"Alright, one more time, and I can sever his body," Qin Yan thought, lifting his great sword again, aiming to strike Gonggong's body. However, just as he was about to make his move, he froze.

He saw that the wound he had just inflicted on Gonggong had disappeared; the injury on Gonggong's body had completely healed.

"What's going on? How is his recovery speed so fast?" Qin Yan was astonished. He continuously swung his great sword, cutting wounds into Gonggong's body.

Despite the great sword's powerful destructive force, Gonggong's healing speed was even more formidable. In less than half a second, the wounds Qin Yan had inflicted were healed. Qin Yan's ability to cause damage couldn't keep up with Gonggong's rapid recovery. Moreover, Gonggong's body was still growing, continuously becoming longer and larger.

From a distance, Zhen Jun's shout came: “It’s useless, this kind of gigantification can grant him tremendous healing abilities. Unless he stops the transformation himself, you won’t be able to stop him.”

“How could this be?” Hearing Zhen Jun’s words, Qin Yan couldn't help feeling very disheartened. He flew back to regroup with the others and said, “What should we do? If he becomes a giant monster, we won’t stand a chance against him.”

“It’s okay,” Zhen Jun said very calmly. “Although this kind of gigantification can greatly enhance his strength, it also causes great consumption and damage to his body. He won’t be able to maintain his gigantic form for long. Soon, he will revert to his original form and become extremely weak. We just need to delay for some time. Once he changes back, he won’t be a match for us.”

“So that's how it is.” Qin Yan felt somewhat relieved. “In that case, what we need to do now is to delay time. As long as we can drag out the time until Gonggong’s transformation ends, we will win.”

Lin Shiqi quickly said, “Then let’s run away now, get far from Gonggong. It's best to make him unable to find us, so he can’t attack us.”

“That should work. Let’s do that,” Zhen Jun said.

So, the group started sprinting across the grassland, heading away from Gonggong.

“Hahaha, did you think you could escape?” However, less than six minutes into their run, a thunderous voice came from behind. Everyone quickly stopped and turned around, only to see a tiny red-haired head in the distant horizon rapidly flying towards them.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

“Wow, that monster is chasing us! What should we do?” Lin Shiqi cried out in panic. Despite the distance, she could tell the head was massive, at least as big as a small house.

Zhen Jun made a quick decision, “It seems we can’t escape. We must take another strategy. Everyone, hide quickly, don’t let him find you. Qin Yan, you come with me to hold him off. We just need to drag it out until his transformation ends.”

Everyone agreed. Except for Qin Yan and Zhen Jun, they all dove into the tall grass, using it to hide, while Qin Yan and Zhen Jun took to the air, flying towards the gigantic Gonggong.

“Er, how did he become so big?” Qin Yan, watching Gonggong getting closer, felt his scalp tingle. Gonggong’s head was as big as a truck, his long snake body was over two meters thick and more than a hundred meters long, looking like a massive monster, extremely terrifying.

“Haha, you came to me yourselves, perfect, let’s see how I kill you.” The gigantic Gonggong, seeing Qin Yan and Zhen Jun floating in the air, immediately showed a fierce smile on his face. He swiftly flew towards them, using his huge head to ram into the two. Qin Yan and Zhen Jun quickly flew to the side, dodging Gonggong’s headbutt.

“You’re quite fast at escaping, then taste this move!” The gigantic Gonggong twisted his head, changing his flight direction in the air, and flew towards Zhen Jun and Qin Yan again. At the same time, a strong storm was conjured out of thin air, blowing towards Zhen Jun and Qin Yan.

The storm’s force was astonishingly strong. Qin Yan and Zhen Jun were swept by the wind, immediately losing control of their bodies, and were blown towards Gonggong. Gonggong thrust his head forward again, using his truck-sized head to ram fiercely at the two.

With a couple of dull thuds, Zhen Jun and Qin Yan were struck by Gonggong’s head one after the other and were sent flying.

Qin Yan managed to absorb the huge impact force with his great sword, only being blown away for about ten meters without much injury.

Zhen Jun, on the other hand, fared much worse. Unlike Qin Yan, who had the great sword to mitigate the powerful impact, he was blown away nearly fifty meters. The strong impact caused great damage to his stone body, cracking it open. He fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut, heavily landing on the ground, unable to move for a short time.

“Hahaha, now you can’t escape, go to hell!” Gonggong laughed maniacally, flying towards the fallen Zhen Jun, and using his head for another attack.

“No, I can’t let him hit me again, or I’m finished!” Zhen Jun, watching Gonggong getting closer and about to hit him, showed a look of panic on his face.

At the critical moment, a dazzling golden-red beam shot out from Zhen Jun’s third eye, striking Gonggong’s right eye precisely. Gonggong’s right eye immediately emitted black smoke, melting under the intense beam.

“Ah, it hurts so much!” Gonggong, his eye shot by Zhen Jun, quickly turned his head away, not daring to face Zhen Jun directly.

With a thunderous boom, Gonggong’s head heavily collided with the ground near Zhen Jun, causing the earth to tremble violently. The ground cracked open, and the powerful impact created a gigantic spherical hole with a diameter of several tens of meters.

“That was close…” Zhen Jun flew up from the ground, looking at the huge hole created by Gonggong, feeling a chill down his spine. He thought, if he had been hit by that gigantic head, he would have been smashed to pieces and instantly killed.
