Chapter 212: “I’ll let you do anything…”

Laylania stepped out of the water, and rushed towards the vicious Allosaurus Fragilis, ready to get her claws bloody!

Irritated, the beast swung at her as soon as it saw her.

This dinosaur, or this species in general, was different from the Allosaurus Fragilis from the surface world. It had significantly longer arms, and claws in comparison, and it used that fact as an advantage, clawing Laylania across the face at the first chance it got!

Laylania did not budge, and kept charging at it at full speed, ramming the beast with her large, reptilian body, knocking it away from the lake by several meters!

Afterwards, she used the opportunity to land a bite on its back, and she refused to let go of it no matter what happened next.

Laylania had shifted into an Allosaurus Fragilis herself, so her bite wasn’t as effective as she was hoping it to be. Surface world, or underworld, this species was not known for having the strongest bite in comparison to other dinosaurs. She only managed to hold on to the beast until the rest of her crew came by.

The rest of her people, who had also shapeshifted into dinosaurs of various species, big and small, quickly picked up on what Laylania was doing, so they used the opportunity to start bitting, and clawing at the beast from all directions!

Five minutes in, and the beast finally fell to the ground, its body so messed up, and torn through that one would think someone had skinned it alive! It didn’t look like a dinosaur anymore, but just a huge ball of flesh!

Frustrated, the shapeshifters even started eating the carcass of the dinosaur. They chewed through half of it before they were satisfied, and considering that they just ate a few minutes ago, the fact was that they weren’t even hungry, just spiteful.

This violent beast had killed five of their people unprovoked. Laylania couldn’t even stomach looking at the dead bodies of the people they just lost. She kept looking away, and dreaded holding a funeral for them. They should not have died today, and did not deserve to die either.

Anyway, the shapeshifters had to change back to humans eventually. Ten of them remained as dinosaurs, just in case they got attacked again, but as for Laylania and other people high up in the ranks in her tribe, they had to pull themselves together, and manage the horrid aftermath of what just happened.

Jimmy approached them once the battle was over, and said, “I’m sorry for your loss, Laylania. I tried to stop it, tame it, but it was just too fast.”

“This is not your fault,” She sighed, “But I hope you understand how much we need your help. For fuck’s sake, I’m starting to understand it as well. We haven’t lost people to dinosaurs in many years. I blame myself for letting my guard down…”

“You can’t blame yourself,” He put his hand on her shoulder, “That bastard was blood thirsty. There was no stopping him, and we’d get eaten even if we had tried to tame him out there in the jungle.”

Afterwards, he added, “I’ll stick around and get some of the other dinosaurs to piss off. I don’t have much mana, but I bet I can convince a few dinosaurs that an even bigger dinosaur lives in the lake, one that can eat them whole. That should keep them away.”

“Yes, it will,” She nodded, “It might sound like a bad time to say it, but most dinosaurs are somewhat smart. If you convince a few of them that the lake is dangerous, they’ll spread the word to other dinosaurs, and they might just leave us alone…. I wish you could stay the night, though, we could really use your help down here… please…”

Feeling awkward, he said, “You know I can’t… Laylania.”

Jimmy could tell how desperate she was. Up until the prior battle, she had tried to trick him into staying, and since that plan hadn’t worked out for her so far, she slowly began begging, and pleading.

What made the situation even more awkward, was the fact that she was still absolutely naked. Shapeshifters didn’t need clothes, after all, and in this case, since she was far beyond feeling embarrassed about being naked, the way she begged him made this the most uncomfortable situation that he had ever been in!

In comparison, it was no different from abused war victims begging the authorities, or people of power for help. Jimmy was no government, but then again, how could he refuse the plea of a woman who spiraled into this condition?

She even made him a stunning offer, her voice stern, and direct, “If you help us, you can sleep with me tonight. I’ll let you do anything you want to me, I won’t say no. I promise.”

Although the nipples of her big breasts were looking at him like a pair of hungry cobras, her desperate charms did not work on him, however, he was already convinced to help her out, so the offer she made was absolutely unnecessary.

First, he said, “You don’t have to sleep with me, Laylana.”

As he saw a few tears breaking out of her eyes, he then quickly added, “But I will help you. Give me a few hours, and I will send some of my people to help you, my twin brother included.”

“Twin brother?” She parroted. “We’d much rather have you stay here, Jimmy.”

“I know that, but listen, my brother is a Dinosaur Tamer as well, and he can help you just as much as I can.” He added. “The question is, can you and your people hold your own for a few hours, before dusk at most?”

Laylana wasn’t willing to let him go, but it wasn’t like she could force him to stay here. She did not want to risk upsetting the only person who could help her people, so she tried to be enthusiastic about the offer he made.

She said, “Our mana runs out quickly, especially when we have to turn to large dinosaurs. We want to back away, and hide in the lake more than anything in the world, but there’s something going on here. We never had to deal with so many dinosaurs in a day, and I’m afraid we’ll run out of mana before you send your brother here. Can’t you just send your girlfriend to go and get him?”

“That… would be a bad idea.” He said. “He’s a bit of a hard-head, and will take some convincing, but I promise I’ll bring him here as fast as I can.”

“Okay…” She caved. “Please don’t abandon us, Jimmy.”

“If I was someone who abandons people, I wouldn’t come down here to begin with.” He wiped the tear away from her face. “Now calm down, and go talk to your people. You’re their Chief, and you can’t risk kicking their morale down lower than it already is.”

“Okay,” She nodded.
