Hearing Mo Shuwan's furious roar, the muscular man's temple twitched. He clutched his bleeding arm and followed closely behind Mo Shuwan.

The muscular man was unwilling to speak, yet he relentlessly pursued Mo Shuwan. Given the current situation, it seemed that Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo would soon have to make the decision to abandon the muscular man. However, despite his tense expression and refusal to speak, the muscular man was actually quickly devising a plan.

Wen Zuo had already attacked him, and he was certain that if things continued like this, either Wen Zuo or Mo Shuwan would attack him to save their lives, and he only had a knife in his hand, which was not enough to deal with it.

Knowing full well the danger he was in, the muscular man, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, finally shouted, "I took one of its eggs, which triggered a side quest. If you help me deal with this mutated dinosaur, I'll take you to find its egg."

Wen Zuo, who was about to attack the muscular man, loosened his finger from the trigger. As expected, the muscular man pulled out an egg from his pocket to prove that what he said was true. The egg was only the size of an adult man's fist.

Judging from the mutated dinosaur's reaction, this egg, which doesn't look like its egg at all, really is its egg.

Mo Shuwan switched to a fire-attribute longsword, glanced coldly at the muscular man rapidly approaching her, and said, "Give me the egg."

The muscular man hesitated for half a second before throwing the egg to Mo Shuwan. Thus, the mutated dinosaur's target became Mo Shuwan. Originally, taking this opportunity to escape would have been the wisest choice, but the muscular man didn't leave. He had gone through several life-threatening crises to get here, and it would be too much of a loss to leave without getting anything.

Upon receiving the egg, Mo Shuwan immediately received a side quest: to hatch a mutated dinosaur egg.

Mo Shuwan's gaze lingered on the word "mutation" for a long time. She frowned as she looked at the egg in her hand. The roar of the mutated dinosaur in her ears made her eardrums throb. In her frantic run, she managed to send a message to Wen Zuo.

The moment she confirmed the message had been sent, Mo Shuwan abruptly bent down, then quickly stood up again, saying, "Here you go!"

At the same time, Wen Zuo also fired another shot at the mutated dinosaur in coordination with Mo Shuwan's actions. By the time the dinosaur dodged the bullet, the thing that Mo Shuwan had thrown had already landed on the ground.

Mo Shuwan's eyes darkened as she watched the mutated dinosaur still charging towards her.

They didn't hesitate to waste a Starburst Bullet to distract the mutated dinosaur, preventing it from realizing that what they threw wasn't an egg. But to their surprise, the mutated dinosaur didn't react at all. Either it had already realized that it was just a rock, or it was determined to kill the three of them.

After pondering for a moment, Mo Shuwan took out the real dinosaur egg and threw it at the mutated dinosaur without saying a word. This time, the mutated dinosaur gave a slight reaction, but only a slight one. Its reaction surprised not only Mo Shuwan, but also Wen Zuo and the muscular man.

After all, when the muscular man threw the egg to Mo Shuwan, the mutated dinosaur had chased after her.

Seeing that the other side had destroyed a large number of trees and its range of activity was getting larger and larger, half an hour had passed since then. No matter where they ran, they could not shake off the mutated dinosaur. There was no way to escape, so they could only fight.

Mo Shuwan narrowed her eyes when she saw the muscular man picking up the eggs again in the chaos, and rushed towards him. The muscular man ran away as soon as he saw Mo Shuwan approaching.

Seeing this, Mo Shuwan was too lazy to beat around the bush with him. "We can't escape now. The only way is to deal with it. You go and be the bait."

The muscular man sneered, "Why should I?"

"You brought this trouble upon yourself. Since you can't resolve it, you must accept our arrangements." Mo Shuwan was also seething with anger. In the past half hour, she had come to understand why the side quest hadn't responded when she killed the mutated unicorn dinosaur. It was because the mutated unicorn dinosaur, which was already on the verge of death, had already died before she went to kill it.

The cause of death was that strong wind. So many bullets were wasted, but no results were achieved. How could one not be angry?

The muscular man was silent for a moment, then noticed Wen Zuo watching him from a distance. He realized he had no choice, and snorted coldly, "I'll cooperate, so don't try anything funny."

No one noticed that the seemingly angry mutated dinosaur, after hearing the two's loud conversation, rolled its eyes and suddenly leaped into the air again, its huge wings flashing violently. The petite Mo Shuwan was the first to be affected.

The mutated dinosaur flew into the air, let out an angry roar at Mo Shuwan, and then... flew away.

Mo Shuwan, who had been blown into the air by the strong wind and then landed, silently got up, glanced at the mutated dinosaur that had been reduced to a small black dot, and frowned.

Wen Zuo did not rush forward to check on Mo Shuwan's condition immediately. The moment he confirmed that the danger had passed, he pointed his gun at the muscular man.

The muscular man suppressed his thoughts, clutching his wound as he stood still.

Wen Zuo then slowly approached.

"Why did you suddenly leave?" Mo Shuwan muttered in surprise as she brushed the debris off her clothes.

The muscular man sensibly handed the fist-sized egg to Mo Shuwan, who then passed it to Wen Zuo. As expected, Wen Zuo triggered a side quest upon receiving it.

Where did you get this egg?

"In the grass."

"Why did that mutated dinosaur chase you just now?" Mo Shuwan thought for a moment before asking the question, mainly because the other party seemed to care about the egg at all afterward.

The muscular man frowned, then suddenly sat down cross-legged and began cutting open his wound with a knife to remove the bullet, without saying a word the entire time.

Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo frowned as they watched. After he finished fiddling with his arm, they still gave him a small packet of medicine. The muscular man didn't take it and said coldly, "It flew over as soon as I took the egg and has been chasing me ever since."

Mo Shuwan nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but she still felt that something was not quite right. The mutated dinosaur had shown great strength just now, so how did the muscular man manage to escape unscathed from its pursuit?

Just as Mo Shuwan was lost in thought, Wen Zuo sent her a message.

Wen Zuo: It appeared just now but didn't trigger the side quest.

"Not a mutated dinosaur?" Mo Shuwan was stunned. She immediately opened her phone, looked at a row of side quests, and her gaze fell on the last one.

Side Quest: Hatching Mutant Dinosaur Eggs

"So you're saying this egg isn't its own, and it chased after it just because...it was fun?" Otherwise, Mo Shuwan couldn't understand why the other party suddenly flew away.

After this guess was made, the three of them fell silent for a moment. Finally, Mo Shuwan put the mutated dinosaur egg into her storage space and said, "Let's go back."
