Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 332

Chapter 332: The Transformation Begins!

TL: Etude

“Lin Hao, are you resting?”

As soon as he answered the phone, Luo Xue’s voice came through.

“No, I just got back from the ocean. What’s up? Did something happen?” he instinctively asked.

After all, it was already the middle of the night, and Luo Xue suddenly calling him made him feel that something must have happened.

“It’s nothing major,” she said. “I’m in the East City now. Did you take care of those mutant scavenger fish?” Luo Xue asked curiously.

Earlier, Lin Hao had asked her where in the nearby cities there were more mutant creatures. She had told him about the rampant mutant scavenger fish in East City. Given the mysterious disappearance of all the mutant scavenger fish in East City, it was highly likely that Lin Hao had devoured them all. After all, she knew Lin Hao needed to consume large quantities of mutant creatures to keep evolving.

“Yes,” Lin Hao confirmed. “I went over there yesterday.”

He briefly described the situation in East City.

“Got it,” Luo Xue said, not surprised. She had already guessed it.

“In the evening, I received the latest news from headquarters. It’s estimated that three spaceships will land in East City in three days. So, I have to go there for a temporary guard duty,” Luo Xue continued.

“Are there ETs again?” Lin Hao squinted slightly upon hearing this. It had been some time since the last ET landing. He hadn’t expected them to land in East City, near Longyin City, this time.

“Yes,” Luo Xue confirmed. “When ETs land, it usually means there are dormant mutant creatures or hidden civilization relics in the area.”

“Alright, I’ll find a chance to come over then. If there are any mutant creatures, I’ll devour them,” Lin Hao said seriously. With his current strength, unless he encountered extremely powerful mutant creatures, he generally wouldn’t have any trouble. Besides, he was about to reach level 60!

“By the way, I might need to sleep for a day or more. I feel I’m about to evolve again,” Lin Hao added before Luo Xue could respond. This evolution to level 60 might extend his sleep and evolution time, but three days should be enough.

“Okay,” Luo Xue replied. They chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

“Three days… I should make it in time,” Lin Hao took a deep breath, calming his excited mind. Holding his tablet, he returned to his usual spot at the bottom of the pool, ready to evolve.

“Transform into a flood dragon,” he thought. “This time, I should truly become a flood dragon.”

Without any hesitation, he activated his thoughts. In an instant, one billion evolution points were deducted, and he entered the state of evolution!

“Damn… it hurts…”

As soon as the one hundred million evolution points were deducted, Lin Hao felt intense pain all over his body.

Sleep! I need to sleep!

The intensity of the pain was unbearable, making Lin Hao feel he couldn’t take it anymore! He wanted to sleep but found he couldn’t fall asleep at all! He was fully conscious!

“Roar!!!”

The escalating pain forced a thunderous roar from Lin Hao. The entire Hualong Pond began to tremble. Lin Hao felt as if countless needles were piercing his flesh and his bones were twisted and shattered like twisted ropes.

Pain! Unbearable pain!

There had been a similar level of pain during a previous evolution, but it wasn’t this intense!

“Damn it…”

Lin Hao had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the excruciating agony.

As time passed, his body began to curl up. The initial unbearable pain slowly subsided as he slipped into a state of sleep. In this state, the severe pain seemed to vanish.

His flesh began to twitch intermittently, and the scales on his body gradually fell off, one by one. The true evolution process continued!

…

Over the next two days, Luo Xue and a group of HXLZ members were conducting drills in East City to counter the ETs.

“According to the coordinates from headquarters, their landing site should be near this mountain,” Luo Xue said. “But there might be some deviation, so we need to guard this entire area to prevent any of them from escaping.”

Luo Xue and many others were standing in front of a mountain.

“Understood,” Zhang Yuanpeng and the other HXLZ members nodded slightly.

“So, the ETs might not appear in the city?” someone from the government asked. If they didn’t appear in the city, it would be much safer for the residents.

“Yes,” Luo Xue nodded. “That’s the assumption, but unexpected situations might occur. For now, let’s prepare for combat based on the current drill.”

It was the second day in East City. They continued their combat drills because the ETs were expected to land in this area by the evening of the third day.

Compared to before, Luo Xue now felt much more confident. After all, she had the Type 1 Suit. Additionally, her strength had significantly increased from continuously absorbing energy from crystal nuclei during her training.

“Alright, let’s continue preparing!” someone from the government responded promptly.

The area was now filled with mortars, tanks, and even some short-range missiles, all in preparation for the ETs’ imminent arrival.

Although they knew the ETs would land nearby, the specific level of their strength remained unknown until they actually arrived. The assumptions were based on the strength of ETs encountered previously.

…

Soon, it was the morning of the third day. The water in Hualong Pond rippled. It seemed that all the creatures in the Dragon Mountain area sensed something and gathered near the pond. Particularly, War Eagle circled above Hualong Pond like a vigilant warrior, exuding an impressive aura.

Splash, splash—

In an instant, the entire Hualong Pond’s water formed peculiar waves, striking out in all directions. The water’s movements were strangely erratic!

Boom!

Amid the shaking earth, a massive black figure soared out from Hualong Pond!
