Chapter 329 125: Physical Body Evolution — Dragon Shadow

This was also one of the bracelet's abilities!

"Forty times!"

The trio's expressions changed when they saw the gravity reading on the bracelet.

The gravity here had reached an astonishing forty times normal.

Such terrifying gravity could instantly immobilize a Low-level Martial Artist, maybe even crush them to death.

A strange stone forest and insane gravity!

The trio's expressions grew more solemn.

Under the terrifying forty-fold gravity, even Chen Yu felt heavily suppressed.

However, his body was so tough that even gravity forty times that of the Ancestor Star only affected his movements.

It wasn't too big of a problem!

Dongfang Yao and Zhuge Qingtian also quickly adapted to the dreadful gravity in the stone forest.

Within the stone forest, paths branched out in all directions like the veins of a human body.

From the outside, it didn't seem like much, but once inside, it felt like entering a massive labyrinth.

Each megalith was separated by a certain distance. They looked randomly placed, yet they seemed to follow some sort of underlying rule.

Besides the intense gravity, there didn't seem to be any other problems here.

But since they couldn't use their abilities to scout, for now, they could only rely on their instincts.

"Uh... which path should we take?" Zhuge Qingtian asked, looking at the fork between the giant rocks and then at the other two.

Chen Yu stared at the fork, feeling a headache coming on.

With so many forks, choosing one was indeed difficult.

But they had to choose.

'Since we've come this far, we have to see it through.'

"Let's take this one," Dongfang Yao said, pointing to a path.

"Oh? Did you find something?" Zhuge Qingtian asked, looking at her.

Dongfang Yao shook her head. "No, I just picked one at random."

"..."

"If they're all pretty much the same, let's go with this one. Just be careful," Chen Yu said.

'There's nothing to distinguish them, so we can only choose randomly.'

'If we run into anything, worse comes to worst, we'll just smash our way through.'

The trio took the path Dongfang Yao had chosen and headed deeper into the stone forest.

"Something's not right... the gravity is still increasing..." Chen Yu quickly noticed a problem as they walked.

The deeper they went, the more terrifying the gravity became.

After just a few hundred meters, the gravity had jumped again, reaching a staggering forty-five times normal!

"If this keeps up, won't it be over a hundred times at the core?" Chen Yu's expression was grim.

The two beside him had naturally felt the increase in gravity as well.

If it kept increasing, it would likely be very difficult for even them to bear.

Enduring it was one thing, but experiencing such insane gravity was far from pleasant.

"What's that?" Suddenly, Dongfang Yao pointed to a fork in the path beside a megalith, and the others followed her gaze.

A mass of silvery liquid was floating in mid-air.

It seemed to be alive.

The basketball-sized mass of silvery liquid looked like mercury.

SWOOSH!!!

But just then, the floating liquid suddenly attacked the trio.

Three silver beams shot toward them, seemingly unaffected by the gravity.

A sense of danger rose in their hearts.

VMMMM—!

In the nick of time, a powerful Life Force Field erupted, blocking the incoming silver beams.

HISS...

Just then, the distant mass of silver liquid transformed, and a human-sized monster appeared before their eyes.

Its body was entirely silver, but its eyes were crimson.

Though only the size of a person, it exuded a terrifying aura.

Level eight!

"What is this thing?"

"A Star Beast?" Zhuge Qingtian couldn't help but ask as he looked at the human-sized monster.

It was human-sized, completely silver, and... very ugly. It looked just like a goblin from the movies, only it was silver.

"Man, this thing is ugly!" Zhuge Qingtian clicked his tongue.

"ROAR!!"

Hearing this, the goblin-like monster let out an enraged roar. The next second, the ground trembled and instantly formed an earthen cage, trapping the three of them inside.

"Damn you! How dare you judge me! You will die!" an angry voice boomed.

BOOM—!

Upon hearing the monster's voice, Zhuge Qingtian gathered lightning in his hands, formed it into a ball, and instantly blasted the earthen cage apart.

Just then, the silver monster charged toward Chen Yu and the others at extreme speed.

SCHLICK—!

Chen Yu drew his Tang knife. With a flash of the blade, the charging silver monster went still.

Decapitated!

The sharpness of the Extraordinary Weapon had severed the monster's head.

An instant kill!

'Thirty million...'

Watching his Source of Life increase, Chen Yu's gaze fell upon the monster's corpse.

A level-eight monster yielding thirty million Source of Life wasn't bad.

Only some special life-form beasts could break the hundred-million mark.

"That's it?"

Zhuge Qingtian and Dongfang Yao were both surprised, seeing the silver monster killed in a single strike.

It had seemed very powerful, but in reality...

It seemed even weaker than a typical Star Beast of the same level.

Its only special trait was probably its immunity to the terrifying gravity here.

VMMMM—!

Chen Yu opened his palm and directly stripped the silver monster of its Life Force. A shining Life Light Group emerged.

He kept two-thirds, splitting the remaining third between the other two.

Fusing it with their Force Fields, the trio's Life Force increased a little once more.

With a flick of his finger, he sent out a burst of Qi that instantly shattered the corpse on the ground, turning it into silver dust.

"There might be stronger ones. Be careful," Chen Yu said, gripping his knife and looking at the other two.

They both nodded, and then the three continued deeper into the stone forest.

——

SCHLICK—!

With a flash of the blade, another silver monster fell before Chen Yu.
