Chapter 219: Skeletal Tyrannosaurus

After successfully extracting, Lin Jiayao quickly glanced at her Safehouse.

A box lay inside, containing twenty Blood Crystals.

After transferring these Blood Crystals to the Blood Crystal Box, plus the Blood Crystals from the trade in India, Lin Jiayao now had a total of one hundred and thirty-nine.

Looking at the Blood Crystal Box, more than half full, she no longer felt the same excitement as before.

Because she knew that Blood Crystals weren’t something that could be saved. Whenever the system unlocked a new creation or upgraded an existing one in the Hideout, her Blood Crystals would vanish in an instant.

She glanced at the evolutions available. The low-rank Gundam hadn’t provided any particularly impressive options.

So, she simply retained [Bite Lv.2], strengthening her finger strength, jaw muscles, and teeth. The enhancement to her strength was minimal, but her canine teeth became even sharper.

Feeling a warm current in her cheeks and hands, she raised her hand and touched her jaw muscles.

Unfortunately, although her bite force had increased, her muscles didn’t seem to have developed at all.

This confirmed that she couldn’t have those sleek, beautiful abs like her sister, but at least she wouldn’t be turned into a muscle monster by the system.

It was a blessing in disguise.

Without delaying further, Lin Jiayao exchanged ten bags of blood crystal liquid in the Hideout and put them into the Safehouse.

Ten bags of Blood Crystal Serum were enough to deal with most situations. If ten bags weren’t enough, it meant that the opponent’s strength or form completely overpowered Mask. In that case, even a hundred more bags would be useless.

These preparations took about half a minute, and there was still a long time before the system’s predicted time.

Basically, there would be no problem if she logged in and ran directly towards A4. Once they joined forces, ordinary hordes would be no match for them.

Having finalized her plan, Lin Jiayao opened the system’s login interface and directly selected No. 1, Mask.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Lin Jiayao felt vibrations from all directions.

Slightly raising the bone spur pectoral fins of the zombie ray, Lin Jiayao surfaced.

The reservoir in the darkness was being pounded by heavy rain, the water level slightly rising.

The rising water gushed out through the breach in the dam, creating a small waterfall.

Hearing the vibrations of the flowing water through Bone Spike Lurker, Lin Jiayao shifted her body slightly with her bone spurs and looked at the Extraction Points around her.

The closest one to A4 was the Xiliu River National Forest Park Extraction Point to the west, 80.3km from Mask’s current location and about 180km from the Huashan Reservoir Extraction Point where A4 was.

Lin Jiayao had previously wanted to keep A4 and Mask far apart, not putting all her eggs in one basket.

But the situation had changed. She had to consolidate her forces to defend against the seabed zombies that were trying to encroach on the land.

There was no time to lose. Every second of delay increased the risk. Lin Jiayao quickly propped up the zombie ray’s massive body and climbed out of the reservoir.

After confirming her destination, Lin Jiayao crawled forward in a straight line. Even when encountering rolling hills, she didn’t detour, but directly used her massive body to force her way through.

The system gave her plenty of extraction time, a full five hours. There was basically no chance of failing to extract.

And for safety, Lin Jiayao controlled Mask’s crawling the entire way, without setting automatic navigation after switching consciousness.

But even so, after crawling for about twenty kilometers, Lin Jiayao still noticed something was wrong.

The rain… why hadn’t it stopped?

Lin Jiayao was still within Guangnan Province, and she realized a problem.

If she continued westward, her extraction route would be almost parallel to the coastline.

In other words, she wasn’t getting much further from the sea.

And it had already been more than ten minutes since the system’s estimated time. If nothing unexpected happened… something unexpected should happen.

“Pitter… patter…”

Amidst the sound of the rain, Lin Jiayao used Bone Spike Lurker to pinpoint a crawling sound not far away.

This sound was different from the walking or running sounds of other zombies she had detected along the way.

The sound hadn’t yet entered the range where Mask could simulate its appearance through vibrations. Instinctively, Lin Jiayao veered slightly north, trying to get further from the sea and bypass the source of the sound.

Although it might be a detour, it was better than running into a fight.

Just as Lin Jiayao was about to change direction, the “pitter-patter” sound in her Bone Spike Lurker suddenly stopped, then rapidly approached.

Its detection range was almost the same as hers?

And it was so fast…

She couldn’t escape.

Lin Jiayao quickly made this judgment in her mind.

She wasn’t panicked, but continued northwest, drawing the other party away from the sea and closer to A4.

The fact that the other party could move so fast on land and had such a long detection range meant it was most likely not a mollusk, but a creature with bones.

If the other party had bones, then encountering Mask, it would be a toss-up who would win.

Finally, on the Lantian overpass, about thirty-five kilometers from the original Extraction Point, Lin Jiayao finally simulated the other party’s appearance through vibrations.

No, at this distance, she didn’t need to simulate, Lin Jiayao could already see the other party.

On the vast plain of the highway, Lin Jiayao saw “four lights” snaking towards her.

There were two elongated light-emitting organs on each side of its huge head, emitting red and blue light.

In the center of this police light-colored head was a huge mouth. Its body was only about fifty meters long, but its head accounted for one-fifth of that length.

Its gaping maw was five or six meters wide, filled with teeth longer than its head.

But its outer skin was cracked and peeling, even revealing glimpses of the bones beneath.

A deep-sea fish, injured?

Lin Jiayao looked at the approaching zombie fish monster and was about to meet it head-on, using her pectoral fins to grapple, when she suddenly felt slight vibrations from the ground.

Without time to think, Lin Jiayao, trailing countless crimson threads, detached herself from the spine of the giant ray.

The moment she detached from the body and propelled herself away with Bone Crystal Threads, Lin Jiayao saw a thick, glowing blue tendril erupt from the ground, piercing through the concrete and impaling the zombie ray.

In an instant, the incredibly long tendril completely coiled around the ray’s body. Then, the approaching zombie fish monster lunged, its massive jaws snapping shut on the zombie ray’s head.

Under its razor-sharp teeth, the B-rank bones of the zombie ray were like paper, easily pierced and shattered. The entire head, along with part of the cervical spine, was ripped off.

The huge mouth, the tendril, and the signature red and blue eyes, this was undoubtedly a zombie species evolved from a deep-sea Gulper Eel.

The Gulper Eel zombie didn’t seem to notice Lin Jiayao, who was in a detached, feigning death state, and continued to frantically tear at the bones.

The glowing tendril wrapped around the zombie ray was slowly retracting, finally coiling into a ball beneath its body. It was almost seven or eight hundred meters long, spread out like a bundle of cables.

Lin Jiayao, feigning death nearby, the bone threads connected to her tailbone no longer glowing, just lay there quietly watching the Gulper Eel devour the bones.

It wasn’t that Lin Jiayao didn’t want to move, but if she did, her feigned death state would be broken, and she would be discovered.

Now Lin Jiayao could only be thankful that the zombie ray’s corpse was large enough. Even with the other party’s frantic gnawing, it wouldn’t be able to completely devour this large bone in less than ten minutes.

This time was just enough…

Lin Jiayao, controlling Mask, lay motionless like a salted fish not far away and directly switched her consciousness.

After her consciousness returned to her body, Lin Jiayao kept an eye on the devouring progress while opening the training ground and directly simulating the Gulper Eel inside.

Without hesitation, Lin Jiayao lifted all restrictions on the Gulper Eel in the training ground and simultaneously controlled the simulated Mask to engage it.

It was half the size of the giant zombie ray, but much faster. The most troublesome thing was its tendril.

There were no bones inside the tendril. Once Mask was entangled, it would basically be crushed.

The difficulty now was how to let Mask’s bone threads touch the other party’s bones without being entangled by the tendril.

After simulating and failing several battles, Lin Jiayao’s gaze shifted to the consciousness switching interface.

In the image, the frenzied Gulper Eel zombie was twisting its body, having completely burrowed into the zombie ray to devour frantically, like a hot dog stuffed inside a bun.

This was…?

Lin Jiayao quickly exited the training ground, stopped the simulation, and quickly switched her consciousness back to Mask.

The other party drilling into the zombie ray’s body was now absolutely the best opportunity for Lin Jiayao, otherwise, after it finished devouring or left the zombie ray’s body, it would become even stronger after being repaired by the blood crystals.

“Swish—”

The bone threads on Lin Jiayao’s body instantly lit up with the glow of blood crystal liquid. Several bone threads shot out, drilled into the zombie ray’s bones, and dragged Mask’s body headfirst into the zombie ray’s skeleton.

Ghost Swimmer.

Lin Jiayao, entering the skeleton, was like a fish in water, quickly swimming among the bones towards the Gulper Eel zombie.

“Roar—!”

The moment Mask revived, the Gulper Eel roared. It bit through the dense pectoral fins on the side of the zombie ray, shook off the bone fragments, and poked its head out, facing the spot where Mask was just now.

But now, it was too late.

Mask’s body emerged from the pectoral fin bone above the Gulper Eel zombie’s head like a ghost, extending half its body and abruptly cocking its right fist.

Its originally human-like right fist had become a spiral drill-like spike, with crimson bone threads wrapped around the spiral grooves.

As Lin Jiayao punched, the sharp bone spur pierced through the Gulper Eel’s scales and black flesh. The moment it drew blood, the bone threads wrapped around the spiral immediately burrowed inside.

“Roar—!”

The intense pain and the threat of death made the Gulper Eel zombie frantically swing its tail fin, and the already fragmented ray skeleton was instantly shattered from the middle by this force.

But this was useless. Even before its tendril could coil over, Lin Jiayao had already climbed onto its head, lifted its skull, and drilled directly inside.

The late tendril still tried to drill into the hole in the skull, wanting to pull Lin Jiayao out, but just as the tendril was about to touch Mask’s tailbone, Lin Jiayao’s bone drill had already reached its brain.

Through the previous simulation, although Lin Jiayao couldn’t win, she at least dissected it once and knew its body structure.

“Shing—”

The bone drill with blood crystal threads directly pierced into the Gulper Eel’s head, frantically stirring. The dark purple brain matter splattered like blueberry jam, flowing within the cranial cavity.

The tendril that it had drilled into its own skull also went completely limp after its brain was completely mashed.

It really didn’t know what hit it.

After confirming that the Gulper Eel was completely motionless, Lin Jiayao controlled Mask to pull out the bone drill and directly shook off the blood on the drill bit.

Now her whole body was covered with dark purple brain matter and blood, but Lin Jiayao didn’t care. She directly turned around and merged her body into the back of the Gulper Eel’s head.

The moment Mask’s body fully merged into the bones, the brain matter on her body was completely separated, as if filtered by a gauze net.

Lin Jiayao stopped at the Gulper Eel’s spine, and the blood crystal bone threads on her body quickly spread along its skeleton.

As the bone threads invaded, scarlet lines slowly appeared on the Gulper Eel zombie’s bones, and a large amount of completely useless muscle and scales slowly fell off, revealing the strangely patterned bones inside.

Trying to control the Gulper Eel’s body and move, she could easily slither with the help of the dense scales that hadn’t fallen off on her lower body.

She looked at the flesh and blood and skeletons scattered around the battlefield, and a look of regret appeared in the zombie Gulper Eel’s scarlet eyes.

What a waste… this was all B-rank flesh and blood…

Lin Jiayao wriggled her body, controlled the bone spurs pierced by the whip tendril to pull out the bones from the broken zombie ray one by one, and inserted them onto her new body one by one.

The old bones and the new bones were fused as if they were one. The moment they were attached, they were pierced by red blood crystal threads, and finally became inseparable, as if they were born this way.

Soon, Lin Jiayao used the extra bones to give her lower body two limbs completely made of bones.

Now, with the addition of thick hind legs and two slightly thinner front legs, the Zombie Gulper Eel looked nondescript, like a zombified Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Lin Jiayao used the remaining skin and bones to create a large pouch in front of the Gulper Eel’s body and put all the remaining flesh and blood inside.

Now Mask could only absorb the blood crystal liquid in the bones and the precipitated Blood Crystals, and it was no longer the type that could evolve by eating flesh and blood.

This extra flesh and blood could just be brought to A4.

Just like this, a “zombified skeletal Tyrannosaurus with a kangaroo pouch”, with thin, whip-like tendrils wrapped around its neck, walked towards the Extraction Point with heavy steps.
