Chapter 1042: 16.88 First Red Star - Savage Beasts
Esther Dawn and Mayonaka Yoru had captured their own prey. They made the decision to seek for their younger siblings. The size of their prey is ranked in the first stage of the trial, not who returns to the city earliest. Pulling a dead dinosaur in ice was no trouble for Mayonaka Yoru, who had reverted to his Beast Shape. After all, he is an adult werewolf.
He can even demolish a large structure with a headb.u.t.t.
They searched for the other two couples as his Luna sat on his back. Mayonaka Yoru sought to follow their scent and climbed the mountain as well. The two had no idea why their younger siblings had ascended the mountain.
With a dark expression Esther Dawn said, "Isn"t this the one on the way to the mountains? That"s the territory for the Pterodactyls. Aren"t those Carnivorous Bird-type Dinosaurs?"
"If their opponent is on air those guys would be in a bind. Should we climb up too?" Mayonaka Yoru said.
Esther Dawn said, "Leave our prey and run up the mountain. Even if someone stole it we can just capture whatever is on the way."
"Don"t worry. Even if they capture it I"ve put my Elemental qi in the Ice. It can only be melted by me. Not even fire can melt it." Mayonaka Yoru said as they left the frozen Triceratops and ran up to the mountains to find those hard headed siblings of theirs.
Esther Dawn said, "I"ve already warned them not to target carnivorous dinosaurs."
"Don"t worry. We can find them. Hold on tight, I will increase my speed." Mayonaka said while Esther Dawn hugged his lover"s neck as the running speed of Mayonaka Yoru increased.

Meanwhile, Asher Light and Amber Dawn found their prey. They saw a small group of Stegosaurus. They immediately hid and observed them from their hiding place. Among the three Stegosaurus Dinosaurs in front of them, two are big and one is small.
Asher Light asked, "Which one should we try to catch?"
"The small one. It"s not like we can pull the big one back to the city. We don"t have enough strength." Amber Dawn said.
Asher Light asked, "Should we try summoning a familiar?"
"What should we do if there aren"t any concept of summoned creatures in this world? Are we allowed to explain it?" Amber Dawn said.
Asher Light said, "It would be better if Conri or Brother Yoru is here. We can ask for help pulling it back. Should I go at it now?"
"I will drag it out quietly. You kill it in an instant." Amber Dawn said, preparing to control the trees and plants in the vicinity to silently capture the baby Stegosaurus.
Little tree roots from surrounding trees began to move. The Stegosaurus were aroused and peered around, but all they saw were swinging tree roots and branches. They a.s.sumed the tree was simply growing and opted to ignore it. It started eating again. Amber Dawn used her wood powers to quickly trap the Baby Stegosaurus. She covered the Dinosaur"s mouth before it could squeal.
Asher Light and Amber Dawn were overjoyed that they had grabbed their prey without drawing attention to themselves. They drew away from the two adult Stegosaurus as they s.n.a.t.c.hed their infant. When a darkness dropped above their heads, the Holy Son had already drawn his sword and was going to slaughter the Baby Stegosaurus. Amber Dawn initially mistook it for clouds, but as she glanced up, she saw a flying Pterodactyl plummeting down at them, exactly targeting their baby Stegosaurus.
"Look Out! Danger!!!" Amber Dawn screamed as he pushed Asher Light.
CAAAAWSSS~
Amber Dawn"s eyes widened in shock and immediately pushed Asher Light on the path together with her. They can only watch as the Pterodactyl took their prey away.
"What the h.e.l.l!? That"s ours!!"
What they didn"t expect is that this Pterodactyl was about to fly away when it heard Asher Light"s complaints and threw the baby Stegosaurus towards them.
CAAAWS~
"What the f.u.c.k!?"
THUD!!!
In astonishment, the two avoided, and the tossed dinosaur was half dead. Who wouldn"t want to? How high was it when it was flung from the sky to the ground? A section of its body had broken open, allowing blood to stream. It didn"t take long for the aroma to become more powerful. The Pterodactyl didn"t even stop there, and the enraged bird-like dinosaurs began a.s.saulting Asher Light and Amber Dawn as they fled. They were caught off guard as it dove to the ground and attacked them.
"Ah!! This crazy dinosaur!" Asher Light yells in annoyance.
Amber Dawn also didn"t look in a good mood and retorted, "Why did you even scold it!? Now it has changed its prey from the Baby Stegosaurus to us..."
"Who would expect it to even understand me?!" Asher Light said.
Amber Dawn said, "Enough talking! Run to the mountain peak. We must catch it off guard and kill it!"
"Sweetheart, you"re so fierce!" Asher Light cheered. He ended up receiving a pinch on his waist as he run away.
Pinched! Aaahhh~

At the Mountain Peak...
Conri Lycaon and Carnelian Dawn were gazing about for their objective when they realized they had ascended the incorrect mountain, which was thought to be devoid of Pterodactyls for some reason.
Carnelian Dawn pouted at their situation, "This is already the same Mountain Peak on the map. How come there aren"t any Pterodactyls on here?"
Carnelian Dawn was the one who held and preserved the map supplied by Esther Dawn all this time. Conri Lycaon was unconcerned and let his lover play with him. He also antic.i.p.ated seeing a lot of Pterodactyl nests on this mountain, but it was much more barren than he imagined. Instead, the terrain at this summit appears to be excessively dry, and the aroma is revolting and nauseating as if he had entered the country of the dead.
Carnelian Dawn stepped on something and tripped.
Ahh!!
Conri Lycaon immediately helped him up and said, "Are you alright? Let me see if you are hurt?"
"I"m fine. I just tripped on something. Just what the h.e.l.l tripped me!" Carnelian Dawn shouted when he saw the dirty white head form in his palm and gripped the creature that had caused him to fall. It seems to be a skull, but neither of them can identify what sort of skull it is.
GYAAA!!!
"A bone! A head bone! It"s a skull!! What the f.u.c.k why is something like this here!?"
Carnelian Dawn screams in astonishment and terror. Even though he had murdered innumerable creatures from their Original world previously, he had only seen corpses, never immaculate bones like these. When they took another good look around. They spotted several mounds of bones spread over the region and quickly recognized the threat that this mountain peak posed to them.
"So many bones... Are these all dinosaur bones!?" Carnelian murmured.
Conri Lycaon who knew more was frowning as he investigates the bones on the ground and sees how clean it is from the flesh. Clearly, the flesh on these bones was gnawed until it was clean, and only carnivorous dinosaurs or savage beasts do such a thing. But based on how minimal the presence of other Creatures in this land, he knew that it was most likely the latter instead. This made things even more dangerous for them.
Conri Lycaon felt something was wrong and asked his Luna for the map. "A"Lian, lend me the map."
"Okay. Here is the map!" Carnelian Dawn said.
As soon as the map ended in Conri Lycaon"s hands I read it. His face turned whiter as it went. Even Carnelian noticed that something was wrong with his lover.
Carnelian Dawn asked, "What"s wrong, Conri?"
Conri Lycaon"s palm suddenly covered Carnelian Dawn"s lips and motioned for him to be silent. The young Werewolf king is taken aback when he sees where they are on the map. They weren"t in the mountain ranges where the Pterodactyls live, but rather on a solitary peak in the map"s red zone. One of the lands ruled by the ferocious beast king. It was here that King Tyrannosaurus Rex lived and fed.
Conri Lycaon a.s.sumed his Beast form, and a ma.s.sive White Wolf resembling Yoru"s Beast Form appeared. The only difference is that his fur has some navy blue accents. He persuaded Luna to climb on his back.
Confused, Carnelian Dawn asked, "What"s wrong, Conri?"
What they didn"t realize was that the vicious beast that owned this territory had long been aware of their presence. It didn"t attack them right away and instead examined them from a distance because it had just finished feeding. This Savage Beast had treated them as emergency food and was studying the two as they approached his cave when they abruptly stopped their movements and were clearly ready to flee. The King Tyrannosaurus Rex became agitated and emerged from its hiding place.
GRAAOOOOO~!!!
Carnelian Dawn"s face turned pale as he recognized the dinosaur that appeared before him and Conri, "HOLY MOLY!!! WHAT THE h.e.l.l... A TYRANNOSAURUS REX!!!"
Conri Lycaon bolted as soon as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which rules over this mountain summit, emerged. He flees with all his power, his Luna, Carnelian Dawn on his back. Despite their speed, the T-Rex clearly had no intention of letting them go and running after them.
The two couples flee from danger; one is being pursued by an adult furious Pterodactyl, while the others are being preyed on by the King of Savage Beasts, a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Everyone in the audience who was watching the fun was taken aback. How did the four kids get the King of the Sky and the King of the Land after their b.u.t.ts?
Everyone in the city was baffled, even Great Elder Tuya and Keylan Light, who felt his temples throb excessively from witnessing such a disaster.
"One is an adult Pterodactyl and the other is the King of Savage Beast, a T-Rex. How can these brats b.u.mp on them just like this!!"
"That Pterodactyl is an incident. The T-Rex those two got lost in his territory no wonder it was very angry. That Savage Beast treats anything that enters its land as his food. Those two would be chased unless that Savage Beast is killed."
"What should we do? Should we help those children!?"
"But it is forbidden to get involved in the trials!"
"But they are in danger!!!"
While the other warriors are contemplating whether to help or not, a huge white lion runs out of the gate carrying a young man on its back. It was Baishi and Leafy.
"That"s Warrior Baishi and his Mate, Priest Leafy! Are they going to save those guys?"
"I saw them in the restaurant eating together at the Dinosaur Restaurant last night. Maybe they are friends?"
"Idiots! What are you still looking at!? That"s a Savage Beast. A Savage Beast! The one in our history!!"
"Are you still going to watch the children fight it on their own!?"
The warriors screamed, not agreeing with the remarks. They all dashed back to their own homes and grabbed their weapons. In a matter of minutes, the majority of the city"s soldiers had fled to defend the children and chase the Savage Beast. Tuya, the Great Elder, did not stop then as the Beast G.o.d warned him of another problem on the opposite side of the forest. In the opposite danger zone, a few young warriors who had lost their dread of Savage Beast planned to hunt them down, just as Founder Xuebao and Founder Meizhou had done previously. They desired fame, which led to their deaths.
