Evolve into a Dragon after Surviving a Nuclear Blast - Chapter 5

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Days kept passing and time flew swiftly.

During these few days, in the depths of this island that had been baptized by the nuclear bomb, a ferocious beast was crouching by the lake.

“Huff…”

That rhythmic sound of breathing… As he was breathing in and out, Gray could clearly feel that this body of his was becoming stronger and stronger bit by bit.

“There’s something wrong with this island!”

While he was mumbling, Gray could also sense that something was wrong with the island.

In a trance, an unknown supernatural force was constantly strengthening his body. This feeling made him very happy, and made his body even stronger.

And this unknown force, according to his observations on the island for so many days, should be nuclear radiation.

Gray had already spent a month on the island. It was not much different from the lifeless surroundings when he woke up last time. The only thing that could cause such a situation was obviously nuclear radiation.

As he was mumbling, Gray’s snake eyes seemed to see the specks of green light in the air.

This was a strange ability that his eyes had obtained after constantly mutating recently.

It was either dark green or emerald green…

At a glance, the entire world was full of green vitality, and there was an indescribable sense of horror.

However, Gray did notice something strange. His body was actually actively absorbing these green light spots.

And as he continued to absorb them, Gray felt his body growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There was another important reason why Gray had guessed that it was nuclear radiation.

This was because the closer this emerald-green light spots were to the center of the island’s explosion, the denser the light spots became.

This, combined with Gray’s previous guess, made sense.

Of course, probably it wasn’t as simple as just the nuclear radiation. It was because viewing from Gray’s angle, there were also light spots in the distance.

However, those light spots were much more sparse compared to the green light spots.

They were also colorful.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, the colors varied…

They kept floating in the air.

“If my guess is correct, this green light spots should be the product of nuclear radiation fusing with these colorful light spots.”

While mumbling, Gray was also thinking.

However, it didn’t seem like he should care about such things at the moment.

Slowly raising his head, Gray saw that his evolution points had already reached as many as 500…

This was his harvest for an entire month.

Again and again, he foraged for food. Finally, his evolution points had accumulated to as many as 500…

And now, it was time to activate the final strengthening — body strengthening…

He needed more than 300 evolution points, but it was highly possible for Gray to undergo a qualitative leap.

What was worth mentioning here was that Gray had already strengthened his scale armor and venom over the past few days.

The effect of the scale armor strengthening and mutation wasn’t very obvious. From the looks of it, it only made his skin look a little thicker.

However, the venom was a little intriguing.

“Roar.”

Amidst the roar that sounded like countless metals rubbing against each other, Gray also felt an inexplicable power gathering in the depths of his throat.

Immediately after…

“Pu.”

Another loud roar was heard. Following that, a ball of dark green liquid shot towards the boulder not far away.

“Sizzle…”

After a series of chemical reactions, the two-square-meter boulder continued to corrode at a speed visible to the naked eye, before finally falling apart.

This was poison, a Level 4 poison. To be more precise, it should be a Level 4 skill brought about by mutation and evolution, the poison spray.

In layman’s terms, it was spitting. However, the destructive power of this spit was not to be underestimated.

Its astonishing corrosive power even made Gray’s scalp go numb. A chill shot up from his tail to his head, wanting to escape from his body.

If this had happened to an adult male, he would probably have dissolved in a few seconds.

However, it was a pity that the range and accuracy of this venom was a huge problem at present. It was fine if it could not hit the target, but if the object was moving, then it was likely to only hit the edge.

Moreover, the range was only a few meters.

These problems that could not be underestimated made Gray feel a little awkward.

However, he was only a lizard. How could there be a born genius? The problem was not big. As long as he practiced diligently, the venom would definitely become one of his trump cards.

Grinning, Gray did not feel as awkward as before.

Who didn’t crawl step by step? Although this poison spray looked unusable due to various reasons, its destructive potential was still worth looking forward to.

Not to mention other things, but looking at this astonishing corrosive power, one could roughly understand.

Perhaps a bulletproof steel plate that was a few centimeters thick could be dissolved by this terrifying poison in a few seconds.

In the true sense of the word, anyone who touched it would die.

However, it was not the time to consider the issue of the poison spray…

“It’s time to spend 300 evolution points to strengthen my body…”

Thinking of this, Gray’s eyes narrowed, and a burning look of desire flashed across his face.

The other strengthening that he spent 30 evolution points had already brought about such an objective improvement. If he spent 300 evolution points on strengthening his body, the benefits he would receive would be even greater than he could imagine.

“After I strengthen my body, I still have 200 evolution points left. I can choose to strengthen other areas…”

Gray thought to himself. He had already calculated in his heart.

…

Not long after…

“Ding dong, are you sure you want to spend 300 evolution points to strengthen your body?”

“Yes.”

The moment he finished speaking…

A faint rumbling sound came from Gray’s body.

Gray only heard a terrifying rumbling sound in his mind, and his body suddenly shook.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying energy surged out from the deepest part of his heart, and then spread to his limbs and bones.

“Kacha, kacha…”

Crisp sounds rang out one after another. Gray could clearly feel that all the bones in his body were being shattered by this unknown force one after another. Then, they began to reassemble.

While the bones were reassembling, even Gray could clearly feel an indescribable sense of hardness coming from all the bones in his body.

Breaking, reassembling, breaking, reassembling.

Amidst the continuous changes, Gray’s enormous body, which had already evolved and mutated, underwent another earth-shattering change.

Metamorphosis, or rebirth, no one could recognize what kind of species this was.

However, one thing Gray was sure of was that it was evolving in the direction that he had guessed.

“Roar…”

As if he was suppressing the roar of a beast, Gray’s four limbs continued to exert force.

At this moment, if one paid attention to the attribute panel, one would be able to notice the obvious changes.
