Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: The Giant Mutant Crab

TL: Etude

A colossal creature almost twice his size!

Its entire body was pitch black, blending with the surrounding murky water, making it impossible to discern what it was at first.

Bubbles gurgled up from what seemed to be its mouth.

The next moment, a massive pincer could be clearly seen clamping directly towards Lin Hao!

“What is this thing… a crab?!”

As it moved, Lin Hao finally saw its outline clearly!

This thing was nothing but an ultra-giant crab!

Swoosh!

Seeing its enormous pincer coming at him, Lin Hao, with his quick reflexes, dodged it in an instant.

After its attack failed, the giant mutant crab’s huge body lunged forward again, its pair of enormous pincers madly snapping at him.

Despite its large size, its speed was unbelievably fast!

Moreover, this mutant crab didn’t walk sideways; it could move up, down, left, and right!

Gurgle gurgle!

After its continuous attacks were evaded, the giant mutant crab seemed to get angry.

Its compound eyes began to glow red.

At the same time, its entire shell turned blood-red, emitting a scarlet flame!

Splash!

In that instant, the surrounding seawater started to boil.

In just a short time, the temperature of the nearby seawater soared to dozens or even hundreds of degrees Celsius!

Even its shell became intensely crimson!

It had an ability similar to Fire Scales!

Seeing this, Lin Hao was immediately shocked. The temperature emitted by this flame was extremely high!

Even someone like him, who had fire resistance, felt terrified.

Warning! Warning!

The opponent’s combat power far exceeds the host’s!

At this moment, the system’s warning appeared!

Combat power… far higher than mine!?

Seeing the system prompt, Lin Hao was astonished.

Run first!

Without any hesitation, Lin Hao frantically swam towards another direction!

Boom boom…

The mutant giant crab continued its relentless pursuit, smashing huge rocks on the seabed with its long, sharp crab legs as it charged!

“Damn! It’s still chasing me!”

While swimming forward like mad, Lin Hao glanced back and clearly saw the enormous crab still chasing him at an incredible speed.

This damned thing was too fast!

Lin Hao dared not relax for a second, continuing to swim even faster towards the distance!

After an unknown amount of time, when he finally stopped and looked back, he noticed that the giant mutant crab was no longer in sight.

“Is it not chasing me anymore…?”

Seeing this, Lin Hao let out a sigh of relief.

“The speed of that giant mutant crab is really fast, and its combat power is way higher than mine.”

At this moment, Lin Hao couldn’t help but speak to himself internally.

According to the system prompt, this guy’s combat power was far superior to his own!

“Sure enough, the number of mutant creatures in the ocean has increased, and they are very dangerous.”

“But the ocean also has many creatures, presenting both dangers and opportunities.”

The more mutant creatures he devoured after entering the ocean, the more evolution points he gained!

To become stronger now, he could only continuously obtain more evolution points and keep evolving!

“Let’s go and see.”

Lin Hao took a deep breath and immediately rushed toward the distant area.

“This area is out of the teleportation range. Forced return.”

Just as Lin Hao was about to enter the area ahead, the system prompt appeared again!

“What?”

Lin Hao was bewildered, and before he could react, his entire body transformed into a white light and vanished from the spot.

The next moment, his figure appeared in the Hualong Pond.

“Teleported back!?”

Lin Hao was a bit speechless.

“Does this mean that any area I teleport to, as long as it’s outside the already lit-up system map area, will force me to teleport back?”

After carefully examining the system map, Lin Hao found it a bit amusing and frustrating.

He had not expected such a result.

“Forget it, I won’t go there for now.”

After a brief thought, Lin Hao decided to abandon the idea of teleporting over there.

The range of activities he could engage in was limited, and any area outside the system’s teleportation range would just teleport him back if he went there.

“But this is good too. In the future, if I encounter any strong creatures that I can’t defeat, I can just run out of the lit-up system map area and be directly teleported back!”

Thinking this way, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly, as if he had discovered a special escape loophole.

“Where to go now…”

“Longyin Reservoir!”

Soon, Lin Hao remembered that he hadn’t yet visited the Longyin Reservoir.

Given the previous situations, the Longyin Reservoir must also have many mutant sea loaches!

With this in mind, he didn’t hesitate for a moment. With a thought, he initiated the teleportation!

The next moment, his body was directly teleported to the Longyin Reservoir!

Upon arrival, he could clearly feel numerous black shadows rushing towards him at high speed!

“Sure enough, it’s the same!”

“These mutant sea loaches have appeared in various rivers.”

Seeing the mutant sea loaches, Lin Hao’s expression turned serious.

There were just too many of these creatures!

If an ordinary person encountered them, they would surely be bitten to death.

“If these mutant sea loaches enter the tap water system through the river…”

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Hao’s expression became even more severe.

Without any hesitation, he summoned intense flames from his body.

All the mutant sea loaches biting his body were scorched by the flames.

Lin Hao then turned around and swallowed all the burnt mutant sea loaches!

“Devoured juvenile mutant sea loach, gained 350 evolution points.”

“Devoured…”

…

The system prompts kept coming.

In a short time, all the nearby mutant sea loaches were completely devoured.

“There should be more ahead.”

After devouring the mutant sea loaches, Lin Hao continued to swim further.

…

“You guys even released a lot of these mutant sea loaches here!?”

“This is a reservoir!”

At that moment, Du Zitong and the other two were brought here by the police.

The three of them had silver handcuffs on their wrists, their faces pale.

Though they had fled Longyin City that night, they couldn’t escape far. They were caught in a neighboring city not long ago!

“It was them! They made us do it!” Du Zitong stammered.

…
