Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 406

Chapter 406: Five-Headed Dragon? All Killed by the Fire Flood Dragon!

TL: Etude

“Though three seconds might seem short, it’s actually quite impressive,” Lin Hao remarked. “Perhaps it can upgrade to a golden quality in the future, with an extended duration.”

Lin Hao felt a surge of excitement. The effect of the [Black Star Scale] had exceeded his expectations, making his harvest this time extraordinarily bountiful. His overall combat power was set to increase significantly.

“When I evolve again, even level 7 mutant creatures should be no match for me,” he thought. “Then I can explore the ruins below and see if I can devour the frozen Behemoth Clan members.”

Thinking this, Lin Hao felt a sense of anticipation. One of his tasks required him to devour a sufficient number of the Behemoth Clan to unlock a super experience treasure chest.

“Soon, very soon. At this rate, I’ll transform into a dragon in no time,” he mused.

Without dwelling on it further, Lin Hao checked his tablet and saw a message from Luo Xue. She was safe for now and unlikely to encounter any trouble.

“It should be fine,” he reassured himself. “I need to start my evolution now.”

After informing Luo Xue that he might be in a dormant state for a few days, Lin Hao descended to the bottom of the Hualong Pond. Finding a suitable spot, he immediately chose to evolve.

“Only 120 million evolution points? I have plenty of evolution points now. Evolve!”

With a thought, Lin Hao instantly deducted the evolution points. The large amount of evolution points he had acquired might even boost him to level sixty-five or so, significantly increasing his strength.

Soon, Lin Hao felt a wave of fatigue wash over him. In no time, he fell into a deep sleep. While in the state of evolution, his internal injuries began to heal slowly. With the influence of [Regeneration], what appeared to be severe injuries were actually not too serious.

…

“It’s safe to proceed,” Luo Xue said after reading Lin Hao’s message. She moved forward into the area ahead. The intense heat in front posed no threat to her, thanks to her protective battle suit.

“Follow her!” Zhang Tianyang and Zhang Tiansheng, momentarily stunned, quickly moved forward with Luo Xue.

Just moments ago, the area had been engulfed in flames, with fire erupting several meters high from the ground, obscuring the central region from view. Now, the golden flames had gradually dissipated, leaving only some nearby structures still burning.

The ground was riddled with cracks, and golden flames still flickered within these fissures. The surrounding space seemed slightly distorted by the intense heat. Without their battle suits, they wouldn’t have dared to step into this area.

“The Fire Flood Dragon… seems to be gone,” Luo Zhendong observed, peering into the front area but finding no sign of Lin Hao.

“How could such a large creature disappear?”

He scanned the surroundings but saw no trace of any living being. The ground around him was littered with the charred remains of Fanged Bats. However, the number of corpses seemed fewer compared to before, as most of them had been devoured by Lin Hao.

“It seems to have left,” Zhang Tianyang remarked, surprise evident in his eyes.

He had heard of the Fire Flood Dragon in Longyin City before, but tonight was his first time seeing it in action. Its power was overwhelming, yet fortunately, it appeared to be on their side. Though the reason was unclear, there was no need to ponder it now.

“These creatures must be extraterrestrial,” Zhang Tianyang continued. “Some haven’t been completely burned. We can take them back for research.”

As he walked forward, he glanced at the few intact corpses of the Fanged Bats and instructed his team to collect them.

“Yes, sir!”

The team nodded and began gathering the bodies that hadn’t been incinerated. Studying these creatures was crucial for future battles. If more ETs brought such terrifying beings, they needed to devise ways to combat them. The sheer number of these creatures made them a formidable threat, challenging to eliminate without using missiles, which wasn’t always a viable solution.

“You can all come over now!” Zhang Tiansheng called out to the HXLZ members who had retreated to a safer area to defend. Without his and Zhang Tianyang’s orders, they hadn’t approached even after the battle seemed to have ended.

“Yes, sir!”

Armed with laser guns, the team advanced, their eyes wide with shock as they surveyed the scene. The ground was riddled with cracks, from which golden flames still flickered. Just walking on the ground, they could feel the intense heat beneath their feet.

“They’re all dead…” Zhang Tianyang muttered to himself. What was expected to be a grueling battle had ended in victory, thanks to the Fire Flood Dragon’s intervention. Without it, they couldn’t predict how long the fight would have dragged on.

“I heard the Five-Headed Dragon awakened too?” Zhang Tianyang suddenly remembered, turning to Zhang Tiansheng.

“Yes, but it was killed by the Fire Flood Dragon,” Zhang Tiansheng nodded. The memory of the battle still left him in awe.

“It killed the Five-Headed Dragon too?” Zhang Tianyang gulped, as did the others nearby, their faces reflecting their disbelief. They had heard about the Five-Headed Dragon, a stone statue from the Behemoth Clan’s underground ruins, rumored to have the potential for resurrection.

No one expected it not only to awaken but also to be slain by the Fire Flood Dragon.

“Yes,” Zhang Tiansheng confirmed. “The stone statues in the underground ruins revived, but as they emerged, the Fire Flood Dragon detected them and engaged in battle…”
