Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 425

Chapter 425: Devouring a Large Number of Mutant Cockroaches

TL: Etude

“ET!? How can there be ETs here!?”

On the other side, Hino Shuji and his companions widened their eyes in disbelief. They hadn’t expected to encounter ETs in this place.

The situation was utterly unbelievable.

“Even ETs have shown up. This time, we’re really doomed…”

The rest of the group trembled as they witnessed the scene. The terror of it all was overwhelming. They couldn’t handle the powerful mutant creatures already; now with the ETs arriving, their island nation was as good as finished.

“These bastards…” Luo Zhendong stood up, gripping his war blade tightly.

“Keep evolving. Otherwise, the hunting game will be too dull.” The ET’s voice echoed once more.

In the next moment, these ETs flew towards the distance. The three-headed marine iguana followed them, heading straight towards the ocean.

“What are they doing!?”

Seeing this, Blaze’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had anticipated a fierce battle, but who would have thought the mutant creatures would suddenly flee!?

Where were they heading?

“They’re taking the three-headed marine iguana with them!?”

Luo Zhendong was equally shocked at this sight. He couldn’t fathom what these ETs intended to do.

Without hesitation, Luo Zhendong immediately contacted headquarters.

“Mutant creatures have appeared in the sea area near the waste plant of our island nation, heading towards the ocean. ETs have also appeared… Deploy satellites for monitoring immediately!”

After contacting headquarters, Luo Zhendong promptly gave orders. Simultaneously, Blaze and the others reported the situation to their respective nations.

Why did they suddenly leave?

Where were these ETs taking the mutant creature?

Everyone’s minds were filled with incredulity.

“They let us go because we’re too weak, for now…”

After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhendong thought of the ET’s words, his expression turning grim. The statement was piercingly harsh but undeniably true.

Their current strength was indeed too weak.

…

[Devoured level 2 mutant cockroach, gained 12,000 evolution points]

[Devoured level 2 mutant cockroach, gained 13,000 evolution points]

[Devoured…]

At this moment, Lin Hao had arrived in Xingyao City!

The southern district of Xingyao City had fallen, overrun with mutant cockroaches everywhere.

Cockroaches, by nature, had strong reproductive capabilities and incredibly resilient lives.

“Their numbers are truly vast.”

Upon arriving, Lin Hao could clearly see the mutant cockroaches swarming all around. They didn’t seem to fear him at all.

“You’re really not afraid of me?”

Lin Hao opened his mouth and continued to devour the mutant cockroaches in large quantities. Within a short period, a slew of notifications about gaining evolution points appeared.

These creatures’ reproduction rates were too high. Given the current combat capabilities of humans, eliminating all these mutant cockroaches was indeed a challenging task.

“They taste awful.”

While devouring them, Lin Hao couldn’t help but complain. The taste of these mutant cockroaches was on par with that of invasive apple snails and pleco catfish—among the worst things he’d ever eaten.

However, to complete the task and gain evolution points, he couldn’t afford to be picky. He resolved to swallow them all.

“Huh?”

As Lin Hao continued to devour the mutant cockroaches, he quickly realized he had attracted the attention of even stronger mutant cockroaches. In the distance, several mutant cockroaches, each seven or eight meters long with sharp mandibles, were rushing towards him at incredible speed.

In no time, they were upon him.

Boom!

At that moment, powerful flames burst from Lin Hao’s body. The intense heat instantly incinerated the mutant cockroaches, turning them to charcoal.

“Level 3 and 4.”

“Their combat power is noticeably higher compared to level 2.”

Lin Hao commented as he continued to devour them.

Whoosh—

More and more mutant cockroaches began to swarm towards him frantically.

“Just a moment ago, they let me devour them quietly. Now they’re suddenly attacking me?”

Though surprised, Lin Hao didn’t stop his devouring. He continued his frenzied feast.

In a short period, a vast number of mutant cockroaches were swallowed. Among them was a giant level 5 mutant cockroach. However, even at level 5, it posed no threat to Lin Hao. His current strength completely overpowered these mutant creatures.

After devouring the level 5 mutant cockroach, Lin Hao had consumed all the mutant cockroaches in the vicinity.

“That’s it? A bit disappointing.”

Having finished devouring the mutant creatures, Lin Hao couldn’t help but lament. If the level 5 mutant cockroach hadn’t shown up with its entourage, it wouldn’t have been so easy to clear out the entire area.

“There should be no more left. Time to teleport to the ocean and continue devouring for more evolution points.”

With no more battles in sight, Lin Hao didn’t rush to claim his task rewards. He extended his powerful perception abilities and, confirming no more mutant cockroaches were around, teleported to another part of the sea.

“King crabs are located in the cold waters of the North Pacific, near the island nation’s sea… To complete this task, it seems likely I’ll need to go near the island nation. Compared to the North Pacific, the island nation’s sea is closer. I’ll go check it out.”

There was still a task to devour king crabs on his list. Although the reward was useless to him, leaving an incomplete task on the list was annoying. Besides, he hadn’t explored that sea area yet. If he encountered a large number of mutant creatures, he could gain a substantial amount of evolution points.

Though there were still about 180 days until the arrival of the Cosmic Federation’s creatures, time was tight. He needed to quickly advance to level 9, or even break through level 9.

…

“According to satellite monitoring, the three-headed marine iguana is heading… towards our country!”

“What!?” At the same time, Luo Zhendong received news from headquarters.
