“Click…” From a crack that had just seen a surge of prehistoric beasts pouring out, a claw at least a hundred meters long reached through. This was clearly a prehistoric giant beast, but in the next instant, it disrupted the stability of space. After all, this time the starry sky giant beast hadn’t had time to stabilize the spatial passage, and with a fluctuation, that claw was instantly severed. Only an unwilling roar, as if echoing from ancient times, could be heard.

In another crack, a one-legged Kui ox could be seen, its whole body flickering with thunder, wind, and rain. It looked this way but didn’t charge in.

No more questions, no more hesitation—Kevin Walker turned and ran…

Chapter 5: Prehistoric Beast Tide

At this moment, he finally understood why his arrival had been so smooth. Damn it, it must have been the deterrent effect of the star core from that starry sky giant beast, or perhaps the star core was affecting those cracks…

When he first arrived, Kevin Walker felt that he could leap seven or eight meters in a single bound, sprinting faster than a cheetah from before the prehistoric era. The feeling of his physical abilities being comprehensively enhanced was incredibly exhilarating.

But now, Kevin Walker felt as if he was moving so slowly. Even though he changed direction several times while running, trying to find a way out of the chaos, it was simply impossible in the face of the overwhelming tide of prehistoric beasts.

In fact, Kevin Walker had only run a few hundred meters and changed direction twice before he was suddenly kicked flying by a nasty, sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced evil ape leaping from a tree behind him.

Spinning through the air, before he could even land, he was slammed away with a bang by a creature sixteen or seventeen meters long that looked very much like a mammoth.

At that moment, Kevin Walker felt like a small boat facing monstrous waves in the ocean. For those giant beasts on the run, crashing into Kevin Walker didn’t even make them pause for a second.

“Pfft…” Kevin Walker was like being hit by a land battle tank, spitting out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his insides were burning.

As he tumbled through the air, he saw in the sky a prehistoric winged dragon, its wings spanning over a dozen meters, being hunted by a flock of birds less than a meter long, each with long, sharp claws, their numbers so vast they blotted out the sun.

Hearing the rumbling below and feeling the terror of the prehistoric beast tide, Kevin Walker knew that the moment he hit the ground, he would be trampled into a pulp, with absolutely no chance of survival.

But in the dizzying instant after spitting blood, as he fell from midair, Kevin Walker regained his senses.

Kevin Walker was not a weak person. The weak give up in the face of adversity, but someone like Kevin Walker would persist until the very last moment, fighting for his life even in the face of death.

In this life-or-death moment, Kevin Walker’s mental power condensed as never before. The sea of consciousness he had awakened early but could neither use nor control suddenly felt within his grasp.

At that very moment, Kevin Walker suddenly felt as if everything around him had slowed down. This was the powerful effect of his highly focused mental power and the strength of his sea of consciousness.

In an instant, Kevin Walker noticed a prehistoric beast to his left, with a neck four or five meters long, a body shaped like an oval ball, and two legs two or three meters long. It was bouncing and running, protecting itself very well.

Most importantly, its next landing spot was not far from where he was about to fall.

“I’ll turn!”

At that moment, Kevin Walker twisted his body in midair with all his might, forcibly changing direction as he fell, and landed dangerously right on top of that long-necked beast.

“Bang!” The long-necked beast’s body sank downward, almost toppling over, but its body was like a balloon, and its self-control was astonishing. In an instant, it bounced up again.

The moment he landed, Kevin Walker desperately grabbed onto the few tufts of hair on the creature’s body, clinging tightly to its back.

It was a narrow escape from death. After spitting out several more mouthfuls of blood, Kevin Walker finally managed to stabilize himself on the long-necked beast’s back. As he cleared his head, he quickly realized that perhaps his luck was turning.

Because he had chosen a prehistoric beast that was obviously very smart and skilled at escaping. Its jumping ability was terrifying—sometimes it could leap over trees more than twenty meters high.

Soon, Kevin Walker discovered that its body had only inflated during the beast tide to withstand the impact. Once it was out of immediate danger, it shrank down like a deflating balloon, its neck retracting to just over a meter. At times like this, its jumping ability became even more terrifying.

Clinging to the back of this prehistoric beast, Kevin Walker quickly gave it a new name: the prehistoric long-necked bouncing beast.

This creature could really jump. Kevin Walker suspected that if he weren’t clinging to it for dear life, it would jump even more wildly. Even now, Kevin Walker felt like he was bungee jumping over and over again.

While holding onto its back, Kevin Walker was amazed to find that this creature was highly intelligent, not just blindly bouncing around. Its sudden lateral movements and evasive maneuvers in the face of aerial attacks were almost miraculous.

As a top student who had started studying movement techniques during his journey here because of his own leaping and speed, Kevin Walker couldn’t help but study it closely—the more he observed, the more amazed he became.

But Kevin Walker didn’t have long to marvel. After bounding out for more than ten miles, the beast tide behind them gradually began to split up, and the threat lessened. The prehistoric long-necked bouncing beast, praised by Kevin Walker for its intelligence and jumping ability, found two trees that were very close together.
