80: The underwater world deep in the underground river
You devoured a Saber-toothed Characin, gaining 6000 evolution points.
“Saber-toothed Characin? Is this also a Fanged Fish? I’ve never heard of this name before. Is it a rare Fanged Fish or an undiscovered species?”
Su Yuan muttered to himself, glancing at his system panel.
evolution points: 12566.3 / 13000 (Increasing through devouring psionic energy)
“Oh, I’m just a little bit away from evolving again.”
As Su Yuan muttered, he did not rashly dive deeper, stopping to rest here.
So far, he had encountered two powerful creatures in this deep pit, whose strength would certainly be formidable in Dayang Lake.
Of course, in reality, Su Yuan was still far from having truly explored Dayang Lake; perhaps there were still many powerful creatures within Dayang Lake.
However, the situation here had already exceeded Su Yuan’s expectations.
To be safe, Su Yuan needed to fully recover his body’s energy to face potential dangers in perfect condition.
Soon, Su Yuan had fully recovered.
“It’s time to continue down. Perhaps, this time I will make an astonishing discovery.”
Su Yuan thought to himself, continuing to dive down into the bottomless pit.
All eight of his tentacles were deployed, autonomously hunting the surrounding creatures.
You devoured a Cave Blindfish, gaining 0.8 evolution points.
You devoured a Closed-Eyed Fish, gaining 2.5 evolution points.
You devoured a Blind Shrimp, gaining 1.2 evolution points.
...As Su Yuan continued to dive, the evolution points on his system panel slowly increased.
Names he had never heard of occasionally appeared on the system panel.
Su Yuan guessed that some of the creatures here were likely undiscovered by humans to date.
Because, apart from him, with current human technology, it would be very difficult to venture into such an environment.
At the same time, Su Yuan also noticed that the concentration of psionic energy was slowly rising.
If a relevant scholar were here, they would certainly be ecstatic, but for Su Yuan, these small fish no longer satisfied him.
Only large schools of fish or powerful creatures could grant him more evolution points.
After diving an unknown distance, when the intense water pressure made Su Yuan somewhat uncomfortable, the surrounding environment began to change in the darkness.
Looking around, there was boundless darkness, as if he were outside the Universe, at the end of the world.
This place would definitely be Hell for those with thalassophobia and nyctophobia.
However, the psionic energy concentration here surpassed that of Dayang Lake, and some areas also showed some hazy points of light.
Su Yuan stared, with his Elementary perception, he could still see a certain range even here.
These hazy points of light were clearly unique creatures, their bodies possessing bioluminescent organs.
More importantly, this was no longer within the deep pit; the surrounding rock walls had disappeared here.
Looking around, it was an endless underwater world!
This seemed to be an Underground Dark River!
A fish resembling a Carp, about five meters long, had a pink glow on its tail, and its eyes were located on the back of its head.
Its mouth was also different from an ordinary Carp, with a larger gape and incisors like a rat’s.
Before long, a cylindrical creature, unable to resist the temptation, swam out of the darkness and fiercely bit at the glowing tail.
But just then.
The Carp-like creature suddenly turned its head, and its huge incisors instantly bit the cylindrical fish.
The enormous incisors seemed to have extremely strong biting power, instantly crushing the cylindrical fish’s head.
But just then, in the darkness, a terrifying tentacle stretched out, instantly coiling around this strange Carp-like fish.
The next moment, a hideous abyssal maw, faintly visible beneath the fish’s glowing tail, swallowed it whole.
You devoured an Incisor Carp, gaining 1180 evolution points.
You devoured a Silverline Pike, gaining 201 evolution points.
“Two more unfamiliar names,” Su Yuan muttered, then looked at the system panel again.
evolution points: 14000 / 13000 (Increasing through devouring psionic energy) (Evolvable)
As Su Yuan checked the system panel, a massive shadow slowly approached from below him in the darkness.
Just as it drew near, dozens of transparent tentacles suddenly swept over.
At this moment, Su Yuan’s heart tightened. Seeing dozens of tentacles, tens of meters long, he instantly unleashed a brilliant white Laser Beam from his mouth, severing these dozens of tentacles and splitting the attacking creature in half!
Only then did Su Yuan realize that this creature resembled a jellyfish, and its size was considerable, estimated to be over twenty meters long, not including the dozens of tentacles, each tens of meters long.
Just as Su Yuan was about to swim over and devour it, this extremely dark water illuminated by Su Yuan’s Laser Beam, became agitated.
Due to the light stimulation, some ancient creatures began to stir.
An ancient-looking giant fish, appearing to be covered in a thick layer of armor, with tiny eyes, charged from a distance.
Su Yuan noticed the commotion, looked over, and was startled.
This giant fish was astonishingly large, estimated to be over forty meters long, and incredibly robust, looking even more imposing than the Megalodon in movies.
Its mouth was filled with massive, bone-blade-like teeth, thick and sharp, appearing to be indestructible.
“Is this a Dunkleosteus?!” Su Yuan exclaimed in his heart.
The Dunkleosteus, a prehistoric monster even older than dinosaurs, is well-known as the overlord of its era.
There are many theories regarding the length of this ancient monster, but none suggest it could reach the size of the one before him.
Furthermore, Dunkleosteus are marine creatures, so the Dunkleosteus before him was clearly affected by the psionic energy resurgence.
The Dunkleosteus, a monster renowned for its terrifying biting force, Su Yuan did not want to be bitten by that dreadful mouth.
He noticed the Dunkleosteus’s tiny eyes and immediately spewed black ink, completely blackening the water.
He then quickly burst away, hiding in the distance, just about to enter a camouflaged state.
But at this moment, two lights lit up behind him—no, these were the eyes of a giant beast, incredibly large.
Su Yuan keenly sensed something amiss. Without looking back, he immediately activated Swift Travel, spurting water to propel himself away.
At the same time, a massive reddish-brown pincer landed where Su Yuan had been, causing the water to churn.
“My goodness, such a huge crab! It must taste delicious!” Su Yuan turned around and realized it was a colossal crab!
This crab was also estimated to be over forty meters long, entirely reddish-brown, and covered in steel-needle-like bristles. Its huge eyes stared at Su Yuan, with a faint red glow flickering within them.
Su Yuan was startled; a chill ran down his spine at that moment, and his body issued a warning. He immediately burst away again, leaving his original position.
The next moment, two crimson beams blasted over, shooting towards where Su Yuan had been.
“A Dunkleosteus is one thing, being an overlord of the ancient era, but you, a mere crab, dare to be so arrogant!”
Su Yuan’s gaze was cold. He immediately unleashed a powerful burst of energy, spitting a brilliant white Laser Beam that blasted out and struck one of the giant crab’s eyes, piercing it through.
Then, Su Yuan controlled the Laser Beam to sweep across, severing its other eye!
