Up ahead, one of them seemed to have either an injured leg or some sort of illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It ran with a strange gait and was a fair bit slower than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Du Yu was about to catch up and kill it with a spear thrust...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziwen stopped Du Yu. \"Let it go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of the other Single Claw Dragons up ahead were already fading into the distance; their burst of speed was faster than they had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After rounding a corner, the lone Single Claw Dragon suddenly veered left and vanished from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziwen stopped and looked in the direction the creature had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that it had ducked into a branching path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path wasn’t very wide, only enough for one or two people to walk abreast. Any beast slightly larger would be unable to pass through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader, should we go in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\" Qin Ziwen thought for a moment before deciding to give chase. ’This path probably isn’t very long. When we scouted from the air, we didn’t see any major branches. A long side path like this would have been obvious.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They followed the Single Claw Dragon’s path. The terrain sloped steadily upward, and years of wind had filled the bottom of the narrow passage with a thick layer of sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After climbing the sandy slope and rounding two corners, the path ahead suddenly opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had reached the surface. Looking back, they saw they were now on the opposite side of the rift valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The limping Single Claw Dragon was running toward the far slope of a rocky hill nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That must be it,\" Qin Ziwen said, leading the others forward. \"Be careful. If that’s their nest, they might not run this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Qin Ziwen’s words, everyone—except for Du Yu and a few others who were already on alert—tightened their grip on their weapons and adjusted their packs, readying themselves for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SKREEE!\" At the crest of the slope, a Single Claw Dragon appeared and shrieked a warning at the approaching humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its cry, a dense swarm of nearly thirty or forty Single Claw Dragons immediately rushed out from behind the slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pack was a mix of sizes, with the larger ones over a meter long and the smaller ones not yet a meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The limping Single Claw Dragon, which had been hobbling back to the nest, looked dumbfounded as its pack mates charged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The largest one, a full head taller than the others, strode forward and, with a flick of its tail, swatted the limping creature to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shrieked angrily at the downed creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it led the rest of the pack to surround the humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"KAW!\" \"KAW!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horde of Single Claw Dragons let out a cacophony of cries as they closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see what happens,\" Qin Ziwen said, leading the group back. He planned to circle around and get a look at the Single Claw Dragons’ nest behind the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the humans retreat, the Single Claw Dragons, which had been holding their ground, suddenly grew bold and charged forward in pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziwen halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave the pack of Single Claw Dragons a surprised look. ’So they’re like dogs, bullying the seemingly weak and fearing the strong.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed. \"Alright, no more retreating. Let’s slaughter them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group raised their Long Spears and charged toward the encroaching Single Claw Dragons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SKREEE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first few Single Claw Dragons were the fastest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziwen thrust his Three-pronged Fork downward. It took almost no effort to pierce the Single Claw Dragon’s abdomen and hoist it into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he slammed it onto the ground, smoothly withdrawing the Three-pronged Fork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spurted from the chest of the Single Claw Dragon on the ground as its body convulsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his front right, another Single Claw Dragon charged, its hard beak aiming for Qin Ziwen’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Long Spear shot out from behind him. Qin Ziwu had intercepted it, lifting the Single Claw Dragon on his weapon. The impact jarred his arm; he felt like he’d just speared a charging goose. With a low grunt, he flung the creature to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SKREEE!\" A harsh cry came from the left as the Single Claw Dragon leader’s sharp claws slashed at Yuan Ming’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jacket was instantly torn to shreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dajun swung his Wolf Fang Club, smashing it against the leader’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow sent the leader sprawling. Its neck was twisted at an unnatural angle; it was clearly dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two or three charges, only five Single Claw Dragons were left standing. They shrieked fearfully from a distance, then turned and fled without a backward glance, not even daring to return to their nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the last of the Single Claw Dragons had fled, a pained cry came from Yuan Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, that thing’s kick really hurts! Hiss—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick check revealed that Yuan Ming was the most seriously injured. His side had taken a hit from the leader; not only was his jacket shredded, but his skin was a bloody mess, with three deep claw marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dajun was taking alcohol out of his pack to disinfect the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thing your jacket absorbed some of the impact,\" Zhao Pu said after examining the wound. \"It’s just a flesh wound, nothing damaged internally. You should take some antibiotics if you have any.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Dr. Zhao. How should I bandage this?\" Yuan Dajun was fumbling, so Zhao Pu took over and properly dressed the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yun teased, \"What’s your deal? Getting injured again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Ming scratched the back of his head. He had to admit he was pretty unlucky, seeming to be the most injury-prone member of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Yuan Ming, a few others had also sustained some injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were mostly just bruises from pecking. Since everyone was using long-range weapons, it had been difficult for the Single Claw Dragons to get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ziwen grabbed a Single Claw Dragon’s corpse by the neck and lifted it. \"So light. I’d guess it’s only a little over ten pounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No wonder they were so easy to deal with. They’re not even in the same weight class as a human.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yun examined it closely. \"Long neck and tail, short torso. Its bones are probably hollow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine’s heavier! Probably close to twenty pounds!\" Yuan Ming said, lifting the leader’s corpse. Compared to the others, this one’s claws were longer and its tail was thicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing off the pack, the group advanced and crested the far slope of the rocky hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foul smell wafted up from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the stench of feces mixed with the musk of a large avian colony, all baking in the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s an altar,\" Qin Ziwu said, his eyes lighting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the area behind the slope stood a square, grayish-white altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many nests were built around the altar, like bird nests in a desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nests were arranged in a neat, radial pattern, spreading out from the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piles of dry branches, rubble, and some shrubs were gathered near the nests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shallow trenches had also been dug between the nests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the nests, seven or eight Female Single Claw Dragons were letting out sharp cries, shielding smaller ones behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group descended the gentle slope. Under the wary watch of the Female Single Claw Dragons, Qin Ziwen mounted the altar and took the white Expansion Card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front of the Expansion Card depicted a lush, green grassland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Expansion Card] Grassland Expansion Card (Medium)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yue sighed. \"These Single Claw Dragons are way too weak. So much for ’dinosaurs.’ Aren’t there any tougher opponents?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the pebbles under their feet began to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of heavy footsteps grew from a vague rumble into a clear thudding. From around a rock pillar a hundred meters away, a pack of enormous, brown dinosaurs emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1352,"2026-06-05T18:54:16.969Z",1,"novelbin.me","4da922c17683d9e7433d271704a28717a494abeba85b4cb75305121b99b63c95","my-community-transmigrated-again-chapter-169","my-community-transmigrated-again-chapter-167",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-community-transmigrated-again-cover.jpg"]
