Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Experience Treasure Chest!

TL: Etude

The middle-aged man on the ship couldn’t afford to hesitate any longer and instructed the pilot to operate the vessel at maximum power and leave the area.

He glanced back at the sea, which appeared calm and peaceful.

The origin of that terrifying energy beam was completely unknown!

“Whoever you are, thank you for saving my life,” he shouted towards the area behind them.

At that moment, the ship sped away at an incredible speed!

Meanwhile, the missile fired from the ship was heading straight for the volcanic island.

The level 7 lava beast hadn’t expected such a powerful energy beam to strike. It was hit squarely in the face by the crimson flames Lin Hao had unleashed, causing it to stagger back a few steps. Cracks appeared on its dark grey rocky face.

Boom! Boom!

The missile from the ship exploded right in front of it, causing another massive blast.

Boom! Boom!

Despite the explosions, the lava beast roared furiously, seemingly unaffected.

Its entire body remained in the volcano’s magma, not advancing towards the ocean.

“Phew, phew,” Lin Hao panted on the other side.

Using the golden-quality Crimson Flames was incredibly exhausting, and he felt utterly drained.

“It’s even worse than the aftereffects of going Super Berserk,” he muttered, leaning against a nearby reef, gasping for breath.

“But that creature seemed unscathed despite such an energy blast.”

Lin Hao’s sharp eyes were fixated on the distant scene, filled with shock.

He knew that if a level 6 ET had been hit by that attack, its entire body would have been obliterated!

Yet this creature seemed unharmed.

“Its defense is too strong. Or perhaps my combat power is still too weak. Even golden-quality skills don’t unleash their true power.” Lin Hao thought to himself.

At that moment, he noticed the golden glow of the Crimson Flames on the system panel fade back to its normal skill color.

The hour-long experience with the golden-quality skill had ended!

“It hurts a bit.”

Resting, Lin Hao glanced at his bloodied claws and upper body wounds, feeling a continuous stabbing pain.

The explosion power of the level 6 ET’s shells was still quite strong. The impact at the center was terrifying, but the range damage wasn’t as significant.

“My Dark Iron Thorn Scales’ defense isn’t sufficient anymore.”

“When can I upgrade them again?”

With the appearance of this level 7 mutant creature, Lin Hao realized that he still had much room for improvement!

Extremely Difficult Task: Devour the Level 7 Lava Beast 0/1

He glanced at his task list again.

“If I devour this mutant creature, I’ll gain the Blood Flame form. What on earth is that?”

Without obtaining the task reward, he had no idea what its use would be.

“In a short period, it’s impossible to deal with it.”

“Now, I need to make better use of my time to find either powerful mutant creatures or large numbers of them.”

Upgrade!

I needed to upgrade as quickly as possible!

Moreover, I had to transform into a flood dragon soon!

Otherwise, I wouldn’t stand a chance against this level 7 mutant creature.

“Luo Xue probably knows a lot about mutant creatures. If I get information from her and then devour them, it should be quick!”

Lin Hao continued to gaze at the volcanic island.

The lava beast remained on the island, showing no signs of leaving.

Boom! Boom!

The volcanic island continued to tremble, and the volcanic ash it spewed had filled the entire sky.

The surroundings looked gloomy and dark.

“Forget it, better look for other mutant creatures first.”

After watching for a while and realizing that the mutant lava beast hadn’t moved, Lin Hao swam towards another area.

His current strength wasn’t enough to deal with that lava beast.

“Besides, to deal with such a creature, they might need to use that kind of weapon and just blow it up.”

After all, this mutant creature was on a volcanic island, and there were no people for hundreds of miles around.

Although the strong radiation from such a missile explosion could pollute the ocean, the sea was already teeming with mutant creatures.

Ordinary creatures would be devoured by the mutant ones, and soon, the whole world would have to live without seafood.

Evolution Points: 8,717,000/7,000,000

“My evolution points are enough for an upgrade.”

“I’ll go back to upgrade once the transfer time ends.”

Looking at his accumulated evolution points, Lin Hao thought to himself.

Leaving the area and swimming towards another, he soon sensed numerous creatures not far away with his keen perception.

Although injured, his regeneration ability allowed his wounds to heal quickly.

The bleeding had already stopped, and the wounds were slowly mending.

Soon, he saw a large group of creatures ahead.

Detection!

With this skill, information about those creatures appeared before his eyes.

Level 2 Mutant Pufferfish

Combat Power: 202

“Mutant pufferfish?”

Seeing this, Lin Hao’s eyes brightened slightly.

He had found it. This mutant pufferfish was also on his task list.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that each pufferfish’s body was inflated like a large balloon, covered with many sharp spikes!

These spikes were clearly very sharp, akin to iron needles.

Lin Hao burst forward with incredible speed, rushing at them.

His gaping maw closed in on them, ready to devour them!

Though these mutant pufferfish were covered in iron spikes, Lin Hao didn’t fear them at all.

He swallowed a dozen at a time!

Devoured second-level mutant pufferfish, gained 15,000 evolution points.

Devoured second-level mutant pufferfish, gained 17,000 evolution points.

Devoured…

In a short time, the system notifications kept coming.

Normal Task: Devour 100 Mutant Pufferfish – 100/100

“A total of over a hundred, the system task is complete.”

“Experience treasure chest, what exactly is that?”

Curious about the task reward, Lin Hao pondered.

Could it give him a direct experience boost?
