56: Soloing Dinosaur World (Part 2)

4,800 points of Strength.

2,800 points of Agility.

After unleashing "Furious Tail Whip," the damage it could burst out was 2 × (4,800 + 2,800) points.

15,200 points of damage!

What was even more terrifying was that the kinetic energy unleashed after the high-speed tail swing could cut a person in half at the waist.

Unless the opponent's body was extremely tough.

A Contractor absolutely could not possess such potential.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex opened its bloody maw, already prepared to swallow half of the opponent's body into its stomach.

Bang!

The tail whipped against Xu Le's body.

Intense pain shot up from its tail, as if it had whipped against steel; it even felt as though its tail had been mangled.

It looked at the person who had been hit.

The body had been knocked more than five meters away by the kinetic energy.

A bright red number appeared above his head.

-2.

Defense broken!

But not by much.

It suppressed the urge to vomit blood, and when it looked at its own health bar, it realized that from that single blow, it had suffered 568 points of damage from the force rebound.

That was its sharp, attacking tail!

It couldn't win!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly felt the urge to flee, but in the next second, it crushed that thought.

It was an ancient overlord.

If anyone was going to flee, it should be others!

Xu Le glanced at the notification on his wristband.

[Data detection in progress...]

"It just tested my physical strength, now let's test my four-dimensional data!"

Xu Le thought, disregarding his cool image, and pulled out the demon slaying blade to charge forward.

Soaring Nine Steps Shattering Jade Force was a fist technique.

But it wasn't impossible to use it as a blade technique.

Being short had its advantages.

The target was smaller and relatively more agile.

He slashed with all his might at the Tyrannosaurus Rex's leg, and while it was casting "Violent Trample," he threw a "Mental Shock" at it.

Taking advantage of the stun, he wielded his blade like lightning, hacking with all his might at its right hind leg.

"Roar!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex roared in pain, retreating as it tried to cast the "Violent Bite" Skill.

But Xu Le was like a plaster, sticking to its two thick hind legs and hacking away, completely out of the range of its mouth.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex used "Angry Roar" to jump away, leaping into the pack of dogs, and immediately cast the "Devour" Skill, biting one dog into its mouth, chewing it thoroughly, and swallowing it.

Xu Le had seen this Skill before; it was incredibly cheap. No matter how much health the target had, as long as it was bitten, it would be killed instantly, and 10% of its total health would be converted into the Tyrannosaurus Rex's lost health.

Little Dog was so angry its eyes were splitting; seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex fully focused on attacking Xu Le, it snuck in a bite.

It didn't dare to get entangled in a fight, though, and ran away as soon as it got a hit in.

Little Black Snake was very brave, but due to the size difference, and because it was a tank type, its attacks were somewhat low.

The blade in Xu Le's hand danced into a blur of white light, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex became increasingly fierce; although it couldn't win, it didn't retreat a single step.

Its Blood Bravery Skill was continuously enhancing its strength.

Xu Le didn't know how many times he had slashed, and every blow that landed on the Tyrannosaurus Rex dealt significant damage, but the opponent's defense kept increasing.

Under the Blood Bravery Skill.

The lower its health, the fiercer it became, and the faster it regained health.

When its health bar dropped to half, its own attributes increased by 1/2, making it even harder to kill.

Originally, his plan was to cut off the Tyrannosaurus Rex's two hind legs, as severed limbs were incurable wounds.

But his attack power was insufficient; although he had hacked the legs until they were mangled, he couldn't damage the bone.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex roared wildly.

Now, the dinosaurs on the field had been slaughtered, and Xu Le had gained a massive amount of experience points, leveling up to level 49.

When soloing a dungeon, the experience was exclusive; it was more than when clearing it with a group, but there wasn't a difference of several times the amount.

To guard against the "Devour" Skill, he directly had Little Dog disperse its Clones, leaving only himself to lead the attack, the three little ones to support, and Little Peach Tree to continue doing its own thing.

"Should I give up on this tough nut to crack? Anyway, there's no loot drop?"

Xu Le thought, then immediately dismissed the idea.

It was hard to find a suitable punching bag, so it would be a pity to let it go just like that.

He continued hacking.

Time slowly passed; Xu Le had previously thought about giving up, but later he was thinking about where the dinosaur's weak point was.

He had tried attacking from the rear, and he had also tried attacking from the mouth, but the results were not ideal.

Although he could burst out double damage, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was too tall, so it took more time, and it was better to just hack away at it hard.

An hour later.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex made a mistake in its movement; Little Dog seized the opportunity and successfully cast the "Silence Throttle" Skill.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's form froze, and Little Black Snake seized the moment, successfully climbing onto the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head and wrapping around it in a comfortable position.

Violent attacks!

Even Little Peach Tree waved its branches, whipping the Tyrannosaurus Rex a few times, until it finally killed it.

[Experience + 9,280,000]

[Ding, congratulations to the player for successfully clearing the abyss difficulty Dinosaur World.]

[This clear took 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 16 seconds, surpassing 85% of challengers; overall rating A.]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the corresponding clear reward: academic credits + 3. It has been recorded in your student ID; please check.]

After nearly two hours of full-burst effort, Xu Le finally understood the suffering of the three people last time.

Tired!

Too tired!

He didn't even want to move a finger.

But everything was worth it.

With the difficulty of leveling up becoming greater and greater, he had achieved a seven-level increase.

His current experience was: Level 49 (14,250,000 / 21,000,000).

With less than 7 million experience points left, he could reach level 50 and unlock another contracted beast slot.

Now, he finally realized what type of contracted beast he should choose for his fifth slot.

One that reduces defense!

This Dinosaur Lord was so tanky it made him want to vomit.

Originally, he had thought about grinding the dungeon a few more times, but after finishing this run, he felt like he didn't want to grind any dungeons for the rest of the week.

Too tiresome!

...

He searched online for contracted beasts that could reduce defense.

He looked through a bunch of various posts and forums.

The dense list of pet beast Skills made his head spin.

He finally set his sights on a raven.

In folklore, crows and ravens were both symbols of wisdom and death.

The difference was that ravens were larger and more ferocious.

In this world, their Skills also had more similarities; the difference was that ravens tended toward negative buffs, while crows were more neutral.

First, he checked the list in the group; there were no ordinary ravens, and the high-end ones were too expensive.

An SS-grade raven actually cost 200 academic credits, which, converted to Credits, was 100 million.

Unbelievable!

Xu Le decided to go to the mall to hunt for an ordinary one.

...

The next day.

Xu Le went out early.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze observing him. He looked up, but the gaze vanished, as if it had just been an illusion.

Thinking about how he had frequently been trending recently, he figured he had been recognized by a "fan," so he didn't pay it any mind and headed straight for the city's largest... bird and flower market.
