Chapter 1 Shadows in the Dark

The shadows rioted in the darkness. The deinonychus had already leaped into the air, its incomparably sharp claws aimed at Fang Senyan, ready to gouge.

Fang Senyan took a deep breath. The camouflage military uniform he had hastily put on was already ill-fitting, and now it "kǎlā" sound as his bulging muscles burst through seven or eight cracks. He leaped high, meeting the attack head-on, gripping the hilt of his long knife with both hands, and slashing down with force from above!

Since there was no road, then he would carve one out!

A mournful blue light flickered and swept past!

With this slash, the wind howled. Coupled with Fang Senyan's attack while sprinting, borrowing a fierce momentum, this slash carried a faint sound of wind and thunder, as if even his internal organs were quietly and dully resonating.

Although the deinonychus's pouncing and hunting momentum was swift and fierce, it was sent flying by the raging force hidden within the +7 West when it collided head-on. Then, in that instant, the blade of the long knife heavily slashed across the deinonychus's chest and abdomen. A terrible tearing sound rang out, and the unlucky fellow staggered backward. After landing with a thud, a large amount of blood spurted from its abdomen.

Of course, Fang Senyan was also injured by the deinonychus's claws. However, he seemed to realize that this monster was somewhat of a paper tiger. The claws looked excellent, as if they were plated with stainless steel, and were extremely sharp, but their power was not as great as he had imagined when they gouged him.

After injuring the enemy with one slash, Fang Senyan rolled after landing and continued running. Strangely, the severely wounded deinonychus was unexpectedly fierce. It let out a cry of pain after landing and immediately pounced on Fang Senyan again.

Seeing that this guy wouldn't let him go, Fang Senyan immediately followed up with another fierce horizontal slash! While the deinonychus was digging its claws into Fang Senyan with force, Fang Senyan's terrifying blow immediately struck its body again!

The +7 West required considerable strength. Usually, it required both hands to wield its full power. For such a heavy weapon, after weighing the mechanics and human structure, it was naturally honed to the extreme. Once it entered a high-speed motion state, its inertia was also enormous, and the resulting damage was quite terrifying.

This slash directly struck the deinonychus's head. Fang Senyan even felt the crisp cracking sensation of "smashing walnuts." Suffering another heavy blow, the deinonychus screamed miserably and fell to the ground with a "thud," struggling violently. A mouthful of blood gushed out, containing broken skull fragments and pieces of internal organs. Even a body strengthened by dinosaur genes could not withstand such a heavy blow.

However, the gaze of this monster was still fiery red and ferocious, full of venomous killing intent. Clearly, physical pain was nothing to it. The only thing it craved was to fiercely chew the flesh of the prey in front of it, drink the blood of the prey in front of it, and make all creatures tremble under its brutality and might!

Compared to the deinonychus Fang Senyan and the others had encountered before, this deinonychus had several times the fighting spirit and appearance of the latter. If the deinonychus they were encountering now was a regular army, then the ones they encountered before could only be called a ragtag army.

Fang Senyan did not notice this at this time. He only wanted this guy in front of him to get out of the way. Once he saw that the road ahead became smooth and unobstructed, he would immediately flee!

After running nearly two hundred meters, he immediately saw the slum area with low buildings, as Reef had said. Most of these were illegally built temporary structures, to put it bluntly, similar to some "urban villages" around cities nowadays.

To be honest, Fang Senyan didn't think the Tyrannosaurus Rex would have any scruples in this terrain. For its huge size, running on the previous streets was like a person running in a forest. It was difficult to accelerate, and if you weren't careful, you would bump into a tree trunk and see stars.

But if they were to engage in a chase in this shantytown, the difficulty of running would be even greater than running on the streets for him. But for the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it was like running in knee-high grass. No matter how much he changed direction, it would not be dazed!

"Damn it, is that document lying? Should I go in or not?" Faced with this situation, Fang Senyan hesitated for a moment, but he immediately noticed an extremely strange thing, that the terrifying vibration that had been fiercely transmitted like the Grim Reaper chasing him had disappeared in a bizarre way!

This could only mean one thing, that the Tyrannosaurus Rex patted its butt and turned around and left dejectedly...

"What's going on?" After escaping the pursuit, a great question arose in Fang Senyan's heart: "Could it be that the guy's illness flared up? No, I've already done the experiment before. As far as my low-level diseases are concerned, the symptoms on dinosaurs are not obvious."

The more Fang Senyan thought about it, the more he felt that something was very wrong. At this time, he not only did not have the joy of surviving a disaster, but he felt an extremely strong sense of horror!

Because the reason for this is actually very simple. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, as the name suggests, knows this guy's xingge (character) and strength.

What kind of terrifying existence would be able to make this dinosaur, which could almost be regarded as the most powerful dinosaur in single combat, retreat, and still retreat from a state of rage, and slink away like a stray dog???

Now Fang Senyan recalled what was said in that document...it seemed that his previous understanding was obviously wrong. Coming to this slum area with low buildings, was not about using the terrain at all. The truth should be...in such an environment, there might be monsters growing that even the Tyrannosaurus Rex was very afraid of!

At this moment, Reef suddenly said anxiously in the team channel: "Boss? Boss? Can you hear me? Are you okay?"

Fang Senyan immediately felt a chill in his heart and said, "I'm fine." Reef said in a hoarse voice: "I...request reinforcements! I can't hold on anymore!" Fang Senyan was shocked. He knew that Reef was actually extremely conceited in his heart, especially after successfully advancing to a colonizer. Even in the last hidden world, he had shown himself to be brave and fearless. For him to say the five words "I can't hold on anymore," it was almost harder than killing him.

"Where are you? The crisis on my side has been resolved!" "West, a motel on the west side. Do you see it? The sign has collapsed in half, it's a three-story building," Reef said breathlessly.

Fang Senyan immediately looked around and found that it was located exactly on the route he had planned before, about five hundred meters ahead, on the periphery of the slum area with low buildings.

Reef said intermittently: "I want to land and help...Damn it, get out of here, taste my shield...I didn't expect that just after going downstairs, I encountered these damned monsters' siege, you must be careful!"

At this time, Fang Senyan's heart had sunk. Obviously, the monster that had forced Reef to be out of breath was definitely the reason why the Tyrannosaurus Rex had strangely escaped. Without saying a word, he had already rushed towards that side. When he was less than thirty meters away from that motel, he suddenly saw an indescribable light emitting from the motel. The dazzling light refracted crazily like arrows, thorns, and spears, as if the sun had exploded in an instant. The temperature of the light was so hot that it ignited the building in an instant!

"Reef even used that move??" Fang Senyan's heart sank. Obviously, such a spectacular scene must be Reef using the ability of his dark gold shield: Dazzling Radiance! If it wasn't a last resort and the situation was critical, he would never release this move.

Fang Senyan suddenly lunged forward, hugged his head with his hands, and directly crashed into the wall next to the dilapidated motel, ran up the decaying stairs, and rushed to the third floor, but he saw Reef half-kneeling on the ground, in a dying state, with six or seven monsters still attacking him crazily.

Taking advantage of the burning fire next to him, Fang Senyan was shocked. The monsters that had put Reef in such a mess in such a short period of time were actually deinonychus! Obviously, they were the "enhanced version" of the deinonychus that he had killed one of earlier in a short period of time!

"What's going on?" Fang Senyan was stunned, and he first threw a bottle of curse potion on the ground to attract the attention of the guys who were attacking Reef.

Strangely, Fang Senyan didn't feel that these "enhanced version" deinonychus had any particularly strong abilities, except that their attack speed was very fast. He skillfully led these guys into the room next door, and conveniently used a bottle of continuous recovery potion on Reef.

As soon as Reef woke up from his dying state, he immediately shouted: "Be careful, the damage of these guys is very abnormal, it's true damage!"

Fang Senyan's heart trembled. While he could still cope with it, he immediately went to check the combat log. Soon, a series of prompts popped up: "The mutated deinonychus has dealt 40 points of true damage to you, your defense will not have any effect..."

"Your talent: Bulwark is in conflict with true damage, calculating."

"Data disorder, your talent: Bulwark takes effect, you will only suffer 1 point of base damage." "The mutated deinonychus has dealt 43 points of true damage to you, your defense will not have any effect..." "Your talent: Bulwark is in conflict with true damage, calculating." "Data disorder, your talent: Bulwark takes effect, you will only suffer 3 points of base damage." (To be continued.
