Evolve into a Dragon after Surviving a Nuclear Blast - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Dangerous Treasure

“F*ck, they’ve gone crazy, they’ve all gone crazy…”

He cursed viciously. Although he couldn’t do much to the attacks of the rats, Gray knew that there was no way for him to retreat.

Now, he could only fight to the death. Only by dying would he be able to retreat unscathed.

Accompanied by the loud sounds, the entire pit was once again filled with the sounds of intense battle.

Both sides were fighting back and forth, not caring about their losses. Every move was fatal.

Even Gray, who was a Level 6 mutated beast, was unable to withstand it..

“Ah!!!”

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck him. Gray could not help but raise his head up and roar. What happened was when Gray was not paying attention, a rat had used its claws to scratch his rather fragile eyes.

However, as a price, its entire body had been crushed by Gray’s mouth.

Being unable to care about the pain caused by the weak parts of its body, Gray could only continue to engage in endless battles.

“Kill, kill, kill…”

With an angry roar filled with killing intent, Gray once again charged into the bloody battlefield.

However, it was not certain if it was Gray’s misperception, in this endless battle, his martial arts had become increasingly fierce.

Along with it, his defensive ability had also become more and more rigorous.

Could this be due to his innate bloodline?

In the ancient his bloodline, he was born with the talent to fight. He was able to grow stronger and stronger in battle, and the bloodline talent that was carved into his bones: endless martial arts training.

And this should be considered good news for Gray under the current situation.

At least, he was able to use his various abilities more and more smoothly during the continuous battles.

However, although he longed to fight, the physical and mental fatigue gradually enveloped and engulfed his consciousness.

In a trance, Gray’s consciousness began to blur…

…

Time slowly passed by, but the shrill cries of the rats in the pit never stopped. The entire pit was filled with the thick smell of blood that would not dissipate even for a month.

The wrath of the Emperor had caused corpses to float thousands of miles away. Blood flowed like a river. This was an apt description of the current situation.

And in the depths of the pit, there were countless corpses lying there quietly. Some had lost their hands, some had lost their arms, some had no heads, and some had shriveled bodies…

One, two; there were indeed countless…

Even Gray himself had long forgotten how many mutated rats he had killed.

He only knew that since these rats had come to offend him with the intention of killing him, then none of them should think of leaving!

The low growls continued. And Gray, who was in the midst of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, slowly propped up his already numb body.

One hour?

No, maybe two hours, maybe even three hours…

He had no idea how long he had been fighting. It was no longer important. He was the one who had come out alive, not those d*mn rats!

Although he was exhausted, his muscles were swelling and aching, and there were wounds all over his body… He was still alive!

He had to be alive, too. Gray walked toward the deepest part of the pit with his exhausted body.

There was something there that was constantly attracting him. It was a treasure that could make him resonate with his bloodline.

It was precisely because this treasure was constantly stimulating his desire to fight that he was able to do so. He was not forced to back down even a little in the face of the situation.

…

“Ta, ta, ta…”

Step by step, Gray slowly climbed to his destination.

What entered his eyes was a diamond-shaped crystal that was emitting an emerald green light.

“This is?”

Looking at the green crystal in front of him, Gray couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

This lizard’s body had an instinctive desire for the crystal in front of him.

It was as if every cell in his body was telling him, “Gray, hurry up and eat it!”

Like a magic spell, Gray stepped forward step by step. He was subconsciously extremely tired, but he actually opened his mouth without hesitation and bit fiercely at the green crystal.

However, what Gray didn’t know was that not everything that was attractive to him could be eaten directly.

Just like the green crystal in front of him, it was a solid crystal that was the combination of countless nuclear radiation and that rare energy.

Even the group of ordinary mutated rats could only watch from afar, absorbing the scattered energy emitted by the crystal unconsciously. And he actually ate it directly.

“Ding dong, a huge amount of energy has been detected entering the host’s body. The system has forcefully activated the seventh evolution…”

“Roar!”

A shrill roar reverberated in the depths of the lifeless pit, but this terrifying roar was not heard by outsiders.

This was because this pit was dozens of meters deep.

As a result, Gray was alone in the pit, wailing in pain. However, this also increased his safety.

The reason why he said this was because based on Gray’s current condition, if a Level 2 mutated beast attacked, he wouldn’t be able to resist at all.

If other mutated beasts followed his howl and ambushed him, Gray would probably fall into an extremely dangerous state.

At that time, the system might force him to withdraw from evolution and wake him up. That would not be worth it.

Right now, Gray was in an extremely painful stage.

The pain filled his entire body. It was an unimaginable pain, as if his entire body was being torn apart. However, the more painful it was, the stronger the desire in his body became.

“Kacha, kacha…”

The sound of something breaking could be heard continuously. It was the remaining half of the emerald green crystal that Gray had swallowed into his stomach.

“Ding dong, a large amount of energy has been detected, initiating forced evolution…”

Vaguely, Gray seemed to have heard the system’s notification.

However, his consciousness became increasingly blurry.

“Am I going to die?”

At this moment, if there was a puddle, Gray would definitely notice that his entire body was suffused with a red hue.

It was as if he had been roasted.

Heat, an unimaginable burning sensation, enveloped his body.

“Ding dong, it has been detected that the host has absorbed a large amount of nuclear energy, and his body has begun to evolve with a super strong chemical reaction…”

“Ding dong, it has been detected that the host’s organs need to evolve in order to withstand the high temperature. Consumed 500 evolution points, forced evolution begins…”

…

System notifications kept ringing out one after another. Gray’s evolution points were also rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, at this moment, Gray, who had lost consciousness, felt the interior of his body slow down. It was as if something was about to be born. Even the unbearable burning sensation could no longer affect him.
