Chapter 006: Stephen's Battle
All the javelins failed to penetrate the half-meter thick marble, as if they were fixed to the ground
He was not even clear why these giants harbored such intense hatred towards him. A spear whistled through the air, and he raised his right hand in front of him, causing a wooden block measuring 1.5 meters in height and 0.5 meters in thickness to appear out of thin air
This indicates that there are other creatures on the planet that are more dangerous than this, allowing small dinosaur species to survive, while the super-large dinosaur species are nearly absent.
Night falls
To date, he has not discovered any species of super-sized carnivorous dinosaurs
Even Stephen Zhou has begun to feel a bit fatigued; last night he encountered a dangerous black panther, measuring 5.5 meters in length, standing 1.5 meters tall, weighing around 500 kilograms, with dark red pupils and blood grooves on its fangs, moving with extreme swiftness, and capable of climbing trees
The giant warrior before me was suddenly covered in bite marks from insects, which quickly turned into sores. The toxins seeped into his blood, and after struggling and convulsing for a while, he transformed into a grotesque corpse
Stephen Zhou is in a very bad mood
The bone spear struck the wooden block that appeared out of thin air in front of Stephen, the terrifying force driving the spear nearly twenty centimeters deep.
Although Stephen Zhou did not retaliate against these giants at all, the Shaman's "Plague of Insects" backlash has already killed one of their warriors
... ...
Fraudster
A spear whistled through the air
After passing through a fog-shrouded canyon, Stephen Zhou finally discovered something that excited him
I am shocked
Stephen Zhou seems to have vanished into thin air
Currently, Stephen Zhou has discovered bears, deer, horses, leopards, bobcats, monkeys, and so on. Dinosaur species have also been integrated into the ecological chain of this planet, and they do not occupy a dominant position.
This world is becoming increasingly interesting
Contact failed
Buzz
They flew directly towards Stephen Zhou, moving with remarkable speed. A dense mass obscured the view, making it impossible to determine their number, but just a glance was enough to send chills down one's spine
Although Stephen Zhou is not skilled in combat, he possesses his own unique fighting style
A terrifying and piercing scream erupted
Sigh
Stephen Zhou fell silent, lifted his foot, and stomped on the ground. Instantly, a cubic meter of soil vanished beneath him, and his figure descended vertically into the earth. Above him, chunks of soil were filled back in until he had descended fifteen meters underground, at which point he finally took a slight breath of relief. By the time the giants rushed over, there was no trace of Stephen Zhou behind the marble wall; only a patch of soil that looked distinctly different remained. One of the warriors cautiously approached and prodded it with a spear, but it bore no difference from ordinary soil. He stepped on it, and it did not give way.
This is the entire process of the battle. Although the "Alchemist's Hand" does not possess powerful combat capabilities, it can accelerate Stephen's work efficiency. If the speed is fast enough, it can instantly encase a person within the materials.
Faced with this situation, Stephen Zhou could only sigh, extending his hand to wave in front of him, as six large marble slabs materialized, forming a wall that was three meters wide and two meters high.
In the absence of a response from such strength, the collected materials serve as his weapon. The situation of the battle at that time can be simply described as follows: the black panther pounced, duangduangduang, a large marble wall appeared before it, and it crashed directly into it. The black panther turned around and launched another attack, duangduangduangduang, two marble walls closed in on it, leaving the black panther in a state of panic. Duangduangduangduang, the four walls had taken shape, and Stephen Zhou covered the roof, then stood outside the wall with an iron sword, prodding it.

This has completely turned both parties against each other
How did these organisms undergo mutation? Could it be that a wizard conducted species experiments on them
I really want to celebrate by climbing a tree
The weaker the organism, the more likely it is to undergo mutation and evolution in order to survive in a special environment
Having lost track of Stephen Zhou, the strange black insects immediately became agitated. The shaman behind let out a cry of alarm, and then they saw these insects swarm towards the giant warrior standing on the fresh soil before them
A night has passed
After wandering in the wilderness for three days, he finally encountered a group of indigenous people, but they were primitive savages, adherents of a shamanistic voodoo cult, which reminded him of some terrible memories from his past encounters with troll voodoo cults
The doctrines of Shamanism are more difficult to communicate than those of Druidism, and dealing with Voodoo is akin to civilized individuals venturing into African tribes to communicate with cannibals, representing a highly reckless endeavor
The migrating giants became extremely vigilant after encountering him, even abandoning their hunting to advance northward at a faster pace
Buzz
A mass of black mist rose, but upon closer inspection, it was entirely composed of some kind of tiny black insects
The giant warrior before me let out an angry roar and hurled his spear. The entire giant clan became exceptionally alert, and immediately more than ten warriors rushed over in this direction. The dull sound of a horn also echoed, and from a distance came the furious roar of the giant leader. They shouted to abandon their prey and were swiftly approaching, conveying some kind of message through their loud cries
grave
I knew it was a shaman of the Vodou cult
Many giants felt surprised and uneasy at the sudden appearance of the 'wooden shield' before Stephen. A warrior adorned with gray and white stripes shouted words like 'sorcerer' and 'evil spirit', and then directed others to hurl the javelins from their backs. The sharp whistling sound erupted as more than a dozen javelins, infused with terrifying power, surged towards Stephen
Ding ding ding
Kill him
Stephen Zhou encountered many previously unseen species, such as the Thunder Beast with a thick keratin layer measuring ten centimeters, the Black Armored Horned Beetle with a sturdy horn, and the Night Shadow Beast, which moves in groups like bats at night. On this strange planet, Stephen Zhou observed numerous unfamiliar creatures, as well as many beasts he had known in the past, all of which had undergone some degree of mutation, likely as an evolutionary response to adapt to their environment. Such phenomena typically occur only in worlds that have experienced interstellar colonization, where extraterrestrial intelligent beings have introduced species from other worlds to this planet, leading to mutations and evolution to adapt to the new environment.

On the afternoon of the ninth day, Stephen Zhou saw a group of four-armed gorillas and initially judged that he was now in a subtropical region. He discovered a giant tree species resembling a banana tree, approximately fifty meters tall, with ripe fruits that attracted these gorillas. Upon noticing Stephen Zhou, they emitted intimidating calls and pounded their chests. When they saw him attempting to approach, they threw stones the size of basins to drive him away.
During the day, Stephen Zhou travels, and at night, he digs a safe house underground to sleep. When he cannot sleep, he studies the golden seed and occasionally observes the celestial phenomena to see if he can find familiar traces from the past. He primarily focuses on the three moons in the sky and the peculiar purple ring. Currently, he is unable to enter the void to collect samples, and Stephen Zhou does not know the composition of this purple ring. The three moons vary in brightness and their positional changes exhibit a certain pattern, but it requires a long time to observe. It would be beneficial if he could acquire knowledge of celestial phenomena from the indigenous people.
Stephen Zhou found a safe place to start a fire for barbecuing. The food was the slain cheetah, which had fairly good meat quality, tough fur, and claws that gleamed with a metallic luster. It was impossible for it to grow normally; this black panther must have consumed some metallic ore. The creatures in the multiverse that most enjoy gnawing on ores are likely dragons. Generally, creatures capable of digesting metallic ores possess very powerful digestive abilities, and their bodies exhibit certain metallic characteristics. Stephen scraped the black panther's claw against a stone a few times, and sparks immediately flew. If he hadn't taken advantage of the situation to defeat it, it would have indeed been a formidable enemy.
Or it could be said to be a graveyard. Since there is a graveyard here, he has already left the wilderness and reached an area of human activity. After thirteen days, covering a distance of over 1,800 kilometers, Stephen Zhou finally left the wilderness and entered the fringes of the civilized world
In this situation, Stephen Zhou still did not want to give up, after all, this was the first indigenous tribe he had encountered. However, just as he was about to speak, a sudden and intense sense of crisis erupted. The shaman of the giant clan behind him chanted a few ancient incantations and then violently smashed a black ceramic jar onto the ground
Humanity
In the beliefs of indigenous peoples
Stephen Zhou collected the spoils of a dead black panther and recovered several units of stone.
All the way here
In the end, Stephen Zhou simply built a stone cage measuring 7 meters in length and 3 meters in height on the spot, trapping it inside and directly stabbing it to death.
However, there is good news from this encounter: Stephen Zhou learned from the other party's words that these giants have had contact with humans and, due to certain reasons, harbor deep hatred towards humans, referring to them as 'liars' and 'thieves'
It seems that the contact with these indigenous people has failed
The giant's reaction was even more intense than Stephen Zhou had imagined
Robber
He decided to advance in the opposite direction along the route of the giants' migration, which might lead to the discovery of human traces
The giant warrior stationed on the periphery was the first to spot Stephen Zhou, but what he never expected was that the moment the other party laid eyes on him, a strong sense of hatred emerged.
This departure lasted for six or seven days
Stephen is uncertain whether these organisms are the result of natural mutations or artificial mutations, and he needs some time to seek answers. There are too many factors that can trigger species mutations, including the natural environment, radiation, magnetic fields, the consumption of certain inappropriate mineral substances, or interactions with native species that may lead to certain chain reactions
The human race seems to proliferate and spread like locusts across many worlds, yet regardless of how other races evaluate humanity, Stephen felt considerably more pleased upon confirming that there was human activity in this world
