Wujiang, 7:30 pm.

Chen Hu came downstairs holding the box of tiger beetles and shouted to Zhang Xiaolan who was watching TV in the living room, "Mom, I'm going out for a walk."

Because of the good public security, Zhang Xiaolan did not worry about his safety. She just reminded him: "Don't go too far, okay?"

"I know."

"Wait, you went out for a walk, what were you doing with your brother's pet bugs?" Zhang Xiaolan looked at the box he was holding in surprise.

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

There was no other way. His brother's request for him to tie the fish up with a rope and throw it into the water was too ridiculous. If he told Zhang Xiaolan, she might think he was causing trouble on purpose. It would be better to say he was releasing the fish into the water.

"Your brother called you."

Zhang Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then asked with concern: "Did he tell me how he was doing over there? Was he injured? Did he eat well?"

"I heard that Koroya is very backward, even the signal is sometimes available, and some places often have power outages..."

"Hey! Mom, my brother is fine and doing well." Chen Hu interrupted quickly.

Then, without waiting for Zhang Xiaolan to speak, he ran out: "Mom, I'm going out first."

It was almost December and the weather was getting cooler. There were fewer people going out at night. There were only a few elderly people taking their children for a walk along the road along the river.

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

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

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

"Is this ok?" Looking at the box floating in the water, Chen Hu was a little uncertain. After thinking for a while, he took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Because of the time difference, it was late at night in Koroya.

Chen Chu, who hadn't slept all night, answered the call as soon as it rang.

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

"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."

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

"Oh, I'll go back then."

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

After Chen Hu had been gone for about ten minutes, it was already half past eight in the evening. The water was rolling under the dim bridge, and a huge black head poked out of the water.

The two sides are half a meter long and covered with spikes, and the three pairs of blood-red horns are flaring upwards, making the heavy armored beast look inexplicably majestic.

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

Half an hour later, the black mutant beast came to the confluence of the tributary and the main river, and returned to the cave on the shore where it had dug to hide.

Of course, the current nest is definitely not able to accommodate it now. The heavy armored beast stretched out its claws, and the river water in this area suddenly became turbid and turbid.

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

Only then did the heavy armored beast come to the middle and lie down, biting the wooden box that it had held in its mouth for a long time into pieces.

At the same time, Chen Chu, who came to the rooftop of the hotel, heard the voice of "evolution" in his mind.

boom!

Chen Chu's voice was like pressing a button. Even at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, a torrent of heat erupted from the heavily armored beast's body like a tsunami.

The evolutionary energy accumulated this time was far greater than the previous two times. Wherever it passed, the muscles, bones, and even exoskeleton armor of the heavy armored beasts were decomposing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

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

After absorbing some of the factors representing speed from the tiger beetle, the originally stable genes began to reorganize and optimize, evolving in a direction that was more suitable for themselves.

At the same time, a burst of hot energy appeared out of nowhere in Chen Chu's body and exploded like a bomb, sweeping over his entire body with a rolling heat wave.

Wherever he passed, his already strong physique increased in strength at a terrifying rate, one, two, five times...

As his physique grew and his muscles and bones became denser and denser, an increasingly heavy aura emanated from Chen Chu.

This evolution took longer than the last one, and was completed after almost two hours.

By this time, the sky was already bright, the sun was rising in the east, and the golden sunlight was shining on Chen Chu's face. His facial features exuded a bright luster like jade carvings.

Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes. His black and white pupils were tinged with a hint of gold. His gaze was cold, yet there was a hint of dignity and holiness in it.

However, this vision only flashed by.

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

His skin became tougher, his muscle fibers had greater explosive power, and his bones were harder than alloys, able to bear greater force.

"The improvement this time is a bit exaggerated." Exclaiming, Chen Chu summoned the attribute page with a thought.

Realm: Triple Heaven

Physical fitness: 285+

Strength: 306+

Agility: 247+

Spirit: 241+

Talent: Soul Split +

Skills: Lotus Meditation, Dragon Elephant Skill + [Third Level] Heart Eye Blade + [Third Level]

Attribute points: 3

Equipment: Ordinary Armor [Strong +10]

Body: Hexagonal Sword Beast

Level: Intermediate mutant beast [a mutant beast with three powerful talents, it is the king among the same level beasts, with extremely strong combat power]

Talent: Strength + [100x Strength Burst] Defense + [100x Pressure Defense]

Agility + [Special body structure and limbs with strong elastic joints and muscles, can instantly burst out thirty times the movement speed, the effect in water is weakened to a certain extent]

Evolution value: 0/3000

In this evolution, Chen Chu's four major attributes increased by 100 points overall. The overall increase in all aspects is very terrifying.

At this moment, he felt that even without the possession of true power, ordinary bullets could not penetrate his skin under the terrifying density, and the increase in strength was even more terrifying.

Squeak!!

Chen Chu grabbed the huge water tank rack on the rooftop with his palm and pulled it slightly. The metal rack weighing more than ten tons made a squeaking sound and deformed.

Feeling the terrifying power erupting from his arm muscles, Chen Chu released his palm with satisfaction: "It's just pure arm strength. I'm now over 4,000 kilograms."

As the physical attribute progresses, each increase will be stronger than the previous one. Just like now, the strength between 200 points and 300 points is almost doubled.

After a simple test of the almost doubled power, Chen Chu's attention fell on the data of the clone below.

The name became Hexagonal Sword Armor Beast, a mid-level mutant beast. This level classification is different from the classification of mutant beasts by humans.

Chen Chu felt that the current level of the Sword Armor Beast among mutant beasts should be around the early level four.

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

Of course, although the level is the early stage of level four, the notes of the mutant beast king at the back indicate that the combat power of the evolved sword-armored beast far exceeds its own level.

Chen Chu glanced over the information and focused his attention on the third talent, 'Swiftness'.

Accumulate power, and instantly burst out thirty times the movement speed. Chen Chu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the talent he got this time was not a hundred times increase.

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

The talent for strength comes from the powerful muscle fibers and hard bones throughout the body, while the talent for defense comes from the special hard exoskeleton armor of the whole body. Both belong to the physical category.

But the speed is different.

Although the evolved speed talent mainly comes from the ability to store power and possesses terrifying joint elasticity and strong muscles, it will be affected by external factors after the explosion.

Or it could be that because this talent comes from the physical body, it is still restricted by the laws of physics.

If similar rules are awakened through evolution, or the speed talent of extraordinary power, it should be able to ignore the laws of physics.

After carefully reading all the data, Chen Chu came to the Sword Armor Beast with a sank consciousness.

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

boom!

The river bank slope exploded with a loud bang, and dozens of tons of soil were thrown into the air as if it was hit by a missile bomb, splashing river water, shaking the earth, and filling the air with smoke and dust.

Amid the smoke and dust, a mutant beast with a pitch-black body appeared by the river.

After this evolution, Swordbeast's body became much more coordinated and stronger, and its body length increased from three meters to four meters, but the extra part was the tail.

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

Especially at the end of the tail, there grew a ten-centimeter-long black bone spur that looked like the tip of a gun or a sword.

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

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

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

In addition, the head has become more three-dimensional and heavy, with protruding eye bones and sharp black bone armor on the edges of the upper and lower jaws, just like a dragon head.

The three pairs of red horns on both sides are even brighter than blood, and they glow faintly like jade. The light golden vertical pupils are cold, and exude an inexplicable majesty.

At this moment, the Sword-Armored Beast exuded a ferocious aura, like a terrifying beast born solely for killing.

Roar! The Sword-Armored Beast opened its mouth slightly and let out a low roar that sounded like a tiger, but not a tiger. The sound was deep and rich.

boom!

The soil exploded with a loud bang, and four large pits appeared on the ground. Under the terrifying recoil force, the Sword-Armored Beast instantly turned into a residual image and disappeared on the spot.

Bang! The water on the river surface hundreds of meters away exploded, and several tons of river water rushed up to the sky like a fountain, and only slowly fell down after rushing more than ten meters.

Under the river, the sword-armored beast was moving at an astonishing speed like a black shadow.

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

The distance from the estuary to the river mouth where the tributaries flow in is more than 100 kilometers. It took the Heavy Armored Beast a long time to return, but after evolving into a Sword Armored Beast, it only took more than half an hour to go out.

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 became extremely terrifying, such as the knife fish we encountered at the beginning.

This evolution not only gained the talent of swiftness, but also made Swordbeast more agile and powerful, without the clumsiness of the Heavy Armored Beast form.

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

Although its size has not changed much, the Sword-Armored Beast is not as afraid of the ocean as before. It rushes towards the deep sea like a black shadow.

Because only deeper seas can breed more powerful mutant fish.

It wants to devour those stronger mutant fish so that it will have more energy to grow and accumulate more evolutionary value to prepare for the fourth evolution.

Just as the Sword Armor Beast swam more than 20 kilometers in the ocean and reached a water depth of more than 50 meters.

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

Bang! The seawater behind him exploded, and the Sword Armor Beast shot out like a black arrow. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of the black shadow in the distance, with its claws extended.

Puff puff!!

Under the terrifying speed and sharp claws, the head of the mutant eel, which looked like a python, had a ferocious head and was covered with yellow scales, was torn apart in an instant.

BANG BANG BANG!!

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

In just a blink of an eye, the surrounding ten meters of sea water was dyed red with blood, emitting a strong bloody smell.

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

I saw it grab the eel's body with its claws and swallow it like eating spicy strips. Rich blood and meat residue overflowed from its sharp teeth and floated in the sea.

But at this moment, none of the small fish and shrimps that smelled the blood dared to approach.

Although they have no intelligence, they have biological instincts. At this moment, they instinctively feel that there is a terrifying and murderous aura ahead and dare not move forward.

With a few crunching sounds, the mutant eel, which was ten meters long and weighed only one ton, was eaten up by the sword-armored beast in no time.

Under the biological energy converted from food, the sword-armored beast's body grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, appearing even more powerful.

And the evolution value directly increased by 1 point.

It may not seem like much, but the problem is that the Sword Armor Beast just casually swallowed an ordinary mutant conger eel. If it continues to eat at this rate, wouldn't its points increase by dozens a day?

At this time, the Sword Armor Beast swung its tail slightly, came to the bottom of the sea, and grabbed the mutant eel's head, which was as big as a bucket, with one claw.

But it didn't eat it. Instead, it crushed it with a snap.

"Nothing?" Sword-Armored Beast rummaged through the broken eel head residue but did not find the life crystal.

Sword Armor Beast only needs to convert the flesh and blood of living creatures into energy and accumulate evolution value.

Therefore, Chen Chu has always wanted to test whether the Sword Armor Beast can obtain more energy by devouring the crystal, or whether it is more cost-effective for him to convert the life crystal into attribute points.

I don’t know if it was bad luck or what, but the ordinary mutant fish that the heavy armored beast hunted in the river did not have life crystals.

However, compared to the ordinary mutant fish in the river, the endless ocean breeds more and stronger mutant beasts, and there are even many giant beasts that are over 100 meters in size and several hundred meters in length.

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

Even if an aircraft carrier is carrying a battle formation and a Zhenwu strongman passes by, there is still a risk of being completely destroyed, because the ocean is the home ground of those deep-sea monsters.

The Sword-Armored Beast dropped the debris it had caught, and swam away with its ferocious figure to look for its next target.

The conditions for the Life Crystal are extremely harsh, and it requires the creature to be at the peak stage of evolution before it can be born, so Sword Armor Beast is not very disappointed.

This one is not a big deal, just keep killing it. You will always find crystals in the body of some mutant fish.

As expected of an ocean rich in resources, before the Sword Armor Beast had swam a few kilometers, a huge black shadow appeared in its eyes.

After several evolutions, the Sword Armor Beast's eyesight became very sharp. With the help of the faint light from the moon falling on the sea, it discovered the food in advance.

It was a nine-meter-long, covered-with-brown-scales fish. Its widest part was more than two meters, and it was an obese mutant fish as big as a bus.

In the slightly open mouth are four sharp upper and lower canine teeth, which look very powerful.

Compared to the slender mutant eel, this mutant fish is much stronger, so the Sword Armor Beast slowed down and approached slowly from behind with its tail swinging.

However, the mutated fat fish was very sharp. It reacted when the sword-armored beast approached it more than ten meters away. It turned back suddenly and a gray force burst out from its body.

boom!

In an instant, the mutated fat fish covered by gray power was like a heavy tank, crashing into the sea water at a short distance and rushing towards the sword-armored beast at a terrifying speed.

The mutant fish's bulky body suddenly burst out at such a speed that even the Sword Armor Beast was a little surprised. It landed on its hind legs and stretched out its claws.

Boom! Dozens of tons of violent water flow exploded, blowing away the mud and sand within a dozen meters around, and the turbid sea water shock wave rushed far away before it subsided.

However, the Sword-Armored Beast, whose body seemed several times smaller, stood still. The muscles of its hind limbs swelled and sank into the seabed, firmly blocking the huge mutant fat fish in front of it.

This result confused the mutant fat fish, which used its innate ability to accelerate over short distances and hit its prey to death one by one.

However, the Sword Armor Beast was not stunned. It blocked the mutant fat fish's attack with its claws' muscles expanded, and it tore violently with a terrifying burst of power.

Poof! The gray power on the surface of the mutant fat fish was directly torn apart by the claws, followed by its ten-centimeter-thick scales, flesh and blood, revealing the white skull underneath.

Bang! In the severe pain, water gushed out of the mutant fat fish's mouth, and its huge mouth opened angrily and swung its head to bite the sword-armored beast on the side...

Puff! At this moment, a black shadow pierced through the sea water, soaring out at a speed almost reaching subsonic speed, and a flash of black light pierced through the head of the mutant fat fish.

It turned out to be the sword tail behind the Sword Armor Beast, which also had the ability to store power.

Looking at the dead mutant fish, the sword-armored beast's cold light golden vertical pupils did not fluctuate at all, and it pulled its tail out of the fish's head with a slight force.

At this moment, the sword-armored beast, standing on its hind legs on the seabed with its claws holding the mutant fish, looked like a humanoid monster. Its long and sharp tail swayed slightly in the sea water, making it look extremely ferocious.

However, the Sword-Armored Beast didn't care whether it was ferocious or not. It thought that eating such a big mutant fish should provide four or five points of evolution value, right?
