Right then, Long Yangjun's desperate roars echoed in the communication channel.
For a long time, Li Yao's impression of Long Yangjun had always been that she had two faces.
When she showed up as "Eunuch Wang Xi", she was the sordid, cunning, and sophisticated type, but when she showed up as "Long Yangjun", she was always grinning and fearless.
But whatever her face was, Li Yao had barely heard her roar in such exasperation and anxiety.
Even when the two of them played all their trump cards on the bridge of the Nuwa warship, she was not like this.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep! An intense wave of life appeared on Li Yao's light beam. It was much more intense than when the dozens of giant crabs woke up just now.
"Colossus, Biomass Suit!"
Without any hesitation, Li Yao activated the Soul Ignition Law to the highest level and summoned the Tartarean Skeleton from his Cosmos Ring. He also roared in the communication channel to remind the fellow Cultivators to perform the strongest form!
Hardly had he sat cross-legged inside the "spiritual residence" of the Tartarean Skeleton, and his soul had not been melted into the Colossus yet, when an earth-shattering explosion echoed from the deepest part of the dark pathway.
As it turned out, Long Yangjun's Colossus, "Yin Yang", had broken a solid wall of the pathway and flown out heavily.
On the Colossus, a hideous green-haired monster was tied up!
The remnants of the mustard-seed combat suit and the crystal suit were still hanging on the monster's body, but its body was expanding at a visible speed. Its wet skin was covered in a layer of bright green mucus. The flesh was torn apart, and vague dragon scales grew out of the wounds!
On his bumpy face, the mark of Sha Yue, a member of the research team, could be vaguely seen. But as his skull cracked, his entire face grew longer and longer, and the tip of his skull even grew a crisscrossing bone tumor. His expression also became colder and colder. The panic and pain that belonged to a human was quickly disappearing, replaced by a profound color that could not be described with words.
"Sha Yue! Sha Yue!"
The captain of the Exo squad shouted in the communication channel.
When the monster heard the familiar name, it slightly raised its head that was more than half a meter long. A trace of confusion flashed across its distorted face, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.
Just as he raised his head, he could clearly see him — his eye sockets were squeezed by the crazily proliferating bones until they almost disappeared. Pieces of broken white bones pierced through the skin, sputtering a large amount of dark green mucus. This mucus immediately hardened when it came into contact with the air, turning into a layer of hard black shell that covered the entire upper half of the skull, including the eye sockets.
The monster had lost its eyes and its last trace of humanity.
Long Yangjun's Colossus was of the high-speed reconnaissance type. It was the smallest Colossus of the twelve experts from the Ancient Sages Sector, but it was still almost ten meters tall.
The monster that had mutated from "Sha Yue", on the other hand, was only about five meters tall when it crashed out with Long Yangjun. But in the blink of an eye, it had already grown to almost ten meters tall, even larger than "Yin Yang".
It was covered in dark green scales from head to toe, and sharp green hair was growing out of the gaps of the scales. Its head, however, was long, sharp, and streamlined, making it look like a squid or an anomalocaris. It was exactly the legendary "yaksha"!
Li Yao, Meng Chixin, Wu Suiyun, Yan Liren, and the other users of the Colossi all locked onto the "green-haired yaksha" with their most powerful telepathic thoughts. However, since Long Yangjun was still entangled with it, they could not attack it right now.
"Don't!"
Sensing their overwhelming killing intent, Long Yangjun shouted in the communication channel, "Capture it alive and figure out the whole process of its mutation from a human being into a Pangu. It is of paramount importance!"
Dazzling brilliance burst out of the Colossus, burning the green hair on the enemy's body. Taking advantage of the opportunity, two enormous flying swords, one black and one white, stabbed into the enemy's ribs brutally and pierced out of the enemy's back. Like a pair of giant scissors, they clamped the entire spine!
Long Yangjun had truly performed all her trump cards except for the "Nuwa warrior". Flames of spiritual energy surged to a thousand meters in front of and behind the pathway. At the risk that sparks and electric arcs were popping up from the joints of the Colossus, she straightened herself and pressed the enemy to the ground brutally.
The two flying swords stabbed deep into the ground and fixed the "green-haired yaksha" to the ground, waving its claws and shrieking crazily, unable to move at all.
"It's a success!"
Long Yangjun exclaimed in the communication channel in excitement.
It was true that exploring the secrets of the primeval war and figuring out the relationship between the Pangu, the Nuwa Clan, and human beings might have a deeper meaning for her than for other people.
However, right then, every scale on the green-haired yaksha stood up. Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
Before Long Yangjun and Li Yao realized what was going on, thousands of electric arcs spurted out from its hundred and eight thousand scales, turning itself into a ball of lightning. Like a volcano erupting below Long Yangjun's bottom, the electric arcs pierced through the Colossus in the blink of an eye!
"Damn it!"
Not expecting that the "newborn" Pangu would be as tricky as the "original goods" that Li Yao encountered on Kunlun a hundred years ago. Li Yao had no time to bother with Long Yangjun's request to "capture it alive" at all. The Tartarean Skeleton darted out like an arrow, and the saber of black flames rushed out and hit the green-haired yaksha's extraordinarily long head in the most intimidating way.
The saber slashed down, but it seemed to have hit a dry tree. Half of the head rolled on the ground and was burnt into ashes immediately.
It seemed that turning itself into a ball of lightning and triggering electric arcs that could pierce through the Colossus was also the last attack that the green-haired yaksha performed at the cost of his life. After the attack, whether the enemy was dead or alive, he would certainly die and be obliterated.
"What a terrifying mutation.
"In only a couple of minutes, a human being less than two meters tall has been transformed into a Pangu almost ten meters tall who is capable of fighting a Colossus in melee combat!
"Furthermore, his mind has also been changed. Not only has all the feelings of human beings been deprived, he has even been given a brand-new target, allowing him to launch a suicidal attack without any hesitation."
Li Yao swallowed hard. The descriptions of Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, who had been there in person, were already shocking enough. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, it was ten times more unbelievable.
It was hard for him to imagine how the gene mutation drug hidden inside the body of the "giant crab" was made and how it could grant such terrifying strength to a human being almost "out of nothing".
Based on the conservation of matter and energy, the best that could be achieved was the transformation between different forms. Naturally, it was impossible to create something out of nothing. If a tiny dose of drugs could turn a human being into a member of the Pangu Clan, it meant that the ability to transform into a member of the Pangu Clan had been hidden deep inside the body of every human being since the beginning.
What was the relationship between human beings and the Pangu?
Was it really just like what Li Yao saw in the Kunlun relics a hundred years ago? Was it just a simple "master" and a "tool"?
"Cough, cough. Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Long Yangjun's intense coughs echoed in the communication channel.
Before he entered the Land of Eternal Night, Li Yao had performed a comprehensive examination on all the Colossi to ensure that every plate of armor on every Colossus was brand-new.
However, after the scourge of the super powerful electric arcs just now, the Yin Yang Colossus seemed to have been washed by a cosmic storm for three days and three nights. It was truly mottled and riddled with holes.
On the health monitoring system, Long Yangjun's biophysical index plummeted and could not have been worse. Her heartbeat, breathing, blood flow, and brainwave vibration were all close to the status of a patient in shock.
Hearing her coughs, Li Yao took a long breath in relief and switched to the point-to-point private channel. "I didn't know that even you would make such a rookie mistake. I thought that we had agreed before we entered the Pangu laboratory that we would throw a couple of tons of bullets and explosives at the first sign of trouble. 'Catch him alive'? This is a mutated Pangu! "
Long Yangjun was silent for a moment. Surprisingly, she did not argue back but simply asked gloomily, "Is he dead?"
"Well …"
Controlling the Tartarean Skeleton, Li Yao scratched the human-shaped ash on the ground with the tip of his foot and said, "If the member of the Pangu Clan did not have the technique to be reborn from ashes, he would've been completely dead. However, he was not killed by us but died of exhaustion.
"It couldn't be helped. His original form was' Sha Yue ', one of our exploration team members after all. He expanded from a human being no more than two meters tall to a monster almost ten meters tall and unleashed electric arcs that could've seriously damaged a Colossus. He must've exploited the potential deep inside every cell of' Sha Yue '. Even if we could control him and rescue him, I'm afraid that he would've been obliterated."
Long Yangjun sighed, which was rare for her, and said, "What a shame. I was planning to capture him alive and explore some secrets of the primeval era from him so that I could figure out … my identity and my destiny."
Li Yao frowned. "Is it so important that you are risking your life for it?"
"Of course it is."
Long Yangjun smiled bitterly. "If I don't figure out my past, my identity, and my destiny, what am I living for?"
Li Yao was rendered speechless for a moment.
For some reason, the blue planet and the mysterious Earth that were still hidden in the mist popped up in his head again.
Fine. He more or less understood Long Yangjun's approach.
"Fellow Cultivator Wang, how are you feeling?"
Meng Chixin, Wu Suiyun, and the rest of them hurried to him. "Your biological parameters are terrible, and your spiritual waves are disordered, too. We strongly suggest that you not participate in the next phase of the exploration operation. Just go back to the Nuwa warship and treat your wounds first!"
Long Yangjun was silent. Li Yao seemed to be able to see her gritting her teeth and smashing her fist heavily.
-----
If everything went as planned, he would reach six million words the next day. He was rather excited when he thought about it.
Six million words in two years was truly something that he never expected when he first started writing.
Of course, it did not come without a price. The old bull did not seem to be comfortable anywhere in his neck, shoulders, lumbar spine, and elbows. He was groaning in bed every night. He was truly exhausted from both his cells and his soul.
