Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Ultrasonic Repulsion

TL: Etude

“Something glowing?”

Luo Xue raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Yes, according to eyewitnesses, it seems like something resembling a snake.”

The middle-aged man nodded and continued speaking.

He was starting to get a headache.

Recently, the number of strange incidents occurring in Longyin City had been increasing, and they were becoming difficult to manage.

“A snake?”

“Another mutated creature?”

Luo Xue’s brows furrowed tightly.

“These things have been appearing more and more frequently, not just in Longyin City, but globally.”

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but voice his concerns.

This was a global crisis, and there was no way to avoid it!

…

“Dragon King, you can’t be screwing me over like this. I just went all in, and now the stock has dropped!”

Early in the morning, Lin Hao woke up to the sound of someone shouting.

“What the hell, so early in the morning.”

After waking up fully, Lin Hao noticed that his field of vision had expanded and become clearer!

Last night, after finishing off the scavengers, he had chosen an area to evolve.

“I’ve evolved again. Now that I’m in the Hualong Pond, there shouldn’t be any opponents for me, right?”

As Lin Hao thought to himself, the system panel appeared before him with a thought.

Host: Lin Hao
Species: Black Carp
Level: 7
Body Length: 1.3 meters
Weight: 65 jin
Combat Power: 77
Skills: Camouflage, Powerful Bite, Powerful Tail Slap, Iron Scales
Divine Abilities: Auspicious Guardian Lv3
Evolution Points: 680/2000

“Oh wow, 1.3 meters!”

Looking at his current length, Lin Hao was quite satisfied.

Usually, the longest koi could grow was under 1.5 meters, right?

“Hmm?”

“This time, I gained another skill.”

Camouflage: When stationary in an area, the body will blend with the surrounding colors.

“This is just like a chameleon.”

“But having this ability is pretty good.”

As he swam in the Hualong Pond, many koi swam over and surrounded him, creating a very peculiar scene.

“Right, it seems the divine ability has also upgraded.”

Auspicious Guardian Lv3: Slightly enhances the fortune of nearby objects, slightly accelerates the evolution of nearby flora and fauna.

“Huh!?”

“Enhances the evolution speed of nearby flora and fauna!?”

Seeing the changes in this divine ability, Lin Hao was astonished.

It could enhance evolution speed!

“It doesn’t seem to affect me, but it should work on the nearby flora and fauna!”

“If people stay near me for a long time, will they also evolve?”

Lin Hao couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“It’s rebounding! It’s starting to rebound!”

“Thank you, Dragon King! Next time, I’ll get you some more scavengers!”

Boss Peng looked at his phone and saw that the stock had bounced back a bit, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, he had just heavily invested, only for the stock to plummet right after. It nearly gave him a heart attack!

Now, he believed even more in the effectiveness of the Dragon King Temple. After all, both times the stock rose, he had been here.

“It couldn’t be just a coincidence, right? My divine ability can’t possibly have such a large effect.”

Hearing Boss Peng’s excited voice, Lin Hao was also curious.

At this moment, he wandered around the Hualong Pond for a while. After devouring some small black-shelled shrimps, he couldn’t find anything else to eat.

“As my body gets bigger, I’m really worried about being exposed.”

Lin Hao was also a bit concerned.

As he continued to evolve, his size would only increase, making him stand out more among the other koi.

With the sunrise, the sound of footsteps approached.

“I’ve already had this area sealed off.”

“We need to handle this quickly. Lately, there have been many visitors to the Dragon King Temple.”

…

Voices drifted over.

Lin Hao hid under a nearby lotus leaf, his gaze fixed on the shore where he could clearly see many men and women in black uniforms approaching.

Who were these people?

Seeing this scene, he became nervous.

“Luo Xue!?”

Looking closely, one of them seemed very familiar!

It was Luo Xue!

Today, she was also wearing a special black uniform, resembling some kind of combat suit, with a silver box strapped to her back.

“Set up the ultrasonic repellents.”

Her eyes scanned the crowd, and she immediately gave the order.

“Yes!”

Soon, some people started taking out special ultrasonic devices from the box, activating them, and then throwing them into the water.

Wait, had he been discovered?

Seeing this, Lin Hao was startled.

No, it was impossible for anyone to have discovered his ability to evolve.

“It’s probably that mutated snake they’re after.”

Lin Hao quickly calmed down, hiding beside a black rock, his dark body blending in with the stone.

Buzz buzz buzz—

As the special ultrasonic devices were thrown into the water, Lin Hao could clearly hear strange noises.

It was a bit noisy, but not significantly disturbing.

Luo Xue and her team stood on the shore, closely monitoring the movements within the Hualong Pond.

“No movement?”

A man furrowed his brows.

The ultrasonic repellents they had just deployed should have covered the entire pond.

“This is the latest model of ultrasonic repellent. Anything with a virus in its body will be affected,” Luo Xue said calmly.

Anything with those cells would find it very uncomfortable.

She felt a bit uneasy herself, but the ultrasonic repellents were mostly affecting the creatures in the pond.

After a while, there was still no movement in the Hualong Pond.

Only the koi continued to swim around.

“There’s nothing.”

“There shouldn’t be any mutated creatures in the Hualong Pond, or maybe the mutated creature escaped.”

Soon, the team retrieved the ultrasonic repellents from the pond.

Luo Xue glanced around the pond. The seemingly spirited little black koi she had seen earlier was nowhere to be found.

“Let’s go.”

She didn’t think much of it. To her, it was just an ordinary little koi.

As the group left, Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

So many people really put a lot of pressure on him.

Given his current state, he couldn’t speak, and Luo Xue didn’t know it was him. If he was discovered, he would undoubtedly be taken away for dissection!

“But what was that virus they mentioned?”

“Could it be that mutated creatures contain this special virus?”
