Chapter 155 Altar (Third Update)
Bottom of the rift valley.

The group chased after the one-clawed dragon in the direction it had fled. Ahead, they spotted another one-clawed dragon, its leg seemingly injured or suffering from some kind of illness.

Its escape posture was somewhat strange, and its speed was also slower than that of its kind.

Seeing that he was about to be caught up, Du Yu stabbed him to death with a spear.

Qin Ziwen stopped Du Yu, "Let it run."

The footsteps of those one-clawed dragons ahead had gradually receded into the distance; these guys' burst speed was even faster than expected.

After running around a corner, the one-clawed dragon suddenly turned left and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qin Ziwen stopped and looked in the direction of the one-clawed dragon that had suddenly disappeared.

Here, another branch road extends out vertically.

The side path is not very wide, only wide enough for one or two people to walk side by side. Even slightly larger wild animals cannot pass through here.

"Captain, shall we go in?"

"Let's go." Qin Ziwen pondered for a moment and decided to chase after them. This side road should not be long. When the photos were taken from the sky, there were no obvious branches. If this side road were long, it would be very obvious.

As you walk forward in the direction of the single-clawed dragon, the terrain becomes increasingly higher, and the constant wind and sand have accumulated a thick layer of sand at the bottom of this narrow rift valley.

Walking uphill on the sand, after turning two corners, the view ahead suddenly opens up.

They had reached the surface and looked back; this was the opposite side of the rift valley.

The limping, one-clawed dragon ran towards the back of a rocky hill not far away.

"That should be it." Qin Ziwen led the group over. "Be careful. If it's a nest, these one-clawed dragons might not run away anymore."

Upon hearing Qin Ziwen's words, apart from Du Yu and the others who were already prepared, everyone else gripped their weapons tightly, adjusted their backpacks and other belongings, and were ready for battle at any moment.

"Hiss!" At the top of the slope, a single-clawed dragon stood out and warned the approaching group.

Upon hearing the call, nearly thirty or forty single-clawed dragons immediately rushed out from behind the slope.

This group of monoclawed dinosaurs varied in size, with the largest being over a meter long and the smallest less than a meter.

Seeing its companion rush out, the one-clawed dragon, which was limping back to its nest, was dumbfounded.

One of the largest, a head taller than its peers, came over and swung its tail, knocking the lame one-clawed dragon to the ground.

It roared angrily at the fallen one-clawed dragon.

Then it led a large number of one-clawed dragons to surround it.

"quack!"

Numerous single-clawed dragons emitted noisy cries as they huddled together.

"Let's take a look first." Qin Ziwen led the group back, preparing to circle around and check the nest of the single-clawed dragon on the back of the sand dune.

Seeing the group of humans retreat, the one-clawed dragons, which had been staying put, became excited and chased after them.

"Ok?"

Qin Ziwen stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the group of one-clawed dragons in surprise. These things were like dogs, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Then let's not retreat for now, let's kill them."

The group raised their spears and charged towards the approaching one-clawed dragon.

"Hiss!"

The first few single-clawed dragons charged the fastest.

Qin Ziwen thrust his fork down, seemingly without much effort, and lifted the one-clawed dragon from its abdomen.

Then he swung it to the ground and pulled out the three-pronged fork.

The one-clawed dragon lying on the ground had blood gushing from its chest and its body was convulsing.

To the right front, a one-clawed dragon was running at top speed, its hard beak pecking at Qin Ziwen's chest. A long spear extended from behind him. Qin Ziwu raised the spear, lifted the one-clawed dragon, and with a flick of his arm, he felt as if he had lifted a charging goose. With a low growl, he flipped the one-clawed dragon to the ground.

"Hiss!" A noisy cry came from the left as the one-clawed dragon leader kicked Yuan Ming in the side with its sharp claws.

The jacket was ripped to shreds instantly.

Yuan Dajun swung his spiked club and smashed it into the neck of the single-clawed dragon leader.

They smashed him to the ground, twisting his neck at a crooked angle; he was clearly beyond saving.

After two or three waves of charging, only five single-clawed dragons remained on the field. They cried out in fear from afar, then fled without looking back, not even daring to return to their nest.

After the group of one-clawed dinosaurs escaped, Yuan Ming's mournful cry could be heard from the sidelines.

"Ouch, that thing really hurts when you kick it, ouch—"

After checking around, Yuan Ming was the most seriously injured. He had been kicked in the side by the leader of the giant single-clawed dragon, which not only tore his clothes but also left his skin covered in blood, with three deep claw marks.

Yuan Dajun took out alcohol from his backpack and was applying it to disinfect the area.

"Luckily, your clothes covered it." Zhao Pu observed for a moment. "It's just a superficial wound, no internal organs were damaged. You can take some antibiotics if you have them."

"Thank you, Dr. Zhao. How should I bandage this?" Yuan Dajun was a little flustered, so Zhao Pu took over and helped bandage the wound.

Wang Jun teased, "What happened to you? How did you get injured again?"

Yuan Ming rubbed the back of his head, feeling that he was also a bit unlucky, as if he was the most vulnerable to injury in the team.

Besides Yuan Ming, several other people also suffered some injuries.

However, most of the bruises were caused by the unicorn dragon pecking at them, and since everyone was using long weapons, it was difficult for the unicorn dragon to get close.

Qin Ziwen grabbed the neck and lifted up the carcass of a one-clawed dragon. "So light, probably only a little over ten pounds."

No wonder it was solved so easily; it's not even in the same weight class as a human.

Wang Jun examined it carefully: "The neck and tail are very long, the torso is short, and I guess the bones are hollow."

“Mine is a bit heavier! I estimate it’s almost 20 pounds!” Yuan Ming lifted the corpse of the one-clawed dragon leader. Compared to other dragons of the same kind, this leader’s claws were longer and its tail was thicker.

After dealing with the group of single-clawed dragons, the group advanced a distance and crossed the rocky hillside.

An unpleasant odor was coming from below.

It is the smell produced when feces are mixed with the long-term accumulation of poultry under high temperatures.

"There's an altar." Qin Ziwu's eyes lit up.

In the central area of ​​the back slope, a gray-white square altar stands in place.

Many nests were built around the altar, like bird nests built in the desert.

These nests are neatly distributed, spreading outwards in a dotted pattern.

There were some dead branches and pebbles piled up near the nest, or some bushes.

Some ditches were also dug between the nests.

Inside these nests, seven or eight female unicornuates were emitting sharp cries, and behind them hid some baby unicornuates.

"Let's go down first."

The group descended the gentle slope, and under the watchful gaze of the mother single-clawed dragon, Qin Ziwen ascended the altar and retrieved the white expansion card.

The front of the expansion card features a lush green meadow.

[Expansion Card] Grassland Extension Card (Medium)

Li Yue sighed, "These monocranosaurs are still too weak. They're just tiny dinosaurs, nothing special. Don't they have any stronger opponents?"

Just then, the pebbles underfoot trembled slightly.

Heavy footsteps, from indistinct to clear, came from around the corner of a rock pillar a hundred meters away, where a group of enormous brown dinosaurs strode out.

　I'm going to have breakfast, I'll come back and write an extra chapter.
