Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Ten More Days

TL: Etude

Meanwhile, it was unclear what he was referring to.

Another giant beast had awakened!

This was unbelievable.

“The world is changing too fast.

“Maybe in a while, they’ll even revive that frozen Tyrannosaurus they mentioned.”

Just thinking about it made Lin Hao feel an even greater sense of urgency.

Before these mutated creatures appeared in greater numbers, he needed to elevate his strength to a higher level.

While there was still time, he decided to go ahead and take a look.

The two people on the stone bridge also began to walk in the other direction at this time.

Lin Hao continued to swim in the river.

“There are so many here!”

Around the corner, he saw many tilapia.

The number of tilapia in the city’s waterways was simply overwhelming.

By devouring juvenile tilapia, he gained 20 evolution points.

By devouring adult tilapia, he gained 50 evolution points.

Devour…

…

As Lin Hao continued his frenzied devouring, the system notifications kept coming.

Satisfying!

This relentless devouring brought forth a continuous stream of system notifications, giving him a great sense of satisfaction.

He had no idea how much time had passed. As a faint white light emanated from his body, his entire form became enveloped in this light and disappeared from sight.

“Back again.

“Unbelievably, I’ve been devouring for three hours already.”

Lin Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

“Let’s see how many evolution points I’ve accumulated.”

Host: Lin Hao

Species: Single-Horned Fire Carp

Level: 19

Body Length: 5 meters

Weight: 754 jin

Combat Power: 78

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

Divine Abilities: Auspicious Guardian Lv6

Evolution Points: 20,214/14,000

“Twenty thousand evolution points.”

“Not bad!”

Seeing this, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly.

The evolution points were pretty good, having increased by over ten thousand. Moreover, the task of devouring five hundred tilapia should be nearly complete.

With a thought, the task list appeared.

Normal Task: Devour 500 Tilapia – 475/500 (Reward: Enhanced Tooth Sharpness)

“Already devoured 475!?”

“So many already? Just a little more to reach five hundred. Looks like I’ll have to wait until next time.”

“For now, let’s choose to evolve.”

Taking a deep breath, he willed it, and fourteen thousand evolution points were immediately deducted.

He slowly began to drift into a state of sleep.

Level twenty!

When he woke up, he would be at level twenty!

…

“The headquarters can’t spare any personnel!?”

Meanwhile, beneath the civilization ruins, several high-ranking officials from Longyin City’s government, the Longyin Research Center, and members of the HXLZ had descended.

“Yes, Captain. A giant beast has appeared in Luoming City, and headquarters has dispatched a large number of personnel to support that area.”

“We’ll have to manage on our own for now,” said one of the men, sounding a bit frustrated.

“Yeah,” the middle-aged man nodded in agreement. “This place can hold out for, at most, ten days,” he said seriously, looking towards the adjacent area.

Ten days at most?

“Dinosaurs…” Some of the high-ranking officials from Longyin City looked around, their faces showing shock.

The scene before them was unbelievable, like something out of a movie.

“If we could take these back for research, that would be great…” someone from the Longyin Research Center couldn’t help but say.

Dinosaurs! Not just skeletons, but real dinosaurs frozen in ice! And judging by their appearance, they were Tyrannosaurus Rexes!

“No, if the ice breaks, they might wake up!” the middle-aged man quickly responded to the researcher’s words.

“Captain Zhao, are you saying these dinosaurs might wake up?” one of the government officials couldn’t help but ask.

Zhao Chengkong, the captain of this HXLZ operation team, nodded.

“Yes.

“These Tyrannosaurus Rexes are not ordinary Tyrannosaurus Rexes.

“Look at their eyes,” he said seriously.

Their eyes?

The others were momentarily stunned but then followed his gaze.

Upon closer inspection, they could clearly see the eyes of the Tyrannosaurus Rexes encased in the massive ice blocks.

Their eyes were blood-red and somewhat eerie.

“Infected with a virus,” one of the staff from the Longyin Research Center quickly realized.

They had been too shocked by the sight of the Tyrannosaurus Rexes to notice earlier, but now it was clear something was wrong.

“Yes,” Zhao Chengkong nodded. “Virus-infected creatures can undergo continuous evolution, and their lifespans increase with their strength. In these extremely low temperatures, they fall into a deep sleep. But once the temperature rises, their cells will become active again.”

As he spoke, he felt a chill run down his spine.

These creatures would definitely come back to life. And judging by the timeline, it wasn’t far off.

Crack!

A sharp sound suddenly echoed through the air.

What was that sound!?

Everyone’s pupils contracted at the noise.

As they looked around, they saw a crack forming on the surface of the massive ice block!

“It looks like the ice is starting to crack…” one of the men reacted quickly, staring wide-eyed at the sight.

“No, not yet,” Zhao Chengkong said seriously.

He had noticed the cracks forming on the ice block from the beginning, and new ones appeared periodically. But these were just surface cracks for now.

“According to my estimate, it will take at least ten days for the ice blocks to completely shatter.”

“Ten days… Can’t we just plant bombs here and blow them up as soon as they wake up?” a middle-aged man suggested, unable to contain himself.

If these enormous Tyrannosaurus Rexes really woke up and broke free, it would be a huge disaster for Longyin City!

These were mutated creatures, mutated Tyrannosaurus Rexes!

“No.

“Ordinary bombs probably won’t kill them, and if the bomb’s power is too great, it might trigger the self-destruct mechanism of the ruins and destroy everything inside!

“The entire Longyin City would be doomed!” Zhao Chengkong quickly responded, his expression becoming extremely grim.
