Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Speculations about Divine Abilities

TL: Etude

“It might be inside this mountain and extending underground.”

Luo Xue nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on the mountain peak. Given the current level of technology, it was very difficult to detect the location of a civilization’s relics in advance. It was mostly based on speculation, followed by manpower for exploration.

“Yes, but we don’t dare to dig up this mountain casually.”

As Li Ye said this, he felt a bit troubled. Hidden within this mountain was a massive mutant creature, which could awaken at any moment. They didn’t dare to dig recklessly, for fear of inadvertently waking the beast. For them, the later this creature woke up, the better.

“However, it’s also possible that we are all wrong, and the relics of this civilization aren’t here.”

Luo Xue continued, turning to look at the opposite side. She felt something was off about Dragon Mountain. The plants on this peak hadn’t mutated, whereas on Dragon Mountain, both the flora and fauna had changed. The vast array of flowers, even from a distance, was astonishing.

Could it be on Dragon Mountain? This thought suddenly popped into Luo Xue’s mind.

“It’s possible. But Dragon Mountain has already been searched, and nothing was found.” Li Ye nodded, noticing Luo Xue’s gaze towards Dragon Mountain, and smiled slightly.

“Yes.”

Luo Xue, initially curious, didn’t think much more after hearing Li Ye’s words. Besides, she didn’t have time to search Dragon Mountain. Given the current situation, the mutant creature was about to awaken.

Luo Xue deactivated her battle armor, took out her phone, and logged onto the Global Alliance website.

“Still no trace of No. 002.”

Looking at the global mutant creature rankings, No. 002’s last known location was still in the ocean. It hadn’t been seen since.

“When it appears again, I must have more power.”

Luo Xue silently vowed. She knew her current strength was insufficient to confront such a powerful mutant creature; it would be tantamount to suicide. So, she needed to become stronger, much stronger! Ideally, she could obtain the legendary strongest suit from the civilization’s relics. It was said this suit had the ability to assist in flight.

She took a deep breath, calming herself, and continued browsing the website. Seeing the various intelligence reports from around the world, she frowned slightly. Recently, the frequency of mutant creature appearances globally had increased significantly. If this continued, the mutant creature issue would no longer be concealable. Once these facts spread, the world would likely undergo a temporary upheaval. For modern humanity, it would be akin to the end of the world.

“The concentration of the virus in the global air has increased slightly compared to last time.”

On the website, real-time monitoring of the virus concentration in the air of various countries showed a slight increase. Although the increase seemed small, it could affect many people.

A new era was coming, unstoppable!

…

Night fell quickly.

Lin Hao, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes. His body had clearly become thicker and longer, and his entire physique was evolving towards that of a flood dragon. His spine had transformed into a serpentine structure, different from the previous reptilian one. Additionally, the single horn on his head had become noticeably sharper.

“My body has grown significantly. My combat power should have increased a lot.”

As Lin Hao woke up, he examined his physical form, clearly noticing substantial changes. With a thought, the complete system panel appeared before his eyes:

Host: Lin Hao

Species: Single-Horned Fire Flood Dragon Newt

Level: 42

Body Length: 23 meters

Weight: 25 tons

Combat Power: 1299

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

Divine Ability: Auspicious Guardian Lv12

Evolution Points: 405,870/900,000

“My combat power has already increased to 1299. Not bad.”

“Other aspects haven’t changed much, but it seems the level of my divine ability has increased.”

Lin Hao carefully scanned the system panel and was surprised by what he saw. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a significant change in the description of the divine ability:

Auspicious Guardian Lv12: Greatly enhances the fortune of nearby objects, accelerates the evolution of nearby plants and animals, and gathers energy from the air.

“It can gather energy from the air? What’s the energy in the air?”

Lin Hao was curious as he read the description of the divine ability.

“However, the air does seem a lot fresher.”

He swam to the surface of the pool, took a deep breath, and thought silently. His level had already increased to 42, but 50 still seemed a bit distant.

“Given my current rate of evolution, level 50 will definitely mean transforming into a flood dragon!”

He was certain because his body had already shed many of the newt characteristics, evolving entirely towards that of a flood dragon. Given the system’s tendencies, level 50 was likely a critical point where he could evolve into a flood dragon.

“Once I evolve into a flood dragon, there should be new divine abilities, right?”

Looking at the solitary divine ability on his system panel, Lin Hao felt a bit frustrated. This divine ability had mostly auxiliary functions and mainly benefited others, rendering it somewhat useless to him. In the past, he had always chosen to ignore this ability. Since there was a divine ability category, there must be a chance to gain more divine abilities in the future! Definitely!

“Never mind, the priority is to figure out how to get more evolution points.”

As night fell, Lin Hao found a spot and looked towards the opposite mountain peak. The mutant creature there still hadn’t fully awakened, only its legs and claws were visible.

“Who knows when it will wake up. But even if it wakes up now, I can’t deal with it.”

Lin Hao sighed. As he continued to gaze in the direction of the opposite mountain, he quickly spotted a familiar figure. Seeing this, Lin Hao was stunned.

“Luo… Luo Xue!?”
