Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Super Charge

TL: Etude

Luo Xue looked at everyone and spoke.

“You’re really crazy…”

The middle-aged man also revealed a bitter smile at this moment.

The rest of the people felt a chill down their spines.

This was a virus!

If the concentration was too high, the impact on the body could be immense.

Those mutated creatures experienced drastic changes precisely because of the high concentration of the virus in their bodies.

Moreover, not all creatures could survive after being infected by the virus.

Some would die suddenly.

It was like a selection process.

“Luo Xue, quickly come over for testing!”

The middle-aged man in the white research coat exclaimed excitedly.

If the virus injected into the body didn’t cause sudden death, it meant the body could endure it!

But this was just the beginning; further observation was necessary!

“Okay.”

Luo Xue walked over to the laboratory.

She took some monitoring patches and applied them to her forehead, arms, and calves.

Now it was time to test the changes in her physical strength.

…

“It seems safe now.”

“Start evolving.”

As night fell, Lin Hao showed no signs of any abnormalities.

Feeling relieved, he hid behind a rock and chose to evolve directly!

After deducting ten thousand evolution points, he fell into a deep sleep.

This evolution process lasted for three hours.

After it ended, Lin Hao immediately proceeded with two more evolutions!

A total of thirty-three thousand evolution points were consumed.

He woke up from his evolution state around six in the morning.

“Comfortable.”

After shaking his body, Lin Hao felt an obvious sense of ease and comfort.

From the start of his task until now, he had evolved three times in a row!

He evolved directly from level fifteen to level eighteen!

He was now just two levels away from level twenty.

He vaguely sensed that reaching level twenty would bring him significantly different changes!

“The most noticeable feeling now is that my body has become much stronger.”

“This feeling is really awesome!”

After calming his excitement, he summoned the system panel with a thought.

Host: Lin Hao

Species: Single-Horned Fire Carp

Level: 18

Body Length: 4.4 meters

Weight: 666 jin

Combat Power: 66

Skills: Super Charge, Night Combat, Camouflage, Fire Scale, Powerful Bite, Powerful Tail Slap, Iron Scales

Divine Ability: Auspicious Guardian lv6

Evolution Points: 750/10,000

“4.4 meters long and 666 jin!”

“And the species has changed to Single-Horned Fire Carp!”

Looking at the changes on the system panel, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly.

Although he couldn’t see his horn, he vaguely felt it had become thicker and sharper!

“Combat power increased from forty-five to sixty-six.”

“The improvement isn’t that much.”

After some internal grumbling, he continued to read and noticed an additional skill:

Super Charge: Temporarily increases speed and impact force for a powerful charge. (Cooldown: one minute)

“Not bad.”

“With my horn, it should deal decent damage.”

Having this skill was pretty good, better than nothing.

Additionally, the level of Auspicious Guardian had also increased, though the skill description hadn’t changed much.

“Huh?”

“These carp seem to have grown quite a bit.”

Lin Hao glanced at the nearby carp with a look of surprise.

He distinctly remembered that these carp hadn’t been this long before. Now, several of them had reached about a meter in length!

“Not just the carp, but the plants and trees around the Hualong Pond seem to have grown more lush as well.”

After carefully observing the surroundings, he noticed that some trees had grown thicker.

This wasn’t an illusion.

“This is quite a change. Could it be because of the Auspicious Guardian ability?” Lin Hao pondered inwardly.

It was highly possible!

Early in the morning, he could hear the chirping of birds nearby.

After eight in the morning, people started to appear around the area.

“Now they’ve all gone to the Longyin Reservoir. I heard there’s a giant snake and some mysterious creature over there.”

“I knew it was special effects as soon as I saw the video. How could there be fire underwater?”

“Don’t be so sure. With all the weird things happening lately, not everything can be fake, right?”

“Of course, it’s fake. If it were real, the authorities would’ve taken it down already.”

“…”

There weren’t many visitors to the Dragon King Temple that day, but their conversations reached Lin Hao’s ears clearly.

“Longyin Reservoir? That must be the video that guy shot and uploaded online.” Lin Hao realized.

While he was devouring the mutated giant water snake, he noticed someone filming from the shore.

But he didn’t care; with the Hualong Pond so far from there, and having teleported back, those people wouldn’t find anything even if they searched.

“It seems the video went viral, and since it hasn’t been taken down by the authorities, people don’t believe it.”

Thinking about this, Lin Hao couldn’t help but laugh.

However, given the current situation, it was evident that mutated creatures were appearing more frequently. In this age of information explosion, some things couldn’t be hidden easily.

Soon, humanity worldwide would have to gradually accept the reality of mutated creatures!

Time quickly passed to noon, and with a thought, the map interface appeared before Lin Hao.

“The teleportation cooldown has reached three hours.”

Seeing the refreshed teleportation time on the map, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly.

Three hours would allow him to devour many more creatures!

“Although the map range has expanded considerably, the available teleportation spots are still within the Hanshui River, near the Longyin Chemical Plant, Longyin Reservoir, and a river within Longyin City.”

“Where should I go…” Lin Hao hesitated.

“Hahaha, I heard you came up empty-handed again yesterday?”

“You’d be better off fishing at the city riverbank; there are tilapia everywhere.”

“Get lost! Tilapia are so dirty, and you can’t eat them.”

“…”

As two men walked over from the stone bridge, they continued to tease each other.

“The carp in the Hualong Pond are pretty big, huh? They must be about a meter long!”

Their eyes quickly noticed the fish in the Hualong Pond, and their eyes showed surprise.

Tilapia?

Plenty of them?

Hidden at the bottom of the pond, Lin Hao caught this keyword and his eyes brightened slightly.

Devouring a full-grown tilapia would yield fifty evolution points!

He had no idea how many were in the city river, but from these two men’s conversation, there must be a lot!

“I haven’t been there yet, so let’s check it out first!”
