Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf!

TL: Etude

How to obtain more evolution points was his primary concern now!

Splash!

After Lin Hao devoured the surrounding mutated sea loaches, he swam forward, creating a flurry of splashing water. The members of HXLZ standing on the shore had their clothes drenched.

“Captain… Captain, it ran away!”

A man reacted, pointing at Lin Hao, who was charging toward the next area, his eyes wide open.

The others quickly grasped the situation upon hearing his words.

“The mutated sea loaches in the water must have been eaten by it,” Zhao Chengkong said, his gaze fixed on the water’s surface. He couldn’t help but voice his observation. He had clearly felt that the giant mutated creature underwater was frantically devouring something. Those things were undoubtedly the mutated sea loaches that had surged up due to the boiling water temperature!

With his eyes locked on the water’s surface, Zhao Chengkong held his battle knife and immediately leapt into the water.

“Captain!!!”

The onlookers gasped, their eyes widening in shock as Zhao Chengkong’s body plunged into the water, sending up a spray of water droplets.

Damn!

If there were still mutated sea loaches underwater, even their captain could be…

“The mutated sea loaches inside are gone!”

Zhao Chengkong soon surfaced, exclaiming excitedly. As he suspected, the mutated sea loaches had all been devoured in an instant! Not a single one was left! He quickly swam back to the riverbank.

“Captain, are you alright?!”

The group hurriedly gathered around him. These mutated sea loaches were terrifying; if attacked, they could burrow into the skin, consuming blood and flesh, leading to death!

“I’m fine. I told you, all those mutated sea loaches were devoured by that giant mutated creature.”

“The creature likely breathes fire.”

With this statement, the excitement on Zhao Chengkong’s face gave way to a serious expression. While the fact that the mutated sea loaches were gone was good news, the creature was overwhelmingly powerful. They were no match for it at the moment!

“Isn’t that extremely dangerous?!”

The other HXLZ members realized this as well, their expressions shifting. Though the sea loaches were gone, a far more formidable threat remained.

“Drive the tiger to devour the wolf. For now, we can only ignore it.”

Zhao Chengkong took a deep breath and spoke earnestly. Compared to the gigantic, fire-breathing creature, the sea loaches were the more immediate threat. It was best to let the creature devour all the mutated sea loaches. That would be the optimal outcome for them.

“The captain is right. Once the mutated sea loaches are eliminated, the creature will be easier to handle.” The others nodded in agreement.

After all, compared to the enormous number of mutated sea loaches, dealing with just one mutated creature was relatively easier.

“Let’s go check it out again!” Zhao Chengkong dashed forward without hesitation.

“Captain, wait for me!” The others quickly followed him, running toward the distant area.

“You guys stay here and wait!” They shouted to the police officers as they ran ahead.

“Alright.” The officers nodded slightly. Although they were unsure what Zhao Chengkong and his team were planning, they knew these professionals were the best at handling mutated creatures. Their job was simply to cooperate.

“Behave yourselves!” One police captain glared coldly at Du Zitong and his group.

“Officer, we were ignorant!” Du Zitong weakly replied, trying to sound out the captain. “There’s a saying, ‘Ignorance is innocence.’ We shouldn’t… go to jail, right?”

His face was pale. He never expected things to turn out like this!

“What do you think?” The police captain glanced at them dismissively, ignoring their pleas. Longyin City was on high alert, with all rivers off-limits, impacting the entire populace. Maintaining social order was a challenging task.

…

“Damn, these things reproduce so fast!” Lin Hao, upon reaching the front waters, saw a large number of mutated sea loaches swarming toward him like moths to a flame.

Fire Scales!

As they neared, the spiny scales on Lin Hao’s body emitted a brilliant flame, burning the approaching mutated creatures to a crisp. In no time, he devoured a large number of them. Some even attempted to rush into his mouth, seemingly trying to burrow into his stomach to devour his internal organs. But Lin Hao’s body structure was entirely different from other mutated creatures. His stomach could digest anything, and as the sea loaches entered, they were instantly dissolved.

The system notifications of gained evolution points kept coming. He charged from the upstream reservoir area to the downstream, devouring every mutated sea loach he encountered.

“Finally done. There shouldn’t be any more mutated creatures, right?” He looked around, seeing no trace of other mutated sea loaches.

“These creatures are truly terrifying, devouring all aquatic life in the reservoir,” Lin Hao thought, his eyes showing concern. The mutated sea loaches were highly invasive, consuming aquatic life rapidly and reproducing at an alarming rate.

“They must come from the ocean. Could many ocean areas be infested with these loaches?” The thought of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of mutated sea loaches gave him a sense of dread.

“However, they’re all evolution points…” Lin Hao couldn’t help but salivate. If the sea loaches in the ocean had the same combat power, their numbers wouldn’t be a problem for him. It was like evolution points delivered to his doorstep!

Just the thought made him excited. “I can’t wait to get to the ocean for real!”

As he pondered this, he heard footsteps approaching from nearby.
