National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

"Don't just stand there! Put the corpse into your spatial storage! Quickly!"

Zhang Li's low growl exploded in their ears.

Although Wang Qiang and Li Yue's brains were still in a state of malfunction, their bodies still started moving.

The moment the palm touched it, the enormous corpse vanished into thin air.

"Keep up with me! Don't fall behind!"

Zhang Li turned and rushed towards the denser bushes on his flank.

The moment I turned around, a wild beast roared from the depths of the dense forest behind me.

"roar--!!!"

Wang Qiang's face turned deathly pale. This sense of oppression was even more terrifying than facing a hail of bullets.

……

The atmosphere in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room plummeted to freezing point.

Academician Ma stared intently at the screen, his voice hoarse: "That's... a Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"Although Tyrannosaurus Rex is so famous, it is the absolute ruler of the Tyrannosauridae family in Asia! Its fighting power is second only to top predators like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Giganotosaurus!"

"What's most terrifying is its sense of smell and stamina; once it locks onto its prey, it will fight to the death!"

The live chat exploded instantly.

"Oh no! A cousin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"I don't care whether Carcharodontosaurids or Tyrannosaurids are stronger; I only care if Li Shen survives!"

"Stop arguing! Look at the screen! We're only 300 meters away!"

……

In the jungle, three figures were running for their lives.

Zhang Li took the lead, his dagger constantly slicing through the vines blocking his path.

The enhanced physical fitness, honed through systematic training, was on full display at this moment.

Wang Qiang followed closely behind.

The veteran gritted his teeth, sweat streaming into his eyes, making them incredibly dry...

But he remained silent, clinging tightly to Zhang Li's back with unwavering willpower.

Li Yue was the last one to fall behind.

Although she is a national-level athlete with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, this is not a flat basketball court, but a primeval jungle.

Be wary of the tangled roots at every step...

"Huff... huff..."

Li Yue's legs felt as heavy as lead.

Two hundred meters...

A dead tree, as thick as a bowl, was violently snapped in two, and the terrifying black shadow was now faintly visible.

Zhang Li suddenly stopped and looked back.

The distance is closing, and if that's the case... total annihilation is the only outcome.

Zhang Li's eyes were incredibly calm as he pointed to a fork in the road on the right.

"You two, head in that direction! You'll see a hidden cave about a kilometer away. That's our campsite. Huang Xiaoying will be waiting for us inside!"

"I'll distract that big guy!"

Li Yue, supporting herself on her knees, her eyes filled with disbelief and struggle, said, "You...you go by yourself? No! We'll go together! We can't leave you behind..."

"Shut up!"

Zhang Li frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"Indecisiveness will only ruin everyone."

His voice was as cold as ice: "In your current state, staying here will only cause me trouble."

Li Yue was stunned by the scolding, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Wang Qiang understood Zhang Li's look and grabbed Li Yue, pulling her away.

"Let's go! Don't let Zhang Li hold us back!"

Li Yue was dragged away, staggering, and glanced back.

"Zhang Li..."

……

Zhang Li turned around, facing the direction from which the Tyrannosaurus Rex was charging, and a crazy smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Now that we have no more worries, let's have some fun.

[Skill: Pheromones Release - Activated!]

[Simulated Object: Utahraptor (Extremely Hungry/Provoked State)]

[Frequency: Maximum!]

That was a provocation from another kind of predator.

"Roar—!!!"

The roars from deep within the jungle were filled with savagery and fury.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex, which was still trying to figure out where its prey was going, was suddenly alerted by the scent and instantly locked onto Zhang Li's location!

"Come on, big guy!"

Zhang Li sneered and started running quickly.

But instead of choosing open ground, he darted like a nimble ape, specifically into the densest wooded areas.

boom!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex behind them looked like a heavy bulldozer.

Splinters of wood flew everywhere, and dirt splattered in all directions.

But in the primeval jungle, their massive bodies became a burden.

Each impact would slightly reduce its speed, while Zhang Li used his agility to repeatedly leap between the tree trunks, always maintaining a safe distance.

……

Inside the studio.

Xiao Sa's voice trembled: "That was too close! Coach Xu, Academician Ma, contestant Zhang Li... could they escape?"

Xu Zhiping pushed up his glasses, his gaze sharp: "Zhang Li is very clever! He's taking advantage of the terrain difference."

"While Tarbosaurus has a high straight-line speed, its turning ability and agility are far inferior to those of humans in such complex terrain!"

Academician Ma, however, was not so optimistic, his expression grave: "But this is playing with fire. The Tyrannosaurus Rex has astonishing stamina, and its temper is notoriously volatile. If Zhang Li makes even a single mistake, or runs out of energy..."

"They'll die a gruesome death!"

The live chat was flooded with comments.

"Is Li Shen's stamina limitless? He's already run five kilometers!"

"Stop nursing! There seems to be no road ahead!"

"Why is this Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing me so relentlessly, like a mad dog?"

……

In the jungle.

Zhang Li slid in to avoid the sweeping log.

Although he appeared to be handling it with ease, fine beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

Within the perception of the all-knowing eye.

That beast is getting closer and closer.

"Is this never going to end?"

Zhang Li drew the Desert Eagle with a backhand motion.

Click!

Loading.

Although there were only two bullets left in the gun, which was far from enough to kill the behemoth, the sound and impact of the gun were enough to make it hesitate for a moment.

This is enough.

"Wang Qiang and the others should be safe now."

"Next, it's time to find you a new opponent."

Zhang Li adjusted his breathing, and the direction he was facing subtly changed.

That's the direction of the salt lake!

Inside the studio, Xiao Sa exclaimed, "Zhang Li has changed direction! Is he going to the salt lake?"

"My God, has he gone mad? That's open ground! How can humans outrun dinosaurs on the plains?"

Xu Zhiping's eyes suddenly lit up: "No! It's a matter of survival against all odds!"

Academician Ma instantly realized what was happening and gasped, "He's trying to shift the blame?!"

"Mamenchisaurus!"

Xiao Sa was taken aback: "Mamenchisaurus was a herbivorous dinosaur! Could it have stopped a top predator like Tarbosaurus?"

Academician Ma adjusted his glasses, his tone serious: "Xiao Sa, remember this. In the prehistoric world, the strongest were never the carnivores, but those ridiculously large giant sauropod dinosaurs!"

Even a Tyrannosaurus Rex would give a wide berth when it saw a fully grown Mamenchisaurus!

"Their size difference is like that between a spotted hyena and an elephant on the African savanna!"

"If Zhang Li can lure the Tyrannosaurus Rex into the Mamenchisaurus's attack range... this game is over!"

……

"You want an elephant to trample a hyena to death...?"

Zhang Li ran as fast as he could, calculating the distance as he went.

Two kilometers to go.

Based on his current energy expenditure, he has enough stamina to reach the edge of the salt lake.

Once it enters the territory of the Mamenchisaurus, this Tyrannosaurus will never dare to make a move.

However, just as he was about to rush out of the dense forest...

Suddenly, a new notification popped up in the All-Knowing Eye.

[Warning! 280 meters ahead at the 11 o'clock position.]

Human: Status: Alert/Cautious

Humanity?

In this godforsaken place, who else could it be but Wang Qiang and his group?

The field of vision is narrowed.

It was a short figure wearing a ghillie suit, cautiously observing its surroundings.

Look at that sleazy, stealthy posture, and that iconic colonel's mustache...

A player from the country of Sakura?

"They're probably heading to the assembly point of the Seventeen Nations Alliance!"

A cruel smile curled at the corners of Zhang Li's mouth.

"Since we've run into each other, don't blame me for being impolite."

Without any hesitation, Zhang Li made a sharp turn on the route that was originally heading straight for the salt lake.

He pushed off with his feet, and carrying the raging Tyrannosaurus Rex behind him, he charged straight toward the Japanese player!

"Sakura, I'll borrow your life for a moment!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Li fired an arrow and attached the [Pheromone Release] skill to the arrowhead.

After doing all this, Zhang Li didn't linger.

[Optical adaptive camouflage: Activated!]

They continued to flee in another direction!
