Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Successful Upgrade, Super Camouflage

TL: Etude

“There are still many mutant creatures in here that haven’t awakened.” Li Ye’s gaze turned towards a passageway on the right.

“There are still mutant creatures inside?!” Hearing Li Ye’s words, Zhao Chengkong’s eyes filled with shock.

On their way here, he thought all the mutant creatures were contained in the previous room’s containers. He didn’t expect there to be anything else here. But now, with Li Ye’s revelation…

“Be careful. This place is the most dangerous.” Luo Zhendong spoke in a deep voice. Although the mutant creatures inside hadn’t emerged like the mutant rats earlier, they still couldn’t afford to be careless.

“Understood.” Everyone tightened their grip on their battle knives and followed Luo Zhendong cautiously into the passageway.

As they stepped into the passage, the surrounding lights automatically turned on.

“What is this…?!”

Luo Zhendong and the others had been here before and weren’t too surprised. However, Zhao Chengkong, who had never been here, could clearly see the situation inside once the lights came on.

There were numerous glass containers!

And inside these glass containers were many animals!

“Dodos?!”

“Triceratops?!”

“Mammoths…”

Zhao Chengkong continued walking forward, his eyes widening as he looked at the creatures in the enormous glass containers.

Stunned!

It was absolutely stunning!

Who would have thought there would be such things here!

“These creatures have been extinct for countless years…”

He muttered to himself. The scene before him was beyond belief. The two mutant Tyrannosaurus Rexes at the entrance of the ruins had already been shocking, but who could have imagined there would be so many more extinct creatures here!

“Are these creatures also mutated?!” Zhao Chengkong took a deep breath, calming himself before he couldn’t help but speak.

“Yes. In ancient ruins around the world, there are similar glass containers with various creatures inside. Some are extremely large.” Li Ye spoke seriously.

Luo Zhendong had already moved forward, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding glass containers for any signs of damage.

“There’s a crack.”

Soon, Luo Zhendong stopped in front of one of the glass containers. This container held a giant pterosaur.

The surface of the container clearly showed cracks!

“Boss, won’t this shatter?!” A man quickly walked over, looking at the cracks on the container, feeling a bit unnerved.

“It might. Any crack can potentially lead to shattering.” Luo Zhendong’s expression grew more serious.

“If the container shatters, will this thing come back to life?” Zhao Chengkong also walked over, staring at the giant glass container with a sense of dread.

The previous resurrection of the mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex had already given them a hard time. If this pterosaur were to revive…

It would undoubtedly be even more challenging to deal with!

“Not sure,” Luo Zhendong frowned. “We need to contact headquarters about this situation. See if we can get reinforcements.”

As he spoke, he felt an immense headache. Who could have predicted that this trip to Longyin City would bring so many problems?

It wasn’t just the sudden appearance of numerous extraterrestrials in Longyin City; even the EL organization had set its sights on it.

Now, the situation within these ancient ruins was also becoming worrisome.

If this continued, who knew if the mutant creatures here would wake up as well?

“By the way, keep an eye out over the next few days. See if you can find the controller behind that mutant creature.” Luo Zhendong seemed to remember something and immediately addressed the group.

“The one covered in golden flames?” Li Ye asked, slightly taken aback.

“Exactly. That mutant creature has helped us several times. It can’t be a coincidence. There’s probably a powerful individual behind it, controlling it to assist us. If we can find them, it would greatly reduce our burden.” Luo Zhendong nodded seriously.

“Got it.” Everyone nodded earnestly in agreement.

…

As the sun set, most of the people near the Hualong Pond had dispersed.

Dragon Mountain was somewhat remote, and driving there was inconvenient.

Moreover, many had noticed an increase in the number of wild animals in Dragon Mountain recently. Snakes, wild boars, and the like had become more frequent. Especially at night, these animals seemed to appear even more often, causing people to leave quickly.

At that moment, beneath the Hualong Pond, a pair of eyes like flames suddenly opened.

“The upgrade is complete.” As Lin Hao opened his eyes, he fully awakened. “My strength has clearly increased a lot.”

Sensing that there was no one around, he swam around the Hualong Pond. His growing size made the pond feel somewhat cramped.

“If this continues, I’ll need to find another river to stay in.”

As he pondered this, a system panel appeared before his eyes.

Level: 34

Body Length: 15 meters

Weight: 9897 jin

Combat Power: 520

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

Divine Ability: Auspicious Guardian lv10

Evolution Points: 107,418/180,000

“My combat power only increased to 520? That’s barely any increase.”

Lin Hao felt a bit disheartened at the small increment in his combat power. He had expected it to at least reach 550!

“But it seems my Camouflage skill has upgraded to Super Camouflage.”

Examining the changes on the system panel, Lin Hao was surprised. The original skill allowed him to blend with his surroundings when stationary.

Now, as Super Camouflage, what would it entail?

Focusing on the skill, he saw a clear description:

Super Camouflage: Can actively control your body to match the texture and color of surrounding objects.

“Hmm!?”

“Active release!”

“Not only can my body match the color of my surroundings, but it can also mimic the textures and patterns!”

“In other words, if I stay next to a rock, I can not only match its color but also mimic its texture and pattern!”
