Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: The Escaping Mutant Octopus

TL: Etude

Lin Hao now completely resembled a ferocious giant beast.

With his mouth wide open, he continued devouring the mutant mullet frenziedly. The fish’s once struggling body had ceased moving.

It was evident that it was completely dead!

Devour!

Keep devouring!

Lin Hao tore chunks of meat from the mutant mullet with large bites and swallowed them continuously.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but the mutant mullet had been reduced to a massive skeleton.

Devoured the mutant mullet, gained 25,000 evolution points.

“Twenty-five thousand!”

“This one actually gave twenty-five thousand evolution points!?”

Lin Hao was shocked as he read the system notification.

He hadn’t expected to gain so many evolution points.

“These evolution points feel great, but I’ll skip the fish bones.”

The fish bones were sharp, particularly the mutant mullet’s bones, which were quite tough to chew. Lin Hao decided against eating the bones as well.

Moreover, he had other targets in mind now.

“I want to see where you think you can run.”

Lin Hao swam in another direction, searching for the mutant octopus that had just fled.

Although he had been busy devouring the mutant mullet, he had kept the mutant octopus in his peripheral vision.

“It should be this way!”

Following the direction it had fled, Lin Hao soon spotted the mutant octopus!

The creature was indeed massive, and its black tentacles were incredibly thick, like enormous, iron whips!

“Run, let’s see where you can run to!”

Upon spotting the mutant octopus, Lin Hao dashed forward, closing the distance!

The mutant octopus was enormous, and devouring it would certainly yield a substantial amount of evolution points!

“If I could find the young of these mutant creatures, the evolution points would be even more, just like the sea loaches.” Lin Hao muttered to himself.

After all, the offspring of these mutant creatures were numerous, and with their numbers, the accumulated evolution points would be even greater.

Without thinking much more, Lin Hao continued to rush forward.

This mutant octopus had to be eaten!

Whoosh!

Just as he was about to close in, a black tentacle shot out!

With incredible speed, it struck Lin Hao’s body directly!

Bang!

Lin Hao’s body shook, feeling as if he had been hit by a bullet. The powerful impact knocked him backward.

“Such strength!?”

Despite the protection of his thorny scales, he could vaguely feel a pain in the area where the tentacle had struck.

Moreover, the mutant octopus’s tentacles were incredibly tough; it wasn’t afraid of his thorny scales at all!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Seeing Lin Hao in pain, several more tentacles shot out at high speed!

“Hmph!”

Lin Hao’s expression changed, and his massive body began to dodge continuously.

Though he was already very fast, being underwater meant he couldn’t completely evade all the attacks.

Bang, bang, bang!

Quickly, several tentacles struck Lin Hao’s body again.

The impacts pushed him back.

It seemed that repeatedly hitting Lin Hao’s body had boosted the mutant octopus’s confidence. It abandoned its attempt to flee. Its entire body floated upward, and its tentacles began frantically attacking Lin Hao!

“You dare come at me again!”

However, this time, Lin Hao was ready and gave up on dodging.

He grabbed a black tentacle that shot towards him with both claws, opened his mouth, and bit down on it!

Hard!

The moment he bit down, this word flashed in Lin Hao’s mind.

The mutant octopus’s tentacles were too tough; his teeth couldn’t penetrate them right away!

Fire Scales!

Crimson Flames!

At this moment, the cooldown time for Fire Scale ended, and he activated the ability again. Flames burst out from his entire body.

He opened his mouth and sprayed crimson flames.

The tentacle he held began to turn red from the heat.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The octopus struggled wildly, trying to pull back its tentacle.

But Lin Hao wouldn’t give it the chance. His sharp teeth continued to bite down hard!

With the tentacle roasted by the flames, it wasn’t as tough as before. In a short time, Lin Hao bit through it and swallowed it!

“Great!”

Lin Hao realized that the mutant octopus was afraid of fire!

By roasting its tentacles, they wouldn’t be so tough and could be bitten through!

The mutant octopus, now missing a tentacle, went berserk. Its remaining tentacles wanted to attack Lin Hao but were wary of the flames on his body and didn’t dare come closer!

It turned and fled again!

“Running away again! What a coward!” Seeing this, Lin Hao sneered.

Without hesitation, he chased after it!

Bang!

Suddenly, a large amount of black ink appeared in the surrounding area, greatly obstructing Lin Hao’s vision!

“It should be this way!”

Lin Hao’s sense of direction was good. He picked a direction and dashed through it.

After a while, he emerged from the inky cloud.

“Gone!?”

But as he looked around, the mutant octopus was nowhere to be seen!

“Where did it go?”

Lin Hao swam forward, searching, but he couldn’t find the mutant octopus.

It was as if it had vanished!

“Did it escape?”

Lin Hao felt a bit frustrated. He had bitten off one of its tentacles. If the fight had continued, he might have devoured the entire mutant octopus!

What a pity.

After swimming a bit further, he didn’t encounter any other creatures.

Instead, he saw many bones on the seabed.

There were many fish bones.

Had they been eaten by the mutant octopus just now, or…?

As Lin Hao pondered, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.

This feeling made him very uneasy!

What is it!?

Feeling the danger, he quickly turned to look behind him.

Squinting, he saw a massive black silhouette!

What was that!?

The creature’s body was enormous, at least twenty meters long!

Even Lin Hao, with his current size, seemed small in front of this creature!
