Chapter 481
by fanqienovelChapter 481: Transforming a Rival for a Joint Performance
“Haha!”
“It’s been ages since I’ve had such an easy job!”
Although business had dropped by 40%, Trilobite was still very happy.
The project was a breeze for him—almost no challenge at all.
“Actually, nature’s evolution is all about tweaking and fixing what’s already there. A segment must be written based on code that existed before, and you can use tricks to expand or block it.”
“But you can’t start over from scratch!”
“So if I try ‘cross-line development’, it’ll take tons of effort.”
“Often, cross-superfamily development eats up a lot of energy too, but the Chaos Energy gain is just average.”
“Cross-family development is way simpler.”
“Especially when the overall size and shape stay pretty much the same.”
“Like this time.”
In the plesiosaur family, though it was split into several groups based on things like sagittal crest length, jaw joint size, how fang-like teeth were, or jaw bulges, those were minor details.
It was only because of diet, how the slender snout thickened, and other factors that different paths formed.
Their overall shape and layout were basically alike.
At least enough that outsiders couldn’t tell them apart easily.
Plus, marine animals had it easier growing larger; water’s buoyancy supported their bodies, so bone density rules weren’t as strict.
Body cavity size didn’t hurt agility much, and organ placement was straightforward.
So soon, Trilobite turned his client—Mr. Flat-nosed Strong Dragon—into…
“Haha!”
“A big star!”
“Still an old rival!”
“Let’s welcome, Mr. Smooth-side Mosasaurus!”
The Smooth-side Mosasaurus, actually called the Mosasaurus, with the species name Brutal Mosasaurus.
This dinosaur was likely the best-known marine predator among paleontology enthusiasts in the country; thanks to BBC’s slick production, its massive satellites, and CCTV’s push, it became a childhood memory and nightmare for many former kids, now grown-ups.
BBC claimed it was 25 meters long and 150 tons.
Honestly, if that was true, the Great White Shark and Leviathan were totally outmatched.
The Canglong from Jurassic World 2 might have put up a fight.
Of course, back then, a paleontologist had mistaken a Sauropod Dinosaurs fossil for a Brutal Mosasaurus; so the Brutal Mosasaurus got labeled as 15 meters long, a top marine predator rivaling the Great White Shark and Leviathan.
Then, with a scribble, BBC writers “gave” it an extra ten meters.
And that’s how this sea monster was born.
Of course, in reality…
The length ranged from 5 to 7 meters.
It weighed over 3 tons.
In an instant, the super sea monster that kicked Leviathan and punched the Great White Shark became a medium-sized predator on par with an orca.
Though in the Oxford Clay Formation where Brutal Mosasaurus lived, it remained the top predator, surpassing even Flat-nosed Strong Dragon.
But in actual combat power, Brutal Mosasaurus likely outmatched similarly sized orcas.
After all, this creature had a terrifying head-to-body ratio.
Flat-nosed Strong Dragon’s 5-to-6 head-to-body ratio was already intimidating, yet Brutal Mosasaurus reached an astonishing 4.5!
Meaning a 7-meter Brutal Mosasaurus might possess a head comparable to a 12-meter Canglong.
Truly formidable fighting prowess!
Honestly, while a 7-meter Brutal Mosasaurus couldn’t hunt Beautiful Nodosaurus—also around 7 meters—as depicted in "Walking with Dinosaurs," if that Large Head ever bit Beautiful Nodosaurus, death or severe injury would follow.
“Good!”
“I’ll owe the Chaos Energy for now!”
“Just remember the interest later!”
“Now, time to continue my journey…”
Just as Trilobite prepared to stride toward another swamp area to check his sapling…
【UnitUnderAttack!】
The System’s ominous alarm blared again.
The warning came from behind him!
His second paper young lady—the fierce red-haired pirate sister—had her avatar flashing crimson.
The only relief: though blood trickled from her forehead and lips, her mouth curled into a wild, ferocious grin!
“Ah…”
“Probably nothing serious!”
“If I hurry back, I should make it.”
“But seriously…”
“Who the hell is it!”
“Balls of steel!”
“I hadn’t even gone far!”
“And they pull this stunt!?”
“Even home invaders scout the main force’s position first!”
Furious, Trilobite whirled around.
“Always scheming villains targeting my paper young lady!”
Soon, he spotted the “villain” in the distance.
“Tsk…”
“I can’t believe it!”
“You thick-browed, big-eyed pioneers, have actually come to bully my paper young lady!”
“I had some respect for you all.”
—-
“Quick! Take cover!”
“Run!”
The Chosen Ones warriors, dressed in armor, were walking on the Far Reaching Star.
This place had turned into a ruin again.
Countless demons dropped from their “airdrop pods” like a rain of fire meteors, descending from the sky.
The Earth shook beneath them.
“Bang!”
“Boom!”
The demon “airdrop pods,” resembling biological sacs, smashed down to the ground, while tall demons roared as they walked on the Earth.
They wielded sharp axes and great swords formed from hellfire, beginning to destroy and slaughter everything in front of them, whether it moved or not.
“Ah!”
“Please save my children!”
A mother, holding three infants in her arms and carrying two on her back, ran through a sea of fire and ruins.
“Ha!”
The demons seemed like hunting dogs that had spotted fresh prey, rushing to chase after her!
“You and your rat-like offspring can’t escape!”
“Die!”
The giant axe was about to come down!
But at that moment…
“Bang——!”
“Pshhh——!”
An exploding projectile crashed into the head of the foremost demon, blowing it apart!
“Your opponent is me!”
“Demon!”
The Chosen Ones warriors, clad in sturdy armor, slowly approached!
In one hand, they held anti-material magical firearms or magical crossbows, and in the other, they wielded great swords entirely formed from Holy Light from the Sun!
“Thud! Thud! Thud!”
Heavy footsteps shook the ground.
The armor of these Chosen Ones warriors was thicker than that of ordinary Chosen Ones warriors.
They were like walking fortresses, steadily advancing forward, protecting the fleeing crowd behind them.
But the demons scoffed at the Chosen Ones warriors.
“Hahaha!”
“You’re killing me with laughter!”
“What use is your strength?!”
“Are there as many of you as there are of us?!”
“This time, a hundred thousand advanced chaotic demons immune to the so-called ‘Holy Light from the Sun’ interference had come!”
“How many are your elite Chosen Ones warriors worth…?”
Mid-sentence, the demon stopped.
Because…
“Swish… Swish… Swish…”
The sound of synchronized footsteps rang out.
Countless heavily armored Chosen Ones warriors formed a solid line, pressing forward like a wall!
Behind the first row of Chosen Ones warriors, there were second and third rows…
The main army of Chosen Ones warriors seemed endless!
“Sorry about this!”
The leading Chosen Ones warrior raised a large banner.
On the banner, there was a totem of “Fanged Giant Mouth” alongside patterns resembling wild grass.
“Our ‘Wild Grass War Organization’ actually had more members than you do among the invading ‘advanced demons’!”
