Clang! Clang! Clang!
Emerald-green crystal spikes poured down in a dense barrage, slamming into Humungousaur's back and throwing off brilliant showers of sparks.
After growing to colossal size, Humungousaur's strength and defense had risen dramatically. The raised bone plates along his back could withstand most physical attacks.
Diamondhead's crystal "downpour" shattered the moment it struck him, exploding into fragments like crushed jade and scattering across the ground.
"Damn it! How can his body be this tough?" Diamondhead gritted his teeth, clearly shocked by Humungousaur's durability.
At that moment, Humungousaur clamped the woman in black stockings in his mouth and hugged the bus tightly, striding away from the lakeside to put distance between it and the dark water.
"Big dinosaur, help me!" the woman struggled desperately.
From her neck down to her ankles, her entire body was held in his mouth, leaving her feeling both humiliated and flustered.
"Stop yelling. If you keep it up, I'll drop you," Humungousaur said indistinctly, his voice muffled with his mouth full.
The strong scent of expensive perfume assaulted his senses nonstop. He decided that once this was over, he absolutely had to rinse his mouth out properly.
After tanking Diamondhead's crystal sword rain, Humungousaur carried the massive bus all the way to the roadside, leaving behind a literal "crystal road" in his wake.
He gently set the bus down on the safe stretch of pavement.
Inside, the passengers felt a violent jolt, but it quickly settled.
Seeing the powerful dinosaur save them yet again, they immediately burst into cheers.
"Oh yeah! The big dinosaur is amazing! He's a super hero!"
"Ahhh! Big dinosaur, I'll take care of you! My family's rich and my house is huge. Come live with me!" a young wealthy woman shouted, pressing herself against the window.
"I'm obsessed with big bro! I'm crazy for big bro! I'd smash my head against the wall for big bro!"
"This is great, we're saved again! Dinosaur brother is way too reliable!"
"I want to raise a big dinosaur too…" the white-haired girl murmured, her bright eyes sparkling as she stared at Humungousaur.
...
After setting the bus down, the first thing Humungousaur did was reach into his mouth and carefully pull out the woman in black stockings.
She was completely soaked, her body covered in his saliva.
"Ptoo! Ptoo! Ptoo!" Humungousaur spat several times in a row.
The woman was both embarrassed and irritated, wishing she could crawl into a hole and disappear.
She knew why the dinosaur was acting like this.
But putting that aside, it really wasn't her fault either…
"Lucian, our fight isn't over yet!" Diamondhead's voice rang out from behind.
Humungousaur turned his head, his gaze sharpening.
"Roar!"
With a thunderous roar, Wildmutt burst out of the lake, white spray exploding behind him as he lunged viciously at Kevin from the rear.
Caught completely off guard, Diamondhead was slammed straight to the ground.
When enemies met, their hatred burned even hotter. The two quickly tangled together again, their clash shaking the surroundings.
"You all need to leave. This place is too dangerous," Humungousaur waved his hand, signaling the passengers to go.
With that, he turned and headed toward the fight.
The woman in black stockings hesitated for a moment, but seeing the big dinosaur about to leave, she gathered her courage and shouted after him.
"Big dinosaur, thank you for saving me. And I'm sorry… I shouldn't have—"
Humungousaur didn't turn around. He simply waved his hand, signaling that it was fine.
That cold, resolute back sent the female passengers into full fangirl mode. Screams rang out as they refused to leave, pulling out their phones to start taking pictures.
They then racked their brains for captions, posting to their feeds with selfies attached.
The white-haired girl, for example, first posted a photo of Humungousaur, then a selfie of herself. After that, she leaned against the bus window, flashed a peace sign, and snapped a photo with Humungousaur in the background.
Three photos in total, posted with the caption:
[Another day as a damsel (#^.^#) saved by a big dinosaur]
The woman in black stockings and the other female passengers posted as well. The photos were similar, only the captions differed slightly.
[Girls, when you meet such a mighty big dinosaur, you just fall in love instantly!]
[This is unreal, guys. The bus went out of control today and we almost died, but Dinosaur Brother saved us! (tongue-out emoji)]
[Such a cute dinosaur guy, totally in love. I really want to take him home and raise him (^▽^)]
[I'm seriously traumatized, fam. Just wanted to take the bus to Mister Food Street for milk tea, and I ended up running into two monsters!]
...
Naturally, Humungousaur couldn't care less about any of that.
He strode forward on his thick legs, tail swaying as he headed toward Wildmutt and Diamondhead.
By the lakeshore, a crowd of bystanders had already gathered. Though fear flickered in their eyes, overwhelming curiosity kept them at a distance, unwilling to leave as they excitedly watched the monsters clash.
Before long, the Rustbucket came roaring in with a thunderous engine noise. It slammed on the brakes, pulled off a flashy drift, and finally screeched to a stop by the roadside.
Grandpa Max and Gwen jumped out. Spotting the battle by the lake, they hurried over at once.
"Roar!"
Wildmutt was soaked from head to toe, lake water dripping off his body, but it didn't slow him down in the slightest. If anything, it only stirred his feral instincts.
He leapt forward, slashing with his claws and shattering the incoming crystal spikes. Then he raised both arms high and brought them crashing down.
Diamondhead let out a cold snort.
"Ben Tennyson, you think that's enough to deal with me?"
As he spoke, he thrust out one hand, which transformed along the way into a crystal meteor hammer.
Bang!
Wildmutt, still midair, had no chance to dodge. He was struck head-on and sent flying backward like a kite with its string snapped, hurtling away at high speed.
"Hahahaha! That was pathetic!" Diamondhead laughed smugly, planting his hands on his hips.
Suddenly, his body stiffened.
A massive shadow swallowed him whole, as if something enormous had appeared right behind him…
