Chapter 38 Obviously Something Was Going On

Mingmei, with her sharper hearing, naturally didn't miss anything she'd just heard. Mu Chen, noticing Mingmei's sudden absent-mindedness, waved a hand in front of her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah… nothing." Mingmei's expression was complicated. She clearly had something on her mind, but with so many people around, she couldn't easily share what she'd heard with Mu Chen.

She'd had Gui Gui investigate Lu Xiaoyao's affairs extensively before, and then she'd talked with her uncle. Hearing these whispers now, Mingmei couldn't help but sigh, "It's always something new when you keep listening."

Lu Xiaoyao's story was quite complex, wasn't it?

She seemed to have stumbled upon so much without even trying.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the dinosaur beneath them lurched out of the water. This sudden head-raising caught everyone standing on its head off guard, and some even fell!

"What's going on? Ouch!"

The players on the heads of the other dinosaurs also cried out as they lost their balance due to the sudden movements.

Mu Chen steadied Mingmei while also observing the situation of the players next to them.

They couldn't see why their own dinosaur suddenly rose, but they could see their neighbors, and what Mu Chen saw startled him!

"Ambush!"

The moment the opposite dinosaur emerged from the water, its eight- or nine-meter-long neck was covered in a dense layer of fish, each the size of an adult's forearm, tightly biting into—only the outer layer of skin!

The thick, long neck, compared to the noticeably small fish, made Mingmei want to shout, "Are you trying to become dried fish?"

Just as they were contemplating how to kill these little fish, their dinosaur suddenly moved, tilting its body and bringing its neck close to the neighboring dinosaur's neck. The two dinosaurs were now "hugging" each other.

Quickly, the necks rubbed against each other, dislodging all the fish.

In the moonlight, the two-foot-long fish opened their mouths, their rows of fine, sharp teeth glinting coldly. Their frenzied aura seemed to convey the belief that as long as they could bite open a small hole, they could tear apart these behemoths!

Unfortunately, while the long-necked dinosaurs were enormous and somewhat clumsy, they benefited from mutual assistance.

However, some of the more active fish jumped onto the necks of the dinosaurs below. After a few leaps, quite a few even jumped onto their heads, heading straight for Mingmei and the others!

"Don't let a single one escape!"

Seeing these fish courting death repeatedly, Mu Chen and Lu Gui issued their commands simultaneously. The other players on the dinosaur heads naturally understood what they meant.

"Yes!"

Although these things were small, they understood the principle of ants killing elephants.

Since they were being delivered to their doorstep, there was no reason to send them back.

"Slaughter these small fries!"

These small fish desperately wanted to bite through the giants before them!

They even wanted to take a bite out of the things on top of the giants' heads!

However, not only were the long-necked dinosaurs helping each other, making it difficult to deal with them, but the players on their heads were even more difficult to handle!

If these fish had brains and could complain, they'd probably be flooding the screen with "Fishy's life is hard, the whole world is against Fishy, QAQ!"

Mingmei and the others not only killed all the fish that accidentally jumped up, but also threw their corpses into the sea.

After that, their fellow fish seemed to be lured by the bloody scent on the corpses, and simply changed direction to eat their "own kind" first.

After Mingmei discovered this, she even had Zhen Po cut off a small piece of the toad corpse and throw it into the sea.

The effect was like blasting a fishpond!

In less than ten minutes, the players watched as many dead fish with their bellies up floated on the sea, while their surviving companions continued to devour the corpses of their dead, continuing to expand the casualties without realizing it.

For a time, the players couldn't help but marvel at how these fish really weren't picky and dared to eat anything.

After nearly an hour of fighting, the players were exhausted and squatted down to gnaw on jerky. The long-necked dinosaurs returned to their original state and continued swimming.

But such peace was still short-lived.

Soon, a baby dinosaur on the head of an adult long-necked dinosaur cried out uneasily. The player there was the first to notice the baby dinosaur's unease and gestured to the players on the heads of the surrounding dinosaurs.

"What's wrong?"

Mingmei and the others asked the Zhen brothers, who were guarding the baby dinosaur next to them. Zhen Hu touched the baby's neck with one hand and pointed to the dark sea with the other, saying, "There seems to be something down there."

"Not those little fish from before?"

After Mu Chen asked, he saw the other party smile wryly and nod, "Big, very dangerous."

These words immediately silenced everyone who had been chatting, and the scene fell silent.

Big.

This word made the players who had done some basic research before going into the water feel a pang in their hearts.

They had been harboring the hope that there were many other desolate beasts and animals in this sea with them, but after the attack of those small fries earlier, they were the only ones who had completely survived.

In other words, they were the biggest target for anything swimming in the sea trying to escape for their lives!

They were the biggest piece of "meat"!

"Don't panic, there are other desolate beasts nearby. The baby's unease just proves that it's also hesitating, seemingly wary…"

Before Lu Gui could finish speaking, a semi-circular arc, like a small mountain, suddenly rose from the calm sea not far from them, and the entire sea was instantly turbulent!

"I'll be damned!"

Everyone immediately lowered their bodies to steady themselves, while gripping their weapons and staring intently at a medium-sized dinosaur that suddenly leaped out of the sea under the moonlight.

Before everyone could admire its agile figure and the fact that it was covered in muscles, a gaping abyss followed it out of the water!

The mouth opened wide, swallowing the dinosaur that had just leaped out of the water whole!

The whole process was like a person swallowing a boiled egg in one gulp, without any effort.

Everyone: 0.0!!

"Damn it! That desolate beast has to be eight or nine meters long?! And it just swallowed it?!"

Against the backdrop of the giant silver moon, no one could see the full picture of the monster that swallowed the dinosaur. Did it just have a mouth?

"Aang—"

Before the players, still reeling from the shocking scene, could explode with discussion, the adult long-necked dinosaurs seemed to accelerate in the water!

The other floating dinosaurs around them did the same, and the atmosphere seemed to become tense due to the shocking and terrifying scene just now.

Everyone seemed to want to escape this area, and they all sped up.

Mingmei and the others crouched on the heads of the long-necked dinosaurs, all on high alert. Zhen Po even held the remaining part of the toad that had poisoned the small fries earlier tightly in his hand.

"No, with such a big fish, that toad is barely enough to fill its teeth, there's no need…"

Zhen Hu looked at him, as if his whole being was focused on the toad's poison, and felt it was a bit rash.

Who knew that Zhen Po would look dejected and say, "Do you think I don't know that? The key is… can I catch a toad big enough to fill its teeth?"

Zhen Hu: "…?"
