Chen Chu was sure that there must be some secret in this cave that was deep under the sea and gave birth to the mutated Tiger-Head Fish School.
Now that the most powerful Tiger-Head Fish had been killed by it, it was ready to go in and take a look.
As the sword lizard swam into the cave, the dark red coral inside became more and more. At the same time, the water temperature also rose. After going a thousand meters deep, the seawater was no different from boiling water.
The sword lizard felt that it could still withstand the boiling water of 100 degrees Celsius, but the five-meter-long Tiger-Head Fish in front of it could no longer withstand it.
The Tiger-Head Fish were hiding in a corner, not daring to move forward or go out. They were in a dilemma.
When he saw the Sword Lizard's huge body that had grown to 38 meters, he shrunk into a corner and shivered.
After all, even their invincible king had been eaten by this monster.
The sword lizard glanced at the Tiger-Head Fish. Seeing that they were about to go extinct, it didn't eat them and continued to swim into the cave.
When they were 1,800 meters deep into the cave, the surrounding dark red coral had already turned into red crystals. The red light on the surface shone, illuminating the cave and emitting an even higher temperature.
Under such high temperature, the seawater kept bubbling and boiling, boiling all life. Even microorganisms could not survive.
The sword lizard was already feeling a little uncomfortable after going deep into the cave. At the same time, it didn't find any trace of a six-meter-long Tiger-Head Fish. It was very strange.
Half a meter long Tiger-Head Fish swam outside the cave, gnawing, and then growing to three to four meters long. They entered the cave after they could withstand the high temperature.
It gnawed at the materials that were richer in energy.
However, under normal circumstances, when the Tiger-Head Fish grew to six or seven meters, they would instinctively swim into the cave and eat the coral materials that were richer in energy.
Therefore, it was obvious that there was a gap in the mutated Tigerhead Fish School's body size between six to twenty meters.
The biggest possibility was that all the Tiger-Head Fish that were over six meters long had been eaten by the Fish King to avoid threatening his position or stealing the resources in the cave.
This also explained why the six-meter-long Tiger-Head Fish it encountered for the first time was two hundred meters deep.
It should be one of the survivors who escaped.
The sword lizard came to the 2,500-meter-deep cave. The temperature of the water didn't change much here, but the cave started to narrow. It started from a few miles to a hundred meters.
When the sword lizard passed through the hundred-meter hole, its eyes were filled with shock.
In front of it, an underground world dozens of kilometers wide appeared. The cave was filled with red crystals, and the red light it emitted illuminated the surroundings.
What shocked the sword lizard was that the head of the giant beast in the middle of the cave, which looked like a dragon python and was hundreds of meters in diameter, was nailed to the ground by a hundred-meter-thick bronze nail.
How could the sword lizard not be shocked by such a shocking scene?
Compared to its 30-meter-long body, the giant beast's head alone was hundreds of meters long, not to mention its huge body buried underground.
However, this giant beast had been nailed here for an unknown number of years. It had long died, and even its head had turned into a red crystal-like stone.
Red crystal corals grew all around the giant beast, emitting scorching heat like flames. The seawater was boiling like mercury.
It was even possible that these red crystal corals were formed by the energy of the giant beast after it died.
Hiss!
Thinking of this, even Chen Chu couldn't help but gasp.
Many years ago, unknown and terrifying Behemoths wreaked havoc in the world. There were also terrifying champions or civilizations who could nail Behemoths to death here.
For a living creature to reach this level of crystallization, it would take at least ten thousand years, just like those fossils.
"Hu! Who cares how many years ago it was, it was dead anyway.”After saying that, the sword lizard swung its tail and swam into the huge and boundless cave.
Boom!
The moment it entered the hole, the sword lizard felt as if it had passed through a membrane.
At the same time, the temperature of the water inside rose to over 300 degrees. The seawater was as hot as lava, making the sword lizard feel uncomfortable.
If it had not evolved thrice, causing its flesh and blood to undergo a qualitative change, the sword lizard would not even be able to get close to this place. Otherwise, it would have been cooked in a short while.
In this environment, the burning energy stored in the sword lizard's flesh became active.
At the same time, a strong call came from the giant beast's head, causing the genes in its entire body to become extremely restless, emitting a strong desire fluctuation.
"What is this?" The sword lizard suddenly turned its head and stared at the giant beast's head. It could see everything within a hundred meters, but it didn't find anything unusual.
After a moment of bewilderment, the sword lizard wagged its long tail in the hot seawater. In the end, it chose to go over and take a look.
After all, the strongest Tiger-Head Fish King had already been eaten by it. There shouldn't be any danger here. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to survive for so long.
After passing through clusters of flaming corals, the giant lizard finally arrived in front of the giant beast's head. Immediately, a terrifying aura filled with pressure rushed towards it, making it have the urge to lie down.
This was even after the other party had died for who knew how many tens of thousands of years. One could imagine how terrifying the aura of this giant beast was when it was alive.
In front of the head of this giant beast, the sword lizard was as weak as a baby. At the same time, the impulse in its body became stronger, filled with desire and greed.
Hesitating for a moment, the sword lizard instinctively stretched out its giant claw and pressed it on the red crystal beast's head.
Boom!
The sword lizard's consciousness was shaken. It saw a giant beast that was ten thousand meters long standing in the fire. It spat out endless flames and turned the whole world into a sea of fire.
"Discovered ancient gene, do you want to absorb it?”
At this moment, a notification sounded in Chen Chu's mind, clearing his mind.
"Ancient gene! It should be the thing that the sword lizard desired.”Chen Chu pondered for a moment before confirming.
"Absorb."
Weng!
Blood vessels that looked like blood vessels appeared on the head of the crystallized beast. They swarmed toward the sword lizard and entered its body through its claws.
As the blood threads entered the sword lizard's flesh, the scorching energy stored in the sword lizard's flesh instantly boiled. When the blood threads entered the sword lizard's flesh, they merged with it.
Without the pain of evolution or any earth-shattering phenomenon, the blood vessels merged into the sword lizard's flesh like ownerless energy.
When the blood vessels fused with the sword lizard, the flesh of the sword lizard immediately changed. The cells were like nuclear power furnaces, emitting a scorching light.
"Your clone absorbed the ancient gene and underwent a super-evolution. It obtained the power of an ancient giant beast, Scarlet Flame.”
Boom!
As the sword lizard's body changed, an invisible suction force spread out. Instantly, wisps of red light flew toward it from the red crystal-like corals around it.
The range of this gravitational force continued to expand. 100 meters, 500 meters, 1,000 meters, and finally, even the entire cave. All the red crystals in the cave emitted scorching red light.
As the endless hot energy surged in, the Sword Lizard was like a giant beast that was burning with flames. Its entire body was emitting a violent, hot, and destructive aura.
Without the red energy, the crystals dimmed and stopped glowing like rocks.
"Your clone absorbed a wisp of Scarlet Flame energy, Scarlet Flame 10.”
" Your clone absorbed a wisp of Scarlet Flame energy, Scarlet Flame 10..."
As the blood vessels merged into the sword lizard's body, the red, crystal-like giant beast's head gradually dimmed and turned into stone.
Suddenly, the Sword Lizard opened its eyes. Its pale golden pupils had turned golden-red, and it emitted a terrifying pressure that was above ordinary creatures.
Roar!
The sword lizard suddenly roared and opened its mouth.
In an instant, his body glowed with a bright red light, and endless hot energy surged out of his flesh and blood. At the same time, the sword fins on his back lit up with blue lightning.
Boom!
In the tens of miles wide hole, a giant beast with red and blue light shining on its body roared and spat out a hot breath that was surrounded by lightning.
As soon as the scorching breath was released from the sword lizard's mouth, it expanded continuously and finally turned into a red lightning beam several meters thick. Wherever it passed, the seawater would evaporate instantly.
In the end, it landed heavily on the rock wall a thousand meters away.
Boom! Boom!
Like a destructive laser beam, the sword lizard's head swayed. Wherever the scorching light beam passed, the mountain walls exploded continuously. In the end, the entire cave shook.
Boom! Boom!
A huge crack that almost tore the cave apart appeared. Huge boulders weighing ten thousand tons fell from the explosion. The entire cave began to collapse under the sword lizard's breath.
At this moment, as the energy was consumed, the red light on the sword lizard's body dimmed, and the breath in its mouth weakened and finally disappeared.
"F * ck, I did this!"
Looking at the collapsing mountain belly, the sword lizard who had just released its breath was shocked.
The sword lizard didn't have time to observe the changes in its body. It swung its tail, and the terrifying power in its body instantly erupted. It rushed toward the cave entrance like a black-red sword light.
Just as the sword lizard was fleeing frantically, dodging the falling boulders and rushing into the tunnel…
On the surface of the sea, the entire Northern Rock Island was shaking violently. Huge cracks appeared on the ground before it slowly collapsed.
The collapse of an island stirred up a strong earthquake energy, creating a tsunami that was several meters high on the surface of the sea. The turbid seawater swept everything in the surroundings.
Fortunately, Northern Rock Island was covered in rocks and had no vegetation. Due to the lack of resources, no one lived on it.
At this moment, only the two fishing boats in the distance saw this scene.
While the waves were rising and falling on the surface of the sea, the sword lizard that had escaped the crushing of the mountain stretched its head out of the sea. It looked at the collapsed north island with shock and excitement in its eyes.
"F * ck, does this count as destroying the island in one strike?”
However, Chen Chu knew very well that the attack was so powerful because the sword lizard had absorbed all the fire power from the coral crystals in the cave. Its body had accumulated endless heat energy.
It was also because the energy was too large that it could not be absorbed for a while. Under the situation where the sword lizard was almost bursting, it was finally released in the form of a breath.
If he were to let it use its breath again, the power would at most collapse a small hill, and it would only have the power of one attack.
The sword lizard took one last look at the sea where the Northern Rock Island had disappeared. It swayed its body and disappeared into the sea.
At a depth of 200 meters, the Sword Lizard, which had grown to 40 meters in size after fusing with the ancient gene, was swimming toward N City.
The sword lizard had completed three evolutions and gained another evolution from the ancient gene. Next, Chen Chu was prepared to focus on exploring the other world.
The sword lizard's return was a precaution.
During his exploration of the apocalyptic world, the sword lizard would swim in the East China Sea to hunt for food and continue to eat those fish to evolve.
Once a powerful monster rushed out and the main body was not the right one, the clone and the main body would have to work together to kill it.
With the discovery of the apocalyptic world and the giant beast corpse at the bottom of the sea, Chen Chu felt an inexplicable sense of urgency. He felt as if the world was undergoing a major change.
Under such circumstances, he naturally focused on improving his strength. He had long lost the thought of finding sunken ships and treasures to make a fortune.
After all, what was the use of money if he lost his life?
On the way back, Chen Chu also observed the changes in the sword lizard.
Overall, the Sword Lizard's appearance did not change much. Other than the dorsalis, there were also some short red spikes growing out of other parts of its body, such as its joints and shoulders.
It was like a giant beast wearing a thorny armor.
Within his body, the flesh and blood that had fused with the ancient genes were like a furnace at this moment. They were filled with dense, scorching energy and had obtained a qualitative improvement.
Although the Sword Lizard's flesh could store heat energy previously, it was only for storage. Now, other than storage and amplification, it also had the function of synthesis.
Even if he used up all the energy of the Scarlet Flame in one burst, he could still spend some time and slowly recover.
