Wujiang, 7:30 pm.

Chen Hu came down from upstairs holding the box containing the tiger beetle and shouted to Zhang Xiaolan who was watching TV in the living room: "Mom, I'm going to go for a walk."

Because of the good public security, Zhang Xiaolan did not worry about his safety, but just warned: "Don't go too far, you know."

"I know."

"Wait a minute, what are you doing with your brother's pet bug when you go for a walk?" Zhang Xiaolan looked at the box he was holding curiously.

"Oh, brother called me this afternoon and asked me to take it out and release it." Chen Hu blinked.

There was nothing he could do. His brother's request to tie him up with a rope and throw him into the water was too ridiculous. He told Zhang Xiaolan that he might be considered as deliberately causing trouble, but it would be better to let him go.

"Your brother called you."

Zhang Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then asked with concern: "Did he say how he was doing there? Was he injured? Is he eating well?"

"I heard that Koluoya is very backward. Even the signal is intermittent. There are frequent power outages in some places..."

"Ahem! Mom, brother, he's fine and doing well." Chen Hu interrupted quickly.

Then, before Zhang Xiaolan could speak, he ran out: "Mom, I'm going out first."

It's almost December now, the weather is getting colder, and there are fewer people walking out at night. There are only a few old people walking with their children on the roadside along the river.

According to Chen Chu's request, Chen Hu went to the bridge by the river, took out a rope and tied the box containing the tiger beetle, with a small stone tied to one end.

After testing the weight, Chen Hu suddenly threw the stone and the box together.

Snapped! The water splashed everywhere, and the stone quickly sank into the water, while the box with several small holes in the front floated on the water, fixed in the water by the stone.

"Is this okay?" Looking at the box floating in the water, Chen Hu was a little unsure. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Due to the time difference, it was around the latter half of the night at Roya.

Chen Chu, who hadn't slept all night, clicked to answer the phone when it rang.

"Brother, I threw the tiger beetle into the river."

"Well, I understand, you can go back."

While Chen Chu was talking, a three-meter-long black mutant beast lay quietly under the water under the bridge, looking up slightly at Chen Hu by the river.

"Oh, then I'm going back."

Since Chen Chu said there was no problem, Chen Hu hung up the phone and left.

After Chen Hu left for almost ten minutes, it was already 8:30 in the evening. The water was rolling under the dim bridge, and a huge black head poked out of the water.

The sides are half a meter long and covered with spikes. The three pairs of feathered horns, as red as blood, flare upwards, making the heavily armored beast look inexplicably majestic.

Bang! The heavily armored beast swallowed the tiger beetle and the box in one gulp, and then disappeared on the river.

Half an hour later, the black mutant beast arrived at the intersection of the tributary and the river, and returned to the hole on the shore where it had dug to hide.

Of course, the current nest cannot accommodate it now. The heavily armored beast stretched out its claws, and the river water in this area suddenly became turbid.

Soon, a cave entrance was dug under the river surface, the passage was five meters deep, and a huge cave six meters long and wide inside was dug.

It was only then that the heavily armored beast came to the middle and lay down, chewing into pieces the wooden box that had been in its mouth for a long time.

At the same time, Chen Chu's voice sounded "evolution" in his mind when he came to the rooftop of the hotel.

boom!

Chen Chu's voice was like pressing a button. Tens of thousands of kilometers away, a blazing torrent erupted from the body of the heavily armored beast like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

The evolutionary energy accumulated this time was far more than the previous two times. The muscles, bones, and even the outer armor of the heavily armored beast were decomposing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yes, from the cellular level to decomposition, reorganization, division, compression, the density becomes more terrifying.

The originally stable genes also began to reorganize, optimize, and evolve in a direction more suitable for themselves after absorbing part of the factors representing the speed of the tiger beetle.

At the same time, a blazing energy appeared out of thin air in Chen Chu's body, exploding like a bomb, rolling up a billowing heat wave that swept through his body.

Wherever he passed, his already strong physical strength soared at a terrifying speed, doubling, doubling, fivefold...

As his physique grew and the density of his muscles and bones became stronger and stronger, Chen Chu's body became filled with a heavier and heavier aura.

This evolution took longer than the last time, taking almost two hours to complete.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sun was rising in the east. The golden sunlight shone on Chen Chu's face, and his facial features were like jade carvings, exuding a gleaming luster.

Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, his black and white eyes revealed a touch of gold, his eyes were cold, and there was a faint sense of nobility and holiness in his eyes.

But this vision was only fleeting.

Chen Chu moved his body a little and could clearly feel that as his physique strengthened and the cell density increased, his body became very heavy.

His skin becomes tougher, his muscle fibers are more explosive, and his bones are harder than alloy and can carry greater strength.

"This improvement is a bit exaggerated." In surprise, Chen Chu called up the attribute page with a thought.

Realm: Third Heaven

Physique: 285+

Strength: 306+

Agility: 247+

Spirit: 241+

Talent: Soul Splitting+

Kung Fu: Lotus Platform Meditation, Dragon Elephant Kung Fu + [Third Level] Mind Eyes Bright Sword + [Third Level]

Attribute points: 3

Equipment: Ordinary armor [Strongness +10]

Split body: Hexagonal Sword Armored Beast

Level: Intermediate mutant beast [A mutated ferocious beast with three powerful talents, it is the king among strange beasts of the same level and has extremely strong combat power]

Talent: Strength + [Hundred Times Power Explosion] Defense + [Hundred Times Heavy Pressure Defense]

Swiftness + [Special body structure and elastic muscles of the joints of the limbs, which can burst out thirty times the movement speed in an instant, and the effect in the water is weakened to a certain extent]

Evolution value: 0/3000

In this evolution, Chen Chu's four major attributes have been increased by 100 points as a whole. The overall increase in all aspects is very scary.

At this time, he felt that even if he didn't use his true power to possess him, ordinary bullets at the terrifying density would not be able to penetrate his skin, and the increase in power was even more terrifying.

Zhizhi! !

Chen Chu's palms grasped the huge water tank shelf on the rooftop and pulled slightly, causing the metal shelf weighing more than ten tons to squeak and deform.

Feeling the terrifying power erupting from his arm muscles, Chen Chu let go of his palms with satisfaction: "Just with pure arm strength, I have now exceeded four thousand kilograms."

As the physical attribute reaches the later stage, each point of improvement becomes stronger than before. Just like now, the difference between two hundred points of strength and three hundred points has almost doubled.

After a brief test of the nearly doubled strength, Chen Chu's attention fell on the clone data below.

The name changed to Hexagonal Sword Armored Beast, a mid-level mutant beast. This level classification is different from the human classification of mutant beasts.

Chen Chu felt that the current sword-armored beast's level among mutant beasts should be around the early stage of level four.

Combined with the previous low-level, the attribute page should divide mutant beasts into three levels: low-level, intermediate, and high-level, corresponding to nine levels.

Of course, although the level is at the early stage of level four, the remarks of the Mutated Beast King later indicate that the evolved sword-armored beast's combat power far exceeds its own level.

Looking past the information, Chen Chu focused on the third talent, 'Swift'.

Accumulate strength and instantly burst into thirty times the movement speed. Chen Chu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the talent he obtained this time was not a hundredfold increase.

Chen Chu thought thoughtfully: "It seems that even with talent, speed is affected by air resistance and gravity."

The strength talent comes from the strong muscle fibers and hard bones of the whole body, and the defense comes from the hard outer bone armor with a special structure throughout the body, both of which belong to the physical category.

But the speed is different.

Although the evolved speed talent mainly comes from being able to store power and having terrifying joint elasticity and strong muscles, it will be affected by the outside world after it explodes.

In other words, because this talent comes from the physical body, it is still limited by physical rules.

If evolution awakens similar rules, or the speed talent of extraordinary power should be able to ignore the rules of physics.

After carefully reading all the data, Chen Chu suddenly came to the Sword Armored Beast.

In the dark cave, a pair of black vertical pupils with gold in them slowly opened. Due to the light, Chen Chu could not see the changes in appearance clearly, so he exerted slight force on his limbs.

boom!

The slope of the river bank exploded with a bang, and dozens of tons of soil were thrown away like a missile bombing. The river water splashed everywhere, the earth shook, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, a mutant beast with a dark body appeared by the river.

After this evolution, the sword-armored beast's figure became much more coordinated and stronger, its body length changed from three meters to four meters, but the extra length was its tail.

The tail, which was originally shorter than the body, now occupies almost half of the body length, and the tail becomes slender as it goes back, giving people a sense of flexibility.

Especially at the end of the tail, a ten centimeter-long black bone spur sprouted, resembling the head of a spear and the tip of a sword.

The body surface is still covered with layers of armor-like outer armor, which exudes a metallic luster in the pitch black, but is not as thick as before, but the defense is not reduced.

At the same time, the limbs have become more slender and stronger, and the muscles of the back body and hind legs are thicker than the front. It seems that it can stand up with a little effort.

At the same time, the row of obtuse angles on the back also became narrow and sharp, extending from the back of the head to the tail, like black swords more than ten centimeters long.

In addition, the head became more three-dimensional and thick, with protruding eye bones and sharp black bone armor on the edges of the upper and lower jaws, like a dragon's head.

The three pairs of red feather horns on both sides are as bright as blood, shining with a faint red light like jade. The pale golden vertical pupils have cold eyes, exuding inexplicable majesty.

At this moment, the sword-armored beast exuded a ferocious and ferocious aura, like a terrifying beast that was born solely for killing.

Roar! The sword-armored beast opened its mouth slightly and let out a low growl that sounded like a tiger but not a tiger. The voice was deep and deep.

boom!

The soil exploded, and four large craters appeared on the ground. Under the terrifying force of the shock, the sword-armored beast instantly turned into an afterimage and disappeared in place.

boom! The water on the river exploded hundreds of meters away, and tons of river water rose into the sky like a fountain. It did not slowly fall until it reached more than ten meters.

Under the river, the sword-armored beast was like a black shadow swimming away at an alarming speed.

Many fish were swallowed up by the ferocious mouth before they could react, leaving only a tail or half a head floating in the water.

From the mouth of the sea to the river mouth where the tributaries merge, it is a distance of more than 100 kilometers. It took a long time for the heavy armored beast to come back, but it only took more than half an hour to get out after evolving into the sword armored beast.

This is equivalent to a speed of about 150 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the fastest fish in the ocean.

Of course, this comparison is before the mutation. After the mutation, the speed of many fish in the ocean has become very terrifying, such as the swordfish we encountered earlier.

This evolution not only gained the talent of swiftness, but also made the sword-armored beast more agile and capable, without the bulkiness of the heavy-armored beast form.

Bang! At the junction of salt water and fresh water, a black shadow tore through the waves and rushed into the sea.

Although the body shape has not changed much, the sword-armored beast is not as afraid of the ocean at this time, and its body is like a black shadow rushing towards the deep sea outside.

Because only deeper waters can breed more powerful mutant fish.

It wants to devour those stronger mutant fish, so that it can have more energy for its growth and accumulate more evolutionary values ​​to prepare for its fourth evolution.

Just when the sword-armored beast swam more than twenty kilometers in the ocean and reached a water depth of more than fifty meters.

A blurry black shadow ten meters long, like a python, appeared in front of it. Suddenly the sword-armored beast's eyes turned cold, and the terrifying power in its body exploded.

Bang! The water behind him exploded, and the sword-armored beast shot out like a black arrow. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the black shadow in the distance, its claws sticking out.

Puff puff puff! !

With terrifying speed and sharp claws, the head of the mutated eel that looked like a python, with a hideous head and a body covered with yellow scales was instantly torn apart.

Bang bang bang! !

Just like a real python, the mutated eel with its head torn apart was still alive. Its body as thick as a bucket twisted wildly in the sea, and blood spurted out.

Just in the blink of an eye, the seawater around ten meters was dyed red with blood, exuding a strong bloody smell.

When the mutant eel's body stopped struggling, the dark and ferocious sword-armored beast slowly swam over.

It grabbed the eel's body with its claws and swallowed it like spicy strips. The rich blood and meat residue spilled out from between its sharp teeth and floated in the sea water.

But at this moment, none of the small fish and shrimps that swam up after smelling the blood dared to approach.

Although they have no intelligence, they have biological instincts. At this time, they instinctively feel that there is a terrifying and ferocious aura in front of them, and they dare not step forward.

With a click, the mutated eel, which was ten meters long and weighed only one ton, was eaten up by the sword-armored beast in a short time.

Under the waves of biological energy transformed after food, the sword-armored beast's body grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, making it appear more powerful.

And the evolution value is directly increased by 1 point.

It doesn't seem like much, but the problem is that the sword-armored beast just swallowed an ordinary mutant moray eel casually. If you eat it at this rate, it will add up to dozens of points a day.

At this time, the sword-armored beast swung its tail slightly, came to the bottom of the sea, and grabbed the mutant eel's bucket-sized fish head with one claw.

But instead of eating it, it crushed it with a click.

"No." The sword-armored beast rummaged through the broken eel head residue and found no life crystal.

The sword-armored beast only needs the flesh and blood of creatures to be converted into energy to accumulate evolution points.

Therefore, Chen Chu always wanted to test whether the sword-armored beast gained more energy by swallowing the crystal, or whether it was more cost-effective for him to convert the life crystal into attribute points.

It was just bad luck or something, but none of the ordinary mutated fish hunted by the heavily armored beast in the river had life crystals.

However, compared to the ordinary mutant fish in the river, the endless ocean breeds more mutant beasts, stronger ones, and there are even many giant beasts that are over a hundred meters in size and hundreds of meters tall.

Those places have generally become deep sea restricted areas, and human ships dare not approach them at all.

Even if an aircraft carrier brings a battle formation and a real warrior passes by, there is a risk of being completely destroyed, because the ocean is the home of those deep-sea monsters.

The sword-armored beast threw away the wreckage it caught, and its ferocious figure swam away to find the next target.

The conditions for the life crystal are extremely harsh, and the creature needs to be at the peak evolutionary stage before it can be born, so the sword-armored beast is not very disappointed.

It's not a big deal. If you continue to kill, you will always find crystals from a certain mutated fish.

It was indeed an ocean rich in resources. Before the sword-armored beast swam a few kilometers, a huge black shadow appeared in its eyes.

After evolving several times, the sword-armored beast's eyesight is very sharp. With the help of the faint light of the moonlight falling on the sea, it discovered the food in advance.

It was a fat mutant fish that was nine meters long, covered with brown scales, and more than two meters wide at its widest point, like a bus.

The slightly open mouth has four sharp upper and lower canine teeth, which is very powerful.

Compared to the slender mutant eel, this mutant fish is much stronger, so the sword-armored beast slows down and approaches from behind with its tail swinging slowly.

But the mutated fat fish was very sharp, and it reacted when the sword-armored beast was more than ten meters closer to it. It suddenly turned back, and a gray power exploded from its body.

boom!

In an instant, the mutated fat fish covered in gray power was like a heavily armored tank. It exploded into the sea water at a short distance and crashed into the sword-armored beast at a terrifying speed.

The sudden burst of speed from the mutant fish's bulky body surprised even the sword-armored beast. It couldn't help but drop its hind legs to the ground and stretch out its claws.

boom! Dozens of tons of violent water flow exploded, flying away the surrounding sediment within a dozen meters, and the shock wave of turbid seawater rushed far away before calming down.

However, the body of the sword-armored beast, which seemed to be several times smaller, remained motionless. The muscles of its hind limbs swelled and sank into the seabed, firmly blocking the huge mutated fat fish in front of it.

This result made the mutated fat fish, which relied on its natural ability to accelerate and impact in a short distance and kill each of its prey, a little confused.

However, it was not confused by the sword-armored beast. It blocked the impact of the mutated fat fish and the muscles of its claws swelled, and it suddenly tore apart with an explosion of terrifying power.

puff! The gray power on the body of the mutated fat fish was directly torn open by the claws, followed by its ten centimeter thick scales and flesh, revealing the white skull underneath.

Bang! Under the severe pain, water spurted out from the mutated fat fish's mouth. Its huge mouth opened angrily and it shook its head to bite the sword-armored beast on the side...

Poof! At this time, a black shadow penetrated the sea water, soaring out at a speed that almost reached subsonic speed. The black light pierced the head of the mutated fat fish in a flash.

Surprisingly, it is the sword tail behind the sword armor beast that also has the ability to charge.

Looking at the dead mutated fish, the sword-armored beast's cold light golden vertical pupils showed no signs of fluctuation, and its tail was pulled out of the fish's head with a little force.

At this moment, the sword-armored beast standing on the bottom of the sea with its hind legs and holding the mutated fish in its claws looked like a humanoid monster. Its long and sharp tail swayed slightly in the seawater, looking extremely ferocious.

However, it didn't care whether it was a ferocious sword-armored beast or not. It was thinking that eating such a large mutated fish should provide four or five evolutionary points, right?
