Chapter 99 - 96: Third Evolution, Sword Armor
Translator: 549690339
This evolution not only gave the Sword Armor Beast the Agility Talent, but it also made it become more agile and fierce, shedding off the heaviness of its Heavy Armored Beast form.
Bang! At the junction of saltwater and freshwater, a dark shadow tore through the waves and plunged into the ocean.
Although its size did not change much, the Sword Armor Beast was not as fearful of the ocean as before. Its figure was like a dark shadow, rushing towards the deep outer sea.
Because only deeper waters could spawn more powerful Mutated Fish.
It wanted to devour those stronger Mutated Fish so that it would have more energy to grow and gather more evolution value for the upcoming Fourth Evolution.
Just as the Sword Armor Beast was swimming out more than 20 kilometers in the ocean, it came to a place with a depth of more than 50 meters.
A 10-meter-long, snake-like dark shadow appeared before its eyes. The Sword Armor Beast immediately erupted with a terrifying burst of power from within its body.
Bang! The water behind it exploded and the Sword Armor Beast shot out like a black arrow, appearing in front of the distant dark shadow in the blink of an eye, reaching out with both claws.
Squirt Squirt!!
Under the horror of speed and sharp double claws, the head of the Mutant Eel, resembling a python and covered in yellow scales, was instantly torn apart.
Boom Boom Boom!!
Like a real python, the decapitated Mutant Eel’s corpse remained stiff, its body as thick as a bucket twisting and thrashing madly in the sea, spurting blood.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding seawater within tens of meters was dyed red with blood, emanating a strong bloody smell.
When the corpse of the Mutant Eel stopped struggling, the pitch-black and fierce Sword Armor Beast slowly swam over.
Its double claws grabbed the body of the eel, and it began to eat it like it was eating a spicy strip, with thick blood and flesh overflowing from its sharp teeth and drifting in the water.
However, at this moment, not a single small fish or shrimp that smelled blood dared to come close.
Although they lacked intelligence, they had the instincts of living beings. At this time, they could instinctively feel a terrifying murderous aura coming from the front and did not dare to approach.
Crunch crunch! In a short while, the ten-meter-long, one-ton Mutant Eel was completely eaten by the Sword Armor Beast.
Under the biological energy transformed by the food, the Sword Armor Beast’s body visibly grew bigger, becoming even more fierce.
And its Evolution value increased by 1 point directly.
It seemed not much, but the problem was that the Sword Armor Beast had just casually devoured an ordinary Mutant Sea Eel. According to this speed of eating, would! it increase by dozens of points in a day?
At this time, the Sword Armor Beast flicked its tail slightly, went to the bottom of the sea, and grabbed the Eel’s head, which was as big as a bucket, with one of its claws.
However, it did not eat it but crushed it with a crack.
“Nothing?” The Sword Armor Beast rummaged through the crushed eel debris, but did not find a Life Crystal.
The Sword Armor Beast only needed the blood and flesh of living beings to be transformed into energy and accumulate Evolution value.
Therefore, Jack Clark had been wanting to test whether the Sword Armor Beast would gain more energy from swallowing crystals or if it would be more cost-effective for him to transform Life Crystals into Attribute points.
However, before this, he had no idea whether it was due to bad luck or something else, the ordinary Mutated Fish hunted by the Heavy Armored Beast in the river did not have Life Crystals.
However, compared to the ordinary Mutated Fish in the river, there were more and stronger Mutated Beasts in the endless ocean, even with sizes exceeding 100 or 200 meters, such Giant Beasts were not few in number.
Those places usually became Deep Sea Forbidden Zones, where human ships dared not approach.
Even aircraft carriers carrying a battle group and accompanied by True Martial Experts passing by would face the risk of being completely destroyed, because the ocean was the home field of those Deep Sea Giant Beasts.
The Sword Armor Beast threw away the debris it had captured, and its fearsome figure swam away to find its next target.
The conditions for Life Crystals were extremely harsh. They only appeared when a creature reached the peak evolutionary stage, so the Sword Armor Beast was not too disappointed.
No big deal, it would just continue killing and would eventually find a crystal inside a Mutated Fish.
As expected, in the resource-rich ocean, the Sword Armor Beast hadn’t swum a few kilometers before a huge dark shadow appeared in its field of vision.
With several evolutions, the Sword Armor Beast had extremely sharp vision. Under the faint light reflected by the moon on the sea surface, it discovered this food source in advance.
It was a nine-meter-long Mutant Fat Fish. Its body was covered in brown scales, as wide as two meters at its widest point, and it looked like a bus. Its slightly open mouth had four sharp canine teeth, appearing quite fierce.
Compared to the slender Mutant Eel, this Mutant Fish was much more powerful. Therefore, the Sword Armor Beast slowed down its speed and approached it slowly, with its tail swinging back and forth.
However, the Mutant Fat Fish was very sharp. Just as the Sword Armor Beast approached it within ten meters, it reacted abruptly, turned its head back, and a grey power erupted from its body.
Bang!
In an instant, the Mutant Fat Fish, covered in grey power, looked like a heavy armored tank, and a short-distance underwater explosion erupted at a terrible speed, as it slammed towards the Sword Armor Beast.
This burst of speed from the seemingly clumsy Mutant Fat Fish caught the Sword Armor Beast by surprise. It involuntarily stepped back, and reached out with both claws.
Boom! Tens of tons of turbulent water exploded, blasting the surrounding muddy sand and silt tens of meters away, and the turbid shock waves calmed down only after traveling a long distance.
But the Sword Armor Beast, which looked several times smaller, remained firm. Its hind legs’ muscles swelled and sunk into the seabed, holding the huge Mutant Fat Fish steadily in front of it.
This outcome left the Mutant Fat Fish, which had used its talent to accelerate in a short distance and ram its prey to death, somewhat dumbfounded.
However, it might be dumb, but the Sword Armor Beast was not. As it blocked the impact of the Mutant Fat Fish, its double claws’ muscles swelled, and a terrifying burst of power erupted as it suddenly tore apart.
Pu! The grey power on the surface of the Mutant Fat Fish was directly torn by the double claws, followed by its ten-centimeter-thick scale armor and flesh, exposing the white bones underneath.
Bang! In extreme pain, the Mutant Fat Fish spewed water from its mouth and opened its giant jaws to bite the side of the Sword Armor Beast…
Squirt! At this moment, a dark shadow pierced through the water, the speed of which almost reached subsonic levels. A black light flashed and pierced through the head of the Mutant Fat Fish.
It was the sword-shaped tail of the Sword Armor Beast, which also possessed a Charging Ability.
As it looked at the dead Mutant Fish, there was no ripple in the Sword Armor Beast’s cold, pale golden vertical pupils. Its tail gently pulled out of the fish’s head with a little force.
At this moment, with its hind legs standing on the seabed and its double claws gripping the Mutant Fish, the Sword Armor Beast looked like a humanoid monster. Its long and sharp tail swayed slightly in the water, looking incredibly fierce.
However, the Sword Armor Beast didn’t care whether it was fierce or not.. It was thinking that after eating such a big Mutated Fish, it should be able to provide four or five Evolution points, right?
