you can. There is no need to worry about running out of firewood!" Ye Xiangfeng said with a complicated expression.
If he and the other party exchanged identities, he might not dare to take the risk.
"Well, I will. When I am not here, the business of the inn will depend on you alone, but don't worry, I have already made arrangements for all parties, so there should be no problem." Chen Dalong said.
After the two sides exchanged polite words, Chen Dalong left in a hurry.
Then he drove back to his villa at the fastest speed.
He suppressed his ecstasy, clicked on the message sent by the parrot messenger, and read it again carefully.
The content of the message was very simple, praising him for doing a good job today, so he got a special reward.
That is, to get the blessing of the power of the Dragon King.
