Chapter 147. Jurassic (1) Ye -Egg born Tyrannosaurus Rex- Mo

     Ten minutes after saying goodbye to Bandit, Watson, and Wang Xue, Ye Mo entered the first round of public beta dungeons.

     Before she opened her eyes, she could already smell a very strong smell of blood. She seemed to be wrapped in a sticky bloody liquid, and even the liquid covered her eyes.

    A sweep of spiritual power.

     The familiar white space was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a small, oval-shaped space, perhaps only the size of a basketball, filled with a crimson liquid. She was within this oval space.

     Furthermore, she had grown a head, spine, tailbone, limbs, paws, and tail that were distinctly different from humans. Her lizard-like mouth contained two rows of very small, jagged teeth. The four teeth at the edges were slightly longer, similar to how humans might have two slightly longer canine teeth.

     “…”

     The previous few dungeons, even the goblins, were at least humanoid. Now, they’ve turned into egg-laying creatures.

     Ye Mo silently recited “dungeon mission,” “personal attributes,” and “personal status,” but the system gave no response.

     The air in the eggshell space seemed to be fixed. During the twenty seconds of thinking, she could clearly feel that the air was decreasing. If she didn’t go out for half an hour, she would definitely die.

     It seems that breaking out of the egg is the first level she must go through.

     Ye Mo’s limbs began to struggle. Her strength was quite strong, but the resistance of the viscous liquid in the eggshell was also quite strong. This step was actually a little difficult.

     The egg rolled around for more than ten seconds, and even hit other objects, making a loud “bang”.

     When Ye Mo touched the egg wall, things became simple. She knocked her claws on the wall. With a bang, the upper half of the eggshell broke into pieces, and the four-limbed small animal wrapped in blood-red liquid broke out of the shell.

     Not only did it break out of the shell, but it also lay back in the half-broken eggshell because of the uncoordinated limbs.

     In the eyes of the long-waiting Hawkeye, what it saw was a lizard hatchling about 10 centimeters long paddling on the ground. Its greenish-brown skin had no scales but was covered with colorful patterns of gold, green, blue, red, and yellow. Its limbs were not coordinated, with the front limbs much shorter than the hind limbs.

     Her eyes and mouth were still closed.

     So cute.

     Ye Mo opened her eyes first, seeing that she was inside a broken eggshell. When she looked up, she met the gaze of Hawkeye, who had a clear smile. She saw her current appearance reflected in it amber eye.

    HawkEye paused for a moment, then actively merged into her body, with a hint of proud flattery.

     Soon, Ye Mo saw the long-lost complete white space. This white space was very large. If there was no HawkEye, the mental power could not be scanned completely, and the white space was full of eggs.

     Preliminary estimates show that all the eggs of the ten thousand survivors are here. The first public test dungeon is a full-participation event!

     In the center of the white space, some nests of eggs contained hundreds, others dozens, and some a dozen. However, the eggs along the walls, like Ye Mo’s, were all solitary.

     Colorful eggs, eggs of different sizes.

     Ye Mo asked Hawkeye to patrol the circle and simply speculated that the eggs living in groups should be new survivors or survivors with relatively low strength, while the lonely eggs near the wall are all the old survivors.

     In this way, she roughly knew which egg Watson and Wang Xue were. No matter what, she was very happy to participate in the same copy with them.

     In short, the largest egg may be able to hold four or five adults, and the average egg space size can also hold a 10-year-old child, and Ye Mo’s egg is the smallest one in the space so far.

     It’s hard to say.

     I really don’t want to be a small egg.

     When Hawkeye came to the white space, ut thought that the largest blue-green egg would be Ye Mo, but it turned out that the first egg that rolled around in the silent space and made a sound was the smallest egg.

     Although the egg is quite colorful – a mixture of all colors.

     “Ah.”

     A babyish voice.

     When Ye Mo opened her mouth to make a sound, a sticky liquid was forced into her mouth. It tasted a bit fishy, but it was not a bad taste. Instead, it could provide basic nutrition.

     So –

     She quickly consumed her own eggshell and the egg liquid inside, leaving not a single drop or speck of powder behind.

     Don’t ask how she did it, it’s due to mental power

     HawkEye’ attention was all on Ye Mo. The little lizard spit out its pink and tender little tongue, and ate the eggshell and licked the egg liquid bit by bit with its cheeks.

     It’s so cute. Not only human cubs are cute, but lizard (hey!) cubs are also cute.

 

   【Congratulations to the survivor Ye Mo for completing the side quest 1 in the “Jurassic” copy, swallowing her own dinosaur egg, and rewarding strength +1, agility +1, and constitution +1. 】

 

     Ye Mo: “…” 

     Is the task so simple?

     The rewards of this task are exactly the same as those of the Doomsday Supermarket copy, all of which are these three attributes.

     Just the Jurassic copy?

     The Jurassic is a geological period, between the Triassic and Cretaceous, approximately 199.6 million to 145.5 million BC, the second period of the Mesozoic Era.

     What happened to the promised mythical dungeon? The Jurassic dungeon seems to be in the ancient times before the birth of humans, before the emergence of intelligent animals, before the emergence of gods and wicthes.

     Ye Mo silently said: “Check the copy task.”

 

   【Copy “Jurassic”

     Main Quest 1: Explain the Survivor App to 1,298,993 reservists.

     Main Quest 2: Maintain order in the pre-instance space, preventing the snatching of egg fluid.

     Main Quest 3: Survive for 100 days.

     Side Quest: Evolve! Tyrannosaurus Rex.

     Note: Death within the dungeon results in obliteration; failure of a main quest results in obliteration.】

 

     The most famous creatures living in the Jurassic period were of course dinosaurs, and the most famous among dinosaurs was of course Tyrannosaurus Rex. She actually became a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex!

     “…”

     Don’t be surprised that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is so small.

     In fact, the earliest ancestor of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was the Proceratosaurus from the Late Triassic. Adults were only 90 centimeters long, less than 1 meter, and weighed only 5 to 7 kilograms. They were relatively ordinary small animals.

     From such a tiny beginning, it evolved into the apex predator of the Late Cretaceous food chain. At that time, any other dinosaurs still alive on Earth could have become its prey.

     The evolutionary process of the Tyrannosaurus Rex has gaps in the fossil record. In any case, it’s unknown how it evolved into a giant dinosaur.

     Take Sue, the Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen discovered in South Dakota, for example. With a lifespan of 28 years, it is the largest and longest-lived Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil discovered so far. It experienced a period of explosive growth, gaining nearly 4 pounds of flesh per day on average, but the reason is unknown

     In fact, the growth of not only Tyrannosaurus Rex but other dragons is also a mystery, but now this mystery may have been solved a little.

     After Ye Mo ate the eggshell and egg liquid, she felt that her body had grown a little bit, perhaps from 10 cm to 15 cm in total length, and the teeth in her mouth changed most obviously.

      Dinosaurs grow by eating?

     …

     This dungeon task has an unprecedented number of newcomers. It looks simple and straightforward. Mainline tasks 1 and 2 are the benefits of the chief survivor Ye Mo, and also the benefits of new survivors.

     Mainline task 2 may be a bit troublesome. Fortunately, there is Hawkeye and the survivors wake up in order. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome. Even so, it is still a bit troublesome.

     Mission 3: Survive for 100 days. For Ye Mo, it still depends on the environment of the dungeon, which is an unknown item. The last non-essential side quest represents fighting and competition.

     Since Ye Mo had already let out a ‘roar’ once, she didn’t mind doing it a second time. A childish, milky voice echoed in the space, babbling and saying, “wah… mama, waah, sob sob.'”

    Hawkeye: “…”

     Why can people speak?

     Because people have the ability to make sounds, hear, and activate the brain processing ability of rich oral communication.

     Clearly, Ye Mo now has the ability. After a brief period of baby talk, she has been able to master some simple vocabulary smoothly. At least, communicating with the survivors later won’t be a problem.

     “Check personal status.”

     Okay, her baby voice is still a bit inaccurate.

     Standing steadily on her two hind legs, using them as feet, Ye Mo had basically mastered her balance. She covered her face with her short front claws, feeling a bit helpless, as the familiar mechanical voice of the system rang out.

————————

 

     Advanced Manipulation, meaning the mental domain, is still unavailable. However, her Mental Illusion has surprisingly reached the elementary level. She can now only conjure illusions of green grass and deceive ordinary animals. Bandits still won’t be fooled by fake bones.

     As for the many prepared items and medicines, a Tyrannosaurus Rex wielding a sword… everything still needs to be practiced slowly.

     Ye Mo looked towards the original location of her egg. There were the disguised backpack, high-level sword, storage ring, Thor’s belt space, etc. With her current height, it’s really too much.

     She waddled over.

     She put the backpack and sword back into the storage space, replaced the storage ring’s chain with a short thread and hung it around her neck. Using her mental power, she create a very simple ‘pet outfit’ for herself, hiding the Thor’s belt space within it.

     Although the Thor belt was cut, it was still a little long for Ye Mo. Her grass green clothes were really too thick and cumbersome. She couldn’t wait to evolve and grow up, even for clothes.

     She took a throwing knife out of her space. Okay, the box of throwing knives and daggers in her space would temporarily become her weapons.

     This flurry of activity took quite some time.

     The second egg finally showed signs of movement, the largest one in the space, a blue-green color.

     There was absolutely no surprise.

     Blue-green: Wood and Wind elements.

     Blue: Water and Ice elements.

     The second-ranked survivor on the system’s official top 100 list, and also Ye Mo’s old acquaintance, Bella.
