Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 315

Chapter 315: East City

TL: Etude

“Yes. I need to devour more mutant creatures to speed up the process.” Lin Hao nodded slightly.

Currently, he had about twenty million evolution points, while upgrading required thirty million. He was close to the goal.

At this level, each upgrade brought significant improvements.

Upgrade!

He needed to continue upgrading!

“Let me see.”

Luo Xue nodded slightly and took out her phone to start searching.

She logged into the HXLZ internal website to see which areas recently had a high occurrence of mutant creatures.

“There are many mutant scavenger fish in the river near East City. Their numbers have reached an alarming level.” After checking, she spoke up.

“Scavenger fish?” Lin Hao was slightly taken aback by Luo Xue’s words.

When he first reincarnated as a koi, he devoured many scavenger fish, gaining a considerable number of evolution points.

However, as time went on, the evolution points provided by scavenger fish became very few, and he hadn’t encountered them again.

Unexpectedly, in East City, scavenger fish were rampant and mutated.

“Yes. These creatures are invasive species with no natural enemies, leading to their overpopulation.

In North River of East City, their numbers are especially high. After mutating, they have devoured almost all other creatures in the river, with some scavenger fish reaching several meters in length.”

As Luo Xue read the information, she felt a bit of a headache.

Mutant creatures that were already overpopulated generally became even more numerous and terrifying after mutation.

For other ordinary creatures, it was practically a catastrophe!

“I see.” Lin Hao’s eyes brightened at Luo Xue’s words.

Mutant scavenger fish would provide far more evolution points than ordinary ones!

And with so many of them…

It was practically free experience!

“Many members of various organizations have already gone there to deal with them, but it’s proving very difficult. Are scavenger fish edible?” Luo Xue looked at Lin Hao curiously.

Even before mutation, no one ever ate scavenger fish. They were not only dirty but also had little meat.

“They are. I’ll go there later and eat them all.”

Thinking of this, Lin Hao smiled slightly.

“Okay. Be careful. The EL organization is probably watching you now. They have a lot of high-tech products, probably related to those ETs.” Luo Xue spoke with some concern.

Given Lin Hao’s current physical defense, normal attacks shouldn’t affect him much, but special bombs from ancient civilizations could still significantly impact him.

They might even cause serious injuries!

“Got it. If there’s news about ETs, let me know. Devouring ETs will also help me evolve.” Lin Hao nodded slightly.

He wanted to see how many more of these ETs would come.

Moreover, those so-called intelligent beings from the Cosmic Federation, hailed as “Hunters” by the ETs, would eventually arrive on Earth.

“Got it.” Luo Xue nodded slightly.

Not long after, Luo Xue had to leave to handle other matters within the organization.

At this moment, Lin Hao summoned the system panel with a thought.

Quickly, he brought up the system map.

“Currently, the teleportation coverage has expanded to include cities adjacent to Longyin City. East City is right next to Longyin City, so I can teleport there easily.”

Recently, he had mostly been exploring the ocean and hadn’t visited other cities.

Ordinary fish no longer provided enough evolution points to satisfy his needs.

“I wonder if any new tasks have been refreshed…”

During his rush to level up, Lin Hao hadn’t paid much attention to the task refreshes.

Before teleporting to East City, he summoned the system’s task list with a thought.

[Normal Task: Devour 10,000 mutant creatures 9817/10,000 (Reward: Eye of Weakness)]

[Normal Task: Devour 1,000 mutant black bees 100/100 (Reward: Poisonous Tail Sting)]

[Normal Task: Devour 100 mutant salmon 0/100 (Reward: Experience Box)]

[Normal Task: Devour 1,000 king crabs 0/1,000 (Reward: Blue Quality Skill Enhancement Card)]

[Extremely Difficult Task: Devour level 7 Green Beast Warrior 0/1 (Reward: Hundred Refined Black Star Scales)]

[Extremely Difficult Task: Devour level 7 Behemoth Clan Five-Headed Dragon 0/1 (Reward: Random Gold or Purple-Gold Skill)]

[Extremely Difficult Task: Devour 50 Behemoth Clan creatures 0/50 (Reward: Super Experience Box)]

[Extremely Difficult Task: Devour level 7 Lava Behemoth 0/1 (Reward: Blood Flame Form)]

“Damn! I almost forgot to claim the rewards for completed tasks!”

Seeing the current system tasks, Lin Hao slapped his forehead.

The task to devour the mutant black bees had been completed long ago, but he had forgotten to check it!

“Let’s claim the reward first!”

Without any hesitation, Lin Hao claimed the reward with a thought.

In an instant, a ball of light enveloped his tail.

The next moment, as a strange sensation surged through him, a sharp black sting grew from his tail!

“So this is the Poisonous Tail Sting?”

Looking at the black sting on his tail, Lin Hao was curious.

With a thought, he climbed ashore and swung his tail, driving the sharp sting into a nearby rock.

Boom!

The rock instantly shattered!

The fragments bore traces of black poison.

The black substance was the poison from the tail sting.

“Combining this with the Powerful Tail Slap might be quite effective.”

“There’s still a task to devour 10,000 mutant creatures, which is almost complete.”

“Eye of Weakness…”

Thinking of this, Lin Hao felt a bit excited.

With a thought, he activated the teleportation ability!

His entire body was enveloped in white light.

In the next moment, he disappeared from the spot!

“Shriek!?”

A War Eagle soaring in the sky, seemingly on patrol, saw Lin Hao’s sudden disappearance and its sharp eyes reflected curiosity.

…

East City.

“These creatures are unmanageable!”

A group of people stood on the riverbank, looking at the dense swarm of creatures before them, feeling a shiver down their spines.
