Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 983 - 569 Protector

After clearing the battlefield, the group once again hit the road.

At this time, Jiang Minying, who was leading the way, was not as cautious as before.

Based on her assessment of Ye Feng’s strength, she estimated that even encountering three to five patrol teams, they might still prevail in battle.

Of course, they were on enemy territory and needed to keep a low profile.

Just like earlier, encountering just one team was ideal, safe, and quite fruitful.

It seemed that his prayers had an effect, for about 5 minutes later, they encountered another patrol team.

There was nothing to discuss, they used the same method—disturbing the enemy’s communication, Ye Feng then performed a Space Sealing, and hunting became an easy task.

However, these two teams were too close to each other, and losing contact within a short period could easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, after clearing the battlefield, Ye Feng had Jiang Minying take a different direction to infiltrate, in order to avoid running into any teams coming to investigate the situation.

...

As Ye Feng led the team deeper, within the War Fortress, a middle-aged man dressed in a Tianyuan Divine Court First-Level Deacon Robe looked speechlessly at the screen in front of him.

"Deacon Wei Shan, should I try to call them back?" asked Chen Huai Shui, the manager of the War Fortress, barely suppressing his amusement and speaking earnestly.

"Forget it, Elder’s orders were to protect them secretly. I shouldn’t even let him realize my presence, let alone interfere with his mission," Wei Shan said somewhat helplessly.

Being a God King Seed, Ye Feng was naturally highly valued by the Heavenly God Court. Generally, once he left Tianyuan Star, a Protector would follow him.

This time, the one who received the order and was dispatched was Wei Shan, who was arguably the strongest First-Level Deacon of the Sixth Elder’s Lineage.

His Realm had already reached the High-Level Divine Spirit Peak, which was equivalent to the realm of the Elders, the only lack being the level of rules under his mastery.

That meant, unless the Primordial Temple sent someone of Elder Level, it would be very difficult to eliminate Ye Feng right under his nose.

"What do you plan to do then?" Chen Huai Shui asked.

"What else can I do but make a trip there!" Wei Shan spread his hands and said.

"This... do you want me to assign a team to you?" Chen Huai Shui asked, his expression serious.

If it were anywhere else, he would never offer such a thing, but this was the Tianxing Minefield, even if the adversary was at the High-Level Divine Spirit Peak, his Realm would still be suppressed here.

Potentially, forming a large Formation of over a hundred Tenth Order Strongmen might trap Chen Huai Shui to death.

If something like that really happened, the folks at the Primordial Temple would probably die laughing.

And he certainly wouldn’t fare well either.

Wei Shan was not the type to be overly confident. After a slight hesitation, he nodded,

"Alright, then I’ll trouble you. Of course, we don’t need too many people, just around three squads will do."

"But they must be elite, preferably with experience in infiltrating and engaging enemies from behind."

Chen Huai Shui immediately agreed to this small request, "That’s no problem, I’ll arrange it right away."

...

Ye Feng naturally had no idea that his mission at the Tianxing Minefield was causing such a stir among the upper echelons.

After all, matters regarding Protectors were completely confidential to him.

Even though Ye Feng had speculated that the Heavenly God Court would protect his safety to some extent, he knew nothing about the specific details.

That’s exactly why, from start to finish, he never considered such external support. All his plans centered around his own strength.

He continued leading his team deeper, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

During this period, they encountered three patrol teams, perhaps because there had been a war earlier, and these three teams were already alert.

But in the face of overwhelming power, they couldn’t stir up any trouble, and were easily wiped out without being able to send out any information.

"Captain, if my tracking is not wrong, all three targets should be in the outpost a million kilometers away,"

"What should we do next, should I hide on the side and wait for their appearance?" Jiang Minying’s voice once again came from the Secret Array Disk, her tone filled with a hint of eagerness.

After five easy victories, everyone’s mindset had changed, and Jiang Minying was already far from the initial nervousness she had felt.

Ye Feng thought briefly and then shook his head, "If it were usual, that wouldn’t be a problem, but we just killed five patrol teams on our way here."

"Although we change our direction after each battle, generally we’ve been heading toward this area."

"If they are slightly cautious, without any special circumstances, they probably wouldn’t choose this time to come out."

The others, hearing Ye Feng’s analysis, couldn’t help but frown.

To know, the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it became.

If the enemy stayed inside the outpost for a day or two, they would likely have to retreat proactively.

"Then... should I take the initiative to lure them out?" Jiang Minying hesitated slightly.

In the past, she would never dare to do such a thing, but she believed that Ye Feng had the ability to save her at a critical moment.

Ye Feng didn’t answer; after a brief pause for thought, he quickly made a decision and said directly.

"No need for such trouble, if they are cautious, they definitely won’t fall for it so easily. Instead of making it so complicated, we might as well take the offensive."

"Take the offensive?"

The others didn’t quite understand what Ye Feng meant, weren’t they already trying to lure them out? Wasn’t that being proactive?

"Exactly! Aren’t they hiding inside the outpost? Then let’s simply destroy this outpost."

"Even if the mission reward is halved, it won’t be less than an A-rank mission!" Ye Feng declared something that left everyone dumbfounded.

This time, even Xiao Yuner couldn’t help but say, "Ye, isn’t this too dangerous?"

To know, they were already deep into enemy territory.

Attacking an outpost in such a situation, if they couldn’t secure it quickly, reinforcements from all sides would converge on them.

Even with Ye Feng’s strength, getting out would not be an easy task.

"Don’t worry, I have an idea, and I’m not planning to attack the outpost directly like the others," Ye Feng said.

The outpost didn’t have much offensive power, but its surveillance and defensive capabilities were very strong. Even a True God Strongman would struggle to destroy it quickly.

Normally, to take down these outposts, several squads are needed to form a formation and attack continuously.

Their squad, having only five people, naturally could not employ such a method.

As for the method Ye Feng would use, it was simple yet difficult.

The sturdiest fortress could be easily breached from the inside.

This was what Ye Feng planned to do next.

Of course, for anyone else, this plan would remain just a thought. The defense of these outposts was all-encompassing; one couldn’t simply say they were infiltrating and then do it.

But Ye Feng was different because he possessed the Supreme Rule.

"After the defense array of the outpost disappears, I will teleport you all inside, be ready," Ye Feng instructed, then disappeared from everyone’s sight.
