Chapter 564 - 218: Meat Strips in the Mouth, Text Above the Head

"I have some good news... and some bad news."

After being brought to the Dinosaur Era by Red Heart A, Shen Fei thought for a long while before explaining their current situation to Number 0 and Xiaohong.

From their recent "entanglement" with the Tyrannosaurus and Winged Dragons, he was now certain: he couldn’t summon his Defense Towers. His Summoning ability, along with all his other skills and items, was completely unusable. Moreover, aside from Xiaohong, who could fly thanks to her bloodline, and Number 0, which had mechanical hands due to its bloodline, his team had no other powers at their disposal. Right now, all they could rely on was the incredible Defense Power that came with the Black Tortoise’s physical body.

"Brother Fei, should I go scout?" Hearing Shen Fei’s voice, Xiaohong flapped her Succubus wings, ready to fly into the sky and survey the situation.

At this moment, all their Extraordinary Abilities were gone. The good news, however, was that the dominant dinosaurs of this era were also ordinary, possessing no so-called Extraordinary Power. Therefore, Li Xiaohong only needed to watch out for passing Winged Dragons. With her Succubus wings, she was still capable of scouting the surroundings from high above.

"Go ahead, but be safe! First, find a large mountain and we’ll head toward it. Or find a river and we’ll follow it."

Shen Fei nodded quickly in response.

I’ve pretty much confirmed the era I’m in. Next, I need to determine our location. And after that... it’s time to explore, to search for the final objective I need to find.

"Okay! I’ll be careful!"

Hearing Shen Fei, Li Xiaohong nodded quickly, then flapped her small wings and cautiously flew high into the air to check the surroundings.

Fortunately, the flock of Winged Dragons that had ambushed them earlier had been taught a lesson by the Tyrannosaurus and the Black Tortoise’s hard shell. The nearby airspace was free of any major dangers, so Li Xiaohong’s scouting went rather smoothly.

How in the world am I supposed to find anything? Before, when I went to a Game World, there were mandatory quests! A status panel! Skills! Guidance! This time, I’ve just been thrown into the Dinosaur Era! On top of that, all my Superpowers are sealed, and I have nothing! This is no different from being transmigrated directly into the Jurassic Period in my own body! This so-called "objective"... how am I supposed to find it?

While Xiaohong cautiously flew high into the sky again and again to scout the surroundings, Number 0 and the Black Tortoise remained on high alert. As Shen Fei waited for her scouting report, his mind raced. He hoped to find some method, some guidance, to complete his objective. He was extremely uncomfortable with his current situation—having nothing and being no different from an ordinary person.

Ever since the apocalypse began and he inherited his game abilities, Shen Fei had grown accustomed to a certain routine: checking his personal panel for information, summoning Defense Towers, and engaging in extraordinary combat. Now, his personal panel was locked and impossible to open. His Defense Towers and various abilities were all "sealed," returning him to the state of an "ordinary person." Shen Fei was not at all used to this.

Besides, it was clearly absurd for a tiny human to be scouting for information in the Jurassic Period, an age full of giant beasts. Even with the Black Tortoise and its Invincible shell beside him, the most it could do was provide passive defense, giving Shen Fei a baseline level of security. Having lost all its Superpowers, the Black Tortoise couldn’t do anything else.

With his inherited game abilities completely nullified, Shen Fei couldn’t help but let his mind wander. Were there monkeys in the Jurassic Period? Was it all dinosaurs, or were there mammals too? If, by some chance, mammals like monkeys and apes existed in the Jurassic Period, I could have used those "kin" to expand the team and coordinate group operations.

Unfortunately, after thinking it through, he concluded that mammals probably didn’t exist in the Dinosaur Era. To be more precise, mammals like monkeys and apes certainly didn’t.

They would have to wait until the dinosaurs went extinct. Then, Earth would have to enter a new epoch before things like monkeys and apes could evolve... No, that’s not right! If Earth is also a Game World, then everything is just data produced by some underlying rules! In that case, it’s possible humans didn’t evolve from monkeys or apes!

As his thoughts ran wild, Shen Fei recalled the fact revealed after the version 4.8 update: Blue Star was also a Game World.

If Blue Star is a Game World, then everything was designed or created. The so-called theory of humans evolving from monkeys suddenly loses a lot of its credibility...

WHOOSH!

"Brother Fei! Over there! At the very edge of my line of sight, there’s a snow-capped mountain! The melting snow from the mountain has formed a great river!"

Just as Shen Fei was about to get further lost in his wild thoughts, Xiaohong appeared before him and immediately reported the information she had detected. At the same time, she stretched out her small, fair hand, pointing out the specific direction for him.

"Let’s go! We’ll head to the river first, then follow it toward the mountain!"

Hearing Xiaohong’s report, Shen Fei immediately ordered the group to move out, looking up at the scorching sun overhead.
