44: Tilapia Territory

Su Yuan, feeling his increasingly powerful body, was very satisfied and opened his system panel.

“Race: Adaptable Octopus”

“Rank: 16”

“evolution points: 200.8 / 2300” (Increasing by devouring spiritual energy)

“Enhanced Endurance? It’s better than nothing, I suppose.”

Su Yuan muttered to himself. Stronger Endurance would be useful when encountering an evenly matched opponent, allowing him to wear them down.

Besides the enhanced Endurance, the increase in body size was also par for the course. Although his strength hadn't dramatically improved, it had further increased.

“Next, before the military makes a move, I need to raise my strength as much as possible!”

“Primary target, the industrial zone!”

Su Yuan looked towards the industrial zone, and his massive body began to move.

At this critical juncture, he was very cautious, moving slowly along the riverbed, maintaining his disguise. He didn't want to attract the military's attention at this point.

Not to mention the people on shore, even some less intelligent fish and shrimp didn't notice Su Yuan's arrival.

Su Yuan naturally didn't stand on ceremony. His eight tentacles extended, moving unhurriedly, quietly capturing many prey.

“You devoured a Suckerfish, gaining 0.3 evolution points.”

“You devoured a Tilapia, gaining 0.4 evolution points.”

“You devoured an Egyptian Walking Catfish, gaining 4.1 evolution points.”

...“Egyptian Walking Catfish? Egyptian Walking Catfish?”

Su Yuan had once fished for this type of fish, which originated from the Nile River basin in Africa. Later, it was placed in his fish tank and underwent Body Integration with other fish.

He had also kept fish for a period, not many, but they were all relatively fierce fish.

To his knowledge, in some domestic waters, the number of Egyptian Walking Catfish might not be less than Suckerfish and Tilapia.

Egyptian Walking Catfish can survive in dirty and poor environments, with extremely strong adaptability. However, they are not tolerant of low temperatures and carry many Parasite. But for him, that was naturally irrelevant.

Su Yuan looked around and indeed found many Egyptian Walking Catfish, especially one among them, nearly two meters long, with a wide mouth and eight whiskers.

“Consider it contributing to the nation's ecological environment.”

One of Su Yuan's tentacles swept out like a giant python, moving extremely fast, even losing its disguise effect.

But at such a speed, that Egyptian Walking Catfish had no time to dodge and was entangled.

The twelve-centimeter Claws, like daggers forged from steel, pierced in, and blood gushed out.

Su Yuan didn't even need to open his mouth wider; he swallowed it whole in one gulp.

“You devoured an Egyptian Walking Catfish, gaining 20.1 evolution points.”

“20 evolution points, not bad, not bad, quite plump!”

Su Yuan smacked his lips. After traveling several miles through the river, he finally arrived at his destination.

This was the industrial zone of Yangjiang Town. Due to the shift in Yangjiang Town's development focus, the factories here were to be relocated.

In fact, it was quite quiet here now; most of the factories had already moved, with very few remaining.

The water quality here was also noticeably worse than other places, with a stench of metal mixed with other foul odors.

In his field of vision, other fish, such as Egyptian Walking Catfish, Suckerfish, Carp, Grass Carp, Silver Carp, Bighead Carp, etc., had all disappeared.

Even some carnivorous fish, like Reedfish, Black Carp, and Eel, were not seen.

There were only dense swarms of Tilapia, their numbers astonishing.

Su Yuan, however, smiled. To him, these were all gleaming evolution points!

Su Yuan's arrival also caused a commotion among the Tilapia school.

But soon, they quieted down, their eyes fierce as they stared at Su Yuan.

Dense swarms of Tilapia, almost filling the water, staring at you with fierce eyes, would make anyone's scalp tingle.

“A bunch of miscellaneous fish, daring to bare your teeth?”

Su Yuan's eyes held a smile, but his massive body instantly shot out.

In an instant, Su Yuan had plunged into the Tilapia territory, his eight tentacles sweeping through the surrounding waters!

His mouth opened wide, and his eight tentacles, without any time difference, sent the Tilapia into his mouth, practically turning into a meat grinder!

“You devoured a Tilapia, gaining 0.46 evolution points.”

“You devoured a Tilapia, gaining 0.43 evolution points.”

...Su Yuan was eating like crazy. There were simply too many Tilapia, filling this body of water.

In a short time, his evolution points began to skyrocket.

Even the former Mosquitofish swarm hadn't caused evolution points to increase this quickly.

After all, the evolution points from a single Mosquitofish were simply too small.

However, these Tilapia also didn't sit idly by. They furiously rammed Su Yuan, their mouths opening and closing, seemingly trying to bite Su Yuan.

Unfortunately, Tilapia do not have teeth, only pharyngeal teeth located in their throats, making it difficult for them to have much offensive power, let alone bite Su Yuan.

Elementary resilient skin simply could not be breached by these Tilapia, who didn't even have teeth.

However, to Su Yuan's surprise, even though he was slaughtering them so openly, these Tilapia couldn't cause him the slightest harm, yet they still didn't retreat.

This made Su Yuan curious. Wild animals tend to seek advantages and avoid harm, unless they are fish that nurture their offspring, but that didn't apply here; these were basically all adult Tilapia.

Such a thing was very rare, even strange.

“If they don't flee, perfect, it saves me the trouble of chasing them.”

Su Yuan didn't think too much about it. In the era of spiritual energy revival, Eel could control water, Black Carp could withstand cannons, and he could spray Laser Beams. He could completely accept this little strangeness.

His eight tentacles moved incredibly swiftly, stirring up turbulence in the river, rapidly coiling up Tilapia and sending them into his mouth.

The surge in evolution points made Su Yuan beam with joy.

At this moment, thousands of Tilapia had already densely surrounded Su Yuan, making his figure completely invisible.

But as time passed, the number of Tilapia slowly decreased, and Su Yuan's figure became faintly visible.

The disparity in strength, after all, could not be compensated for by numbers.

But just then.

A strange sound wave swept over, impacting Su Yuan's body, causing him intense pain and dizziness.

“What the hell is that!”

Su Yuan shook his head, roused himself, and suddenly burst out of the Tilapia swarm's encirclement, his gaze scanning the surroundings, instantly locking onto a Tilapia.

Unlike the surrounding Tilapia, this one was astonishingly large, nearly five meters long, with a variegated body color, and sharp teeth visible as its mouth opened and closed.
