Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Devouring the Mutant Blue-Ringed Octopus

TL: Etude

The thick tentacle began to thrash wildly in an attempt to fling Lin Hao’s claws away.

Upon closer inspection, this tentacle, adorned with large blue rings, was covered in numerous sharp barbs.

The tiny barbs scraped against Lin Hao’s scales, producing crisp sounds.

For an ordinary creature, being entangled by such tentacles would result in their skin being shredded by the hooks.

However, for Lin Hao, it posed no threat.

His sharp claws continued to grip the tentacle firmly as he opened his mouth and bit down.

The tentacle, resembling a dense gelatinous substance, yielded a small tear only after intense gnawing.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In an instant, more giant tentacles surged out from the sunken ship.

The main body of the mutant blue-ringed octopus emerged simultaneously!

Detection!

Lin Hao instinctively used this skill upon seeing the scene.

Level 6 Mutant Blue-Ringed Octopus

Combat Power: 2800

Two thousand eight hundred combat power!

It had only increased by a few points since last time, not by much.

This combat power was still far inferior to his current strength!

With the enhancement from Super Night Battle, his combat power had already reached about three thousand six hundred or seven hundred!

Crimson Flames!

With a thought, even more intense flames erupted from the scales on his body.

The black scales seemed to transform into pieces of golden, burning embers.

In this state, his combat power increased slightly!

As the tentacles tried to wrap around Lin Hao’s body, they were scorched black by the intense heat.

Lin Hao continued to bite down forcefully, severing the tentacle he had been gnawing on.

He then swallowed the severed tentacle whole.

The tentacles that had wrapped around Lin Hao’s body tried to attack him, but his skin was too tough. Though the scales in the injured area hadn’t fully regrown, they were almost there.

After a futile bout of attacking, the tentacles began to retract.

The scorching heat emanating from Lin Hao’s golden flames made it impossible for the creature to continue its assault.

Now, all the thick tentacles were charred!

“Run!? Where to?!”

Lin Hao sneered upon seeing this.

He had come here specifically to devour this mutant blue-ringed octopus and complete his task!

Devouring a level 6 mutant creature would yield over a million evolution points!

In an instant, Lin Hao’s entire body surged forward at incredible speed, reaching the mutant blue-ringed octopus in no time. His thirty-plus meter-long body coiled around the octopus.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The octopus thrashed wildly, letting out strange, loud cries.

But Lin Hao’s claws pierced through its body, pinning it down firmly!

Terrifying flames engulfed its body, turning it black at a visible speed.

The massive tentacle burst forth with tremendous strength, attempting to strike Lin Hao’s body away!

But it was futile!

Lin Hao’s strength had grown even more formidable!

At this moment, he opened his mouth and continued to ferociously tear at the creature!

The mutant blue-ringed octopus’s flesh was ripped off in chunks!

Suddenly, a burst of blue liquid erupted from its head, shooting directly into Lin Hao’s mouth.

Although the flames burning within his body evaporated most of the blue liquid, some still entered Lin Hao’s mouth.

What was this!?

Poison!?

Feeling the situation, Lin Hao’s pupils contracted slightly.

The combat power of this blue-ringed octopus was still significantly lower than his own, so ordinarily, he wouldn’t be concerned.

However, the blue-ringed octopus was known for its potent venom!

His physical defenses were strong, but the poison…

“My mouth feels a bit numb. Is that all!?”

Soon, Lin Hao felt a slight numbness in his mouth, but it was limited to that area!

There were no other anomalies!

Perhaps the flames had evaporated most of the venom, and with his recent task completion, his body now had strong poison resistance, rendering the toxin largely ineffective.

Never mind that!

I’ll devour it first and think later!

Lin Hao paid no attention to the poison, opening his massive maw and continuing to tear and devour with fervor!

Initially, the mutant blue-ringed octopus thrashed wildly, but as Lin Hao’s relentless biting and the scorching heat continued, it became thoroughly cooked.

“Dead?”

Realizing the mutant blue-ringed octopus was now fully cooked, Lin Hao stopped his biting.

Earlier, he had thought this mutant blue-ringed octopus was quite formidable.

“If not for my continuous level upgrades and rapid combat power increase, it would have been tough to handle. The key is having poison resistance.”

Lin Hao now felt the numbness in his mouth slowly beginning to fade.

He looked at the corpse of the mutant blue-ringed octopus lying on the seabed and, without hesitation, opened his mouth to devour it.

“This cooked mutant blue-ringed octopus tastes pretty good.”

As he devoured, Lin Hao couldn’t help but comment.

In a short while, he had completely consumed the mutant blue-ringed octopus.

Devoured mutant blue-ringed octopus, gained 1,500,000 evolution points.

At this moment, the system’s prompt instantly came.

“One and a half million evolution points, not bad.”

Lin Hao glanced around and continued swimming forward.

Boom!

Suddenly, another massive tremor shook the area.

The entire seabed quaked violently, and the water surged wildly.

What’s happening!?

Sensing the situation, Lin Hao’s expression grew serious.

At first, it felt like an ordinary undersea earthquake, but now it seemed different.

Could it be the impact of a mutant creature?

However, his super perception detected no mutant creatures in the vicinity.

In the distance!

He glanced at the sea surface above and, in an instant, surged upwards!

Splash!

The next moment, he broke through the surface of the water!

Countless droplets sprayed in all directions as his entire body leaped out of the sea!
