Chapter 258: Unusual Movements in the Forbidden Zone, Fighting for the Relics
When the team from Yangcheng arrived in Tianhe City, the city gates were closed and the defense level was at full capacity.
There was no other way. The ancient ruins were less than 10 kilometers away from Yangcheng City, and over the past month, hundreds of millions of mutant insects and millions of mutant animals had already gathered nearby.
Therefore, Tianhe City would be attacked by mutant animals from time to time, and the alert level had already been raised to the highest level.
Even several surrounding cities helped to support some teams to come and garrison, bringing the number of troops here to a full 300,000.
After showing their identities, the team from Yangcheng City quickly entered the gate, and then, under the guidance of the soldiers, came to a huge square.
After the rest of the teams from Donghai Province arrived, they were also arranged to come here to rest.
At this time, there were already more than 20 teams here, and the number of strong men above the third level reached more than 360, and more than 80% of them were superpowers.
When the members of Yangcheng City saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh. As time went by, their human beings had gradually become stronger.
The arrival of the team from Yangcheng City naturally attracted the attention of many people.
After all, Yangcheng is now different from the past. It has become a first-tier city, and it is likely to become a super first-tier city in a few months.
More importantly, they have a very close cooperation with the Dragon King Palace, and have a unique advantage in cultivating talents.
So these strong men from various cities in the field are a little curious about what kind of team Yangcheng will send out.
Tsk!
As the pneumatic doors of the five armored vehicles opened, the people on them walked down one after another. The strong men from other cities in the square all showed surprised expressions, and even caused a small commotion.
There is no way, the number of teams coming from Yangcheng is a bit outrageous.
The cultivation resources of ordinary cities are limited, and it is considered good to be able to upgrade 20 to 30 people to the third level.
But Yangcheng came down in one breath. 150 people, one city is equivalent to six or seven cities.
And not only are there more people and better equipment, but also other individual weapons, they can take them out, but power armor is really expensive.
But Yangcheng City took out 30 units at once, and such financial resources are beyond the reach of other cities.
Of course, they were mentally prepared for all this, but what really surprised them were the huge red fire ants and bumblebees following them.
To be honest, when they saw these mutant insects getting off the armored vehicles, many people subconsciously drew their guns.
These mutant red fire ants and mutant bumblebees are real fifth-level creatures. Even though they are insects, the oppressive feeling they exude is enough to make 99% of the people in the field feel a fatal threat.
However, these are absolute human elites in the field, and their commotion is only a moment, and they will recover quickly.
Of course, it is inevitable to glance over here from time to time.
The heads of various cities also took the initiative to come over and greet Zhang Ji at this time, mainly to hint at the matter of these mutant insects.
When they heard that the real combat power of these mutant bumblebees and mutant red fire ants could be comparable to that of fourth-level evolvers, their eyes were red with envy.
"Can you help us contact the Dragon King Palace? No matter how much it costs, Guangyuan City will never bargain."
"And our Jiangpu City is willing to pay a 30% premium to hire these mutant insects."
The heads of various cities rushed to speak.
There is no way. The combat power of these mutant insects is so strong. If each person in their team can also be equipped with one, the overall combat power can be increased by at least three or four times.
"I can understand everyone's urgency, but according to my understanding, this kind of mutant insect that has reached the fifth level is really not a matter of money." Zhang Ji spread his hands and said.
Seeing that everyone looked disappointed, he thought for a while and added: "The large force of the Dragon King Palace should be coming soon. You can ask the parrot messenger in person. I can take you there to introduce it. As for whether the deal can be made, it depends on you."
Hearing Zhang Ji say this, some hope rose in the hearts of the people in the field.
As time went on, the number of teams gathered here increased and became larger and larger.
After all, there are only five ancient ruins in the country, which means that there are no ancient ruins in many provinces.
Therefore, teams from not only Donghai Province but also the two neighboring provinces will come to the ancient ruins of Tianhe City.
None of the teams that arrived later could be as amazing as Yangcheng City.
Even Yuncheng City, a first-tier city, is far behind Yangcheng City. They sent only 50 people, equipped with 20 power armors.
If the only thing worth praising is that these 50 people are all superpowers, which is much more than the 20 people in Yangcheng City.
As time went by, when it was 8 o'clock in the morning, more than 1,000 third-level evolvers and superpowers had gathered in the square.
There were even 10 fourth-level masters.
And the members of each city team also took this opportunity to get to know more masters from other cities and get closer to them.
No one knows what is going on inside the ancient ruins. If there is any cooperation, try to get close now, as it will be useful later.
While they were talking, someone shouted: The Dragon King Palace is here.
Instantly, thousands of people here all looked up at the sky in the distance, where a huge flock of birds covering the sky and the sun was approaching quickly.
The other party had not even approached yet, but the power they exuded alone made everyone feel breathless.
Obviously, the reason why they felt this way was not only because of the large number of birds, but also because the realm of these mutant birds was higher than theirs.
Seeing this scene, many people were shocked. Compared with a month ago, the Dragon King Palace had undoubtedly become more powerful.
In fact, it was not just the flock of birds, the ground was also shaking slightly at this time. As long as someone looked down from a high altitude, they could see what the real beasts were galloping.
In this month, all the mutant animals that Ye Feng had asked Liu Zaoxin to buy had been purchased.
And later, Ye Feng bought a lot of mutant animals one after another.
So far, all the contracted animals under his command, except for the giant panda, each has 1,000 mutant animals under his command.
So now the number of animal corps in the Dragon King Hall has exceeded 24,000, not to mention the mutant insect army.
And not only is the number large, but the quality is also very high. There is no one lower than the third level, and at least more than half have reached the fourth level.
You can imagine how powerful such a lineup is.
However, it is impossible for such a large team to enter Tianhe City. The animal corps stayed outside, and only the mutant parrot entered.
After breaking through the fifth level, the size of the mutant parrot also skyrocketed again, with a wingspan of 50 meters. Even if it was alone, it could bring a lot of pressure to the thousands of people in the field.
However, this pressure disappeared instantly as Ye Feng's breath converged.
At this time, Zhang Ji and others came up and greeted respectfully, "Hello, Parrot Messenger!"
"Yes!" Ye Feng nodded and said, "In about an hour, the ancient ruins will be officially opened. Are you all ready?"
"In general, we are ready, but they have something to ask you, so let me help them." Zhang Ji said, pointing to the heads of various cities behind him.
Ye Feng asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"It's like this, can we hire the fifth-level mutant red fire ants or mutant bumblebees from your Dragon King Hall?" The head of Guangyuan City bowed slightly and spoke first.
Hearing this, Ye Feng glanced at them, then looked at the Yangcheng team not far away, and instantly understood everything.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. After all, we only have 1,000 fifth-level mutant red fire ants and mutant bumblebees, and they need to follow into the ruins to protect the queen ants and queen bees."
Hearing Ye Feng say this, the heads of the cities in the field couldn't help but show disappointment on their faces.
"However," Ye Feng changed the subject and said, "There are no fifth-level ones, but there are quite a lot of fourth-level ones, which you can hire."
No one in the field expected that things would turn around like this, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces.
"Then I wonder how strong these fourth-level mutant insects are? And what is the hiring price?" The person in charge of Guangyuan City asked again.
"Their combat power is probably equivalent to that of a third-level evolver. Whether it is a mutant red fire ant or a mutant bumblebee, the hiring price is 3 million each." Ye Feng said.
After reaching the fourth level, mutant insects can also use spiritual energy to protect their bodies, which undoubtedly greatly improves their combat power.
So after reaching the fourth level, even mutant insects can burst out with strength comparable to that of a third-level evolver.
Hearing Ye Feng say this, the eyes of the leaders in the field lit up. The combat power of the third level is no worse than the main force they sent out, and the hiring price is not expensive at all.
So these people did not hesitate and applied for hiring.
However, Ye Feng sent them directly to Zhang Ji and asked him to count them and then come to him to tell him that he would send all these mutant insects at once.
Then the square was quite lively. Everyone was discussing excitedly whether they should cooperate with the red fire ants or the bumblebees to truly bring out their combat power.
Ye Feng did not pay much attention to these things. He had switched the possession state to the mutant goshawk to observe the situation on the ancient ruins.
At this time, the energy barrier on the ruins side was getting thinner and thinner, as if it would break at any time.
"It should not be much different from what I guessed before. The energy barrier will completely disappear in at most one hour, and the ancient ruins will be officially opened." Soon Ye Feng shifted his gaze to the mutant creatures below.
It must be said that if the mutant creatures gathered here really united, then the animal army of the Dragon King Palace would also be terrified.
But unfortunately, these animals are destined to fight each other, and they are even about to fight now.
And he also knew that the military had a plan to eliminate mutant creatures.
Globally, it is hard to say about other places, but at least the mutant creatures gathered near the five ancient ruins in China will be cleared.
When Ye Feng was thinking about these things, he suddenly realized something and immediately switched his consciousness back to his body.
At the same time, his eyes looked towards the direction of the restricted area of Xiaofeng Mountain.
He could feel that there was a strong spatial fluctuation spreading there, and at the same time, a strong breath appeared underground.
"Sure enough, those ancient masters in the restricted area can't sit still." Ye Feng was a little dignified.
Although they had made such speculations before and even prepared a response plan, it was still a big trouble.
However, the abnormal movement of the restricted area also showed one thing, that is, the things in the ancient ruins are probably more precious than they expected before.
It is even so precious that even ancient masters like Qiongqi have to fight for it.
After Ye Feng discovered the problem, the troops stationed in Xiaofeng Mountain quickly discovered the abnormal movement in the restricted area with instruments.
Although they had prepared a plan, they had seen how dangerous the restricted area was, so everyone was very alert.
At the same time, in the Yangcheng meeting room, Bai Yinghui and Liu Zaoxin were watching the situation in Tianhe City through remote communication equipment.
Suddenly, Bai Yinghui's communicator rang, and when he saw the caller ID, his expression changed slightly.
He answered the call immediately, and after just two sentences, his expression became extremely serious.
"Is there a problem in the restricted area?" Liu Zaoxin asked immediately.
"Yes!" Bai Yinghui nodded and said, "According to the plan, you should contact the parrot messenger immediately. We need to confirm the activation of the No. 1 response plan in the shortest time."
Liu Zaoxin quickly took out his phone and called Zhang Ji.
At this time, in Tianhe City Square, Zhang Ji was surrounded by a group of responsible persons and was making a purchase statistics table.
Seeing the phone ringing, Zhang Ji didn't care much and picked it up casually, but after just two sentences, his expression suddenly changed.
"What! There is something unusual in the restricted area?"
As Zhang Ji exclaimed, the crowd who were still discussing in the field suddenly fell silent.
Although there were not many people who had fought in the restricted area, it did not mean that they did not know how dangerous the restricted area was.
It can be said that everyone felt nervous at this moment.
Zhang Ji took his mobile phone and walked quickly to the mutant parrot.
"Parrot messenger, this is Mayor Liu's call, please answer it." He turned on the hands-free and handed it to Ye Feng.
Liu Zaoxin on the other side of the phone was about to speak when he heard Ye Feng say: "Lord Dragon King already knows about the restricted area."
"It is observing the situation in the restricted area. It will notify you which plan to use based on the specific situation."
