Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 362

Chapter 362: Changes

TL: Etude

“Yes!” Everyone responded promptly to Zhang Tianyang’s words.

“Also, have Luo Xue and the others return immediately after finishing their tasks.”

As Zhang Tianyang spoke, he walked towards the remote conference room.

Given the current situation, it was necessary to contact the official organizations of various countries worldwide. They had to decide whether to preemptively attack the spaceships with missiles, shooting them down as they approached the moon, or to make other preparations. However, previous attempts to shoot down the spaceships had shown that ordinary missiles were ineffective; weapons with hydrogen warheads were required. Moreover, it was not enough to have just one; a global coalition was needed.

…

“There are battle blades inside the spaceship!”

“And quite a few laser guns!”

…

Meanwhile, after leaving the civilization ruins, Luo Xue and the others flew towards the large spaceship. The soldiers guarding the area did not dare to enter recklessly. After all, this was not an ordinary spaceship but an interstellar one. Who knew if there were any strange switches or other dangerous things inside? They had to wait for professional HXLZ members to handle it.

As Luo Xue led the warriors in battle suits inside, they could clearly see many battle blades and other types of weapons. There were also numerous laser weapons stored in special compartments.

“Team Leader Luo, those ETs have really disappeared, and the footprints are definitely from giant mutant creatures. Should we continue to investigate in the other direction?” Zhang Yuanpeng asked as he entered the spaceship, addressing Luo Xue, who was examining the equipment inside.

“No need,” Luo Xue shook her head. “Those ETs have been dealt with, and the mutant creatures won’t appear again,” she said calmly.

“Alright then,” Zhang Yuanpeng, though curious, didn’t press further. After all, the crisis in East City had been completely resolved.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

At that moment, Luo Xue, who was inspecting the spaceship’s interior, felt her phone vibrating. She took it out and answered the call.

“This is Luo Xue.”

“Luo Xue, hurry back to headquarters…” The voice on the other end quickly relayed the message.

Listening to the explanation, Luo Xue’s pupils contracted slightly. Such a situation had arisen?!

“Alright, we’ll return immediately,” she said, hanging up the phone and looking at Zhang Yuanpeng and the others. “Leave a portion of the team here to guard and handle these spaceships. The rest of you, return to headquarters with me!”

Her gaze swept over the group. Return to headquarters? Hearing her words, everyone was momentarily stunned. Had something major happened?

…

“This ruin beneath the Hualong Pond is indeed a prison,” Lin Hao murmured. “It even holds mutant creatures of the Behemoth Clan.”

Having left the civilization ruins, Lin Hao returned to the Hualong Pond and swam directly to the shore.

Splash!

A large amount of water splashed around as Lin Hao surfaced. Tonight’s discovery had truly surprised him. Based on what he had found, he could infer that the intelligent beings of the Cosmic Federation probably looked quite similar to humans, though their facial features resembled those of another distinct ethnic group, different from any on Earth.

“Moreover, these guys seemed to have been conducting some kind of biological research,” he thought, his brow furrowing as he recalled the ‘people’ in the glass containers.

Those ‘people’ seemed to be hybrids, created using advanced biological technology to combine mutant traits with those of a unique species.

Using his [Detection] ability, Lin Hao determined that these individuals had a combat power of around five thousand. A combat power of five thousand without any battle suit was an incredibly high number. No human on Earth could achieve that.

“What really happened on Earth in ancient times?” he pondered. “Could it be that humans were also created by these intelligent beings from the Cosmic Federation?”

Lin Hao couldn’t help but consider this possibility. After all, these beings had arrived on Earth at the dawn of human existence. Furthermore, according to the requirements for the Mythic Suit challenge found in the civilization ruins, humans possessed the qualifying DNA. This implied that human DNA was similar to that of the intelligent beings from the Cosmic Federation.

The more Lin Hao thought about it, the more he wanted to uncover the truth.

“When these intelligent beings from the Cosmic Federation finally arrive on Earth, the truth will be revealed,” he concluded. “For now, it’s still unclear.”

Thinking about it made his head hurt. There were still many mysteries, and he knew very little about the Behemoth Clan.

“That Five-Headed Dragon, I don’t know when it will wake up,” he thought.

The Five-Headed Dragon was bound to awaken eventually, as the system had already assigned the task—it was just a matter of time. The rewards for devouring that creature were substantial.

Looking around, Lin Hao noticed many mutant creatures sleeping nearby. Having devoured the level 7 crystal cores he had crushed, these small animals seemed to be digesting the energy in their sleep.

“War Eagle seems to be alright, its vitality is quite strong,” Lin Hao observed, looking at War Eagle lying on the ground. Though its injuries still looked severe, its wounds had stopped bleeding and its vital signs had stabilized. The energy from the level 7 crystal core was potent.

“There are still plenty of level 7 crystal cores left. It can continue eating them tomorrow,” Lin Hao mused. As long as War Eagle continued to consume and digest the energy from these crystal cores, its wounds would heal, and it would grow stronger. It might even evolve this time. Thanks to his divine ability, these mutant creatures could absorb and digest the crystal core energy quickly.

“You all should become stronger too,” he said, looking at the creatures. “When one gains the Dao, and even his chickens and dogs ascend. When I become stronger through dragon transformation, you will also leap through the dragon gate.”

Lin Hao took out some level 7 crystal cores from the bottom of the Hualong Pond, crushed them, and scattered the fragments in the pond. The colorful carp, each about three meters long, swiftly swam over and began devouring the crystal core fragments. Soon, the entire crystal core, shattered into many pieces, was consumed by the fish. They started to appear drowsy, as if drunk.

As Lin Hao’s level increased, the scope and intensity of his divine ability [Auspicious Guardian] also grew significantly. Tomorrow, when these creatures that had swallowed the crystal core fragments awakened, they would undergo noticeable changes.
