41: Wolf attack

Su Yuan glanced at his panel.

【evolution points: 2013.8 / 2000】 (Devouring psionic energy to upgrade) (Evolvable)

"I can evolve again, how comfortable!"

Su Yuan immediately decided to evolve. He hadn't forgotten his terrifying neighbor, Big Black Fish.

Without completely surpassing Big Black Fish's strength, he would suffer from a phobia of insufficient strength.

"The moment I saw people from the Public Security Office rushing to Dayang Lake early in the morning, I guessed that our Brother Octopus must have come to Dayang Lake."

Chen Xu had a smug expression. He had hacked into a Security Officer's phone to find out their movements.

But just then, a voice came from the river.

Su Yuan looked towards the riverbank and saw a familiar figure, it was Lin Fei.

"Why did this young man come here too?"

Su Yuan was a bit confused. Lin Fei's home was in Yangxi Town, on the other side of Dayang Lake, which was not close to here.

Also, the Brother Octopus this little Fatty mentioned made him feel like he was referring to himself.

"Alright, I know how impressive you are, Chen the Hacker. Dayang Lake is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Qingxi Town and Yangjiang Town are two of the only three valleys around, and Yangjiang Town is the closest place to us. I hope we can find something."

Lin Fei said helplessly.

Witnessing so many incredibly large fish made them feel the changes in the world.

Perhaps, the wilderness in nature had long since changed, becoming even more dangerous.

It was for this reason that they had to take the mountain roads, without cutting through the forest, to reach Yangjiang Town.

"Let's go, let's get a lake-view room at this hotel."

Lin Fei and Chen Xu immediately took a liking to a hotel standing on the shore of Dayang Lake.

The hotel's name was in Eagle Country language, which was a symbol of luxury in Rabbit Country.

"Eagle Country Hotel, never rips off the poor."

Chen Xu pouted, then followed Lin Fei inside with big strides, his eyes sweeping over a few big white rabbits.

Inside the hotel, the decor was luxurious, with marble floors, crystal chandeliers emitting soft light, and fragrant incense.

The waitresses were all beautiful, with fair skin and graceful figures.

"Fatty Chen, don't be like that. Your Brother Fei can't afford to lose face."

Lin Fei, with a dark expression, pulled away and went to the front desk to check in.

"Sullen, flirtatious."

Chen Xu said scornfully.

"Dear esteemed guest, due to the temporary closure of the Dayang Mountain Nature Reserve's accessible area and the Dayang Lake scenic area, the complimentary ticket benefit provided by the hotel has been canceled. The hotel offers a 200-yuan no-threshold voucher as compensation."

"What! I came here specifically to visit Dayang Lake and Dayang Mountain!"

A middle-aged man with a large gold chain and a receding hairline said with dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry..."

Lin Fei and Chen Xu exchanged glances, further confirming their suspicions.

"Esteemed guest, a lake-view room is two thousand yuan per night, thank you."

The Young Miss at the front desk said with a smile.

"That's really expensive!"

Chen Xu gasped, and Lin Fei paid with a pained expression.

After completing the procedures, the two quickly went upstairs and entered their room.

"It seems something really has happened. Not only in the water, but even land creatures might have undergone mutation."

Chen Xu remarked, while also surveying the luxurious facilities in the room.

"Don't just lie there, hurry up."

Lin Fei pulled a pair of binoculars from his backpack and continued, "I wonder what the situation is like in Dayang Mountain. Will there also be Mutated Creatures with special abilities like the Giant Eel?"

"Hard to say. Even if not, if these ferocious beasts grow larger and stronger, they would still be very dangerous. Anyway, I'm not going into those forests again."

Chen Xu got up and walked over, picked up a pair of binoculars, and looked out at the vast Dayang Lake.

Dayang Mountain Nature Reserve is a very large nature reserve, containing not only terrifying creatures like wild wolves and leopards, but also top predators like tigers.

A few years ago, a nearby village had an incident where a tiger came down the mountain, and it was eventually the people from the Bureau of Flora and Fauna Administration, armed with tranquilizer guns, who rushed in and brought the situation under control.

Tigers themselves are top predators. If they were to undergo evolutionary mutation like the fish in the river...

He felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"No, this height of twenty floors still doesn't allow us to see the entire Dayang Lake."

Lin Fei, wearing binoculars, looked into the distance, unable to see the end of Dayang Lake.

"Let's just watch for a bit. The rain seems to be stopping."

Chen Xu, with binoculars, searched the lake surface within his view.

Dayang Lake was vast and clear, sparkling under the gradually brightening sunlight, with ripples spreading out.

Just then, in one part of Dayang Lake, water suddenly splashed up, and a huge fish leaped out of the water, covered in dense scales and with a ferocious mouth.

The next moment, a gaping maw emerged, bit the large fish, and then submerged beneath the lake water amidst the large waves.

Lin Fei and Chen Xu watched in shock. Although they saw it through binoculars, this high-end model made them feel as if they were right there.

Most importantly, the fish that was eaten was by no means a small one.

"The danger of Dayang Lake is probably no less than where we are, and possibly even more dangerous."

"This time, in our search for Brother Octopus, we absolutely cannot go into the water."

Lin Fei said with a serious expression.

Chen Xu nodded in agreement. He had accumulated so much fat over the years; he couldn't let it be fish food.

The vast Dayang Lake made the eyes of the two, who were wearing binoculars, ache, and they couldn't find any trace of the Giant Octopus.

However, during this time, the two discovered many huge shadows, including long, narrow figures like giant pythons, and shadows of giant fish, but they did not find any trace of the Giant Octopus.

"Octopus has Camouflage Ability. It's not easy to find it. Thankfully, it's summer vacation now, so we have plenty of time."

Lin Fei said.

Soon, the two noticed that the Security Officers of Yangjiang Town seemed to have received some orders and began setting up a quarantine zone along Dayang Lake to prevent the public from approaching.

Even they received a notification from the waitstaff that the area around Dayang Lake was dangerous and that the public and tourists were now prohibited from approaching.

"Brother Octopus, oh Brother Octopus, we brothers are looking for you for your own good. Just show yourself."

"I know you're powerful, but the people looking for you are even more powerful. You absolutely cannot resist them, nor should you."

After half a day, Chen Xu covered his eyes, muttering to himself.

His eyes ached from watching for most of the day.

Just then, a sharp cry came from high in the sky, and a huge bird flew across the sky before their eyes.

Its enormous size, sharp talons and beak, and keen eyes startled them.

"Holy crap! What a huge bird!"

"Could it also be affected by the resurgence of psionic energy?"

Lin Fei and Chen Xu exclaimed.

"Roar..."

At this moment, faint roars could be heard from below, rising and falling, seemingly not coming from a single creature.

"What's going on?"

Lin Fei and Chen Xu were startled. Their room faced Dayang Lake, so they couldn't see the source of the sound.

"It seems something has happened!"

This was a high floor, and they were indoors, yet they could still faintly hear the commotion, which showed how loud the sound was.

Their first thought was of the ferocious beasts on land and the Dayang Mountain Nature Reserve next to the hotel.

Lin Fei and Chen Xu immediately set off, taking the elevator to the third-floor banquet hall. This entire floor was open, allowing them to see the view on the other side.

At this moment, this floor was very chaotic, with too many people crowding in front of the glass windows.

Lin Fei and Chen Xu tried hard to push through but couldn't, so they had no choice but to go downstairs.

Outside the hotel, giant wolves, each larger than a tiger, were attacking the crowd, a terrifying sight.
