Prehistoric Behemoth (Second Update)
Qin Yanan cried out in distress, but all she saw was Liu Chang'an seemingly powerless to fight back. The fists of Kee and Peel, accompanied by their cackling laughter, landed solid, producing dull thuds as flesh collided.
Liu Chang'an was like a punching bag for the boxers, being brutally beaten between the two. Qin Yanan could even see Liu Chang'an's head being smashed horizontally onto his shoulder by a heavy punch from Ji!
If Liu Chang'an hadn't given the order, Qin Yanan would definitely have already acted on it by now. Although she had a special physique, it hadn't been developed yet. Even if she wasn't their match, Qin Yanan wouldn't have let it go.
He could Longevity two thousand years, and even time could not take away his life. What was a mere fist? Qin Yanan watched the heart-wrenching scene, clutching her chest nervously, forgetting to breathe.
Kee and Peel seemed to harbor a raging, typhoon-like hatred for Liu Chang'an, and in the end, they even slammed Liu Chang'an into the ground with their fists.
"Damn it! I thought we could smash him into mincemeat!" Peel stood up, panting. Undoubtedly, this barrage of attacks had taken its toll on him.
"He has superpowers too! Now we've flattened his muscles, bones, and internal organs!" Kee laughed maniacally. "He'd be a flat, lifeless sticker on the wall!"
Peel glanced at Ki, and the mania on his face finally subsided, revealing a hint of tenderness.
"You... what did you do to him?" Qin Yanan could no longer control herself. She trusted and respected Liu Chang'an immensely because she was not allowed to interfere on his orders. But at this moment, she felt as if a giant hand was squeezing her heart, gently kneading and squeezing her blood vessels, torturing her. It was the owner of that giant hand who was making a cruel and mocking laugh in her ear.
She was absolutely fearless, but now she didn't know what to do. She wouldn't leave, she wouldn't run away—she would rather die than do that—but she really couldn't resist jumping down to see how he was doing!
"There's one more..." Ji looked meaningfully at Qin Yanan on the rooftop.
"She has a nice figure." Peel patted Kee's butt.
Ji chuckled twice, making a sound as saliva rolled around in his tongue.
Qin Yanan took a deep breath. Her view was blocked by the two monsters, so she couldn't see Liu Chang'an in the pit behind her.
But her hearing was fine; she could hear the leaves rustling in the night breeze, the small animals, snakes, and ants crawling on the decaying leaves, making soft, rustling sounds. The seemingly quiet valley under the night sky actually had many movements, including a faint, lazy sigh.
Many times, when Liu Chang'an expressed his helplessness, when he reluctantly agreed to her requests, when he rolled his eyes at her annoyance, Qin Yanan would hear such a soft sigh.
I hadn't realized that I had already formed such a deep impression of his words, actions, and many other details.
Key and Peel slowly turned around. Behind them was the huge crater where Liu Chang'an had been smashed into the ground. A pile of soil was rising, rocks were being pushed aside, and something was about to break out of the ground.
As if summoned by the rain and the season, spring buds pushed open the soil with emotion, but Kee and Peel did not think so. They had clearly smashed Liu Chang'an to pieces, as if a human skin contained vague fragments of flesh, organs and bones.
A hand, clenched into a fist, pushed through the soil.
He opened his arms, grabbed the edge of the clod of earth, and slowly climbed up. He poked his head out, his eyes looking left and right.
He climbed out of the pit; Liu Chang'an was invincible.
"You bastard!"
Enraged, Ki and Peel were about to rush forward and continue beating this seemingly indestructible cockroach when they suddenly stopped in their tracks and stumbled backward.
Because Liu Chang'an is transforming!
Liu Chang'an's body swelled dramatically, his shadow lengthening under the lamplight, his massive form resembling a giant beast emerging from the darkness.
Two meters!
Three meters!
Five meters!
Ten meters!
The explosive growth in size and height finally stopped, and Ki and Peel stared in disbelief at the powerful creature before them.
"Good girl!" Liu Chang'an looked at Qin Yanan, who was standing on the rooftop, and praised her.
Qin Yanan, on the contrary, plopped down on the ground. Liu Chang'an in front of her was simply too shocking. He even said he wasn't as exaggerated as the Hulk! He was much more exaggerated than the Hulk!
Liu Chang'an ignored Qin Yanan and looked down at Peel and Kyle.
"Have you ever seen a prehistoric behemoth?" Liu Chang'an asked gently, noticing the fear in Peel and Key's eyes.
Peel and Key retreated, their once-proud, massive bodies now resembling helpless infants.
"That's me." Liu Chang'an raised his hand and slapped Peel and Kee into the dirt twice.
They were not dead, but completely embedded in the ground, their flesh torn, bones broken, and internal organs ruptured.
"I wanted to grow taller a while ago, but considering that my strength would increase and my control over my body would decrease, what if I accidentally turned into a monster? So I just stupidly did aerobics every day to slowly grow taller." Liu Chang'an squatted down, poked a hole in the soil next to him with his finger, and said, "But seeing what you all look like today, I'm itching to experience what it felt like to be a prehistoric behemoth... Not bad."
"You... you're a monster!" Kee gasped for breath.
"What exactly are you?!" Peel stared at Liu Chang'an in utter disbelief. They were merely bio-engineered bodies, but this was already the limit of what their modified skeletons could support in terms of weight and body size balance. How could this three-story-tall monster have been created?
"I've been a human for many years, so naturally I'm just a person, neither a thing nor a monster." What Liu Chang'an is is for him to define; who cares how others define him?
Liu Chang'an made a large hole with his fingers, pulled out Pi and Gil, first divided them into several parts, then rolled them into balls and stuffed them into the hole. He covered them with some soil, patted the area around them, tidied up the soil, fallen leaves, and bricks to restore the terrain, and then clapped his hands to indicate that he had succeeded. If they could still come back to life like this, then it wasn't biotechnology, it was divine magic.
After doing all this, Liu Chang'an looked up at the starry sky. When the body size is different, the perspective is not just higher. The scenery in front of him has become smaller, as if it is a miniature world, while the starry sky above him gives people a more profound and vast feeling.
Just like the world before the emergence of humankind, all plants and animals were enormous, until disaster struck and wiped out one species after another. At that time, the starry sky above was just like it is today, not much different, coldly and eternally watching over the small, colorful Earth.
"Did you hurt your butt?" Liu Chang'an turned to ask Qin Yanan with a smile.
