Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 131

Chapter 131: In the Ocean

TL: Etude

In the next moment, as Lin Hao’s entire body emitted bursts of white light, he vanished from where he stood!

He teleported!

In that instant, his body was transported directly to a coastline in Longyin City.

Nearby, several fishing boats were moored along the shore.

“How long has it been already? How much longer will the sea remain closed?”

“If this keeps up, how are we supposed to make a living?”

“…”

On some of the fishing boats, lights flickered visibly. Several fishermen sat at the bow of one boat, playing cards under the dim light while voicing their concerns.

“Yeah, they didn’t even say how long the sea closure would last.”

A middle-aged man, smoking a cigarette, threw out a playing card as he spoke.

“Why don’t we go out at night and catch something? Just don’t get caught.”

Another man in a red short-sleeved shirt glanced around before suggesting in a low voice.

Hearing his words, the other two, who had been focused on their cards, looked over at him.

The three exchanged glances, each deep in thought.

Indeed, the sea closure had caused them significant losses.

“Stop it! Don’t even think about it!” The middle-aged man who had spoken first immediately interrupted them.

“People have died before, you know that. And Du Zitong and his group got caught, didn’t they!” His eyes fixed on them, he spoke seriously.

“That’s true…” The others, who had been tempted, now felt a chill down their spines.

Indeed, they had heard that someone had died after retrieving something from the sea.

And Du Zitong’s group, who had secretly gone out to sea last time, had ended up in big trouble and were now caught!

It was said that they had been sentenced!

Thinking of this, the group hesitated.

“Forget it, forget it. If you guys are too scared, never mind.”

The man in the red shirt, seeing their hesitant looks, spoke with some irritation. He threw his cards on the table and stood up.

“Where are you going? To take a leak!”

He walked forward, grumbling, and just as he was about to unzip, he saw bursts of white light not far away.

“What is… that…”

His eyes widened at the sight.

Splash!

The next moment, with the sound of water splashing, he vaguely saw a huge figure swimming away!

“A monster!” He screamed in that instant.

As he turned to run, he tripped and fell to the ground.

“What happened!?”

The others, hearing his scream, immediately put down their cards and rushed forward.

“A monster! There’s a monster!” The man, not even having pulled up his pants, trembled as he spoke.

“A monster!?”

“Where’s the monster!?”

The three exchanged a shocked glance and hurried towards the bow of the boat.

One of them picked up a flashlight and shone it into the distance.

However, even under the strong light of the flashlight, they still saw nothing.

“Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?” They turned towards the man in red slowly getting up from the ground and spoke.

“Absolutely not!” The man’s face had also turned pale.

The huge black shadow he had seen just as the white light gradually disappeared was truly astonishing!

Thinking about it now still made his scalp tingle.

“It must be hiding!” The man in red, now emboldened, walked forward.

His eyes followed the flashlight’s beam towards the nearby sea surface.

The sea now looked calm, with nothing in sight.

“Stop looking! Let’s not go out to sea, it’s too dangerous!”

After continuing to look for a while, the man in red was already very frightened.

…

“Hmm!? Was I seen?”

At this moment, Lin Hao’s figure had already appeared by the sea.

As he turned to look back, he could clearly see a few figures standing on a fishing boat not far away, holding flashlights and shining them around the nearby sea, seemingly searching for something.

Even though it was night, with his super night battle ability, he could still clearly see those people.

“But even if they see me, so what.”

Lin Hao no longer cared whether others could see him or not. After all, he could teleport away and didn’t need to worry about being hunted as an ordinary mutant creature.

“My current strength is still not enough. If I could reach a level where I wouldn’t fear bullets or even artillery fire, then I wouldn’t worry even if I appeared on the battlefield.”

While thinking this to himself, Lin Hao continued swimming forward.

This was the first time he had teleported to this seaside. The vast ocean felt truly refreshing to swim in!

“Is the sea closed off because many mutant creatures have been discovered here? Why haven’t I seen any yet? It seems there aren’t even normal marine creatures.”

After swimming in the ocean for a while, Lin Hao still hadn’t seen any signs of mutant creatures.

Not to mention mutant creatures, there weren’t even normal marine creatures.

Something was definitely wrong.

“Keep looking.”

After continuing to swim forward, he vaguely saw a glimmer of golden light.

He focused his eyes slightly, as if zooming in on the scene.

In that instant, he could clearly see a large number of mutant creatures at the bottom of the sea!

Mutant sea loaches!

These mutant sea loaches were all lying on the seabed as if they were resting.

Their bodies emitted a golden light from their backs.

This golden light was now flickering like a breathing light.

They looked like the ‘fireflies’ of the ocean.

“Found them.”

Seeing this scene, Lin Hao sneered inwardly.

He hadn’t expected to find so many mutant sea loaches in the ocean!

Had these mutant sea loaches devoured all the marine life in this area!?

Because up until now, he hadn’t seen any living marine creatures!

As Lin Hao continued swimming forward, he could clearly see that this entire area was filled with mutant sea loaches!

Their heads and bodies were all lying on the ground, seemingly asleep!

“Is it because they’ve eaten all the marine life in this area that they’ve entered a dormant state?”

Lin Hao thought to himself while staring at the mutant sea loaches.
