Witnessing the savage's brave but futile actions stirred something within Ye Chen. He understood that such a defense was akin to pebbles against a fortress, an effort destined for failure. It became clear that extricating them from this peril rested solely on his shoulders. His thoughts immediately turned to formidable weaponry.
He recalled possessing both the Heaven-piercing Sword and the Silver Spear, either of which could serve his purpose. Yet, in the present circumstance, the Silver Spear felt like the more fitting choice. With a mere thought, as if conjuring it through sheer will, a gleaming Silver Spear materialized in his grasp.
The savage watched Ye Chen, a look of bewildered admiration on its face, clearly perceiving the immense power the man wielded. Ye Chen gestured for the savage to retreat further, indicating that its presence was becoming a liability. He reasoned that the Tyrannosaurus, sensing it was outmatched by him, might redirect its aggression towards the savage, a scenario he wished to avoid.
Furthermore, Ye Chen recognized the necessity for a swift resolution. He couldn't afford to be embroiled in a prolonged battle, lest other Tyrannosaurs be drawn to the commotion. While he felt confident in his ability to handle a single Tyrannosaurus, the prospect of facing multiple adversaries was uncertain.
The savage, comprehending Ye Chen's command, quickly concealed itself amidst the nearby foliage. Ye Chen was aware that visually, carnivorous dinosaurs possessed exceptional acuity, and the Tyrannosaurus would undoubtedly spot the savage. However, he was confident that the magnificent beast would not bypass him to pursue its intended prey.
His assumption proved correct. The Tyrannosaurus entirely disregarded the savage, launching its ferocious attack directly at Ye Chen. It lunged with its formidable, razor-sharp claws, aiming to obliterate him, but Ye Chen's evasive maneuvers thwarted its every attempt.
Ye Chen skillfully evaded the onslaught, even managing to land several piercing blows on the Tyrannosaurus's thick hide with the Silver Spear. Frustrated by its repeated failures and the sting of the spear, the creature lowered its massive head, intending to clamp its powerful jaws around the irritating human.
Ye Chen recognized this as his opportune moment, a smug smile gracing his lips. He had gleaned from his studies that a Tyrannosaurus's hide was exceptionally resilient, rendering most sharp objects ineffective and causing minimal pain. However, like all creatures, it possessed a vulnerability, and Ye Chen knew precisely where it lay: its eyes.
This knowledge proved invaluable, truly embodying the adage that wisdom dictates destiny. Without this crucial insight, confronting such a colossal beast would have been a far more perilous undertaking. The Tyrannosaurus, in its blind rage, continued its attempts to bite, but Ye Chen expertly sidestepped each lunge.
From its hiding spot, the savage watched the titanic struggle, its heart pounding with anxiety. It silently willed Ye Chen to victory, having come to view him as family. No one had ever provided such sustenance nor defended it so fiercely in its hour of need.
As the Tyrannosaurus once again lowered its head for a bite, Ye Chen seized the moment, thrusting the Silver Spear directly into its eye. The strike was executed with breathtaking speed and precision, leaving the monstrous creature no chance to react.
"Magnificent," Ye Chen mused inwardly. Blood gushed from the wounded eye, severely impairing the Tyrannosaurus's vision. Despite its injury, the creature continued its frenzied assault, though its attacks now posed no threat to Ye Chen.
Strategically, Ye Chen ceased his evasive maneuvers, positioning himself to the side. He observed the enraged Tyrannosaurus, its roars echoing through the landscape as it thrashed about mindlessly, resembling a headless chicken. Eventually, its futile efforts left it utterly exhausted, and it ceased its assault.
Ye Chen harbored no intention of delivering a killing blow; his primary objective was to seize this moment and escape. Spotting the Tyrannosaurus succumbing to exhaustion, Ye Chen quickly maneuvered his motorcycle towards the tall grass where the savage lay hidden. As the motorcycle cut through the vegetation, the agile savage expertly leaped onto the rear seat.
Ye Chen chuckled, impressed by the savage's quick thinking. As they began to pull away, the Tyrannosaurus attempted a pursuit, but its injured state caused it to topple forward after only a few steps. The resounding crash from behind signaled to Ye Chen that they were, at last, out of immediate danger. He was certain the Tyrannosaurus could no longer catch them, and their safety was assured.
After a considerable distance, Ye Chen brought the motorcycle to a halt. He queried the system, "System, do dinosaurs frequently appear in this vicinity?" The system responded, "Host, this area is generally safe; dinosaurs do make occasional appearances, but they are typically herbivores."
Reassured by this information, Ye Chen dismounted, signaling for the savage to do the same. Once beside Ye Chen, the savage, its eyes filled with profound gratitude, walked over and embraced him tightly. Ye Chen, taken aback by the sudden display of affection, patted the savage's shoulder. "Alright, alright, I can only accompany you this far. I cannot remain in this world for long," he said, though he knew the creature wouldn't grasp his words.
The savage released Ye Chen and offered him a warm smile. Ye Chen returned the smile, then mounted his motorcycle, offering a final wave of farewell to the companion he had briefly shared this perilous journey with.
With tears unexpectedly streaming down his face, the savage mimicked Ye Chen's earlier actions.
Humming a tune as he rode towards the wormhole, guided by the system, Ye Chen sang, "Riding my beloved motorcycle, it never gets stuck in traffic..."
His journey was uneventful, with no further dangers encountered.
Seeing the wormhole looming ahead, Ye Chen flashed a smile and accelerated into its depths.
In mere moments, Ye Chen materialized in a secluded corner of the parking lot, skillfully avoiding the watchful eyes of the surveillance cameras.
Ye Chen quickly made his way to the HiTea shop via elevator.
Upon Ye Chen's return, Song Xiaoxiao's face showed concern. "Ye Chen, are you alright? I was so worried about you," she expressed.
"Silly girl, I'm much better now, don't you worry," Ye Chen reassured her, gently stroking her hair.
Hearing his words, Song Xiaoxiao's worried expression visibly softened.
Knowing that their turn would likely take a while, Ye Chen found a place for himself and Song Xiaoxiao to sit.
Even though they were aware of Ye Chen's girlfriend, the two girls couldn't help but steal glances his way.
Ye Chen offered them a polite nod, a gesture that Song Xiaoxiao did not fail to notice.
"Ye Chen, you're mine. Don't go flirting with other girls," the girl directly opposite them suddenly declared.
Ye Chen could only feel a sense of helplessness, truly innocent, as if he could never wash himself clean, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
As frustration welled up within him, the system's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Congratulations, host, for completing the Worldwide Delivery order. You have earned a system reward."
Ye Chen's heart was filled with a maelstrom of emotions upon seeing this reward.
