Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Successful Devouring

TL: Etude

The mutated crawfish had a large body and very big eyes that emitted a red glow.

Its eyes were square-shaped compound eyes, seemingly unprotected and appeared to be a vulnerable area easy to attack.

Lin Hao moved too quickly. Before the mutated crawfish could react, his right claw struck directly at its eye!

Thud!

With a muffled sound, its right eye instantly burst, and a large amount of red liquid splattered out.

Gurgle, gurgle!

In that moment, the mutated crawfish seemed to feel immense pain and began to go berserk.

Its massive claws frantically clamped towards Lin Hao’s body!

Although Lin Hao’s reaction was fast, in this situation, his left limb was caught by the claw!

Not good!

Just as Lin Hao was about to break free, he felt a tremendous force surging in, making his entire left limb feel as if it were clamped by iron pincers.

Pain!

It hurt immensely!

Another massive claw also suddenly clamped towards his neck!

“Get off!” Lin Hao was now enraged.

A fierce flame burst out from his entire body.

Whoosh—

The surrounding river water instantly began to boil.

His tail swung violently, slapping away the claw that was coming at him!

In that instant, he opened his mouth and bit directly at the claw gripping his left limb with his sharp teeth!

The shell of this genuinely large mutated crawfish was much harder than the ordinary crawfish from before!

Crunch, crunch!

But Lin Hao’s bite force was extremely strong.

Combined with his sharp teeth, the shell on the claw cracked under the pressure within moments.

Visible cracks appeared on the claw.

Gurgle, gurgle!

The mutated crawfish kept blowing bubbles from its mouth. Just as the claw that had been slapped away tried to clamp again, Lin Hao bit down hard on the claw gripping his left limb… and crushed it!

Crunch, crunch!

He bit the claw into his mouth and swallowed it.

With his left limb freed, Lin Hao’s claws grabbed its other claw fiercely, and he bit down on it!

The mutated crawfish struggled madly, trying to bite Lin Hao’s body with its mouth, but in the state of the Fire Scales, Lin Hao’s body erupted with flames, preventing it from getting close.

The intense heat made the crawfish’s body feel extremely uncomfortable!

Its remaining giant claw flailed wildly, trying to shake off Lin Hao’s grip!

But Lin Hao didn’t give it a chance. His claws held on tightly, and his mouth, with its two rows of sharp teeth, bit down on its claw!

Crunch!

With a fierce bite, the claw’s shell cracked.

With continuous force, the entire claw shattered, revealing the flesh inside!

Biting!

Furiously biting!!!

Lin Hao now acted like a wild beast, relentlessly biting at the claw.

In a short time, the huge claw was swallowed into his stomach.

Without this pair of giant claws, it almost had no combat power left!

It wanted to escape!

But Lin Hao wouldn’t give it the chance. His claws grabbed its body forcefully.

He opened his mouth and bit down on its body!

Crunch, crunch!

Lin Hao’s teeth were incredibly sharp. As soon as he bit down, the shell on its body cracked and his teeth pierced through!

Gurgle, gurgle!

The mutated crawfish frantically spat out bubbles, its entire body beginning to shake wildly.

Struggling, desperately struggling!

But Lin Hao’s entire body pressed down on it, his sharp claws even piercing through its shell, holding its body tightly to prevent it from moving.

His teeth continued to bite furiously.

Crunch, crunch!

Accompanied by continuous crisp sounds, the mutated crawfish’s head was pried open.

The previously wildly struggling crawfish began to slowly become motionless.

Swallow!

Madly swallowing!

Lin Hao opened his mouth and bit down fiercely.

The mutated crawfish had a lot of meat, and it was pure white, tasting very delicious.

Although there seemed to be a bit of a metallic taste, it didn’t matter.

Lin Hao didn’t know how long he had been swallowing, but he finally devoured the entire giant mutated crawfish!

“My teeth are exhausted from biting.”

As he finished eating the last piece of crawfish meat, he couldn’t help but complain.

The size of this mutated crawfish was indeed enormous.

Devoured the mutated crawfish, gained 18,000 evolution points.

“18,000 evolution points!?”

“Not bad!”

Lin Hao looked at the system prompt, his eyes brightening slightly.

Previously, devouring that mutated water snake only gave him 10,000 evolution points. This time, the mutated crawfish actually gave 18,000!

Moreover, he had just devoured many juvenile mutated crawfish, gaining a large number of evolution points.

He should have also completed the task of devouring ten mutated creatures.

“Let’s see if there are any that slipped through.”

Now he had no time to look at the system panel; he needed to quickly gain more evolution points.

The evolution points required for evolution were increasing, so he needed to acquire more in a short period.

…

Time passed quickly, and night fell.

On a certain coast in Longyin City, a group of people stealthily set out to sea on a fishing boat under the cover of darkness.

“We don’t need to go too far; it should be in this direction.” Du Zitong pointed ahead while speaking.

The group nodded.

They had already prepared the bait.

The bait was mixed with some special liquid given by that man in the suit.

As they neared their destination, they began to throw the bait into the sea.

“Can we really catch those knife fish…” One of the men looked curious.

“Who knows, we’re just following instructions!” Du Zitong responded casually, his eyes fixed on the sea, illuminated only by the fishing boat’s lights.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the water in that area started bubbling violently!

Hearing the sound, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.

Moreover, the once dark sea surface now had streaks of golden light darting around!

This eerie scene left everyone wide-eyed.

Soon, it began to calm down again.

“Quick! Cast the net!” At that moment, Du Zitong shouted.

The others reacted quickly, casting the net!

Casting, retrieving the net, all in one go!

“Holy crap, we actually caught them!”

Seeing the many knife fish with faint golden light on their backs, they were completely stunned.
