Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree

As a tree, unable to move, Ye Feng is limited in the targets it can devour.

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

With a dense root network, it couldn't be easier for him to find earthworms in the soil, and he quickly found one.

It is worth mentioning that today's earthworms have also undergone a certain degree of mutation, and the size of these earthworms is comparable to chopsticks.

This was a bit scary, but Ye Feng didn't care at all. The taproot moved over and quickly wrapped it around.

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

Ye Feng thought and activated his devouring ability.

Then he could feel that the tree roots were constantly pulling out bits and pieces of spiritual energy and bioenergy from the earthworms.

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

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

If he absorbs it on his own, it will take at least an hour.

But now, I got it within a minute.

Having tasted the sweetness, naturally I will continue to work hard.

In the next ten minutes, Ye Feng found a total of 5 earthworms and swallowed them all, increasing his aura and bioenergy by 5 points.

"Are they gone? There are so few creatures underground." Ye Feng used tree roots to sweep the ground again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he sighed softly.

His eyes could only shift to the ground.

Compared to the underground, there are many more creatures that can be swallowed on the ground.

The ants, centipedes, and crickets that pass by are all his targets.

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

Under this situation, any insect can easily hunt targets within 17 meters of his tree.

If it exceeds 17 meters, you can only rely on the taproot to hunt, and the difficulty increases sharply.

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

Then it’s hunting time!

With him as the center, centipedes, crickets, and ants were all disappearing quickly.

These three creatures, the finger-thick mutated centipede, can also provide 1 point of aura value and biological energy, but unfortunately the number is too small.

As for crickets, they can only provide 0.7 points of spiritual energy. Moreover, the mutated crickets are extremely flexible and can jump one or two meters with a single jump, making them very difficult to capture.

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

Although the mutated ants the size of a finger can only provide him with 0.1 points of spiritual energy and bioenergy, there are many ants.

From time to time, an ant will pass by his territory while foraging for food, so overall, ants provide the most spiritual energy.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Feng glanced at the system panel. The aura value had increased to 20 points, and the biological energy had reached 25 points.

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

Obviously, his previous decision was correct.

"It's time to add more."

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

Three minutes later.

Ye Feng completed the third extra point. Counting the previous 7 extra points, he has completed 10 extra 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 this is how evolution points are obtained. You can get 1 evolution point by adding points 10 times."

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

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

Only by constantly evolving can he become stronger and stronger. Maybe when he is strong enough, he will be able to escape from the shackles of today.

Next, Ye Feng added points while hunting.

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

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

That's right, 25 times.

Because in these 25 minutes, as he hunted, he gained another 8 points of spiritual energy and bioenergy.

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

Host: Ye Feng (World Tree)

Tree height: 10 meters

Trunk width: 0.5 meters

Root length: 27 meters

Realm: Early stage of first level

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 everything goes well, I will be able to complete my first evolution tonight." Ye Feng was a little happy and worked harder and 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 this hour, he only gained a total of 16 points of spiritual energy 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 large mutated frog came into his field of vision.

His vision now is not much different from when he was alive. If he moved the angle of his vision to the top of the tree, he could see further.

At this time, he looked at the mutant frog, jumping in his direction.

According to the frog's route, although it does not come straight towards his tree, it will also cross his "territory".

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

Devour it and it will be able to withstand at least two to three hundred mutant ants.

Of course, it is not easy to capture it, because this mutant frog can reach a distance of 5 meters with just one jump. Although its main root is already 27 meters long, there are only two or three chances to take action at most.

He wanted to be prepared and was already "mobilizing troops and generals" underground.

The main root and 100 lateral roots quietly completed a trap underground where 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 to go deeper.

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

A tree root rises from the ground and winds directly towards the mutated frog.

The roots of Ye Maple are hidden 1 centimeter underground.

Launching a surprise attack at such a short distance, the mutant frog had no time to react before 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 flew directly over.

The subsequent tree roots failed to connect to the control.

Moreover, the tree root that entangled the opponent 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 frightened and angry, and at the same time he intuitively felt the threat these mutant creatures posed to him.

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

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

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

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

At this time, Ye Feng no longer needed to hide. The three tree roots near the opponent's landing point had already broken out of the soil and were waving in the air.

Before the mutant frog even hit the ground, three tree roots wrapped around it.

But the mutant frog is extremely powerful. Even in this situation, it keeps struggling and finds the opportunity to jump up again.

In the mutant frog's desperate situation, two more tree roots were torn off, but in the end one of them hung on it, causing the mutant frog to fall down after only one meter.

The rest of the tree roots had already moved over, especially the thick main root, and they wrapped around it together, finally subduing it.

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

This mutated frog provided him with a full 25 points of aura and bioenergy.

Although three of his tree roots were torn off in this battle, these roots have the ability to repair themselves, and the torn parts are not long and can grow out in at most an hour.

For just paying this price, you have earned 25 energy points, which must be earned with blood.

"That's great. It would be great if there were a few more mutated frogs. Maybe I could evolve directly." Ye Feng was in a very good mood.

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

If he could devour such a big mutated wild boar, he might be able to evolve a dozen times.
