Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Nightfall

TL: Etude

The so-called Dragon Mountain referred to the expansive range of peaks where the Dragon King Temple was located.

These mountain peaks had peculiar shapes, which from a distance, resembled dragons in various postures.

Coupled with the presence of the Dragon King Temple, this place was aptly named Dragon Mountain.

“We must not let it escape.”

At this moment, Luo Xue was pressing the accelerator to the floor, speeding off into the distance!

It wasn’t just her; many other vehicles were heading towards Dragon Mountain as well!

This capture operation was of utmost importance to the entire Longyin City government!

If it escaped again, it would be a major problem!

“Surround Dragon Mountain completely!”

“Don’t let it escape!”

“……”

……

“Why does it sound like there’s an explosion over there?”

Lin Hao emerged from the Hualong Pond, his gaze directed towards the distant commotion.

However, he couldn’t see anything clearly.

“The effects of this night vision are truly remarkable, I can see as clearly as if it were daytime.”

Lin Hao continued to survey his surroundings, sighing in admiration.

“Hmm?”

“It dares to come for a drink.”

As he scanned the area, he spotted another wild boar not far away!

This wild boar appeared even more robust than the one he had eaten earlier!

Its pair of tusks looked particularly sharp.

Whether due to the influence of his divine abilities or not, Lin Hao noticed that the small animals appearing around Hualong Pond seemed slightly larger.

He wondered if it was just an illusion.

However, he didn’t dwell on it and instead sank back into the pond, slowly approaching his target.

His movements were slow, and under the cover of night, his entirely black body made it impossible for the drinking wild boar to detect the approaching danger.

Just as he was about to reach the boar, Lin Hao tensed his entire body!

Charge!

In an instant, he erupted with an immense and terrifying force, shooting out of the water like a bolt!

The wild boar instinctively tried to run, but the force of Lin Hao’s strike was too overwhelming and swift!

His sharp horn pierced the boar’s eye!

Bang!

The eyeball burst, and the horn drove deep into the eye socket.

At the same time, Lin Hao’s jaws clamped onto its head!

His now terrifyingly sharp teeth crushed the boar’s skull!

The boar only struggled for a moment before falling silent.

Shaking his head to free his horn, Lin Hao opened his mouth and dragged the boar into the pond.

Boom!

With a thought, his body began to emit flames.

Sizzle!

The surrounding water started to bubble as if it were boiling.

Several koi hurriedly swam away to escape to the other side of the pond.

Thanks to the effect of his Fire Scale, the boar’s fur quickly burned off.

Lin Hao furiously tore into the boar, devouring its flesh.

“Not bad, wild boar meat is delicious.”

As he ate, Lin Hao couldn’t help but remark.

In a short time, he had consumed all the wild boar meat.

Crunch, crunch——

At that moment, Lin Hao noticed that the boar’s bones were surprisingly easy to chew.

And it tasted quite good, especially the bone marrow inside.

His teeth had evolved, making it easy to bite through bones!

Swallowing the wild boar, he gained 600 evolution points.

“Six hundred evolution points!”

Seeing the system prompt, Lin Hao’s eyes slightly brightened.

This surprised him a bit.

He remembered that the last time he devoured a wild boar, he only gained 350 evolution points.

“It must be because this wild boar is larger. And this time I even ate the bones.” Lin Hao murmured to himself.

However, six hundred evolution points were still not enough for him.

Too little.

It would be better to eat a bunch of fish!

“If I could get to the sea, wouldn’t I be able to get even more evolution points? Leveling up several times a day wouldn’t be a problem at all.”

With a thought, he brought up the system panel to take a look.

On the system panel’s map, besides the previous Hanshui River and the river near Longyin Chemical Plant, the range had now expanded to include a river within Longyin City and the Longyin Reservoir.

“Not bad.”

“Two new areas.”

He had only noticed the expansion earlier without paying attention to the specific areas.

Now, upon closer inspection, he found that there were two new areas to which he could teleport.

“The river within Longyin City probably doesn’t have many fish, right?”

“And if I get discovered there, it would be troublesome. The Longyin Reservoir seems to be a popular fishing spot.” Lin Hao muttered to himself.

During his time in the Hualong Pond, he had learned a lot from the conversations of the people who came to worship at the temple.

He had heard more than once about people going to fish at Longyin Reservoir.

It seemed there were plenty of fish there.

Tap, tap, tap!

Just as he was deciding where to teleport to the next day, he could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps approaching.

Hmm!?

Someone’s coming!?

With his enhanced hearing, Lin Hao instantly became aware of the approaching footsteps.

He immediately hid nearby, remaining motionless, blending perfectly with the night.

“Damn it!”

“We just got word that the HXLZ people and the police are all coming over.”

“They’re going to surround the entire Dragon Mountain!”

This voice sounded familiar…

Hearing the voice, Lin Hao murmured quietly.

Soon, two figures appeared.

One was a young man in black combat gear, and the other was dressed in black armor, with a helmet covering his head.

It’s them!

With his night vision ability, he could see clearly in the dark!

Those two were the same ones he had encountered earlier today!

He hadn’t expected them to show up here!

What are they doing!?

Lin Hao remained still, quietly observing them.

“That ET ran off somewhere. Keep looking. If we can’t find it, we’ll retreat for now.” The middle-aged man in armor spoke in a low voice. “We’re still at a disadvantage against the HXLZ people, and my armor was damaged quite a bit by that damn monster fish.”

His tone clearly carried a sense of resentment.
