Twilight Dragon, the smallest carnivorous dinosaur, stands only about 40 to 50 centimeters tall.
However, do not underestimate these little creatures. They are extremely ferocious, possessing sickle-like claws and dagger-like teeth, with extremely powerful hind limbs that allow them to jump high. Due to the large number of Twilight Dragon fossils discovered, some scientists infer that they may have lived in packs.
Therefore, when these small creatures hunt in groups, their danger level is absolutely not to be underestimated.
Dr. Hard fired two shots at close range, both hitting their mark, killing one Twilight Dragon with each shot, much like shooting rabbits. However, the third Twilight Dragon suddenly leaped up, its claws raking across Dr. Hard's arm, leaving two terrifying claw marks.
Dr. Hard screamed and retreated, with more Twilight Dragons gathering around, ready to pounce and tear at him.
Four or five Twilight Dragons leaped from the ground simultaneously, arriving in front of Dr. Hard.
In that instant, Dr. Hard felt he was about to die.
But at that very moment...
Bai Ye suddenly leaped out from behind and pressed the switch of the lightsaber in his hand.
Hum, hum, hum...
As the switch was activated, a piercing hum sounded, followed by a beam of light rising from the hilt and then sweeping forward.
Almost instantly, the Twilight Dragons leaping from the ground were all slain by Bai Ye, their bodies cut in half and falling to the ground.
Bai Ye glanced at the lightsaber in his hand, his expression one of surprise.
This thing is awesome!
Although Twilight Dragons are considered weak dinosaurs due to their size, killing four or five with one strike, and Bai Ye felt no resistance at the moment of impact, cutting through their bodies as easily as slicing paper, was enough to show the terror of the lightsaber.
"Interesting!"
Bai Ye exclaimed, then aimed at a leaping Twilight Dragon to his side and swung again with force. Then...
A piercing pain instantly struck him.
Bai Ye bared his teeth and looked, only to see that Twilight Dragon had bitten his arm.
Bai Ye looked at his lightsaber with a bewildered expression. How did it become just a hilt?
Then...
Bai Ye suddenly understood something and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
A flash of light!
The light flashed and was gone...
"Damn it!" Bai Ye dropped the lightsaber, grabbed the Twilight Dragon's body with one hand, ripped it off, and tossed it aside, saying, "It really just disappeared after one flash!"
As he threw the Twilight Dragon away, Bai Ye made a grasping motion with his hand. The Frost Sword swiftly flew into Bai Ye's hand. Immediately, Bai Ye raised his sword and brought it down, slicing a leaping Twilight Dragon in half.
"The Frost Sword is still better," Bai Ye sighed, then shouted to Dr. Hard, "Run forward, quickly."
Dr. Hard nodded and immediately ran forward.
Bai Ye also quickly followed, but the Twilight Dragons were relentless, chasing them closely. Then...
Bai Ye aimed at the position where the Twilight Dragons were chasing and suddenly shouted, "Explode!"
Boom, boom!
The invisible explosive markers Bai Ye had set in advance proved useful at this moment. A rumbling roar suddenly erupted, and trees collapsed and fell.
The pursuing Twilight Dragons were instantly blown away.
Bai Ye and Dr. Hard then slowed their pace, looking back to confirm that no Twilight Dragons were chasing them.
"Let's keep moving!" Bai Ye patted Dr. Hard's shoulder and said, "Although we escaped this time, we can't stay in this place any longer."
Dr. Hard nodded and continued to follow Bai Ye forward.
After the continuous attacks, both Bai Ye and Dr. Hard became more vigilant.
However, when misfortune strikes too often, luck seems to turn. By dawn, Bai Ye and Dr. Hard had not encountered any other dinosaurs.
Even when they went to Research Institute No. 3 to retrieve the Amber Stone, they encountered no danger.
Watching the sunlight filter through the treetops, Bai Ye said, "Should we have left the management area by now?"
Dr. Hard nodded. "If we calculate the distance, we left an hour ago. We've now entered the recreational area, where there are more dinosaurs. The reason we haven't encountered any is probably just good luck?"
As soon as Dr. Hard finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar.
Bai Ye immediately formed a sword seal, causing the Frost Sword to hover beside him, while casting a resentful glance at Dr. Hard. What a jinx you are!
But when Bai Ye looked at Dr. Hard, he found Dr. Hard's face filled with excitement, showing no fear at all.
"We're saved!" Dr. Hard grabbed Bai Ye and said, "Let's go quickly!"
Bai Ye watched Dr. Hard run out excitedly, following the sound, and quickly followed, asking in confusion, "What's going on?"
"We've found bodyguards," Dr. Hard said. "That's the roar of a Brontosaurus."
Bai Ye tilted his head. "Huh?"
Dr. Hard explained, "Brontosauruses are herbivorous dinosaurs with very gentle temperaments. They never retaliate unless attacked. Moreover, few other dinosaurs are willing to provoke these giants because, although Brontosauruses lack sharp claws, they have strong teeth, immense bite force, and are numerous."
Bai Ye, not being foolish, immediately understood. "We've found a herd of Brontosauruses, and we'll follow them to escort us?"
Dr. Hard nodded excitedly.
The two immediately quickened their pace. After about fifteen minutes, a large expanse of light appeared ahead, and Bai Ye and Dr. Hard emerged from the forest.
Before them lay a vast lake, where about eight or nine Brontosauruses were drinking by the water's edge, occasionally lifting their heads and letting out calls.
Dr. Hard gestured, signaling Bai Ye to follow behind him.
As they walked, Dr. Hard said, "Although Brontosauruses are gentle and rarely attack proactively, that's by the standards of their own kind. So, we should try not to be seen by them..."
Dr. Hard said this while pointing behind the Brontosauruses.
"Brontosauruses have very long necks but small heads, which obstruct their vision. When they aren't looking down, they can't see the sides of their bodies, and even when looking down, it's hard for them to see things behind or diagonally behind them. So, we just need to follow behind them." Dr. Hard thought for a moment and said, "There's only one thing we need to be careful about."
Bai Ye asked, "What is it?"
Dr. Hard replied, "Don't get stepped on."
Bai Ye was speechless, but after looking at the size of the Brontosauruses, he felt it made sense. These were true behemoths, on a completely different level from Velociraptors and the like. They must weigh at least ten tons, and one step from them would send him either to heaven or on the way to it.
