Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Scaled Dragon?_1

Ye Feng looked at the King Cobra as it bit down on a huge rock, only to find that more than half of the rock had corroded away in just a half-minute.

This scene truly gave Ye Feng quite a shock.

Keep in mind, this was merely the corrosive nature of the venom itself.

What was truly frightening about the venom were the neurotoxins and blood toxins within.

One could easily imagine, during a fight, just one bite from the King Cobra, injecting its toxin into the body, would likely result in a fate worse than death.

Having assessed the combat power, Ye Feng began to inject spiritual energy into the King Cobra.

To his surprise, he had poured in 100 Spirit Points before the creature could no longer absorb it.

Clearly, after the breakthrough to the Third Order, the internal spiritual energy storage of the creature had increased significantly compared to the Second Stage.

As for how many Spirit Points it could absorb each hour, that would need further observation.

Moreover, how much spiritual energy the King Cobra needed to absorb to break through a Minor Boundary was another issue of concern to Ye Feng.

But these were not conclusions that could be reached in a moment or two; they required ongoing observations and records.

However, after completing a series of tests, as Ye Feng was about to let the King Cobra go, he was somewhat astonished to discover two protrusions on its head.

The protrusions were only about 5 centimeters each, which was inconspicuous compared to the King Cobra’s massive size, causing Ye Feng not to notice them at first.

Located on either side of the head, perfectly symmetric, they couldn’t help but trigger a flood of speculation in Ye Feng’s mind.

“If these two protrusions grow a bit longer, they would really look like horns!” Ye Feng said, and as he did, his gaze towards the King Cobra turned a bit odd.

If the creature continued to evolve in this manner, would it eventually become a Scaled Dragon?

“Don’t think too much about it for now, or you’ll just trouble yourself. Wait until its next evolution to find out,” Ye Feng was quite expectant.

The loyalty of the Mutated King Cobra finally reached 100% after its breakthrough to the Third Order.

This not only meant that he could directly perform Possession, but also indicated that the loyalty had been “locked” and would never decrease.

This allowed Ye Feng to boldly cultivate the creature without the fear of betrayal.

…

As night fell, the bustle of Yang City gradually subsided.

After a day of intense “Four Pests” cleaning campaigns, both the City Guard Team and the volunteers had gone home to rest.

But the fervent discussions online were far from over.

At the moment, Ye Feng was browsing through a forum.

He found that some netizens, taking an interest in the day’s events, calculated the number of rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and flies that were cleaned up from various streets and created a table.

All the carcasses piled up amounted to a staggering 125 truckloads.

This undoubtedly proved the success and smooth proceedings of today’s operation, having eliminated such an abundance of “Four Pests.”

However, this news also caused a lot of panic, as no one had expected there to be so many mutated beings in the city in which they lived.

Given that today’s cleaning covered, at most, only one-sixth of Yang City, one could imagine just how many mutated beings lurked underground.

At present, many people were discussing this thread.

Ice Cream Coffee: “There are way too many mutated creatures!”

Chunsheng: “Exactly! Cleaning up one-sixth of the area filled 125 trucks, if the whole city is cleaned up, these ‘Four Pests’ could easily fill 750 trucks at least.”

“That’s not the scariest part. The scariest thing is that the ‘Four Pests’ campaign was just conducted two months ago. This is such an alarming reproduction rate!!!”

Time Goes By: “The person above, I just checked some past data, let me tell you an even more terrifying fact, the last ‘Four Pests’ campaign resulted in carcasses that filled up 20 trucks.”

“So it means not only have they revived from the ashes, but they’ve also increased nearly 40 times in the past two months.”

Underdog: “Oh come on! Don’t make stuff up! That’s too scary. If this continues for another two months, won’t we be doomed?”

Time Flies: “Who’s making things up? Go see for yourself (link).”

Comrade Zhou Ke: “Everyone stay calm. Once I become a superhuman, I’ll solve all your problems in one fell swoop.”

Qi Heishi: “There’s so much news about superhumans today, are they for real? Hurry up and confirm it officially, I’m dying of curiosity here. Most importantly, tell me how to become a superhuman, that’s the key point.”

Ye Feng glanced at the comments and quietly closed the web page.

He had already possessed and personally seen how many mutated beings were in the city.

If things were left unchecked, the slaughter that happened in Ah San Country would inevitably be repeated.

But even if humans managed to clear the “Four Pests” from the cities, it wouldn’t be nearly enough to ensure safety.

Since his rebirth, he had been observing the situation with mutated animals.

Those mutated animals, especially the ones living in groups, would undergo collective evolution at a certain point in time, drastically increasing their threat.

Just like with the ant colonies here in Sunset Valley, Ye Feng had recently noticed several ant colonies undergoing this phenomenon of collective evolution.

The originally fingernail-sized ants had morphed into the size of ping-pong balls.

Ants that size pose a fatal threat to ordinary humans.

He had a vague feeling that perhaps at a certain point in time, all creatures stuck at a bottleneck would break through together.

By then, the danger to humanity might not come from within the cities, but from the wilderness.

“Forget it, breaking through is the most important thing right now.” Ye Feng no longer dwelt on such matters.

As long as his strength was sufficient, even if a calamity like what occurred in Ah San Country arose, he would have the ability to protect his family.

Although it was only 7 p.m. and the night had just begun, since there were clouds overhead, Ye Feng decided not to wait any longer and to break through immediately.

However, he still needed 15 Evolution Points and 300 Spirit Points.

But that was not a big deal, as it was almost time to harvest Spiritual Energy and then he could add points.

After being busy for half an hour, Ye Feng finally completed harvesting Spiritual Energy and adding points, and he was immediately ready to break through.

This time, after strengthening the “Flexibility” of his roots, he began the breakthrough.

Half an hour later, the breakthrough was successfully completed, and Ye Feng couldn’t wait to open the system panel.

“Feels pretty good, I’ve become more powerful, especially the attack speed of my roots, which is about twice as fast as before.”

“If I were to spar with Big Yellow Dog now, I reckon about ten roots would easily take care of it.” Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction, feeling his enhanced body after the breakthrough.
