Chapter 417: Chapter 416 Hurricane Rock Tyrannosaurus Chapter 417: Chapter 416 Hurricane Rock Tyrannosaurus In the cave, the campfire flickered, casting a warm and soft glow.

Shao Zifeng sat beside the campfire, his silhouette reflected on the rock wall behind him, swaying slightly with the dancing flames. Not far behind him, the dry ground was piled with many dry branches, which the deer had conjured up in the pet space, emitting a special fragrance as they burned.

The toothed dragon lay by the fire, its amber eyes reflecting the flames; its dark brown rock-like skin was dotted with ores, shimmering with a metallic luster in the firelight. Every now and then, it stole glances at Shao Zifeng, breathing out hot air through its nostrils, its gaze filled with a tinge of grievance.

Because it had been scolded again.

After escaping from the avalanche, they had returned to the foothill of that mountain and dug out another cave.

After igniting the campfire, Shao Zifeng had it seal the entrance to the cave, and the dragon, wanting to keep him warm, used Elemental Energy to seal the cave tightly.

Proudly looking at its handiwork, the dragon turned back, only to meet Shao Zifeng’s incredulous gaze.

It had seen that look more than once.

Thinking about this, the dragon huffed angrily toward the left-out vent.

Cold wind laced with snowflakes kept blowing in through there.

Hmph.

It’s not like I feel cold anyway.

Despite feeling petulant, the dragon still moved forward a bit, using its body to block the chilly wind coming in.

Unaware of the dragon’s small act, Shao Zifeng was frowning, his fingers stroking a gray-white stone marked with patterns.

This was something the dragon had unearthed earlier while clearing snow; it was quietly sitting in the snow hollow at the base of the mountain, starkly at odds with the mountain’s dark brown rocks.

Under the light of the fire, the twisted patterns on the rock seemed to come alive.

Adding to the fossils he had found earlier, this was the third stone he had discovered on the surface of Antarctica, and he wasn’t even trying hard to seek them out.

After coming out from the Under Ice Lake space, the location display on his wristwatch had shown his current position.

Ice dome A point, which was their destination for this trip, was several thousand kilometers away from the new Ross Sea station.

This meant that the coverage of these stones in Antarctica far exceeded his expectations.

Who built these Teleportation Arrays, and what was their purpose?

Could it be that the mutant creatures that have mysteriously appeared in Antarctica are related to this?

Perhaps there was a connection, yet some contradictions existed.

These arrays were one-way, and after he emerged from the Teleportation Array in the Under Ice Lake, those stones remained in the lake, waiting for the next activation.

If these stones were key to the appearance of non-native species in Antarctica, they shouldn’t be found on the continental surface of Antarctica either.

Shao Zifeng thought for a long time, not only failing to find any leads but also growing more confused.

The clues he knew were tangled like a knotted mess, impossible to cut through and resolve.

However, one thing was clear, as Chen Yixin had mentioned to him earlier, this world seemed to harbor a greater peril.

He now felt that same sense of urgency, a pressing need to become stronger quickly.

Sighing, Shao Zifeng put down the stone and stretched lazily.

He looked over at the toothed dragon lying nearby: “Yaya.”

Huff.

The dragon’s amber vertical pupils shifted, focusing on Shao Zifeng, and it exhaled a stream of breath through its nostrils.

Seeing the dragon’s attitude, Shao Zifeng pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh.

He had no idea how this little creature had survived all these years; it almost entirely lacked hunting skills and general knowledge, like a blank slate.

The laughter made the dragon feel even more wronged, and it turned its huge head away, refusing to look at him.

Moving closer to the dragon, Shao Zifeng patted its uneven, cool-to-the-touch head.

“Are you upset?”

Huff huff.

The dragon ignored him, its heavy breathing indicating its discontent.

“Alright, I apologize. I shouldn’t have called you dumb.”

“Woof.”

The word “stupid” once again struck at the sensitive heart of the toothed dragon, which suddenly turned its head, its eyes fierce as it opened its massive mouth to bite Shao Zifeng.

The sharp serrated teeth just stopped upon touching the skin on his hand, his breathing rapid and heavy.

Under the dim firelight, the scene was like a freeze-frame in an oil painting.

“Yaya.”

Shao Zifeng’s voice softened the gaze of the toothed dragon, and realizing it almost bit Shao Zifeng, it hurriedly opened its mouth.

The toothed dragon was like a child who had done something wrong, but unwilling to bow its head, it simply turned away again, not looking at Shao Zifeng.

This is troublesome.

This is too hard to soothe.

This calls for mentioning Qiuqiu, who, although has a personality like a green tea, is actually quite naive–believing whatever you say, so easy to please.

Withdrawing his hand, Shao Zifeng looked gravely at the tooth marks on the back of his hand.

This wasn’t the first time.

The toothed dragon had shown its ferocious side to him right after it evolved.

But Shao Zifeng knew, it wasn’t its fault.

In the corner of his eye, blue light points swirled, and a pale blue light screen slowly unfolded.

[Evolution Path]: Toothed dragon – Hurricane Rock Tyrannosaurus – ?

[Special Form]: ?

[Description]: An ancient species from beyond Earth, which during evolution time, combines two exchange-type talents into one, forming attributes that are completely opposite in a chaotic type talent, thereby becoming extremely dangerous. Once this talent is triggered, the Hurricane Rock Tyrannosaurus continuously strengthens itself, the stronger it becomes, the more it falls into chaos, ultimately becoming an unfeeling killing machine.

Looking at the attributes of the toothed dragon, Shao Zifeng felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

He originally thought the fusion of the two exchange-type talents, Sharp Teeth and Fierce Teeth, would be stronger, but it turned out…

No, the fusion Fierce Teeth talent was indeed stronger, but this kind of enhancement was not what Shao Zifeng wanted to see.

Various types of damage would continuously strengthen its defense and speed, but at the same time, its consciousness would gradually fade.

What was most frustrating was the trigger for Fierce Teeth, which was completely unpredictable, like previously when it collided with a mountain, the force should be mutual, presumably counting as physical damage, but instead of triggering, it just foolishly pushed him and ran away.

And now it almost lost control just by being called dumb.

Shao Zifeng didn’t know if this enhancement had a limit, but at least, the light screen did not describe any.

If there was a limit, it would be fine, but if not…

The cave fell into silence, save for the crackling of the campfire and the heavy breathing of the toothed dragon.

A wry smile appeared on Shao Zifeng’s face.

He had intended to tease the toothed dragon to cheer himself up, but instead, his mood was getting heavier.
