Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Super Perception

TL: Etude

At this moment, Luo Xue spoke seriously.

“Evolution?”

“Yes, it’s possible that its body has evolved to be even larger than before.” She continued speaking.

Mutant creatures also had the potential to evolve, but most of the time, they remained in a stable state.

Especially for those powerful mutant creatures, the likelihood of further evolution was very small.

“Though it’s not impossible, this is a bit too far-fetched.” Luo Zhendong also smiled wryly.

According to Luo Xue’s inference, it made sense, but upon closer thought, it seemed improbable.

After all, the body of this mutant creature couldn’t have reached such a size in such a short period, right?

There was a big difference between a creature of thirteen or fourteen meters and one of twenty meters!

“Yes, I also made a direct inference.” Luo Xue nodded slightly.

Although she found it unbelievable, her intuition suggested otherwise.

“Let’s record the information here for now.”

Luo Zhendong instructed a man to record all the key information Luo Xue had just deduced. Then, after observing the surroundings and confirming that there were no new clues, he prepared to leave.

This spaceship wasn’t actually large. It was just a spherical vessel, only big enough to accommodate one person. It was soon hauled away by a special transport vehicle.

“What could it be?” Luo Xue gazed deeply at the sea surface, still feeling curious inside.

…

The task list had been updated.

“Oh? Has the task refreshed?”

At this moment, Lin Hao, who was observing the situation on the opposite mountain peak from Dragon Mountain, suddenly received a system prompt.

“Let’s see what new tasks have been refreshed this time.”

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

Normal Tasks
– Devour one thousand mutant creatures: 508/1000 (Reward: Corneal Defense Enhancement)
– Devour one hundred rice fish: 0/100 (Reward: Slightly enhanced perception)
– Devour two hundred green crabs: 0/200 (Reward: Slightly enhanced horn sharpness)

Difficult Tasks
– Devour one hundred mutant sea loaches: 0/100
– Devour a level 3 Green Beast Warrior: 0/1 (Reward: Significantly enhanced defense)
– Devour a level 5 Green Beast Warrior: 0/1

Super Difficult Tasks
– Devour a level 5 mutant sea clam: 0/1
– Devour a level 5 mutant sea loach: 0/1

8/8

“There the task to devour mutant sea loaches and a level 5 mutant sea clam. As for the other ordinary tasks, I’ll find an opportunity to complete them.” After scanning the task list, Lin Hao muttered to himself.

“Rice fish should be found in some small rivers, but I’ll need to transport myself there to find them.”

“There seem to be quite a few green crabs in the mangrove forest.”

“Where can I find mutant sea loaches? In the depths of the ocean?”

As he looked at the task list, Lin Hao began to talk to himself.

All these rewards were useful, and it was best to complete these tasks if possible.

“And the number 8/8 below represents the task list, meaning there can be a maximum of eight tasks?”

“If I don’t complete these tasks, new tasks won’t refresh at midnight tomorrow.”

At this moment, Lin Hao also noticed the icon in the lower left corner of the task list.

“Never mind that, let’s open the treasure chest first!”

With a thought, Lin Hao immediately claimed the reward for devouring a level 4 Green Beast Warrior.

Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Purple Treasure Chest. Would you like to open it now?

After choosing to claim the treasure chest, the system prompt appeared again.

Yes!

There was no hesitation in opening the treasure chest.

“Will I get another pink entry this time?”

Remembering his previous luck with the purple treasure chest, which had granted him a rare pink entry, he was hopeful again.

Although the chances were slim, it didn’t mean there was no chance!

Maybe he’d even get a gold one!

At this moment, a purple light appeared before his eyes. The treasure chest icon emerged with the purple glow and then slowly opened automatically.

Creak——

There was even a sound effect.

In the next moment, he saw a large number of entries inside the opened treasure chest.

Just like before, there were numerous dazzling entries, mostly purple, with the occasional flash of pink, and gold was even rarer.

“I wonder what I’ll get this time.”

Lin Hao stared at the entries, full of curiosity.

He already had Black Iron Thorns, Corrosive Claws, and Corrosive Teeth; ordinary purple entries weren’t of much use.

Quickly, the spinning entries began to slow down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the next moment, it stopped directly on one of the entries.

Super Perception: Possesses extremely strong perceptive abilities, able to sense things invisible to the naked eye.

“Huh? It enhances my perception abilities?”

Reading the ability description, Lin Hao was a bit surprised.

This was a passive ability, meaning that once acquired, his perception abilities would be greatly enhanced!

“Not bad at all.”

Though it was a bit disappointing not to draw another pink entry, the probability of getting one from a purple chest was indeed very low.

In the next moment, the entry turned into purple energy and directly entered Lin Hao’s body.

He clearly felt a very cool sensation in his head.

This cool sensation lasted for a short while before gradually fading.

At this moment, Lin Hao looked around. Under his intent, he could clearly sense the presence of various small animals in the areas his eyes could see.

He could even perceive distant sounds of wind and insect chirping.

“This perception ability is really strong. Now I can even sense someone coming up from the foot of the mountain, right?” Lin Hao’s eyes brightened slightly.

This powerful perception ability could be likened to having eyes all over his body; even without looking back, he could feel if there was an enemy behind him.

“There’s still plenty of time for teleportation. Let’s complete those small tasks first so that new ones can refresh.”

After a brief thought, Lin Hao teleported directly to… the Longyin Reservoir!

He remembered that there were other river branches near the reservoir where dace fish might be found.

Anyway, finding them was the first step!

As white light emanated from his body, he disappeared from Dragon Mountain.

“Isn’t it too dangerous to be out so late?”

Meanwhile, near the Longyin Reservoir, a group of people were walking forward with flashlights in hand.
