79: Evolution is complete!

Recently, a very strange thing happened at Changdong River.

For some unknown reason, the entire Changdong River Basin was covered in bloodstains, and villagers along the river would occasionally find animal remains on the banks.

These animal remains were also very peculiar.

There were rat legs as big as human legs.

There were rotten Grass Carp two to three meters long.

There were even remains of crayfish bigger than dogs!

This series of events once again caused an uproar in public opinion, which had just begun to calm down.

The authorities had already dispatched experts and the army to control the entire Changdong River.

Although very little news leaked out, there were still many videos and pictures uploaded online.

The entire Jiangnan Province, and even the whole country, was paying attention to the Changdong River Basin in Binhai City.

All sorts of theories emerged on the internet.

Various trending topics also soared.

#Large Number of Animal Remains Found in Changdong River Basin, with Large Amount of Blood Detected in River Water!#

#It is rumored that a twenty to thirty-meter long scarlet Giant Python previously appeared in the Changdong River Basin!#

#Authorities Have Dispatched Army to Seal Off Changdong River!#

#...#

Internet celebrities, self-media, and even some official sources began to report on it eagerly.

“What the hell is going on? Someone isn’t killing people and dumping bodies in the Changdong River, are they?!”

“No, I heard that most of them are animal remains, and no human bodies have been found. It should be related to the Python eating people case that happened in Binhai City before. Maybe it was that Internet Celebrity Blood Python that did it!”

“Have you heard? Something seems to have happened in Southeast Asia too, where a Da E over ten meters long appeared and ate dozens of people!!”

“Holy cow, is that true?!”

“Rumor has it—”

“…”

Binhai City Command Center.

Cui Jiangong had been losing a lot of hair these past few days.

The Internet Celebrity Blood Python had not been caught, there was no progress in the animal eating people case at Chengnan Vegetable Market, and now the situation at Changdong River was becoming increasingly serious.

Now all the forces in Binhai City had been concentrated in the Changdong River Basin, but they still couldn't figure out where those animal remains came from!

‘Knock, knock, knock!’

Just then, the office door was knocked.

“Come in,” Cui Jiangong called out weakly.

Then, a valiant female police officer walked in.

“Chief, all the agents who entered Binhai City have disappeared, especially the people from Fusang, dozens of them, all vanished,” Zhao Liping said, saluting Cui Jiangong.

“All disappeared?”

Cui Jiangong rubbed his temples, then said, “Forget it, don’t worry about it. You also help investigate the Changdong River side.”

“Chief, I suspect that the agents from Fusang and Lighthouse might all have been…”

“Hmm? Do you have evidence?”

“No…”

“Then don’t worry about it, go investigate Changdong River.”

“Chief, the Lighthouse agents should have died by the mouth of that Internet Celebrity Blood Python, and all the Fusang people died at Xinyang Reservoir,” Zhao Liping added.

“Xinyang Reservoir? What were they doing there?” Cui Jiangong asked, somewhat confused.

“I don’t know either, but there are rumors online that large beast roars have been frequently heard from Xinyang Reservoir recently. I originally wanted to investigate, but I was stopped by people from Wang Corporation.”

“So, I want to apply for a search warrant from you, Chief.”

After a pause, Cui Jiangong said, “I can’t give you a search warrant. You know the contributions Wang Corporation has made to this city. If we forcibly search Xinyang Reservoir, I’m afraid it will discourage the public. You find a way yourself first. If you really get any evidence, then apply for a search warrant.”

“Yes, Chief!”

Zhao Liping saluted, then turned and left the office.

Afterward, Cui Jiangong took out his phone and made a call.

“Hello, Old Brother Wang, haha, nothing much, I just heard you’ve been staying at Xinyang Reservoir recently. Is something going on? Do you need me to send someone to help you?”

“Oh, it’s good if nothing’s wrong. Let me know if something comes up!”

After a while, the office door was knocked again.

A man in a black trench coat walked in from outside. An eagle pattern was embroidered on his chest. After entering, he saluted Cui Jiangong and said at the same time:

“Chief, Wang Zhen from the Mysterious Investigation Bureau is here to report!!”

Cui Jiangong immediately looked excited!

He even stood up directly.

“Hahaha, good, Little Wang, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, and you’re finally here!!” Cui Jiangong excitedly grabbed the black-clad man’s hand.

“Chief, let’s start working quickly. There are strict orders from above.”

“Okay, I’ll take you to see.”

...Xinyang Reservoir.

In the Stalactite Cave Dwelling, illuminated by a luminous pearl with a green glow, Wang Mang slowly woke up… ‘Hoo…’

This evolution indeed took a bit long, eleven hours.

But it was very comfortable.

It was like having a wonderful sleep, feeling incredibly refreshed all over.

Shaking his body, Wang Mang was surprised to find that both his body length and strength had greatly increased!

And it seemed like another golden, shimmering scale had appeared on his tail!

“System, refresh personal information panel!”

Wang Mang immediately thought to himself.

He was already eager to see the specific effects after this evolution!

The next second, as a flurry of snowflakes flashed before his eyes, the refreshed information panel appeared before him… [System: Infinite Devouring Evolution (One-Star)]

…He quickly scanned the refreshed personal information interface.

Wang Mang was now a Level 12 Blood Python!

And more importantly, he was about to begin Epic Evolution—

However, it seemed he still needed two more demon cores to start Epic Evolution?

Wang Mang let out a long breath.

No wonder it was an Epic Evolution; it really was a bit difficult!

He had thought one demon core would be enough.

Unexpectedly, he needed a total of three?

But Wang Mang was not discouraged by this; instead, he became even more excited!

The harder the Epic Evolution, wouldn't that mean he would become even stronger after evolving?

It’s just three demon cores, isn’t it?

Just do it!
