Chapter 688: Modified…...world!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Battered down by a wave of assaults, the first Deinonychus was slayed after releasing an anguished roar. The manner of its demise was extremely pitiful.
Numerous bloodied and mangled holes were corroded throughout its body by the vile toxins of the ‘Corrosynthesis’ ability. Patches of green fur remained disheveled alongside those bloodied holes, as though it had died for a long while and fungus had started growing on it.
The other Deinonychus then demonstrated appalling cruelty, as they lunged forward and shredded their comrade’s carcass as food.
Sheyan continued observing the development of this battle as he fought, and after killing off another two Deinonychus, he calmly ordered.
"Retreat to the second line of defence, I’ll cover the front."
While speaking, Sheyan smashed a ‘Bear’s strength’ curse-mix, simultaneously stunning his opponents and lowering their strength.
As the dull greenish fog spreaded out, Reef immediately retreated after unleashing a ‘Shattering Cardiac Roar’. Concurrently, he hurriedly used a bandage to restore some of his HP.
Seizing this chance, the trio slowly retreated deeper into the bank. The bank’s back trading hall and front counter area was separated by an isolating bullet-proof glass. Still, there was a sliding entrance door and passageway connecting them, where the trio utilized it as their second line of defence.
This entrance was extremely narrow, where one person would be enough to block off access. After slaying another four Deinonychus by exploiting the narrowness of the entrance, Sheyan withdrew to rest.
Meanwhile, Reef had finished recovering to full strength with medicine and replaced him. Concurrently, the dinosaurs outside weren’t idling and queuing up for their turn either, but rampaged around looking to break in from another point of access.
Yet when their search yielded no fruits, they charged crazily in succession and slammed against the isolating bullet-proof glass; using their incisive claws to scratch frantically at it.
Amidst the terrifying roars, cracks emerged throughout the glass as ceiling dust rained down from above! As the chaotic sounds clashed together, eardrums were shook to the brink of utmost pain.
Not too long later, the isolating bullet-proof appeared to be on the verge of shattering.
In this instant, Brother Black abruptly released a piercing warning whistle. A grenade launcher extension, the size of a flashlight, had been equipped onto his golden AK. Then, a rifle grenade jetted out with a trail of spiralling fumes, flying above the glass, and landed in the middle of the enraged dinosaurs that were slamming against the glass.
Boom! It exploded sonorously! Exploding the dinosaurs into mutilated flesh that scattered in all directions. As it turns out, while idling in the realm, Brother Black had seemingly acquired certain benefits which quietly upgraded his battle capabilities.
The Deinonychus were creatures that moved in packs. With their impressive agility and numbers advantage, yet still possessing pretty adequate offensive might, then without a doubt, their defence were shockingly low and their health a great disadvantage. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be considered as mere ordinary creatures in this world.
During this period of bombardment, Reef and Sheyan slew another three of the Deinonychus. However, the bullet-proof glass was already filled with innumerable cobweb like cracks.
Just when the trio were about to retreat into the bank’s internal treasury, a shrilling roar thundered in from outside. When those Deinonychus heard that roar, they unexpectedly retreated back like a receding tide!
Sheyan instantly perceived that these dinosaurs possessed substantial intellect which probably exceeded his initial expectation. Once their pack suffered damages that surpassed a threshold, they wouldn’t hesitate to call for a retreat.
Sheyan immediately activated ‘Horn-Rage’ towards the a retreating Deinonychus. After colliding against it, he quickly dove to block off the bank’s main entrance and hurled out a ‘Stinkbug’ curse-mix to impede a flock of 7-8 retreating Deinonychus. These 7-8 dinosaurs had already suffered grave injuries previously, and with Sheyan and Reef blocking them off while Mogensha volleyed bullets in from behind, only three managed to escape the evil clutches of Party Ace in the end.
In this battle alone, they estimatedly slaughtered a total of 23 Deinonychus, and to a Deinonychus pack that normally wouldn’t exceed 30 in numbers, it could be said as a massive defeat.
Strangely, these dinosaurs didn’t drop a single key, but instead dropped six objects known as – [ Tiny Dinocrystal ]. They were the same crystals that Joseph and Kaoyi extracted previously, and their usefulness remained unknown to the trio.
When Sheyan examined a ‘Tiny Dinocrystal’, he immediately received a list of notification.
[ Tiny Silicate Magnesium Energy Crystal ]
[ Description: A solidified substance found inside a dinosaur’s body, analogous to items like a bezoar or the stones of a dog’s bladder. Through research discoveries, these dinocrystals are found to contain a mystical substance, which special properties can be harvested through modular liquid-liquid extraction capabilities. A single dinocrystal of energy is equivalent to 1,000 barrels of petroleum, where all manufacturing cost can be neglected ]
[ You can exchange this crystal with any governmental official or private agencies in exchange for wonderful rewards – an ample briefcase of cash, sexy perky assed girls, Miami beach lands....oh woah, one can simply imagine the pleasurable indulgence with sufficient dinocrystals ]
"Seems like a token eh? But where should it be exchanged at? Sheyan mused to himself.
Consecutively, a dull radiance emanated from the trio where their nightmare imprint transmitted a list of notifications.
[ Party Ace has entered this world through a ‘Space-Time Wormhole’..... ]
[ Contestants have already interacted with this world, resulting in a butterfly effect upon the mechanism and environment of this world ]
[ Assimilating Party Ace into this world, importing data…...please wait ]
[ Initializing matching of data….. ]
[ Data matched ]
[ World identified. Assimilating Party Ace with this world... ]
[ Entering world... ]
[ Seventy million years ago, a mosquito was unfortunately fossilized in amber ]
[ Contained within the mosquito’s belly, was shockingly a drop of dinosaur blood from its recent feast ]
[ With the assistance of avant garde biotechnology, the drop of blood gave rise to countless possibilities. Once again, the hegemons of eons past have resurfaced on planet Earth! ]
[ Soon, the island for dinosaur research encountered repeated mysterious invasions ]
[ The survivability and reproduction capabilities of the dinosaurs were mysteriously enhanced. Soon, dinosaurs appeared in coastal urbanized cities and begun propagating….. ]
[ With the appearance of mysterious crystals, governments were stricken with wild ecstasy. With greedy and corrupted politicians working in the shadows...henceforth, the catastrophe of dinosaurs commenced... ]
[ Ah, the Jurassic has now once again overtaken the world! ]
After browsing through the notifications, Sheyan immediately realized that it was very likely the storyline of this world had been widely modified.
Originally, it should be Jurassic Park, with the storyline revolving around the dinosaur island. However, with extensive involvement by the Symbiosis Sect or Illume-union, the storyline had been greatly modified!
Possibly, they first altered and enhanced the genetics of the dinosaurs,for which they probably used genetic modification tools like viruses of the Resident Evil world, or other variations from worlds like Anaconda, blood orchid etc. Then, an event occurred that helped the dinosaurs reach and propagate within coastal cities.
Following that, to prevent governments from relying on weapons of mass destruction, they managed to modify the genes or researched the formation of such dinocrystals in the dinosaur’s bodies. Thus, the dinosaurs became exceedingly profitable, forcing the governments to rely on milder firearm tactics to hunt down the dinosaurs. Hence, such a queer equilibrium had formed.
Sheyan’s suspicion definitely wasn’t mere baseless conjecture. The most basic proof of this, would be Fanu’s exceptionally daunting Stegosaurus!
Through the notifications, Sheyan faintly managed to grasp some information. Looking in perspective, Fanu’s dinosaur was probably at least a tier-2 or tier-3 legendary creature existence. Even for a Growth-Hunter to tame a legendary creature, the chances would be close to zero.
Therefore, the only explanation would be Sheyan’s aforementioned speculation. Frankly speaking, Sheyan truly admired the Symbiosis sect for coming up with such a method. They actually envisioned to modify an entire world to achieve their goals and ambitions! Such astute scheming to tremendous impact the grand scale of affairs, truthfully speaking, even Sheyan felt rather ashamed and inferior.
At this moment, a list of notification projected out.
