Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Nightfall

TL: Etude

“This Dragon King Temple feels like it truly has a Dragon King.”

“Look around, all the flowers and trees have changed, and this koi has grown so big! Maybe one day it will actually leap over the Dragon Gate!”

“……”

In the afternoon, quite a few people lingered near the Dragon King Temple.

Many noticed that the environment here had vastly improved!

The tall trees and the myriad of flowers made the surroundings look magnificent!

After people posted photos online, it attracted even more visitors, with many choosing to camp nearby.

Moreover, many noticed that their luck seemed to improve upon arriving at Dragon Mountain.

This struck many as incredible, yet they believed it.

“The world seems to be changing!”

“The authorities haven’t released any information about the Tyrannosaurus Rex incident yet, but it seems like there are strange occurrences abroad too. A city was reportedly attacked by a giant beast!”

“A giant beast attack? You must be watching too many movies!”

“Haha, are you talking about Godzilla?”

“I’m not joking! Haven’t you noticed the various strange events happening in our country recently?”

“……”

Many people sat on the nearby grass, enjoying the fresh air while discussing.

It’s not just in Longyin City; people all over the country were talking about strange events.

And abroad, there were increasingly numerous reports of giant creatures.

Initially, such discussions were quickly censored, but the sheer number of incidents made it impossible to suppress.

Now, talks about giant creatures were widespread, creating a buzz everywhere.

“Why has the water level in Hualong Pond suddenly risen so much?”

“Could there be something strange in there too?”

A man sitting on the ground, eating bread, looked at Hualong Pond and spoke.

He had visited this place several times before and had never seen the water level so high. Now, it had reached the stone bridge!

Just looking at it seemed unbelievable.

“Are you saying there’s a water monster in Hualong Pond?”

“That’s impossible! Didn’t you see the koi swimming around? If there were a monster, the koi wouldn’t be so fat and healthy; they’d have been eaten long ago.”

A man next to him, playing with his phone, replied.

“That makes sense.”

“But these koi have grown so much larger than before!”

The man nodded slightly but continued to gaze at the koi in Hualong Pond with amazement.

There were many koi, and each one looked very large!

Each koi was over a meter long!

Just looking at them seemed unbelievable.

“With so many people feeding them, it’s normal for them to grow big.”

“Stop worrying about that. Look at the latest news; it seems like a certain country, having a good time, is now facing a monster problem!”

“You can’t just dump sewage anywhere; even creatures mutate.”

The man swiped his phone screen while speaking.

Time passed quickly, and as the sun set, people around the Dragon King Temple began to leave.

Many animals had recently appeared in the area, especially snakes, which discouraged those planning to camp overnight.

“Whoosh.”

Meanwhile, at the bottom of Hualong Pond, Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes.

“Finally, the evolution is complete.”

He quickly became fully awake.

Upon closer inspection, his body now resembled a flood dragon!

The features of the newt were becoming increasingly scarce.

His elongated body, under the effect of Super Camouflage, blended seamlessly with the silt at the bottom of Hualong Pond.

Even if someone were to stare closely, they wouldn’t be able to discern such a large creature hidden there!

“Have all those people left?”

“More and more people have been coming lately.”

Lin Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

With so many visitors, there was a higher chance of his presence being discovered.

“Luckily, the water level has risen significantly, and I found an ancient civilization’s ruins below.”

“Even if someone finds me, it doesn’t matter.”

As he muttered to himself, he activated his system panel with a thought.

Level 38

Body length: 18.9 meters

Weight: 28,014 jin

Combat Power: 920

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

Divine Ability: Auspicious Guardian Lv11

Evolution Points: 38,141/600,000

“Level 38.”

“And my combat power has only increased to 920!”

Looking at his system panel, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly.

A combat power of 920 was still quite high for him.

Combined with Super Night Battle, his combat power would increase even more!

“And there’s also Super Berserk!”

“This time, I have more than enough confidence to deal with that giant mutant crab!”

Thinking this, Lin Hao felt a bit excited.

He was filled with fighting spirit, ready for battle!

“It’s not yet midnight. I’ll wait a bit longer. I’ll see if a new task refreshes at midnight.”

The remaining teleportation time for today was about three hours.

Three hours should be enough to deal with that mutant red crab!

“I’ll go out and take a look first.”

With his powerful senses, Lin Hao detected no one nearby.

After a brief consideration, he leaped from the pond to the shore.

“If I turn into a flood dragon, will I completely lose my newt traits?”

“Would it be difficult to go ashore then?”

Having just climbed ashore, Lin Hao’s mind wandered.

“If I could fly, that would be nice. Soaring through clouds, summoning wind and rain! But those abilities probably fall under divine abilities, right?”

“Wait, doesn’t my system panel have divine ability skills? It’s been so long, and I haven’t acquired a new divine ability skill, but there must be more. It can’t be just this one.”

Lin Hao mused aloud while wandering around.

Although he saw many animals nearby, like wild boars and snakes, he was too lazy to devour them now.

The evolution points these creatures provided were too few, not even enough to fill his teeth!
