It would require 2400 Spiritual Points to break through, which is quite an exaggerated requirement.
If this were applied to a normal Mutated Being, I'm afraid after reaching the Third Order, breaking through a Minor Boundary would take quite some time.
But for Ye Feng, it was just so-so.
With the breakthrough to the Third Order and the tree roots reaching 430 meters, the amount of Spiritual Energy he could harvest per hour had also greatly increased.
By Ye Feng's estimate, he could now harvest approximately 215 Spiritual Points per hour.
If all the collected Spiritual Energy was used for levelling up, he wouldn't need 12 hours to break through a Minor Boundary.
Moreover, this was just the Spiritual Energy he could obtain from harvesting plants.
If the Mutated Beings hunted by his subordinates were also included, this time could be reduced by a great deal.
If he really wanted to, breaking through two Minor Boundaries in one day would still be no problem.
Of course, Ye Feng was not planning to rush things to that extent, he still wanted to nurture his subordinates first.
After that, breaking through one Minor Boundary a day would suffice.
Time quietly passed, and about three hours later, all the animals that had just eaten the Mutated Fruit had successfully completed their breakthrough.
After the breakthrough, these Mutated Animals had undergone huge changes.
"They've grown so much! It's like they've been inflated," Ye Feng couldn't help but remark.
The two little sparrows, upon reaching the Second Stage, had grown to the size that could match ordinary eagles, and their beaks and claws became sharper, flashing a cold light.
As for the Mutated Black Crows and Bats, their size change was even greater, standing on the ground with their wings folded, they were half a meter tall and over a meter in length.
If their wings were spread, the wingspan could reach 5 meters.
As for the Mutated Buffalo, needless to say, after reaching the Second Stage, its body was comparable in size to a van.
This reminded Ye Feng of the Mutated Wild Boar he had encountered before, which must have also been of the Second Order.
In the end, Ye Feng's gaze fell on the Mutated Mouse in the corner.
"Ah San Country's mice, as expected, have reached the Second Order."
Looking at the Mutated Mouse in front of him, he felt a bit dazed, as if he saw again the scene in the video where the armed forces of Ah San Country were beaten and defeated.
He could now confirm that many of Ah San Country's Mutated Mice had already reached the Second Order.
The Second Order Mutated Mouse, compared to the First Order, did not have too much of an increase in size, being only comparable to a small dog like Teddy.
And this lack of significant change in size meant that they had "levelled up" in other directions.
From the previous videos, it was obvious that Ah San Country's Mutated Mice were incredibly agile, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to move through a hail of bullets.
Clearly, some of their "levelling up" points had been allocated to agility.
This kind of "non-standard" allocation often results in extraordinarily developed abilities in some areas.
"Come, let's see how your combat strength is after the breakthrough."
Ye Feng uniformly issued a sparring command to these Mutated Beings.
Then he pulled out six tree roots and whipped them toward the six Mutated Animals.
This was both to ascertain their combat power after the breakthrough and to see if it would be possible to refresh their Loyalty.
After all, when the King Cobra was hit before, its Loyalty directly increased by 3%.
Now, after these Mutated Beings' breakthrough, their Loyalty was basically above 90%, and hitting them might allow them to reach 100% even faster.
The 6 mutated beings that received the command reacted immediately as Ye Feng swung the tree root.
Except for the Mutated Buffalo, the rest basically chose to dodge.
But the gap between them was evident; even though they chose to dodge at the first moment, it was futile.
Ye Feng had reached the Third Order, and the flexibility of the tree roots had been enhanced again, greatly increasing their speed.
Thus, the two sparrows had just taken flight when they were struck by the tree roots.
With a thud, they were directly pulled back to the ground, and a large number of feathers fell where they were hit, with even blood seeping out.
A single tree root could exert a force of 500 jin—this was no joke.
Just one hit severely wounded them, and then the tree roots restrained them; in an instant, the two Mutated Sparrows were defeated.
As for the Mutated Black Crow and the Mutated Bats, their overall strength was stronger than the two Mutated Sparrows.
They could barely dodge the whip strikes of the tree roots, but it was still a close call; a slight touch would cause injury.
And facing the relentless assault from Ye Feng, defeat was only a matter of time.
The Mutated Mouse, however, performed rather well. After breaking through to the Second Stage, it was quite agile, and even managed to find opportunities to counterattack from time to time, using its sharp claws or teeth to gnaw at the tree roots.
Unfortunately, its attack power was too weak to even break the tree bark.
It wasn't until Ye Feng brought out a second tree root that it was driven into a dead end.
In less than a minute, whether it was the Mutated Mouse or the Mutated Bats and Mutated Black Crow struggling in the air, they all fell one after another.
"This combat power is a bit weak! They won't even win against stronger First Order creatures," Ye Feng was slightly disappointed.
Soon, only the Mutated Buffalo was left in the arena.
It was the size of a minivan and could be described as tough-skinned and fleshly; a tree root's force of 500 jin merely tickled it when it hit its body.
But unfortunately, that was all it could do—passive defense. Its body was too cumbersome to counterattack; it could only endure the beating passively.
Of course, with Ye Feng, a stalemate was impossible.
If one tree root wasn't enough, then two, then three.
Ye Feng was surprised to find that when he stacked his tree roots to eight, creating a combined force of 2 tonnes, it finally caused the Mutated Buffalo to stagger and start backing away.
Even with 2 tonnes of massive force, it only managed to push back the Mutated Buffalo, causing blood marks to appear on its skin.
But to consider it seriously wounded was still far from the truth.
In the end, Ye Feng kept increasing the number of tree roots to 12, finally bursting out with a full 3 tonnes of force, seriously wounding the Mutated Buffalo.
"This defensive power is really impressive," Ye Feng couldn't help but praise.
In future actions, this would serve as the perfect meat shield.
After all the testing was complete, the evaluation of combat power also came out.
The sparrows were the weakest, and of course, the Mutated Bats and Mutated Black Crow weren't much better, all of them could be dealt with a single tree root.
The Mutated Mouse was slightly more troublesome, but just slightly; two tree roots were enough to handle it.
As for the Mutated Buffalo, its combat power was hard to judge. Although it had great defensive power and strong bursts of force, it was too cumbersome.
All the animals in the arena, when counted, probably none could be slower than it. In a situation where it couldn't counterattack, Ye Feng found it difficult to determine its combat power.
Of course, even though these mutated animals weren't much on their own, if teamed up and with their abilities complementing each other, they should be able to unleash considerable combat power.
Finally, he could seek revenge on that Mutated Wild Boar.
