Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 292: Melee Combat


After transforming into a Giant, his strength, constitution, defense, weight, and body size all increased proportionally.

He estimated that in this Giant state, his mass is now approximately fifty tons.

In terms of weight, in this world with three times Earth's gravity, if expressed in tons, it would be a hundred and fifty tons.

However, his agility decreased significantly.

On Earth, his agility only decreased by 0.4 points, but in this other world, it dropped by a full two points, reducing his reaction capacity to less than half of what it originally was. At this moment, he could clearly feel that his reflexes had become much slower.

Fortunately, it was all worth it.

In this state, his attack power was explosive, and his bodily defense could be described as terrifying.

Chen Shouyi estimated that even if a machine cannon attacked him, with his current defensive ability, it would be difficult to injure him, at most only break some skin.

He now dared to engage in direct confrontation with the God of Courage.

Of course, this refers to the God of Courage on Earth.

If it were in the other world, the God of Courage's power might also be magnified a thousandfold.

The Shell Lady hiding in the cave behind, hesitated repeatedly, several times flying up and then landing back down.

The good Giant who turned into a colossal Giant, in her eyes, was towering like a majestic mountain, making him strange yet intimidating to her.

She struggled internally for a long time, finally mustering the courage to fly towards Chen Shouyi's shoulder.

However, before getting close, she was blown into a tumble in mid-air by the chaotic currents surrounding Chen Shouyi, looking disheveled. Once she barely managed to control her body in the air, she noticed the sky turning dark.

An enormous hand that blotted out the sky swiftly descended, bringing a gust of wind with it.

The next moment, she found herself grasped by the Giant hand. When she recovered her senses, the Shell Lady realized she was sitting in the palm of the Giant.

Her size, compared to Chen Shouyi's palm, appeared even smaller than a cockroach.

"Good... good Giant, you... you've grown so big?" The Shell Lady stuttered, looking up at Chen Shouyi's gigantic head.

"So do you like it big or small?" Chen Shouyi asked smugly.

Although he intentionally softened his voice, it still sounded like muffled thunder, scaring the Shell Lady, causing her body to tremble, her face turning pale.

"B... big!"

At the Shell Lady's response, Chen Shouyi chuckled silently. It seems the more one lacks something, the more they desire it!

He was about to shrink his body when suddenly a sense of intuition struck him, and he quickly looked up at the sky.

He then saw a gigantic silver-white creature, neither bird nor serpent, hovering in mid-air.

Covered entirely in silver-white, it had a pair of wings and claws, a body covered in scales. In the night, it shimmered with a mysterious glow. Its neck was adorned with vibrant, multicolored mane, fluttering freely as it flew.

It resembled a fusion of the dragon from Great Xia Country's mythology and the feathered serpent from Maya mythology.

Mysterious, beautiful, yet full of danger.

This enormous creature had been seen by Chen Shouyi several times. It was the overlord of this forest.

However, it usually operated during the day and had never appeared at night.

But today, the massive commotion from Chen Shouyi's transformation, along with the threat he exuded, evidently startled it.

It hovered silently above his head, like a ghost in the dark, its eyes emitting a faint glow, appearing cold yet fierce.

"Just in time, I wanted to test the strength of this body," Chen Shouyi thought to himself, unafraid, instead excited to try.

The enormous body that once seemed intimidating now appeared not much different from his own.

Chen Shouyi looked down and softly said to the Shell Lady, "Little one, quickly go to the cave!"

"Oh! Oh!" she replied hurriedly, standing up in a panic, almost tripping over as she did, then clumsily flew towards the cave.

He looked back to check on her, slightly worried.

At that moment, perhaps sensing an opportunity, the enormous creature dove down rapidly, like a falling meteor, slicing through the thick air. In just a breath, it covered a distance of several hundred meters.

Chen Shouyi had just turned back, preparing to dodge, but his dull reflexes caused his actions to lag. He barely avoided the gaping maw aimed at his head, with his shoulder being grasped hard by its claws.

Sharp and harsh claws pierced his skin, creating a few shallow blood wounds.

Chen Shouyi's expression remained unchanged. He stretched his hands to grab the Giant Beast, but it agilely flew into the sky.

This Giant Beast, like an experienced old hunter, was patient yet cautious. The wild wind blew, making the surrounding trees sway back and forth, howling as it did.

"Damn it, I hate these flying creatures the most, completely lose the initiative," he muttered.

Chen Shouyi moved his body around, keeping his eyes fixed on the Giant Beast without blinking. He stepped back step by step, his foot stumbled on a massive rock, and he pretended to stagger slightly.

As expected, the Giant Beast attempted to attack once more.

Its incredible speed blurred its silhouette.

Its claws enveloped in mist-like air rushed towards him swiftly.

"Boom!"

With the sound barrier shattering.

Chen Shouyi stepped his left foot back, his foot sinking half a meter into the ground. He neither dodged nor avoided, enduring the blow despite injury, trapping its serpent-like body with his arms, twisting his body to sidestep its gaping maw.

Despite his formidable defense, only a few shallow cuts were torn across his chest.

"Got you!"

Chen Shouyi shouted fiercely, using all his might to slam downwards with his hands.

The entire thirty-meter-long enormous beast crashed into the ground with a thunderous boom, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Before it could take off again, Chen Shouyi quickly pounced on it.

This serpent-like creature, though its body was more than twice the length of Chen Shouyi, had less than half his bulk. In terms of tonnage or body size, it seemed "petite" compared to him.

He pressed its head down, discovering it was covered with a kind of flexible, slippery defensive field. His palm couldn't find the grip, sliding. He firmly held it down, raising his fist to strike it hard on the head.

Like the roar of a heavy cannon.

A tangible shockwave shattered the surrounding thorns, bushes, and dead leaves. Even distant tree branches shook violently.

However, it was a miss.

At the critical moment, the giant beast shook its head and broke free of the restraints.

At the same time, its snake-like tail had unknowingly wrapped around his body. Fortunately, Chen Shouyi noticed it in time, swiftly grabbing the slippery tail with his large hands, clenching it tightly, and with a burst of five to six hundred tons of force, crushed the scales on it and then fiercely flung it away.

"Boom!"

A large tree as thick as two people hugging it was snapped in half and crashed down with a rumble.

"Aow!"

The giant beast let out a shrill scream, scales flying, raised its head, opened its bloody mouth towards Chen Shouyi, and from deep in its throat, strands of blue-white high-temperature flames were faintly visible.

"Not good!"

Upon seeing these blue flames, a strong sense of crisis arose in Chen Shouyi's heart, and he shivered. He swiftly slammed its tail onto the ground.

The ground split open like ocean water, with countless broken leaves flying up, creating a long gully.

Unfortunately, the ground here was soft, covered with a layer of humus several meters thick. While it appeared startling, it did not cause much harm to such a powerful creature.

Next, Chen Shouyi decisively changed his target, exclusively choosing large trees to smash against.

The surrounding trees immediately suffered, one after another falling, and the beast's waist scales had all fallen off, leaving it bloody.

"Still not dead!" Chen Shouyi felt a bit surprised.

Unfortunately, he had no suitable weapon in his hand; otherwise, it might have been resolved long ago.

After smashing more than a dozen times, suddenly his face changed dramatically.

"Damn!"

He abruptly stopped his steps, then quickly turned and ran.

Barely taking two steps, his body started to shrink, and a strong sense of weakness arose spontaneously.

All the strength in his body was rapidly fading away.

By the fifth step, his body had returned to its original state, and he felt a sense of exhaustion throughout, his limbs becoming weak.

Using his remaining strength, he barely managed to continue running a few steps, bit his teeth, and leapt, his body crossing three or four meters, and fell to the ground. His legs gave way, and with a few rolls, he rolled into the cave.

He lay on the ground, holding his breath, staring blankly at the glowing fluorite above, his body motionless.

Actually, this cave was not safe either. To such a giant beast, the rocks here were little better than brittle biscuits; destroying them would be extremely easy.

Now he could only hope that the opponent did not find him.

...

The snake-like giant beast shook its somewhat dizzy head, its body curved and suspended, its wings barely flapping in midair.

Apparently, its flight did not rely entirely on wings.

It looked around cautiously, letting out a low growl, but unfortunately saw no trace of the giant.

It vented by spewing a torrent of blue-white flames from its mouth, directly hitting a large tree in front, which immediately burst into flames and within seconds turned to ashes.

After venting for a while, turning the surroundings into scorched earth,

It quickly flew up, circling around the area before flying back to its lair.

...

Chen Shouyi felt the oppressive atmosphere in the distance dissipate rapidly.

Only then did he take a long sigh of relief.

"That was close."

"I didn't expect the transformation ability to have a time limit; I must be careful in the future." Chen Shouyi thought to himself, feeling his body still weak, the feeling of exhaustion making him uncomfortable, as if all his energy had been drained completely, even making it difficult to breathe.

Chen Shouyi estimated the time; this transformation only lasted about five minutes.

Such a long time was already enough.

Earlier, most time was wasted experimenting, and the actual combat only took half a minute.

"Great giant, are you sleeping or about to die?" Once the giant beast left, the Shell Lady hiding in the small hole quickly flew over and asked worriedly.

Chen Shouyi glanced at the Shell Lady with a bit of annoyance, not wanting to speak.

"I'll give you a kiss, don't die, okay?" the Shell Lady said.

Smooch, smooch, smooch!

The Shell Lady kissed repeatedly.

"I feel much better!" Chen Shouyi opened his mouth weakly, his voice hoarse.

"Is it because I kissed you?" the Shell Lady asked dumbly with a silly expression.

Chen Shouyi immediately nodded slightly.

"Smooch, smooch, smooch… then get better soon, it's so scary here."

...

Chen Shouyi waited for more than ten minutes before his strength slowly began to return.

"So hungry!"

"This transformation seemed to have drained all the energy from my body, leaving nothing behind. Now I'm famished, can't do this for so long next time, it's too dangerous."

Supporting himself, he managed to stand up, picked up the sword from the ground, and staggered out of the cave, with the Shell Lady quickly flying up to follow.

More than ten minutes later.

Using himself as bait, Chen Shouyi finally lured an unfortunate otherworldly creature and stabbed its neck with a single sword.

...

"Finally full." Chen Shouyi patted his round and bulging belly, beside a heap of blood-stained bones.
