He found a naturally ford tree hollow, cleared out the decaying leaves and debris at the bottom, and then squeezed in, ready to spend the night.
This giant tree had a diater of over twenty ters, which, if laid horizontally, would have the height of a seven-story building. The tree hollow was five ters wide and four ters deep. A tree of this kind would easily enter the Guinness World Records on Earth, but here they were commonplace.
"Great giant, it's so dangerous here," Shell Lady whispered.
I know that too.
"Don't worry, the great giant is here!" Chen Shouyi comforted her.
Saying this, he took out a bed and pillow from his storage, and began to make the bed. He planned to have a good rest tonight to conserve his strength.
"Hmm!" Shell Lady replied, jumping off Chen Shouyi and crouched curiously at the tree hollow entrance, her eyes cautiously scanning the surroundings. She suddenly noticed another pair of wary eyes staring tightly at her from within the underbrush.
Shell Lady felt Chen Shouyi behind her and wasn't afraid at all.
The two kept eye contact for a long ti.
After more than ten seconds, the grass shook.
A small girl, about the sa size as Shell Lady, with a flickering and semi-transparent body, erged, her clear and beautiful eyes cautiously and curiously examining Shell Lady.
The two stared at each other wide-eyed.
Shell Lady's mouth gaped in disbelief; it was her first ti seeing a similar being her size.
"Who are you?" Shell Lady demanded loudly.
"And who are you? I've never seen you before?" the little girl responded.
"My na is Little Dot," Shell Lady said.
"I don't have a na. What is that you're wearing?" the little girl asked enviously, eyes fixed on Shell Lady's dress, which was so pretty.
Having sothing to show off, Shell Lady twirled with pride, "This is called a dress, and I have lots and lots of them!"
Chen Shouyi was puzzled upon hearing the voices and turned to see another... Shell Lady. How could there be such a thing here?
The mysterious Little Dot was extrely cautious. As soon as he turned, her flickering, semi-transparent body instantly vanished into thin air.
"What a magical ability!"
Even he couldn't figure out how she disappeared.
"Little Dot, who was talking to you?" Chen Shouyi asked.
Shell Lady rembered sothing and grew vigilant, quickly responding, "A bad Little Dot."
The great giant was her own giant and couldn't be taken away.
Chen Shouyi imdiately saw through her small thoughts and found it amusing: "How bad?"
"She'll bite you, and it will hurt," Shell Lady thought for a mont and said, "I'm the best. If I see her again, I'll hit her."
Chen Shouyi chuckled at her words.
A small shadow erged from behind the tree, seething with anger, her eyes flaming.
...
The night grew deeper.
Outside, the occasional beast roar pierced through the air like a steam whistle, terrifying and powerful. Inside the cave, Chen Shouyi seed unfazed, sweating profusely as he practiced the Horizontal Training Thirty-Six thods repetitively. After finishing ten sets, he stopped, panting heavily.
He opened his attribute panel.
Strength: 21.5
Agility: 21.5
Constitution: 21.5
Intelligence: 21.3
Perception: 21.2
Will: 21.1
Energy Accumulation: 30.89
Faith Value: 2656.3
Three days had passed in the other world, and five days had passed on Earth.
In these few days, the Faith Value had skyrocketed, increasing by five hundred points daily, clearly indicating that the promotion had begun.
Thinking about entering the Forbidden Land tomorrow.
He pondered for a mont and allocated two thousand points into Giant Transformation.
As the heat wave subsided.
The originally 10.01% Super Giant Battle Body.
Turned into 12.01%.
Better than nothing.
At that mont, he sensed sothing, looking outside the cave to see the little one curiously observing him from not far away. When she noticed his gaze, she instantly vanished into the air like a startled cat.
Chen Shouyi chuckled but didn't mind.
After a short break and so at paste, he resud his training.
Soon, the mysterious Little Dot appeared again to watch Chen Shouyi, then shifted her eyes to the soundly sleeping Shell Lady, contemplating so plan.
Chen Shouyi trained until almost dawn before going to sleep.
The days and nights of the other world were too extended. Night lasted twenty hours, long for even an ordinary person, let alone Chen Shouyi, who typically needed only three to four hours of sleep.
Nothing happened throughout the night.
The next day, before it was fully light.
Chen Shouyi was woken by the chittering argunt of the two Little Dots.
"I've already given you a dress, there's no more. You better leave," Shell Lady said, "Once the bad giant wakes up, he'll eat you."
Chen Shouyi couldn't help but feel exasperated, his face darkening.
"Then why hasn't he eaten you?" the mysterious Little Dot asked skeptically.
"Because... because..." Shell Lady stamred, "because I'm a good Little Dot!"
"I'm a good Little Dot too."
"You're not."
"I am!"
"You're not!"
"I am!"
...
Like a broken record, the two Little Dots repeated this a dozen tis.
Shell Lady grew anxious, realizing she wanted to take her great giant: "Then I'll give you another pretty thing, just go, okay?"
She flew onto the bed, holding a children's picture book above her head, and placed it in front of the other, enticingly flipping a page open: "Look here, isn't it beautiful?"
The mysterious Little Dot looked fascinated, pointing at a picture of an animal: "So terrifying!"
"This is a big rooster, very fierce, very fierce."
"And what about this one?"
"This is a big lion, very big, it can bite down a whole mountain."
...
The two little ones chatted enthusiastically and were soon engrossed together.
Shell Lady completely forgot her initial intention.
Until Chen Shouyi coughed, startling both of them, waking one up quickly and watching the other rapidly vanish into the air.
Shell Lady quickly flew to Chen Shouyi's shoulder, urging: "Great giant, let's go quickly."
"We're leaving soon," Chen Shouyi laughed.
He stood up, put the bed back into storage, and walked out of the cave. The sky outside was already bright, the forest shrouded in a light mist, with a faint scent of blood in the air, indicating the night had been far from peaceful.
After Chen Shouyi freshened up, he continued on his way.
The mysterious Little Dot kept her distance, following, as they were not far from the true Forbidden Land, only dozens of kiloters away. He didn't fly, just walked.
A hanging vine suddenly shot toward Chen Shouyi like a snake in a flash.
The next mont, a flash of a sword.
The vine was severed in two.
The cut vine thrashed around like a snake, a blood-like liquid oozing from its wound.
This seed to have poked a hornet's nest, as vines suddenly shot toward him from all directions, but they all missed. Chen Shouyi moved like an illusion, instantly leaving the range of their grasp.
An hour later, the distorted space was already visible from afar.
