Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Level Ten! Growing Horns!

TL: Etude

Seeing this scene, the man was startled, his body instinctively trembling.

What kind of creature could have devoured such a large fish skeleton?!

At this point, he quickly surfaced.

“Brother! There… there’s something here!!!”

He hurriedly waved to the others.

Soon, the rest of the group swam over.

In no time, they retrieved the entire fish skeleton.

“What you saw earlier should be this fish, right?”

“No idea what ate it.”

They moved the intact skeleton of the mutated catfish to the shore and addressed the three men.

“Brother, this fish bone should be worth some money.”

One of the men whispered to a middle-aged man beside him.

The fish bone was massive, thick, and remarkably complete.

Finding such a fish bone in a freshwater river was unheard of.

“Mm.”

He responded softly, also finding the fish bone incredibly mysterious.

What kind of fish was this?

It was over two meters long!

“Seems different.”

The three men were equally shocked as they examined the fish bone, noticing the sharp, serrated teeth.

However, the outline of the fish bone didn’t quite match the fish they had seen.

“Koi fish, the fish we saw was a koi fish!”

One of the three men spoke up.

“Koi fish?”

“A nearly two-meter-long koi fish with teeth? What a joke…”

A young man shook his head, then suddenly thought of something, his expression changing.

“If what you’re saying is true, could that koi fish have eaten this equally large fish?”

“We saw some huge fish organs down there…”

His face turned pale as he spoke, his gaze fixed on the cold river, feeling a chill run down his spine.

“Gulp.”

They exchanged glances, swallowing nervously.

If their guess was right, they could have been eaten too just now!

“Stop searching, let’s get out of here!”

Realizing the danger, they no longer wanted to stay.

Encountering such a fish would be hard to survive; they didn’t want to risk their lives!

None of them wanted to stay a moment longer and were ready to flee.

“Wait, brother, take the fish bone with us!”

“…..”

……

Meanwhile, Lin Hao was oblivious to all of this, still in the process of evolving.

As night fell, he slowly regained consciousness and saw the system notification.

Evolution Complete

Congratulations to the Host for reaching Level 10, receiving a Blue Treasure Chest.

“Huh!?”

“Evolved successfully? And a treasure chest!?”

Awakened by the system’s notification, Lin Hao instantly became alert.

“My night vision seems stronger.”

He noticed it was already nighttime, yet his vision was much clearer.

His night vision had evidently improved!

Checking the System Panel

“Hehe, finally evolved to level ten!”

“My body length has grown to two meters, and my weight has reached 201 jin!”

Looking at the system panel, Lin Hao felt a bit excited.

Now his combat power had reached twenty points!

“With my current state, if I encounter that mutated catfish again, it will be much easier to kill it.”

“Right, let’s check out the system’s treasure chest reward first!”

Receive Reward?

Seeing the system’s prompt, Lin Hao didn’t hesitate and chose to receive it!

After receiving the reward, he immediately chose to open it!

Anything useful from the treasure chest could be used right away, which would be beneficial for enhancing his strength.

This time, a phantom image of a blue treasure chest appeared before him.

With a thought, the blue treasure chest slowly opened.

Thump, thump!

Lin Hao’s heart began to beat slowly, feeling a bit nervous this time.

After all, this was a blue treasure chest!

Creak—

As the sound of the treasure chest opening echoed, he saw many rotating entries.

Enhanced Speed, Enhanced Physique, Sturdy Fin, Sharp Serrated Teeth…

At this moment, these entries started to spin visibly faster and faster.

“All blue entries.”

“Give me something good!”

Lin Hao prayed silently.

Soon, the spinning entries began to slow down.

Then, they gradually stopped on one entry.

Sharp Horn

“Sharp Horn!?”

“What is this?”

Seeing the drawn item, Lin Hao was momentarily stunned.

Sharp Horn: A sharp horn with considerable lethal power.

Use now?

The system prompt followed.

“Use it!”

After a brief thought, Lin Hao chose to use it!

No matter what kind of horn it was, he would use it first and then figure it out!

As he chose to use it, he felt an itchy sensation on a spot atop his head.

It felt like something was growing out of his skin.

Quickly, a sharp horn appeared on Lin Hao’s head.

“As a dignified koi, growing such a horn is a bit strange.”

Feeling the sharp horn growing from the top center of his head, Lin Hao felt a bit amused.

“However, this horn seems quite sharp. If I accelerate and charge, it could cause significant impact damage.”

Thinking this, he felt a bit excited.

This meant he had another means of attack.

Hehe!

“Hmm?”

“It seems my mouth has also gotten a bit larger.”

Lin Hao noticed that the structure of his mouth had changed slightly, appearing to stretch more to the sides and allowing him to open it wider.

“Continuing to evolve, which direction will I head in?”

“Will I be able to evolve hands and feet!?”

Lin Hao muttered to himself.

If he had hands and feet, hunting other creatures would be much easier!

He floated slightly above the water and saw a wild boar drinking by the shore.

“Let’s start with you as a test.”
