Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: A New Difficult Task

TL: Etude

That night, Lin Hao still hid beneath the Hualong Pond.

Although evolving four limbs excited him greatly, the thrill didn’t last long before he grew somewhat bored.

Concealed at the bottom of the Hualong Pond, his entire body blended into the mud thanks to his camouflage ability.

Unless someone looked closely right in front of him, it was impossible for anyone to notice him.

Soon, as the first light of dawn appeared in the sky, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.

“Huh?”

Hearing this, Lin Hao felt a bit curious.

So early in the morning, and someone was already coming over?

Could it be those people from the HXLZ again?

With a thought, his body swam upwards.

“Something major has happened. Down there, I heard it’s an alien base!”

“No way? I heard it’s an ancient tomb! There might even be some huge corpses inside!”

A few young men and women drove over early in the morning, discussing as they walked towards the Dragon King Temple.

It was clear they were a bit nervous.

They quickly walked up the stone bridge, continuing inward.

“Let’s just hope there won’t be any huge chasms appearing on our side!”

“Didn’t you see? The whole street over there cracked open, it’s terrifying.”

“This Dragon King Temple seems quite effective. Recently, people who came here said their luck improved significantly!”

As they crossed the stone bridge, they spoke quickly.

“The appearance of these civilization relics, it’s hard to keep it under wraps.”

“Saying it’s an alien base kind of fits too.”

Listening to their conversation, Lin Hao started to talk to himself in his mind.

“But they said their luck improved… It must be related to my divine ability, right?”

Lin Hao thought about his divine ability to increase fortune, which could also accelerate the evolution process.

The evolution effect probably didn’t have much impact on humans, but fortune definitely improved their luck.

Like that guy who released the cleaner fish here; staying nearby and his stocks rose.

As the sun rose, more and more people arrived.

“There are so many people.”

Watching the scene, Lin Hao’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Previously, although many people visited the Dragon King Temple, it wasn’t as crowded as now.

And many people were discussing the civilization relics over there.

Many believed it was an ancient tomb, while others thought it was some kind of alien base. Otherwise, why would the government evacuate everyone from that area?

“Seems like everyone is talking about that place. I wonder if the government and HXLZ can handle it properly this time.”

Hidden in the Hualong Pond, Lin Hao listened to their conversations and spoke quietly to himself.

“Have you heard? Something big happened in Longming City. They say monsters have appeared!”

“Monsters? You must have watched too much Ultraman.”

“It’s absolutely true! Do you think I’m joking with you?”

“……”

Besides news about the civilization relics, Lin Hao also overheard discussions about the situation in other cities.

“Longming City?”

Lin Hao thought carefully. Longming City was a second-tier city, just north of Longyin City, about four hundred kilometers away.

Something happened over there too?

And it involved a giant beast.

While he was intently trying to hear more about this, those people stopped discussing it.

This made Lin Hao a bit frustrated.

Why didn’t they talk more about it?

“It’s a pity. If only I could use a phone, I might find useful information on some small forums.”

He couldn’t help but sigh.

Time passed, and soon it was noon.

“Alright, I can teleport now.”

Lin Hao had been waiting for this moment. With a thought, the map interface appeared before him.

New Feature Activated

The host can freely teleport between different regions, but there is a one-hour cooldown period.

With the map appearing, a system prompt also popped up.

“I can teleport freely between regions?!”

“That means, after teleporting to one map, I can teleport again after an hour?!”

Seeing the system prompt, he got excited.

This feature was truly excellent!

Awesome!

Although the total teleportation time remained three hours, being able to teleport a second or even third time was very cool!

“Right, let’s see what new tasks have refreshed!”

Normal Tasks:
– Devour 500 tilapia: Reward – Enhanced Teeth Sharpness
– Devour 500 black shell shrimp: Reward – Enhanced Speed
– Devour 10 eels: Reward – Enhanced Reactions

Difficult Tasks:
– Devour 10 mutated creatures
– Devour a mutant T-Rex
– Devour a Level 1 Green Beast Warrior: Reward – Greatly Enhanced Cardiopulmonary Function

“Whoa, so many new tasks have refreshed?!”

Seeing these new tasks, Lin Hao was a bit surprised.

“Wait, mutant T-Rex?!”

Seeing one difficult task was to devour a mutant T-Rex, Lin Hao was taken aback.

He recalled hearing about a frozen T-Rex in the civilization relics in Longyin City.

“This mutant T-Rex, could it really wake up?! Can I even beat it?” Lin Hao felt a bit overwhelmed.

According to past information, an adult T-Rex had a body length of about 12 meters, a height of three to four meters, and could weigh up to seven tons!

That was outrageous!

And this was a mutant T-Rex!

“Damn, I need to evolve quickly.”

“If I really encounter such a mutant creature, it might be tough!”

Shaking his head, he didn’t think too much about it. He immediately used the system’s teleportation ability.

Longyin Reservoir!

In an instant, his body emitted white light and disappeared from the original spot.

The next moment, he arrived at the Longyin Reservoir!

“No way!”

“Wasn’t that giant snake supposed to be here?”

“Haha, I told you it was special effects. I’ve been here for days and haven’t seen any monsters in this reservoir!”

“……”

Just after teleporting, Lin Hao heard a cacophony of voices.

“Huh?”

…
