Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Level Fifteen!

TL: Etude

The current situation was putting immense pressure on him.

Especially after learning so many bizarre things today, the impact on him was tremendous.

“Let’s see how many evolution points I got.”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hao focused his thoughts, and a system panel appeared in front of him.

Host: Lin Hao

Species: Fire Scale Black Carp

Level: 14

Body Length: 3.3 meters

Weight: 305 jin

Combat Power: 38

Skills: Camouflage, Fire Scale, Powerful Bite, Powerful Tail Slap, Iron Scales

Divine Ability: Auspicious Guardian lv4

Evolution Points: 11,854/10,000

“I actually got over ten thousand points; that’s not bad.”

Looking at the evolution points displayed on the system panel, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Given today’s situation, he initially thought he hadn’t consumed enough creatures. Surprisingly, he accumulated over ten thousand points.

That was decent enough.

“Right, it looks like I also completed a task.”

He noticed a golden icon at the top right corner of the system panel.

With a thought, he clicked on it, and a pop-up window appeared.

Normal Task: Devour 200 crayfish (200/200) (Reward: Enhanced Horn Sharpness)

It seemed he had just devoured enough crayfish.

Without hesitation, Lin Hao chose to claim the reward!

In that instant, he could clearly feel a slight aching sensation in his horn.

However, this feeling didn’t last long before it completely disappeared.

“I have no idea how much sharper it is now, and there’s no way to test it.”

He currently had no hands and there was no mirror here, so he couldn’t see the changes in his horn.

“Forget it, I’ll evolve first.”

Thinking of those two men earlier, he now felt a sense of urgency.

To become stronger!

He needed to become stronger at a faster pace!

After finding a safe area, he focused his thoughts. In an instant, ten thousand evolution points were deducted.

Within a short time, he fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, outside the Longyin Chemical Plant, two figures emerged from the river and stood on the riverbank.

“Big brother, where did that mutant creature suddenly disappear to?!”

The young man looked at the middle-aged man in battle armor standing on the bank and spoke.

The middle-aged man removed his helmet, his expression extremely grave.

“I don’t know. It was like it vanished into thin air.” The middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice.

Thinking of the scene he had just witnessed, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

In that instant, the mutant fish’s body had emitted a white light and then suddenly disappeared!

They searched the riverbed for a while but saw no trace of the mutant fish!

“It was like it got teleported away. Could this mutant creature have spatial teleportation abilities?” The young man couldn’t help but speak up.

This was too strange!

They had killed many mutant creatures before, some that spat fire, some that spat venom, but they had never seen one that could suddenly teleport away!

“Do you think that’s possible?! Nonsense!”

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but speak after hearing him.

A mutant creature with spatial teleportation abilities sounded too far-fetched.

But how else could they explain what they just saw?!

“Big brother, your armor is damaged!?”

At this moment, the young man noticed several breaks in the armor covering the middle-aged man’s arm.

“Damn it.”

Seeing this, the middle-aged man’s face grew even more grim, and he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

This battle armor was incredibly precious, acquired through considerable effort.

It had actually been bitten through by that mutant creature in several places!

The monster’s teeth were extremely sharp, and its bite force was impressive.

“Let’s get out of here; we can’t stay here any longer.” After taking a deep breath and calming himself down, the middle-aged man spoke.

“Okay.” The young man thought for a moment and then nodded slightly.

Before leaving, he glanced back at the river behind him.

What exactly was that fish?!

—

“Hey, do you guys know? The entire East Street area has been cordoned off recently.”

“It seems like something showed up there. I even saw a lot of people in black uniforms.”

“I heard it’s haunted!”

“Really? Don’t scare me!”

“Haunted, my ass! It’s a serial killer!”

…

Over the past few days, numerous discussion threads have been popping up on the local forums of Longyin City.

A certain area in Longyin City was cordoned off, and many people in black uniforms were seen around. Coupled with the occasional loud noises coming from there, many people speculated about what might be happening.

But this time, what struck many as strange was that the government hadn’t issued any notifications; they just directly cordoned off the area.

This only fueled people’s curiosity.

Soon, night fell, and Lin Hao, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes.

“Finally completed the evolution.”

Upon waking, his eyes were filled with delight.

This time, the evolution process took longer than previous ones!

Congratulations to the host for successfully leveling up to Level 15. You have received a blue treasure chest.

As soon as he woke up, he clearly heard the system’s notification.

“A treasure chest!”

“As expected, there’s a reward for reaching Level 15!”

Previously, he received a white treasure chest upon reaching Level 5 and a blue treasure chest upon reaching Level 10. By this logic, there should be a treasure chest reward every five levels.

Sure enough, this time was no exception!

“I’ll open the treasure chest later. Let’s check the system panel first!”

He clearly felt that his night vision had improved significantly!

In the darkness of the night, he could see everything around him as if it were daylight!

Moreover, his entire body’s strength seemed to have increased considerably!

He felt powerful!

With a thought, the upgraded system panel appeared before him.
