Mythical Era: My Electric Eel Clone Can Evolve Infinitely Chapter 28

River-Turning Rat!

The Lianjiang River was named after its meandering river course.

In a section of the river more than ten kilometers away from Quicksand Town, an electric eel with a body length of 1.8 meters appeared. It was covered in black hard scales, had two small bean-like eyes and was hiding in a seaweed. It was observing a shipwreck not far away with the Electric Field vision.

Judging from its design, the metal ship used to be a transport ship.

A few large words were written in red paint — Four Seas Chamber of Commerce: Quicksand Two.

It was obvious that this was the ship that sank into the Lianjiang River half a month ago and was allegedly filled with Sun Fruits.

A large number of exotic beasts were gathered around the sunken ship.

They either hit the ship's walls or bit the ship's hull, making a series of metallic sounds in the water. They wanted to burrow into the ship's hull.

These exotic beasts were somehow unable to get through. The transport ship was made of sturdy Level Three alloy, and it could block most of the attacks from the Level Three exotic beasts.

Even so, they kept trying. After more than half a month of continuous attacks, many parts of the ship had been torn apart, revealing the dark interior of the ship.

Looking at the shipwreck in front of him, the electric eel clone hid amidst the plantation without moving. It even arched the mud on the river bed and hid its body inside.

Not far away from the sunken ship, there were a few men in diving suits with oxygen tubes on their backs. They were slowly sinking down from the surface of the river.

The few of them held onto the wall of the river bank. Ripples spread out as they swam down bit by bit and landed behind a few large rocks.

One of the men hid behind the giant rock, not daring to move.

Judging from their auras and the way they strolled in the water, these men were at least Rank Two martial artists!

Although they were not weak, they were all looking at the metal shipwreck not far away with fear.

No, more specifically, they were being weary of a cave not far from the shipwreck.

Not long after, a giant rat lazily swam out of the cave.

The giant rat was about one meter long. It looked very small in this river filled with giant beasts. It was very pocket-sized, almost the size of a child.

The rat's fur was light blue and was dotted with white spots like the starry sky.

Its fur was dense, almost moving like silk. It sparkled in the river water that reflected the sunlight.

Upon closer inspection, Lingjun realized that there were strange spiritual patterns growing under the rat's fur.

These spirit patterns were mysterious and obscure, emitting a unique charm.

They were majestic, powerful, and ancient!

When the rat swam out of the cave, the exotic beasts that had been swimming around quietly in the surroundings instantly scattered in fear as if they were facing a great enemy!

At this moment, the rat's eyes flashed with glee.

It raised its right forelimb like a human, and the spirit runes on its body lit up one by one, emitting a majestic and powerful halo that made it impossible for people to look directly at it! This power turned into a giant water hand!

Not far away, a berserk centipede that was Level Two crawled the riverbed in fear. Suddenly it stopped moving, as if it had been imprisoned!

Then, the river water quickly condensed into a translucent giant hand!

The berserk centipede struggled wildly. Blue light flashed on its hundreds of legs, and ice blades scattered in all directions in an attempt to fight back. However, they were of no use at all.

On the contrary, the giant water hand only had to exert a little force to break the centipede apart!

The giant water hand grabbed the body of the centipede and glided to the rat. The rat let out a happy cry.

Then, with its one-meter-long body, it easily dragged the nearly three-meter-long berserk centipede into the cave.

Soon, crunching sounds came from inside, and red wisps spread out from the cave.

“That's a top tier mutated beast, it's a River-Turning Rat!”

Chu Lingjun looked at the rat in front of him, and his heart started beating rapidly!

There was a difference in strength between mutated beasts and exotic beasts.

Chu Lingjun could easily defeat Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi, both of whom were geniuses from Class Four.

Among exotic beasts of the same level, the River-Turning Rat's strength was considered top-notch!

Only those ancient creatures or mythical creatures could defeat the River-Turning Rat.

Ancient creatures such as Megalodon, Titanoboa, and the Overlord Croc might stand a chance. Mythical creatures such as the Water Qilin and the Aquatic Crystal Beast could go head-to-head. Chu Lingjun, a mere human, will not!

Chu Lingjun was speechless. He had never thought that such a powerful creature would appear in the Lianjiang River!

“Actually…”

Chu Lingjun looked at the men and the sunken ship not far away.

After the electric eel clone advanced to the Middle Stage Level One, the Electric Field and Discharge distance increased from 50 meters to 100 meters!

It was obvious that these men were heading toward the sunken ship.

It had been almost half a month since this ship sunk into the water. Why were there people still salvaging parts from it?

Did this mean that there were still treasures in the sunken ship?

Was it because the River-Turning Rat was coincidentally blocking the way that these people aren't able to loot the treasure?

Wasn't the Sun Fruit useless underwater? After being soaked in the water for such a long time, it might have lost its essence long ago!

However, the people of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had probably put special protection on the Sun Fruit, so it might not matter if it came into contact with water!

This was highly possible!

After all, they were going to be transported by water, so it was normal to use some waterproof measures on the items to protect it!

Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that there were other treasures on the ship that were rare!

The fact that so many exotic beasts had gathered in front of the sunken ship and were constantly trying to enter the ship was the best proof!

There was definitely some kind of heavenly treasure hidden inside the ship. The spiritual energy was dense, or else it wouldn't have attracted so many mutated beasts!

Thinking of this, Chu Lingjun's heart couldn't help but beat wildly!

His father, Chu Xingguo, was currently stuck at the 99 point vitality checkpoint and had been unable to make any progress for many years.

If he could obtain this Sun Fruit, his father would be able to break through and advance to a Rank Two martial artist after consuming it!

Once he became a Rank Two martial artist, his father would at least have the position of a squad leader. He could also fight for the position of a commander!

It didn't matter if it was some other treasure, as long as it brought value!

The more Chu Lingjun thought about it, the brighter his eyes lit up!

Moreover, the Sun Fruit could be very beneficial to him and Chu Yue!

He had to quickly investigate the situation in the sunken ship!

However, the River-Turning Rat was a huge trouble. Once it targeted him, the electric eel clone's small body would lose!

Chu Lingjun didn't need to be anxious!

The men in front of him were definitely more anxious than him!

Chu Lingjun only needed to wait patiently at the back and then take the opportunity to enter the ship to get the treasure or get a share of the loot while they were distracted!

Thinking of this, Chu Lingjun calmed down and ordered the electric eel clone to slowly retreat and leave the shipwreck.

He continued to hunt and eat so that he could advance to Level Two as soon as possible!
