152: Chapter 152 Eliminating the Dinosaurs: A Swift and Decisive Strike

Sang Qing frowned, displeased, and turned over to get out of bed.

By the time she went downstairs, Aniel was happily playing with the Little Cubs again.

“Fu Ning, where’s Herman?”

Sang Qing saw only Fu Ning in the house and couldn't help but frown slightly.

What was wrong with that Herman fellow? Didn't he close the door properly when he left this morning?

Fu Ning was squeezing vegetable juice for the Little Cubs. He looked up at his mate, leaned in, and kissed her. “He went to school.”

“Sister, I want a kiss too!” Aniel, seeing Fu Ning kiss her, instantly widened his lion eyes and threw down his toy, running towards her.

Sang Qing raised her foot, and Aniel, startled, flinched back, pouting aggrievedly.

No, she really couldn't stand it.

“Fu Ning, take Aniel to school later.” To avoid feeling annoyed watching him at home.

“Okay!” Fu Ning readily agreed.

After Fu Ning took Aniel away, the house returned to its usual tranquility.

Sang Qing played with the Little Cubs for a while, then took them all to the rooftop.

It was already the spring season, no longer cold, and the flowers on the rooftop were in full bloom. It was a good time to take them up to see them and bask in the sun.

The three little ones who could walk steadily ran around on the rooftop.

Sang Qing covered the eyes of the other three sleeping Little Cubs, letting them get more sun, while she sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

“Mother, flower!” Sang Yu walked up to her, holding a small purple flower in her tiny hand, and handed it to her in a childish voice.

Sang Qing opened her eyes, a gentle smile gracing her lips. She reached out and patted her little head. “Thank you, Cub!”

So adorable.

“Mother, here!” The other two little ones followed suit, pulling at the carefully nurtured flowers in her flower pot and handing them to her.

Sang Qing looked at the scattered soil on the ground, quickly sat up, and brushed the dirt off their clothes.

“Little Ling, Sang Che, be gentle with Mother’s flowers.” These two strong little monsters, if this continued, her rooftop flowers would be played to death by them in no time.

Sang Qing took the flowers, kissed them, then swept the dirt back into the flowerpot and replanted the flowers.

Sang Ling and Sang Che tilted their heads, looking somewhat confused.

But it didn't matter, as long as Mother liked it.

“Sister, flowers!” In the evening, Aniel returned home with Aqi. As soon as he changed his shoes, he excitedly ran to Sang Qing, handing her a bouquet of vibrant yellow fresh flowers.

Sang Qing was startled, then realized it was a bunch of Winter Jasmine.

Seeing Aniel’s expectant expression, Sang Qing paused for a moment. “Find a vase and put the flowers in it.”

“Oh!” Aniel immediately became dejected.

Sister doesn't like yellow flowers, so he'll change to a different kind tomorrow.

At night, Sang Qing, Xuan Xiao, and Sa Yu discussed the matter of clearing the Dinosaurs in the house.

Aniel secretly poked his head out the door, and with an adorable expression, he said to Sang Qing, “Sister, I’m going to sleep.”

“Sister~”

Why isn't she paying attention to him?

Sang Qing looked up and gave him a look. “Then go to sleep quickly!”

“If you don't stay with me, I can't sleep.” Aniel pouted, looking at her with his shiny big eyes.

“Sa Yu, give him a punch!” Sang Qing implied there was nothing a fist couldn't solve.

“Ah!” Sa Yu scratched his head.

Does it really have to be like this?

Upon hearing this, Aniel was so frightened that he immediately hid in his room.

But then his miserable, helpless cries came through.

Sa Yu and Xuan Xiao twitched their mouths, looking at each other in disbelief.

Aniel truly was... unique.

They didn't know what to say anymore.

Sang Qing also didn't bother with him; let him cry.

But as Aniel cried, the three Little Cubs who had just been coaxed to sleep became restless again.

“Aniel, keep your voice down!” Fu Ning, annoyed, burst out of the room and roared at Aniel.

It was late at night, and if he didn't sleep, the Little Cubs still needed to.

“Wuwuwu… I want Sister, I want Sister…” Aniel lowered his voice, but still continued to cry.

Sang Qing was at her wit's end, but had no other choice, so she got up and went to Aniel’s room.

Sleep, sleep, sleep.

Whoever doesn't sleep is a dog.

Sang Qing sat by the bed, staring at Aniel.

Aniel fell asleep quickly, his tear stains still on his face, a sparkling tear still hanging from the corner of his eye.

This time, Sang Qing was smart and left without turning off the light.

She successfully got through the night.

Today, Sang Qing was going out with Xuan Xiao and the others to clear the Dinosaurs.

This matter had not been announced to any Beastman, except for Song Zhen.

Sa Yu remained in the city to oversee the situation, to prevent a surprise attack from the Dragon Clan.

Sang Qing, on the other hand, took one-third of the city's Guard Beastmen and Chi Yu.

Song Zhen sat on the back of a Sea Eagle Beastman, looking at the boundless green grassland, her mood not particularly joyful.

The cold season was finally over.

Sang Qing also sat on Chi Yu’s back, with Xuan Xiao and the other Guard Beastmen galloping below.

Directly catching Dinosaurs was impossible, but she had her ways.

She could use a trapping plan, setting traps in areas frequently visited by Dinosaurs to lure them in.

They had to clear out some Dinosaurs, not completely, but at least most of them, because Kuna was about to start farming on the grassland. If Dinosaurs frequently appeared, their crops might not be safe.

After placing fresh beast carcasses with a special scent together, Sang Qing sprayed each Guard Beastman with an herbal spray that masked their natural scent, then led the Guard Beastmen to hide in specially dug pits, quietly waiting for the Dinosaurs to arrive.

Song Zhen wiped the long knife in her hand, its dark blade reflecting her sharp eyes, which were full of eagerness.

She hadn't had enough fun fighting Dinosaurs before, but today, she finally had another chance.

Sang Qing leaned against Chi Yu, taking a sip of water. At this point, they had arrived at the central part of the grassland, about half a day's journey from Beast King City.

They definitely couldn't go home tonight; they would probably stay on the grassland for two or three days, maybe even longer, depending on the number of Dinosaurs.

The rich scent of blood spread through the air. The Guard Beastmen sat in the pits, staring intently at the pile of beast carcasses in the distance, each holding a Crossbow.

Before long, several small beasts, drawn by the scent of blood, ran over. The Guard Beastmen shot them down directly, then calmly remained in their positions.

Their target wasn't the wild beasts, so there was no need to deal with the carcasses; in fact, leaving them like this was quite good.

Perhaps, the Dinosaurs would be attracted soon.

The ground trembled slightly. Song Zhen suddenly opened her eyes and whispered, “I hear several footsteps.”

Could it be several Dinosaurs again?

Sang Qing also noticed the anomaly, sat up, her gaze dark. “It shouldn't be far.”

Are Dinosaurs traveling in groups now?

She didn't know how many Dinosaurs were on the grassland now. The system told her to scan the entire grassland, but points were precious, and she was reluctant, so she didn't scan.

In short, as long as Dinosaurs dared to appear, they would kill them without hesitation.

The trembling of the ground became more obvious. Song Zhen gripped her knife, a hint of excitement in her eyes.

The other Guard Beastmen had excitement and fear in their eyes, but they did not retreat.

After being trained by Song Zhen for so long, they also knew what it meant to advance bravely.

As the distance grew shorter, Song Zhen felt five distinct breaths and gave the Guard Beastmen a signal.

But she heard two heavier breaths and three lighter ones, so she felt it should be two Large Dinosaurs with three small ones.

Oh, a whole family was going to die by her blade.

Exciting!

Three not-so-massive figures rushed over, sniffed around the beast carcasses on the ground, and a covetous red light appeared in their eyes.

The cold season had just ended, and wild beasts were not abundant. Even large creatures like Dinosaurs hadn't had a full meal in a long time.

So, whether the wild beasts were dead or alive, as long as they were fresh, it was fine.

The three small Dinosaurs, without waiting for their parents to approach, impatiently began to gnaw at the wild beasts. Soon, their mouths were covered in fresh blood, and gurgling sounds came from their throats.

There were many wild beasts, enough for the three Dinosaurs to eat slowly, even more than they could finish.

The other two Dinosaurs approached with heavy steps, first cautiously scanning their surroundings, then lowered their heads to tear at the scraps of the wild beasts and taste a few bites.

After confirming there was no problem, the whole family sprawled on the ground, tearing at the meat like wild dogs feeding.

Song Zhen didn't rush to act, because Sang Qing had put medicine in the wild beasts, so she would wait for these Dinosaurs to eat for a while longer.

Xuan Xiao held Sang Qing’s hand and secretly scratched her palm.

Sang Qing pinched his waist, telling him to behave and not attract the Dinosaurs' attention.

Although they were downwind, the Dinosaurs' keen senses were still very powerful.

The wild beasts on the ground were quickly finished by the family. At this point, they stood up and burped.

She didn't know if it was Song Zhen’s illusion, but she seemed to see one Dinosaur sway slightly. Could it be that the medicine was taking effect?

The Dinosaurs slowly left. Song Zhen looked at Sang Qing, asking if they could make their move now.

Sang Qing blinked. Song Zhen's eyes lit up, and after giving the Guard Beastmen a signal, she led them out.

Chi Yu also wanted to rush out, but Sang Qing held him back. “What are you going to do?”

As a Shaman, he was brought along to prevent accidents and to heal the Guard Beastmen.

“I've been learning from Song Zhen for a while, so it’s a good chance to practice.” Chi Yu’s shoulder-length hair was tied into a ponytail, and he wore a neat black outfit, giving him a bit of an ancient warrior's vibe.

Sang Qing thought for a moment and then let him go.

Every Beastman should experience training.

Sang Qing also stepped out of the pit.

She trusted Song Zhen and the others, but to prevent any accidents, she still needed to stand by.

Song Zhen deeply understood the power of Dinosaurs, and these two Large Dinosaurs were even more formidable than the ones encountered last time in Blue Mountain Tribe. Their combat power would definitely be more ferocious.

She was not a reckless person. Since there was a good method, giving them medicine first, she could wait a while longer until the medicine in their bodies had mostly taken effect before making a move.

As for why Sang Qing didn't use poison, it was to give Song Zhen and the others a chance to train their skills.

After this, Song Zhen would lead teams out to clear Dinosaurs alone, so this was purely a trial for her.

The steps of the small Dinosaurs in the distance began to falter, as if they couldn't stand steadily.

Song Zhen knew the opportunity had come, and immediately roared, “Charge!”

After waiting so long, it was finally their turn.

The Guard Beastmen heard the command and charged forward in an orderly fashion, surrounding the Dinosaurs.

Song Zhen darted forward, leaping onto the back of the Large Dinosaur, leaving the Small Dinosaurs to them.

A true female must kill the most powerful beasts.

For two consecutive days, Sang Qing and the others traveled through the grassland, eating and sleeping in the open... just kidding.

For these two days, they ate Dinosaur meat, drank snow mountain water, and could run and howl without restraint. These beasts had an incredibly joyful time.

And the number of Dinosaurs they killed also increased, from the initial five to dozens, then hundreds.

Sang Qing found it a bit unbelievable.

There weren't so many Dinosaurs on the grassland before; how did so many suddenly appear now?

A bad premonition rose in her heart.

If this continued, Kuna would definitely run into trouble after planting the fields.

These past few days, she had exchanged over ten thousand points just by collecting Dinosaur corpses, and this was only after searching half of the grassland. This shows how many Dinosaurs were still left on the grassland.

Entering the Gobi Desert at the edge of the grassland, with sand flying everywhere, Sang Qing covered her face, looking at the area expressionlessly.

Song Zhen's eyes were almost blinded by the sandstorm. She loudly asked Sang Qing, "City Lord, the environment here is so harsh, can there be Dinosaurs?"

Sang Qing moved her lips, unable to guarantee, "I don't know, but I guess there must be."

Because she had seen several large caves.

When she and Sa Yu discovered that nest of Dinosaurs, it was in such a cave.

"Alright, I'll have the beasts set up traps." It was still early today; if they killed a wave, there would still be time.

Song Zhen liked Sang Qing's easygoing personality; she never felt oppressed or coerced by her. During her time here since transmigrating, she had lived incredibly happily.

And when she returned this time, she could Pair Bond with her mate. How wonderful.

The Guard Beasts dragged the killed wild beasts to the upwind position indicated by Song Zhen. As they were about to pile up the beasts, chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard a roar from not far away.

The roar was very familiar.

It was a Dinosaur!

Song Zhen looked at the Dinosaurs emerging from the cave entrance, her eyes sharp, "Quick, run!"

Good heavens, there really were Dinosaurs here.

Their noses were quite sensitive.

But why did their appearance differ from the Dinosaurs they had killed before?

Song Zhen immediately noticed the anomaly and quickly called for the Guard Beastmen to leave.

The Guard Beastmen dropped the wild beasts in their hands and quickly transformed into their Beast Forms to run.

However, the Dinosaurs not far away seemed exceptionally swift, with long, sturdy legs, running with particular agility.

Moreover, their numbers were not small, at least a dozen or so, but their size was not particularly large, only slightly bigger than ferocious Iron Horn Beasts, completely incomparable to the Large Dinosaurs they had killed before.

Sang Qing ran while looking back.

"System, scan!"

[Scan complete. This Dinosaur is a Mutated Velociraptor, a carnivorous Dinosaur, skilled at running, estimated value three hundred points. Live specimens cannot be listed.]

Hoo!

The third type of Dinosaur appeared.

Sang Qing's eyes flickered.

"Defense! Two against one!" Seeing that they were about to be outrun by these Dinosaurs, Song Zhen quickly formulated a countermeasure.

She felt that they couldn't outrun these Dinosaurs either. Instead of wasting their stamina in vain, it was better to fight a wave. Today, her blade had not yet tasted blood, and everyone was full of energy, so they might as well engage in battle.

Moreover, she noticed that several Dinosaurs were attracted by the discarded wild beasts and were engrossed in eating. The number of Dinosaurs chasing them was also not as many as the Guard Beastmen they had brought, so they could fight.

"Yes!" The Guard Beastmen also quickly responded, stopping their steps and no longer fleeing.

They took out the long spears from their backs, their gazes sharp and fierce, looking at the Dinosaurs, and initiated an attack.

Xuan Xiao guarded Sang Qing, transforming into his Beast Form.

Sang Qing looked at Xuan Xiao's Beast Form, not expecting his Beast Form to be even larger than the Velociraptor's Beast Form.

But no Dinosaurs attacked Sang Qing; they were evenly distributed among the Guard Beastmen, so she was safe instead.

Sang Qing watched them from Xuan Xiao's Beast Form, not intervening.

Song Zhen was a qualified warrior; she knew how to deal with such situations.

In the sky, Chi Yu brought several Sea Eagle Beastmen, their eyes full of interest, and joined the battle.

Song Zhen found that these Dinosaurs were not large in size and moved with exceptional speed. She was even a bit unsure if she could jump onto their backs.

Since the back wouldn't work, then it would be a frontal confrontation.

But she felt that these Dinosaurs' lethality shouldn't be great; their teeth weren't that sharp.

Song Zhen actively approached, swinging her blade to first test the hardness of this Dinosaur's outer skin.

Fortunately, it was much less hard than the Dinosaurs they had encountered before; she could cut through it even without infusing true qi.

Then she wouldn't be polite.

Xuan Xiao poked his mate's waist with his tail, looking at the Dinosaur fighting with Song Zhen, and asked curiously, "Qing Qing, what kind of Dinosaur is this?"

"Velociraptor, known for its speed, but you can definitely outrun them." Sang Qing pinched his tail, saying crisply.

Xuan Xiao flicked his tongue, his ears slightly red, "I won't run away."

How could she pinch his tail in front of so many beasts?

But he also couldn't bear to pull it back; being pinched by his mate felt so comfortable.

However, a snake's tail is not a mating organ, but rather its inverse scale, which generally isn't allowed to be touched by any beast.

Just as Song Zhen and the Guard Beastmen easily dealt with several Dinosaurs, another wave of Dinosaurs, even greater in number, ran out from a distant cave.

Sang Qing thought for a moment and did not join in immediately, only reminding Song Zhen, "Song Zhen, watch your back."

Song Zhen looked back, her eyes subtly excited.

It seemed she could slaughter a great many today.

"No problem, City Lord, watch me, don't interfere yet."

If the City Lord interfered, she wouldn't even have drawn her blade, and these Dinosaurs would probably be annihilated by her.

"Okay!" Sang Qing shrugged.

She had originally wanted to test her Supernatural Ability.

The Guard Beastmen were all above fifth-rank, not yet sixth-rank, so dealing with these Dinosaurs, with two Guard Beastmen working together, wasn't a big problem.

They occasionally glanced at Song Zhen, seeing her agile figure, flowing long hair, killing Dinosaurs as easily as chopping vegetables, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

After admiration came adoration; they were practically emitting heart-shaped eyes.

Sang Qing looked at them, shaking her head with a smile, "Everyone be careful, finish quickly, otherwise more Dinosaurs will appear in a moment."

Velociraptors were not like Tyrannosaurus Rex; as long as they defended carefully, the Beastmen could all handle them.

If the grassland were full of Velociraptors, the threat would not be so great.

However, Sang Qing was still very happy to see so many Dinosaurs, because these were all points.

Three hundred per head, these Dinosaurs could provide her with several thousand to tens of thousands of points again.

This outing was a huge profit.

"Xuan Xiao, do you want to try?" Sang Qing saw Xuan Xiao just accompanying her on the side, with no intention of making a move, and couldn't help but ask out of concern.

"No!" Xuan Xiao shook his head slightly.

Protecting his mate was his primary task; he could deal with these Dinosaurs with ease.

Sang Qing was a bit itching to try, but there weren't many Velociraptors left.

Soon, the scent of blood on the ground was carried away by the wind, and even the sandstorm weakened a bit.

Sang Qing looked at the fallen Velociraptors; not a single one was still breathing.

After a short rest, Song Zhen recovered her strength and began imparting experience to the Guard Beastmen.

Sang Qing, on the other hand, looked at the caves not far away.

There were probably young Dinosaurs and Dinosaur eggs inside; they had to investigate.

Calling Song Zhen, the group of beasts once again started walking towards the caves.

In the dark cave, the air was sticky and foul-smelling.

A familiar scent wafted over, and Sang Qing slowly walked inside.

At this moment, several weak roars came from the cave, sounding without any deterrent.

It seemed there really were juvenile Dinosaurs.

Song Zhen rushed into the innermost part first, mercilessly dealing with them.

However, when she saw the pile of unhatched Dinosaur eggs, she hesitated for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking, a look of indecision on her face.

"Song Zhen, what's wrong?" Why are you spacing out?

Sang Qing asked, puzzled.

Hurry up and get to work; there are still several caves that haven't been searched, and they had just entered the Gobi Desert area; there was still a large territory waiting for them to explore.

Song Zhen didn't hide her thoughts from Sang Qing. She pointed at the eggs in the cave, scratching her scalp, "City Lord, I... I think these Dinosaurs are quite interesting. What do you say if I take two eggs back to hatch myself and raise them as pets?"

Not good!

Sang Qing was speechless.

She had never even had such a thought.

Song Zhen was indeed unique.

"City Lord..." Song Zhen's pleading gaze drifted over, lowering her posture, "Let me try, okay? If it poses a threat to the Beastmen after hatching, I'll kill it immediately, I promise not to cause you any trouble."

Sang Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, but you said it, you have to be responsible for your own words."

Had she considered what they would eat if the Dinosaurs were tamed by her?

Forget it, let her be.

"I promise." Song Zhen smiled brightly.

Mainly, she felt that this Dinosaur looked quite auspicious, not as ugly as the Large Dinosaurs, and its body was relatively small, so its lethality wasn't great.

If they could be domesticated, it seemed quite good.

Sang Qing let her choose two eggs; the rest were all destroyed.

After clearing out the Dinosaurs in this cave, they pushed deep into the Gobi Desert, searching along the edge of the grassland.

A few more days passed, and when the grass on the grassland had grown several more times, they finally finished their search of the Gobi Desert.

The grassland had basically been cleared.

While there were still some stragglers, they wouldn't pose any threat to Beast King City in the short term. Sang Qing would continue to send people to hunt them down later.

On the way back to the city, Song Zhen hugged the eggs in her arms, touching them for a while, tapping them for a while, overjoyed.

Sang Qing, meanwhile, was calculating her earnings from this trip.
