Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Fierce Battle at the Estuary

TL: Etude

“Are you seeing things? Where’s the white light?” A companion beside him laughed as he spoke.

“Could I have really imagined it?” He rubbed his eyes and noticed that the white light had indeed vanished.

“These koi in the Hualong Pond are quite large. They must be at least a meter long!” His companion, now focusing on the koi in the pond, was also astonished.

“Indeed. They are huge. Could these koi be transforming into dragons?” the young man joked.

“Well, it’s called the Hualong Pond. Maybe it really can turn them into true dragons.”

“……”

……

Splash!

Meanwhile, Lin Hao’s figure was teleported to the estuary area, where he could clearly hear the sound of rushing water all around.

“At the junction of fresh and saltwater.”

“Finally here!”

“I wonder if I can follow this path into the ocean!”

Thinking this, Lin Hao felt a bit excited.

“So many fish!”

Upon closer inspection, he could clearly see a large number of fish in the surrounding area.

Lin Hao’s eyes brightened slightly. Without any hesitation, he charged forward.

Opening his massive jaws, he began to devour the fish!

Despite his large size, his swimming speed remained fast, with exceptional acceleration.

He charged forward like an eight-cylinder turbo engine.

Devoured adult mullet, gained 100 evolution points.

Devoured…

……

With his frenzied devouring, the system notifications kept popping up.

There were indeed plenty of fish in this estuary area.

Especially the mullets, which were abundant in the brackish waters where fresh and saltwater meet.

The frenzied devouring was immensely satisfying!

Just then, a massive figure approached from a distance.

What is that!?

Amid his frenzied devouring, Lin Hao clearly sensed something. He quickly turned around and saw a gigantic fish right in front of him!

Its jaws opened wide, aiming to bite him!

“Looking for death.”

Seeing this, Lin Hao sneered.

Fire Scales!

In an instant, the thorns on his body burst into a dazzling blaze!

The moment the giant fish’s jaws clamped onto Lin Hao, blood splattered.

It quickly released its grip and retreated.

Its large, dark red eyes stared intently at Lin Hao.

“This thing is at least six meters long!”

“A mutated mullet.”

Seeing this, Lin Hao grew excited.

A mutated mullet, and such a large one at that!

Lin Hao wondered how many evolution points he could gain from it.

Without further thought, he moved his body and charged forward at an incredible speed!

Bubbling sounds—

The mutated mullet opened its mouth and expelled large bubbles.

What was this?

Seeing the bubbles, Lin Hao was momentarily stunned.

But there were too many of them, and he couldn’t avoid them all.

The moment the bubbles touched his body, they exploded!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful explosions pushed Lin Hao’s body back.

“Damn! What the hell is this!”

Thanks to his iron scales, his defense had increased significantly, so the explosions didn’t cause much harm. However, they did prevent him from getting close.

At this moment, black tentacles emerged from the water below!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In an instant, they wrapped around Lin Hao’s body, entangling him tightly!

“What is this!?”

Seeing his predicament, Lin Hao’s eyes changed.

He stared at the tentacles and realized they looked like octopus tentacles!

These tentacles were pitch black and extremely thick!

Once they wrapped around his body, he couldn’t move!

Looking down, he saw a pair of enormous blood-red eyes!

An octopus!

Beneath the water was a gigantic octopus!

There were two mutated creatures here!

What was even more surprising was that these two seemed to be cooperating against him!

“Looks like they have some intelligence.”

Lin Hao sneered internally and activated Fire Scales in an instant.

This ability lasted for twenty seconds, with a cooldown time of only fifteen seconds.

The cooldown period began after the twenty seconds elapsed, meaning there was a mandatory fifteen-second wait between uses.

But this time was sufficient!

Splash!

As Lin Hao’s body emitted a blinding light, the surrounding water began to boil.

The tentacles, although as hard as black iron and unaffected by his iron scales, couldn’t withstand the intense heat and quickly released him!

“Seeking death!”

Lin Hao temporarily ignored the mutated octopus and charged at the nearly six-meter-long mutated mullet!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mutated mullet continued to blow bubbles, blocking his path.

Lin Hao pushed through the bubbles, enduring the explosions without much harm, and charged forward!

Soon, he was right in front of the mutated mullet!

“Screw your bubbles!”

As the mullet opened its mouth to expel more bubbles, Lin Hao shouted internally and used the Crimson Flames ability!

Boom!

He opened his mouth and shot a crimson flame directly into the mullet’s mouth!

Instantly, its mouth was scorched black, and the intense pain caused it to thrash wildly!

Lin Hao didn’t stop. He charged forward and slashed at its body with his sharp claws!

His claws were incredibly sharp, leaving deep gashes in the mullet’s body with each strike!

His claws pierced through its body, and he took the opportunity to tear off chunks of flesh with his sharp teeth!

The surrounding seawater turned red.

The mullet’s massive size and heavy bleeding filled the water with blood.

The scent of blood might attract other creatures.

But Lin Hao wasn’t worried.

The more mutated creatures appeared, the more he could devour and the more evolution points he could gain!
