Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Scared to Death

TL: Etude

“There’s more!”

Lin Hao’s vision remained sharp underwater. As he glanced around, he quickly spotted another eel that seemed to be burrowing into the nearby mud. He lunged forward, his sharp claws reaching out. The mud was instantly torn apart, and the eel’s body was dug out along with it. He opened his mouth and devoured it whole.

Devoured an eel, gained 150 evolution points

The system prompt echoed in his mind.

Three eels! He had devoured three eels in total!

He chuckled to himself. Seven more and he could complete the task. As he continued to search for more creatures to devour, he also kept an eye on the system’s tasks. Completing these tasks could significantly increase his evolution points. With this thought, excitement gleamed in his eyes.

“It seems… it seems to be just ahead!”

“Holy crap! It’s huge! It’s so huge!”

“Oh my goodness, what on earth is that thing…?”

The people who had been chasing after him now peered at the water surface ahead, catching a glimpse of a massive black shadow. Just seeing it was enough to leave them in awe.

“This thing must be several meters long…”

A man stood there, dumbfounded. He had never seen such a large creature before, especially not in a freshwater reservoir. If it had been in the sea, he wouldn’t have been so shocked.

“Holy crap! Although it’s not very clear, there’s definitely a black shadow there!”

“Streamer, get closer and check it out! What exactly is that?”

“Could it be someone playing a prank underwater?”

“Idiot, show me how you’d prank like that! It’s obviously a monster!”

Some streamers aimed their cameras towards the area, capturing the faint outline of the huge shadow. The comment sections of their live streams exploded with messages.

“Brothers, I told you, Big B would lead us to find this monster, didn’t I?”

The man who called himself Big B was thrilled as he watched the flood of comments and received numerous gifts.

“Thanks, Brother Niu, for the rocket! Thanks, Brother Zhang, for the rocket…”

As he expressed his gratitude, he cautiously moved forward. There really was a monster! Saying he wasn’t nervous would be a lie. What if the monster suddenly charged onto the shore and ate him? But with the live stream’s popularity skyrocketing and so many gifts coming in, there was no way he could back down now!

Taking a deep breath, he picked up a small stone from the ground and carefully advanced. Those who had initially hesitated to move forward now quickly followed, seeing Big B’s actions. They were also live streaming! Their viewer count was climbing, and gifts were pouring in!

Keep going! Keep filming!

“A decree?!”

“Holy crap!”

As Big B continued to move forward, he noticed someone sending a ‘decree’ gift in the live chat!

A single rocket was worth a thousand, while a decree was worth ten thousand!

“Thank you, Big Brother Niu, for the decree!!!” He lowered his voice, speaking excitedly.

“I’m going to make this monster show itself right now, for Big Brother Niu to see!”

Big B was ecstatic. He hadn’t expected anyone to send a decree! Sneaking closer, he continued to approach, holding the stone in his hand, which he then hurled forward.

Splash!

The stone plunged into the water, causing a ripple, but the monster’s body seemed to quiver before it started moving away. They had no idea that Lin Hao was currently feasting on the fish underwater. The small stone hadn’t even come close to hitting him.

“Don’t run!”

Big B saw the shadow moving forward and grew anxious, quickly chasing after it. His live stream’s popularity was still climbing, and the gifts kept coming!

“Stop right there!!!”

As he ran, he picked up a large stone from nearby and hurled it into the water.

Splash!

A massive splash erupted, sending water flying everywhere.

“Are you crazy?! If that monster charges up here, we’re screwed!”

Those following behind him were startled. They hadn’t expected Big B to be so reckless, throwing stones at the monster’s shadow!

“Are you all stupid? How could a water monster come ashore?”

“I want it to show itself! If you don’t dare, Big B does!”

He was now completely fired up, continuing to throw stones into the water.

Splash!

Another splash erupted.

“See that!”

“I’m not afraid of any monster!”

Big B laughed loudly. Standing on the shore, he continued to film downwards with his phone, yet nothing seemed to surface.

“Could it be that the monster is really scared…”

The others, seeing the water surface still calm, began to relax.

Bloop, bloop—

But just then, a few bubbles appeared on the surface.

Splash!

In an instant, a massive splash erupted as a gigantic figure leapt out. Before Big B could react, he saw a huge, gaping mouth filled with rows of sharp teeth right in front of him! His eyes widened in terror, his body paralyzed with fear.

Crash!

The next moment, his selfie stick and phone were bitten in half. The massive figure then plunged back into the water.

“Monster… monster!!!”

“Ah!!!”

The people behind him were completely terrified! They had just seen a huge black shadow fly out of the water, a mouth filled with rows of sharp teeth!

It was horrifying!

“Mom… Mom!”

Big B’s legs gave out, and he fell to the ground, crying in fear. His pants were wet. The recent scene had been utterly terrifying, as if it was about to bite him in half!

“Haha, still dare to throw stones?”

Underwater, Lin Hao coldly laughed at the terrified Big B. Ignoring him, he swam forward. The most important thing now was to find a few more eels to devour! Since this area had yielded three eels, there might be more.

“But this phone is a bit hard to swallow,” Lin Hao muttered to himself as he swam. The phone had instantly dissolved in his stomach without any sensation.

Little did he know, the recent incident had caused an uproar online!

There was a monster in Longyin Reservoir!!!
