Doctor Hard's will to survive was strong. After continuous travel, his physical strength had reached its limit, yet he now erupted with astonishing speed, making Bai Ye marvel that humans were truly creatures of boundless potential.
Bai Ye thought to himself as he quickly caught up to Doctor Hard.
During the chase, Bai Ye glanced back. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was still hunting the Thunder Dragon, and it seemed unlikely to have time for the two of them. They should be able to escape alive.
However, just then...
Roar!
A roar suddenly sounded. Bai Ye felt the ground tremble around him again, and Doctor Hard's legs immediately turned to jelly, causing him to collapse onto the ground.
A second one...
A Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Doctor Hard sat slumped on the ground. About ten meters away, a second Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared, hunched over as if gnawing on something. It then turned its head, its gaze meeting Doctor Hard's.
And then...
Bang, bang, bang!
This Tyrannosaurus Rex was even larger than the one hunting the Thunder Dragon. When it ran, it sounded like a tank rumbling by.
Bai Ye quickly moved to Doctor Hard's side, grabbed him by the collar, pulled him up, and shoved him aside. "Are you trying to die?"
The instant Bai Ye spoke, he clutched a Dao Talisman in his hand.
"Earth Spell!"
As the talisman burned to ash, a stone wall suddenly erupted from the ground, blocking the Tyrannosaurus Rex's path.
Rumble!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex charged forward. The moment it collided with the stone wall, the wall was shattered.
The stone wall was only half the height of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Bai Ye hadn't expected the stone wall to stop the dinosaur; its purpose was merely to buy time.
"Ning Shuang, Sword Illusion Ice Frost!"
The Ning Shuang Sword flew forward rapidly, transforming into a surge of frigid air that swept past the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Crack, crack, crack!
The sound of ice freezing echoed. The Tyrannosaurus Rex's legs were steadily encased in ice, and the frost continued to spread upwards along its legs.
"Ning Shuang, Sword Control!"
After restricting the Tyrannosaurus Rex's movement with frost, Bai Ye changed his sword technique. The Ning Shuang Sword then transformed into a beam of light, heading straight for the Tyrannosaurus Rex's lower jaw.
With a 'poof,' the sound of flesh tearing rang out.
The Ning Shuang Sword pierced the Tyrannosaurus Rex's lower jaw, eliciting a furious roar. The pain clearly made the dinosaur even more frantic.
However, aside from its increased ferocity, the Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't seem to have suffered significant damage. Bai Ye had intended for the Ning Shuang Sword to pierce its head, but it was evident that the dinosaur's body was more resilient than expected, making this impossible.
In the next instant, the Tyrannosaurus Rex charged wildly at Bai Ye. Bai Ye quickly leaped to the side, bracing himself on the ground to create distance and evade the dinosaur's charge.
After regaining his balance, Bai Ye swiftly took out the Death Strike's magazine and retrieved the sniper rifle. He didn't even attach the scope, opting for a crouched shooting stance. After all, a distance of twenty to thirty meters was not difficult for Bai Ye to hit without scope assistance.
Bang, bang!
The gunshots rang out consecutively. Bullets repeatedly struck the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body, causing blood to splatter. Then, the Tyrannosaurus Rex charged forward again.
This wasn't entirely useless, but at least...
It wasn't very useful!
Bai Ye retracted his rifle and quickly ran. His most powerful attack was the invisible explosion, followed by the Ning Shuang Sword and the Death Strike. If these two weren't effective, then...
Bai Ye bent down sharply, marking a spot on the ground, and deliberately slowed his pace, luring the Tyrannosaurus Rex to the marked spot, and then...
Boom!
The sound of an explosion suddenly erupted, and waves of blast energy rolled outwards in all directions. The surrounding grass leaves swayed, creating a wave of greenery.
However, after its massive body shook, the Tyrannosaurus Rex quickly stood upright again. Blood trickled from its legs due to the explosion, but that was all.
"Does it have to be so monstrous!"
Bai Ye cursed and continued to run rapidly, then summoned the Gachapon Machine.
Bai Ye needed to find something that could kill the Tyrannosaurus Rex. His hope lay in the Gachapon Machine. Of course, he wouldn't use the God Shard; with the God Stone Shard, Bai Ye was 100% confident in completing the mission, but he would incur a significant loss.
Therefore, whether it succeeded or not...
Depended on fate!
Bai Ye thought as he rapidly turned the Gachapon Machine. With the sound of the machine whirring, a white capsule dropped out.
Seeing that the capsule was white, Bai Ye's heart sank by half. He then opened it to find a card inside.
Little Bubble Gum: Until the sweetness of this bubble gum disappears, your speed and strength increase by 10 points.
Bai Ye remained unfazed. It was just a white capsule; what was he expecting, a bicycle?
Popping the bubble gum into his mouth, Bai Ye immediately bolted again without hesitation.
The next moment...
Clang.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex charged forward, and the Gachapon Machine was sent flying over ten meters away. Fortunately, this thing was indestructible and vanished before it hit the ground.
However, with the last capsule having failed to yield anything worthwhile, Bai Ye had no other options. He could only wish Doctor Hard the best of luck and focus on himself.
As Bai Ye thought this, he scanned his surroundings and a curse escaped his lips.
Good heavens, that guy was fast. He had actually run off and left him behind.
Bai Ye grumbled, then a flash of inspiration struck him. The 'Great Inventor' ability might also be worth a gamble, and it could be used once per hour. He could create something right now.
Moreover, even if this ability wasn't very reliable, it didn't mean it was entirely useless.
That one-time 'Light Sword' could only strike once, but its power was astonishing. If it were still available, it might have been possible to slay the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
If that's the case, let's gamble again!
As the saying goes, gamblers die a horrible death...
No, it should be, gambling doesn't necessarily mean losing!
Bai Ye thought as he activated the Great Inventor's ability.
"Create!"
In the next instant, white light enveloped Bai Ye's head. Soon, a fist-sized blue metal block dropped from the sky, landing in Bai Ye's hand. It looked a bit like a Rubik's Cube.
Cluster Bomb: A cluster bomb made from a composite energy block, with immense destructive power.
Bai Ye was bewildered. This was a cluster bomb?
In Bai Ye's understanding, cluster bombs were typically aerial missiles, a type of missile that detonated a large number of smaller bombs together, hence also known as alphabet bombs.
And the small object in his hand was only about the size of a fist. Could this thing be a cluster bomb? How many sub-munitions could fit into such a small space?
However, seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex rapidly catching up from behind, its maw agape, Bai Ye decided not to overthink it. What was the point of thinking so much when he could just try it out!
