Chapter 383 - Transforming into a Dragon
Chapter 383 Transforming into a Dragon
After Chu Ze finished talking to Chu Ying, he returned to the water.
He communicated with the system for a while when he was at the bottom of the water just now. The system had guaranteed Chu Ze that he would be able to transform into a divine dragon after he reached level 100. Perhaps there was still a chance that he could change his form at will like other Evolver.
There was sufficient energy in the river, so Chu Ze decided to evolve to level 100 in the river.
Chu Ze was now above level 90, and his devour energy could no longer keep up with his consumption. After each evolution, he had to stop and wait for the energy to replenish. However, just as Chu Ze was evolving, the Liquid Monster extended its tentacles into the river.
The Liquid Monster, which was originally unable to absorb the spiritual power in the river, could now absorb it after it evolved a few times. Its leveling speed was now even faster than Chu Ze’s.
Moreover, white fur had grown on the Liquid Monster’s body. If Chu Ze saw it, he would definitely be able to recognize immediately that the white fur was the mycelium.
It seemed that the Liquid Monster did not reject anything at all. No matter what it was, it would fuse into its body.
It also fused the substances in the river that were not good for the human body directly into its body.
These substances were harmful to others but were good for the Liquid Monster. It directly collected these substances and when the time came, it could be used as a means of attack.
Just as Chu Ze was leveling up to level 99, the system sent a notification to Chu Ze.
[Attention, Host. It will take three days for level 99 to reach level 100. Please be prepared.]
As it was said that the last level up would take three days, Chu Ze decided to go up first to check on the situation. He would come back later for the last level up if there was anything.
But when Chu Ze reached the river surface, he was dumbfounded.
The entire riverbed had turned gray, and Chu Ying and Li Manman were nowhere could be seen.
Chu Ze carefully observed the riverbed and found it occupied by a kind of gray mycelium.
“System, help me check what this gray mycelium is.”
After Chu Ze had evolved so many times, the system had also upgraded several times. The functions of the system had now increased a lot compared with the past.
After scanning, the system said, “These mycelia are from the Pioneer branch. However, these mycelia seem to have been infected by something. Moreover, they are controlled.”
Chu Ze looked across the river and saw the huge shield. He said in surprise, “Isn’t it Liquid Monster? Why is it here?”
“Hmm, but it doesn’t matter. The instructor and the others should be able to deal with the Liquid Monster. They don’t need me.”
At this moment, the system’s reminder came again. (Please don’t take it lightly, Host. The level of this Liquid Monster now is not lower than yours. And its combat power is even higher than yours. Please speed up the evolution.)
Chu Ze was now at level 99, and his combat power was already higher than Baili Chengfeng’s. If the level of this Liquid Monster was higher than Chu Ze’s, then it would definitely be higher than Baili Chengfeng’s.
After listening to the system’s words, Chu Ze directly dived into the river and began evolving.
According to the system, level 100 was a limit. Not everyone could reach level 100. However, Chu Ze did not have such a bottleneck with the system’s support. He only needed to evolve.
Chu Ze decided to level up to level 100 first, and then defeat this Liquid Monster.
Not long after Chu Ze began to evolve, the Liquid Monster started to move. At this time, the Liquid Monster had already reached level 100.
The bottleneck that the system mentioned did not happen to the Liquid Monster. The Liquid Monster rushed directly to level 100.
When Madman arrived, he also recognized that it was the Liquid Monster. And based on Baili Chengfeng’s investigation, the Liquid Monster was in the process of evolving.
The instructor and the others had tried to attack the Liquid Monster to interrupt its evolution. However, they were unable to break the Liquid Monster’s shield with their strength.
Now that the Liquid Monster had completed its evolution, it was its turn to attack.
Just as the Liquid Monster appeared, it put tremendous pressure on all the Pioneers.
Chu Ying and Li Manman joined hands to release a skill. However, it was directly swallowed by the Liquid Monster. It did not have any effect at all.
If it weren’t for Baili Chengfeng’s speed, Chu Ying and Li Manman would have been swallowed by the Liquid Monster.
The Liquid Monster’s movement speed wasn’t very fast, but its attack speed was. And its movement was stealthy.
The Pioneers were defeated by the Liquid Monster directly.
On the third day, the Pioneers had retreated into the town. If it weren’t for Guang Yu and his men fighting together with the Pioneers, the Pioneers would have failed to hold on.
When Chu Ze rushed to the battlefield, the Pioneers were on the verge of collapse.
“What’s the matter with you guys? How did you get beaten up so badly?” When the instructor saw Chu Ze, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. “You came so late. I thought I couldn’t see you anymore. Hurry up and help.”
Chu Ze directly rushed up to fight the Liquid Monster.
When the Liquid Monster saw Chu Ze, its heart trembled. It felt a special kind of pressure from Chu Ze.
The Liquid Monster then began to retreat. Chu Ze directly chased after it.
However, Chu Ze didn’t notice that a lot of mycelia were left on the ground when the Liquid Monster retreated.
Chu Ze stepped on the mycelium when chasing after the Liquid Monster. When the mycelium went through Chu Ze’s legs, it entered Chu Ze’s body.
After chasing for a while, Chu Ze found himself getting weaker. The Liquid Monster then turned around and smiled at Chu Ze.
“It’s my turn now. I’ve almost devoured the energy in your body.”
Then, the Liquid Monster suddenly turned into an overwhelming liquid and rushed toward Chu Ze.
Seeing the situation, Chu Ze knew that he couldn’t fight head-on. If he was covered by the liquid, it would be horrendous!
In the blink of an eye, Chu Ze transformed into the Suanni form. In this form, Chu Ze’s speed was the fastest.
He rushed towards the river, planning to use the river water to replenish his energy.
This time, Chu Ze went a little askew. He didn’t return to where he was. Instead, he rushed to the bridge that Baili Chengfeng discovered.
That bridge was over a thousand meters high now. Chu Ze didn’t notice it before, but now he did.
In fact, it was the system that had deliberately led Chu Ze towards the bridge.
(Hurry up and run towards the Dragon Gate. As long as you jump over the Dragon Gate, you’ll be able to defeat the Liquid Monster.]
After rushing into the river, Chu Ze looked at the tall Dragon Gate in front of him and didn’t know what to do.
The system promptly reminded Chu Ze: [Change into your original form, that is the goldfish, and then jump over. I’ll help you.] Chu Ze, who had changed into the goldfish form, retreated a distance and then jumped with all his might. However, he had been devoured by the Liquid Monster and could not exert any strength at all. He only managed to jump half of the distance to the Dragon Gate.
Just as Chu Ze thought that he was going to fall, a surge of energy suddenly surged out of his body.
At this moment, the system’s laughter rang out.
[The energy that I had hidden previously has finally come in handy.)
The system used up all the hidden energy. This time, Chu Ze smoothly rushed up to the Dragon Gate.
Chu Ze, who was originally a little goldfish, directly transformed into a divine dragon after crossing the Dragon Gate.
This wasn’t a transformation that was within Chu Ze’s control. Moreover, after transforming into a divine dragon, Chu Ze realized that he seemed not able to return to his previous form.
However, a transformation option appeared in the skill list. Chu Ze’s consciousness gently touched the transformation option.
At this moment, he was still a little nervous. But in the next moment, he had transformed into a human form.
Chu Ying and Li Manman, who saw Chu Ze transform back into a human form from afar, burst into tears instantly.
Chu Ze, who had transformed back into a human form, slowly floated down from the sky and landed in front of the Liquid Monster.
The Liquid Monster had wanted to escape, but he found his body could not move at all.
A golden light shot out from Chu Ze’s eyes. The Liquid Monster melted into a real liquid and then blended into the soil.
The melted Liquid Monster turned into fertilizer nourishing the soil.
Small yellow flowers bloomed in the area eroded by the mycelium, emitting a faint fragrance. Chu Ze floated to Chu Ying and Li Manman’s side and said softly, “I’m back.”
From then on, Chu Ze led all the people of China to the path of cultivation.
