Barbaric Planet

In the wild, humid jungle, the massive trees blocked most of the sunlight. In the dimness, a figure was frantically fleeing, weaving through the trees, trying to shake off the threat behind him.

The earth trembled faintly. Just as the figure ran past, a huge black shadow chased after him, the pitiful trees collapsing at its touch, offering no resistance whatsoever.

The breaking of the trees created a small clearing, and the sunlight shone down, revealing the face of the huge black shadow.

It was a bizarre four-legged monster, its body twice the size of an ordinary elephant. Its huge, narrow face had eight eyes, and a blood basin mouth large enough to swallow a bicycle, with a row of constantly wriggling tentacles growing from its chin.

Horror and ugliness were Shen Jun's only impressions of this monster.

Shen Jun had been transmigrated to this hellish place for three days. It was full of strangely shaped beasts, and the one chasing him now wasn't even the biggest.

He hadn't closed his eyes for three days, constantly evading these monsters. Fortunately, there seemed to be no small species here; he hadn't seen any mosquitoes or the like, which meant he hadn't been too disheveled for the first two days, avoiding detection by hiding among the trees.

But just ten minutes ago, Shen Jun, unbearably thirsty, had plucked up the courage to drink water from a relatively open stream. He didn't care if the water was drinkable; he scooped it up and gulped it down.

As a result, he was discovered by that four-legged monster, and then the thrilling chase began.

Shen Jun fled in a panic, only knowing to run towards places with more trees. He even ran into other monsters, almost getting surrounded, but they all seemed to fear the four-legged monster, not daring to snatch its prey. They retreated on their own as soon as they saw the four-legged monster.

That's how Shen Jun had survived until now, but as he passed through a bush, he found himself facing a second four-legged monster...

"Roar!"

With a roar, the monster lunged straight at Shen Jun with its blood basin mouth, and at this moment, Shen Jun had no time to dodge!

The monster's massive body blocked out the sky above Shen Jun, and it was so close that he could almost see every wriggling tentacle on the monster's chin, and smell the fishy stench emanating from its bloody mouth.

"Am I going to die..."

Shen Jun wanted to cry but had no tears. Why was God playing him like this? He had transmigrated inexplicably, and hadn't even been given a golden finger, and now he wasn't even being given a life!

No, why did you make me transmigrate if you wanted to kill me? Isn't that redundant!

Just as Shen Jun closed his eyes and waited for death, a mechanical voice rang in his ears.

"Crouch down, human."

Instinctively, Shen Jun crouched down, then remembered that the monster's neck was very long and flexible, and it could swallow him even if he lay on the ground, so what was the point of crouching?

A bitter smile appeared on his face. Shen Jun didn't expect to have auditory hallucinations at the moment of his death. Maybe it was just his wishful thinking.

"Bang!"

Death didn't come. Shen Jun heard a collision and quickly opened his eyes, only to see that a patch of bushes in front of him had fallen, and the two four-legged monsters had collided.

It turned out that the one behind him had also pounced over. If Shen Jun had remained standing, he would have been torn apart by the two monsters, but crouching down had allowed the two monsters to collide in mid-air.

The one behind him was clearly larger, and knocked the other one away. The smaller one had quite a temper, and the collision had obviously angered it. The two monsters wrestled together, which allowed Shen Jun to escape with his life.

"Roar!"

A completely different roar came, and upon hearing it, the two monsters immediately stopped tearing at each other, turning solemnly towards the direction of the roar.

A beast resembling a saber-toothed tiger with six eyes walked out of the depths of the dense forest, its body even larger than the four-legged monsters, the ground shaking as it moved.

Unfortunately, the direction the saber-toothed tiger was coming from was opposite to the four-legged monsters, with Shen Jun in the middle, which was truly a dead end.

The saber-toothed tiger's gaze was focused on the two monsters from the beginning, not even glancing at Shen Jun.

"Roar! Roar! Roar, roar!"

The two monsters roared madly, trying to make the saber-toothed tiger leave.

"Roar!"

The saber-toothed tiger didn't seem to care about the four-legged monsters at all, letting out an even louder roar. The four-legged monsters lowered their bodies, seemingly very wary of the saber-toothed tiger, unwillingly roaring as they retreated and disappeared into the jungle.

Shen Jun lay down, trying not to attract the saber-toothed tiger's attention, and slowly headed towards the jungle in the other direction.

"God bless me, don't let it see me..."

Facts proved that he was overthinking it.

The saber-toothed tiger reached Shen Jun in two or three steps, but it didn't attack him immediately. Instead, it circled around Shen Jun twice, seemingly quite curious about this never-before-seen species.

Shen Jun's legs couldn't stop trembling. He only hoped that this six-eyed giant saber-toothed tiger had already filled its stomach and would quickly leave after satisfying its curiosity.

"Human, feel the Psionic Energy within you."

Suddenly, the mechanical voice sounded again. Shen Jun was shocked. Could it be that he hadn't been hallucinating just now?

What the heck is Psionic Energy? I don't have it! Have you been playing too much StarCraft?

"Human, your body contains a vast amount of Psionic Energy. You can control it. Try to sense it. This is your only hope for survival."

"What? Who exactly are you? How do I sense Psionic Energy?"

Shen Jun vaguely felt that his golden finger might be coming. It seemed that God was still taking care of him.

"En Taro Adun! Human, my name is Rohana, and I am the Highest Protector of the Protoss."

"What? You said you are Rohana! Could it be that this is Aiur?"

Shen Jun said in shock. Moreover, that honorific title... Did he transmigrate into the StarCraft universe?

"No, to be precise, I am a Purifier Copy of Rohana, existing within you in the form of an Overmind. In your understanding, it's similar to... a chip? Or a system or something."

"This is not Aiur either... but I suggest we talk about these things after the threat is resolved. I will first teach you how to sense and control Psionic Energy."

A stream of information entered Shen Jun's mind. Under Rohana's control, Shen Jun didn't feel the sensation of his brain exploding. On the contrary, he easily understood this information.

"Psionic Energy is a talent inherent in all living beings. This talent is like a fuse or a wire, naturally determining the upper limit of a creature's Psionic Energy. Hard work can only improve the ability to control Psionic Energy."

"The mind is the hand that operates Psionic Energy, the body is the strength of the hand, and Psionic Energy exists in the universe..."

At this moment, the giant saber-toothed tiger had been observing for a long time and realized that Shen Jun had no other characteristics besides being small. It immediately lost its patience and revealed a fierce expression.

Despite its enormous size, the saber-toothed tiger was faster than a cheetah, swallowing Shen Jun almost instantly, not even bothering to chew.

Sticking out its tongue to lick its mouth, the saber-toothed tiger felt that it wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth and decided to go elsewhere to find something to eat.

"Awoo!"

Having only taken a few steps, the saber-toothed tiger fell to the ground, howling in pain. A blue halo was emanating from its abdomen, seemingly the source of its pain.

"Tear!"

A tearing sound came, and a hand pierced through the saber-toothed tiger's abdomen, tearing a large hole. Shen Jun, covered in blood, crawled out from inside, his hands covered in a layer of blue light.
