67: Use Whisper of the Mind on a Human

“I can evolve now! Let’s evolve first!”

Su Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he returned to the Underground Dark River.

For him, humans were far more dangerous than other Mutated Creatures. The further away he was from humans when evolving, the safer he would be.

As 6,000 evolution points vanished, the System’s immense power descended, and Su Yuan’s body once again began to undergo massive changes… On the riverbank, four fishermen had just climbed up from the ground when they saw the river water churning wildly, with bubbles rising.

The four of them vaguely saw a huge shadow beneath the surface, as if some astonishing giant beast was battling underwater.

“Splash!”

Suddenly, a section of a terrifying tentacle shot out of the water, raising many splashes.

“Oh my god! There’s a monster!”

The four were startled, their eyes wide, and they quickly turned and ran… In the dark underground river, a pair of deep, dark eyes suddenly opened, and eight dark, slender giant shadows moved, startling countless fish and shrimp away.

“Rank 22!”

Su Yuan glanced at his panel.

“Intermediate Claws, that’s not bad, it’s the ability I use most frequently.”

Su Yuan extended a tentacle and placed it before his eyes. He saw terrifying Claws, each twenty-one centimeters long, gleaming with a metallic luster.

“Let’s try it!”

Su Yuan looked at a nearby rock, and his tentacle reached out. The twenty-one-centimeter-long Claws, like alloy daggers, sliced through the rock as if it were tofu.

This seemed similar to Beginner Claws, but Su Yuan still noticed subtle differences.

“Ordinary rock alone makes it difficult to test the difference between the two, but the battle armor of that Mysterious Organization should be enough!”

A cold glint appeared in Su Yuan’s eyes. Attacking him suddenly and causing him nearly fatal injuries could not be dismissed with the life of just one person.

Even if that Mysterious Organization didn't come looking for him, he would find a way to seek them out!

But for now, the most important thing was to continue growing.

Thinking this, Su Yuan returned to the river.

The surrounding resources were abundant. The schools of fish that had fled during his battle with the Giant Black Carp had returned.

However, Su Yuan looked up at the riverbank.

He saw a large, boisterous crowd approaching, led by the four fishermen from before, along with people from the Public Security Office.

“Are you sure you saw a long monster here?”

A Security Officer asked again.

“Absolutely. All four of us saw it. It’s not possible that we all had hallucinations, and the same hallucination at that!”

The fisherman immediately said.

“Alright. Don’t get too close, keep your distance!”

The Security Officers nodded, then began to tell the surrounding people to step back; there were simply too many onlookers.

Many people were curious about this so-called monster, of course, this was also because they trusted the Security Officers to protect their safety.

After telling the onlookers to step back, several Security Officers looked at each other. A middle-aged man stepped forward and said, “I’m good at swimming. I’ll go down and take a look. You all provide support from the side.”

“A Li, have you forgotten the notice we recently received? Don’t be reckless. We’ll report it and get some equipment over here. Let drones help us investigate the situation in the river.”

A Security Officer said.

“By the time the equipment arrives, the day will be over. You all know how good I am at swimming. That’s settled, just keep an eye out.”

The middle-aged Security Officer named A Li finished speaking, took off his clothes, and jumped into the river.

In this summer, even the river water in the early morning was not cold.

After A Li jumped into the river, he felt all the hairs on his body stand on end, and an inexplicable chill swept through his limbs.

He quickly looked around and immediately widened his eyes.

Because, in his sight, giant fish after giant fish swam past.

“Are those Black Carp? They must be three meters long! And are those Bighead Carp? Their body length is also close to three meters!”

A Li was somewhat dumbfounded. Although these large fish were not numerous, they were abnormally large, and not just isolated cases.

This immediately reminded him of the special regulations recently issued by his superiors.

“No, I can’t stay here!”

A Li confirmed that this river now fully corresponded to the special regulations, and immediately began to swim towards the bank.

But the next moment, his hairs stood on end, and a chill ran down his spine.

He turned his head and saw a Mandarin Fish, about two meters long, charging towards him with its blood-red mouth wide open!

This made A Li’s soul leap out of him, and he frantically swam towards the bank.

“Something’s happening! Fire!”

The Security Officers standing on the bank also saw a huge shadow rapidly approaching A Li, who had already surfaced.

Their nerves immediately tensed, and they quickly aimed at the shadow and began to open fire.

However, the Mandarin Fish maintained a distance of about one meter from the surface, so their attacks were largely ineffective.

The next moment, the Mandarin Fish’s huge mouth had bitten A Li’s foot and, with a sudden burst of strength, it plunged towards the riverbed!

“A Li!”

The faces of the Security Officers present changed drastically, and they no longer cared about anything else, all jumping into the water.

But with their speed, they naturally couldn’t catch up to the Mandarin Fish, and they had already lost sight of it.

“Tsk tsk, trying to be brave without the ability.”

Su Yuan looked at the Mandarin Fish that had run to his side, his expression strange: “It seems your life isn’t meant to end yet.”

Su Yuan looked at the unconscious Security Officer A Li, a wicked smile appearing. “Anyway, you’re unconscious, let me try the effect of this skill on humans: ‘When the stars align, I shall awaken from my slumber!’”

Su Yuan made this sentence, using Mind Whisper, resound in A Li’s mind.

The next moment, a terrifying tentacle abruptly appeared, instantly wrapped around the Mandarin Fish, and with a gentle shake, the Security Officer’s body was flung away.

The next moment, a giant abyss-like maw appeared, swallowing the Mandarin Fish in one gulp.

【You devoured a Mandarin Fish and gained 38 evolution points.】
