Chapter 16 – Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

"What the hell is that monster!"

"Run!!!"

Huang Tang shouted, grabbing Cai Lin by the buttocks and hoisting her onto the shore.

He then turned around, picked up the petrified Jiang Golan, and swam desperately towards the shore.

A massive splash sounded behind them as the monster closed in!

Huang Tang tossed Jiang Golan onto the shore and scrambled up himself.

The three of them turned to see the monster had reached the shore.

Only then did they see it clearly.

A long neck, massive body, and four sturdy legs.

This wasn't a python.

This was...

"A Plesiosaurus..." Huang Tang murmured.

A creature that once only existed in fossils!

The Plesiosaurus crawled onto the shore, opening its jaws wide to attack them.

The three of them turned and ran.

But after just a few steps, an even louder splash echoed behind them.

"Boom——!"

They turned back to see an even more shocking scene.

A larger monster burst from the lake, biting the Plesiosaurus's neck, its massive jaws snapping shut.

The Plesiosaurus didn't even have time to scream before its neck was severed.

Blood sprayed, dyeing the lake red.

The monster dragged the Plesiosaurus's corpse back into the water, leaving only a massive silhouette and a thick tail.

Mosasaurus!

The ruler of the waters, the Mosasaurus!

The three stood there, completely stunned.

They even forgot they were naked, soaking wet...

That scene was a thousand times more shocking than any movie special effect!

"Where... where are we?" Cai Lin's voice trembled.

Huang Tang swallowed hard, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the Jurassic."

"Or the Cretaceous."

"In any case, it's the age of dinosaurs!"

The three fell silent.

They had almost become a snack for the Plesiosaurus, which in turn became a snack for the Mosasaurus.

If they had been even a second later...

"We're really lucky to be alive," Huang Tang said with a bitter smile.

"Huang Tang gege..."

A timid voice spoke up.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

Huang Tang looked down to find he was still holding Jiang Golan.

Blushing, Jiang Golan whispered, "You... you can let go of me now..."

Huang Tang quickly released her, coughing awkwardly.

Cai Lin finally realized she was completely naked.

Her hands didn't know whether to cover the top or the bottom, and in her fluster, she inadvertently gave Huang Tang quite a view.

"Turn around!" she shouted at Huang Tang.

Innocently, Huang Tang turned his back and pulled out three sets of clean clothes from the System Space.

They dared not go near the lake again!

"Put these on."

The two women hurriedly dressed, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Huang Tang also put on a T-shirt and pants, then looked towards the lake.

The surface had returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

But the bloodstain remained, a reminder that everything they had just experienced was real!

"What do we do next?" Cai Lin asked.

Huang Tang took a deep breath, "Keep looking for supplies, find the Treasure Chest."

"But be very careful, run if you see a dinosaur, and absolutely don't provoke them!"

Just as he finished speaking, urgent screams came from behind.

The three turned to see several figures sprinting towards them.

Three men and a woman, injured and terrified.

Behind them were several fast-moving dinosaurs.

Not very large, not much taller than a person, but incredibly agile.

Velociraptors!

The players saw Huang Tang and the others, their eyes lighting up, and they ran straight towards them.

"They're doing it on purpose!" Cai Lin screamed, "They want to lead the dinosaurs to us!"

Huang Tang's expression changed, and he grabbed the two and ran.

"Bro, help us!" one of the men shouted.

Soon, the Velociraptors caught up with the last woman who had fallen behind.

"Ah——!"

A scream rang out.

The woman was pounced on, instantly overwhelmed by the biting.

One after another.

The remaining three male players were all caught by the Velociraptors, not one escaped!

The Velociraptors then set their sights on Huang Tang and the others.

Cai Lin was gasping for breath, and Jiang Golan was pale.

"Huang Tang..." Cai Lin panted, "You run... don't worry about us..."

"Yes..." Jiang Golan's legs were weak, unable to muster any strength, "Huang Tang gege, you go... your survival is more important than ours..."

Huang Tang said nothing, suddenly stopping and turning around.

Two Velociraptors were already upon them, jaws wide, sharp teeth glinting.

Huang Tang took a deep breath, pulled out the card he drew today, stomped his foot, and shouted:

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Card [Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!], activate!

The two Velociraptors seemed to be hit by an invisible force, their bodies suddenly stiffening.

Then, they really began to retreat.

Step by step, they backed up three steps!

Huang Tang's eyes lit up.

It was a control skill!

"Then I'm sorry."

He pulled out a pistol and aimed at one Velociraptor's head.

"Bang!"

A headshot.

The other had just recovered from its stiffness when Huang Tang's second shot hit.

"Bang!"

Both Velociraptors fell in a pool of blood.

Cai Lin and Jiang Golan collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

"You... you killed the dinosaurs?" Cai Lin couldn't believe it.

Huang Tang holstered his gun, exhaling deeply.

He walked over to the Velociraptor corpses, and the system prompt sounded:

[Discovered collectible resource: Velociraptor meat x several]

[Note: Eating dinosaur meat can slightly enhance physique.]

Huang Tang's eyes brightened.

Dinosaur meat could enhance physique?

In the [Building Survival Game], this must be considered a top-tier resource, right?

He immediately stored both Velociraptor corpses in the System Space.

The three sat slumped under a giant tree for a while.

Jiang Golan's face was still pale, "Huang Tang gege... should we... keep exploring?"

Huang Tang glanced at her, then at Cai Lin.

Both women had fear in their eyes.

"We must!"

He stood up, dusting off his clothes, "What we lack most now are materials to upgrade the house. If we don't keep exploring, the flood will rise, and we'll die anyway."

Cai Lin nodded, standing up as well, "You're right. We haven't gathered enough materials, we can't stop!"

Jiang Golan bit her lip and stood up with them.

Huang Tang smiled and patted her head, "Don't worry. I have the [Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!] god-level card, even if we encounter dinosaurs, we'll be fine."

"I was scared myself just now and forgot to use it. Now I know, so don't worry."

Jiang Golan nodded, her complexion finally improving a bit.

The three continued to explore deeper into the forest.

The further they went, the denser the trees became.

The number of dinosaurs also increased.

"Look."

Cai Lin suddenly pointed to the base of a giant tree.

There were several metal cans and a coil of rope scattered there.

Huang Tang quickly walked over, and the system prompt sounded:

[Discovered: Canned food ×3, Rope ×5]

"Supplies!"

His eyes lit up, and he stored everything in the System Space.

Continuing forward, they found several pieces of steel and a bag of cement next to a pile of dinosaur dung.

"This place... the supply refresh rate is so high," Cai Lin marveled.

Huang Tang nodded, "It seems the deeper we go, the more supplies there are. But the danger also increases."

Just as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps sounded nearby.

The three immediately hid behind a giant tree, peeking out cautiously.

A group of massive dinosaurs was passing by.

Brachiosaurus!

Their necks stretched to the treetops, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

There were at least a dozen of them, majestically heading towards the lake.

The three felt like they were just slightly larger ants.
