Chapter 265 Crossing the River

Ye Feng was a little surprised to hear Zhang Ji say this, "Can you tell me the reason?"

"The number of exotic fruits we have collected is limited, and at most half of our team can be upgraded to the fourth level."

"By then, even if we can finally get through, there will definitely be heavy casualties."

"Instead of that, it is better to go directly with you. After we get there, we will not go deep. We will just rest on the spot, and then let the rest of the team break through. After improving our strength, we will make other plans."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ji paused and said in a firm tone: "As for the dangers we will encounter when going to the middle area, we have naturally considered this, but since we are here, we have the awareness of facing danger."

Hearing the other party say this, Ye Feng could not help but nod.

Indeed, if the other party decides to go to the middle area, this approach will undoubtedly minimize the losses.

"Okay, then you will follow our large army and cross the river together! After we go there, we will sweep a large area once, and you will stay in the place where we swept to break through, which should be much safer." Ye Feng said.

"Thank you so much." Zhang Ji said gratefully.

Ye Feng waved his wings, signaling them to follow the mutant panda, and then continued to command the animal army to make the final formation adjustment.

Soon the army continued to move forward, and at this time, the largest mutant elephant was walking in the front.

Boom!

As the animal army moved closer to the river, the movement here also attracted the piranhas in the water.

They came to the shore and were ready to go.

The thick-skinned mutant elephants were not afraid at all and stepped into the water.

Those piranhas that reached the peak of the fourth level also launched an attack immediately, and their fangs were really sharp.

Even the thick-skinned mutant elephants were bitten by them in an instant, and some even had a large piece of meat torn off.

Seeing this scene, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "The attack power of these piranhas has definitely reached the level of the initial stage of level 5, otherwise it would not be possible to break the defense of the mutant elephants so easily."

Although the attack power of these piranhas was a bit beyond Ye Feng's expectations, everything was still under control.

Seeing these mutant elephants, enduring the pain, and then the huge elephant trunks over 40 meters long went directly into the water.

The flexible elephant trunks wrapped around the piranhas that were still biting them, and then pulled them up and threw them behind them.

Following these mutant elephants were mutant tigers and mutant lions.

These forest kings and grassland kings had already popped out their claws and exposed their fangs.

When they saw the piranhas swung over, they pounced on them before the other party landed, and gave them a few claws in the air.

But another scene that surprised Ye Feng appeared.

Although it was just a claw attack, whether it was a mutant tiger or a mutant lion, their attack power was not covered.

Facing a normal fourth-order mutant creature, even if one claw cannot rip the opponent's stomach open, it can at least cause serious injuries.

But at this time, the sharp claws, attacking these piranhas, only scratched the fish scales on the opponent's body surface.

"This defense is probably comparable to those fourth-order mutant creatures that are best at defense." Ye Feng was a little amazed.

Whether it is attack power or defense power, this is the top existence of fourth-order mutant creatures. If it is a one-on-one situation, it is estimated that there are really not many fourth-order mutant creatures that can beat them.

But unfortunately, this is destined to be an unfair contest.

The piranha that was thrown into the air never landed. When these mutant tigers and mutant lions waved their claws to attack, they would give another upward force to make the piranha fly again.

At this time, five or six tigers and lions surrounded the piranha, constantly waving their claws. After dozens or hundreds of attacks, it was equivalent to lingering it to death in the air.

However, this was a bit too time-consuming, so the mutant tigers and lions quickly changed their fighting methods.

At first, they would still use their claws to attack, but after making a large enough wound on the opponent, they would see the right time to bite and directly end the opponent's life with their sharp fangs.

In this way, the piranhas were pulled out of the water by the mutant elephants and thrown to the back, and then quickly killed.

Of course, the only price of doing this is that these mutant elephants will be bitten constantly, and their thighs will soon be injured.

But it doesn't matter. As long as they are injured to a certain extent, these mutant elephants will retreat, and then the mutant giant pandas or mutant big yellow dogs will come forward and use their life healing ability to quickly treat their injuries.

Especially the mutant big yellow dogs, which move quickly, are simply the best medical soldiers on the battlefield.

In this way, the huge army of animals slowly entered the river and continued to advance.

But soon, Ye Feng found something wrong. According to what he had observed before, there were only thousands of piranhas in this section of the river at most.

After they entered the river, they had killed more than 500 piranhas. Logically, there should not be many piranhas left.

But now the attacks of these piranhas are getting more and more fierce, and the number is increasing instead of decreasing.

Ye Feng immediately switched the state of possession to the mutant goshawk, then flapped his wings and flew directly to the front, using his super vision to observe.

Soon he found that there were many piranhas in the lower reaches of this river, rushing towards this direction.

And he also found that these piranhas would enter a state of excitement and bloodthirstiness whenever they came into contact with the river water stained with blood.

"So these piranhas are attracted by blood?" Ye Feng frowned slightly.

Because after a round of inspection, the number of these piranhas has increased to four or five thousand, and as the blood spreads downstream along the river, it is likely to attract more piranhas.

This situation was not only discovered by Ye Feng, but also by Zhang Ji.

There are life detectors in their power armor, and through the detectors, they can find that there are a large number of life forms in the lower reaches of the river, coming towards them.

In this case, it is absolutely false to say that they are not nervous.

At this time, someone in their communication channel had already started to discuss nervously.

"What do you think we should do? Now the number we have detected has exceeded 4,500, and according to the model, in the next 10 minutes, this number may surge to more than 10,000. Can the army of the Dragon King Hall stop it?" Someone said in the communication channel.

"It's really hard to say! The fourth-level mutant animals on the Dragon King Hall side are only over 10,000, but they are all at the early stage of the fourth level, but these piranhas are all at the peak of the fourth level. I'm afraid they can't win if the number is close." Someone immediately took over.

For a while, the tense atmosphere permeated the entire team, and some people even suggested whether to retreat. After all, the animal army of the Dragon King Hall has not yet completely entered the water, and it is safe for them to retreat.

"Shut up, if anyone does not believe in the Dragon King Hall, they can leave the army now, no one will stop them, but don't disturb the morale here, let alone drag their feet." Chen Dalong's low voice sounded in the communication channel, and everyone instantly quieted down.

On the one hand, other cities do not know as much about the Dragon King Palace as Yangcheng.

On the other hand, Chen Dalong showed his super strength when he was on the road before.

When they were in the most dangerous time before, they encountered a mutant black bear at the peak of the fourth level. Everyone thought it would be a fierce battle.

But Chen Dalong rushed over alone and was able to directly suppress the mutant black bear. The battle ended in just a dozen seconds, and he was not injured at all.

In this team, there may be someone who is comparable to Chen Dalong in terms of realm, but in terms of combat power, it is far inferior.

So he is undoubtedly the strongest in this team. At this time, when he spoke, the rest of the people were silent.

And the development of the next thing also really let them see the strength of the Dragon King Palace.

After Ye Feng explored the situation, he immediately switched the possession state to the mutant wolf king, and then let out a roar.

Through the wolf king's mental power, he directly transmitted his orders to the minds of every mutant animal.

In an instant, 500 elite animals that had been gathering strength inside the formation came out.

It was indeed difficult for other fourth-order mutant animals to deal with these fourth-order peak piranhas. They had to fight with more to win.

But for these 500 elite animals that were blessed with attributes by Ye Feng, these were just fourth-order mutant creatures and could not pose any threat at all.

The fastest ones were the 100 mutant hippos that were good at water.

When Ye Feng chose them, he was also worried that he would encounter a situation of fighting in the water after entering the ancient ruins. Unexpectedly, it was just right to use them now.

After the mutation, these hippos have greatly enhanced their ability to fight in the water, and their flexibility is simply not comparable to that on land.

Relying on the blessing of terrifying power, the speed at which they burst out in the water is not slower than these flexible piranhas.

To deal with these piranhas, they only need to open their mouths wide and take a bite. The strong bite force and thick and long teeth can directly bite these piranhas in half.

Moreover, with the blessing of Ye Feng's attributes, the super strong defense is not afraid of the attacks of these piranhas at all.

So after these 100 elite mutant hippos rushed out, the pressure on the defense line was instantly reduced by more than half.
