Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Growing Teeth!

TL: Etude

Luo Yue gripped the photo tightly, her fingers clenching unconsciously.

Upon closer inspection, the golden light mass in the photo vaguely revealed the outline of wings.

“It looks just like an angel descending.” Old Zhang couldn’t help but comment.

Now, a special global alliance had been formed to share intelligence from various regions.

The events surrounding Lin Tian Ancient City had also shocked people abroad.

After analyzing the photo, some in other countries believed it to be the descent of an angel.

“Angel?”

“It’s just a monster.” Luo Xue replied coldly.

Her expression turned icy, her eyes fixed intently on the golden light mass.

Meanwhile, government personnel had poured large amounts of gasoline over the monster’s body.

“Team Leader Luo, is it enough to just burn it like this?” A government staff member asked Luo Xue.

They had never dealt with such a situation before, although they had heard of such things. Facing it in reality for the first time, they were still a bit scared.

“Pour the gasoline into its body.”

“I’ll do it.”

Luo Xue took a silver box from her car’s trunk.

The box was flat and rectangular.

Click—

After quickly inputting the password, the box opened.

Inside was a knife, gleaming brightly.

She carries weapons like this!?

Some staff members felt their scalps tingle at the sight.

Luo Xue quickly took the knife and approached the monster, making an incision on its back and pouring a bucket of gasoline inside.

“So… powerful.”

Everyone was stunned.

Initially, they thought of Luo Xue as just a beautiful woman. Her subsequent actions commanded respect, and now they were completely astonished.

“Light it up.”

After finishing, Luo Yue left the area.

Boom!

The monster’s body was soon engulfed in flames.

Late at night, the entire seaside was illuminated by the firelight.

…

“Almost there, just a few more.”

Lin Hao was desperately searching for the remaining black-shelled shrimp.

Although it was late at night and the shrimp were active, they were quick to hide in the crevices of nearby bricks and stones, making it hard for Lin Hao to catch them.

To make things more difficult, he had to rely on his senses and the moonlight to find the shrimp.

Fortunately, after a long effort, he finally devoured the last black-shelled shrimp he needed!

Swallowed adult black-shelled shrimp, gained 1 evolution point.

Normal task: Swallow 100 black-shelled shrimp (100/100) – Task completed.

The system notification came through!

Task completed!

In the next moment, a white box appeared in front of him and slowly opened.

Night Vision Enhanced

A white label appeared from the box.

“A white treasure chest? Does that mean I get a box that enhances my abilities every time I complete a task?”

“Maybe white is the lowest level? Are there higher levels?”

Lin Hao muttered to himself internally.

At that moment, a sharp pain pierced his eyes.

Gradually, his vision became clearer and brighter.

“Huh!?”

“This night vision ability is really good!”

As he looked around, Lin Hao was pleasantly surprised.

Congratulations to the host for achieving the title of Black-Shelled Shrimp Hunter (My goodness, you actually ate more than two hundred black-shelled shrimp!)

Congratulations to the host for earning an achievement reward: Normal Treasure Chest

The system notifications kept popping up.

“This is something! There are even achievements.”

Lin Hao’s eyes lit up at the system’s notification.

And now he had earned a normal treasure chest as a reward!

Do you want to open the treasure chest immediately?

“Yes!”

Lin Hao didn’t hesitate and chose to open it immediately.

He felt a strong sense of urgency, not knowing what the red glowing thing he saw tonight was, and it was in the same pond as him.

Although the Hualong Pond was vast, there was no guarantee that the creature wouldn’t find him.

Moreover, he had encountered Luo Xue today, and remembered the monster that had killed him. Everything seemed like an unsolved mystery waiting for him to unravel.

The only way forward was to become stronger!

Relying on the system’s power, he had to keep evolving and getting stronger!

As he returned to his senses, a virtual image of a treasure chest appeared before him. The white chest automatically opened.

Creak—

Lin Hao almost heard the sound effect of the chest opening.

Soon, many rotating labels appeared in the open chest:

Enhanced Strength, Enhanced Speed, Sturdy Fins, Bubble Ability…

Various labels spun quickly before gradually stopping.

Finally, it landed on a label:

Slightly Sharp Serrated Teeth

“Serrated teeth!?”

Seeing this label, Lin Hao was slightly stunned.

Could it mean… teeth?

Do you want to use it immediately?

The system prompt appeared again.

“Yes!”

Soon, Lin Hao felt a tingling sensation in his mouth.

It was as if something was sprouting!

“Damn!”

“I’m growing teeth!?”

Lin Hao was astonished.

Not long after, he felt his upper and lower jaws indeed growing teeth!

He instinctively ground his teeth and felt that they were triangular and serrated on both rows.

The only drawback was that they weren’t very sharp.

“Not bad, not bad!”

“Having teeth is a big help, haha.”

As he continued to try biting, Lin Hao was delighted.

Originally, he had teeth, but they were located in his pharynx, known as ‘pharyngeal teeth’ in biology.

But now, the teeth had grown at the entrance of his mouth, making him almost like a piranha!

This way, he could have some combat ability when facing other creatures!

At that moment, two beams of light shone from the front, illuminating the Hualong Pond.

Huh!?

Feeling the situation, Lin Hao quickly moved to another area.

The light seemed to be from flashlights.

“Hurry up and put it in, just release it into the Hualong Pond!”

A man’s voice came.

“This thing shouldn’t be released randomly, right?”

“What do you know? All living things have spirits, releasing them is an act of merit!”
