Chapter 377 Dinosaur Island in 1943
The Gates LB Orange's shape remained almost unchanged from when it was kidnapped, and no other presences were detected around it, but that did not mean there were no enemies.

Although Cheng Tian's Dominator skill now has a much wider detection range, it is still largely limited to humanoid characters. Therefore, the detection range in this Dinosaur Fighting dungeon is narrower than expected.

The exact origins are impossible to trace, but the aliens in many works, especially those limited to "Martians," are mostly composite images of mushrooms, octopuses, and jellyfish. Doraemon and Metal Slug are examples of this, and the aliens in MapleStory 3 also have a similar appearance, which is far from the traditional "humanoid" shape. Naturally, they are not within the range of the Overlord's detection, so it is impossible to determine whether they still exist.

Moreover, although the Overlord only has the outline of a humanoid mech, the volcanic area below is inhabited by a large number of dinosaurs.

Even the appearance of Helios, a creature made of steel, has already disturbed the dragon units here.

Numerous pterosaur units of various colors were already flying everywhere.

On the land side, there were various herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs that competed with each other to a certain extent, forming a coexistence pattern of predation and resistance with the help of super genes. However, in the sky, pterosaurs almost monopolized the ecological niche, and Archaeopteryx was powerless against the pterosaur population.

In other words, the pterosaur's body structure and feeding habits made them prefer to eat fish and small animals; otherwise, they would definitely have taken over the terrestrial ecological niche as well.

However, unlike the dinosaurs in the swamp jungle who have had countless encounters with humans, the dinosaurs in this area have clearly had little contact with humans. They appear quite panicked by the appearance of the steel bird, but at the same time, they are more aggressive.

After hovering and observing Helios for only a short while, some of the bolder individuals launched an attack on it.

Fireballs, ice spikes, and rocks basically correspond to the three skin colors of pterosaurs: red, blue, and green, which also correspond to the three bloodline mutations: spade, heart, and club.

Upon discovering that he was surrounded and attacked, Cheng Tianfei showed no panic whatsoever; instead, an excited smile appeared on his face.

"Hurry up!"

After yelling this at Eileen, who was hugging him like a koala, Cheng Tian's hands began to move rapidly.

Today, he's going to experience the fun of flight shooting games in a side-scrolling action adventure game!

With the integration of the Gelgard Heart, two Heart Crystals appeared on either side of Helioon. With the help of the Gelgard Heart, the Heart Crystals summoned through the machine became proper wingmen.

In helicopter flight mode, Helios's combat methods are relatively simple, with only the Vulcan cannon and carpet bombing capabilities, but Cheng Tian's main body has a variety of tricks up his sleeve.

Cheng Tian's exceptional driving skills allowed him to precisely dodge all the frontal barrage attacks, passing by them without leaving a scratch.

In situations where evasion is impossible, the Heart Barrier, scaled up to the machine's specifications, appears out of thin air and precisely intercepts the trajectory of every fireball, ice spike, and rock that attempts to hit Helios.

Having satisfied his desire to scavenge bullets, Cheng Tian, ​​after confirming that these mutated pterosaurs were nothing special, pulled the trigger. In an instant, four fire serpents, including two Heart Image Crystal wingmen on either side of his fuselage, shot towards the silly pterosaur swarm!

These pterosaurs, who were originally only capable of gliding, gained flight abilities comparable to birds due to the intervention of the game rules, but they still could not defy certain physical laws—

Once the bullets from the Vulcan cannon pierced their wing membranes, no matter how powerful their bloodline mutations were, these pterosaurs with leaky wings could only howl as they fell from the sky.

The super-powered pterosaur species, which thought they were already the overlords of the skies, were met with a head-on attack from the transforming mechs Helios and Cheng Tian.

Pterosaur carcasses and near-carcasses continued to fall, while land carnivorous and omnivorous dinosaurs, attracted by the scent of blood and flesh, emerged from all directions.

These super-powered dinosaurs, with little contact with humans and low intelligence, merely scavenged pterosaur carcasses on the ground, occasionally glancing up at the ace air combatants in the sky. But soon, something even more interesting happened to Cheng Tian.

To his surprise and delight, a whole line of flying pterosaurs appeared in his field of vision, with the lead pterosaur even glowing.

Almost instinctively, Cheng Tian mercilessly unleashed the Vulcan cannon at the entire column of flying pterosaurs. The pterosaurs, unexpectedly vulnerable, were blasted apart mid-air. And when the bullets struck the last pterosaur, a strange object, suspended in mid-air, exploded out—

A thing consisting of a huge "P" and two consecutive small "OW" letters.

Upon seeing this thing, Cheng Tian controlled Helios and, without hesitation, crashed into it amidst Eileen's exclamation.

As a result, the mech not only did not suffer any damage, but the energy loss that was inevitable in the intense air battle, namely Helios's durability, was also restored by 8 points on the spot after hitting the "POW".

Goodness, did they just use the flight shooting system from 1943?
That's typical of Capcom! They really know how to save trouble!

Having confirmed that this was a situation specific to flight shooting mode, Cheng Tian fought even more enthusiastically.

It is unknown how long the shooting went on, but the pterosaur population inhabiting the Bromo volcano region, after sacrificing countless lives, was finally driven to the brink of collapse, resulting in a mass exodus. The sky over the area is now quieter than ever before.

Cheng Tian finally landed on the ground, completely satisfied.

After the hatch opened, Eileen, who had stopped making any noise about ten minutes earlier, stomped on Cheng Tian, ​​ejected from the cockpit, and went to the side. Then she opened her mouth and spat out a string of things that should be censored with rainbow mosaics because she is a beautiful girl.

Eileen is airsick.

To be precise, it's the kind of airsickness that passengers experience.

As a driver, Eileen, who is already highly agile, would hardly experience dizziness. However, as a passenger, she could only hold Cheng Tian with the back of her head facing outwards, using her body to perceive the state of everything around her, which is why she became dizzy.

The fact that Eileen could endure until this state before vomiting already proves that she has a strong tolerance. Otherwise, spraying mosaics in the closed cabin... Cheng Tian's face turned quite ashen at the thought of this possibility.

"Take a break first?"

Eileen, who was squatting on the ground in a very unseemly manner, waved her hand behind her, and then the sound of a drill chiseling through the rock wall could be heard.

When he turned around again, Cheng Tian had already disappeared into the rock face with the drill chariot.

As Gates LB, perceived by the Dominator Radar, drew closer, the rock wall was pierced when there was still a considerable distance between them. What followed was a familiar crystal slab space and a slightly familiar exclamation from Cheng Tian.

"Elder?"

Looking at the purple dragon beast with two large tails curled up in the distance, Cheng Tian opened the hatch and poked his head out.

Welcome to Elder Purple Dragon's Dragon Egg Wonderland.
