Another month passed, and Li Zhen soon received his new Mission.
【Mission: Protect the Lizardmen. Mission Difficulty Level: Level 3】
When Li Zhen awoke, he was astonished to discover that he had actually become a Lizardman. Around two meters tall, his Entire Body covered in dark green Scales, even his pupils were the vertical pupils of a Cold-blooded Animal.
Do not ask how he knew that his own pupils were vertical too, because there were dozens of others like him nearby.
His fellow Lizardmen were about as tall as he was, though a few female Lizardmen were somewhat shorter.
All the Lizardmen had only their vital areas partially covered; every other part was exposed, covered in Scales.
What surprised him was that the Lizardmen communicated with one another not through language, but through Telepathy.
But none of this was what surprised Li Zhen the most.
What surprised Li Zhen the most was that he saw dinosaurs!
A Lizardman holding a spear was riding a Triceratops, looking incomparably imposing.
After observing for a moment, he discovered that there were at least three Lizardmen riding Triceratops around him. Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be standing guard.
“The age of dinosaurs?”
“A Lizardman tribe?”
Li Zhen looked at the trees and grass in the Surroundings. Everything was clearly much larger than usual—even a dragonfly flying past was nearly one meter long.
At that moment, several shadows swept across the sky. He looked up and was astonished to see that they were Pterosaurs.
Good grief.
He had truly arrived in the age of dinosaurs.
Before Li Zhen could figure out which dinosaur period this was, or why there was a Lizardman tribe here, the earth began to shake. Several Huge Tyrannosaurus Rex came running from the distance.
Tyrannosaurus Rex hunted in groups, so an entire group had come.
There were five of them.
It seemed that the five Tyrannosaurus Rex were targeting the Lizardman tribe.
When the Lizardmen spotted the attacking Tyrannosaurus Rex, they all went on alert. Their minds cried out, warning everyone to be vigilant.
All the Lizardmen gathered together, each holding a spear.
Li Zhen was also with them, protected by the Triceratops Riders—or so he would call them for now.
All the Lizardmen were protected in the center by three Triceratops Riders.
There was no way to retreat.
The battle was about to begin.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex launched the first attack.
Two Tyrannosaurus Rex charged toward one of the Triceratops.
The Triceratops Rider urged his Triceratops into a charge, but their speed was too clumsy, allowing the Tyrannosaurus Rex to evade them. The Tyrannosaurus Rex quickly swarmed forward. The Triceratops used its horns to shove the two Tyrannosaurus Rex aside, while the Lizardman riding it seized the opportunity to thrust his spear into a Tyrannosaurus Rex's eye.
One of the Tyrannosaurus Rex had an eye stabbed blind on the spot.
“Roar!”
The Tyrannosaurus Rex roared in pain. Then, disregarding its injury, it bit down on the Triceratops's neck. With a vicious jerk, blood spurted everywhere, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex easily dragged the Triceratops to the ground.
The Lizardman also fell from the Triceratops.
The Lizardman still tried to escape, but several smaller Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly sprang out nearby. After struggling to hold them off for a while, the Lizardman was torn apart by the young Tyrannosaurus Rex.
More young Tyrannosaurus Rex rushed in and began searching for targets.
The Lizardmen were no match for them at all and began dying one after another.
After using his spear to fend them off for a while, Li Zhen was ambushed by a young Tyrannosaurus Rex. It bit into his shoulder and flung him through the air, then another young Tyrannosaurus Rex bit down on his throat, instantly silencing him.
【Mission failed】
This was the first time Li Zhen had failed to complete a Mission since he began undertaking Missions.
This Mission had been far too unexpected and had come far too suddenly.
It had not given him any Time to prepare.
Earth.
Li Zhen opened his eyes on his bed.
He immediately got up from the bed and began breathing heavily.
The feeling of death had been far too real.
“A Level 3 Mission truly isn't that simple.” He touched his neck, still gripped by lingering fear.
Just as Li Zhen thought it was over, the System sent another Message.
【Mission: Protect the Lizardmen. Mission Difficulty Level: Level 3】
【Mission requirements: Protect the Lizardman tribe and help it reproduce and thrive】
【View Current Mission Image】
【Accept Mission】
【Please select the Specific Teleportation Location】
“I didn't expect the Mission to Appear so Immediately.” This surprised Li Zhen somewhat.
Moreover, the Mission was much more detailed, just like when he went to help Kaister last time.
He immediately realized that if he accepted this Mission, his real body would go there, and if he died, he would truly die.
He looked at his Panel.
【Li Zhen】
【Level: Level 3 Life Protector】
【Origin Point: 1】
Fortunately, he had an Origin Point as a safety net. Even if he encountered danger to his Life, he could consume the Origin Point and immediately return.
Furthermore, relying on his current strength, he believed that even if he faced a group of Tyrannosaurus Rex, he would still have a chance of victory.
What was there to hesitate about?
“Accept!”
Li Zhen immediately made his decision.
With his decision, Li Zhen's entire person instantly disappeared from the bed.
When he appeared again, he was already in the sky above the Lizardmen and the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
At a glance, he saw many young Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing the Lizardmen.
Some of the Lizardmen had gathered together, confronting the young Tyrannosaurus Rex with their spears.
On the other side, two Tyrannosaurus Rex were tearing apart and devouring the Triceratops they had just killed.
Three more Tyrannosaurus Rex were battling two other Triceratops. However, even with the Lizardman Riders added, the two Triceratops were no match for the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
Bang, bang, bang.
At that moment, Li Zhen's gunshots rang out.
As his bullets poured forth, all the dozen or so young Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing the Lizardmen were sent to their graves.
Boom.
He descended from the sky and sent a large Tyrannosaurus Rex flying with a single fist.
His fist already possessed astonishing power, easily reaching twenty tons. With the added boost from his speed, it had probably exceeded fifty tons.
With fifty tons of tremendous force, a single punch Shattered the Tyrannosaurus Rex's skull.
The roughly ten-ton Tyrannosaurus Rex was sent flying by Li Zhen.
Its huge body flew several meters before crashing to the ground. The earth shook, and after twitching a few times, the Tyrannosaurus Rex stopped moving.
“Die.”
Li Zhen closed in on another Tyrannosaurus Rex and struck it in the head with another punch.
His speed was incredibly fast, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex had no Time to dodge.
Crack.
The sound of breaking bones rang out, and the Huge Tyrannosaurus Rex was violently sent flying.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex charged toward Li Zhen.
Li Zhen stood where he was. When the Tyrannosaurus Rex reached him, he drove a Knee Strike into its chin. The tremendous force struck its jaw and sent the Huge Tyrannosaurus Rex flipping upside down, all four feet in the air as it flew backward.
Many of its teeth were broken as well.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex's eyes filled with blood and turned bright red.
Even after landing, it was not dead. It struggled to stand, but blood was already pouring continuously from its mouth.
It began to wail. Before long, it collapsed with a thud and fell completely still.
Li Zhen killed more than a dozen young Tyrannosaurus Rex and three adult Tyrannosaurus Rex. Although it seemed to take a long Time, it had actually taken only a few seconds.
The Lizardmen looked at the invincible Li Zhen, each of them incredibly excited as they secretly communicated through Telepathy.
They seemed Curious about who Li Zhen really was.
Li Zhen was especially likable to them because, like them, he had two legs and two arms, wore clothes, and clearly possessed intelligence.
They looked at Li Zhen as though their eyes were glowing.
Li Zhen merely glanced at them before shifting his gaze to the three remaining adult Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The three Tyrannosaurus Rex that had originally been feeding finally reacted.
They looked at Li Zhen as he slowly approached, lowered their heads, and snarled, seemingly warning him not to come any closer.
Li Zhen paid no attention. Hovering four meters above the ground, roughly level with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, he slowly approached them.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex is the largest species in the tyrannosaur family. Its body length was approximately 11.5 to 14.7 meters. Its average hip Height was about 4 meters. Its maximum hip Height could reach around 5.2 meters, while its head could reach nearly 6 meters in Height.
Its average weight was about 9 tons, with the heaviest weighing 14.85 tons. Its head could be up to approximately 1.55 meters long. Its bite force was generally 90,000 to 120,000 newtons and could reach around 200,000 newtons at the tip of its mouth. It was also the most robust of the Carnivorous Dinosaurs.
What Li Zhen found Interesting was that the Tyrannosaurus Rex before him had some hair growing on its body.
It truly looked like the ancestor of chickens.
As Li Zhen approached, the three Tyrannosaurus Rex unexpectedly turned and fled. They seemed to have learned of Li Zhen's strength from the deaths of their companions.
Would Li Zhen let them go?
Of course not.
He raised his arm, intending to Kill these three adult Tyrannosaurus Rex one by one as well.
“Can you help us catch them?”
At that moment, a Soft female voice sounded in Li Zhen's mind.
He turned his head and immediately saw a special Lizardman protected in the center by the other Lizardmen.
Unlike the green Scales and green pupils of the other Lizardmen, she had Golden Yellow Scales and Golden Yellow pupils. Her facial features were also gentler.
She seemed to possess a nobler bloodline.
“I can.”
Li Zhen nodded at her.
After speaking, he Immediately caught up with the three Tyrannosaurus Rex and knocked them to the ground with a few punches, leaving them unable to get up for the Time being.
One Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly grew fierce and opened its mouth to bite Li Zhen.
Li Zhen punched directly into its mouth. Amid the sound of cracking, several of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's sharp teeth were broken by the blow.
This Tyrannosaurus Rex was extremely ferocious. Even in such a state, it refused to yield and tried to tear Li Zhen apart with its remaining teeth.
In its eyes, Li Zhen was so small and so close that one bite would be enough to kill him.
Pity its walnut-sized brain had miscalculated.
Bang, bang, bang.
Li Zhen repeatedly struck its teeth.
Before long, blood was pouring from the Tyrannosaurus Rex's mouth, and all its teeth had been brutally broken by Li Zhen.
“Roar~”
Fear finally appeared in its eyes. It retreated, wanting to run, but Li Zhen blocked its path, leaving it unable to go anywhere.
It had only escaped a few steps when Li Zhen dragged it back.
The other two Tyrannosaurus Rex climbed to their feet and tried to flee, but Li Zhen dragged them back as well and dealt with them viciously.
Before long, all three Tyrannosaurus Rex had been exhausted by Li Zhen alone. One after another, they collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and never got back up.
