138: Black Piranha
However, because of the Tiger King, Su Yuan was not too worried about this.
Compared to the incredible ability of Creature Transformation, controlling all spirits was clearly easier for people to imagine and believe.
After all, there were already precedents like the Tiger King and the Big Black Fish.
At night, dark clouds covered the sky, deep and black, as if they were about to fall.
As they approached Shangqing City, rain gradually began to fall from the sky, and the closer they moved towards Shangqing City, the heavier the rain became.
Finally, Su Yuan, followed by the Four Great Heavenly Kings, arrived outside the small lake.
Behind him, the Evil Crocodile Turtle, twenty meters long, the Dark Tooth Fish, thirty meters long, the Two-Winged Dark Python, forty meters long, and the Thousand-Eyed Demon Crocodile, over thirty meters long, respectfully followed.
In addition to the Four Great Heavenly Kings, many twisted and insane Reedfish, Big Black Fish, Mandarin Fish, Gudgeon, Su Clan Silver Carp, along with Black Carp with sharp teeth, and ferocious Carp and Grass Carp, also followed around them.
These fish ranged from over ten to twenty meters long, with the smallest being at least three meters in length.
Although Su Yuan had the idea of a swarm strategy, even for his 'soldiers,' he had minimum requirements.
These creatures had all mutated beyond recognition; their bodies oozed slime, their forms were twisted, and some even had horrifying tentacles growing from them.
If an ordinary person were to see this scene, they would likely feel uncomfortable, challenging their sanity.
Around Su Yuan, there were no longer any normal Mutated Creatures; all were his dependents.
"Didn't they say their appearance would resemble mine? Why are they all more terrifying than the last?"
Su Yuan looked at the thousand or so terrifyingly ugly dependents around him and couldn't help but feel that the System had a big misunderstanding about his appearance.
He considered himself a very handsome octopus; in the octopus world, he was comparable to Pan An, and no octopus would disagree!
Su Yuan shook his head, letting all his dependents move freely in the vicinity, being careful to avoid humans, and then swam into the small lake with the Two-Winged Dark Python.
Su Yuan immediately looked towards the place where he had previously fought the Big Black Fish.
The military personnel who had been on the surrounding shore were no longer there.
However, the underwater cameras in the water were still present, and there were quite a few of them.
Su Yuan used his Camouflage Ability, dragging several large fish to crash into those underwater cameras; otherwise, the existence of the Two-Winged Dark Python would not have been hidden.
"There's no one around either. It's late at night; let's try out my flying ability."
"Once I master flying, it will be even more convenient to find people in Shangqing City."
The idea of flying suddenly arose in Su Yuan's mind, and he immediately prepared to act on it.
He swam rapidly towards the surface, breaking through the lake water, and most of his enormous body emerged.
The next moment, Su Yuan flapped his two broken wings, and his massive, mountain-like body actually lifted into the air, completely leaving the lake water and hovering in mid-air.
"Is this what flying feels like?!"
Su Yuan muttered excitedly, while also not forgetting his Camouflage Ability; his entire body almost completely blended into the night sky, becoming invisible.
Su Yuan flapped his wings again, and his body shot up into the sky; his speed was not very fast, but for such a huge body to be able to take flight was already astonishing enough.
In the darkness of the night, Su Yuan curiously began to practice.
Before long, Su Yuan had basically mastered the flying ability.
With his current flying ability, his flight speed should be around eighty kilometers per hour, which was even slower than his usual speed in the water.
Of course, for a body of Su Yuan's size to achieve such a flight speed was already very unscientific.
Su Yuan felt that the wings that had mutated this time were not simple.
Moreover, if he used his Swift Travel ability to double his speed, it would be terrifying, comparable to the speed of some Birds of Prey.
As Su Yuan's thought moved, water mist filled the surroundings, covering a section of the river.
The river surface broke, and the Two-Winged Dark Python also flew up excitedly, soaring and weaving through the water mist.
Due to its shape, the Two-Winged Dark Python's speed was even faster than Su Yuan's, likely already exceeding one hundred kilometers per hour.
After Su Yuan let it practice its flying ability for a while, he continued to travel underwater.
Of course, along the way, Su Yuan did not give up on hunting and devouring.
By the time Su Yuan returned to the Underground Dark River, his evolution points had already reached sixty thousand.
[evolution points: 60058 / 160000] (Devouring psionic energy is increasing)
Su Yuan had dug a large hole at the entrance, and only then did he bring the Two-Winged Dark Python into the Underground Dark River.
As the two entered, all the creatures along the way frantically fled.
Now, Su Yuan didn't even need to use his tentacles; merely with his Water Control Technique, he sent all these creatures into his beak.
[You devoured a blind shrimp and gained 0.6 evolution points.]
[You devoured a Cave Blindfish and gained 1.3 evolution points.]
...Su Yuan, with the Two-Winged Dark Python, continued to travel, mouth agape, eating the buffet served to him, all the way to the entrance of Dayang Lake.
Su Yuan extended a thick tentacle, deploying sharp Claws, like steel knives, directly cutting a large hole with a diameter of about 1.8 meters in the rock wall around the small opening.
This was just right for the Two-Winged Dark Python, which had a diameter of about 1.6 meters, to pass through; its two wings were composed of tentacles and could softly adhere to its body.
In Dayang Lake at night, various powerful predators were actively searching for prey, or had already begun hunting.
Even at the bottom of Dayang Lake, the fighting was fierce; mutated Tilapia schools, growing sharp teeth, were battling the increasingly hardened Suckerfish.
The addition of Gudgeon, Egyptian Walking Catfish, various Catfish, and some fierce Black Carp turned the riverbed into complete chaos.
But just then, a large hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the river, and tentacles squeezed out from within the large hole.
In the blink of an eye, a giant creature appeared at the bottom of the river; eight terrifying tentacles, huge eyes like guiding lights to the abyss, a pair of broken wings, a powerful and eerie aura, permeated all directions, making all living beings tremble.
The next moment, a giant python also emerged, its aura equally eerie.
All the surrounding creatures scattered frantically, and instantly, the area became quiet, standing out in the bustling Dayang Lake.
"Dayang Lake, I, Su Yuan, am back!"
Su Yuan looked at the familiar surroundings and let out a long roar, causing large sections of the lake water around him to explode.
Su Yuan looked around; after some time, the fish in Dayang Lake had grown even larger, even more exaggerated than those in the Yangtze River.
As the place Su Yuan knew to have the second-highest psionic energy, the Suckerfish and Tilapia here had almost all reached two meters in size, with some even exceeding two meters.
As for Grass Carp, Carp, Bighead Carp, Silver Carp, and Black Carp, which were originally larger fish, their lengths were at least four meters, unless they were immature juveniles.
As for predators, Reedfish were almost all seven to eight meters or more, Big Black Fish were almost all five to six meters or more, Mandarin Fish were two to three meters, and Predatory Carp were almost all five to six meters or more.
Having evolved to this point, these predators were no longer the same as before; they all had mouths full of sharp teeth, larger heads, and increasingly developed jaw muscles.
Hairy Crab and River Prawns/Shrimp over one meter were also common everywhere, densely packed, and the length of Crayfish was even more astonishing.
However, these predators, due to Su Yuan's appearance, were frantically fleeing the area.
"Now, there's still one problem: how do I get from Dayang Lake into Shangqing City?"
Su Yuan got a headache, finally realizing the problem.
Dayang Lake was very large, and there were many tributary rivers and diversion points flowing through the surrounding cities.
As an outsider, how would he know how to get from Dayang Lake to Shangqing City?
"It seems I can only risk ascending into the air to take a look."
Su Yuan flapped his wings, then suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction.
Soon, the Two-Winged Dark Python beside him also became restless, its massive body twisting in the water, its vertical pupils fixed on the distance.
Soon, a massive figure swam over in the darkness of the night.
This was a giant fish, entirely gray-black, about thirty meters long, similar in shape to a Tilapia, flat and broad, but even more exaggerated and very robust, with an incredibly large head, an astonishing biting structure where the biting force was almost visible to the naked eye, and a mouth full of triangular sharp teeth, enough to tear steel!
"This body shape, this color, could it be a Black Piranha?!"
Su Yuan was somewhat surprised; he had never seen this fish in Dayang Lake before.
This was a Black Piranha, whose biting force per unit weight surpassed all freshwater and saltwater fish.
