50: Mysterious Armor

Su Yuan sank motionless to the bottom of the lake, seeing the warships turn and head towards him, seemingly searching for him.

Unfortunately, Su Yuan lay flat on the lakebed, blending with the ground, appearing as a normal lakebed structure on sonar, making him impossible to discover.

“Indeed, they can’t find it. This Giant Octopus must possess extremely high intelligence. Let’s wait for the next opportunity.”

Professor Jin Weiguo said.

Colonel Liu, having just experienced failure, did not object and dared not underestimate these mutated evolutionary creatures anymore.

Just like that, the three warships docked in the deep water area near the shore.

They planned to stay for a few more days, and only after confirming that the Big Black Fish would not return would they withdraw.

“Gentlemen, why don’t we visit Dayang Mountain first?”

Professor Jin Weiguo invited the professors to be guests at Dayang Mountain Nature Reserve. Dayang Mountain had also experienced quite a stir these past few days. If it weren't for the Big Black Fish causing casualties among the Soldiers, Professor Jin Weiguo would have dealt with Dayang Mountain’s affairs as soon as he returned.

“It would be an honor.”

The professors said with a smile. Many of the wild animals and plants in Dayang Mountain Nature Reserve had also shown astonishing levels of evolution, which was one of their objectives for coming.

As for the Giant Octopus they had been thinking about, several old professors had proposed methods, but Professor Jin Weiguo rejected them one by one because he had already tried them all.

On the way back, the old professors were still learning about the Giant Octopus.

“Old Jin, has this octopus really never attacked humans?”

An old professor asked.

“According to the intelligence we have, that is indeed the case. However, we cannot rule out that it might have attacked humans without our knowledge.”

“Even if it hasn’t attacked humans, it doesn’t mean it is friendly towards us. It’s very possible that it recognizes our human strength, which is why it acts this way.”

Professor Jin Weiguo said.

“If that’s really the case, then it truly possesses a remarkably high level of intelligence.”

The professors exclaimed in surprise.

“It is indeed astonishing, but the threat to us humans is not great, and it holds high value for research.”

Professor Jin Weiguo said meaningfully.

The professors paused slightly, then smiled: “Indeed, unless it can evolve to Breakthrough the limitations of the Octopodidae family and evolve into another family, but that’s impossible for a single organism.”

“At least, it would require a time scale of tens of thousands of years.”

“So, let’s hope our young man can persuade it.”

Professor Jin Weiguo looked in the direction of Yangjiang Town and said.

This wave of evolution will one day sweep over everyone.

If the secret of this evolutionary frenzy can be unraveled, perhaps it could allow the motherland to emerge unscathed, or even ascend to a higher level in this evolutionary frenzy... At the bottom of Dayang Lake, there was an abundance of creatures, with Big Fish and large crabs appearing endlessly.

A two-meter-long Big Black Fish suddenly darted out from the bottom of the lake and bit a Hairy Crab.

Previously, this Hairy Crab was battling a Suckerfish.

But the next moment, the lakebed trembled, and a terrifying tentacle stretched out, instantly coiling around the Big Black Fish, with ferocious Claws, like sharp knives, piercing into the Big Black Fish's body.

At the same time, seven other tentacles extended, wrapping around seven sizable crabs.

【You devoured a Hairy Crab and gained 1.2 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Big Black Fish and gained 15 evolution points.】

...After dealing with these little snacks, Su Yuan looked in the direction the warships had left, knowing that he would have to be careful and cautious in Dayang Lake for the next few days.

“It’s time to devour and evolve!”

The Big Black Fish’s escape still left a huge stone weighing on Su Yuan’s heart; only powerful strength could allow him to relax.

Dayang Lake was vast, and Su Yuan didn't have to worry about being discovered by the warships that might still be in Dayang Lake.

There were too many Big Fish in Dayang Lake, and at a distance, even sonar detection would be inaccurate.

If the warships were docked by the shore, they would be forty to fifty kilometers from here, making it even more impossible to discover anything.

He swam in the opposite direction from where the warships had left, indulging in a feeding frenzy along the way, devouring various Eels, Eels, Big Black Fish, Grass Carp, Bighead Carp, and other creatures in several cycles of Reincarnation.

Suddenly, Su Yuan felt a chill down his spine, and his body instinctively contracted and coiled.

The next moment, a green Laser Beam shot past where his head had been.

“Laser? Human?”

Su Yuan’s expression changed slightly, and he instantly turned his head to look, his excellent vision allowing him to see a strange object about a hundred meters behind him.

This was a battle armor similar to Iron Man’s, entirely gray and silver, with a person controlling it from inside.

On each shoulder of the battle armor was a small cannon, which must have been the device that just fired the laser.

“It dodged?”

The man inside the battle armor was somewhat surprised, then said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll just cut it down and take it with me!”

The next moment, his battle armor pulled out a two-meter-long alloy greatsword, and the battle armor’s power erupted, sending the entire person charging towards Su Yuan at a speed of sixty kilometers per hour.

“Seeking death!”

Su Yuan’s expression turned cold. Although he didn’t know who this person, equipped with high-tech gear from a movie, was or what faction he belonged to.

But since he dared to launch a fatal attack on him, he should be prepared to die!

Su Yuan jetted water backward, reaching a speed of sixty kilometers per hour as well, and charged towards the battle armor.

“Heh heh, a beast is just a beast. A mere flesh-and-blood body, daring to contend with me head-on!”

The man inside the battle armor sneered, his greatsword already raised, just waiting to strike Su Yuan.

But suddenly, Su Yuan stopped mid-way and opened his mouth, spitting out a scorching white Laser Beam.

Compared to beasts, human intuition for danger was much poorer.

The man inside the battle armor had not anticipated this, and was hit in the head by the sudden Laser Beam, his invisible force field quickly collapsing.

Immediately, a burst of flames erupted.

“Warning, warning, battle armor has sustained Level 1 damage, force field defense offline...”

Inside the battle armor, a series of warnings sounded.

“Bastard! I’ll kill you!”

The battle armor man’s eyes turned red, filled with murderous intent. This battle armor, which he had only recently obtained from the organization, had actually suffered such significant damage.

“Full power operation, activate 100% mode!”

He roared, and the battle armor, receiving the command, began to glow all over.

The man inside the battle armor looked at Su Yuan with a sinister gaze, breaking through the water at an alarming speed and rushing over.

This speed was already close to one hundred kilometers per hour!

“So fast!”

Su Yuan frowned and once again unleashed a Laser Beam. The scorching white Laser Beam struck at light speed.

This time, however, the man inside the battle armor had already held his greatsword horizontally in front of him. The massive greatsword could almost block most of his body.

Su Yuan’s Laser Beam struck the greatsword but was reflected back, searing off one of Su Yuan’s tentacles!

Due to the terrifying speed of the Laser Beam, Su Yuan couldn’t react at all, and one of his tentacles was severed, spilling blue blood.

“A beast is just a beast! You don’t understand, do you!”

The man inside the battle armor shouted ferociously, suddenly rushing in front of Su Yuan and slashing down with his sword.

Su Yuan was very calm. In an instant, he ejected a large amount of ink, blackening the surrounding lake water.

He himself then suddenly shot out, avoiding the sword slash. At the same time, a tentacle reached out, instantly coiling around the battle armor. The sharp Claws pierced towards it, but emitted a piercing sound, failing to break through the battle armor’s defense.

“Seeking death!”

The man inside the battle armor snorted coldly. How could his battle armor be destroyed by the octopus in front of him!

He swung his sword, directly severing Su Yuan’s tentacle.

But the next moment, a scorching white Laser Beam shot over, once again striking the previously hit location.

A double strike directly penetrated the battle armor at the face.

Although this battle armor had extremely high technological content and its material was far superior to aircraft carriers and other warships, its thickness of special material was not high for flexibility, which is why Su Yuan’s two Laser Beams penetrated it.

“Die!”

Su Yuan emerged from the darkness, six tentacles wrapping around the battle armor. One of the tentacles, moreover, coiled around the battle armor’s face, and its fourteen-centimeter-long Claws pierced through, directly into the face of the man inside the battle armor!

The lake water rushed in, preventing the man inside the battle armor from speaking, but his ferocious expression already said it all.

He gripped the greatsword with both hands, his eyes incredibly cold, revealing a chilling murderous intent, and he suddenly slashed at Su Yuan.

“Black Light Shield!”

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed, and a black light curtain materialized on his body, protecting himself.

The man inside the battle armor’s expression changed; he hadn’t expected Su Yuan to still have a trump card.

The next moment, the greatsword struck.

The black light curtain shook violently, holding on for a few breaths of time, and finally shattered.

The man inside the battle armor sneered, controlling the battle armor, intending to cleave Su Yuan apart.

But Su Yuan’s two tentacles wrapped around the battle armor’s arms, and one tentacle powerfully slapped the side of the greatsword.

Under the triple action, the greatsword deviated from its position, severing one of Su Yuan’s tentacles and a small part of his body, with a large amount of blue blood flowing out.

However, Su Yuan’s super regenerative ability was also at work, and the wound was quickly stopping bleeding.

The man inside the battle armor’s face was cold, holding his breath, just about to continue attacking, but found that he was paralyzed all over at some unknown point, and the numbness was rapidly turning into severe pain.

“Poison!”

He quickly realized something, a hint of fear and anger flashing in his eyes, and then he quickly died.
