Chapter 64: God's Temple Opens (Part 3)
"King... killed the Earthquake Dragon?!"
The Allosaurus, which was slowly devouring the skyscraper ruins and excavating the Velociraptor's corpse, heard the sounds of battle coming from the Earthquake Dragon's direction. It looked up and personally witnessed the Earthquake Dragon's death.
However, due to the distance, it couldn't see clearly. It only vaguely saw the Earthquake Dragon's neck seemingly snapped by a reflective, fist-sized oval pebble.
"Hiss, is this the strength of a psychic powerhouse? He actually controlled a tiny pebble to kill the Earthquake Dragon?!" The Allosaurus swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "King is too terrifying. Phew, my previous analysis was indeed correct. King possesses strength far beyond mine. Fortunately, I wisely chose to surrender, otherwise, I would have long ago perished!"
It felt incredibly fortunate, realizing that whether one was a human or a monster, having a brain was truly important.
"Oh no, this is bad. Just now, King ordered me to dig out the Velociraptor's corpse, but I..." It had only perfunctorily touched the ruins a few times, just to get it over with. "I must speed up, otherwise, if King comes back and sees me slacking off, he'll get angry and kill me too, wouldn't that be unjust?"
Its digging speed instantly increased. Whoosh, whoosh! Rocks and sand flew everywhere. This dignified Allosaurus was now furiously digging through the sand and stones like a mole, searching for the Velociraptor's corpse.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a three-star Monster Card: Earthquake Dragon!"
After King watched Saitama leave, he touched the Earthquake Dragon's corpse and successfully obtained a three-star Monster Card.
"Recently, my gains have been quite substantial!"
He flew towards the Allosaurus's location, and couldn't help but think that the past period of time had been particularly smooth. Before, during the Monster Prison riot, he had used the opportunity to obtain more than ten Tiger-Wolf Level Monster Cards. Now, with the Dinosaur Men riot, he had obtained more than twenty Tiger-Wolf Level Monster Cards, and even a few Demon Level Monster Cards.
If he calculated carefully, if he used all the cards, he could definitely level up to over twenty. Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
"Lord King, I have already dug out the Velociraptor's corpse. Please review my work."
When King returned to the Allosaurus's side, the Allosaurus nervously reported its excavation results. The Velociraptor's corpse, about two meters long, was neatly placed in front of King.
"Hmm, not bad."
King's heart was pleased. He took a quick step forward and reached out to touch the tattered corpse of the Velociraptor.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a three-star Monster Card: Velociraptor!"
He nodded with satisfaction, and another Demon Level Monster Card entered his hand.
The Allosaurus saw that Lord King seemed to be in a good mood. It then nervously asked, "Lord King, is there anything else I can do for you? Please feel free to command me; I will desperately help you complete it."
King stared blankly at the servile Allosaurus, and couldn't help but laugh. A dignified Demon Level monster actually acting so obsequiously was truly a great absurdity, an unheard-of rarity.
(Black Sperm: You probably haven't seen a Dragon Level monster fawning over humans, have you?!)
Still, laughter aside and wonder aside, how was he going to deal with the Allosaurus?
His brows furrowed slightly. Taking it as a pet was impossible. The System had clearly stated that unless it was a monster he personally hatched, it could not become a bound pet. If the Allosaurus couldn't be bound as a pet, he feared that this inherently treacherous fellow might turn around and bite him one day. Therefore, the Allosaurus absolutely could not be kept by his side.
Kill it? Don't be ridiculous. To kill the Allosaurus, he would probably have to spend several Demon Level Cards, or even Dragon Level Monster Cards, to take it down.
"Hand it over to the Hero Association to deal with!"
After thinking it over repeatedly, he decided to hand over the Allosaurus to the Hero Association and imprison it in the Association Headquarters' Monster Prison.
The Hero Association's Headquarters Monster Prison was personally built by Metal Knight. It was extremely sturdy, and its defense system was highly advanced, capable of imprisoning Demon Level and below monsters.
"Lord King, do you need an enforcer? Although my strength can't compare to your single fingertip, I can be your lackey. Whoever you find displeasing, you won't need to act; I'll take care of it for you."
"Lord King, do you need a mount? I can work like an ox or horse for you, carrying you to see all the mountains and rivers, traveling through the five lakes and four seas. Moreover, my steps are extremely stable; if you ride on my back, you definitely won't feel a single jolt. Also, my back is very spacious, soft, and comfortable; you will definitely feel very comfortable sitting on it. Just a casual mention, you can even... on my back." The Allosaurus let out a rumbling cough.
The Allosaurus chattered endlessly, desperately promoting itself, fearing that it would be killed by King if it had no use.
"Ding! The System detected that a monster is wholeheartedly convinced by the Host and is willing to become the Host's steed..."
"Ding! System steed module activating..."
"Ding! System steed module activated successfully. May I ask if the Host wishes to bind this steed as your exclusive steed?"
The System suddenly displayed a long string of prompts.
After King finished listening, his mouth twitched. He inexplicably thought of that troublesome Vaccine Man. His original intention was clearly to have a Demon Level monster by his side as a bodyguard, but he never expected that after the System's intervention, the once majestic Vaccine Man would become a weakling that even he couldn't defeat. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also had to painstakingly put in effort to level up Vaccine Man.
Now the System wanted to push another steed on him.
He decided against it. It was already tiring enough to level up one little pet. Another little steed would definitely infuriate him to death.
Besides, he could only fly for now! Did he really need a steed to travel? Although his current flight speed wasn't very fast, it could improve with his level-ups. Sooner or later, he would reach or even surpass Tatsumaki's flight speed.
At that time, what use would a steed be? Moreover, the Allosaurus was so huge; if he rode it, he would probably smash through the streets and cause traffic jams, only inviting public disgust. What's more, his home wasn't a grassland forest; where would he find space to raise an Allosaurus?
More importantly, raising a carnivorous creature weighing several tons would require a large sum of money to buy fresh meat every day. He stated that he was no nouveau riche; he didn't have much spare money and couldn't afford to raise it.
If it were the Velociraptor, he might consider it. After all, the Velociraptor was small and fast, making it an excellent steed. Unfortunately, the Velociraptor had already courted its own death, leaving him with a slight regret. He didn't know if there were any other fast-running Dinosaur Men still alive. Perhaps he could try to look around, and if he found other agile Dinosaur Men, he could try to tame them as steeds.
He thought it over and over, ultimately concluding that there was no value in making the Allosaurus his steed.
Therefore, he didn't pay attention to the fawning Allosaurus, nor did he patiently try to guide it into accepting the System's steed binding. He simply took out his phone and dialed the number of the Hero Association Headquarters.
He prepared to inform the Hero Association to collect the corpses and take away the chattering Allosaurus.
Worked overtime until half-past ten, came back and found that a naughty boy tipped me ten thousand Qidian coins. Startled me! You're truly naughty. Alas, it seems there are no bonus chapters for now. I'm so sorry. Am I also naughty like this? When this goes live, I'll make up for the extra chapters (just kidding!). Also, thank you to fellow reader 20170326170651522 for the tip. Thank you for your support!
