Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Loss of Control

TL: Etude

“Captain, what’s wrong?” A man from the rear, noticing that he had stopped, couldn’t help but ask.

“It might be down there.” The middle-aged man stared intently at the Hualong Pond below and spoke seriously.

Down there!?

“In this pool?”

Everyone’s eyes turned towards the pond.

“It really is possible!”

Looking at the Hualong Pond, their expressions grew solemn.

Now that the entire Dragon Mountain was surrounded, it was impossible for that monster to escape!

Besides, they had searched so many areas without finding any trace of the creature.

It was indeed possible it was hiding underwater.

“But these things aren’t good swimmers. If it’s at the bottom of the pool, it can’t stay there for long.”

“For now, let’s wait and see.”

The middle-aged man thought for a moment before speaking.

Quickly, under his arrangement, everyone took positions at various corners around the Hualong Pond, completely surrounding it.

“They really plan to search underwater?”

Seeing this, Lin Hao remained still.

However, he was now hiding in the area near the pond’s outlet. If discovered, he could escape immediately!

“Number Six, have you found anything over there?”

“Report, Captain, nothing found!”

“……”

At this moment, the middle-aged man pressed the communicator attached to his ear and began contacting his team members.

As he communicated, his eyes remained fixed on the Hualong Pond.

“Captain, should we go down and take a look?” A young man couldn’t help but speak up.

“No need. It needs oxygen just like us. And it isn’t wearing any gear. If it were really down there, it couldn’t stay long. Going underwater rashly is dangerous.” The middle-aged man spoke gravely.

They had previously dissected the bodies of these creatures and had a fairly comprehensive understanding of their habits and various characteristics.

“Understood.” The others nodded slightly.

Going underwater would significantly reduce their combat effectiveness.

If the monster really was down there, they could be attacked the moment they entered the water!

The group waited quietly for about half an hour.

However, there was no change in the Hualong Pond, nor was there any sign of the monster.

Only a few koi were swimming around.

Nothing?

The middle-aged man frowned.

Half an hour had passed. If the monster had really dived to the bottom, it would have suffocated by now.

After all, it needed oxygen to breathe through its lungs, much like humans.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

At this moment, the middle-aged man’s ear communicator suddenly vibrated, quickly transmitting a voice.

“Captain! Han Chi and Bao Chongliang have been attacked!”

“Zone E has been breached!”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s pupils contracted slightly.

“They’re in Zone E!” The middle-aged man shouted loudly to the others.

In an instant, everyone reacted and rushed directly to the other area!

“Did they escape?”

Lin Hao was stunned by the situation.

He had been contemplating how to respond if these people went underwater, but unexpectedly, they left.

“Something must have happened on the other side?” Lin Hao muttered to himself.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s still not safe to evolve.”

Even though he had enough Evolution Points, the current situation was too unsafe. If someone found him during the evolution process, he’d be doomed.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man and his team had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, designated as Zone E.

There, they could see many figures.

“What happened!?”

The middle-aged man and his team hurried down and saw several doctors stitching up the wounds of two men on the spot.

“We were attacked. There were two of them, and one was wearing the Type 3 Suit!” A young man gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as his wounds were disinfected and stitched up.

They had multiple cuts on their bodies, and their combat suits were torn.

“Type 3 Suit!?”

Hearing those words, his pupils contracted slightly.

“It’s them, indeed!”

The middle-aged man’s face turned extremely grim.

“Did they take the ET away?” He took a deep breath to calm himself before looking at them and asking.

“Not sure. When they attacked us, we didn’t see the ET.” The two young men shook their heads.

Because one of the attackers wore a Type 3 Suit, they couldn’t match him even when giving their all. If it weren’t for the others’ support, they would have been in big trouble.

“It’s possible they have more accomplices.”

“Continue to seal off Dragon Mountain and activate the Sky Eye system. Leaving Longyin City won’t be easy for those two.” The middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice.

—

Time quickly reached noon.

At this time, a large group of people started heading towards the Dragon King Temple nearby.

Lin Hao, who had been very cautious, naturally noticed this.

“They’re coming again, and there seem to be even more people this time.”

He remained near the outlet area, ready to escape at any moment.

“Huh!? Luo Xue is here too!?”

His eyesight was excellent, and he clearly saw Luo Xue walking at the front from a distance.

Luo Xue held a battle knife, which reflected a blinding cold light under the sun.

“We’ve searched the entire Dragon Mountain since last night and still haven’t found it.”

“It’s possible their people took the ET away.”

“……”

Everyone gathered here, including police, government officials, and HXLZ personnel.

They had conducted a thorough search of Dragon Mountain but still found nothing.

There was no sign of the monster.

“Did you search everywhere?” Luo Xue’s gaze swept around.

“Everywhere. If it wasn’t taken away, it’s most likely hiding beneath this pond.” The middle-aged man spoke gravely.

He was getting a headache.

He originally thought they would surely capture the monster this time, but despite deploying so many people, they still hadn’t found it!

“Hualong Pond?”

Luo Xue frowned slightly and walked forward with her long knife.

Standing by the riverbank, she looked down.

She could clearly see some koi swimming nearby.

“Not likely.” She quickly shook her head.

She had dissected more than one of these creatures.

They couldn’t hold their breath underwater for long.

They needed to breathe with their lungs, just like humans.

“Unless…”
