National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

In the deep sea, the fourth-tier carapace behemoth is approaching.

Its enormous body pushed aside the seawater, creating a terrifying undercurrent visible to the naked eye.

It has no eyes, only degenerated photosensitive spots, but two thick tentacles on its head are vibrating at a high frequency.

It has identified Zhang Li.

More precisely, they locked onto the residual aura of Star Marrow Spirit Liquid on Zhang Li's body...

Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom's official live stream room.

The scene was dark, and the lens distortion caused by the water pressure made the giant beast's figure appear even more ferocious.

After a brief silence, the comments section exploded.

"What kind of monster is this? How can it be so huge!"

"It's got its eye on Li Shen! Li Shen is struggling to even move now, how are we supposed to fight it?!"

"Run, Li Shen!"

From the commentary booth, He Jiong turned to Academician Ma, his voice tense: "Professor Ma, what kind of creature is this?"

Academician Ma stared at the screen, his mind racing, and after a full half minute of struggling, he finally gave up in frustration...

"I don't know either." Academician Ma's voice was dry. "It's not in the fossil record. This kind of crustacean structure and limb distribution has never existed in any known evolutionary gap on Earth!"

Devonian deep sea.

Zhang Li hovered in the icy water.

Amphibians work at full capacity, squeezing out the air they need to survive from the scarce dissolved oxygen.

The giant beast's right claw had already risen, and its enormous shadow completely enveloped Zhang Li...

Zhang Li remained calm.

The more desperate the situation, the calmer his mind became.

Fourth-tier potions should not be taken, as they will cause the patient to enter a period of loss of control.

He immediately channeled his mental energy into his storage space, preparing to retrieve the scales of the Abyssal Dragon and his military knife for a final, desperate struggle.

But the moment his mental energy probed into the space, he froze.

The internal structure of the space has changed.

Next to the original 100-cubic-meter space for storing supplies, a completely independent compartment has been added.

This compartment does not use up any storage space...

And in that void, a colossal creature lay silently.

Ark's original guardian entity!

It did not dissipate in the white light of the copy!

After the energy symbiotic link was established, it was identified by the system as Zhang Li's symbiotic entity, which directly brought out the "Ark of Annihilation"!

The image of it transforming into specks of light and flying into the sky flashed through Zhang Li's mind instantly...

Its transformation after breaking free from the control of the Ark system, its ultimate destination is its symbiotic space!

Zhang Li immediately scanned the area with his all-seeing eye.

[Ark's Original Guardian]

[Status: Energy symbiosis... Mutual understanding.]

[Rank Assessment: Late Stage 4]

Zhang Li's pupils constricted slightly.

Late stage of fourth rank?

He remembered clearly that he could discern the level of the Emperor Wind God Wyvern when he was at the second tier.

Previously, when monitoring the guard body, the system's evaluation was "unable to assess".

This means that the original level of the guardian was definitely at least Tier 5 or even higher...

The current display shows the late stage of the fourth order, which can only be explained by one thing... energy symbiosis.

Symbiosis is a two-way street...

Zhang Li was only at the third level. His weak cultivation level was like a container that was too small, forcibly suppressing the upper limit of the Guardian Body's power.

Once he breaks through to the fourth tier, the power of his Guardian Body will be unlocked.

Even if I'm suppressed to the late fourth tier, it's enough to deal with this armored behemoth in front of me!

outside world.

The giant beast's right claw, carrying immense force, crashed down on Zhang Li.

The water pressure was compressed to its limit, forming a semi-transparent wall of air that pinned Zhang Li firmly to the spot.

"come out!"

Zhang Li had a sudden thought.

In the deep sea, a cluster of eerie green light suddenly exploded.

The guardian appeared out of thin air.

Without any warning, its six wings, covered in a dark gray mineral carapace, suddenly unfurled, forming an impenetrable shield that stood directly between Zhang Li and the behemoth...

"boom--!"

The giant claw slammed hard into the guardian's wings.

A ring of high-pressure white mist, visible to the naked eye, burst forth from the seabed.

The terrifying recoil force shook the surrounding basalt ground, creating countless cracks and sweeping away all the volcanic debris.

Zhang Li was thrown more than 30 meters by the shockwave. After regaining his balance, he looked up.

The guards did not retreat an inch.

The geometric patterns on the wings glowed with a dazzling blue light, and not a single white mark was left on the dark gray mineral carapace...

The Ark's creations have maximized their defensive capabilities.

The behemoth clearly hadn't expected such a tough opponent to suddenly emerge from the deep sea.

It let out a silent roar, its tentacles thrashing wildly, while another giant claw attacked from the side, aiming straight for the guardian's torso...

The guard moved.

It is not good at naval warfare.

That enormous wingspan is a powerful tool for flight in the air, but it becomes a drag in the extremely dense depths of the ocean.

Its movements appeared somewhat sluggish.

But its tough body meant it didn't need to hide.

"Snap!"

The giant claws clamped tightly onto the abdomen of the guardian.

The force was enough to snap a submarine in half, but the guard remained completely still.

Defense maxed out.

The defenders counterattack.

Six abdominal limbs suddenly emerged, their hook-shaped horny claws, enhanced by blue light, piercing fiercely into the joints of the giant beast's carapace.

The eerie green compound eyes flickered, and the guardian body suddenly yanked.

A burst of dark blue blood erupted from the deep sea.

One of the giant beast's legs was torn off!

The giant beast, in pain, rolled around frantically...

Two Tier 4 behemoths engaged in a primal and brutal melee on the seabed of the Devonian period... There were no fancy skills, only a clash of absolute strength and defense...

Large areas of seabed rock collapsed, and turbid silt completely muddied the sea area within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Everyone in the live stream was stunned.

"Holy crap! Where did this giant bug come from?!"

"It's helping Zhang Li! This defensive power is outrageous!"

underwater.

The battle lasted a full five minutes.

The carapace behemoth finally realized that it couldn't bite or smash the winged monster in front of it.

Moreover, the aura of the Star Essence Liquid it had been so desperately seeking completely dissipated amidst the violent churning of the water...

Not worth the candle.

The giant beast loosened its claws, its tail snapped back, and its massive body used the recoil to quickly retreat.

It gave the guardian a deep look before disappearing into the dark depths of the sea.

The surrounding water flow gradually subsided.

The guardian floated in the water, its six wings slowly folding, and the eerie green light in its compound eyes turned into a gentle amber color.

It turned its head and looked at Zhang Li in the distance, a hint of self-satisfaction coming from its empathic channel.

Zhang Li hovered in the water, staring at the direction where the giant beast had disappeared, his eyes cold...

"You dragged me into a time rift, sent me to this godforsaken place, and now that you can't beat them, you think you can just walk away?"

He was very unhappy.

But he knew in his heart that he couldn't keep the other party now.

The guardian's speed is limited in the deep sea, making it unable to catch up with the native aquatic behemoths;

He himself was already exhausted and was struggling to even maintain his amphibious breathing.

"You're lucky to be alive."

Zhang Li withdrew his gaze and swam towards the guard.

The guard body lowered its altitude, allowing Zhang Li to land steadily on its broad carapace.

Zhang Li sat down cross-legged and immediately took out a leather bag containing Star Essence Elixir from his storage space.

Without hesitation, he tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful.

The icy blue liquid entered my stomach, as if I had swallowed a ball of burning liquid nitrogen. A violent and pure energy exploded instantly, surging through my bloodstream and throughout my body.

After receiving sufficient energy replenishment, the super body recovery skill finally transitioned from idle to full-power operation.

Extensive burns begin to itch, necrotic epidermal cells rapidly slough off, and newly formed muscle fibers intertwine and heal at a visible speed.

Zhang Li let out a long breath, and a trace of color returned to his pale face.

He patted the mineral shell beneath him.

"Let's go up."

The guard received the order.

Six enormous wings trembled simultaneously, and the geometric patterns burst forth with dazzling blue light.

Without the aid of water flow, it relied entirely on terrifying physical force to forcefully displace the terrifying water pressure of the deep sea.

"boom!"

The guardian body transformed into a blue meteor, carrying Zhang Li as it hurtled straight toward the sea.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

The surrounding water was torn apart, forming a long, white, vacuum-like water line.

The darkness of the deep sea was gradually left behind.

Above, the originally dark water began to shimmer with a faint light.

The light is getting stronger, and the water pressure is getting weaker.

Zhang Li raised his head, the deep-sea darkness faded, and his pupils adjusted to the long-lost light.
