Chapter 688: Chapter 691: Star Giant Mouse_1

"Damn it!" Yang Gang’s face drastically changed, "I can’t dodge it!"

Low-level Stealth Abilities can indeed be easily detected.

At this moment, Yang Gang hated that he had no teleportation ability and could only watch wide-eyed as a huge bear paw descended from the sky.

He could feel the call of death at this moment. Even though he tried to fight it off, he could not escape the binding of death.

In the end, Yang Gang gave up struggling and closed his eyes.

"Death? Although I once arrogantly said I was not afraid to die. But when this moment actually comes, I’m still scared. Could I go to Heaven after death? Could I see Xiaorou again? Oh, right, Xiaorou is a Christian, but I am not. Can’t I see Xiaorou again? That somehow feels... unwilling.."

Just as Yang Gang was about to fall into complete despair, a ’chirp chirp’ shriek suddenly arrived at his ears.

He opened his eyes instinctively, taken aback once more.

The little hamster was not dead. On the contrary, it had shape-shifted again into a much larger mouse-like form.

This time, the little hamster’s body grew even larger, changing from the size of a panda to that of a full-grown elephant.

"What the hell! Is it possible that when the little hamster consumes the Beast Crystal Core, its body can keep growing infinitely?" Yang Gang thought to himself, looking stunned, "Could it be, the ultimate form of the little hamster is actually a Star Giant Mouse!"

There was a mention of the Star Giant Mouse in the mythology of a certain religion on Earth.

Millions of feet in length and feeding on planets, it was the supreme ruler of the universe.

Yang Gang wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead.

This can’t be possible..

The giant bear that originally intended to kill Yang Gang with one slap gave up on him, an insignificant prey, immediately upon hearing the squeaks of the little hamster, and started chasing it instead.

Yang Gang took this opportunity to quickly distance himself from the bear, standing on a high slope watching the fight unfold.

In the ensuing half-hour, the fight was predominantly one-sided. The bear was aggressive, relying on brute force and Ultrasonic Power to force the little hamster into frantic retreat.

However, it was undeniable that the little hamster’s escape technique was top-notch.

Despite being cornered under the bear’s fierce onslaught, the little hamster had not suffered significant damage.

After shape-shifting, the little hamster’s agility had increased several folds. It was relying on this sudden boost in agility that the little hamster could just barely cope with the bear’s even more furious attacks.

Another half hour passed, and the bear’s onslaught began to gradually slow down.

It was clearly getting tired.

Despite being a creature from a Different World, it was still a living entity and could still get tired.

The little hamster kept on provoking the bear, directly jumping on the bear’s massive head and biting down on its ear.

After shape-shifting, the bite force of the little hamster was greatly enhanced. Even though the bear’s body was like an iron wall, being bit by the little hamster still hurt.

The bear was enraged beyond control and despite physical exhaustion, continued to chase the little hamster.

And so, the one-sided chase continued for another hour.

By the time the bear realised something was amiss, it was already too late.

It was completely drained and the enormous body directly crashed into the ground.

The little hamster was also almost exhausted. It squeaked at Yang Gang a couple of times and then pointed at the bear’s abdomen with its paws.

Yang Gang realised what it meant. Without any hesitation, he jumped down from the slope, pulled out a three-meter long Ice Stinger, and thrust it directly into the bear’s abdomen.

This Ice Stinger was solidified from the moisture Yang Gang painstakingly extracted from the air. This method of extracting ice was particularly time-consuming and laborious. He had begun charging it up ten minutes earlier, just in time for this moment.

The bear seemed willing to resist, but it was too exhausted to move.

The Ice Stinger penetrated directly into the bear’s abdomen.

Roar~

The bear screamed one last time before it stopped breathing.

Yang Gang squatted down beside the bear exhaustedly, feeling a wave of fear surge through him.

This giant bear’s whole body was like an iron wall, apart from a small area on its belly that was soft cartilage and hidden under thick fur. If not for the guidance of the little hamster, even if the giant bear had lost all its combat strength, Yang Gang might not have found a way to kill this gigantic creature.

After the giant bear’s death, the little hamster seems to have regained quite a bit of strength, returning to its original size. It squeaked a couple of times at Yang Gang then promptly burrowed into the hole Yang Gang had made into the body of the bear.

Then, about two to three minutes later, the little hamster emerged again, this time carrying a shiny Beast Crystal Core in his arms.

"Ah, this little rascal was targeting the Beast Crystal Core inside the giant bear from the beginning, wasn’t it?!"

"Squeak!" The little hamster scratched its head.

Yang Gang chuckled bitterly, "This guy is too gutsy. Even though it got much stronger after growing bigger, it’s clear that it was no match for the bear. Or else it wouldn’t have been chased around the mountain by the bear. But..."

Glancing at the hamster, Yang Gang thought to himself, "But, this fellow is pretty clever. Knowing it can’t win against the bear head-on, it wore down the bear’s stamina and then seized the opportunity to strike a fatal blow."

Yang Gang’s speculation was spot-on. That was indeed the hamster’s plan.

However, it slightly underestimated the bear’s stamina, not anticipating that by the time it had worn out the bear, it also ran out of energy to attack. Fortunately, Yang Gang was there to kill the bear successfully and claim the Beast Crystal Core.

After that, Yang Gang too entertained an idea.

He’s able to ingest the superior genes of non-sentient species on Earth, converting them directly into his abilities. But frankly speaking, at the current stage, there aren’t many species on Earth possessing superior genes. And even those ’superior’ genes are not that extraordinary.

However, Beasts from the Other World are different. Even Lower Level Demon Beasts without Beast Crystal Cores possess a brute strength far superior to anything existing on Earth. If he could harness this brute strength, his individual strength would see significant improvements, and he wouldn’t even need to covet the fossil of the Chinese Dragon Bird anymore.

But, Yang Gang’s attempt failed.

While this giant bear possesses mighty Barbaric Bear Power, he couldn’t integrate it.

These species from the Different World, although similar size to Earth’s species, possess vastly different internal organ structures and DNA. He is unable to assimilate their superior genes, let alone claim the divine skills of high-level beasts.

---

Having successfully obtained the Beast Crystal Core of the giant bear, both hamster and man didn’t dare to linger in this place and promptly started to make their way back to their camp.

Halfway there, the little hamster seemed unwilling to run any further, rustling its fur and squeaking a couple of times.

"Dislike being dirty, huh."

Having spent a significant amount of time with the hamster, Yang Gang had come to understand the meaning of the hamster’s body language.

The little hamster nodded vigorously.

"Drawing moisture from the air is too strenuous. Creating the massive Ice Stinger that killed the bear earlier nearly consumed a quarter of my spiritual power. The Land of Fallen is too dangerous, with risks lurking around every corner. I can’t waste precious spiritual power on this," Yang Gang paused before adding, "Wait a sec."

Then, Yang Gang closed his eyes, releasing his Ice Series Superpower. He was immediately aware of all the water sources within a ten-mile radius.

"Perfect, there’s a creek three kilometers from here. I’ll draw its water for you to bathe."

Having said that, Yang Gang flicked his fingers and, half a minute later, a twister-like water stream flew from the direction of the creek.

"Here, I’ll help you rinse." Yang Gang collected himself and said with a smile.

"Squeak!"

Yang Gang realised that the hamster had two kinds of squeaks.

One type was ’ji ji’, a sound of danger or aimed at enemies, similar to a human roar.

The other was ’squeak’, a friendly sound demonstrating that the hamster was in a good mood.

--

"Eh? What’s this?"

Yang Gang was busily controlling the stream of water to wash the hamster when suddenly, an unknown piece of cloth material got carried along in the water, falling over the hamster’s head.

"Ji ji!"

Getting face-masked by a piece of cloth was definitely not pleasing to the little hamster.

Yang Gang bent over and plucked the cloth off the hamster’s head, blinking in surprise.

"This design..."

After more than ten seconds, Yang Gang finally came to realise.

"Damn, isn’t this a woman’s underwear?! Is there a woman bathing in that creek?!"
