Chapter 577 - 223: LV999!

Although it might require traveling to many places, finding targets for Devouring wouldn’t be a problem at all. Besides, Shen Fei and No. 0’s current sizes were already comparable to those of adult Tyrannosauruses and Triceratopses. At this size, they could run at speeds of several hundred kilometers per hour. Shen Fei believed that as his level continued to increase, this speed would increase substantially.

Taking all the various circumstances into account, Shen Fei’s final conclusion was that he was about to complete [Mission Two]. He also believed that once he completed it, he—this so-called "Version 2.0" who had traveled through time and space to the Dinosaur Era—would finally learn the things he wanted to know.

SPLASH.

As Shen Fei was lost in thought, he and No. 0 were led by the Black Tortoise and finally set foot on the other side of the great river. Looking up, Shen Fei saw the vast, savanna-like landscape on the opposite bank and, without another word, quickly clambered ashore.

SPLASH.

Just as Shen Fei, No. 0, and the Black Tortoise climbed onto the riverbank, Xiaohong descended from high in the sky. She had been invisible to them but could see them clearly.

"Alright!" After glancing at Xiaohong and No. 0, Shen Fei first directed the Black Tortoise back into the great river. "You follow the river downstream. From now on, go all out and push for LV 1,000!"

ROAR!

Following Shen Fei’s command, the Black Tortoise let out a long roar to the sky and instantly leaped back into the water.

Unlike Shen Fei and the other two, who had directly transformed into dinosaur forms after eating things from the Version 2.0 Dinosaur Era, the Black Tortoise had not transformed. It had only reverted to its most basic form. Now, as its level rose to LV 700+, the Black Tortoise’s own appearance had been restored. In its Newborn Stage, the Black Tortoise looked much like a small turtle. But now that it had grown, its appearance had returned to the domineering form it was meant to have. Although the turtle-like creatures of the Dinosaur Era also had formidable appearances, they were still a far cry from the Black Tortoise.

SWOOSH!

As Shen Fei watched, ripples appeared beneath the Black Tortoise after it jumped into the great river. Then, the river’s current surged, propelling it forward until it vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye. Stunned by the Black Tortoise’s strange ability, Shen Fei tore his gaze away and let out a long roar to the sky. A visible sound wave spread out from his roar.

[Tyrannosaur Roar: Can be used to declare an adult Tyrannosaurus’s territorial sovereignty and intimidate herbivorous dinosaurs!]

Shen Fei’s roar used a temporary skill he had activated after his level increased to LV 500. After three days of Devouring, he had gained a skill called [Tyrannosaur Roar] in addition to [Devouring]. Just like him, Xiaohong, No. 0, and the Black Tortoise had also activated a new skill upon reaching LV 500. The Black Tortoise’s ability to control the river’s currents was the one it had just activated. Similarly, Xiaohong’s ability to control her Winged Dragon underlings was also newly activated at LV 500. Of course, No. 0 also gained a new ability at that level. It was because everyone had activated new abilities at LV 500 that Shen Fei was so certain his [Mission Two] would soon be completed.

ROAR!!

A dozen or so seconds after Shen Fei’s Tyrannosaur Roar, an enraged roar of the same tone suddenly echoed in their ears.

Holy crap! There’s actually a Tyrannosaurus here!

He had only intended to flush out some prey, using the Tyrannosaur Roar to startle nearby large herbivorous dinosaurs and make them easier to Devour. Shen Fei never expected to summon one of his own kind.

ROAR!!

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Fei answered back with an unyielding roar of his own.

Then, they heard the thundering sound of heavy footfalls from a creature running at high speed. Soon, they saw a colossal creature burst out from the vegetation ahead, moving like a tank and making the ground tremble and rumble.

Level 713!

Looking at the health bar and level data displayed above the head of the charging Tyrannosaurus, Shen Fei was certain that this was an adult. Moreover, its level was clearly much higher than his. He couldn’t Devour this one; on the contrary, if it Devoured him, it would be game over immediately.

However, even though he could be Devoured by the colossal dinosaur, Shen Fei had no intention of moving in the face of its charge. He watched the charging Tyrannosaurus impassively.

SWOOSH!

Suddenly, something flashed before his eyes. Xiaohong, who had been standing next to Shen Fei with her wings folded, shot forward in a sprint and glided in front of the ferocious Tyrannosaurus. And just like that, it was over. The furious dinosaur was charged by the LV 800+ Xiaohong and was instantly Devoured without a trace.

A failure! Another dinosaur wasted!

Xiaohong’s move made Shen Fei purse his lips in frustration. Previously, whenever they encountered high-level dinosaurs they couldn’t Devour, Xiaohong would help them by taking care of it instantly. But the problem with this was that this "material"—which he could have used for an immediate level-up once he reached its level—was now wasted.

"Brother Fei!" Xiaohong called out. "My Winged Dragon underlings have already found quite a few targets! They’re all LV 500+, just right for you and Sister No. 0 to Devour!"
