Chapter 713: Submerging into night blindness

Sheyan was finally enlightened upon browsing through those notifications. He became aware of this truth.
The truth of why Reef couldn’t withstand these seemingly weak little pests.
The truth of why a tyrannical Tyrannosaurus would flee in panic.
This was clearly due to the perverse nature of these mutated pack of Deinonychus. Their attacks actually dished out true damages!
Moreover, their attack speed was incredibly astounding, and they travelled in a pack.
Utterly fearless, absolutely savage and capable of delivering true damages with exceptional precedence. Naturally, they were acclaimed as a nightmare existence to contestants or other primitive dinosaurs.
Yet to Sheyan who possessed an even more outrageous innate ability, these creatures remained mere high attack speed low damage creatures!
Thus, while this district was a hell to other creatures or humans, but to Sheyan, this was an invaluable paradise.
Speaking of true damages, Sheyan couldn’t help but recall the Metals Professor.
The last time he saw her was when he was merely an ant, squashable at anytime. Despite so, he ingeniously leveraged on the true damages dealt by the ‘Winged Keys’ to kill her, and right now, yet another pack of deadly creatures who possess terrifying true damages surfaced….
“In view of that woman’s queer mentality, the Metals Professor probably wants to murder Zi with her own hands. Most likely, there’s an eighty percent chance of her being in this killing squad….Is it possible to devise a trap by leveraging on this?”
Mulling that over, Sheyan immediately harrumphed and shook his head. He quickly discarded this alluring idea.
After all, his current advantage laid in the Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, not knowing about his existence in this world.
“Anyway, the current situation is pretty clear. Fu Lyanna and her group definitely wouldn’t be reckless when dealing with Zi….thus, in this manner, with the heightened vigilance of my opponents, the chances of succeeding with schemes will be lowered.”
At present, many queries arose in Sheyan’s heart. For example, since the Metals Professor was revived, how was he able to continue preserving his secret of being an MT?
The only explanation he had so far, was a piece of intelligence he acquired through his military authority.
The intelligence detailed with great clarity – For resurrection abilities or items with the best effects, most of the time they required retrieving the deceased corpse, before using the ability or item on the corpse. In this respect, it preserved everything up till death perfectly.
As for horcrux type objects that deals with resurrecting a contestant that had died for a long while, it required reconstructing a body from scratch. Yet concurrently, some memories may be lost in the process.
In addition to reports he gained, Sheyan was aware that Fu Lyanna’s resurrection rite wasn’t perfect, but merely achieved a 90% completion.
Most vitally, she died as a result of ‘Winged Keys’ chiselling away at her flesh and bones. The agony and trauma she suffered was surely unthinkable.
A normal person definitely wouldn’t want to recall such trauma. As for Fu Lyanna, there may be a possibility of her losing that fragment of agonizing memory right before her death.
At this moment, Sheyan launched forward and slashed up onto a mutated Deinonychus, while completely disregarding the assaults from the other three mutated Deinonychus.
Right before that mutated Deinonychus crashed to the ground, fiery streaks abruptly shuttled in from a neighboring building. Three bullets accurately pierced into that mutated Deinonychus’ head, before erupting with mini explosions; sending it tumbling away and harvesting its life.
Mogensha had arrived in the nick of time.
Consecutively, a diabolical looking viperwolf stealthily appeared. Even before the summoning array beneath it faded, the viperwolf was already pouncing towards the nearest Deinonychus with brandishing fangs. Soon after, it perished with a sorrowful howl, but nonetheless, managed to dish out some damage before perishing.
With Sheyan tanking the front and Mogensha aiding from afar, the few Deinonychus were exterminated in due time. It appears that these beasts whose offensive potency and speed were widely amplified, were nerfed in terms of vitality and defensive capabilities.
Nevertheless, this was only to be expected. Besides, these brats boasted of rapid attack speed and horrifying true damages. Moreover, they were fearless and travelled in packs. If they could also take a beating, then the name of this world should be altered to ‘Deinonychus’ Catastrophe’.
Reef casted a glance at Sheyan before sighing while shaking his head. Evidently, he felt utterly speechless towards the incredible impregnable precedence of Sheyan’s innate ability.
After the trio cleaned up the battlefield, they discovered, to their puzzlement, that the drop rate of these mutated Deinonychus was frighteningly low. They actually didn’t acquire much benefits!
After all, this wasn’t a hidden world, which meant that it should follow the law of high risk high returns.
Even a lofty Growth-Hunter MT like Reef couldn’t withstand the ravaging pack of mutated Deinonychus for long periods. Therefore to the majority of other contestants, the risk of hunting these mutated Deinonychus would be exceedingly daunting. This also meant that if these creatures dropped something, that something would be remarkable!
Naturally, the trio unanimously came to that conclusion. Their eyes emitted an ecstatic glint. Instead, Sheyan quickly shook his head and brought to attention one issue.
“We should hastily depart. Because of Reef’s ability, this motel is akin to an ignited torch; an extremely clear landmark in the dark. There are enemies pursuing Zi, we’ll leave the questions for when we are safe.”
Hence, the trio quickly ascended to a nearby rooftop. Right there, was a floating dark brown lifeform that appeared like a grand jellyfish. Obviously, this was an arachnid Overlord that Sheyan procured from the Avatar World!
The arachnid Overlord egg he purchased was equipped with aerial and transportation capabilities right after incubation. Logically speaking, this Overlord was extremely usable but was unexpectedly prohibited or somewhat restricted in various worlds. Like for this world, once aerial dinosaurs like the Pterosaur notices an arachnid Overlord, they would feel an inevitable threat towards an alien lifeform, thus prompting them to assail the Overlord.
Alas, an arachnid Overlord didn’t possess any retaliating capability! This signified that the arachnid Overlord was actually pretty much useless……
Nevertheless, Sheyan cleverly found a loophole! He previously learned of this information regarding the majority of bird species, that most had night blindness. That’s why many chinese doctors in the real world hail individuals with night blindness as bird eye.
(TL: 雀盲 (literal: bird eye) means night blindness )
Thus, Sheyan decided to try it out, and incubated an arachnid Overlord egg in the dark of night. After allowing the Overlord to circulate for several rounds in the air, though such a motion startled some Pterosaur like creatures, those aerial dinosaurs merely issued annoyed caws and offered no hints of leaving their nests.
Following that, the trio’s affair was greatly simplified. Thus, their flight in a noiseless flying tool was truly immensely difficult to detect.
As for the satellite network system, it focused on metallic aerial constructs artificially constructed by humans. Either that, or surveying the activities of extensive clans of Pterosaurs. It was obviously impossible to pinpoint a lone insignificant arachnid Overlord.
Hence, the trio was able to exploit flying through high altitudes to tail Zi, and eventually managed to rescue her in the nick of time…actually according to Sheyan, sending charcoal in the snowy weather was the most effective way of inducing gratefulness in an individual.
Thus, the four contestants rode the arachnid Overlord and sneakily departed from the motel’s illuminated area.
After flying for four kilometres, Sheyan then willed the arachnid Overlord to descend.
The arachnid Overlord finally halted on the roof of a six storeys building. There was a crumbled opening on this roof, which would allow Sheyan to easily conceal the arachnid Overlord in the fifth storey after daylight dawned.
Noteworthily, this building was located at the opposite end, with the whole stretch of aforementioned ghetto separating the motel and this place. This place should still be within the active proximity of those mutated Deinonychus.
Right now, gazing afar towards the opposite end, they could distinctly see the incandescent flicker of the motel.
Evidently, Sheyan was employing a pretty discernible scheme. If Metals Professor, Fu Lyanna, and her group boasted sufficiently plenty manpower, they would undoubtedly rush to the scene.
When that happens, Sheyan could possibly observe his enemies’ battle strengths and style.
Of course, if they didn’t appear, Sheyan could save the trouble and settle his administrative issues.
RIght now, Zi was completely unconscious. After she recovers, a supreme card would be added to his hand. At least, she would substantially make up for the deficiency in damage output.
At present, the building they were residing in was extremely worn out, and could be hailed as a decrepit house. It was most likely an office building in the past.
After many years of torture, the flight of stairs from the first to third floor was incomparably worn out. Hence, Sheyan blatantly destroyed the flight of stairs, thereby cutting off any possibility of Deinonychus disturbance. For land mobile creatures like them, they definitely couldn’t leap over roofs and vault over walls.
Following that, the trio propped up a large tent in a conference room. This toy was a high grade item that purchased back in the Mattrine district, and was specially supplied for hunting squads.
The tent was effective in intercepting scent and isolating various kinds of light. It could guarantee that camping outdoors wouldn’t incur the wrath of any dinosaur.
Sheyan carried the unconscious Zi out from the belly of the Overlord and into the tent. Next, he hurriedly confirmed that her life wasn’t in danger. Only, the poison polluting her chest would remained unceasingly potent.
After affirming the source of her ailment, then naturally the treatment followed. After all, the trio had stockpiled a relative abundance of medicines. Frankly speaking, some of the medicines were traded to them from Zi previously. Utilizing them on their original owner now, created a rather ironic sensation.
