"What kind of animal is that?!"
"Dinosaur! Is it a dinosaur?"
"Oh my god, I actually saw a dinosaur in this world?!"
“Is this true?”
"So many! Why are there so many?"
"It's too far away, I can't see clearly!"
To the east of Crystal City, in the direction where Xu Xin's tree house was originally located, at a glance, nearly a hundred huge dinosaurs were rushing towards them.
Because of their huge size and excessive weight, even from a few kilometers away, the survivors in Crystal City could feel the tree house shaking as the group of dinosaurs moved forward.
"What are those things?" Xu Xin asked directly among the explorers, "Are they really dinosaurs?"
Ji Chaoyang's vision has obviously improved, so he might be able to see the situation over there clearly.
Sure enough, Ji Chaoyang replied: "Dinosaur, with a huge head, not very tall, about five or six meters, but the body length is estimated to be at least ten meters, the hind limbs are strong and developed, responsible for running, and the forelimbs are estimated to be very small."
This describes...
Wang Lei: "Tyrannosaurus?! It's a Tyrannosaurus Rex, right?"
"Yes, from what I observed, it should be a Tyrannosaurus Rex." Ji Chaoyang continued to reply, "But I know very little about dinosaurs, so I'm not sure."
Listening to Ji Chaoyang's description, this is definitely a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Dinosaur.
In this world, he had already seen dinosaurs.
The first time was when I saw the petrified pterosaur on the top of the snowy mountain.
A natural giant with a wingspan of over ten meters.
Later, in the underground world, he saw a whole group of petrified dinosaurs.
Right in the center of the main vine bundle where they were teleported up at the critical moment, there were groups of petrified dinosaurs.
Those dinosaur stone statues are not limited to pterosaurs, but include all kinds of dinosaurs.
Unexpectedly, this time I actually saw a group of dinosaurs on the ground!
"Are those all Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Xu Xin asked.
"Yes. All of them. Moreover, the size of each one... seems to be exactly the same."
Is it really like this
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Those alien invaders used the genes of dinosaurs to revive them!"
That should be it!
Dinosaurs are a general term for some prehistoric reptiles. They were the overlords of the earth that lived mainly in the Late Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, and dominated the earth for a full 150 million years.
The extinction of dinosaurs is 65 million years ago. In this time dimension, the thousand years that Xu Xin and his group of survivors traveled through can basically be ignored.
Dinosaurs disappeared in the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event 65 million years ago. Scientists generally believe that a huge meteorite hit the earth, causing this mass extinction and leading to the demise of the earth's dominant species that had dominated the earth for hundreds of millions of years.
In fact, it is not completely extinct.
Strictly speaking, the group of fierce birds they just killed were the descendants of dinosaurs.
Today's birds are the descendants of the dinosaurs that survived.
But it is really creepy to see the real overlord of the earth tens of millions of years ago in this era.
The last time I saw it was a stone statue. It felt like seeing a fossil, but it wasn’t as impactful.
But this time, a real group of dinosaurs rushed towards them!
It’s still a group of Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Tyrannosaurus Rex is not very big among many dinosaurs, but it is definitely the top one among all carnivorous dinosaurs!
Whether Tyrannosaurus Rex was the most powerful and ferocious dinosaur in prehistoric times has not yet been determined, but it can be said that in the era and region where Tyrannosaurus Rex existed, it was undoubtedly at the top of the food chain!
The dinosaurs that can be compared with Tyrannosaurus Rex either did not belong to the same era or the same continent as Tyrannosaurus Rex.
It can be said that wherever the Tyrannosaurus Rex is, it is the overlord!
And now, there are hundreds of Tyrannosaurus Rex rushing towards Crystal City!
This is a true prehistoric monster!
Hundreds of them!
At this moment, Xu Xin felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
If there were only a few of them, it might be easier for them to deal with them.
After all, whether it is the personal strength of some people or their ultimate weapons, they can fight against it.
If there were more than a dozen of them, the battle might be a little more difficult, but Xu Xin believed that they could still win.
but…
Hundreds
This is totally off the mark!
"Everyone, these Tyrannosaurus Rex have very bright blood patterns on their bodies!" Ji Chaoyang asked everyone again, "They are obviously mutants! At least they are intermediate, and there is even a possibility that..."
…and it’s a mutant creature!
It could also be an advanced mutant creature!
For mutant creatures of this level, ordinary explosive crossbows may not even cause any physical harm to them!
Just tickling them!
Xu Xin wanted to curse.
How to fight this
There's no way to fight this!
Hundreds of them could indeed be considered a herd, but Wen Guixin had no idea what to do with this kind of herd...
Wen Guixin: "They are too big, I'm afraid my ability won't be of much use! If I want to infect them, it will probably take at least ten minutes, there's no time at all!"
Wen Guixin's ability was immediately disabled when she encountered a giant beast and was of no use.
A herd of giant beasts!
Who could have known that they would face such a terrifying enemy lineup
Qin Yunlong: "They are also giant beasts, right? Then will the function of Crystal City be useful to them?"
"… The possibility of it being useful is very low." Xu Xin looked at the dinosaurs on the distant skyline, "They are not so huge because of their behemoth bloodline, they are just this size.
The crystal city's white light can only affect creatures with the blood of giant beasts, but these dinosaurs... only have blood veins that mutate."
Based on the body sizes described by Ji Chaoyang, these Tyrannosaurus Rex are obviously of normal size.
He doesn't have the blood of a giant beast at all.
Come to think of it, the other party has long known that Crystal City will affect creatures with the bloodline of giant beasts, so they will naturally not repeat the same mistake.
These Tyrannosaurus Rex cannot possibly have the bloodline of giant beasts!
This is the ordinary Tyrannosaurus Rex that was resurrected by technology, and then underwent bloodline mutation to become a bloodline mutant creature!
Unexpectedly, the alien invaders actually used this method to obtain a controllable blood-marked beast!
Creatures with the blood of giant beasts will develop their own resistance consciousness, so they will no longer obey the control of the blood veins, so the alien invaders have not yet completely controlled the blood vein behemoths.
That's why they built a laboratory and an underground prison in the underground world.
But now... they actually succeeded in controlling the blood-marked beast!
Since the bloodline of giant beasts will affect the control of blood patterns, why don't they just look for ferocious giant beasts that can grow in size without relying on the bloodline of giant beasts? That will be fine soon!
Using dinosaur genes to resurrect dinosaurs was exactly what they expected.
This has led to the current scene, with hundreds of blood-marked giant Tyrannosaurus Rex rushing towards the Crystal City!
Ji Chaoyang said again in the group: "We still have time. The speed of those Tyrannosaurus Rex is not as fast as we imagined. It even feels... a bit slow?"
ah…
Xu Xin was slightly startled, then his eyes lit up: "Yes, that's right, the running speed of the Tyrannosaurus Rex should not be very fast!"
Researchers believe that a young Tyrannosaurus Rex could run at a maximum speed of 72 kilometers per hour, while an adult Tyrannosaurus Rex could only reach 18 to 40 kilometers per hour, and its physical performance was optimal when it walked at a speed of 7.2 kilometers per hour.
Tyrannosaurus Rex's forelimbs were atrophied, and it ran with its two strong hind limbs. It might be able to run for short periods of time, but it spent most of its time walking.
Their body structure cannot support them to run for a long time. Running on two legs for a long time with such a heavy weight will put tremendous pressure on their hind limbs.
The group of Tyrannosaurus Rex heading outside the city at this time basically confirmed the scientists' conjectures.
This group of Tyrannosaurus Rex did not rush towards this side, but... walked towards this side step by step.
The speed is not fast, just... about ten kilometers per hour.
For this group of blood-lined Tyrannosaurus Rex, this speed is probably effortless.
This is to save energy and accumulate strength for the subsequent attack!
And at this speed, it might take them more than half an hour to get here.
It gave everyone present a sigh of relief.
But this didn't really make them relax.
It just... postponed the problem they couldn't solve for half an hour.
"At least we have some time to think." Qi Xuefei said, "We won't be unprepared when facing these prehistoric beasts."
"It's only half an hour..." Wang Lei was obviously a little frustrated. "Half an hour, how can there be a solution? Will our defense fail?"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "… Even if we fail, at least we still have Crystal City! It is absolutely impossible for them to destroy Crystal City."
"I'm afraid it's not the time to think about dinosaurs yet." Xu Xin suddenly said in the group, "Everyone, those guys digging holes underground are almost here!"
Just now, he received a message from Qin Fu, who informed Xu Xin of the latest situation underground.
The forty-six tiger- and leopard-sized creatures underground were now less than thirty meters away from the trench they had dug!
The closer they got to this side, the smaller their digging movements became, and the slower they became.
However, with the fight on the ground already settled, even such a small movement was still captured by Xu Xin's enhanced hearing at this time.
Of course, at most he could only hear some unusual movements underground, and the real investigation still depended on Qin Fu.
Wen Guixin: "The next one is coming soon!"
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Quickly point our weapons at the ravine!"
Xu Xin: "They are basically at a depth of about five meters. They must have been dug out from the ravines."
Ji Chaoyang: "Be cautious. It's best to wait until most of them have dug themselves out and entered the ravine before attacking. Otherwise, the ones behind them may not even stick their heads out."
Wang Lei: "Brother Xin, your pangolin..."
Xu Xin glanced at the ditch outside the window: "They have already been dug and are on standby."
Wen Guixin: "Remember to ask them to bring me one or two so I can get infected. I can easily get infected by creatures the size of tigers and leopards."
Qin Yunlong: "That Tyrannosaurus Rex..."
Everyone was silent for a moment.
In the distance, a group of Tyrannosaurus Rex were walking towards this side slowly, each one of them seemed to not pay any attention to the World Tree at all.
As if their goal could definitely be achieved.
Of course, Tyrannosaurus Rex is not a social animal. A hundred Tyrannosaurus Rex acting collectively will not cause infighting among themselves. It is obvious that they are also controlled by someone.
The reason why the Tyrannosaurus Rex walked forward like this was probably because of the controller behind the scenes.
This group of Tyrannosaurus Rex may have the burst speed to travel quickly, but they cannot maintain it for long. Even the Blood-lined Tyrannosaurus Rex may not be able to avoid this situation.
Somewhat similar to Mimi.
Therefore, at this moment, they are obviously conserving their energy.
However, allowing Xu Xin and others to see the whereabouts of the Tyrannosaurus Rex so clearly gave them time to prepare, which actually exposed the arrogance of the controller.
It is obvious that the other party looks down on us.
The other party probably felt that even if they were given time to prepare, they would be helpless, so it would be better to let the dinosaurs save some energy and only start to exert their strength when they reach Crystal City. This way, there would be no risk of error.
All I can say is…
The other party's approach is indeed very reasonable.
The only way they could deal with the Tyrannosaurus Rex was to attack with all their might.
Throw all their weapons and resist them.
There is no way. They are now on the defensive, while the opponent is attacking. They are naturally at a disadvantage.
I can only endure it!
But before that…
"Deal with the underground creatures first, they're coming!" Xu Xin could already hear the rustling sounds in the ravine.
Obviously, the creatures below need to be dug out!
Sure enough, things turned out exactly as they expected.
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound and a sharp claw stretched out from the earth wall of the gully.
The claw seemed to be wondering why there was no soil or rocks in front of it, and it grabbed the air twice.
Then, its sharp claws like those of Wolverine grabbed directly into the rock wall below, and it penetrated into it easily as if it were tofu.
Then, with a force of the sharp claws, a big hole was immediately dug out in the earth wall.
Countless pieces of soil fell down and landed in the ravine.
And a head popped out from it.
"Huh?" Xu Xin's eyes widened immediately, "It turned out to be..."
Then, he slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, if we think of digging holes, then it should be them."
He was very familiar with this head.
Isn’t this the pangolin’s head!
There are blood streaks all over it!
This should be the group of pangolins he saw underground before!
The pangolin's beloved concubine and the two little pangolins were rescued by him because they were ostracized by the pangolin group!
After that, the burrows connecting the pangolin’s habitat disappeared, and he never encountered any other pangolins again.
But unexpectedly, this group of pangolins also participated in this plan!
Fortunately, the giant pangolin did not come.
However, even if the other party comes, they will be influenced by Crystal City and become one of our own.
etc…
These pangolins should have some giant beast blood, right? They are much bigger than normal pangolins!
Now, they are dug out of the ravine...
Sure enough, Xu Xin discovered that the bright blood patterns on the pangolin's body suddenly dimmed, and the pangolin seemed to be stunned.
There was no action for more than ten seconds.
"This is really... easy money!"
I'm afraid the other party didn't even consider the possibility of coming out of the ground.
After actual testing, they knew that the giant beast bloodline would not be affected by the Crystal City under the five-meter-thick soil layer, so they let this group of pangolins with giant beast bloodline carry out the task of stealing homes underground.
But they didn't expect that the explorers had sensed their underground mission and used the most stupid method, digging a circle of trenches directly in the World Tree!
Now it seems that this stupid method is the most effective.
This group of pangolins was directly exposed to the influence of Crystal City!
All around, the explorers' heavy crossbows on the World Tree were aimed downwards.
"Don't attack!" Xu Xin immediately reminded everyone in the group.
"Wait a minute!" At the same time, Ji Chaoyang also said something in the group.
It seems that he also noticed it.
Wang Lei: "A lot of them have come out, right? If we don't take action, they will... ah, one will fall down!"
A pangolin crawled out of the hole it had dug, then lost its grip and rolled into the ravine while making a sharp cry.
The scene was a bit funny for a while.
Ji Chaoyang: "These pangolins all have the blood of giant beasts. Don't take any action, just wait and see!"
Xu Xin also took over the conversation and said: "They may very well be our helpers!"
