Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 167

Chapter 167: The Mutant Creature Inside the Mountain

TL: Etude

“After this upgrade, the changes seem quite significant.”

Lin Hao could clearly feel that his body was becoming more like that of a flood dragon, with the traits of a newt gradually diminishing.

“It seems my horn has become thicker, longer, and sharper!”

The most noticeable change this time was his horn, a very distinct sensation.

“What are these people talking about?”

“A mutant creature’s foot appeared on the peak opposite Dragon Mountain?”

After listening carefully, Lin Hao’s eyes filled with surprise.

He had visited the mountain opposite before and had never heard of any mutant creatures there.

“Wait, are they saying… a foot kicked out from that mountain peak?”

“Is this mutant creature hiding inside the mountain?”

As he continued to listen to the discussion, Lin Hao became even more surprised.

Moreover, the fact that these people could see the situation from the mountaintop proved that the foot of this mutant creature must be quite large.

It had to be a huge mutant creature!

“This looks interesting.”

Lin Hao sneered. At a time when he lacked evolution points, if that mutant creature awakened, he could kill and devour it!

“Right, let’s check my own improvements first.”

With a thought, a system panel appeared before his eyes.

Host: Lin Hao

Body Length: 22 meters

Weight: 21 tons

Combat Power: 1181

“The changes felt quite noticeable just now. I didn’t expect my combat power to only increase to 1181. The change is too small.”

Lin Hao was somewhat frustrated.

He had thought this evolution would bring significant changes, but it turned out only his body size increased slightly and his combat power improved by just a few dozen points, which wasn’t much.

“The improvement isn’t great, and the evolution points needed are enormous.”

Looking at the evolution points required for the next upgrade, Lin Hao was incredibly annoyed.

Eight hundred thousand evolution points!

Without many mutant creatures to devour, accumulating evolution points would be quite difficult.

“I’ll check the sea again tonight; maybe there will be some new discoveries.”

While Lin Hao was planning this internally, the Longyin government, in conjunction with the police, had already arrived at Dragon Mountain.

Many people had been persuaded to leave Dragon Mountain, and those who were stubborn eventually left as well.

As the sun set and night fell.

“Finally, it’s night.” Lin Hao murmured to himself as his enormous body crawled out of the Hualong Pond.

Splash!

A large amount of water splashed around instantly.

Now, his perception was very strong, and he could clearly sense that there were no other people around.

The ability of Super Night Battle was now gradually manifesting.

“There really is such a thing.”

Standing there, gazing at the opposite mountain, Lin Hao could clearly see a giant leg kicking out from the mountainside.

“Are people from HXLZ here too?”

From the mountainside, white lights were shining, and many people seemed to be inspecting something.

“Judging by the size of that leg, this mutant creature must be at least twenty to thirty meters long. It seems quite strong.”

Lin Hao started estimating the size of the mutant creature in his mind. After further calculations, he predicted that the creature was around thirty meters long.

Such a size already made it very large and troublesome to deal with.

“I wonder what kind of creature it is.”

While speaking, Lin Hao returned to the Hualong Pond.

“No matter what it is, I’ll ignore it for now.”

“First, I need to evolve and become stronger.”

There weren’t many places left to explore. The rivers within Longyin City likely had no more creatures he could devour.

For Lin Hao, devouring ordinary creatures now yielded too few evolution points.

The most important thing now was to devour mutant creatures!

Only by devouring mutant creatures could he gain more evolution points.

With a thought, his entire body was covered in a white light and then disappeared from the spot.

…

“An hour ago, that mutant creature’s foot suddenly moved, and the entire leg kicked out from inside.”

Meanwhile, in the mountainside area, a middle-aged man spoke sternly to Luo Xue and others.

Since the mutant creature’s foot was discovered, many people had been taking turns guarding the area.

Luo Xue and the others had just returned from eating when they noticed something was wrong.

Initially, only the giant foot of the mutant creature was exposed, but now an entire leg was visible!

“Judging by the skin and the size of the leg, I lean towards it being a mutant dinosaur. But it’s hard to determine exactly what kind of dinosaur.” Luo Xue continued to observe the leg of the mutant creature and spoke slowly.

The creature’s foot had kicked out from inside the mountain. Special instruments showed that the foot had flowing blood, clearly indicating it wasn’t dead and seemed to be in a state of dormancy, on the verge of awakening.

“Do not provoke it for now; it shouldn’t wake up too soon.” After some thought, Luo Xue instructed the others seriously.

“Understood.” Everyone nodded.

It was best if this mutant creature didn’t wake up anytime soon.

“Continue to surround this part of the mountain and ensure no one approaches.” Li Ye also spoke up.

If any members of the el organization managed to get in and wake the mutant creature, it would spell big trouble.

“Yes!” Everyone around responded in unison.

Boom!

Just as everyone finished speaking, the mountain let out a loud rumble.

Numerous rocks tumbled down from the upper region!

“Watch out!” Everyone reacted immediately, dodging the falling rocks.

Large boulders landed where they had just been, but they all successfully avoided them.

What was going on!?

Why did such a strong tremor suddenly occur!?
