Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Be Careful, It Bites!

TL: Etude

At this moment, Lin Hao’s figure still lingered at the bottom of the sea.

“Devoured a level 4 mutant yellow croaker, gained 200,000 evolution points.”

“To think I encountered a level 4 mutant yellow croaker here.”

Lin Hao continued swimming forward.

He had just seen a person being knocked unconscious by the mutant yellow croaker, which seemed ready to attack the fishing boat. He casually devoured the mutant yellow croaker and then rescued the person.

For him, this was just a minor incident.

Given his level of strength, he no longer feared being discovered.

No more hiding in fear!

However, caution was still necessary; he couldn’t afford to be careless.

“It seemed that mutant yellow croaker was also eating something here.”

As Lin Hao swam to some underwater rocks nearby, he saw some faintly golden, round particles attached to the rocks.

These weren’t gold but eggs!

“What kind of eggs are these?”

Seeing this, Lin Hao was curious.

The mutant yellow croaker seemed to have been eating these eggs before it spotted the fishing boat and charged at it, knocking the person overboard.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and devoured some of the eggs.

“Devoured mutant starfish eggs, gained 10 evolution points.”

“Devoured mutant starfish eggs, gained 10 evolution points.”

“Devoured…”

…

Soon, the system prompts appeared again.

“Mutant starfish eggs!?”

“No wonder I didn’t see any small mutant starfish. That creature must have laid its eggs here.”

Listening to the system prompts, Lin Hao muttered to himself.

“But the evolution points gained are quite few. I remember devouring mutant loach eggs last time, and those gave about fifty evolution points each.”

“Is it because there are more starfish eggs?”

From his memory, starfish had an incredible reproductive ability, and most starfish could lay eggs, fertilize externally, and then new life would develop.

“These mutant starfish eggs seem to be unfertilized, just plain eggs.”

“And starfish eggs can number in the millions, right? Each egg gives ten evolution points. Millions of eggs would mean tens of millions of evolution points…!”

Thinking of this, Lin Hao’s eyes widened, filled with excitement.

If this were true, what did it mean?

It meant he could amass a vast number of evolution points!

Without further thought, Lin Hao began devouring the mutant starfish eggs attached to the surrounding rocks.

In no time, the system continuously notified him of the gained evolution points.

However, after devouring only a few, Lin Hao noticed the mutant starfish eggs were all gone.

It seemed they had all been devoured!

“Devoured so quickly.”

“Those previous eggs were probably eaten by that mutant yellow croaker.”

After searching the area thoroughly, Lin Hao felt a bit regretful.

Although the evolution points from these mutant starfish eggs were few, the sheer quantity could have easily accumulated to a million or two!

“Forget it, I’ll look elsewhere.”

Lin Hao continued his search around the island.

He didn’t bother with clams, oysters, abalones, and other shellfish.

These creatures were too scattered, and devouring them yielded few evolution points. Besides, many of the concentrated shellfish in this area were farmed. It was said that starfish infestations had caused significant economic losses, so there was no need to add insult to injury.

…

The sun set in the west, and night began to fall.

“What I saw should have been a dragon. No, it was definitely a dragon!”

Zhang Lin’er sat on a rock by the sea, resting her chin on her hand. She gazed into the distance, her eyes filled with curiosity.

What happened today was extraordinarily strange for her.

It seemed they had been saved by a large, slender creature.

That creature gave her the impression of a dragon!

It looked just like one!

“Recently, there have been a lot of stories about dragons.”

She remembered seeing news about a dragon in the Longyin Reservoir and mangroves while browsing short videos last night.

She hadn’t paid much attention at the time, thinking such things were mere nonsense.

But now…

She took out her phone and started searching for dragon legends.

Soon, she found live footage of the dragon sighting in the Longyin Reservoir and reports of a giant claw print left by a dragon in the mangroves.

Watching these videos, Zhang Lin’er grew increasingly astonished.

Continuing to watch, she soon discovered a live stream where Brother Long and Big B were searching for the dragon in the mangroves.

“They’re live streaming today?”

Checking the live stream schedule, Zhang Lin’er joined their live stream.

They were indeed live!

“Huh? Ah Bin and Ah Ming?”

To her surprise, two of her classmates were in the live stream!

Having just finished their college entrance exams, they were still wearing their high school uniforms, making them easy to recognize.

She focused on the live stream.

“These crabs seem to have mutant and will bite with their teeth. Even if you catch them, be careful.” Ah Bin and Ah Ming warned Brother Long and Big B during their live stream.

After discovering that a small crab could bite, they returned to the mangroves to look for green crabs.

However, they had been searching since dusk without success.

With the tide going out around six, they hoped it would be easier to find green crabs and possibly the biting ones.

As they continued exploring the vast mangroves, they encountered Brother Long and his group, who were also live-streaming their dragon search.

“Crabs that bite with their teeth? Don’t be ridiculous!” Big B shook his head and laughed at their words.

He knew crabs could pinch with their claws—he’d been pinched before—but he had never heard of crabs biting with teeth!

Moreover, these high schoolers claimed crabs had teeth!

“Kids, we’re here to find a dragon, not catch crabs.” Brother Long laughed as he spoke.

After the previous night’s events, he wanted to confirm whether what he saw was truly a dragon.

This time, they were prepared and had brought cameras.

If they found anything, they would capture it immediately!

“They might attack on their own. Just be careful.” Ah Bin thought for a moment before speaking.

“Ah!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream rang out from not far away.
