Chapter 42: Upgrading a Bicycle to a Motorcycle! Territory Ownership Transferred!

This half-grown Tyrannosaurus Rex was, naturally, Chu Xu.

Mother T-Rex had originally settled him, Longyue, and Luxing in a safe location, telling them not to wander around. However, Chu Xu was still somewhat worried, so he had sneaked out to check on Mother T-Rex's situation.

From far away, Chu Xu heard the tremendous commotion of Mother T-Rex battling her opponent, a spectacle that could truly be described as earth-shattering.

"It looks like Mother T-Rex still has the upper hand, but the opponent's attacks are also desperate. The battle won't end anytime soon."

Chu Xu did not rush in blindly. Instead, he observed the battlefield for a moment using his telepathic perception and assessed the situation.

This was not the first time Chu Xu had witnessed a fight between two adult Tyrannosaurus Rexes. The last time he saw one was between Father T-Rex and that one-eyed T-Rex. Back then, he was still weak and didn't dare to get involved.

But times had changed. Chu Xu was no longer the novice he used to be. Not only had his size more than doubled, but he had also mastered intermediate skills, multiplying his combat power exponentially!

While it was still impossible for him to go toe-to-toe with an adult T-Rex head-on, playing a supporting role with Mother T-Rex as the main attacker was entirely feasible.

Take a gamble, and a bicycle becomes a motorcycle!

"Swish!"

Chu Xu quietly slipped around to the rear of the juvenile T-Rex, launched a fierce surprise attack while she was off guard, and leaped onto her back!

This back-jumping pouncing tactic was the signature move of dromaeosaurid carnivorous dinosaurs, which Chu Xu had learned from Acheroraptor and Dakotaraptor.

Never underestimate the power of this move; Acheroraptor and Dakotaraptor relied on it to hunt numerous herbivorous dinosaurs far larger than themselves.

Even a Tyrannosaurus Rex had no good countermeasure against this tactic. After all, their heads could not twist 180 degrees to bite an enemy on their back. Their pathetic little arms and thick, rigid tails were even more useless, leaving them with no choice but to rely on the twisting power of their bodies to shake the enemy off.

"Roar!"

The juvenile T-Rex, who had been completely focused on fighting Mother T-Rex, was caught completely off guard when she felt something heavy land on her back. She hurriedly twisted her body, trying to shake the intruder off.

"Squelch!"

However, Chu Xu's pair of forelimbs, coated in fluid armor and sharp talons, had already driven deep into the juvenile T-Rex's flesh like nails, anchoring his body firmly in place.

No matter how violently the juvenile T-Rex thrashed her body, she could not shake Chu Xu off her back, only wasting a lot of energy in vain.

"Roar!"

On the other side, Mother T-Rex was also taken aback when she saw Chu Xu suddenly appear.

Yet, Chu Xu had now bought her a rare opportunity. A fierce glint flashed in Mother T-Rex's eyes, and she attacked without hesitation.

Closing the distance in three strides, she clamped her massive, fanged jaws fiercely around the juvenile T-Rex's neck and used the strength of her neck to violently drag the body.

Feeling the terrifying bite force on her neck, the juvenile T-Rex felt as though her cervical vertebrae were about to snap. She struggled with all her might, barely managing to escape from Mother T-Rex's fatal jaws.

Visible for all to see, two rows of deep, bone-showing tooth marks had been left on her neck. The flesh and skin had even been torn away by the serrations lining the edges of Mother T-Rex's banana-shaped teeth during the struggle, leaving her dripping with blood in a shocking and terrifying sight.

This single strike had dealt a heavy blow to the juvenile T-Rex, and it would likely take a long time to recover.

At this point, she no longer dared to tangle with Mother T-Rex. While there are green hills left, one need not worry about firewood; if the territory was lost, she could just find another, but losing her life meant losing everything.

The juvenile T-Rex turned to run, but she had forgotten that there was still a little silver coin clinging to her back.

"Want to run?"

Chu Xu saw through the juvenile T-Rex's intention to flee. Maintaining his grip with his forelimb talons, he swung his much thicker and heavier hindlimb claws high up and back. The surfaces instantly surged with fluid armor and raging flames.

This technique was none other than the Diable Jambe!

"Rip!"

Chu Xu delivered a fierce kick to the juvenile T-Rex's hind thigh. The dozen-centimeter-long claws pierced into her rough skin like daggers, while the attached high temperature made deep contact with her muscles like glowing iron blocks, producing a sizzling burning sound accompanied by wisps of white smoke!

"Roar!"

This excruciating pain was too much even for the juvenile T-Rex to bear. She let out a cry of agony, her massive running body coming to an abrupt halt as she crashed heavily to the ground.

As the juvenile T-Rex was about to fall, Chu Xu promptly released his foreclaws and jumped off her body. Otherwise, it would have been disastrous to be crushed under her; her seven-ton weight was no joke.

And once she fell, it was practically a death sentence.

Mother T-Rex had no intention of letting this juvenile T-Rex go easily either. If she allowed her to escape, the opponent might return for revenge in the future and take out her anger on her children.

However, if the opponent was determined to flee, it would be difficult for her to kill her outright.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xu gave her a huge surprise by knocking the juvenile T-Rex to the ground in one fell swoop. Seizing the opportunity, Mother T-Rex once again clamped her jaws around her neck, her upper and lower jaws locking tightly together like a pair of pliers, the explosive bite force reaching a terrifying extreme!

This time, the juvenile T-Rex was utterly powerless to escape Mother T-Rex's fatal stranglehold. Her carotid artery was bitten clean through on the spot, blood gushing out like a waterfall. Within moments, she was exhaling more than she inhaled, collapsing limply to the ground as her life slowly faded away.

She was dead.

[Ding! You participated in hunting a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Evolution points +100.]

A full 100 evolution points!

As expected of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a mere assist alone was worth a triple-digit number of evolution points. This was by far the largest single harvest Chu Xu had ever obtained from a hunt!

Looking at the mountain-like carcass of the juvenile T-Rex, Chu Xu's emotions surged turbulent waves.

Along with the exhilaration of hunting a formidable enemy, there was also a special warning:

Even something as powerful as a Tyrannosaurus Rex was not invincible; there were still even stronger peers out there capable of threatening their lives!

With the population of Tyrannosaurus Rexes so large and regional resources extremely limited, frequent conflicts were inevitable. Fossil evidence from later eras also proved that cases of cannibalism among them frequently occurred.

"Roar——!!"

Having slain the juvenile T-Rex, Mother T-Rex was likewise filled with high spirits. She lifted her massive head high and let out a resounding roar.

The deep and grandiose roar was like a clap of thunder on a flat plain, carrying immense penetrating power that swept across a radius of several kilometers and echoed for a long time.

The meaning contained within this roar went without saying—it was a declaration to all the animals within the territory:

This domain had a new master!

However, although the battle was a resounding victory, Mother T-Rex had also sustained not inconsiderable injuries. Her body bore numerous wounds from the juvenile T-Rex's bites and claws, bleeding freely. Her injuries were even more severe than when she faced the family of Dakotaraptors; while not fatal, her mobility was more or less affected.
