Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Volcanic Eruption

TL: Etude

“How is the life energy on the volcanic island now?”

At this moment, the chief commander looked towards another man.

“The powerful wave of life energy just now suddenly decreased. I’m not sure what’s going on.”

The man stared at the curve on the screen. It had reached its peak but then suddenly dropped.

Now it seemed relatively stable again.

“It’s decreasing again. Is it because of the appearance of that ET or some other reason?” The chief commander’s brows furrowed tightly.

The satellite images had not captured anything, and the drones had been damaged, making it impossible to see what was happening.

He was very curious now about what exactly had occurred.

…

At this moment, the ship had already approached the volcanic island at an extremely fast speed.

Rumble!

As soon as they arrived, they could distinctly feel the strong tremors.

They could also clearly see a large amount of thick smoke continuously emerging from the volcanic crater!

Within the smoke, there were even flashes of fire, with many sparks being emitted.

“This volcano seems like it’s about to erupt! Damn it, this used to be an extinct volcano. How did it suddenly become an active volcano, and why is there a life energy fluctuation?”

…

Everyone standing on the ship had already put on their combat suits.

They looked towards the distance but saw no signs of any creatures.

“Did someone just board that yacht?”

They could clearly see a yacht docked on the shore of the volcanic island.

“And there’s a gun!”

A sharp-eyed man noticed a laser gun on the nearby shore!

“The spaceship is over there. There might be an ET hiding on the island! Be careful!”

The middle-aged man in charge spoke while carrying a battle knife on his back. As the ship docked, he leapt directly from the vessel, landing steadily on the ground.

Clang!

In an instant, he drew the battle knife from his back and walked towards the front area.

His eyes scanned the surroundings cautiously.

“What’s the status of the drones?”

He used his communicator to speak to some operators on the ship.

From the ship’s command center, they could use drones to capture the situation on the entire volcanic island.

“There are no signs of ET or other creatures on the entire island.”

From the drone’s perspective, indeed, no traces of any creatures were visible.

“That shouldn’t be possible.” The middle-aged man frowned.

How could they not capture any signs of life?

What about the terrifying crimson flame ray that had just surged forward?

“Surround and search both sides!”

He turned and looked at the others who had also arrived on the volcanic island’s shore, waving his hand as he spoke.

“Yes!”

Everyone nodded and drew their battle knives.

These alien creatures wore armor with extremely high defensive capabilities.

This armor could even deflect bullets!

To kill them, one had to use these extremely sharp, special battle knives.

“How on earth was this done?!”

The leading middle-aged man walked towards a certain area on the island and quickly saw a wide, circular mark, pierced through the ground by a powerful jet.

It must have been caused by that terrifying flame ray.

“What is this…?”

At that moment, he seemed to have noticed something. He rushed forward with a quick stride and saw some bones.

Upon picking up the bones and examining them closely, his eyes widened even further.

ET bones!

He had participated in dissecting those ETs and was very familiar with their skeletal structure.

The bones he had found were undoubtedly from an ET!

“Could it be that the ET who landed here on the spaceship was killed by some mutant creature on the island?”

He stood there, scanning the surroundings from a high vantage point.

But he couldn’t see any signs of life!

“Captain!”

“There are no signs of ETs around the spaceship!”

“We found a laser gun here!”

…

Everyone moved quickly in their combat armor.

In a short time, they had almost completed a full search of the island!

They hadn’t found any signs of life.

However, they did find several laser guns!

“And this device, though I’m not sure what it is. It’s a bit damaged.”

One of the men had found a locator device placed by the EL organization earlier.

The device had been damaged in the recent battle, so Lin Hao hadn’t taken it.

“Take this back first.” The leading middle-aged man nodded slightly.

Rumble!

At this moment, the tremors on the entire volcanic island became even more frequent.

More thick smoke poured from the volcano, and the intense flames made the smoke glow red.

They could also see many sparks continually shooting out.

“Get that spaceship onto the ship first! The volcano is about to erupt!”

The leading middle-aged man, feeling the increasingly strong tremors, shouted to everyone around him.

“Yes!”

After scanning the surroundings to ensure there were no further anomalies, everyone gathered around the spaceship. They took their positions and began to lift it!

With their combat armor operating at full power, the spaceship slowly began to rise!

“Oh? They can actually lift it. The strength enhancement from the combat suits is indeed significant.”

Lin Hao, hidden on the coral reef in the nearby sea, could clearly see the situation on the volcanic island.

It seemed these people intended to load the ET’s spaceship onto their ship.

The ship was large enough to carry the spaceship.

“I wonder if this spaceship has a return function. If it does, does that mean we could use it to travel to their planet?”

With that thought, Lin Hao became curious about what the ET’s planet might be like.

The world inhabited by intelligent life beyond Earth was indeed intriguing.

Rumble!

At that moment, the tremors on the entire volcanic island intensified!

Lava began to spurt from the crater.

“Is it about to erupt?!”

Seeing this, Lin Hao’s eyes widened.

Would the mutant creature appear after the eruption?

Based on what he had heard about the life energy on the volcanic island, the EL organization members, and even the ET landing here, there had to be something present.

Civilization ruins… unlikely.

It was probably a mutant creature!

“Let’s wait a bit longer. Let’s see if the mutant creature awakens with the eruption.”

Lin Hao murmured to himself, continuing to hide in the area.

“Hurry! Get on the ship!!!”
