Chapter 646 620: Overestimating Oneself
Chen Shouyi became increasingly cautious in his heart.
In fact, even here, any ordinary legend who came carelessly could die; the place was packed with terrifying creatures, and massive footprints and skeletal remains could be seen on the ground at times.
Colorful poisonous insects and lurking fierce beasts—a forest where even the trees weren't always safe.
He saw with his own eyes a giant-like tree using its roots as legs, walking slowly, each step causing the ground to tremble.
Of course, for Chen Shouyi, being a bit cautious was enough.
The second little one seemed accustomed to the place, much braver than the Shell Lady who dared only to hide in Chen Shouyi's arms, always following at a distance, wherever he went.
Chen Shouyi didn't bother with her.
Considering her mysterious talent abilities, perhaps there wasn't much danger.
He came to a halt in front of a large tree.
This was an ancient tree, with a trunk over thirty meters in diameter filled with layers of cracks, some so wide they could fit several people, within which countless bizarre bugs crawled and made their homes, turning the tree into an entire ecosystem.
Of course, it wasn't these that made Chen Shouyi stop.
A space distortion extending from afar affected half of the tree, with a smooth wave spanning ten meters in diameter, the fluctuation amplitude only about 0.1 millimeters—the whole tree looked normal at a glance.
Chen Shouyi drew the Shadow Sword and probed into the space fluctuation.
He sharply noticed the sword slightly deforming, but once withdrawn, it returned to its original shape.
"It seems the space fluctuation itself isn't dangerous." Chen Shouyi mused.
Like a worm crawling over uneven ground, it isn't the worm but the earth that dictates the shape; when on flat ground, the shape naturally recovers.
"The danger lies in the disorientation caused by the space distortion!"
This distortion not only twists matter but also sight and consciousness; while in the distorted space, one can't perceive the distortion.
If the distortion encompasses a vast range and penetrates deeply, even gods would be lost within, unable to come out.
But since he decided to come, having already resolved beforehand, there was no reason to hesitate.
Chen Shouyi took a deep breath and stepped in, feeling no trace of anomaly in his body as if the space fluctuation didn't exist.
In fact, the distinction between the Forbidden Land and the outside was indiscernible—a slow and gradual change, perhaps even before entering, he was already within its range.
Space distortion had been too weak earlier for Chen Shouyi to notice—an area even larger than the whole Earth.
"Crackling…"
A thick arc struck a tree out of nowhere, charring its surface.
The atmosphere was charged with a frenzy—Original Force here was extremely chaotic, agitated, often unleashing energy, inducing a faint sense of unease.
...
"Ah, fresh flesh and blood not belonging here."
An ominous and terrifying voice sounded in his ear with the breeze, seemingly sighing, or moaning.
Chen Shouyi frowned, glanced around: "Who? Come out?"
The forest was dark and sinister, the trees so gigantic that the space was vast, yet he looked in all directions without glimpsing the voice's owner.
"This is the resting land of gods; all intruders must die… must die…"
"Playing tricks!" Chen Shouyi said coldly, "Courting death!"
At that moment, the ground slightly trembled, and booming sounds echoed from afar.
One to two kilometers away, a blue hand with sharp claws stretched up from the ground, soon a massive body crawled out—an eight to nine-meter Giant, her protruding chest indicating it was female.
Her body was covered in yellow tumors, horrifying and gruesome, seaweed-like hair hid her face, only a pair of silver eerie eyes visible.
With her appearance, a maddening aura spread.
"Little one, stay away." Chen Shouyi said.
"Okay."
The Shell Lady swiftly flew from his chest, phantasm-like flying backward, while the second little one had already vanished into thin air.
Chen Shouyi tore off his clothes and strode forward, his body swelling step by step.
"Overconfident…" Only halfway through the wicked voice, it abruptly stopped, her hair fluttered revealing a skeletal face, silver eyes filled with terror.
The opponent's body continued to expand.
Ten meters…
Twenty meters…
Forty meters…
The earth trembled, arcs flickered across the body.
Her eight to nine-meter stature even reaching the other's knees, she backed away step by step, slightly shivering, full of regret for provoking such an existence.
...
Hundreds of meters away, the Shell Lady cautiously hid in the hole of a large tree.
Soon, the second little one swiftly appeared.
"Why do you keep following us?" Seeing the other, the Shell Lady forgot her fear, angrily said, "The good Giant won't like you."
The other's presence greatly amplified her sense of crisis.
"Then why does he like you?"
"Because the little one is pretty, cute, and smells good!"
The second little one puzzled, looking at the Shell Lady, indignantly said, "Then I'm also pretty, cute, and smells good."
"You don't!"
"I do!"
"You don't!"
"I do!"
...
Repeated over ten times.
The Shell Lady was enraged: "The little one will hit you."
They were both little ones, she dared not fear.
"You can't beat me." The second little one said fearlessly.
The two locked eyes for a second.
Next moment, the two little ones clashed together.
The second little one's strength surprisingly barely less than the Shell Lady's.
"Boom!"
A loud crash echoed from afar.
The two little ones quickly disengaged, their tiny heads poking out of the hole.
"My good Giant is the strongest!" The Shell Lady proudly glanced at the second little one beside, snorting twice.
The second little one looked at the gigantic distant figure, remaining silent, her mind quietly scheming.
...
The blue Giant had at most the strength of Weak Divine Power—not enough against Chen Shouyi.
Just as she prepared to flee, he swiftly chased her down.
With a giant foot, engulfed in dense air, he kicked her away.
"Boom."
Her body crashed against the trees like a shredded bag.
She bled profusely, spine shattered, other bones unknown how many were broken.
Before she hit the ground, a falling hand from the sky clasped her head.
In the next second, he squeezed hard.
With a "crunch," her entire head exploded.
Chen Shouyi coldly scanned the surroundings, the covert peering vanished without a trace.
...
