National Survival: I Supported the Dragon Nation by Hunting Dinosaurs

At that moment, the heartbeats of billions of people seemed to be synchronized with the cold, mechanical countdown.

The list started scrolling wildly.

......

[254th Place: Japan's contestant, Shibi-zai. Contribution: Prehistoric Electric Ray (Decomposed) x1]

[6rd: Li Yue, contestant from China. Contribution: Prehistoric lungfish (live, 1 jin) x1]

[6nd Place: Huang Xiaoying from China. Contribution: Prehistoric Lungfish (live, 2 jin) x1]

……

In the live stream room of Japan, the viewers were devastated.

"Baka! Why?! That's an electric ray! A ferocious fish that can generate electricity, why is it ranked after that ugly lungfish?!"

"This is a conspiracy! The system is discriminating against our great Sakura Empire!"

"Si Bizi Zhijun did his best; he risked his life to go to the riverbank to retrieve that fish!"

However, the mockery from Chinese netizens, though late, arrived late and was scathing in every word.

"Find it? You know it was found? That electric ray has been drying on the riverbank for five days. Only you contestants would treat it like a treasure."

"Hilarious! Didn't you see the system notification? 'Rotting status'! Are you planning to feed the nation canned herring as a side dish?"

Inside the studio, Academician Ma maintained the rigor expected of a scholar.

"Ignorance. The prehistoric lungfish, as a key species in the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life, has immeasurable living genetic value."

Not only is its meat delicious, but its unique respiratory system is also considered a living fossil for paleontological research.

The rankings didn't stop rolling because of the arguments; in fact, they accelerated.

......

[Third Place: Wang Qiang, from the Dragon Kingdom. Contribution: Resembling a Garuda (complete corpse) x1!]

The audience in China was overjoyed, but also felt a slight pressure.

Zhang Li's name has not yet appeared.

This means that someone has interfered in the competition for the top two spots.

Could it be that persistent Roland?

"Impossible. Roland lost a hand to Li Shen; it's impossible for him to recover so quickly."

Xu Zhiping quickly analyzed.

Just then, the second-place winner's golden light shone.

[Second Place: Ivan Novsky, from the Bear Kingdom. Contribution: Stygimoloch (Adult) x1!]

"Hurrah!!"

The live stream room in Xiong Guo instantly went wild, with vodka emojis flooding the screen.

"The strength of a bear is limitless!"

"Let those monkeys who only know how to hide in the trees see what a real fighting nation is!"

Looking at the dinosaur on the screen with its head swollen like an iron hammer, Xiao Sa couldn't help but gasp: "Styxosaurus? Just hearing that name sends chills down my spine."

"This is indeed a tricky situation," Academician Ma said gravely.

"The Styxosaurus belongs to the Pachycephalosauridae family. Its skull can be up to 25 centimeters thick, making it a natural battering ram. Even ferocious beasts like lions and tigers would suffer broken bones and ligaments from a single blow."

"It is very difficult to hunt this kind of creature without taking damage when fighting alone."

As Academician Ma finished speaking, everyone realized one thing—

The players from the Xiong Kingdom have started to band together.

This Styx dragon was definitely not killed by one person alone.

The pressure was put on the Dragon Kingdom.

All eyes were fixed on that highest position.

[First Place: Zhang Li, from China. Contribution: Triceratops (subadult) x1!]

Needless to say.

The entire Dragon Kingdom live stream room was instantly covered by bright red national flag bullet comments.

"Erect a god! An eternal god!"

"I'll just ask you one question: who else?!"

……

Inside the cave, the firelight flickered.

Zhang Li looked at the rankings, but there wasn't much joy on his face.

"The Styx Dragon..." he murmured to himself.

Although the Triceratops scored higher than the Stygimoloch, he knew very well that this was the result of him using the Mamenchisaurus to "kill with a borrowed knife".

The fact that Novsky of the Bear Kingdom was able to defeat that stubborn monster shows that they had gathered at least three elites who worked together seamlessly.

"The consequences of activating the coordinate system are beginning to appear."

Zhang Li looked out into the dark jungle.

Humans are social animals.

The power of teams is growing exponentially in this world.

Hunting efficiency will increase, and the survival margin for error will improve.

More importantly... the cost of murder and robbery will decrease.

"A seventeen-nation alliance led by the United States..." A cold glint flashed in Zhang Li's eyes.

"I don't have much time left."

Meanwhile, at a cave 25 kilometers away.

Roland stared at the words "Triceratops," his eye muscles twitching wildly.

"Triceratops...how did he do that?"

Jason's arrogance subsided considerably: "Is this kid a monster? Even if I had a gun, I'd have to go around a Triceratops."

Roland took a deep breath, his killing intent intensifying...

"The stronger he is, the more likely he is to die."

……

Cave campsite.

Zhang Li snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his three teammates beside him.

Although the group was in high spirits, the fatigue in their eyes was undeniable.

"What's the plan for tonight?" Wang Qiang asked, wiping his military knife. "Li Yue and I will take turns on night watch."

"Need not."

Huang Xiaoying stood up, her eyes unusually firm.

"You three main players were too exhausted today, especially Zhang Li."

"Whether it's luring away a Tarbosaurus or hunting a Triceratops, you're dancing on a knife's edge."

"I basically rest during the day, so I have plenty of energy."

Huang Xiaoying patted the composite crossbow in her hand.

"I'm on duty tonight. The terrain here is well-hidden; I can hold the line."

Li Yue was a little worried: "But Xiaoying, your injury..."

"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious."

Huang Xiaoying interrupted her, "Since we're a team, don't treat me like a burden."

Zhang Li nodded in agreement.

In this cruel world, being pretentious is the most useless thing.

The key to survival is to allocate your physical energy wisely.

The fire gradually died down, leaving only the dark red embers providing warmth.

Zhang Li leaned against the rock wall and closed his eyes.

This was the most restful night's sleep he had had since entering the dinosaur world.

Because I have comrades-in-arms whom I can entrust my back to.

……

Cherry Blossom Country, Cherry Blossom Square.

Tens of thousands of people gathered here, their hunger keeping them awake.

They gazed longingly at the sky, anticipating the so-called "gift from God."

"No matter what, it's still a fish!"

"I want to eat sashimi! I've almost forgotten what fish tastes like!"

"Thank you, Sibizi Zhijun! He's a hero of the cherry blossom garden!"

Suddenly, a violent spatial fluctuation came from the sky.

Countless rays of light fell.

"They're here! They're here!"

The crowd cheered and some even brought out their treasured soy sauce.

however.

An indescribable stench instantly filled the square!

"vomit--!!!"

The crowd, which had been cheering, began to gag in waves.

On the ground, a thousand prehistoric electric rays, already highly decomposed, appeared.

"Baka! What is this?!"

"How can you eat this? It'll kill you!"

A starving homeless man tried to rush up and grab a piece of meat, but as soon as he got close, he foamed at the mouth and passed out.

"You bastard! Why would you sacrifice something like this?!"

"Is this your gift to us? It's a curse!"

All the expectations of the people of Japan turned into overwhelming anger...

On the other side of the sea.

Dragon Kingdom, Henan Province, Central Plains Square.

A massive convoy of transport vehicles was already on high alert.

As a burst of golden light fell from the sky,

A thousand enormous prehistoric lungfish, along with a mountain of Triceratops and a Garuda-like bird-like creature, were neatly arranged in the square.

"Alive! It really is alive!"

"Thank you, Li Shen! Thank you, Qiang Ge! Thank you, both goddesses!"
