Chapter 77

The ground was a bloody mess, littered with the mangled bodies of raptors. The girl stood in the center of the carnage, thick blood dripping from her body, but most of it wasn't hers. Her injuries were minor, and her eyes displayed a hollow look. A fluffy, cute tail peeked out from behind her hips, and at that moment, she exuded an aura of both allure and temptation.

After a moment, Chen Fei's eyes gradually regained their luster, and then a look of fatigue appeared on her face as she collapsed to the ground.

"Damn it, Zhao Zhu, because of you, I had to activate the Cat Spirit Seal. How am I supposed to complete the next task?"

Of course, at this moment, Chen Fei would never think that she had initially wanted Zhao Zhu to be the one to take the brunt of the attack, closing him on the other side of the door, which ultimately led to her being surrounded by nearly twenty raptors. She was a woman, a beautiful woman, and such thoughts were her prerogative.

Staggering to her feet, Chen Fei's limbs felt weak and powerless, but she still had to leave as soon as possible to find water and clean herself. Otherwise, the smell of blood would attract a large number of dinosaurs wherever she went.

Not long after Chen Fei left, a round egg rolled out from some corner. It rolled into the pool of blood and began to absorb the surrounding blood greedily. The eggshell seemed to house a very hungry little creature. As the blood around it became thinner, the egg swelled slightly, as if the little thing inside had a full belly. Then, the egg rolled away again, "gurgle gurgle."

...

"Can we eat this thing?" Zhao Zhu asked, for no other reason than that he saw Fan Pian pull out half of the half-dragon man's leg from the crater and start a fire to roast it. Thinking about eating the flesh of that disgusting creature, Zhao Zhu instinctively felt repulsed. Most importantly, there were other things to eat in the primeval forest; they wouldn't really starve.

"What, don't like it? Tsk tsk tsk, you're really wasting a good thing. Do you think mutants just easily mutate? From the speed and strength it displayed, do you know how much power is contained in its body? It's a humanoid dinosaur. If it hadn't been for the crystal bomb I set off, we would have all died at its hands. As the saying goes, concentration is the essence. Its size isn't much larger than a human's, but it has so much strength, meaning it's full of essence. Not eating it would be a waste." Fan Pian explained while roasting the meat.

"Aren't you worried that the smell of the roasted meat will attract other carnivorous dinosaurs?"

"Don't worry, other dinosaurs will be more likely to avoid the smell." Fan Pian reassured him.

Zhao Zhu had no choice but to sit down and watch Fan Pian roast the meat.

"After we finish this meal, I'll take you to find the surviving tourists. Their location is easy to find; each of them has communication equipment to help them survive. However, because the island has been temporarily assigned to us, the horror web novel experiencers, for our tasks, outside rescue is impossible. This is probably one of the bugs in this web novel world. Their attempts to call for help are almost futile, but they will continue to try. I have a signal tracking device, so I can pinpoint their location. After I help you find the surviving tourists, we can go together to find the dinosaur eggs for the main task 5."

"Why are you so well-prepared?"

"Because I'm weak." Fan Pian rolled her eyes. "This is only my second task world. In this level, I'm just a nobody in the group, not even worth the name. If I don't prepare more, I'll only end up as cannon fodder." Fan Pian rolled her eyes again and then shouted, "Alright, the meat is ready. Here, take this piece, let's eat."

Zhao Zhu took a piece of the roasted meat, hesitated for a moment, and then took a bite. To be honest, it tasted terrible, like biting into a car tire, and it was hard to chew. He could only chew it symbolically before swallowing it. However, after swallowing it, he immediately felt a warm sensation in his stomach, and his entire body felt relaxed. At that moment, Zhao Zhu understood that Fan Pian was right; the meat was hard to eat but very effective.

After finishing the difficult meal, Zhao Zhu and Fan Pian set off again. The signal Fan Pian was tracking was about seven to eight kilometers away from their original location. They could only continue on foot, but fortunately, the signal source was continuously transmitting and not moving, making the tracking easier.

"The surviving tourists are getting fewer. Some were killed by us experiencers, but more were eaten by dinosaurs. If we wait too long, all the surviving tourists will be dead, and you won't be able to complete your task. There, behind that hill, is where they are hiding. Go and deal with it yourself, be careful, they might have guns."

"Alright, I'll wait here."

Zhao Zhu didn't worry that Fan Pian would betray him. Although their relationship wasn't particularly good, even somewhat dirty, Zhao Zhu knew that Fan Pian needed his help to steal the dinosaur eggs, so she had no reason to harm him at this moment.

When Zhao Zhu carefully climbed over the small hill, he indeed heard people talking. He closed his eyes and used his mental power to "see." In Zhao Zhu's mind, an image appeared, showing three people: two men and one woman. One person was standing, and two were sitting. The standing person held a gun. Zhao Zhu's mental power couldn't yet provide more detailed information.

He opened his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood up resolutely, walking down the hill.

"Who!!"

The person on guard was a tall, blond white man. Seeing Zhao Zhu suddenly appear, he immediately pointed the gun at him.

"Excuse me, do you have a phone? My phone is broken, and I can't call for help." Zhao Zhu's expression and tone were perfect; at that moment, he was a surviving tourist.

"Tom, let him come over, let him stay with us." Women are always soft-hearted, and the white woman suggested.

But Tom shook his head. "No, if there are too many people, the smell will be too strong and attract dinosaurs. You, leave here on your own, and don't follow us, or I'll shoot you!"

Seeing himself rejected, Zhao Zhu's face showed disappointment, despair, and numbness. He sighed and prepared to leave, but halfway through turning, he turned back and asked:

"Do you have any food? Can you give me a piece of bread? I haven't eaten in a long time."

"You..." Tom was about to scold Zhao Zhu and tell him to leave, but the white woman took out half a bag of cookies and said, "We don't have much food left, but we can give you half a bag of cookies."

"Thank you, thank you so much, thank you so much." Zhao Zhu appeared very grateful, taking small steps to receive the cookies, which also brought him closer to the three people.

"Take the cookies and leave quickly, don't push your luck!" Tom grumbled as Zhao Zhu approached.

However, when Zhao Zhu was less than two meters away from Tom, he used his mental power to push Tom's ankle. Caught off guard, Tom lost his balance and fell to the ground. Zhao Zhu quickly picked up a fist-sized pebble and rushed forward, striking Tom's face with great force.

Zhao Zhu's strength was now very great, and this blow almost crushed Tom's face. Tom was barely breathing, and Zhao Zhu quickly took the gun from Tom's hand and fired several shots into Tom's chest.

"Main Task 4 completed. Next, Main Task 5:

Main Task 5: Steal a dragon egg and bring it to the tourist hall.

Task completion reward: 800 points, one G-chicken plot."

Hearing the group leader's prompt in his mind, Zhao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, picked up the cookies, and left without a second glance at the two remaining people, who were almost cowering in fear.

Behind the hill, Fan Pian was leaning against a tree, adjusting her equipment. Seeing Zhao Zhu walk over, she couldn't help but say:

"Using human compassion, you're a beast."

"If I show compassion to others, who will show compassion to me?" Zhao Zhu replied.
