Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 113
Chapter 113: Three Hundred Eighty Combat Power!
TL: Etude
He quickly fell into a deep sleep.
As his level continued to increase, with each new level, he became significantly stronger.
The changes were more pronounced than they had been at previous levels.
…
Meanwhile, at the underground entrance of the ancient civilization’s ruins, Zhao Chengkong and his team still stood, staring at the two mutant Tyrannosaurus Rexes encased in ice.
Crack!
Accompanied by crisp cracking sounds, fragments of ice began to fall off.
The ice covering these two mutant Tyrannosaurus Rexes was steadily decreasing.
Only their heads and chest areas remained covered in thick ice, while their arms and legs were now exposed to the air.
“The cracks are getting bigger, Captain Zhao. Are these things about to wake up!?” One of the government workers couldn’t help but voice his concern upon seeing this.
The current situation was enough to give anyone a headache.
“Not necessarily.” Zhao Chengkong replied calmly.
“Not necessarily?”
“Hmm, even though the ice covering their bodies is almost gone, these mutant creatures might not wake up even when the ice completely melts.” Zhao Chengkong continued to explain.
He was telling the truth. Previously, it was only a hypothesis that these mutant creatures might wake up, but the probability of that happening was not high.
“That’s good to hear. Should we call them back?”
Although Zhao Chengkong’s words brought some relief, the thought that these mutant creatures might still wake up made their scalps tingle.
“They should be fetching something. They should be back soon.” Zhao Chengkong replied in a calm tone.
Entering the ancient civilization’s ruins was quite dangerous, especially when trying to retrieve those sets of battle armor, which was extremely challenging.
“All right.” The government workers nodded slightly, showing expressions of helplessness.
They had no choice but to wait.
If things went awry, they would have to temporarily leave the area.
Time ticked by slowly, and Zhao Chengkong continued to sit nearby, keeping an eye on the two mutant Tyrannosaurus Rexes.
However, despite more ice fragments falling from their bodies, there were still no signs of them waking up.
“They probably won’t wake up.” Zhao Chengkong relaxed a bit upon seeing the situation.
Even if the creatures were infected by the virus, it didn’t mean they could survive in a state of suspended animation for so long and then wake up.
Maybe they were already dead.
“I wonder what’s going on with that mutant creature.”
At this moment, Zhao Chengkong recalled the enormous figure he had seen under the Longyin Reservoir.
It had emitted a golden firelight underwater and had eaten the mutant sea loach before leaving without attacking them!
Just thinking about it seemed unbelievable.
Furthermore, this time, Li Ye and his team mentioned a mutant creature emitting a golden firelight, which made Zhao Chengkong feel like it was the same one he had seen.
“That’s unlikely.” But he quickly shook his head, dismissing his own thought.
The Longyin Reservoir was not close to Dragon Mountain, and one was an aquatic creature while the other was a reptile…
Crack!
Just as Zhao Chengkong was contemplating this, a crisp sound echoed, and it became evident that the ice covering one of the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rexes’ eyes had shattered and fallen to the ground!
“Captain Zhao!” Several government workers immediately jolted in alarm.
The soldiers behind them simultaneously raised their special firearms, aiming at the head of the mutant creature!
“Stay calm.” Zhao Chengkong waved his hand dismissively.
Although he spoke calmly, he immediately stood up, gripping the battle knife embedded in the ground.
The ice covering the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex’s eyes had shattered.
Those blood-red pupils were now fully exposed to the air!
Zhao Chengkong’s eyes remained fixed on the creature’s eyes.
If there was the slightest change, his sharp gaze would capture it instantly!
The atmosphere grew tense.
Every pair of eyes was locked onto the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex’s eyes.
“It hasn’t woken up.”
After a while, Zhao Chengkong’s voice broke the silence, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
“If it hasn’t awakened even after this, it’s possible these mutant creatures were already dead beforehand. Or they might be in a state of deep pseudo-hibernation. As long as we don’t attack them, nothing significant should happen.” Zhao Chengkong continued.
“That’s a relief.” The government workers in the back nodded, visibly relaxing.
The soldiers still kept their guns trained on the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex’s head.
For a moment there, it really seemed like the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex was about to wake up. Those eyes alone felt like they were staring right at them!
Even though Zhao Chengkong assured them it hadn’t awakened, they couldn’t let their guard down just yet.
“Let’s wait. Coach Luo and the others should be back around dawn.”
Zhao Chengkong gripped his battle knife tightly and spoke again.
…
Meanwhile, in the Hualong Pond, golden light flickered as Lin Hao’s eyes snapped open!
Evolution successful!
“Awesome!”
As soon as Lin Hao opened his eyes, he could clearly feel an immense surge of power coursing through his entire body.
All his fatigue seemed to wash away, leaving him brimming with energy.
He could distinctly sense a significant increase in his strength!
Without much thought, he summoned the system panel with a mere thought, and it appeared before his eyes.

Skills: Super Berserk, Super Charge, Super Night Battle, Camouflage, Fire Scale, Powerful Bite, Powerful Tail Slap, Iron Scales

“Combat power… reached 380!?”
“I gained a full fifty points of combat power; no wonder I feel so much stronger!”
Lin Hao felt the increase in his strength, and his eyes gleamed with joy.
His base combat power was 380, but due to the effect of Super Night Battle, his combat power increased by fifteen percent, reflected in the ‘+57’ in the combat power column, making his actual combat power 437!
Thrilling!
“If I also activate Super Berserk, my combat power will surge even more in a short time. The next time I encounter a mutant earth dragon, I’ll be able to handle it with ease!”
Thinking this, Lin Hao felt a surge of excitement.
“The next level-up requires 160,000 evolution points.”
“No way, I need to keep leveling up!”
