Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Who Ate It?

TL: Etude

Snap!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a police officer had already turned on a high-powered flashlight.

The entire area was instantly illuminated!

“Sure enough, someone came.”

Lin Hao, who was hiding in the Hualong Pond, poked his head out and looked into the distance, clearly seeing the white light reflected from that direction.

Someone had turned on a high-powered flashlight!

“The traces of the battle just now can’t be cleaned up, but they can’t possibly know it was me.”

Lin Hao murmured to himself internally.

When he returned, he deliberately went to areas where he wouldn’t leave footprints, making it impossible to track him through footprint traces.

No one should know that he was hiding in the Hualong Pond.

…

“Green blood.”

“Who did that ET fight with here!?”

Zhao Chengkong looked at the blood on the ground, his eyes filled with surprise.

The blood of these ETs was green and had a fishy smell, making it easy to distinguish.

What surprised him now was the large amount of blood, possibly fatal!

There were also pieces of shattered armor on the ground!

“Someone else!?”

At this moment, Zhao Chengkong suddenly looked around.

The police officer also shone the high-powered flashlight around, but didn’t see any human figures.

“What is this…!?”

Just then, Zhao Chengkong looked around his feet and could clearly see some organs.

“Large intestine.”

Among the weeds, a large intestine was emitting a foul odor.

“This is the ET’s large intestine.”

“Could it be, it was eaten!?” Zhao Chengkong couldn’t help but speak out as he observed the situation.

Eaten!?

The others also widened their eyes, feeling a chill down their spines.

Now, they felt increasingly baffled.

What on earth had just happened!?

“Search the area, be careful, there might be a mutated creature, a very strong one.” Zhao Chengkong said seriously.

Soon, everyone began a thorough search of the area.

There were many wild animals nearby, such as wild boars and deer…

But they found no traces of other creatures.

The nearby weeds and trees grew very densely, making their search difficult.

“Didn’t find anything.”

“Nothing here either.”

“Me neither…”

…

Soon, after searching a large area, everyone gathered again.

“Something must have happened just now.”

“This ET was very likely eaten by something, and this large intestine might have been left behind because it has a strong smell.”

Zhao Chengkong said seriously at this moment.

Listening to his analysis, everyone felt even more eerie.

This was an ET!

And it had just landed on Earth from a spaceship!

Who had attacked it? Who ate it?

No one could answer these mysteries at the moment.

“Captain, did it awaken some mutated creature, only to be eaten by that creature instead?” a young man couldn’t help but voice his thoughts.

He had never seen such a thing before. Usually, it was the ETs that awakened mutated creatures, not the other way around where an ET ended up dead right after landing.

And now, it seemed as though it had been eaten by some creature.

“Highly unlikely. It should have just landed not long ago.” Zhao Chengkong shook his head. “Moreover, I didn’t find its weapon.”

Saying this, his brows furrowed even deeper.

If a mutated creature had eaten it, they should have at least found the weapon. Could the creature have eaten the weapon too? Nonsense!

“If we can’t find anything, let’s not worry about it for now. Later, have someone take this spaceship back.

“This spaceship is the first one we’ve seen so intact. We should be able to research a lot from it.”

Zhao Chengkong took a deep breath, calming himself down before speaking earnestly.

There was a hint of excitement on his face. Previously, when ETs came to Earth, they would destroy their spaceships, leaving them with only wreckage to study.

Even with research, they couldn’t uncover much.

But this intact spaceship was different.

Maybe they could finally learn where these ETs came from!

“Hmm.”

Listening to Zhao Chengkong’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Soon after, some large transport vehicles arrived along with cranes. They lifted the spaceship onto the transport vehicles and headed directly to the Longyin Research Center.

During the transport process, Zhao Chengkong and his team watched their surroundings carefully, wary of any sudden appearance of mutated creatures.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

The spaceship was transported without incident.

Time quickly passed, and it was the next day.

Dragon Mountain was once again sealed off.

“What’s going on? Why do they keep sealing it off every now and then?”

“Is there some treasure here or something!”

“We want to go to the Dragon King Temple, how are we supposed to go if you seal it off?”

“…”

Early in the morning, there was a lot of noise from the road below.

Recently, many people had been visiting the Dragon King Temple, possibly because of Lin Hao’s divine abilities. Many felt their fortunes had slightly improved, making them believe in the temple’s efficacy and attracting more visitors.

“Report, report, still no findings in zone C.”

“Report, Captain, nothing in zone D either!”

“…”

Zhao Chengkong stood on a high point, looking at the increasing crowd below, frowning.

Previously, he hadn’t noticed so many people visiting the Dragon King Temple, but now the number had clearly increased.

Thinking a bit, he realized it might be because of the recent events. People were turning to incense and prayers for psychological comfort.

“Soon, everyone will know.” He sighed.

With the frequent occurrences of mutated creatures everywhere, it would soon be impossible to hide it any longer!

“Pack it up!”

After hearing that all search areas had found no trace of suspicious creatures, Zhao Chengkong decided to call it off.

He needed to consolidate all the events from the previous night and report them to headquarters.

This situation was too bizarre; he couldn’t make sense of it at all.

…

“Is Dragon Mountain sealed off again?”

Seeing no one heading to the Dragon King Temple, Lin Hao knew it must be because of last night’s incident that the entire mountain was sealed off again.

However, whatever clues they were searching for, they wouldn’t find anything.

After all, who would know that he had killed the extraterrestrial creature and was now hiding in the Hualong Pond?

“Right, I haven’t checked what task has been refreshed.”

Lin Hao seemed to remember something and, with a thought, the system panel appeared before his eyes.
