Chapter 153. Jurassic (7) Taking a Dinosaur for a Walk

     A single Monoclonius dinosaur weighs approximately 3 tons, so 32 of them would weigh about 96 tons. When they run together, the sound of their limbs pounding the ground is like thunder, causing a rumbling, earth-shattering tremor wherever they pass.

     They moved forward, following a series of shallow pits.

     As they proceeded, one unicorn dinosaur in the front row and another in the third row on the right suddenly fell into a deep pit about 10 meters deep. The pit contained no swords, spears, or wooden spikes.

     The unicorn dinosaurs that fell into the pit were unharmed.

     What frustrates them now is how to climb out of this deep pit. The unicorn dinosaurs’ legs are less than 2 meters long, unable to reach out, and they lack limbs for climbing, wings like pterosaurs, and the ability to jump.

     “Hoo-roar!”

     Just as the other unicorn dinosaurs slowed their pace in response, the leading Monoclonius suddenly let out a long roar towards the front.

     They saw, not far from them, a Tyrannosaurus Rex cub wearing a conspicuous little red suit, its small claws clutching a cyan-green jade essence, hopping forward with a swaying gait, moving at a steady pace.

     This Tyrannosaurus cub was not enough for them to swallow in one bite, but the rich wood spirit on the Tyrannosaurus cub made the Monoclonius salivate, and their goal was the jade essence it held.

     The group of Monoclonius unhesitatingly abandoned the ones that fell into the pit, chasing after the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub.

     Thump! Boom!

     Another deep pink Monoclonius unfortunately fell into the pit, a pit still devoid of any blood.

     Ye Mo accelerated her running speed, something she was very good at. Although holding the jade essence would definitely affect her speed, the extra tail helped her maintain balance while running, thereby accelerating.

     Run! Run! Run!

     Thus, in the HawkEye view, on a cold, rocky terrain under a starry night sky, a 24-centimeter-long, bipedal Tyrannosaurus Rex was leading a group of deep pink Monoclonius.

     Occasionally, a Monoclonius would unfortunately fall into a pit.

     “Hoo-roar!”

     The frustrated Monoclonius occasionally spat fire ball with all their might, real fire, but these fireballs were nimbly dodged by the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub.

     “Hoo-roar-woo!”

     Ye Mo also let out a fierce growl in response.

     She had painstakingly dug a total of 11 pits, using herself as bait, and only 9 pits caught 9 Monoclonius.

     Ye Mo led the Monoclonius around for another half an hour, put the jade essence back into her storage space, and began running at 100% speed.

     The remaining 24 Monoclonius could only watch the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub’s figure grow smaller and smaller, until it disappeared from sight.

     “Hoo-roar!”

     They chose to continue rushing forward, and while running, they might spit out fireballs, which brought a lot of warmth to the cold night.

     …

     After a while, Ye Mo finally used the remaining half of the energy from the space key and space array she had used in the white space to return to the edge of the pit where a Monoclonius had fallen.

     Her gaze fell upon the Monoclonius occasionally spitting fireballs and constantly roaring, fresh and alive.

     Begin feeding!

     Ye Mo pushed off the ground with both feet, leaping high. A gust of wind swept past beneath her feet, and while dodging two fireballs, two throwing knives shot straight into the Monoclonius’s eyes, lodging in its spine.

     Ignoring its struggles and roars, she took a fierce bite.

     Yes, a bite.

     Although the Monoclonius had thick skin and stronger magic resistance than the pterosaur, and its pink body was extremely hot, it was still bitten by the little Tyrannosaurus Rex and bled. You could even hear the sound of bones breaking.

     The legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex’s first weapon is teeth, and the second is claws. It can tear apart any dinosaur in the Jurassic period. It is not a knife, a sword, or an arrow, let alone a space array or a magic scroll.

     Ye Mo has experienced so many copies, she knows very well that survivors must learn to adapt to the integration of different copies.

     She is now a young Tyrannosaurus Rex, and can survive with the help of system props, but that is definitely not the way to be a strong person. Even if a real Tyrannosaurus Rex does not have a sword, arrow, or knife, it can tear its prey to pieces and grow, and it also has the natural physical attribute bonus of a dinosaur.

     How many survivors have space?

     15 or less.

     Among the dinosaur survivors without space, even a small number of system props for dinosaurs living in groups may be taken away by big dinosaurs; many high-attribute props for solitary dinosaurs may attract enemy dinosaurs, and they must learn to give them up.

     Perhaps this copy is meant to teach survivors how to use their own abilities, as well as the non-existent intelligence of dinosaurs, rather than relying 100% on external forces. Otherwise what’s the point of growth?

     Moreover, this instance is not a Norse mythology copy. Norse mythology has inexhaustible resources, while in this copy, a single water-element spirit stone can drive three pterosaurs into a frenzy of competition.

     The weapons and energy in the space diminish with each use. Apart from the Runic spells being somewhat useful, the equipment in the machinery room and alchemy room has significantly reduced effectiveness in this copy.

     Ye Mo has figured it out long ago.

     The blindness of the Monoclonius’s eyes is an auxiliary golden finger she gave to her cub identity. She and the Monoclonius tangled, biting, tearing, sucking blood, making full use of her small claws and teeth.

     Even HawkEye is not needed. It is just responsible for floating in the air as a cheerleader and keeping watch. If a dinosaur approaches within 500 miles, it will enter Ye Mo’s body.

     The blood and bones with rich fire energy enter the body, which is naturally hot. It neutralizes the cold night to the right degree. Later, she even felt that her whole body was too “warm”.

     It was so warm that she could only resist with her physique.

 

   【Detected survivor Ye Mo has broken through the mental strength threshold, mental attribute +1. 】 ×3.

   【Detected survivor Ye Mo has broken through the strength threshold, strength attribute +1. 】×2

   【Detected survivor Ye Mo has broken through the agility threshold, agility attribute +1.】 

 

     This is the real way to open the copy!

     The Monoclonius had a continuous bony neck frill growing backward, locking its cervical vertebrae tightly together. This was its only weak point. When Ye Mo crushed the cervical vertebrae, it closed its eyes.

   【Side quest: Kill ancient dinosaurs (4/5). 】

    Small claws gripped the Monoclonius’s broken horn tip, a natural, unprocessed weapon. The mini Tyrannosaurus Rex sat on the Monoclonius’s body with a plop, taking a breather, its little milk voice full of confidence: “Mighty and majestic!”

    The hovering and drifting HawkEye did not agree.

    Mighty and majestic at 24cm?

    It must be said, Ye Mo’s current body, and the deep pink Monoclonius hide, as well as the deep pink dinosaur horn, were particularly well-matched. She could make herself a warm dinosaur skin suit!

     “…”

     …

     Ye Mo ate one-third of the internal organs of the Monoclonius, drank a mouthful of spiritual water to neutralize it, and then put it into the space, squatted on the spot, and left after a few minutes.

     Continue to move forward.

     By the time they reached the next pit, Ye Mo had consumed most of the Monoclonius’s major organs, leaving mostly blood, which was consumed much faster than the organs.

     Fresh!

     Ye Mo used a pterosaur claw and a Monoclonius’s horn to blind this Monoclonius’s eyes, then jumped onto its neck, using her claws to stabilize herself and prevent it from throwing her off.

     “Hoo-roar!”

     After stabilizing herself, Ye Mo first broke through the Monoclonius’s bony neck frill, then bit through the cervical vertebrae with one bite. Crunch, the sound of shattering bone was extremely clear in the silent world.

     “Hoo-roar!”

     The Monoclonius struggled twice before collapsing.

   【Congratulations on completing the task: Killing the ancient dinosaur (5/5), strength attribute +1, agility attribute +1, constitution attribute +1. 】

     Compared with the first fight with the Monoclonius, this victory came too easily.

     The third Monoclonius was dealt with just as swiftly.

     Upon encountering the adjacent fourth and fifth Monoclonius, Ye Mo had successfully grown 3cm,

   【Congratulations to the survivor Ye Mo for completing the side quest 4 in the “Jurassic” copy, growing 3cm, and rewarding strength +1, agility +1, and constitution +1. 】

     A 27cm Tyrannosaurus Rex!

     The fourth was dealt with the same way.

     However, when fighting the fifth dinosaur, Ye Mo no longer blinded it first. She jumped directly onto the Monoclonius’s back. Well, even if she hadn’t, it couldn’t really do anything to her.

     At most, when she jumped down, the fireballs were a bit hotter and more densely packed, and the horn, similar to a parrot’s beak, came straight at her. At times like these, speed and multi-tasking abilities are crucial.

   【Detected survivor Ye Mo has broken through the agility threshold, agility attribute +1.】

   【Detected survivor Ye Mo has broken through the mental strength threshold, mental attribute +1.】 

     And adaptability.

     Even if the cervical vertebrae are out of reach, Ye Mo can jump onto its back. Her claws and teeth can still injure it. The violent shaking only temporarily hinders her actions. First, she’ll let it experience the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s bite force, and fresh blood sprays into her mouth.

     It’s all energy!”

     …

     Noticing its struggle had lessened slightly, she used the remaining force to propel herself, heading straight for its weak point. One claw, crunch, two claws, crunch.

     Boom—

   【Side quest: Kill the ancient dinosaur (2/10).】 

     …

     “Hiccup.”

   【Congratulations to the survivor Ye Mo for completing side quest 5 in the “Jurassic” copy, growing 3cm, and rewarding strength +1, agility +1, and constitution +1.】 

     Ye Mo needed more and more energy. Only one Monoclonius remained, and there were too many dinosaur bones and meat piled up in the space. Bones and meat provided little energy, and it might take eating all of them to advance again.

     But she didn’t know how many more pits she’d have to dig.

     Or perhaps she should wait until her appetite increased to eat more.

     As the 30cm Ye Mo fought with the eighth 3.8-ton Monoclonius, HawkEye suddenly swooshed back into Ye Mo’s body.

     After losing track of the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub, the 24 deep pink Monoclonius continued running for a while. Once they were sure they couldn’t find their way, they finally started heading back.

     However, the warning given by HawkEye was not about them, as they were still some distance away from the pit where Ye Mo had been fighting.

     The warning was about another group of about 20 Spinosaurus. In addition to a horn on their noses, they had many thorny spines around their head shields, and their bodies were a light green color.

     Ye Mo took out a high-level water-element knife, speeding up the current battle. After finishing, she didn’t have time to process the organs and blood. She wiped her mouth and claws with the Monoclonius’s deep pink hide.

     She put the dinosaur corpse into her belt space, climbed out of the pit, and came face to face with the 20-plus Spinosaurus.

     If not now, when should she run?

     The 30cm Tyrannosaurus Rex cub ran towards the Monoclonius, followed by a group of Spinosaurus.
