Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Strange Worm

TL: Etude

“Team Leader Luo, are you saying that this monster could explode like a whale explosion!?”

At this moment, they were staring at the monster’s corpse with a sense of dread.

The power of a whale explosion wasn’t small; it could cause casualties to those nearby.

If this monster exploded, the resulting force would be unimaginable!

“The explosion’s power would likely be more than thirty times that of a whale explosion,” she said calmly.

Thirty times more!?

They couldn’t even begin to imagine what that would look like.

Looking at the monster’s corpse was like staring at a massive ticking time bomb!

“Old Zhang, we can’t move this monster carelessly right now.”

“We need to open its abdominal cavity and drain the gas first, or it could explode at any moment,” Luo Xue said seriously.

“Alright.”

“I’ll have them bring the equipment over.”

The elder, referred to as Old Zhang, nodded slightly.

Although he knew about this method, dealing with a monster was different from handling whales.

The monster’s skin was much thicker, requiring special tools to puncture, and the process of extracting gas from its body needed a specialized technique.

Soon, another vehicle arrived.

Men in black uniforms started unloading boxes of special equipment from the car.

Luo Xue changed into a white protective suit, putting on a hat and goggles.

In her hand was a blade resembling a scalpel but twice as large, with a longer handle. The blade was made of an unknown material, silver-white in color, reflecting a cold gleam under the nearby lights.

“Find the area of the monster’s skin that is the thickest and has the least abdominal pressure, and use the H12 blade to make an incision.”

As she spoke, she examined the monster’s body.

“Usually, it’s on the right side of the abdominal cavity. We need to observe and use techniques like pressing to find the optimal spot for the incision.”

The people around her listened intently to her instructions.

This group was the latest recruits to HXLZ, now being guided and trained by Luo Xue.

“Here.”

Soon, Luo Xue found the spot and started cutting the skin with the blade.

It didn’t take long before she had made a small circular cut.

Luo Xue took a sharp-ended tube and inserted it directly into the cut!

Bang!

With a muffled sound, a large amount of blood mixed with gas started flowing through the tube, releasing the gas.

“Team Leader Luo… you’re amazing.”

The onlookers around her gazed at her with admiration.

Even the government personnel watching this scene breathed a sigh of relief.

This sudden appearance of a monster had really frightened them.

If not handled properly, it could have caused a major disaster.

“Could this monster’s mutation be due to countries dumping sewage into the sea?”

One of the staff members muttered while looking at the monster’s corpse.

The others nodded subconsciously.

The sudden appearance of such a strange monster was simply too unbelievable.

“Did this monster really die naturally and wash ashore here?”

Old Zhang also examined the monster’s body carefully.

Its size was enormous, and its claws were extremely sharp.

Its body didn’t seem to have suffered any fatal injuries.

“Hmm!?”

At this moment, Luo Xue noticed that the gas extraction tube seemed to be suddenly blocked!

Moreover, the entire tube started trembling violently.

“Everyone, back off!”

Seeing this, Luo Xue seemed to realize something and immediately shouted.

What’s happening!?

Her sudden shout startled everyone.

However, they weren’t foolish and quickly retreated to the back.

Luo Xue also stepped back to a safe distance.

The exhaust pipe kept shaking more and more.

Pop! Pop!

Soon, the tube emitted a series of crisp popping sounds.

It began to tremble and float!

What’s going on!?

Everyone was horrified at this sight.

Crack! Crack!

Luo Xue swiftly took a black gun out of a silver case and assembled it.

Bang!

With another loud, crisp explosion, the exhaust tube completely ruptured!

Golden, eel-like creatures shot out, glowing faintly.

These things looked like loaches but moved rapidly on the beach.

They continued to wriggle out of the broken exhaust pipe!

“What are those!?”

Seeing this, everyone shuddered, their hair standing on end!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Luo Xue, now holding the assembled submachine gun, immediately fired at them!

…

“What’s that noise!?”

In the Hualong Pond, Lin Hao also noticed the water trembling.

He clearly heard a splashing sound, as if something had entered the water and caused a splash.

In the dark night, it felt quite eerie.

Should he check it out?

He had no idea what was happening.

He stopped searching for black-shelled shrimp and cautiously swam toward the area where the sound had come from.

The Hualong Pond was large and circular, surrounding the Dragon God Temple in the center.

As he swam around the corner, he vaguely saw a blood-red light in the water ahead.

But soon, the red light disappeared.

What was that…?

Lin Hao felt a chill run through him.

The blood-red light he had just seen was definitely real!

“Being a fish feels dangerous too!”

He swam in the opposite direction, avoiding that area entirely.

No, he needed to evolve quickly.

His last evolution had only made him slightly bigger!

He resumed searching for small shrimp, devouring them in one gulp whenever he found any.

After some time, he had accumulated a hundred evolution points!

Ding! The host has met the conditions for evolution. Would you like to evolve now?

Yes or No

That familiar system prompt appeared again!

Lin Hao quickly found a place to hide. The red glow he had seen earlier made him very uneasy.

During the evolution process, he might lose consciousness for a while, so he needed a good hiding spot!

He hid behind a rock, blending in with the black mud and his own black body for camouflage.

“Good, this should be a safe spot.”

Calming his nerves, Lin Hao selected “Yes” from the evolution options.

Evolve!
