Chapter 337: Chapter 214 The Giant Disappears, A Love That Crosses Species (Two in One)_2
After days of research, he had already figured out the operation mode of light energy.
As long as the light energy ran out, he could avoid being assimilated and didn’t have to masochistically seek beatings anymore.
This time, if he still couldn’t kill this bat, he would have no choice but to make a run for it.
At that thought, Qin Shou crossed his hands, and the crystal at his forehead also released light energy, an endless brilliance spreading out, incinerating the bodies of the bats in the sky to ashes while illuminating the city.
"Buzz..."
A blazing pillar of light pierced the black clouds, containing a vast energy incomparable to the light energy dissipated during a transformation.
"Hiss..."
As the light energy invaded, the giant bat screeched in panic, spewing black clouds rapidly, but as the dazzling light column burst forth, the large black cloud was scattered by the light energy.
In an instant, the scorching sun reappeared, its rays shining upon the earth, bringing hope to humanity while corroding the giant bat’s massive wings with blackened holes.
"Sizzle..."
"Hiss..."
The giant bat wailed in agony, its body now ablaze with raging flames. The black cloud it just spewed out to block the sunlight was again dispersed by the beam of light shooting skyward.
The light energy within Qin Shou drove away the black cloud but was no match for the giant bat.
The giant bat could crush Qin Shou but was powerless against the omnipresent sunlight.
Sunlight could destroy the giant bat but couldn’t penetrate the black clouds scattered across the sky.
Once the delicate balance was broken, it would inevitably lead to a devastating blow.
"Hiss..."
In less than a minute, the giant bat’s wings were burnt to ash, its fractured body plummeting like a meteorite into the city center, erupting into a widespread blaze.
Under the sunlight, the Light Giant’s whole body radiance drew inward, its slender form collapsing weakly to the ground, kneeling as its body became ghostly.
An endless sense of weakness invaded his mind, and Qin Shou gasped continuously, his body slowly transforming into light particles and disappearing from countless people’s view.
The brilliant sunlight poured down, warming the bodies of everyone.
The monster was almost completely incinerated by the blazing sun, and the bloodsucking bats scattered in all directions.
In the end, it was humanity who triumphed in this battle.
"Hahaha, we survived!"
"Indeed, we survived, but..."
"But the giant has disappeared..."
"Did he... die?"
"I don’t know, perhaps he was exhausted and couldn’t maintain the giant form..."
"The true identity of the giant..."
"Maybe he’s an Unbreakable Realm expert who happened to pass by Yara City."
"That’s right, someone from Yala Group."
"I saw it with my own eyes; the people from Yala Group didn’t plan to defend this city from the start."
"I saw it too, it’s infuriating..."
"Let’s go to the Federation and expose Yala Group’s irresponsible behavior..."
...
On the other side, "Qin Shou" supported Su Liang as they walked out of the giant pit.
The warm sunlight fell on Su Liang’s face, and he took a deep breath, revealing a long-lost smile.
"Haha, it’s good to be alive."
"Qin Shou" just wanted to say something when he saw the communicator flashing. He discreetly glanced at the content and then said to Su Liang.
"Mr. Su, there were heavy casualties in Yara City. I’m going to help, you take care of yourself."
With that, he disappeared from Su Liang’s sight in a flash.
"Strange, why does this kid’s walk look so effeminate?"
Su Liang rubbed his eyes, thinking he must have seen it wrong.
...
At the site where the giant bat fell, Qin Shou leaned against the ruins of a building, pale-faced, reaching out his right hand.
In his palm was a black crystal the size of a baby’s fist.
This was found among the ashes of the giant bat, and he could sense the vast energy within it, which was precisely the opposite of the light energy in his body when he transformed into a giant.
"What is this? A Dark Energy Crystal?"
Qin Shou, powerless, half-lay in the ruins, barely tossing the black crystal into the System Space before slowly drifting off to sleep.
"Phew..."
He didn’t know how much time had passed when a chill invaded, startling the slumbering Qin Shou awake with a shiver.
The first scene he saw was a slightly curly-haired, explosively handsome young man standing in front of him.
"Qin Shou" ’s figure squirmed, transforming into the appearance of Leng Wanbai.
"Master, how are you feeling?"
"Ah, it’s just you, Xiao Bai, why are you taking my form?"
Qin Shou, his eyelids drooping, asked weakly.
Leng Wanbai squatted down, taking out a wet wipe to carefully clean the dirt and dust off Qin Shou’s face.
"You said this thing can’t be exposed for now, so I took your form to create an alibi for you.
See, aren’t I smart?"
Leng Wanbai squinted her eyes and smiled.
"Haha, sure smart, where’s Big Black Face?" Qin Shou murmured drowsily.
"Mr. Su is fine, just got a few bumps on his head; not sure if he was hit or fell, better have the school doctor check for a concussion."
Leng Wanbai finished speaking and was about to rip open Qin Shou’s clothes.
"Xiao Bai, what are you doing?"
Qin Shou suddenly startled awake, looking at Leng Wanbai with a wary expression.
This bug actually dares to covet my looks.
Leng Wanbai widened her eyes, "Your clothes are dirty, now that no one’s around, I’ll change them for you!"
"Oh, no need, just take care of the person behind you first."
Qin Shou gestured toward the back of Leng Wanbai with his mouth.
Leng Wanbai nodded, remained expressionless, and stood up to look at the bald man who had suddenly appeared in the ruins.
"Hahaha, who would have thought the giant who defeated the Nightmare-level Monster would be a little brat."
The man with the dark face was excited, slowly approaching the two, his eyes showing ill intent.
"Kid, hand over the treasure that turns you into a giant, and I’ll spare you!"
The scene of the light particles turning back into the Divine Light Stick had been seen by him.
Qin Shou couldn’t be bothered to speak and ignored the man.
Leng Wanbai stepped in front of Qin Shou, calm-faced, with several Extreme Cold Ice Spikes emerging from her palm.
Seeing this, the man slightly retreated, raising the communicator on his wrist.
"Stop, with just one thought, the video of that kid exiting the giant form will spread, and then you’ll be the wounded who’s eyed as easy prey by everyone!"
Qin Shou closed his eyes to rest, and calmly said, "Xiao Bai, go ahead, don’t worry about him."
Hearing this, the man’s face changed.
"Kid, don’t be reckless, we can discuss the terms, don’t act on impulse."
Qin Shou turned a deaf ear, and Leng Wanbai waved her hand, shooting the Extreme Cold Ice Spikes to envelop the man.
"Kid, you’re forcing me!"
The man’s face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth, clicking to send the video.
"Splat..."
Blood splattered as the Extreme Cold Ice Spikes pierced the man, freezing him into an ice sculpture.
The frost-covered communicator displayed a screen reading "No signal, send failed."
"Beep beep... Esteemed master, Galatron reporting in."
The communicator screen projected onto a crowd of synthetic monsters.
Qin Shou nodded, "Very well, stay in the mountains, I’ll come over shortly."
I wonder how Hillbagon is now, if that big paca creature got beaten to death...
As if recalling something, Qin Shou disabled the system notification mute, looking at a series of messages, his brow furrowed.
"Strange, there’s no news about slaying the giant bat; does that mean it’s not dead yet?"
"Flap flap..."
Qin Shou looked up, watching the bloodsucking bats scatter across the ruins, disappearing into dark corners.
...
The Andes Mountains.
In the dark giant cave, Leng Wanbai supported the stumbling Qin Shou.
"Beep beep... Turn a hundred meters ahead, Hillbagon’s life signs detected." The prompt suddenly sounded.
Qin Shou nodded and, with Leng Wanbai, approached the cave corner, where under the night vision goggles, he immediately saw the sleeping Hillbagon.
"Snore..."
Inside the nest, Hillbagon could be seen lying on its back, snoring while hugging a giant sleeping paca, like a loving couple.
"Pfft..."
Qin Shou’s eyes widened, almost spewing old blood.
"What on earth?"
Leng Wanbai squinted her eyes, hands cupped at her chest: "A cross-species romance, I envy it!"
Qin Shou: "..."
What kind of romance, it’s just greed for each other’s bodies!
"Xiao Bai, don’t learn from it, there’s reproductive isolation." He warned.
Leng Wanbai pondered, "With current gene technology, maybe it’s possible to artificially..."
"Ahem, stop right there, ancient divine beast warning!"
Qin Shou suddenly covered Leng Wanbai’s mouth, then collected the two slumbering beasts into System Space.
Buy one get one free, this deal’s not bad.
"Let’s go, the people from the Beast Cultivation Main City should have arrived in Yara City, we should head back too."
Due to the bat monster from the meteorite, Yara City is now in ruins, and Yala Group has officially been listed as a group with a bad record, soon to be forcibly disbanded.
Upon returning to Yara City, Qin Long immediately called Qin Shou to the temporary principal’s office.
"Qin Shou, that Light Giant, it’s actually you, isn’t it!"
Behind the desk, Qin Long’s eyes were like electricity, staring straight at the fatigued Qin Shou.
