Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 189

Chapter 189: The Big Eyeball

TL: Etude

It was a humanoid eye, its black round pupil constantly shifting.

Soon, its body began to slowly rise from the seabed.

That massive eyeball also looked straight ahead.

It happened to catch sight of Lin Hao frantically devouring those starfish!

“Overrun, huh? Better be even more overrun so I can eat to my heart’s content!”

At this moment, Lin Hao continued his frenzied devouring, not sparing a single one!

“Hmm!?”

But quickly, with his keen sense, he distinctly felt something, swiftly turning to look behind him.

The first thing that came into view was a big eyeball!

What the hell!?

Lin Hao was startled.

Before he could react, the creature with the huge eyeball had already attacked!

A giant star-shaped body lunged straight at him!

A starfish!

A gigantic starfish!

Ordinarily, the center of a starfish would be where its stomach is, but now it had become a giant eyeball.

“Looking for death!”

Although he was startled, Lin Hao quickly recovered, opening his mouth to spray a jet of crimson flames!

Boom!

The intense crimson flames instantly engulfed the body of the giant starfish.

But the giant starfish wasn’t afraid of the fire at all, directly pouncing onto Lin Hao’s body!

Its five arms were its five limbs, and the tips of these limbs were round suckers, densely packed with extremely sharp teeth.

At this moment, they stuck to Lin Hao’s body, starting to bite at his Dark Iron Thorn Scales.

“Get off!!!”

Now furious, Lin Hao willed it, and intense golden flames erupted from his body!

Roasting the starfish!

However, under the golden flames, the starfish’s limbs still clung tightly to Lin Hao’s body. The suckers on its limbs were like mouths with extremely sharp teeth, continuously gnawing at Lin Hao’s body.

If it kept biting like this, it might actually break through his scales!

Lin Hao’s claws were now furiously attacking its body.

This creature’s body was covered with countless spikes, and its skin was incredibly tough, even the Corrosive Claws couldn’t easily penetrate it.

But Lin Hao wasn’t foolish, he didn’t keep attacking its tough body. Instead, he directed his claws at the center of the mutant starfish, aiming for that giant eyeball!

Bang!

Just as his claws struck at the starfish’s big eyeball, it shut its eye.

Its eyelid was equally tough, making it impossible to tear apart immediately.

But Lin Hao didn’t care, he kept attacking madly!

Attacking one spot frantically!

The corrosive nature of his claws quickly took effect, causing a wound to appear on its eyelid!

“Dare to cling to me, get the hell off!”

Now in a rage, Lin Hao found this damned creature’s five limbs clinging tightly to his body, refusing to let go!

At that moment, as his claws continued to attack the wound on the eyelid, he directly tore through it and struck the large eyeball!

Gurgling sounds emanated from its body instantly.

Its five limbs immediately released their grip, and its massive body retreated backward.

Two of its limbs covered the central eye, as if they were hands.

“A mutant starfish, huh.”

Seeing this, Lin Hao’s expression turned serious.

After devouring so many starfish, he hadn’t received any notification about mutant starfish, so he thought there were no mutant creatures here.

Who would have thought such a boss was hiding all along!

Detection!

Without hesitation, Lin Hao used his ability.

Level 5 · Mutant Starfish

Combat Power: 1224

“Combat power of twelve hundred and twenty-four.”

“As expected, a level 5 creature.”

Seeing the system’s notification, Lin Hao’s gaze locked onto the mutant starfish.

Upon closer inspection, its body was turning red at a visible rate.

It was as if it suddenly became superheated!

Bubbles caused by the high temperature were visible around its body.

Blood was now flowing from its large eyeball, turning it completely blood-red with a significant wound.

At that moment, countless eyes suddenly appeared on the starfish’s skin.

“Damn, this thing…”

Lin Hao felt a chill run down his spine at the sight.

Starfish have spiny skin with many tiny crystalline structures.

These crystals are the starfish’s eyes.

Now, these crystalline structures on the mutant starfish split open, turning into actual eyeballs!

It was a perfect example of the uncanny valley, just looking at it made Lin Hao feel eerie and creepy.

Starfish also have a strong regenerative ability; it’s said that tearing a starfish into pieces and throwing them into the ocean would result in each piece growing into a new starfish.

“If I tear it into pieces, would it regenerate into several new ones, then I could tear them apart again and repeat the process for endless evolution points!?”

Lin Hao’s imagination ran wild.

But even though he had such thoughts, it was impossible to execute them in practice.

Moreover, even if they could regenerate, it wasn’t certain if they would reach level 5 again.

Better to devour it first!

Though the mutant starfish looked disgusting, the thought of gaining many evolution points by devouring it excited Lin Hao.

In an instant, he charged forward at incredible speed!

At that same moment, countless spikes suddenly sprouted from the mutant starfish’s body!

Its entire body temperature soared, turning it bright red!

No wonder the flames didn’t affect it earlier; it had evolved to possess fire attributes, giving it strong fire resistance!

Instead of evading, the mutant starfish lunged directly at Lin Hao!

Super Charge!

Lin Hao had anticipated this move. He used his skill, aiming his sharp, long horn at the mutant starfish’s central eyeball as it lunged!

The speed was too fast; the mutant starfish had no defense. Lin Hao’s sharp horn pierced through the large eye!

Bang!

With a dull sound, the large eyeball exploded!

The mutant starfish’s five limbs trembled, then, like five arms, they grabbed Lin Hao’s head!

At that moment, the five limbs suddenly split into two halves!
