Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 287

Chapter 287: The Unopenable Door

TL: Etude

In that instant, sharp teeth directly bit into its neck area.

Although its body was covered with skin as thick as armor, Lin Hao’s biting force at this moment was astonishingly strong.

After all, with his combat power reaching such a level, the strength of his entire body was far beyond that of ordinary mutant creatures.

In the next moment, those venomous fangs first pierced through the neck of the mutant Berserk Blackfire Crocodile.

“Roar!!!”

The intense pain caused the mutant Berserk Blackfire Crocodile to start struggling frantically.

However, Lin Hao’s biting force was simply too strong. Coupled with the fact that its limbs were still restrained, it didn’t struggle for long before Lin Hao’s venomous fangs had already injected a strong toxin into its body.

This neurotoxin, even for a mutant creature of this level, couldn’t be completely resisted.

Within a short time, its struggles began to weaken.

At this moment, Lin Hao grabbed its body with both claws and began to bite fiercely!

In an instant, a piece of flesh was torn off!

Dark red blood spurted from its neck.

Its body struggled slower and slower; the neurotoxin was indeed potent.

Lin Hao did not stop his actions, continuing to frantically devour along the wound on its neck!

This mutant creature’s skin and flesh were indeed tough. Devouring its entire body took a full half hour!

Devoured a level 6 mutant Berserk Blackfire Crocodile, gained 3,000,000 evolution points.

“Three million evolution points.”

“Not bad!”

Seeing the system’s prompt, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly.

Three million evolution points!

That was quite a lot.

“But it’s still not enough. This time, upgrading evolution requires ten million evolution points.”

“If I could find a place swarming with creatures like those previous starfish and devour them all at once, I could gain a lot of evolution points.”

Thinking this, Lin Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

“What material is this chain made of?”

“On the surface, it looks like an iron chain, but it’s very heavy.”

Lin Hao picked up the chain that had been restraining the mutant creature.

He could clearly feel its immense weight.

Using his incredibly sharp claws, he tried to scratch it, only leaving a shallow mark.

“I’ll have Luo Xue study it later.”

After tossing the chain aside, he continued swimming forward.

The metal door ahead was the same one he couldn’t open last time.

“How on earth can it be opened…”

There had to be a mechanism to unlock it.

Just like the first door he encountered upon entering, it surely wasn’t meant to be pushed open with brute force.

“Keep looking.”

Lin Hao’s eyes scanned the surroundings, continuing his search.

Beep!

Soon, he noticed a strange sound coming from the metal wall beside him.

A hidden compartment suddenly opened!

Inside this compartment, he clearly saw a special display screen, accompanied by a dark red energy covering his eyes.

The next moment, he heard a voice from some intelligent AI.

Iris recognition in progress… Recognition failed.

Remaining attempts: 2

“Hmm?”

“It requires iris authentication to open?”

Seeing this situation, Lin Hao hesitated for a moment.

Continuing to attempt it would definitely result in failure.

Moreover, consecutive failures might trigger some mechanisms.

“The first door could be pushed open with force. This L2 door should be pushable as well…”

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Hao took a deep breath.

He placed his claws on the metal door again.

Using force!!!

In an instant, he started exerting tremendous strength with his claws!

Powerful energy surged from his claws.

Argh!!!

He gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength.

Creak, creak, creak—

Accompanied by strange sounds, the metal door seemed to start moving a bit!

It could be pushed open!

But it was extremely heavy. Despite using all his strength, Lin Hao could only push it open a little.

“Huff, huff.”

Soon, Lin Hao was panting heavily.

Too heavy.

Who would have thought that this metal door could be so heavy?

“Forget it.”

“Can’t push it open, can’t push it open.”

Lin Hao quickly gave up.

With his current strength, he indeed couldn’t push open this metal door.

“This design clearly allows for either manual pushing or automatic opening by verification.”

“Why design it this way?”

“Could it be that the person who originally built this space really possessed the strength to push open this metal door with their bare hands?”

Thinking this, Lin Hao grew even more curious.

After looking around the area, he didn’t find anything else of note.

“Forget it, I’ll leave it for now.”

He needed to go to that sea area to retrieve the locator and the battle knife held by the level 6 Green Beast Warrior.

Previously, he had hidden those items under a reef while searching for mutant creatures elsewhere.

He wasn’t sure if those locators still worked.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Hao focused his mind, and his entire body transformed into white light, disappearing from the spot.

…

“Monsters! Huge monsters are appearing worldwide!”

“The previous dragon-fall incident, and the Loch Ness monster abroad… Could they all be real!?”

“I told you before, the turkey rampage in America was definitely unusual! How could so many turkeys destroy a city under normal circumstances?”

“No wonder there’s a global sea lockdown! The truth! We need the truth!”

“……”

At this moment, social media platforms worldwide were exploding!

Videos and pictures of mutant creatures were being continuously uploaded everywhere.

People from all over the world were now in shock, plunging into a state of panic!

Moreover, people everywhere were starting to panic-buy supplies!

“Old Zhang! Bad news!

Someone has spread a large amount of information about mutant creatures across major global platforms!

It seems we can’t fully delete it now!”

In the Longyin Research Center, Luo Zhendong rushed into Zhang Tiansheng’s lab, speaking anxiously.

Previously, some people had posted about mutant creatures, but most of those posts were quickly dealt with.

Moreover, there had been few mutant creature incidents, so even when something was posted, most people didn’t believe it.

But recently, strange events had been happening frequently, and with the global sea lockdown, many people were clearly sensing that something was wrong!

“I already know.”

Zhang Tiansheng sat in front of his computer, enlarging pictures of the rocks, continuing his observations.

These days, he had been studying these Behemoth stone carvings and the inscriptions left inside.

“What should we do!?”
