Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 241

Chapter 241: It Disappeared

TL: Etude

Flood dragon!

Hearing Luo Zhendong’s words, Zhang Tiansheng’s eyes widened.

“Flood dragon!?”

“Whose name is flood dragon!?” he couldn’t help but exclaim.

Zhang Tiansheng instinctively thought it was a person’s name. After all, the legendary flood dragon helping them deal with those extraterrestrials and mutant creatures seemed too incredible to consider directly.

“It’s not a person.”

“It’s a flood dragon!”

“A real flood dragon!”

Luo Zhendong took a deep breath, still unable to completely calm his emotions. After all, everything that had happened tonight was too shocking to process.

“A real flood dragon!?” Zhang Tiansheng was stunned.

“The flood dragon mentioned in those earlier incidents?!”

He quickly regained his composure.

“Yes!”

“Tonight…”

Luo Zhendong nodded and recounted everything that had happened that night.

Listening to him, Zhang Tiansheng felt increasingly incredulous.

“A creature of such immense size couldn’t just disappear…”

According to Luo Zhendong’s account, this flood dragon was over thirty meters long and vanished after entering the ancient ruins. It didn’t make sense! How could it disappear into thin air!?

“I’ll go take a look.” Zhang Tiansheng leaped down from the area.

“Mr. Zhang, your injury…”

“It’s fine. The bleeding has stopped; I won’t die just yet.”

After he jumped down, his eyes scanned the surroundings, clearly noticing that the ground was pitch black, obviously scorched by intense flames.

He continued searching the areas with burn marks but found no trace of any mutant creatures.

“It really did vanish into thin air.” In the end, Zhang Tiansheng was baffled.

“I saw a flash of light before it disappeared. Although it’s hard to believe, I suspect it might be… a deity of our land,” Luo Zhendong said, unable to contain himself while watching Zhang Tiansheng search in vain.

“Perhaps it possesses some special ability unknown to us. Since it doesn’t seem hostile to us, let’s leave it at that for now.” Although still very curious, Zhang Tiansheng had no other leads to follow.

“Alright.” Luo Zhendong nodded slightly.

The two exchanged a glance and left the underground ruins. Many people had already gathered at the entrance to the ancient ruins above. Their faces were filled with solemnity. Earlier, loud sounds of a massive battle had echoed from below, clearly indicating something significant had occurred. Luo Zhendong had rushed down, and they had no idea what was going on.

Luo Xue stood there, her eyes filled with worry. After all, Lin Hao was still below! Moreover, he had been seriously injured in the previous battle.

“Someone’s coming up!”

At that moment, the sharp-eyed Li Ye seemed to have spotted something and immediately shouted.

The others, hearing his words, looked down. Beams of light illuminated the entrance to the ancient ruins, revealing two familiar figures.

“Mr. Zhang!”

“Coach Luo!”

Seeing the two figures, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

They could now walk out leisurely, which proved that the mutant creatures and even the ETs in the underground ancient ruins had been dealt with!

But what about Lin Hao?!

Luo Xue looked at Luo Zhendong and Zhang Tiansheng as they walked up, and then continued to look inside, seeing no creatures at all!

Her heart sank.

Instinctively, she walked forward.

“Don’t worry, I have successfully obtained the Type 1 Battle Suit.”

Seeing Luo Xue approach, Zhang Tiansheng felt relieved. Although Luo Xue usually seemed indifferent, she still respected her teachers and seemed genuinely concerned for his safety.

“Teacher, where did the flood dragon go!?” The next moment, Luo Xue’s voice came through.

“Flood dragon?” Zhang Tiansheng was taken aback.

“It disappeared,” Luo Zhendong said instinctively from the side.

“When I went down just now, I saw a ball of light. When that light dissipated, I searched but found no living creatures.” Luo Zhendong’s voice was filled with instinctive surprise.

“Disappeared…” Listening to him, Luo Yue was also in a daze.

It couldn’t have died. It must have left using some special method.

‘Tomorrow, I’ll go to Hualong Pond to check. It should be there.’ Thinking this, Luo Xue felt much more at ease.

“Teacher, are you alright?” At this moment, Luo Xue noticed the severe injuries on Zhang Tiansheng.

“I’m… I’m fine.” Zhang Tiansheng touched his long white beard, feeling a bit helpless.

This girl had been so focused on the flood dragon earlier. However, it was the first time he had seen Luo Xue so interested in a creature.

“Tonight, there shouldn’t be any more ETs or other mutant creatures. Clean up the battlefield and gather at the research institute at noon tomorrow. I have important news to share with you.” He scanned everyone with a stern look.

This news was something he had unexpectedly discovered during this challenge!

“Yes!” Seeing Zhang Tiansheng’s severe expression, everyone responded immediately.

…

“Phew, finally back.”

At the same time, with a flash of light, Lin Hao’s figure reappeared in Hualong Pond!

With his appearance, the koi in the pond began swimming around as if cheering for his return.

“Hmm? You all seem to have grown a lot bigger.”

On closer inspection, it was evident that the koi in Hualong Pond had indeed grown significantly.

A person’s success benefits their close ones too.

“Who knows, maybe you all can evolve to a very strong level in the future,” Lin Hao smiled.

After reuniting with Luo Xue tonight, he was in a very good mood.

“She should know I’m here and will definitely come over.”

To avoid encountering those from the government and HXLZ again, he had directly teleported back. But with Luo Xue’s intelligence, she would surely think to come here, so he wasn’t worried.

“Next time, I’ll have her bring a phone to call my parents.”

His parents must be heartbroken over the news of his death. Informing them that he was alive first, then slowly revealing his transformation, seemed like the best approach. Otherwise, the truth would be too fantastical and unbelievable.

“It still hurts a bit.”

Lin Hao twisted his body, looking at the wounds on his back. Although they had stopped bleeding and were healing, it would take time for the scales to fully regrow.

“I wonder how many of those terrifying bombs they have. Those things really could kill me.”

Thinking about it, Lin Hao’s expression turned serious.

With a thought, the system panel appeared before his eyes.

“This time’s evolution points… so many!?”
