The campfire flickered inside the cave.
Chen Shouyi was training, while two clever little ones lay on the bed beside him, with a children's math book spread out in front of them. One was teaching, and the other was learning, earnestly doing the math problems.
The sound of counting went on incessantly.
After practicing a few tis, Chen Shouyi stopped, turned to take a glance, and was speechless.
He wondered what it would be like to raise a group. It would probably be even livelier.
He rested for a while, ate so at paste, and continued training.
For so reason, when he trained here, he felt a mysterious energy accompanied the Original Force penetrating his body, and the training results were surprisingly good. After a few rounds, he felt sowhat hot and excited all over.
As night deepened, eerie screams could occasionally be heard outside, and now and then prying eyes swept over to this place.
Malicious, greedy, cruel, fearful, oppressive... Whenever those eyes swept over, the cave fell into dead silence, and the two little ones huddled together in fright.
Chen Shouyi ignored everything, his expression unchanging.
A dozen minutes later, he walked out of the cave.
In an instant, he transford into a grand Giant over forty ters tall and roared loudly.
The sound echoed through the sky like a foghorn, shattering the surrounding leaves into pieces. Countless shadows were frightened away like a retreating tide. Soon the entire forest fell silent, completely quiet.
"Finally, peace."
The transford Giant Chen Shouyi glanced around, ready to shrink his body back and return to the cave.
"Roar!"
Just then, a loud roar ca from afar, carrying a sense of provocation.
Unwilling to show weakness, Chen Shouyi let out an even more thunderous roar.
This area still belonged to the outskirts of the forbidden zone, and for Chen Shouyi, who could barely contend with dium Divine Power, there was nothing to be afraid of.
After all, dium Divine Power is already at the top of the pyramid in the Tam World, not just anyone.
Above that, there is only Powerful Divine Power.
Though the forbidden zone is dangerous, Chen Shouyi believed that the most terrifying existence could probably only match with Powerful Divine Power.
They roared at each other a few tis. Finding Chen Shouyi's voice louder, the other fell silent.
Chen Shouyi shrank his body and returned to the cave.
The second little one's eyes sparkled, mouth forming an 'O'.
"Is the little one's Giant powerful?" The Shell Lady boasted.
The second little one nodded vigorously, saying softly, "He's my good Giant now too."
"Mine!" The Shell Lady imdiately disagreed.
Why is soone always trying to take her good Giant when the good Giant is clearly hers?
"No!"
"Mine!"
"No!"
...
Just as the two little ones were happily playing, they quickly got into a scuffle again, fighting fiercely.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shouyi couldn't be bothered to pay attention, expecting they'd soon reconcile.
...
In the following days,
Chen Shouyi continuously ventured deeper into the forbidden zone.
The creatures he encountered were increasingly bizarre and strange, and each day his mood grew more restless. For so reason, an unease lingered in his heart, as if pressing forward involved great danger. anwhile, he felt as though sothing ominous was happening to his body.
Yet upon careful examination, he found nothing unusual.
A massive corpse lay on the ground in the distance. As he approached, countless colorful poisonous insects quickly fled.
Glancing at it, Chen Shouyi was about to pass by, but suddenly halted.
The corpse had not been dead for long, the bloodstains were still quite fresh.
However, what Chen Shouyi found peculiar wasn't its death, but the corpse itself.
He couldn't quite describe it.
Perhaps only absurd and grotesque could describe it.
The corpse was bloody, entirely skinless, with bones exposed all over, even the brain and internal organs were laid open, as if the whole body... was inverted from inside to outside, left to right.
Thinking carefully, a chill crept over him, his scalp tingling.
In the distance, his eyes flashed with fear. A large area of space there appeared massively twisted. Its minute curvature within his line of sight had gone unnoticed. He hadn't imagined it as a lethal, invisible trap.
The vast distortion of space in the distance caused an inversion of inside and out.
One could imagine, when the corpse reached here, it was likely still alive. Perhaps in its original environnt, it seed normal, but as it ran towards here, space attributes gradually converted, until its blood was exhausted and it died.
Even until death, it likely didn't understand why it had perished.
As not only its body, but its consciousness reversed too.
Similarly, as an outsider attempting to enter the opposite side, Chen guessed he'd face the sa fate.
Space is a fundantal force, the basis for matter's existence. Any change in space would affect the matter within it.
Recalling all the strange, bizarre, grotesque creatures on his way, a chill surged within Chen Shouyi's heart.
Perhaps, it wasn't them who were grotesque, but rather... himself.
It was he who unknowingly had been affected by the distorted space.
Chen Shouyi decisively retreated, skirting far around this terrifying spatial trap.
...
"Boom!"
Chen Shouyi threw a punch at the monster, but it agilely dodged.
A giant tree with a diater of over ten ters was struck by the gale from the punch and collapsed with a crash, showering the area with splintered wood.
The monster resembled an upright lizard, with an odd, flamboyant tail on its head. Its forearms bore fish fin-like fleshy wings, making it extrely agile in the air.
Emitting a dreadful energy wave, the surrounding electromagnetic field was chaotic, gravity warped. Wherever it passed, countless plants withered and died, transforming into life energy that poured into its body, appearing quite terrifying.
Yet at this mont, its face was filled with fear as it gazed at the formidable and massive Giant before it.
It could not comprehend why soone with such power would play possum, wasn't this clearly harmful?
If it had transford into a Giant earlier, it would have long fled in terror, not dared to hunt.
"Giant…" It was about to plead for rcy.
Before the words could escape,
The air abruptly blurred, a flaming punch furiously struck forth, as if the entire heavens and earth pressed down.
Chen Shouyi remained expressionless, delivering punch after punch.
Each punch descended like a teorite, causing the mountains to crumble and the earth to shatter.
Every punch drove up red-hot, high-pressure air columns, even affecting kiloters away. The terrible shockwaves churned the surrounding air into a bubbling stew.
The monster dodged a few punches with effort but was severely jarred by the shockwaves, spurting a mouthful of blood.
Its form inevitably stuttered slightly.
The next mont, a punch struck it solidly, instantly imparting energy equivalent to several tons of TNT into its body. Its eyeballs burst, internal organs, muscles, including bones, were shattered to pieces.
The entire corpse flew backward rapidly like a ragdoll.
