Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 380: The Threefold Increase in Strength After Darkening Also Applies to the Captured Mech.

"What a magnificent sight!"

Looking at the scene of dragons and beasts galloping below, Cheng Tian couldn't help but sigh.

He had seen the movie Jurassic World 2. The scene of dinosaurs fleeing due to a volcanic eruption, and a Brachiosaurus howling as it disappeared into the lava dust, was very memorable.

However, after the initial panic, the super-powered dragons below began to show the huge differences between them and ordinary dinosaurs.

Most of the individuals with purple skin and plum blossom bloodline mutation can fly, which goes without saying; those that cannot fly are naturally swallowed up by the rapidly spreading lava.

The dinosaurs with green skin and five-pointed star-shaped bloodlines basically turned into spheres while running, using Sonic Spin to accelerate and leave others in the dust.

A significant number of dinosaurs with red skin and the black spade bloodline mutation simply embraced the magma, letting it cover their bodies. Theoretically, anyone with a bloodline mutation of 70% or higher could be almost immune to the high temperature of the magma... However, this behavior was somewhat self-serving, because being immune to magma did not mean they did not need oxygen.

High temperatures won't kill them, but the magma solidifies due to its rapid cooling upon contact with air, sealing their mouths and noses. Unable to escape the magma cover in a short time, they ultimately suffocate.

The individuals with blue skin and red heart bloodline mutation, and those with pink skin and diamond bloodline mutation, are the most useless in this escape.

They can neither speed up escape, nor provide immunity to high temperatures, nor can they fly... Ironically, however, they are the ones most needed in the crucial next stage of the escape.

As mentioned before, the sea level rise caused by the cataclysm has submerged a considerable amount of land. As a result, Java, which is an island, does not have much land available for dinosaurs to inhabit. Consequently, the dinosaurs that were trying to escape were quickly blocked by the sea.

The problem is that the green-skinned creatures that ran away first couldn't swim, and their large weight meant they could only stand by helplessly at the beach. Meanwhile, the pink-skinned creatures, who could swim, were mostly swallowed up by the lava because they were generally too slow.

Blue-skinned characters with frost abilities can theoretically create ice floes to prolong their lives, but they also face the same problem as pink-skinned characters.

Without the threat of humans, they are clearly not as intelligent as the groups in the swamp forests, and they don't understand the concept of cooperation at all.

The mournful cries of dinosaurs began to echo along the beach.

"It's a pity that if we didn't already have Little Blue, this would have been a good opportunity to recruit servants."

Eileen remarked with some emotion, "After the bloodline is purified, the wind element becomes more active, allowing me to easily lift the lightning rhythm and glide for longer periods."

"Taking advantage of the dragon's misfortune? Not bad~"

While responding, Cheng, who didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions, turned his attention to several enormous Brachiosaurus beasts.

As Eileen said, if you take advantage of the dragon's vulnerability to recruit servants in this situation, the probability of the other party submitting is actually quite high. Although this will result in a very low default initial reputation between the two parties, as long as you can recruit servants first, everything will be fine. After that, there will be plenty of time and energy to cater to their preferences and slowly build a good relationship.

Unfortunately, Eileen has no interest in taming new dinosaur servants for the time being, while Cheng Tian has a better option... to collect materials after they die and then carry out his mad scientist modification activities!
Cheng Tian wasn't quite sure what the scientific names of these large dinosaurs were. In his eyes, there wasn't much difference between Brontosaurus, Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus, and Mamenchisaurus. He wasn't sure which ones would be useful in the future, but that didn't stop him from collecting the corpses. The research institute had already been established in the swampy jungle, but the portable research institute was still effective. As long as the corpses were unclaimed, Cheng Tian could collect them by touching them.

This volcanic eruption with its mysterious origin actually helped Cheng Tian a lot. The variety of dragon corpses was so rich that Cheng Tian might have to screen and discard some of the dinosaur materials.

But before that...

Golden arrows of retribution circled Helios's fuselage and shot towards the billowing smoke of the volcano, colliding mid-air with a large rock that shot out from the black smoke.

The smaller arrow easily pierced through the huge rock and flew towards the purple metal pterosaur that also emerged from the black smoke!
Meanwhile, the other metallic dinosaurs from the crater side performed the actions that Cheng Tian had imagined the super-powered dinosaurs should be able to do.

The red metallic Tyrannosaurus Rex, which was immune to magma and possessed immense strength, simply charged down the mountain on the magma, leaving two brighter tracks on its feet.

Not far behind, the blue metallic Allosaurus opened its mouth wide and looked down, its freezing breath instantly turning the flowing lava into a lava slide, descending rapidly at a speed slightly slower than that of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Meanwhile, the pink metallic Plesiosaurus and the green metallic Triceratops followed closely behind.

But when Cheng Tian noticed this, his gaze unconsciously shifted to the very back of the opposing team—

His own Gates LB Orange was also sliding down the slide with its pulley mechanism fully activated!

Is it being operated by aliens? Or... some kind of self-driving technology?

With a strange intuition, Cheng Tianxia subconsciously sensed that the main body of the metal dinosaur team opposite him might not be the red Tyrannosaurus Rex that led the charge, but rather the Orange that had been stolen from him.

Cheng Tian's mind was wandering, but his hands moved without hesitation, instinctively maneuvering Helios and the purple metal pterosaur through the air.

Just as the intersection was completed, Helios suddenly transformed, changing from a helicopter into a combat humanoid mech!
In this state, Helios is unable to fly. The heavy machine performs a baptism of the earth's gravity, but in its place, it unlocks the high-energy beam cannon release function that is exclusive to this form!

The forearms of the two humanoid arms bent upwards, revealing the fully charged cannon muzzles at the elbows. In an instant, along with the two Heart Crystal wingmen, four high-energy beams blasted towards the purple metal winged dragon from different directions, forming a deadly attack!

As the most agile but lowest-health individual among the five metal dinosaurs, the purple metal pterosaur urgently twisted its body, dodging Cheng Tian's three high-energy beams in a twisted and deformed form that no living being could achieve. However, one of its metal wings was still pierced!

Cheng Tian, ​​who is proficient in grazing bullets, is also good at seizing the most difficult dodge points for other flying units!

A purple metallic pterosaur crashed!

However, just as Cheng Tian was bracing himself against the intense impact of the fall and rebound, preparing to finish off the fallen purple metal pterosaur with his laser blade, it suddenly seemed to be attracted by a powerful magnet, ignoring its normal trajectory and beginning to rapidly return in the direction where the metal dinosaurs were—

Then, to Cheng Tian's utter astonishment, it collided with the Gates LB Orange, which was at the very end of the queue, and made a very loud "crack" sound, as if some kind of fitting parts had been successfully connected!
