Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Ten Thousand Evolution Points

TL: Etude

Although Lin Hao spoke harshly, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.

This monster was simply too terrifying.

Fortunately, it was injured and still underwater.

Watching its body sink, Lin Hao hesitated only briefly before swimming over.

He remained highly vigilant, fearing the monster might not be completely dead.

As he swam to its side and carefully observed, he finally relaxed.

It was indeed dead.

“This monster should also provide evolution points if eaten, right?”

After a brief hesitation, Lin Hao opened his mouth and began tearing into the monster’s body!

Bite!

Lin Hao’s teeth were now very sharp. It seemed that after the monster’s death, its body had become less resilient.

It was now relatively easy to tear apart its flesh.

“This is awful, like eating rubber.”

While devouring it, Lin Hao couldn’t help but voice his thoughts.

Soon, he finished eating the monster’s body, including the arm he had bitten off earlier.

“Devoured a low-level warrior green beast, gained 10,000 evolution points.”

The system prompt quickly appeared.

“Ten thousand evolution points!”

Seeing the system prompt, Lin Hao was pleasantly surprised.

He didn’t expect to gain ten thousand evolution points!

“Warrior green beast? What is that?”

Looking closely at the system prompt, Lin Hao felt puzzled.

This warrior green beast must refer to this monster.

And it was a low-level one.

Does this mean there are intermediate and advanced levels as well?

Hiss!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

It seemed that even more powerful monsters might appear!

“Low-level warrior…”

“It doesn’t look like an Earth creature, does it?”

“Is it really an alien?”

Lin Hao became increasingly uneasy.

He needed to evolve quickly, preferably growing limbs; otherwise, moving around was really too troublesome!

He had just gained ten thousand evolution points, enough for an upgrade, but he didn’t dare to upgrade now.

After all, choosing to upgrade would put him into a state of dormancy.

If those two people returned and found him underwater, it would be a big problem.

“This knife, better bury it.”

Looking at the knife sinking nearby, Lin Hao opened his mouth, bit the handle, and then placed it at the bottom of the pool, completely covering it with mud.

Next, he swam towards the outlet at the back of the pond.

The outlet downstream wasn’t big and was blocked by a net, seemingly to prevent carp from swimming out.

The outlet was narrow and flowed diagonally downward. Once down, it would be difficult to come back up.

But Lin Hao couldn’t worry about that now. If his presence was discovered, he would have to break through the net and swim away.

Otherwise, if found by government officials or people from the research center, they might capture and dissect him!

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

Although not much time had passed since he evolved to this extent, the sudden changes were overwhelming!

……

Time ticked by, and it was now evident that the sky was showing a hint of dawn.

A group of people approached the vicinity of the Hualong Pond.

“Someone’s coming!”

Always attentive to his surroundings, Lin Hao quickly noticed.

His body was now hidden behind a black rock. Thanks to his camouflage ability, his entire form blended perfectly with the rock, making anyone who didn’t get up close think it was just a stone.

His eyes peered through the pool’s surface, looking into the distance, where he could clearly see several armed policemen and a few men in black combat uniforms.

These men each held a sharp-looking combat knife that reflected a cold glint.

These knives again!

Were these blades forged by themselves, or obtained from those low-level warrior green beasts?

“The material of these blades is very strange, extremely sharp.” Lin Hao murmured to himself.

He remembered clearly how, despite the water resistance, a single slash from one of these blades had cracked his Black Iron Scales.

Ridiculous.

“The entire Dragon Mountain is surrounded by us now. We’ve searched almost every place, yet we still haven’t found that monster.”

A middle-aged man holding a long knife spoke up.

“Could it be that their people took the monster away?” Another person suggested seriously.

As soon as he spoke, the faces of those around him became grave.

“Let’s check if it’s here.”

The middle-aged man glanced towards the Dragon King Temple.

The other policemen, holding their pistols, began moving forward step by step, surrounding the entire area of the Dragon King Temple.

Although they had been searching all night and were very tired, the possibility of the monster being here kept everyone on high alert.

The middle-aged man and a few others, holding long knives, started walking over the stone bridge towards the temple.

Their muscles were tense, and they gripped their knives tightly.

The Dragon King Temple wasn’t large. After entering, they looked around but found no trace of any creature.

“Nothing!?” One young man, while relieved, also felt a bit frustrated.

If it wasn’t here, then where could it be?

“Captain…”

They all looked towards the middle-aged man.

“It’s indeed not here.” After another careful scan, he confirmed there was nothing.

“Let’s go.” He walked out.

Seeing them come out, the policemen outside also relaxed a bit.

“No findings?” One of the policemen couldn’t help but ask.

“No, it’s not here.” The middle-aged man shook his head.

“Strange, we should have searched all of Dragon Mountain. Could it have flown away?”

The young man beside him spoke up.

This time, people from the research center, along with the police and government officials, had surrounded the entire Dragon Mountain.

Logically, the monster should have no way to escape.

But why hadn’t they found it?

“Keep searching. Check if the people down the mountain have found anything.” The middle-aged man frowned.

The situation was strange. How could they not find it?

Could it have already fled?

Impossible, it was injured. How could it escape?

His gaze shifted to the Hualong Pond and suddenly stopped.
