72: Killing Intent

Su Yuan then looked at the evolution points.

“evolution points: 18888 / 10000” (Increasing through psionic consumption) (Evolvable)

“Not bad, I’ve accumulated over eighteen thousand evolution points.”

Su Yuan nodded. This time, because he consumed more than just Black Carp, he gained even more evolution points despite spending less time than yesterday.

“So, next up is evolution and then heading back. This commotion is quite significant; it should attract people from the Bureau of Flora and Fauna Administration.”

Su Yuan glanced at the Security Officers on the shore, entered his Camouflage state, and began to return.

Not long after, Su Yuan returned to the Underground Dark River.

As ten thousand evolution points disappeared, a mysterious Divine Power descended, and Su Yuan’s body once again began a drastic evolution.

In the dark Underground Dark River, time seemed to lose its meaning. No one knew how much time had passed.

A pair of giant eyes opened, a faint glimmer reflecting a terrifying silhouette, startling the surrounding creatures into panicked flight.

“I feel it, a new skill!”

Su Yuan said with a hint of excitement, his eight massive tentacles wildly flailing in response to his emotions.

“system panel!”

Su Yuan silently called out in his mind.

“evolution points: 8888 / 11000” (Increasing through psionic consumption)

“Perfect! This time, a speed skill appeared!”

Earlier, that mutated Giant Black Carp had given Su Yuan a slight headache.

After all, no matter how strong an attack was, if it couldn't hit the opponent, it was useless.

Fortunately, Su Yuan still had abilities that countered extremely fast enemies.

Whether it was the interference of Mind Whisper or the light-speed strike of Laser Beam, both could be considered banes to extremely fast creatures.

But now, he himself had acquired a speed skill, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced his range of abilities.

“Beginner Speed combined with Swift Travel, if that Mysterious Organization really comes for me...”

As Su Yuan thought, a cold smile appeared on his face.

“It’s time to go back.”

Su Yuan nodded, somehow feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart.

“What am I thinking, I don’t know anyone around here...”

Muttering to himself, Su Yuan’s expression darkened.

He immediately shot back along the path he came from.

“Whether in heaven or on earth, anyone who dares to touch my people will only find death!”

Su Yuan’s eyes turned cold. In this strange era of psionic resurgence, even the System had appeared; he dared not underestimate his intuition.

His possessions, no matter how insignificant, would not tolerate outside bullying!

...A majestic warship sailed on Dayang Lake.

“Sorry, if you don’t have any further intelligence, after one last patrol, we’ll have to withdraw.”

The Captain said to the people from the Intelligence Section and Field Operations Team of the Bureau of Flora and Fauna Administration beside him.

The Intelligence Section’s people looked grim. Their intuition told them the enemy was in the water, but the navy’s sonar hadn't detected any anomalies.

At the bottom of the lake, Ye Lang and Hei Zhu, clad in silver-white high-tech battle armor, watched the warship on the surface with mocking smiles.

They were arrogant, appearing openly directly beneath the warship, yet the warship remained completely unaware.

“Just old-era garbage. Whether it’s Rabbit Country, Eagle Sauce Country, or Bear Country... your era is over.”

“The future will ultimately belong to our organization!”

Hei Zhu said with a sarcastic tone.

“Stop talking to yourself. It’s been two days, where’s the Giant Octopus?”

Ye Lang interrupted coldly, holding the unconscious Chen Xu in his hand, one of his thighs covered in wounds from bloodletting...

After traversing the long Underground Dark River, Su Yuan finally returned to Dayang Lake.

As soon as he entered Dayang Lake, the dense Mental Energy autonomously surged into his body, making him feel a touch of comfort.

“Why does the Mental Energy in Dayang Lake feel even denser...”

Su Yuan was somewhat surprised, but his expression quickly turned cold, and a bone-chilling killing intent erupted from his eyes: “This is the scent of my Chief Eldest Disciple!”

“Online shopping... Mysterious Organization...”

Su Yuan’s thoughts raced, and he instantly understood the reason.

He knew that besides the state, only that Mysterious Organization had the ability to do this!

But it was impossible for the state to resort to such a low tactic!

Thus, the most likely possibility was only the Mysterious Organization!

“Very good. I wasn’t going to look for you, but you dare to touch my people instead!”

A monstrous killing intent rose in Su Yuan’s heart. Octopuses are territorial creatures, and their possessiveness over their belongings is very strong.

“Over here!”

Su Yuan quickly distinguished the direction of the strongest scent, and without activating his Camouflage state, he sped towards it.

“Captain, an unidentified underwater creature is approaching. Estimated body length is close to thirty meters, and its speed is extremely fast!”

Soon, a message came from the warship’s sonar room, invigorating everyone on the bridge.

“Good heavens! They deployed a submarine?!”

The group immediately thought of a submarine.

“It’s not a submarine. According to our analysis, its shape is more akin to an octopus!”

However, the sonar room quickly relayed another message.

“A Giant Octopus?! Excellent, it’s walking right into our trap!”

The warship’s Captain was first surprised, then said with a laugh.

“Captain Wu, something’s not right. This octopus clearly has astonishing intelligence. It’s been hiding from us for so long, yet now it’s actively approaching. This is definitely not right.”

“Everyone, think again about our objective for this outing.”

A middle-aged man from the Intelligence Section said.

“Are you saying? It thinks we captured that high school student?!”

“Who does it think it is?! Would we capture our own citizens?!”

The Captain, who knew a few things, frowned and said, his face flushed with anger.

“Captain Wu, it’s just an octopus. No matter how smart, it can’t possibly understand our culture and national social structure all at once.”

The Field Operations Team members chuckled.

“No matter what it thinks! Since it dares to show up, it won’t be leaving this time!”

Captain Wu said, also starting to notify the Bureau of Flora and Fauna Administration; the true combat orders still depended on them.

“Is there a possibility that it’s not coming for us?”

The Intelligence Section member who spoke first frowned and said.

“Impossible! Under sonar detection, we are the only large object present in the vicinity. There aren’t even any larger fish around.”

Captain Wu shook his head, stating it with certainty.

At the bottom of the lake, beneath the frigate, Hei Zhu suddenly chuckled and said, “Look, isn’t it here? It really is a loyal octopus. Don’t worry, you won’t be alone on the road to Reincarnation.”
