Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 237

Chapter 237: The Heartbeat from Underground!

TL: Etude

The battle seemed far from over.

Now was not the time to relax.

“There are! There are a few ETs, those warrior aliens, who have rushed down! One of them is incredibly strong!”

Listening to Lin Hao’s words, Luo Xue quickly realized the gravity of the situation.

Thinking of this, she gripped her battle knife tightly, clenching her teeth.

Those ETs had just killed several members of the HXLZ who were guarding the entrance to this ancient civilization’s ruins!

Comrades she saw earlier today had now been decapitated, their bodies trampled into mush by the surging mutant creatures!

Just thinking about it filled her eyes with intense rage.

“I’ll go in and take a look.” Lin Hao glanced towards the area of the ruins, then charged forward.

“Luo Xue, stay here and heal your wounds! Leave everything else to me.”

It was clear that before he arrived, Luo Xue had already suffered significant injuries.

Now, it was his turn to fight.

“ETs.”

Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed, filled with a fierce gleam.

His current injuries were undoubtedly caused by these ETs and the members of the EL organization.

Who knew what kind of explosives they used to approach him so quickly, and with such devastating power?

The explosion had blown off a large chunk of the Dark Iron Thorn Scales on his back!

Although the wound had healed considerably due to his regenerative abilities, it would take time for the scales to regrow.

“Be careful! There might be even stronger mutant creatures inside!”

Luo Xue, who had initially followed, took a deep breath to calm herself and then stopped.

She knew her current condition wasn’t suitable for further combat.

Forcing herself to continue might only be a burden.

“Understood. You all clean up the battlefield here. Leave everything inside to me.”

As Lin Hao spoke, his body had already reached the entrance of the ruins!

The entrance was enormous, leading diagonally downward into the ground.

The passage inside appeared pitch black.

Boom!

In an instant, as Lin Hao willed it, flames surged from his body.

The golden flames illuminated everything around him, making it as bright as day!

The next moment, his massive body began to rush downward!

Thump, thump!

Standing at the entrance to the ancient ruins, Luo Xue watched, feeling her heart racing with excitement.

“It’s really, truly good.”

Lin Hao was not dead!

Recalling the scenes just moments ago, she instinctively wanted to pinch her own face to see if she was dreaming.

But wearing armor and a helmet, she couldn’t touch her cheeks.

“No matter what he turns into, as long as he’s alive, it’s good.”

A small smile appeared on her lips.

“Team Leader Luo seems to be smiling…”

A nearby soldier, seeing Luo Xue’s smile, was momentarily stunned.

For so long, everyone had known Luo Xue as someone with an icy demeanor.

They had never seen her smile!

Booming sounds echoed.

Meanwhile, several helicopters were flying over from a distance.

Very quickly, the helicopters appeared in the sky above.

Figures in battle armor began jumping out of the helicopters!

The height wasn’t too great, so jumping from this position had little impact on those wearing battle suits.

Especially for Luo Zhendong.

“Where are the mutant creatures!?”

As soon as Luo Zhendong landed and was about to draw his battle knife, he realized there were no signs of mutant creatures around!

Many soldiers stood around, but they weren’t shooting anymore.

The loud tremors they had heard from a distance had completely stopped.

“Luo Xue!?”

Luo Zhendong glanced around and saw Luo Xue standing near the ruins of the ancient civilization.

“Coach Luo.”

Luo Xue came back to her senses, turned around, and saw Luo Zhendong and Li Ye among others.

They looked around with expressions full of surprise.

According to the latest reports, the battle here had been extremely intense, with a large number of mutant creatures emerging from the ruins!

Luo Zhendong knew best what kind of mutant creatures were contained within the ruins’ containers, and he felt the urgency of the situation. But now…

“What is that…”

Sharp-eyed Li Ye looked towards another area and saw the huge skeleton of the mutant mammoth!

The bones of the mutant mammoth were very hard. Lin Hao didn’t have time to slowly crush the bones; swallowing them didn’t yield any additional evolution points anyway.

“The mutant creatures here were killed by that flood dragon.”

After calming herself, Luo Xue regained her usual composure in front of them.

She no longer had the girlish demeanor she had shown when facing Lin Hao earlier.

“A flood dragon!?” Luo Zhendong and the others were slightly stunned by Luo Xue’s words.

“Wait, are you talking about the one near Dragon Mountain just now…”

He widened his eyes, filled with disbelief.

That flood dragon had flown away in the opposite direction. How could it have appeared here!?

“Did it emit golden flames all over its body and was about thirty meters long!?” Li Ye hurried over, speaking excitedly.

“Yes.” Luo Xue nodded slightly.

“It must be it!” Li Ye affirmed immediately.

Such a powerful creature couldn’t possibly appear twice!

It had to be the same one!

But how did it get here in such a short time?

Did it really fly here directly!?

The shock in everyone else’s hearts was the same as Li Ye’s.

“Where did it go now!?”

Luo Zhendong took a deep breath, calming himself before speaking.

“It entered the ancient ruins. Several ETs just killed many of our people and then rushed in.” At this, Luo Xue gritted her teeth.

The ETs who had landed this time were quite powerful and had killed many people in a short time!

Even those wearing the Type 3 Battle Suits couldn’t handle them!

“I’ll go check it out!” Luo Zhendong took a deep breath and prepared to head down.

“No! It’s very dangerous inside!” Li Ye instinctively spoke up.

“No worries, I have the Type 2 Battle Suit. If there’s danger, I can escape. You stay up here and keep an eye out for any more ETs or members of the EL organization!” Luo Zhendong said seriously.

The next moment, he charged into the underground entrance of the ancient ruins!

…

Thump, thump!

At this moment, inside the underground ruins, there were strong and powerful heartbeat sounds.

Moreover, the heartbeat sounds seemed to be increasing in number and frequency!
