Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 313

Chapter 313: The Slightly Pushed Open Metal Door

TL: Etude

Lin Hao gazed at the metal door, placing both hands on it.

“The previous door up ahead was forced open by me. But here, it can’t be pushed open. There’s only an iris scanner over there. If you press it, the scanner will activate. There are three attempts allowed. I failed once before because I didn’t know.”

While speaking, he began to exert force with his claws!

Compared to before, his combat power had increased significantly.

His claws had also become much stronger. He wasn’t sure if he could push it open this time.

“Hmm.”

Luo Xue nodded slightly as she listened to Lin Hao, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

This underwater civilization relic was indeed completely different from anything they had seen before.

All around were huge glass containers, with nothing else in sight.

She had also found the hidden compartment for the iris scanner.

This device couldn’t be used recklessly. Consecutive failed attempts could trigger some mechanism.

She continued to search for any other switches to open the metal door.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao, with his claws on the metal door, began to exert more force!

With his combat power now over five thousand points, the strength his claws unleashed was far greater than before.

“Open up!!!”

Accompanied by Lin Hao’s intense effort, the enormous metal door emitted a faint creaking sound.

Upon closer inspection, the metal door was indeed slightly pushed open!

Lin Hao, who had been closely monitoring the situation, widened his eyes slightly.

It was opening!

It could really be pushed open!

However, he had only managed to open a small crack, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t push it further.

Bang!

In the next moment, as Lin Hao withdrew his claw’s strength, the small crack in the massive metal door closed again.

“It should be movable. But it requires more strength.”

Lin Hao was now certain that the metal door could be pushed open with sufficient force.

“I haven’t found any other switches.”

Luo Xue, who had been searching for a while, spoke to Lin Hao.

“Hmm. It seems we can’t open this metal door for now.”

Seeing this, Lin Hao felt a bit helpless.

He had hoped to open the metal door to see what was inside, and whether it also contained numerous glass containers filled with mutant creatures.

There might even be seventh-tier mutant creatures.

“This relic is a bit strange. I’ll look into similar relics when we get back.” Luo Xue nodded slightly.

They didn’t stay much longer and soon swam back to the shore.

“Hiss!”

War Eagle flew over from a distance and quickly landed nearby.

This time, even its head was covered in armor, making it look like a mechanical eagle.

Its body size was much larger than before, standing at four meters tall, with a wingspan of up to fourteen meters.

It wasn’t just War Eagle; all the mutant creatures in Dragon Mountain had grown significantly larger.

Even the carp in the Hualong Pond were now two to three meters long.

If anyone were to visit the Dragon King Temple now and witness the scene in the Hualong Pond, they would surely be astonished.

“If you haven’t become a warrior, you can’t wear the battle suits?” Lin Hao asked Luo Xue curiously.

He initially wanted his parents to wear the Type 1 Suit to keep them safer. However, it seemed that without becoming warriors, they couldn’t properly wear the battle suits.

“They can wear it, but it won’t activate any effects. It might even cause injuries due to the pressure from the suit,” Luo Xue replied, somewhat helplessly.

These battle suits required a certain level of physical fitness from the user. Wearing them rashly could render many functions useless or even cause harm.

“Hmm. Then I’ll have to find a way to make my parents warriors,” Lin Hao said seriously.

The number of mutant creatures appearing globally was increasing, and it wouldn’t be long before ETs descended upon Earth. There might even be ‘hunters’ from the Cosmic Federation showing up.

He needed to become as strong as possible in a short amount of time.

“Our headquarters has been researching safe methods for people to become warriors, and we’ve made some progress,” Luo Xue continued.

The concentration of the GT virus in the global atmosphere was increasing daily. Everyone was already carrying the GT virus. Some people might only experience a mild fever and then become stronger, while others, whose bodies were too sensitive or had strong immune systems, might suffer fatal allergic reactions.

Previously, the Global Alliance had estimated that if the GT virus concentration continued to rise, about thirty percent of the global population could die from it.

Thus, organizations worldwide had been experimenting to find a way for humans to safely integrate with the GT virus.

Now, they were starting to see results.

“That’s good.”

Listening to Luo Xue, Lin Hao felt a bit relieved.

As long as his parents could safely become warriors, he could secure top-tier resources, ensuring that both his parents and Luo Xue could become powerful.

High-tier crystal cores were particularly important for warriors’ training, but they were average for Lin Hao. After all, consuming one would only give fifty thousand evolution points.

It was better to directly devour a seventh-tier mutant creature.

“I feel like I need to enter a sleep evolution. You should train here for now. I’ll hibernate for a while,” Lin Hao said to Luo Xue.

With the influence of “Auspicious Guardian,” not only did the evolution speed of nearby creatures increase, but even warriors’ training speed accelerated. Additionally, it brought a luck attribute.

“Alright.”

Luo Xue knew that Lin Hao had devoured many mutant creatures last night. According to Lin Hao, as long as he devoured enough mutant creatures, his body would continue to evolve.

She now needed to find a way to trade with the top brass at headquarters to obtain the corpses of those high-tier mutant creatures for Lin Hao to consume.

Splash—

At this moment, Lin Hao’s figure once again plunged into the Hualong Pond.

Level up!

This upgrade required twenty million evolution points!

It was quite painful, indeed!

“Almost there. Soon, I’ll reach level sixty. By then, I should be able to deal with that lava beast.”
