124: Entering the Yangtze River

Su Yuan saw that it was almost time, so he immediately stopped bothering with the water vortex, opened his massive beak, and began to devour frantically.

At the same time, all eight of his tentacles also moved out, targeting the large fish that might still be somewhat conscious, grabbing them, and devouring them immediately.

Su Yuan started devouring from the large fish, working his way down to the smaller fish.

These smaller fish, with less physical strength than the larger ones, were mostly unconscious, so there was no worry about them escaping.

If some of the larger fish, with considerable strength, weren't devoured first, they might have a chance to escape.

Because Su Yuan's surroundings were currently piled with too many fish, Su Yuan couldn't necessarily attend to all of them.

Therefore, he used his tentacles to grab the largest fish, shrimp, and crabs, and began devouring them first.

[You devoured a Reeves Shad and gained 10 evolution points.]

[You devoured a Carp and gained 12 evolution points.]

[You devoured an Egyptian Walking Catfish and gained 13 evolution points.]

... Even at Su Yuan's speed, it took some time to devour this wave.

[evolution points: 10086 / 120000] (Devouring Psionic Energy is increasing)

"Not bad, not bad. This wave directly increased my evolution points by over six thousand. Overall, it's indeed much faster than before."

Su Yuan nodded. Because his speed was already very fast, in the current freshwater river, ordinary creatures were far inferior to him, so his normal devouring speed was also very fast.

Therefore, although this operation increased his devouring speed, it didn't improve it too much.

Unless he could maintain the vortex while devouring, and even maintain movement.

If he reached that point, his devouring speed would be terrifying.

Su Yuan looked at the sparse creatures around him, continued to swim into the distance, practiced the Water Control Technique, and accumulated evolution points through devouring.

He planned to reinforce the Water Control Technique once he reached 30,000 evolution points.

In this deserted suburb, an eerie vortex enveloped the river.

As the red sun slowly rose from the distant horizon, casting golden-red morning glow, Su Yuan finally stopped the Water Control Technique and began devouring the prey around him.

A few minutes later, Su Yuan had devoured all the surrounding prey.

"Let me see, the evolution points should be enough."

[evolution points: 40176 / 120000] (Devouring Psionic Energy is increasing)

"Not bad, it's over forty thousand."

Su Yuan grinned, which looked a bit eerie on his octopus-like Face.

Su Yuan dove to the riverbed, entered Camouflage Ability state, opened his system panel, went to the skill reinforcement page, and selected the Water Control Technique.

"System Dad, give it to your son!"

He continued his old routine, washed his Face, rubbed the nine Dragon sculptures, and then clicked reinforce.

As the colorful light danced, Su Yuan stared intently. Each reinforcement cost 10,000 evolution points, so he couldn't afford to lose any.

However, the result still disappointed Su Yuan.

[Skill Reinforcement Failed!]

"little system, you're not giving me, the primordial lord of eternal life, any Face!"

Su Yuan was a bit frustrated. 10,000 evolution points, in the past, would have taken him several days to farm!

"Give it to me! Otherwise, when I achieve Major Achievement in my divine skill, I'll tear you apart!"

Su Yuan gritted his teeth and clicked reinforce.

This time, he wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but Su Yuan felt the colorful light was even more dazzling.

Soon, the colorful light gradually dissipated.

[Congratulations, Host, Water Control Technique reinforcement successful. Current level is Water Control Technique +1.]

[Water Control Technique +1: Compared to before, you can control much more water.]

[evolution points: 20176 / 120000] (Devouring Psionic Energy is increasing)

"It's daylight. Should I go to the lake to see what caused the explosion the night before last?"

"More than a day has passed. Even if there are still people there, the guards shouldn't be as strict as they were initially."

Su Yuan muttered to himself, turning his head towards Shengmen Town.

He was a bit curious about what happened that night. If it was a battle between the Big Black Fish and the country, and if the Big Black Fish was eliminated, it would be a good thing for him.

Su Yuan swam towards Shengmen Town. Under his Camouflage Ability, even in broad daylight, and even at a speed of forty kilometers per hour, no one could detect him.

Even underwater cameras couldn't identify Su Yuan's presence.

Soon, Su Yuan returned to the vicinity of last night's snack street. He saw some people reinforcing and raising barbed wire fences.

Su Yuan merely glanced at it and continued forward.

After a while, he arrived at the location where he had entered from the Underground Dark River.

The fish and shrimp in this area had already returned to normal numbers.

The large void left by herbivorous creatures here would naturally attract a large number of herbivorous creatures, and herbivorous creatures would also attract carnivorous creatures.

Su Yuan didn't waste any time, devouring invasive species on the riverbed as he moved forward.

[You devoured a Tilapia and gained 1.3 evolution points.]

[You devoured an Apple Snail and gained 0.6 evolution points.]

... Finally, Su Yuan entered the lake.

Even with his keen senses, he could no longer detect any trace of the Big Black Fish's aura.

Su Yuan swam towards the place where he had fought the Big Black Fish.

Soon, he was approaching his destination and saw a large number of soldiers standing on the shore, along with some people in suits.

Su Yuan's pupils contracted slightly as he saw an area where the entire ground had caved in, forming a deep pit with a diameter of over ten meters and a depth of one or two meters.

"This definitely wasn't caused by artillery. Did they deploy bombers? Or missiles?"

Su Yuan didn't know that the navy personnel, for revenge, had applied for permission to launch a missile the day before yesterday.

But in the end, they couldn't trap the Big Black Fish, but instead waited for members of the Mysterious Organization.

Su Yuan now looked at the large deep pit, and a strong sense of apprehension rose in his heart.

With such destructive power, if he were hit, he would be severely injured, if not killed.

If the explosion point was not far from his brain, there was a high probability he would die.

Neither the Black Light Shield nor the Intermediate Tenacious Skin would have been of any use.

In fact, such destructive power was nothing to humans.

"My strength is still far from enough. At the very least, I need to be able to withstand a nuclear bomb to truly have the ability to protect myself."

Su Yuan muttered to himself.

His gaze scanned the surrounding lake water, but he saw no signs of battle. The traces on the lakebed were still from his last fight with the Big Black Fish.

Coupled with the huge deep pit on the shore, this made Su Yuan suspect that the explosion that night was probably the cause of this deep pit.

"Moreover, from the current clues, the battle that night was very likely between the Mysterious Organization and the country."

"I wonder which side won?"

Su Yuan murmured, a sense of urgency rising in his heart. His strength needed to be improved quickly.

Su Yuan took one last look at the people on the shore and quietly left.

"Should I go home?"

Su Yuan suddenly thought of his old home. He actually had no family there, only a long-time good friend.

Since his Rebirth, although less than a month had passed, he had experienced so much that it felt like he had lived through ages.

Su Yuan suddenly felt a little homesick.

However, his home was in a coastal city, Jianghai City, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

That was a super first-tier city in the Rabbit Country, where he used to live.

"The ocean, the Mutated Creatures there, both in terms of strength and quantity, will far exceed those in rivers. I still need to wait."

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, suppressing the thoughts in his heart.

Freshwater creatures were at a disadvantage in size compared to marine creatures, and the vast environment of the ocean made it easier for giant creatures to emerge.

Su Yuan swam forward, and soon, he found that he seemed to be entering a larger lake ahead.

He swam over and found that the width of the lake had increased by at least five or six times, and the water depth was around fifty meters.

At the same time, he found that the biological resources here were astonishingly abundant, second only to Dayang Lake.

Moreover, the length of this lake, Su Yuan couldn't see the end of it, it was very large.

"I haven't heard of such a large lake around Dayang Lake?"

Su Yuan was a bit puzzled.

Looking around, various creatures were incredibly numerous, but Su Yuan did not devour them immediately. Instead, he moved at high speed in his Camouflage Ability state.

He had a guess in his heart.

Su Yuan ran for half an hour at a speed of over forty kilometers per hour, but still found no sign of the end of the lake. Instead, the width of the lake became increasingly astonishing.

"Indeed, this is the Yangtze River! I've entered the Yangtze River!"

Su Yuan's eyes flickered.

Although the Psionic Energy concentration in the Yangtze River was not as high as in Dayang Lake, the sheer volume of the Yangtze River far exceeded Dayang Lake.

With such a volume, the number of Mutated Creatures in the Yangtze River would definitely far surpass Dayang Lake.

The Yangtze River was a treasure trove for gaining evolution points!
