Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Luo Xue Acquires a Crystal Core

TL: Etude

“Yes. It’s just that for now, we can’t handle No. 002.” Zhang Tianyang nodded slightly, showing a wry smile.

“Its current location is in the Atlantic Ocean, seemingly searching for something. The other countries have also noticed this situation and have ultimately decided to temporarily cease attacking.”

As he spoke, his expression became grave.

This No. 002 differed from other mutant creatures. Its power was much stronger, and its speed was extremely fast.

Trying to lock onto it with missiles was simply impossible.

Moreover, ever since its appearance and the destruction of Lin Tian Ancient City, it hadn’t launched any further attacks on human cities.

Without absolute certainty, no country wanted to launch missiles and risk enraging it, leading to the destruction of their cities.

After all, the power it unleashed at that time was enough to destroy a small town.

“Yes.” Luo Xue responded indifferently.

She wasn’t surprised by this decision.

Given the current situation, taking the initiative to attack such a powerful and mysterious mutant creature was not beneficial for any country.

All they could do was continue monitoring to see what it was trying to do.

In the meantime, they needed to keep improving their strength.

“Don’t worry. As long as we keep getting stronger, there will be a chance for revenge.”

Zhang Tianyang knew that Luo Xue’s former boyfriend had died in Lin Tian Ancient City.

Because of this, Luo Xue had been constantly seeking the latest information about ‘No. 002′.

“Alright.”

Luo Xue’s face remained expressionless.

“By the way, there’s something this time that will help you enhance your strength.” After thinking for a moment, Zhang Tianyang smiled.

“Come, let’s go to the laboratory.”

Soon, they arrived at an enormous laboratory where Zhang Tianyang opened a special safe and took out a black box.

Click!

As the box opened, Luo Xue saw a crystal inside emitting a dark red energy glow.

“This is…”

Seeing this, Luo Xue’s pupils contracted slightly.

She could clearly sense the powerful energy emanating from the crystal!

Wait, could it be…

“A crystal core,” Zhang Tianyang said seriously.

“This is a crystal core!?” Seeing this for the first time, Luo Xue’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Previously, in Longyin City, during a meeting Zhang Tiansheng mentioned that mutant creatures above Level 7 had crystal cores in their bodies!

But in reality, this was Luo Xue’s first time seeing one!

“Yes. This is a fragment of a shattered Level 7 crystal core.”

Zhang Tianyang smiled faintly.

“A Level 7 mutant creature that appeared in the desert was hit by a mushroom cloud weapon, causing its crystal core to shatter into many pieces.”

The physical strength of a mutant creature above Level 7 became incredibly terrifying; ordinary missiles couldn’t kill them!

However, since the Level 7 mutant creature appeared in the desert, which was already a missile test area, the decision was made to directly launch a powerful mushroom cloud weapon. This instantly bombarded the Level 7 mutant creature into smithereens!

But similarly, the crystal core shattered into many pieces.

“Under such an explosion, the crystal core only shattered into several pieces…” Luo Xue stared at the crystal core in astonishment.

Its hardness was incredible!

“This crystal core not only has a very high level of hardness, but the radiation from the explosion doesn’t stick to it. Luo Xue, try to extract energy from this crystal core.”

At this moment, Zhang Tianyang picked up a fragment of the crystal core and handed it to Luo Xue.

“Mr. Zhang, this is too valuable.”

Hearing Zhang Tianyang’s words, Luo Xue was momentarily stunned and then immediately shook her head.

Such crystal cores, found only in Level 7 or higher mutant creatures, were undoubtedly precious resources for all countries!

Moreover, such resources should be used by the strongest in the nation first.

She was well aware of her own strength. Although she had improved rapidly, it was still far from sufficient.

“Haha, no need to decline. Many people at our headquarters have already received these crystal core fragments.” Zhang Tianyang laughed at Luo Xue’s words.

Many people had received them?

Luo Xue was slightly taken aback.

“Extracting the energy from these requires a strong understanding of cultivation techniques. To truly extract and absorb the energy inside also requires great talent. So now the headquarters is conducting trials.” Zhang Tianyang continued.

“Trials?” Luo Xue seemed to understand the reason.

“Yes, we’re trying to see if some highly talented warriors can extract and absorb the energy inside. If they can, headquarters will focus on training them, and they might get priority access to crystal core resources in the future. After all, the number of mutant creatures is increasing, and our warriors’ strength is still insufficient.” Zhang Tianyang sighed.

That was the reality.

Currently, the situation was not favorable for humanity.

Recently, the number and frequency of mutant creature appearances had been increasing.

Especially in the ocean, it had become a significant threat to humans.

“Alright. I will try.”

Luo Xue accepted the crystal emitting a dark red energy glow and spoke seriously.

Absorbing the energy from the crystal core would speed up her cultivation.

To gain greater power, this was essential!

“You have half a month. If you can’t extract the energy, the crystal core will be taken back and given to others to try.” Zhang Tianyang added.

“Okay.” Luo Xue nodded slightly.

She had to find a way to absorb the energy from this crystal core!

……

Time quickly passed, and it was noon the next day.

Under the scorching sun, a massive figure suddenly emerged from Hualong Pond, bursting out of the water!

Splash!

Countless water droplets splattered all around in an instant!

A giant black figure, resembling a flood dragon, soared into the air, hovering in mid-air!

His injuries had completely healed, with black scales covering his entire body, looking as if he had never been wounded!

“Leveling up twice in a row, even the Flying Divine Ability has been upgraded by one level!”

Lin Hao, who had just awakened, felt his body suspended above Hualong Pond and was delighted.

The upgrade of the Flying Divine Ability had a very noticeable effect.

Now his entire body could stay in the air for a longer period, and using the energy for flying was more effortless!

However, this effect didn’t last long. The next moment, his body fell back into the water.

A large splash scattered, causing the nearby small animals to scatter away.

“Huh?”

“Why have these birds become so big!?”
