Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Underwater Earthquake

TL: Etude

After repeating the process a few times, the simultaneous translator began to emit a sizzling sound.

Soon, it crashed.

“This machine seems to be somewhat damaged. But for now, we’ve already gathered some useful information.”

Luo Xue was a bit excited as well.

She took out her phone and transferred the recent conversation to her computer. With her headphones on, she began to translate while listening.

The ET language, through the joint efforts of linguists worldwide, had almost been deciphered.

The simultaneous translation machine should be able to convert those words into the Dragon Nation language for playback, but since she couldn’t operate it, she had to resort to this method for translation.

“Great Behemoth Clan… asleep in the war with the Cosmic Federation…”

“When the flames of war reignite, it will be the time of our return… Behemoth blood boils endlessly…”

“……”

Although the translated text seemed a bit awkward, Luo Xue’s eyes widened as she read the information.

Her heart skipped a beat.

“Behemoths!? Are these the Behemoth Clan that Lin Hao heard about?”

At this moment, Luo Xue felt a chill down her spine, her eyes filled with shock.

According to the translated text, those giant creatures that had turned into stone statues were highly likely to be revived!

“We need to gather all the text and decipher it further. But the simultaneous translator that can translate these texts seems to be a bit damaged.”

Luo Xue felt a headache coming on.

The more she knew, the more she realized the danger Earth currently faced.

Behind these ETs was definitely the so-called Cosmic Federation, and there was another cosmic force, likely the Behemoth Clan.

These Behemoths, though not following the path of technology, clearly possessed powerful physiques and bodies, possibly capable of crossing the stars and flying directly to Earth!

“This information needs to be reported to headquarters. I’ll go again tomorrow.” Luo Xue took a deep breath to calm herself.

This time, she hadn’t captured many texts, but in that underground space and the seemingly bottomless passage, there were still many texts.

She needed to photograph all those texts, organize them into computer files, and decipher them to obtain more critical information.

Maybe they could even decipher what happened on Earth back then.

“First, I’ll inform Lin Hao of this news. So tired… I wonder what he’s doing.”

Luo Xue stretched, then lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

After all, she had been busy nonstop since visiting the underground ruins, and it was now midnight. She was truly exhausted.

…

“Just one more! This is really hard to find!”

At that moment, Lin Hao was still tirelessly searching for the mutant blue-ringed octopus.

Originally, he had already devoured ninety-nine of them. He didn’t know how long he’d been searching for the last one, but he still hadn’t found it.

“Hmm!? Here it is!”

At that moment, Lin Hao, who had scoured the nearby waters, clearly spotted an octopus.

He swiftly swam over, and upon seeing the blue-ring-like markings on its body, his eyes lit up with excitement.

Here it is!

In an instant, Lin Hao opened his bloodthirsty mouth and swallowed the blue-ringed octopus whole.

“Devoured blue-ringed octopus, gained 100 evolution points.”

“Finally completed the task, it wasn’t easy at all.”

He glanced at the system’s task panel and couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

“Difficult task: Devour one hundred blue-ringed octopuses 100/100 (Reward: Significantly enhanced poison resistance)”

“Claim reward!” Without any hesitation, Lin Hao chose to claim his reward.

In that instant, a dark blue light enveloped his entire body.

He clearly felt a strange cool sensation spreading throughout his body.

However, this cool sensation didn’t last long and soon faded away.

“Is it over already? With greatly enhanced poison resistance, the effect should be good, right? I hope I won’t get poisoned when fighting that mutant blue-ringed octopus.”

Blue-ringed octopuses inherently possessed strong toxins, and the toxin of a mutant blue-ringed octopus would only be stronger!

“With greatly enhanced poison resistance, even if I get poisoned, it shouldn’t be a big deal. And it might not even be able to hurt me.”

After calming himself down, Lin Hao swam towards the other side.

“Mutant Sea Eel King, I wonder where it is.”

“If I devour that guy, I can discharge electricity.”

As he swam forward, he internally complained.

Previously, he had completed tasks to devour mutant sea eels, but those were all ordinary mutant sea eels. He hadn’t encountered a powerful Mutant Sea Eel King.

Rumble!

As he continued to swim forward, he suddenly felt the entire seabed tremble.

What’s going on!?

This sudden situation made Lin Hao’s expression change.

Mutant creatures!?

He released his powerful sensing ability but didn’t detect any traces of mutant creatures.

Swimming forward quickly, he only saw some frenzied fish darting around, but no signs of any mutant creatures.

The tremors didn’t last long and soon began to subside.

“Why was there a sudden underwater earthquake?”

Underwater earthquakes usually occur due to sudden movements of fractured rocks beneath the surface.

In the past, this might have seemed normal, but now, Lin Hao felt it was far from simple.

He didn’t dwell on it much longer because as he continued swimming forward, he soon saw the enormous sunken ship from before!

“I wonder if it’s still inside.”

Lin Hao’s gaze fixed on the ship ahead, his expression becoming serious.

This mutant blue-ringed octopus was different from the previous mutant creatures; this one was venomous.

And certainly extremely venomous!

The previously injured area, where the scales hadn’t fully regrown, was still a bit vulnerable.

As he approached the sunken ship, Lin Hao’s entire body suddenly ignited with golden flames!

Golden Flame Body!

The surrounding seawater instantly became scorching hot.

Whoosh!

Inside the sunken ship, the creature seemed to sense the temperature change. In an instant, a giant tentacle shot out from the ship!

Here it comes!

Seeing the tentacle lunging at him, Lin Hao twisted his massive body slightly, dodging it effortlessly.

In that moment, he seized the opportunity and grabbed the giant tentacle with his incredibly sharp claws!

His claws, covered in golden flames, were extremely sharp and pierced into the tentacle effortlessly!
