Revisiting the Ruins

In the dim and oppressive Ruins world, black fog permeated the air. Jiang Hou appeared out of nowhere at the edge of a shattered giant creature's skeleton, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

No monsters, and no people.

Good, Jiang Hou quickly took off his clothes and placed them under a rock, marking the spot.

There was no other way. When he transformed into a giant ape, his clothes would be torn to shreds. Each transformation wasted a set of clothes, and Jiang Hou didn't have that much money.

Although Qin Buyi's salary and benefits were good, the pressure of supporting two high school students was still considerable, especially since both of them would be going to college next year. Therefore, the Qin family saved every penny they could.

"Poor," Jiang Hou sighed.

Roar! A low, deep roar exploded, the air vibrated, and a five-meter-tall Black Tyrant Ape appeared, its eyes cold, filled with violence and ferocity.

Transformed into a giant beast, Jiang Hou clenched his fist, feeling the powerful force emanating from it, and inexplicably felt a sense of liberation.

It seemed more comfortable to be a giant beast!

Roar! The Black Giant Ape shook his head, throwing away the strange thoughts in his mind, and then looked up at the direction of the Ruins where the Black Ant Ferocious Beast were entrenched.

During the day, Jiang Hou discovered that his digestion speed had also increased in human form, allowing him to absorb and convert more energy from food.

However, the energy converted from three meals a day was still less than a small piece of meat from the Black Ant Ferocious Beast.

Those Black Ant Ferocious Beast seemed weak, but their flesh and blood contained amazing heat, or rather, energy. Jiang Hou felt that eating a Black Ant Ferocious Beast was equivalent to eating an elephant.

Therefore, after some thought (a few seconds), Jiang Hou decided to enter this dangerous world again.

The reason was simple: he wanted to become stronger.

Before yesterday, Jiang Hou had originally thought that he would live his life like his previous one: go to college, graduate, work, and then live an ordinary life.

But now his fate had changed.

He had to seize the opportunity to become stronger, strong enough to control his own destiny, to decide his own life and death, instead of continuing to live aimlessly.

On the ground, the Black Giant Ape took heavy steps across the architectural Ruins, carefully exploring the area behind.

The surrounding black fog was pervasive, and visibility was limited, so he couldn't just rush around, because he couldn't be sure if there were any terrifying creatures lurking in the black fog.

For example, the monster that instantly killed Jiang Hou at the beginning. Even now, he still felt a chill rising from his tailbone when he thought about it.

That monster was very strong!

However, the Black Giant Ape's caution was somewhat unnecessary. After walking several kilometers, he couldn't see a single weed, let alone a monster.

This scene made the Black Giant Ape a little puzzled. What did those monsters in this barren world rely on to survive? Drinking the northwest wind? In his confusion, the Black Giant Ape climbed a hillside, and the scene in front of him changed. A forest appeared below.

The forest was composed of black trees of varying heights. The tall trees were one or two hundred meters high, their crowns spreading out to cover a large area. The shorter ones were also dozens of meters high, with thick trunks and no leaves, their branches twisted.

The forest was also filled with black mist, and it was unknown how large it was.

But none of this mattered. What was important were the figures of the several Black Ant Ferocious Beast below. Their slender bodies and ferocious heads made the Black Giant Ape feel inexplicably close to them.

However, the Black Tyrant Ape did not rush over rashly, but continued to observe the surroundings for a while. Only after confirming that there were no other monsters did he slowly stand up.

Bang! The ground cracked, forming a pair of huge footprints. Under the force of the recoil, the Black Tyrant Ape soared into the sky and slammed heavily into the foot of the mountain.

Boom! The powerful impact stirred up billowing smoke and dust, and the four Black Ant Ferocious Beast let out uneasy roars. At the same time, a thick black arm reached out.

Bang! The head of one of the Black Ant Ferocious Beasts was directly crushed, and the splattered dark red blood stained the giant ape's palm red.

The death of its companion instantly turned the eyes of the other three Black Ant Ferocious Beasts red. They let out frantic roars and pounced directly at the Tyrant Ape that had appeared before them.

Roar! An even more ferocious roar exploded.

The corpse of the Ferocious Beast whose head had been crushed was swept out, sending one Ferocious Beast flying. At the same time, the Black Giant Ape leaned back, using its thick shoulders to meet the other two Black Ant Ferocious Beasts that were pouncing from the air.

Boom! The 'three' Ferocious Beasts crashed heavily into the tree trunk. The powerful force caused the thick tree to shake violently, and the bodies of the two Black Ant Ferocious Beasts exploded like watermelons.

Having killed two Ferocious Beasts with one blow, the Black Giant Ape, half of its body stained red, slowly turned its head and looked at the Black Ant Ferocious Beast struggling to get up in the distance, squatting down on its legs.

Roar! The Black Tyrant Ape jumped high, its massive figure spanning more than ten meters, and stepped on the Ferocious Beast that had just gotten up.

Puchi!

The three-meter-long Black Ant Ferocious Beast's head and tail turned up and folded in half, blood and flesh spraying from the middle, and its four legs and claws struggled in the air for a moment before ceasing to move.

The forest immediately fell silent.

Only the Black Giant Ape remained, slowly lifting its foot, bending down, grabbing the corpse of the Ferocious Beast, and tearing into it with large bites.

Strands of dark red blood gathered and flowed on the Black Giant Ape's body, dripping down along its black fur, making the scene appear extremely bloody and brutal.

The vibrations and roars from the battle just now gradually dissipated after traveling only a few dozen meters.

This was also the reason why the Black Giant Ape dared to be so unrestrained. It had noticed last time that the black mist had the effect of absorbing vibrations and isolating sound.

Crack, crack!! The Black Giant Ape chewed on the Ferocious Beast's cartilage, making a crisp sound. At the same time, streams of heat spread throughout its body from its stomach, and its figure grew larger at a visible rate.

Moreover, this growth was not just in size. The Black Giant Ape's body density also increased, and its body became heavier and heavier.

Soon, the Black Giant Ape had eaten all four Ferocious Beasts, leaving only the fleshy parts. Some skeletons and some internal organs were scattered on the ground.

In fact, these things were not low in nutrition, but there was no way. The Black Giant Ape couldn't bring itself to eat those colorful intestines or anything like that. It had a psychological barrier.

Huff! The Black Giant Ape exhaled a breath of hot air. The energy converted from this blood and flesh made its body a circle larger, and its height increased by about ten centimeters.

Its muscles were stronger and full of explosive power.

It was just that its defense was a little lacking. After all, the giant ape's skin could not compare to scales and armor.

Not enough, it needed more. Feeling the more powerful force within its body, the Black Giant Ape looked into the depths of the forest, its eyes gradually turning red, becoming increasingly violent.

Stepping with heavy steps, the Black Giant Ape walked towards the depths of the forest.

Soon, the roars of giant beasts and the howls of Ferocious Beasts rang out. A few minutes later, the Black Giant Ape sat on the ground, tearing a Black Ant Ferocious Beast's corpse in half.

In front of it were piled five Black Ant Ferocious Beast corpses, dark red blood flowing down from the corpses, forming a winding stream.

Coupled with the oppressive atmosphere of the forest, the Black Giant Ape sitting under the black tree, devouring blood and flesh in large gulps, seemed inexplicably terrifying.
