National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

At this moment, the live stream chat room in China was already exploding with comments like boiling water.

"It's starting! It's starting, guys, type 'prestige' in the chat!"

"Today, Li Shen killed a Quetzalcoatlus! That's a ruler of the skies!"

"I have a feeling that the Dragon Kingdom will dominate the rankings again today!"

"Don't get too excited yet. I heard there's something good about the Bear Kingdom."

As the comments said, the atmosphere in the Xiong Guo live stream room was as frenzied as a vodka party.

In the image, two Slavic men, each the size of a brown bear, are standing next to a massive dinosaur carcass.

It was a Thick-nosed Dragon, over six meters long, with a thick bony nasal bridge and enormous weight, making it visually striking.

"Hurrah! This is the symbol of power!"

"Ivanov and Andrei are true warriors! They trapped this monster!"

"That kid from the Dragon Kingdom who only knows how to hide in the trees is doomed to lose! The Quetzalcoatlus may be rare, but how can its weight compare to our Thick-nosed Dragon?"

The official commentator from the Bear Kingdom excitedly pumped his fist: "This is a victory in terms of weight! Tonight's top spot belongs to the great Bear Kingdom!"

Meanwhile, deep in the jungle, in a semi-subterranean hideout.

By the dim moonlight, Roland was treating the gunshot wound on his left arm with a red-hot dagger.

"Sizzle—"

This tough guy from the US had veins bulging on his forehead, but he didn't utter a single sound.

Only those eyes burned with a hatred that seemed capable of incinerating the entire jungle.

"Zhang Li..."

He was panting heavily, looking at the berries beside him and a skinny little raptor.

"I will repay you tenfold, a hundredfold, for this shot..."

……

Dragon Kingdom Broadcasting Hall.

The atmosphere was equally tense.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here lies the biggest point of contention."

He Jiong frowned slightly. "The Thick-nosed Dragon that the Bear Kingdom hunted was conservatively estimated to weigh over two tons. While the Quetzalcoatlus had a terrifying wingspan, its skeleton was hollow for flight, so its actual weight was probably only 200 to 250 kilograms."

"Will this tenfold weight difference affect the final score?"

The camera panned to the experts' section.

Academician Ma adjusted his glasses and pondered for a moment: "This involves the judgment logic of the 'system'."

"From a biological perspective, Pachyrhinosaurus was indeed a heavy tank. But Quetzalcoatlus was the ruler of the skies in the Late Cretaceous, and its hunting difficulty was far greater than that of Pachyrhinosaurus."

Professor Li chimed in, "That's right. And our analysis team believes that the system cannot be judged solely on its quality."

Professor Wang added, "The daily ranking reward mechanism may be more profound than we imagine. The current material manifestation is just the surface; if one can consistently dominate the rankings, it might trigger some kind of national-level 'attribute bonus'."

……

Inside the cave.

Zhang Li sat cross-legged by the campfire, his consciousness immersed in the space as he made a final inventory.

Regarding weaponry:

T800 grade carbon fiber composite crossbow

Desert Eagle (only 3 bullets left)

Military dagger, M9 bayonet

The captured samurai sword

Regarding meat consumption:

Quetzalcoatlus carcass

Brutosaurus carcass

Devil Frog Jerky, Xiao Snake Jerky

Microraptor, Oviraptor

Multituberculate

Others include:

Sulfur, refined salt, five homemade earthenware jars, hemostatic bandages, compressed biscuits, purified water, charcoal, pyrite...

The supplies were quite plentiful...

He looked at the Quetzalcoatlus and the Pteranodon, lost in thought.

Which one should be sacrificed?

"The 'Pangcephalus' has a lot of meat; once it materializes, it's enough for foodies in China to have several hot pot meals. As for the Quetzalcoatlus... that thing is all skin and bones; the taste is probably similar to an old hen, but it's rare."

Just then, a rustling sound rang out.

Huang Xiaoying's eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes with difficulty.

The weakness that followed the high fever left her feeling somewhat dazed. She stared blankly at the flickering firelight around her, as her memories gradually returned.

Carrying on one's back, running, the warmth of a body...

She sat up abruptly, nearly falling into the fire.

Seeing Zhang Li staring blankly at the campfire, his profile looked somewhat "melancholy" in the firelight.

Huang Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh no, it's almost time for the sacrifice!"

She glanced at the cave floor instinctively; apart from a few earthenware pots, there was nothing there.

In her mind, Zhang Li had been carrying her around all afternoon and had no time to go hunting!

A wave of guilt instantly overwhelmed her.

"I'm the one who dragged him down..."

Huang Xiaoying bit her lip, her eyes slightly red.

If they hadn't saved themselves, they would have already returned with a full load of loot.

Now, both of them are going hungry, and they might even bring shame to the country because of their bottom ranking.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to stand up, and walked to Zhang Li's side.

"It's alright, Zhang Li."

Huang Xiaoying's voice was filled with determination.

"I'm almost fully recovered. Although I didn't achieve anything today, as long as I'm alive, there's hope."

"Tomorrow! We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning! We're sure we'll be able to hunt some food!"

"One failure is nothing; we Chinese people will never admit defeat!"

The impassioned pre-battle mobilization speech completely baffled the viewers in the live stream.

"???"

"Team Leader Huang, are you delirious from the fever?"

"Is this the legendary 'Begging at Versailles'?"

"That's hilarious! Team Leader Huang thought Li Shen was worried about not having enough to eat, but actually Li Shen was worried about which dinosaur to eat tonight!"

Li Shen: Sister, you know nothing of my wealth.

He Jiong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Ahem, it seems that Captain Huang Xiaoying really missed some exciting moments. The information gap is... quite large."

Inside the cave.

Zhang Li slowly turned his head and looked at Huang Xiaoying, who had a look of resignation to her fate.

His eyes became extremely strange.

"you……"

Zhang Li opened his mouth, his inner monologue practically overflowing with complaints:

*Hey lady, which eye of yours saw that I didn't get anything?*

"Alright, stop wallowing in self-pity."

Zhang Li rolled his eyes and pointed to the empty space next to him. "Sit down quickly, or I won't be responsible for stitching up your wound if it reopens."

Huang Xiaoying was taken aback and said urgently, "But the sacrifice is about to take place..."

"I know."

A sly glint flashed in Zhang Li's eyes. "Since you're so eager to contribute to the country, then this glorious task will be entrusted to you."

"What?" Huang Xiaoying didn't react.

Zhang Li waved his hand.

"Bang--!!!"

A huge dinosaur carcass appeared out of nowhere in front of Huang Xiaoying.

That's a bald dinosaur!

Huang Xiaoying stared wide-eyed, pointing at the enormous object on the ground, then at Zhang Li, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"This...this..."

"This is a sacrificial offering for you."

Zhang Li said calmly, "Hurry up, there are only thirty seconds left, don't dawdle."

"Give...to me?"

Huang Xiaoying's mind went blank.

He just gave it to me so casually?

"And what about you?" Huang Xiaoying asked instinctively. "If you give this to me, what will you do with yourself?"

She didn't want to steal the honor that belonged to Zhang Li.

"Enough with the nonsense. This is rations for our fellow countrymen! Hurry up and offer it as a sacrifice!"

"I have something better."

After saying that, he silently chanted in his mind, "System, sacrifice the Quetzalcoatl!"

At the same time, Huang Xiaoying instinctively placed her hand on the swollen-headed dragon: "Sacrifice!"

[The donation of supplies has ended!]

[Initiating global rankings...]

After a few seconds of silence, the voice of the Blue Star's will once again resounded in the minds of everyone around the world.

[Rankings of Day 3 Material Sacrifice Announced!]

[First Place: Zhang Li from China!]

[Sacrifice Item: Quetzalcoatlus (Adult)!]

[Second Place: Ivanov from the Bear Country!]

[Sacrificial offering: Pachyrhinosaurus (adult)!]

[Third Place: Huang Xiaoying from China!]

[Sacrificial offering: Adult Panthera!]

……

Then, the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room went completely crazy!

"Holy crap!!! We're in first and third place!"

"A double kill! This is a blatant double kill!"

"Where's that commentator from the Bear Kingdom? Come out here! Isn't it said that tonnage determines everything? Compared to the Quetzalcoatlus, the Pachyrhinosaurus is just a little brother!"

"That teamwork was absolutely incredible! Li Shen not only got first place himself, but he also single-handedly carried Team Yellow to third! Is this what a carry player is like? I love it!"

"I've already captured the shocked expression on Team Yellow's face; it's so cute, hahaha!"

However, the system's voice did not stop.

Immediately afterwards, an announcement emitting a dark red glow sent a chill down the spines of everyone around the world.

To improve the survival rate of Dinosaur World contestants, a short message service will now be available every seven days.

Each country can send a message and coordinates to its athletes to facilitate their gathering!

Please send your information and coordinates before 5 AM!
