Even though what appeared before everyone was just a Tyrannosaurus Rex baby, the baby Tyrannosaurus Rex still made everyone take it seriously. It looked very small and was not yet old enough to be separated from its parents. In other words, its appearance often meant that its parents were very likely nearby, protecting it.
Imagine and actually see are two completely different things. The moment Li Qing saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex baby, his body trembled slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Calm down, whatever you do, don't kill it."
For a level two warrior, the Tyrannosaurus Rex is a natural enemy. Judging from Li and Chu's expressions, they are under great pressure. But as if remembering their companions behind them, Li gritted his teeth, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes: "It's okay, Mai Zi. I grew up in the Red Flower Tribe. So what if I die!"
Judging from his tone, it sounded like he was about to say something like "take action" at any moment, and Li Qing immediately became anxious: "What do you want to do?"
“Kill it, it’s blocking our way.”
"But that will attract its parents!" Li Qing exclaimed urgently, "Then we'll all die!"
Chu snorted coldly: "Then what do you want? You want us to go around it? I can't do that! I am a warrior of the Red Flower Tribe. As long as I am alive, I will not retreat! Besides, how can you guarantee that it won't chase us?"
Hearing similar words again, Li Qing's anxiety turned into anger. He was genuinely angry, thinking to himself, how could these people be so stubborn and inflexible? "Enough! If you don't think about yourself, at least think about them!"
Li Qing said in a serious tone, enunciating each word clearly: "We went to Moonstone to bring our brothers home. Do you want to cause even greater sacrifices? Have you thought about what would happen to everyone in the tribe waiting for us if any of us were eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex? So many people have already died in the tribe; we can't afford to lose any more!"
Chu: "Stop talking, Mai Zi."
Li: "Take the brothers away, don't worry about me and Chu. Leave this place to the two of us. You're right, there must be parents behind the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub. But after we kill it, we'll do our best to buy you time to leave. You just need to take them back to the tribe. As for the two of us, we'll just die if we have to."
Li Qing: "Stop talking! Do you mean that dying in battle is loyalty? What a joke! Then everyone should just die. After we're all dead, let God protect the Red Flower Tribe!"
During the conversation, the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub approached these creatures, which were enormous to them, step by step. It seemed to be testing the limits of Li Qing and the others, and would make its move once it felt the time was right.
"...Don't say those kinds of things anymore!"
Li Qing stared intently at the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub.
They could easily kill a Tyrannosaurus Rex cub, but the adult Tyrannosaurus Rex behind it was what made them cautious. If they did, the cub would surely scream in agony before it died, which would attract the attention of its parents, and things would get bad then.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex cub approached step by step. The feeling of being unable to fight back against its seemingly weak and easily manageable nature was extremely painful for Li Qing and his group, especially for Li and his companion. After hearing Li Qing's words, they finally stopped preparing to attack, but their expressions still revealed the pain of being helpless against it.
The choice between attacking and running away is just a matter of a moment. The Tyrannosaurus Rex cub will strike once it reaches what it deems a safe distance. Chu, being the closest, bears far more pressure than the others. Watching it approach step by step, Chu's neck involuntarily stiffened as it turned back: "We..."
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly darted to Chu's feet.
It's Big Black.
Big Black's size was exactly the same as that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex baby, and upon closer inspection, it was even a bit larger. When Li Qing saw Big Black facing off against the Tyrannosaurus Rex baby, he couldn't help but gasp. He could only silently tell Big Black in his heart, "Don't make a sound, please don't make a sound!"
Because once it makes a sound, the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub will also roar, and the two will become entangled. Regardless of the outcome, it will inevitably attract the attention of its parents.
Li Qing didn't dare to say a word and just quietly watched Da Hei. The other soldiers also realized that they couldn't get involved in the current situation, so they all watched the scene cautiously, just like Li Qing.
Fortunately, Big Black didn't bark or make any other noises. It just stared intently into the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub's eyes, its two forelimbs striding forward, its mouth slightly open, revealing its already fully grown fangs.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex cub never expected that a dog would be so brave as to confront it head-on. It opened its mouthful of fangs and shook its already quite thick tail, showing off to the big black dog, as if to flaunt its jaws, which were naturally much stronger than those of a dog.
Big Black remained unmoved. It took a step forward, getting even closer to the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub. Its expression became increasingly ferocious. This was the first time Li Qing had ever seen a dog's expression so fierce. It was a scene he rarely saw, even in "Animal World." Big Black's eyes narrowed slightly. It stomped its two front paws hard on the ground, took a small step back with its hind paws, and tensed its muscles, as if it were ready to attack at any moment.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex cub seemed to be intimidated by this "warning." It didn't become more ferocious, but it also didn't back down. The dog and the Tyrannosaurus Rex stared at each other, neither willing to let their guard down.
This is a protracted war.
Whoever breaks down first loses.
Li Qing and even Li Ren, no one spoke. They all knew that in the current situation, Dahei was fine, but if they made any move, the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub, which was in a state of high tension, would likely roar and launch an attack. At that time, all of Dahei's efforts would be in vain!
Li Qing was also gambling, betting that Big Black would win, that the cub would admit defeat, and that after it admitted defeat, it would turn around and walk away, rather than fully unleashing its ferocity, roaring, and then attacking.
Time passed second by second, and Li Qing's back was already soaked with sweat.
On the "battlefield," Big Black and the cub remained in the same position as before, neither of them changing.
They are waiting for the other to reveal a weakness.
The first to move was Big Black.
Its hind legs began to tremble slightly.
It was not just exhaustion, but also fear stemming from instinct.
For a dog to survive this long against a Tyrannosaurus Rex, even a cub, is an extraordinary feat.
"..."
Li Qing noticed this scene, but he did not give up hope. Instead, like everyone else, he silently watched Dahei and gave it strength.
Big Black seemed to sense Li Qing's "encouragement," or perhaps it knew that the current situation did not allow it to retreat, and its hind legs returned to their initial tense state.
Now, the Tyrannosaurus Rex cub opposite it seemed to be the first to give way.
