Chapter 310: Evolution 2
‘Deep Swamp Croc: The Form 2 evolution of the Short-tailed Croc, Second Form Creature Totem. Upgradable, Probability of successful evolution: 25%. Potential Point cost: 500%.
Ability: Explosive Surprise Attack, Iron Hide, Parasitism.’
”Forty Potential Points, that would mean eight chances. I don’t believe that it can’t go any higher!” Garen’s gaze remained on the Deep Swamp Croc’s body. These were all the Potential Points that he had gotten from Goth. Goth was currently heavily injured, and would not be able to go out and hunt Ansella. Likewise, he would not be able to receive more Potential Points as well, and thus, these Potential Points were all that were left for him to use to gain more.
If he failed again this time, the only thing he could do would be to slowly depend on his luck.
”Begin!”
Garen stared at the Deep Swamp Croc’s icon for more than three seconds.
Suddenly, the icon shook vigorously and became blurry. Under Garen’s hopeful gaze, the icon began to become clear quickly again.
It was still in its initial form!
Garen’s expression remained, and he resumed the process.
Three seconds later, the icon became blurry again, and then instantly became focused, without any other changes.
”Again! I don’t believe this!” Garen’s gaze grew serious. Continue!
The third time!
Failure again!
The fourth time! Fail!
The fifth time! Fail!
The sixth time! Fail!
The seventh time!
The icon became blurry for a moment, and then became clear once again.
”Failure again…” A reluctant expression flashed in Garen’s eyes. Suddenly, he looked at the icon properly once it had become focused again, and his voice caught itself in his throat. ”This is…??”
The Deep Swamp Croc’s icon disappeared, and was replaced by a new unknown icon.
Roar!!!
The Deep Swamp Croc could not help itself and roared softly, as its body began to turn into a dark brown colour. Its body started to expand as well, and it grew from its original five meters, immediately lengthening to six meters, seven meters, eight meters…
The Deep Swamp Croc’s body expanded and soon reached the maximum capacity of the room. Garen stared at it with his mouth opened and his eyes dazed, as it broke the window frame and jumped out of the window, falling into the garden below.
Its body expanded endlessly, as it had finally underwent many years of growth in this short space of ten seconds.
Garen stood at the window that had just been broken open, and bent his head downwards to look outside.
The entire ten meter length of the garden was now almost fully occupied by the Deep Swamp Croc’s body. It had grown to almost fifteen or sixteen meters in length, and possessed a seven to eight meter wide body, resembling a large dinosaur from the Jurassic period.
The strangest part was that its initial head had grown in a slightly crooked manner, while an extra clump of flesh had grown on its right shoulder. The clump of flesh kept growing rapidly, transforming into something new. Finally, it grew into a large head that was the exact same size of the Giant Croc’s original head.
Bang bang!!
It was unknown when an extra pair of large feet had grown from the Giant Croc’s abdomen, and were now violently stepping on the ground. The six legs supported its large body altogether.
Finally, it completed its evolution, and had transformed from its original crocodile-like image into a salamander. Its two heads began to snap their big mouths in opposite directions, as its large mouth roared silently.
Shh…
Both of its mouths exhaled a large gust of smelly wind.
Garen finally snapped out of his state of shock. He looked at the brown Dual Headed Salamander below and realised that his Potential Points had been well-spent.
This sixteen meter long terrifying beast crawled around in his garden, looking as if it were a giant dinosaur from the past. Its size appeared to be slightly bigger than the White Bat that he had encountered earlier.
”Too bad it’s not a Form 3 Totem, but a mere Silver Totem instead!” Garen lamented as he looked at the Totem Pane in his field of vision, looking at the icon section carefully.
The icon of the Deep Swamp Croc had really been changed into the Dual Headed Salamander’s image.
‘Dual Headed Salamander: The Form 3 evolution of the Deep Swamp Croc, Third form creature, Final form cannot be upgraded.
Ancient informative message: This terrifying beast existed in the ancient Behemoth era, which was at least twenty million years ago. They were the overlords of the amphibians, and possessed great strength as well as unmatched defenses. They generally live in dark, damp maze-like caves underground, and have a strong territorial sense, and are extremely possessive.
Abilities: Digging maze-like caves, Life Biting (Creatures that are bitten by its left mouth will unconsciously allow their life force to flow into the body of the beast, creating a healing effect)
Dragon skin (Strong dragon scales that are able to prevent damage inflicted by most weapons and sharp teeth)
Dragon roar (Loud roar that will cause deafness and dizziness in all surrounding creatures, in order for the slow-moving Salamander will be able to catch up to its prey and swallow them)
Parasitism: The Dual Headed Salamander can lay its parasitic eggs inside the bodies of its enemies, causing painful injuries, and finally creating a single-headed ferocious Form 2 Deep Swamp Croc. The rate of egg production is one per week.
”Shh!!” When he looked at the Deep Swamp Croc, Garen could not help but sigh in relief.
The Deep Swamp Croc could create Parasites on its own, while this Dual Headed Salamander could create more Deep Swamp Crocs.
