Chapter 65: An opponent like a god is nothing to fear; a teammate like a pig is fatal!

The Alamosaurus herd spent their days in a continuous cycle of migration and foraging. Their appetites were staggering; a small family group consisting of just over a dozen Alamosaurus was enough to strip a forest bare within a single day.

"Today's dinner, I choose you."

Looking at the Alamosaurus herd, which was vastly larger than himself, Chu Xu felt a surge of eagerness.

Since even hunting Tyrannosaurus rex had lost its challenge for him, the only creatures on land that could still pique his interest slightly were the Alamosaurus.

And not the juveniles, but the adult Alamosaurus, which reached lengths of twenty-five meters and weighed over thirty tons!

"Roar!!"

A deafening roar echoed across the tranquil grassland. Any herbivorous dinosaur hearing this signature Tyrannosaurus call would instinctively recall the terror of being dominated by the tyrant lizards of their ancestors, fleeing in blind panic.

Yet this leisurely strolling herd of Alamosaurus remained entirely indifferent, continuing to graze on their own. In the genes passed down through generations of their ancestors, the DNA for fearing carnivorous dinosaurs seemed simply nonexistent.

"Very well, I just love your rebellious spirit."

Chu Xu nodded in satisfaction. Instead of launching a direct attack, he walked forward step by step with an overbearing swagger.

"Squeak, squeak~~"

A small Albian-aged mammal, which had just poked its head out upon noticing the cessation of external movement, hurriedly scrambled back into its underground burrow at this sight.

It feared the coming storm would only grow more violent!

"Hnng~~"

Seeing Chu Xu approach step by step, the Alamosaurus herd grew slightly wary. The adult Alamosaurus hurriedly formed a protective circle around the very last surviving baby of their group.

Large sauropods like the Alamosaurus enjoyed lifespans far exceeding those of short-lived creatures like the Tyrannosaurus rex, capable of living up to eighty to a hundred years.

However, very few Alamosaurus lived to die of old age, and even fewer survived to adulthood. Each clutch contained at most five to six eggs, yet the survival rate to adulthood was less than one in a thousand.

The reasons went beyond predation by carnivorous dinosaurs; even some large herbivores would deliberately bully and kill weaker infants to eliminate future food competition.

Consequently, the Alamosaurus herd placed immense value on the protection of their young. Any enemy daring to pose a threat would face a joint assault from these lumbering giants.

"Hnng!!"

Several adult Alamosaurus braced their hind legs and tails against the ground, lifting their forelimbs high and rearing up like men to issue a warning cry at Chu Xu. Their massive shadows fell across the ground, making even an adult Tyrannosaurus rex look diminutive by comparison.

This was the classic defensive posture of large sauropods, relying entirely on their immense and crushing physique.

If any foolish carnivorous dinosaur dared to attack, they would mercilessly trample it with their forelimbs. A tonnage of several tens to nearly a hundred tons crashing down was enough to flatten any enemy into a meat pie.

"Roar~~"

Faced with the warnings of the Alamosaurus, Chu Xu "wisely" turned and walked away. Only when he had retreated to a distance did the Alamosaurus ease their tension, lowering their forelimbs and once again stretching their long necks to feed on the tender leaves and branches of the tall trees.

Little did they expect that the moment the Alamosaurus let down their guard, Chu Xu wheeled around. With startling suddenness, he erupted into incredible speed, instantly crossing a distance of over a hundred meters to close in on the herd once more.

The sluggishly reacting Alamosaurus were utterly unable to respond in time.

"Bang!!"

With a powerful push from his hind legs that shattered the ground beneath him, Chu Xu's six-ton reptilian frame vaulted forward with astonishing agility and nimbleness, lunging straight at the nearest adult Alamosaurus!

Hooking his forelimb claws into the Alamosaurus's spine and planting his hind claws firmly against its lower belly, Chu Xu whipped his thick, long tail to generate momentum and surged forward once more. With a fluid and practiced sequence of movements, he hoisted his entire body squarely onto the Alamosaurus's back.

Such a signature dromaeosaurid leaping maneuver was completely impossible for an adult Tyrannosaurus rex, yet it remained child's play for Chu Xu.

A pounce of such heavyweight proportions was more than the Alamosaurus could handle. Its limbs buckled, its body listing sideways like a collapsing building, and with a thunderous crash, it slammed into the earth as a thick plume of dust billowed into the sky.

"Hnng!!"

Seeing this, the remaining Alamosaurus were struck with panic. Acting in solidarity, they rushed forward to offer aid to their fallen companion.

Crack!!

At that moment, Chu Xu—having pinned the Alamosaurus—ignored its body-armor-like dermal plates. Empowered by fluid weaponization that amplified his bite force, he slammed his gaping jaws shut, sinking his teeth deep into the Alamosaurus's neck!

The Alamosaurus's neck was exceptionally thick, far larger than a Tyrannosaurus's entire head. Therefore, Chu Xu did not attempt to bite completely through the neck in one go; instead, he used his weaponized banana-shaped teeth to pierce the flesh and muscle, snapping the joints of the cervical vertebrae in a single twist.

"Hnng~~~!!"

Following that single bite, the Alamosaurus's neck lost all flexible movement, collapsing onto the ground like a dead snake. From that moment on, only a single destiny awaited it.

"Hnng!!"

Finally, the other Alamosaurus arrived. United in shared outrage, they abruptly raised their forelimbs and brought them crashing down upon Chu Xu in a bone-crushing, Mount Tai-style stomp!

Daring not to meet the blow head-on, Chu Xu leaped away with fluid precision, narrowly escaping the herd's fatal trampling.

"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"

The violent descent of tens of tons of weight stirred up billowing clouds of dust and made the very earth groan in agony.

"Hnng~~"

Even more wretched cries of agony mingled with the thudding of the Alamosaurus's feet. For no other reason than this: since Chu Xu had made his escape, the Alamosaurus were inadvertently trampling the body of their own companion!

When the dust finally cleared, the downed Alamosaurus could be seen beaten into a bloody, unrecognizable pulp by its companions, hovering on the brink of death.

Its bones and internal organs had clearly suffered catastrophic damage, and torrents of fresh blood continued to gush out, rapidly pooling into a horrifying lake of red.

Witnessing this scene, Chu Xu could not help but click his tongue in amazement. Originally, killing this Alamosaurus would have required some effort on his part, yet its own teammates had actually delivered an assist?

What was this called?

This was the classic case of not fearing a god-like opponent, but dreading pig-headed teammates.

These Alamosaurus possessed colossal physiques, but brains no larger than tennis balls and lamentable intelligence. This was surely not the first time they had sabotaged their own and assisted an enemy.

"Hnng!!"

Having mistakenly injured their teammate, the Alamosaurus once again raised their voices in unison, emitting a mournful wail filled with poignant sorrow, reminiscent of a cuckoo crying blood.

Immediately afterward, they unanimously pivoted their hostility toward Chu Xu, charging forward in a thunderous rush, brimming with the murderous intent to avenge their fallen comrade!
