Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 186

Chapter 186: A New Mission

TL: Etude

Seeing the figure not far away, Lin Hao’s eyes widened.

It was obviously Luo Xue!

“Too many people,” he muttered.

He had an impulse to approach Luo Xue and talk to her, but he quickly calmed down.

“Forget it, I’ll wait for her to come over.”

If he went over now and tried to talk, he would definitely be treated as a monster among monsters.

Luo Xue had come here several times before, so she would probably come again.

Then, they could talk.

“It’s been too long since I’ve spoken to anyone, I’m going crazy!” Lin Hao couldn’t help but complain.

Even though he had transformed into this creature, his soul was still human. The lack of anyone to communicate with left him feeling lonely, so he often talked to himself.

“Is she now in charge of observing the mutant creatures over there?”

“What is that box on her back, a battle suit?”

His eyes, now extremely sharp, could clearly see Luo Xue standing on the distant mountain peak.

The white box on her back looked very unusual.

“I wonder when this mutant creature will wake up.”

He tried using his detection skill but found it was still ineffective. It seemed that until the mutant creature woke up, he couldn’t gather any information about it using just the detection skill.

“All other skills can be upgraded. This detection skill should be upgradeable too, right?” Lin Hao thought to himself.

“Hmm!?”

At this moment, Luo Xue, with her keen sixth sense, clearly felt something and instinctively looked towards Dragon Mountain.

From such a distance, she couldn’t see anything clearly.

“Is there someone on Dragon Mountain…” Luo Xue frowned slightly, murmuring to herself.

Her sixth sense was very strong, giving her a distinct feeling of being watched, but this sensation did not make her feel uneasy.

“The mutation on Dragon Mountain is indeed peculiar. I’ll arrange for someone to check it out later,” Li Ye, standing nearby, noticed Luo Xue’s gaze fixed on Dragon Mountain and spoke up, thinking she wanted to investigate.

“Yes, I’ll go there myself when I have time,” Luo Xue nodded slightly.

Time quickly passed, and as night fell, Lin Hao had already returned to the Hualong Pond.

A new task has been issued.

With the system prompt, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly.

Normal Task: Devour 1,000 mutant creatures (758/1000) (Reward: Corneal Defense Enhancement)
Normal Task: Devour 100 ribbonfish (0/100) (Reward: Blue Treasure Chest)
Normal Task: Devour 1,000 starfish (0/1000) (Reward: Corneal Defense Enhancement)
Difficult Task: Devour 100 mutant sea loaches (0/200)
Difficult Task: Devour a level 3 Green Beast Warrior (Reward: Significantly Enhanced Defense)
Difficult Task: Devour a level 5 Green Beast Warrior
Super Difficult Task: Devour a level 5 mutant sea clam (Reward: Significantly Enhanced Corneal Defense)
Super Difficult Task: Devour a level 5 mutant sea loach (Reward: Pink Treasure Chest)

8/8

“Sure enough, after completing those two tasks, new ones have appeared.”

“When will I ever be able to finish all these tasks?” Lin Hao looked at the eight tasks in front of him and felt a headache coming on.

Starfish and ribbonfish should be findable. He had heard that starfish were rampant in a certain sea area, so they should be locatable. However, with the increasing number of mutant creatures in the ocean and their strong reproductive abilities, many marine creatures had been devoured by them.

“I haven’t seen any mutant sea loaches lately.”

“Level 3 and level 5 Green Beast Warriors, who knows when I’ll come across them again.”

“And then there’s the level 5 mutant sea clam and mutant sea loach.”

As Lin Hao muttered to himself, he felt a bit overwhelmed. These tasks wouldn’t be easy to complete, but the rewards were quite tempting.

Especially the level 5 mutant sea loach. Just by defeating it, he could obtain a pink treasure chest! A pink treasure chest guaranteed pink items, with a high probability of getting golden items as well.

“No matter, I’ll go check the ocean again tomorrow.”

With a thought, Lin Hao brought up the system’s map interface. It was evident that the map’s range had expanded again, particularly the ocean area, which had grown significantly. The coverage now extended not only towards the ocean but also to an adjacent city!

“If I have time, I could visit the nearby city to see if there are any mutant creatures there,” Lin Hao mused.

It would be pointless to go to rivers to devour ordinary creatures. He needed a lot of evolution points now, with the next upgrade requiring 900,000 points! Ordinary creatures would be useless unless there were an extreme number of them.

“This place should be Dragon Island. I heard there are many fish farms around here.”

Examining the map closely, Lin Hao decided on his next teleportation location. He had read news about Dragon Island before. Dragon Island farmed clams and oysters, and the baby clams became food for starfish, causing a starfish outbreak!

He had seen this news a few days before he died, and it was likely that the starfish outbreak still existed.

“I’ll check it out tomorrow when the teleportation time refreshes.”

By completing all these tasks, he could greatly enhance his strength.

“Let’s go down and take a look.”

Bored late at night, Lin Hao hesitated briefly before swimming towards the lower area again. He passed through a long corridor and once again stood before a large metal door with “L1” marked on it.

Bang, bang, bang!

Lin Hao extended his claw and knocked on the metal door. The last time he pushed the door, he had felt a strong mutant creature behind it and, feeling unprepared, had stopped.

This time…

Boom, boom, boom!

As soon as Lin Hao knocked on the metal door a few times, he sensed something violently crashing behind it! The enormous impact produced a terrifying noise. Even through the metal door, he could feel the creature’s immense strength!

“Does this creature have a combat power of over 1500!?”

Feeling the terrifying impact, Lin Hao’s expression grew serious. He had intentionally provoked the creature behind the metal door to gauge its strength.
