Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast Chapter 148 – Chapter 148: Chapter 124: Electric Ray, World Rift

Chapter 148: Chapter 124: Electric Ray, World Rift

Translator: 549690339

At 4 p.m., in the reading room, Jack Clark was quietly flipping through the fifth volume of the Mutated Beast Encyclopedia.

In recent years, there have been too many mutated creatures appearing globally, with varying strengths. Some of them can even be domesticated and bred like pigs and sheep in the past.

Currently, one of the largest types of mutated beasts being raised is the mountain woolly pig, mutated from the previous mountain black pig.

After mutating, the size of these creatures is several times larger than before. They can basically grow to two tons when they reach adulthood, with a high meat output rate and can be fed with just forage and plants.

However, even a creature this size, with a not so bloodthirsty and violent temperament, can unleash terrifying power when slightly angered. It is not something ordinary people can raise.

As a result, large-scale breeding groups usually rent more than a dozen mountains and employ cultivators with Second or Third Layer abilities to manage the farm.

This is also one of the places where ordinary cultivators with average cultivation talents, who only reach the Second Layer upon high school graduation and lack the courage to fight, can go.

Of course, Jack Clark would not become a breeder.

He is looking at these common mutated beast materials to find devouring targets for his Avatar's fourth evolution.

Although the Sword Armor Flame Beast has already acquired an “energy”-type talent in advance, its fire ability is mediocre in the sea, and its explosive damage is not very powerful.

Besides, who would complain about having too many abilities?

Jack Clark is very cautious about his Avatar's fourth evolution absorbing ability, as this is related to the future fighting power of the Sword Armor Flame Beast among mutant beasts of the same level.

Any mutated beast that can evolve to Level 7 or above is very powerful, and at least has two or more talents.

As Jack Clark was quietly reading, a warm current appeared in his body, constantly blending into his body and strengthening his flesh.

The Sword Armor Flame Beast had made some progress in half a day of cultivation earlier, and had gone hunting. At this moment, the warm currents emerging in his body were the feedback from the growth of the mutated beast.

This connection, Jack believes, should be related to their shared “soul.”

As “souls” from the same source, no matter how far apart they are, Jack and his Avatar's consciousness and perspective are always synchronized, and there is no delay.

It's like there is a twist in time and space between the two.

And those “evolutionary” energies that appear out of thin air in his body are flowing through the “channel, fold” between their two souls.

This also explains why he can “synchronize” his strengthening and why neither his cultivation method nor the Avatar's talent can be shared, because the channel only allows evolutionary energy to pass through.

Of course, these are just Jack's guesses. Even the attribute page does not have detailed notes on his soul talent.

Suddenly, Jack's gaze paused, landing on the pages of the book in his hands.

[Electric Ray, a common Level 1-2 Variant Beast, the largest known body length is seven meters, 0.5 meters thick, presumably mutated from the electric eels of the old era.

It has been found in some mountain streams and rivers in Long White Mountain. It can release powerful electric shocks instantaneously, posing a threat in the water no less than a common Level 3 Mutant Beast]

“Long White Mountain, huh.”

Jack pondered and noted down the location where this mutated beast appeared, remembering that Long White Mountain was one of the clearing mission points after the new year.

With the addition of the Electric Ray, Jack has temporarily confirmed four targets for now.

The other three targets are the Level 3 Mutant double-headed mutated ice python with ice abilities, the Level 3 Mutant Illusion White Fox with tail illusion abilities.

In addition, there is a Level 3 Mutant Earth Black Bear, which has the talent to twist the surrounding gravity several meters away, forming force fields.

They represent ice, illusion, electric shock, and gravity, respectively.

Of course, due to their levels, these mutant beasts' abilities are not very strong. But this is not important for Jack.

What he values is the characteristics of these abilities.

As long as the Sword Armor Flame Beast can devour these abilities and transform them into talents, he can later enhance them to a terrifying extent through attribute strengthening.

Busy times always pass quickly. Although it is winter vacation at school, Jack spends each day very fulfilling.

Every day he is either cultivating or looking up information while simultaneously controlling the Sword Armor Flame Beast to hunt mutated creatures. Both his main body and Avatar are steadily growing.

In such a situation, a few days blink past quickly.

At 5 p.m., accompanied by melodious bell sound, Freya Louise, who was immersed in the scriptures' artistic conception, raised her head and sighed, “Another day has passed.”

“Yes.” Jack nods.

The girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said quietly, “Since we got back, 1 feel like my spirit and thoughts have become much lazier.”

“It's normal. After all, this is not the chaotic Koroya, where we don't need to be tense all day long.”

With that, the two got up together, returned the borrowed books to their original positions, and took the elevator out of the teaching building with a few scattered classmates who were also reading.

Walking in the campus, Jack noticed that, unknowingly, red lanterns and colorful lights were hung on the roadside tree branches and streetlights, full of festive atmosphere.

Freya Louise looked forward with anticipation and said, “There are seven days left before the New Year. 1 heard that there will be lantern exhibitions along the Mist River from the Lunar New Year's Eve to the 15th day of the first month.”

“In addition, there will be a grand fireworks show on the evening of the 28th before the New Year. Many fireworks manufacturers from surrounding cities will participate, and it will be very beautiful.”

After saying this, the girl turned to look at Jack Clark, her bright eyes flickering slightly.Jack Clark understood her meaning, and couldn't help but laugh lightly, “I don't know if this year's lantern festival will be good, want to go together?”

The girl's eyes were filled with a smile, and she nodded gently, “Okay, we can call the Class Leader and the others then.”

Jack Clark paused slightly,”… Yeah, the more people the merrier.”

While talking, the two of them walked out of the school campus.

Following the familiar road towards home, they didn't part ways until the daily separation point where Freya waved lightly before turning to walk down another street.

Standing at the red light intersection, Jack Clark watched the girl's figure disappear in the distance, feeling a strange sense of youth and campus life, as if the Mutated Beasts and Avatars were just illusions.

Chatting with a beautiful female student every day, making plans to go to the lantern festival and watch fireworks together… Suddenly, Jack Clark's eyes narrowed.

Three hundred meters below the dark sea, the Sword Armor Flame Beast, which had originally been lying on the sea floor practicing the Hidden God Method, raised its head abruptly, shock in its cold, vertical pupils.

Only to see hundreds of meters ahead of it, limitless Heavenly Energy gushed out like a torrent, the pure Heavenly Energy causing the surrounding sea water to boil.

Under the impact of the dense energy, the sea water within a range of several hundred meters became incredibly pure and clear, as if it were the sweetest spring water in the world.

The Sword Armor Flame Beast took a breath from a hundred meters away, feeling its body brimming with strength and energy.

At this moment, the gap where Heavenly Energy was pouring out continued to expand, a blue light slowly appearing on the pitch-black sea floor, as a rift resembling a gate gradually opened.

The rift was more than three meters in length and half a meter wide, appearing as if it connected to another world – not an ocean, but an ice-covered plain.

Bang! Right at this moment, the sea within a ten-kilometer radius exploded with turbulence, and countless species of marine life swarmed towards this spot.

Among these sea creatures were large Mutated Sharks and Sea Pythons, as well as ordinary small fish and shrimp the size of palms, all rushing madly towards the rift.

However, not everyone could handle the depths of more than three hundred meters.

Many small fish and shrimp were crushed by the water pressure halfway down, while only those mutated organisms with a size larger than a few meters could swim down.

Among them, leading the charge was an eight-meter-long, mutated bigmouth shark whose entire body was covered with black scales, its tail frantically swaying as it lunged towards the rift.

Within just a few breaths, it had charged down from above, only to…

Bang! The sea water burst open, with the Mutated Shark smashing head-first into the rift, its skull broken and bleeding, and the Sword Armor Flame Beast even hearing the sound of bones cracking through the water.

That rift seemed to be right across, but appeared to be separated from this world by some kind of barrier, with only invisible Heavenly Energy able to pass through.

This could be seen from the fact that seawater was churning around the rift, yet not a single drop could seep through.

Unfortunately, this was only noticed by the Sword Armor Flame Beast, while those mutated creatures without much intelligence went on a frenzy, madly charging at the rift.

Bang Bang Bang Bang!!

Suddenly, the sea floor was filled with the sound of collisions, with many fast but not strong enough mutated fish being killed directly by the shockwaves.

And those mutated fish who didn't make it across refused to give up.

After regaining their senses, the ordinary mutated fish started to swarm, and within the blink of an eye, a fish ball with a diameter of over a hundred meters formed at the bottom of the sea.

During the madness, many weaker mutated fish were crushed to death, their bodies bursting and a thick stream of blood spreading, mixed with numerous corpses sinking down.

This madness lasted for more than ten minutes, and then the Sword Armor Flame Beast felt the 'amount' of Heavenly Energy pouring out in front of it constantly weakening.

Finally, just like how it had appeared suddenly, the rift suddenly disappeared.

This scene left the Sword Armor Flame Beast pondering, and it roughly understood now why the deeper the ocean, the denser the Heavenly Energy present.

Compared to the land, which could be controlled, the ocean occupies a much larger area, which naturally means the appearance of more rifts leading to the mythical world.

It might even be possible that there are stable passages connecting to the mythical world beneath the 10,000-meter deep sea.

Subconsciously, the Sword Armor Flame Beast thought of the Deep Sea Forbidden Zone, where gigantic creatures, as big as mountains and their terrifying strength, made humans feel at a loss.

With their size and strength, the normal ocean world simply could not support them unless…

At this moment, with the disappearance of the world rift in front of them, the mad mutated fish slowly started to calm down.

Then, some mutated sharks, squid, and other fierce creatures, whose bodies were eight meters or ten meters in length and stood higher in the food chain, looked at the densely packed food surrounding them, their eyes filled with ferocity.

Only they didn't see that in the distance, a black and red mutated beast, resembling a deep-sea demon dragon, slowly rose up, releasing a sudden surge of ferocity in an instant.

Roar! With a violent roar, the sea water exploded, and in an instant, the Sword Armor Flame Beast burst into the sea, like a black light charging into the group of mutated fish.

Every time its double claws fell, they would blast the skull of a mutated beast larger than five meters, and every time its black and slender tail swayed, it would pierce right through a mutated fish.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen enormous mutated fish had been killed.

As for the suddenly appeared rift, it held no use to the Sword Armor Flame Beast, but the mutated fish attracted by the rift were like food served on a silver platter.

Faced with this gift from nature, it would naturally not hold back.

In just a few minutes, the water in this area turned a bloody red, with the corpses of dozens of mutated fish larger than five meters floating and sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Amidst the dead mutated fish, a grotesque black-red mutated beast grabbed a mutated fish with each claw, happily devouring it with big bites..
