But the Dragon Bird’s cries didn’t last long before suddenly stopping.
Jiang Si and Zheng Fan looked over in confusion, discovering that the Dragon Bird had tensed up again, its gaze fixed on something beyond Jiang Si’s head.
Rumble!
Lightning and thunder flashed in succession, and in that instant, through the Dragon Bird’s eyes, they saw a colossal creature.
The two immediately looked up.
A truly massive maw, an enormous head, lantern-like eyes, and sharp pupils stared coldly at Jiang Si. Beneath its scales, tightly packed powerful muscles contained explosive strength.
And those adorable little short arms.
It was a classic among classics, an indispensable majestic presence in most people’s impression of dinosaurs.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Moreover, it was even larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex size predicted by normal reconstructions. At such close range, it was right behind them, and the oppressive feeling for Jiang Si was even more terrifying.
Zheng Fan was very excited; although he had passed the age of being passionate about dinosaurs, and could even transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex himself, seeing a real one, even if he probably knew it wasn't real, but merely a “mimicry” of some existence, he still couldn't help but be thrilled by the sense of reality it brought.
Of course, excitement aside, questions also arose.
How did such a massive thing quietly approach them from behind on the concrete ground?
Jiang Si held the Dragon Bird, her body tensing up just like the Dragon Bird’s. As a Killing demon, she could well understand her and the Dragon Bird’s current state.
The tension of prey being targeted by a hunter.
Mere dinosaurs…
A car approached head-on, its high beams shining directly on the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The driver seemed to realize what it was, and in panic, tried to hit the brakes but instead slammed the accelerator to the floor, only able to frantically honk the horn.
Jiang Si immediately dodged, and the vehicle sped past, crashing directly into one of the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s legs.
Bang!
A loud crash erupted, the car windows shattered, and the car became scrap metal, but this Tyrannosaurus Rex merely looked down quietly, completely unfazed.
See? Even a real Tyrannosaurus Rex wouldn’t be completely unharmed if hit by a high-speed vehicle.
This thing is purely a product of Illusion!
People can see and touch it, which means it’s a Phantasms?
But how did this Phantasms manage to move silently?
The Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of them moved, its heavy footsteps clearly shaking the ground, completely unlike an ambush predator.
Zheng Fan looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which moved past him, its target directed at Jiang Si: “Panic?”
It wasn’t a bait Phantasms for luring, but a distortion of phenomena caused by panic.
Jiang Si had learned that dinosaur rumors had been circulating for a long time, but actual injury incidents had only just occurred yesterday. Surely, the dinosaurs in the earlier rumors weren’t all just ordinary herbivores, were they? Let alone causing harm, there seemed to be few reliable traces left behind.
The baiting habit of a bait Illusion is primarily about locking onto and guiding targets; how could it directly attack a target? That goes against the bait’s purpose and the needs of a bait Illusion.
Clearly, these dinosaurs are creating a kind of panic.
Before, it was in the preliminary brewing stage, but now they are further intensifying and inciting panic by creating actual incidents, pushing the situation to the next step.
Because Zheng Fan also wanted to play like this in the future, he had consulted Lin Yilin a lot, and with the fragments he encountered today, he quickly pieced together a reliable conjecture.
Zheng Fan thought as he followed behind the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Ahead, Jiang Si couldn’t stand being chased anymore. It was just a mere dinosaur!
She turned around, extended one hand, and multiple Red Lines pierced out, shooting towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex’s pupils contracted: “Roar!”
A deafening roar erupted, forming a substantial sound wave impact that repelled most of the Red Lines. The remaining Red Lines were also disrupted, staggering and not extending far before being repelled by its hard hide, at most leaving faint bloody marks.
“The movies I watched as a kid didn’t have this kind of Tyrannosaurus Rex!” Jiang Si couldn’t help but exclaim, seeing the absurd performance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of her.
Zheng Fan teleported beside her: “Then the filmmakers of the movies you watched were serious. If I show you ‘Jurassic World’ later, you won’t be so surprised.”
It’s just a sci-fi monster in dinosaur skin, no big deal.
Although a certain “fiery young lady” like the Indominus Rex probably wasn't as outrageous as this Panic Tyrannosaurus Rex, given the significant visual difference in tonnage.
“What is that thing? Isn’t the Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Cretaceous period?” Jiang Si asked, puzzled.
Zheng Fan was shocked.
Even Jiang Si knew that the Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn’t from the Jurassic period!
At this moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly erupted, its massive body like a speeding Da Yun (Good Fortune) heavy truck, roaring as it approached.
“My turn?” Zheng Fan asked.
Jiang Si, however, directly squatted down, her free hand slamming the ground: “No need!”
Just as Zheng Fan wondered what she was doing, her Red Lines pierced into the ground, then extended to her front, finally forming a cocoon that rose and broke out of the earth.
This sense of déjà vu…
The red cocoon dispersed, and the bodyguards from the mansion, as well as the headless boss’s corpse whose head had been taken for money, all stood upright like Soldiers, forming a formation in front.
Facing the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s charge, they all lunged forward.
Could a few tiny humans piled together really withstand this abnormally strengthened Panic Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s forward momentum halted, the road surface was crushed, and it barely managed to advance a few more steps, but it was ultimately restrained!
It actually worked? What kind of maneuver is this?
Zheng Fan looked at Jiang Si beside him in surprise.
“Impure World Reincarnation?”
“What is that? They’re just puppets,” Jiang Si replied, sweating coldly. “My Red Lines aren’t as strong as Evil Mr.’s, but by gathering lines into a surface and surfaces into a body, after binding and accumulating, they can make do. But my manipulation speed in combat isn’t that fast, so I preemptively used these people’s corpses as axes, filling them with lines, which makes it easier to exert their effect.”
Her ability had undergone some corresponding changes with the Killing demon’s will.
A talent different from Lin Yilin’s.
The talent of a Killing demon, and also Jiang Si’s own special quality.
Zheng Fan realized this.
But continuously struggling with this monster was not the best strategy; the Tyrannosaurus Rex was still pushing forward, and some puppets had already had their lines broken. As Jiang Si said, the Red Lines, twitching like living organisms, were exposed underneath.
Jiang Si used her other hand to manipulate Red Lines, tying the Dragon Bird into a zongzi, then dropping it to the ground.
Dragon Bird: …
Freeing her other hand, she clenched both fists, then opened them, concentrating…
Swish!
The headless corpse puppet was the first to lose strength, but the Red Lines on its body quickly condensed and pierced out, stabbing into the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s massive jaw.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex bit down hard, its teeth, sharper than blades, shredded this sudden attack, but some remaining Red Lines inevitably entered its mouth and body, then wreaked havoc.
However, this internal injury was nothing to this Panic Tyrannosaurus Rex!
The injury ignited its ferocity, but more puppets appeared and surrounded it, the extending Red Lines simultaneously restricting the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s entire body and attempting to cut its body.
Scales were broken, flesh was cut into, and more and more blood flowed from the giant beast’s body.
It moved its feet, trying to twist its body and struggle, but the moment it lifted a foot, two puppets quickly charged selflessly—one obstructing the lifted leg from stepping down, the other striking the pivot leg that remained on the ground.
The giant crashed down, and at this moment, only a final struggle remained, with no chance of resistance.
Bit by bit, it was cut and pulverized, and the dinosaur turned into scattered fragments and blood all over the ground.
The Red Line Killer can kill more than just people.
