Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 157 Okay, now it’s the turn of human crisis
Irene, who has an elven archery suit, naturally has a very good relationship with the elven archer of "Dragon King Warrior", and the other party also taught her a lot of things because of Irene's talent.

This includes the perception of vegetation and wild animals, which allows her to more easily identify abnormalities among these children of the forest.

Just now, Irene's owl had not flown very far, and the bird's-eye view from high above allowed her to see many things that she could not observe normally, including this pterosaur with reddish skin.

Relying on her intuitive instinct, Irene felt that the pterosaur's behavior was not right.

If she remembered correctly, the eating habits of ancient pterosaurs were actually similar to those of seabirds such as seagulls and ospreys. They mainly fed on fish, insects, small reptiles, and other dinosaur cubs. The structure of their mouths was not convenient for biting prey and was only suitable for swallowing.

Since it is not a scavenger like a vulture, there is obviously something wrong with its behavior of circling directly above their location.

Combined with the description that "dinosaurs attacked human settlements in an organized and disciplined manner" and what Joe said, "the stegosaurus tribe had a team discipline similar to that of canines," Irene concluded that this lone red pterosaur might be a scout within the tribe.

At this time, Irene had not yet concluded that the red pterosaur was a scout, but when Cheng Tian's heavy firepower vehicle completely tore the Allosaurus to pieces and the red pterosaur fled to the north without hesitation, Irene was certain.

It's going back to tip off!

So Irene decisively drew her bow and shot an arrow, and the Storm Power Strike mercilessly pierced through the torso of the unfortunate pterosaur. With blood and broken internal organs, the pterosaur wailed all the way and began to fall. When it landed on the ground with a plop, it was already dead.

Cheng Tian, ​​who learned the reason for archery from Irene, also began to make bold assumptions.

That is, the pterosaurs are not only scouts of their own tribe, but also have the function of informing other dinosaur tribes. These tribes that have no direct conflicts of interest may imitate humans and form alliances.

There may be irreconcilability between herbivorous dinosaurs and carnivorous dinosaurs, but there is a possibility of cooperation between herbivorous dinosaurs and pterosaurs.

Soon, Cheng Tian and his friends drove to the place where the red pterosaur was smashed into a meat pie, and luckily a treasure chest dropped from the red pterosaur. The shape was similar to the previous plum blossom treasure chest, and its keyhole was a "spadar" pattern.

Cheng Tian seemed to understand a little bit. These patterns should be inherited from "MapleStory 3".

There are five types of dragons in MapleStory, and these five dragons correspond to five patterns before being triggered.

Red Dragon/Fire Dragon = Spades, Blue Dragon/Ice Dragon = Hearts, Plesiosaur/Water Dragon = Diamonds, Pterosaur/Flying Dragon = Clubs, Triceratops/Saron = Pentacles.

So from this we can probably infer that the Allosaurus that was torn apart by heavy firepower and fell out of the plum blossom treasure chest should have the ability template of "flying dragon", and the pterosaur that was shot through by Irene's arrow should have the ability template of "fire dragon"?

...But no matter how you look at the Allosaurus's corpse, it doesn't look like it can fly?

Oh, right!
Cheng Tianyi clapped his hands and remembered the so-called flying dragon template's ability. In addition to flying, there is another aspect, which is "throwing stones."

Throwing stones + Allosaurus = mutant bird.

So you were in the same industry~ Then your death really didn’t go unjust!

While Cheng Tian and the others were opening the box, Wu Tan also dissected the red-skinned pterosaur and began to record it.

The hands of orangutans are second only to humans in dexterity, and Utan, originally a human, has long adapted to having overly long fingers. It can even use its feet to perform some simple anatomical operations.

After confirming from Cheng Tian that he did not need the dragon corpse, the poacher Qiao decisively joined the dismantling. It would certainly be difficult for him to take away large pieces of dragon meat, but he could still take away some bones and teeth, as some collectors like these things.

Joe knows a collector who likes to collect various dinosaur teeth. As long as he can prove that the teeth are from a mutant pterosaur, he can definitely sell them for a good price.

Two poker boxes of unknown colors dropped "corpse fragments" related to the original body, and this thing is the key evidence used by players to submit about the source of the mutation of the copy blueprint, and is a mission item.

The "mutated front claws of Allosaurus" can provide 8% completion, while the "mutated glands of Pterosaur" only provide 5% completion. Cheng Tian estimates that this may be related to their templates in life. The stronger the strength, the higher the completion of the fragments.

If we calculate based on the data alone, theoretically, players would have to kill at least 8 groups of dragon beasts to complete the bounty mission, but in reality this is not possible. Not only is it because of the probability of treasure chests dropping, but also because the materials submitted by team players need to be calculated separately, and the same materials cannot be counted repeatedly.

This means that the two materials mentioned above are no longer considered complete, and you need to kill other mutant dinosaurs to obtain materials.

Irene looked at Cheng Tian in surprise as he stuffed both of the mission items into her hands.

"My mission is a little different from yours, so I can't use this thing."

Cheng Tian also answered directly.

"Then what do you need?"

You can't blame Eileen. Everyone took the quest and entered the dungeon together. How could the quest completion results be different just because the spawn points were different?
"Well, I happen to have a skill for stealing eggs, which is quite suitable for this dungeon, so my mission goal has become stealing dinosaur eggs."

Cheng Tian still answered truthfully, and at the same time grasped the essence of "only telling part of the truth".

But after hearing this answer, Irene frowned and kept looking around, and finally stopped at the hook on Cheng Tian's left hand before she suddenly reacted.

"...Where's your shield?"

At this moment, Irene finally remembered why she looked at Cheng Tian as a stranger. The most important point was that Cheng Tian no longer used the shield. She had never seen Cheng Tian take out the extremely conspicuous Captain America shield!
Mr. Cheng slowly but resolutely shifted his gaze and looked into the distance.

Fine, fine~ You won't tell me, right? Just wait! I'll have plenty of ways to pry your mouth open when we get back!

Irene's eyes rolled around.

When Cheng Tian turned around again, the female archer had adjusted her mentality at the speed of light, hiding her plan to pry open the mouth in her heart. She stuffed the task items into the inventory as if nothing had happened, and no longer asked about Cheng Tian's shield and skills.

"Oh, right." Seeing Cheng Tian's gaze shifting towards her, Irene pointed in the direction they had come from. "Don't we need to deal with that group of people at the back?"

"No, they'll be useful later. How muddy the water will be depends on whether they know how to handle it."

Cheng Tian showed a sharp smile.

After dealing with the Allosaurus and Pterosaur, they didn't encounter any other blind wild dragons along the way, and the two groups of people following behind didn't get too far away, just stayed behind.

But as we got closer to our destination, the environment and atmosphere became increasingly wrong.

From here on, a large number of traces of artificial roads have appeared. The ground in some areas is very flat enough for wheels to pass through, and there are also many marks unique to poachers engraved on the tree trunks on the roadside.

This is the temporary camp area opened up by the Butcher Family organization to which Poacher Joe belongs.

And with the high-altitude vision of the owl soul, Irene was one step ahead of everyone else and saw what was happening in the camp at that moment.

At this time in the original work, the "Bald Butcher", whose height is almost the same as that of an ordinary adult stegosaurus and whose fat is shaking, is chopping off a very fresh stegosaurus to satisfy his need for killing and eating raw food.

but now……

Triceratops and Stegosaurus rampaged through the camp, and pterosaurs swooped over, throwing rocks or spewing fireballs from their mouths that were neither too big nor too small, but enough to ignite the camp. In response, the human poachers and fat men weighing over 300 pounds were resisting with all their might, pulling out machine guns, grenades and all their weapons, and struggling to face the large number of dinosaurs' joint combat charge.

The real leader of the camp, the "Bald Butcher" with two machetes in his hands, is facing off against the Stegosaurus Guard who is suspected to have been mentioned by Joe and is performing the "Sonic Rolling Impact"!

The two swords rubbed against the sword mountain frantically, sending a large number of sparks flying—

This hunting camp, established by a butcher with the mission of poaching and capturing dinosaurs, was actually attacked by dinosaurs!
