Chapter 28 Ultimate Summit Climb
Seeing that their first attack had failed, the creature from the darkness emerged from the cave; it was a monster more than two meters tall.
It can definitely be called a monster.
Rong Yi deactivated the shield and got a clear look at the monster.
Its slightly triangular head had eyes that darted back and forth, observing the four people on the field. Its long jaw provided ample space for sharp teeth, and saliva sprayed out with a low growl.
The powerful lower limbs are clearly visible, and compared to the lower limbs, the two front paws are small, but they are still deadly weapons that cannot be ignored by humans.
It also has a tail that is longer than its body, and its scales are dark green, giving it a perfect protective look.
Rong Yi looked at the portrait and immediately recognized it as a Tyrannosaurus Rex; it did indeed resemble a dinosaur to some extent.
Without saying a word, Leng Rui raised his gun and fired a burst of bullets. He remembered Rong Yi's words: aim for the eyes.
Surprisingly, the Tyrannosaurus Rex closed its eyes. The bullet hit its eyelids and bounced off, while sparks flew from other parts of its body. The bullet couldn't even penetrate its scales.
After firing a burst of bullets, the Tyrannosaurus Rex opened its eyes, its beastly pupils, the same color as its scales, fixed on Leng Rui, who had attacked it first, and roared angrily with its blood-red maw wide open.
The corridor on the 30th floor is six meters wide, enough for the Tyrannosaurus Rex to move its massive body freely.
Guan Lang and Leng Rui retreated while firing. The Tyrannosaurus Rex passed right by Rong Yi, but its tail, which swung left and right as it ran, was like a sharp lightning bolt, forcing Rong Yi to quickly duck and dodge.
Zhang Shiting's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Damn, this scales are definitely worth dozens of points."
Rong Yi: ...She thinks so too.
The two worked in perfect unison to catch up with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, their roars and gunshots mingling along the way.
At this moment, there was a strange movement on one side of the wall. Rong Yi thought that another monster had been released, and he almost threw the dagger in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, the walls were moving one after another, revealing well-equipped individuals standing behind them.
Rong Yi realized that these were the prisoners on the 30th floor. They were indeed behind the wall and only appeared when the monster was released.
Neither she nor Zhang Shiting stopped running. Rong Yi not only had to run fast, but also had to watch out for the saliva left behind by the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the ground. This thing not only looked disgusting, but it was also easy to slip when you stepped on it.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex rampaged through the corridor, and people gradually emerged from the areas it passed through.
Rong Yi swept past like a gust of wind, leaving Zhang Shiting behind. Everything in front of her was clearly reflected in her pupils, and she precisely avoided every drop of saliva.
A feeling of exhilaration welled up inside me, like warm water filling my heart.
The long tail in front swayed back and forth with the Tyrannosaurus Rex's steps. Rong Yi seized the opportunity and grabbed the tip of the tail with his left hand.
Even through the gloves, the roughness of the scales could be clearly felt. Noticing the situation at the tail end, the Tyrannosaurus Rex stopped and freely controlled its long tail to slowly extend in front of its eyes.
Rong Yi hung on the tip of the tail, getting a close look at the Tyrannosaurus Rex's huge mouth. The breath it exhaled from its nostrils had a strange smell, even stronger than garlic.
With its two rows of sharp teeth separated, the Tyrannosaurus Rex turned its head to bite the clueless prey in half.
With a powerful pull from her left arm, Rong Yi used her left leg to hook onto the long tail, creating a point of leverage. She then flung the Canglan Dagger, its sharp blade slicing through the air before the tip pierced the Tyrannosaurus Rex's jaw.
“Ouch—”
The Tyrannosaurus roared and shut its mouth. With a thought, Rong Yi cleanly returned the Azure Wave Dagger to his hand.
The long tail swayed violently due to the shaking of its body. Rong Yi held it tightly while swinging her dagger with all her might to stab at the tail. Fortunately, the first-tier intermediate weapon did not disappoint her. After a slight scrawl, the sharp blade tip successfully broke through the scales and penetrated into the flesh.
In its agony, the Tyrannosaurus Rex immediately tried to shake off the person on its tail. Rong Yi slammed heavily against the wall during the swing, and it was only then that she realized how hard these seemingly fragile tiles were.
Zhang Shiting was shocked to see this from behind. Even with her enhanced body, she couldn't withstand such a heavy blow. She probably had to find the right opportunity to save Rong Yi's life, since he had pushed her away when the Tyrannosaurus Rex appeared.
"Guan Lang! Leng Rui! Keep fighting!"
She had two teammates fire to draw aggro while she looked for an opportunity.
However, the scene of Rong Yi falling like a butterfly with broken wings, as imagined, did not occur. Instead, he remained stuck to the Tyrannosaurus Rex's long tail.
The prisoners who came out one after another were also shocked by the scene.
"This newcomer is so amazing?"
"Can someone who can get to the 30th floor be an ordinary person?"
"Do you want to take action?"
"Go ahead and fight, the Tyrannosaurus Rex has plenty of strength to wear us down."
Immediately, someone raised a gun and fired. Zhang Shiting turned around sharply and shouted, "Don't hit anyone!"
But no one paid her any attention. Human lives were the least important thing in the Jingtian Tower; they valued the resources after killing the Tyrannosaurus Rex more.
Zhang Shiting could see that these people were firing indiscriminately, and no one was listening to her.
·
Rong Yi's heart raced, and her body temperature rose. At that moment, she was unaware of the changes in her body, focusing all her attention on protecting her head from being hit by bullets.
Those who followed were all focused on killing the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and had no interest in her clinging to it.
The whistling of bullets was right next to her ears. She was very sensitive to the trajectory of the bullets aimed at her and dodged three bullets in less than two minutes.
As for the bullets that hit her body, her outer garment was bulletproof, so she endured the pain and waited for her chance.
Although the Tyrannosaurus Rex's scales are tough, even iron would not withstand continuous bullet fire, let alone a creature with flesh and blood.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex raised its head and roared angrily, raising its long tail high as if to slam Rong Yi, who was above it, to the ground.
This was the moment Rong Yi had been waiting for. Taking advantage of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail lifting up, she loosened her tightly clasped arms and legs, adjusted her posture, and leaped up.
At that moment, she attracted everyone's attention, and even the prisoners' hands, which were about to pull the trigger, froze.
A flame seemed to ignite in Rong Yi's eyes. His body was like a fully drawn bowstring in mid-air, his waist and abdominal muscles tense. With the force of falling, his bulging biceps were full of power. His left hand was free, ready to block in front of him at any time, while his right hand gripped the dagger tightly.
With a thud, the tail slammed into the ground, causing a tremor. If Rong Yi had been still on the tail, he would have likely suffered severe limb damage, if not death.
Rong Yi aimed for the Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes. Due to the attacks from all directions, the Tyrannosaurus Rex chose to close its eyes, and its eyelids could also block the bullets.
With a "plop," the Tyrannosaurus's eyelids were easily pierced by the Canglan dagger, which was as thin as paper. The momentum caused Rong Yi's hand holding the dagger to also pierce through.
The pain takes time to travel. The eyes are the Tyrannosaurus Rex's weak point. When hit there, it first stiffens, followed by a deafening roar that makes people cover their ears.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex shook its head as if it were going mad. Given that the scales were slippery and there was no point of gripping, and with the dagger in sight, Rong Yi was unsurprisingly thrown off. After landing, he continued to slide on the tiles, tripping over two people who couldn't dodge in time.
"Shoot it in the eye!"
Someone shouted this, and then the sound of bullets rattling like a storm swept through the entire space, the noise deafening.
Rong Yi's mind and eyes were filled with this Tyrannosaurus Rex. After getting up, she found a good position and, amidst a hail of bullets, her eyes were like those of a hawk. The Canglan Dagger in her hand transformed into a blue light.
The sharp blade pierced through the injured eye socket and plunged into the fragile brain.
The group saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly stop moving and then collapse. This was the first time they had ever seen such a thing. In the past, they always had to use bullets to grind the Tyrannosaurus Rex's scales for a long time before they could take it down.
