Chapter 755: First Encounter with a Monster—Forest Giant! Rubber Duck?

"This place is tranquil; it's the Burial Ground I carefully selected for you, the feng shui is superb."

Su Yang strode forward, looking down from his height at the man with a fierce, shadowed face, his murderous intent fully evident.

Cough—

Lin Jin kept dry heaving, their complexion as pale as paper, waving their hand repeatedly.

As if begging for mercy.

Su Yang ignored them, lifted his hand, grabbed their hair and hoisted them up, then delivered a heavy kick to their stomach.

Bang!

Lin Jin's body was flung straight out, their bones nearly falling apart.

They lay on the ground, convulsing continuously, spitting fresh blood.

Seeing this, Su Yang did not press the attack but became cautious.

The opponent possesses a rare‑grade Innate Talent, which they have not yet used.

On the surface they seem powerless, but behind the scenes they likely conceal murderous intent!

"Er… cough… you probably didn't decide to kill me on a whim, right?" Lin Jin, catching their breath, said hoarsely.

"You guessed right, but unfortunately there's no reward," Su Yang said, drawing nearer slowly.

"I don't recall ever offending you; could it be because of that crazy girl?" Lin Jin asked again.

"Are right and wrong really that important?" Su Yang picked up a stone the size of a head from the ground.

"I don't want to be a fool."

A flash of Cold Light flickered in Su Yang's eyes, and the stone was hurled forcefully.

It flew straight toward Lin Jin's head!

But at that moment, a sudden demonic wind swept in; the ground before Lin Jin erupted with a massive hand that instantly crushed the stone.

"So this is your Innate Talent?" a sharp glint passed through Su Yang's eyes.

But the next instant, his pupils contracted sharply.

The earth trembled, soil billowed, and a gigantic silhouette burst from the ground.

When it fully stood, its sky‑blocking form sent chills down the spine.

It stood a full ten meters tall, limbs thick, its abdomen bearing a huge opening that resembled a mouth!

Glasses perched on either side of its chest, two sharp horns hung from its neck, its aura terrifyingly immense.

Standing before it, Su Yang seemed as tiny as an ant.

When its two eyes fixed on him, goosebumps rose all over his body.

An irresistible sensation swept his entire being.

Run!

The only thought left in Su Yang's mind was that.

He immediately fled backward recklessly, daring not to linger a moment.

He never imagined that such a massive creature could emerge from underground.

Undoubtedly, this was the Monster described in the rules—a thirty‑meter‑tall Forest Giant!

A sense of danger filled his heart; the Giant behind ignored Lin Jin beneath its feet and chased him straight.

Watching the shadow ahead grow larger, Su Yang was terrified and pushed his speed to the limit.

"Damn!"

He spat a silent curse and chose a curved path to evade the hatred.

Thump thump!

With each step the Giant caused the ground to quake; it mimicked Su Yang's action, lifted a multi‑ton stone from the ground, and hurled it at him forcefully!

"Not good!" Su Yang, as if facing a great foe, rolled sideways like a donkey to dodge.

The massive stone shattered with a boom, its impact toppling every tree in its path.

In an instant, shards of stone flew sideways; several struck Su Yang's arm, instantly cutting a slit in his Work Uniform.

Feeling the pressure, Su Yang's heart raced, and he scrambled up hurriedly to charge forward again.

The Giant kept pursuing, its speed increasing.

In the end it even began to run.

"It's learning me!" Su Yang felt a huge shock in his heart.

A ferocious Monster is not frightening; what is terrifying is a colossal being with Learning Ability!

But at that moment, a wooden bridge suddenly appeared before his eyes.

At that instant, Su Yang seemed to seize a sliver of hope, mustering his last breath to sprint toward the bridge.

The Giant, as if unwilling to let him, doubled its pursuit speed instantly!

Feeling the intensifying Vibration, Su Yang's peripheral vision caught the Giant just ten meters behind him.

His heart hammered, Epinephrine pouring out wildly.

Seeing the wooden bridge within reach, Su Yang leapt without hesitation!

But as his body rose into mid‑air, the Giant's massive hand suddenly swatted toward him.

Bang!

Su Yang's whole body flew like a cut‑string kite onto the bridge, spitting blood wildly, staining the helmet visor red.

"Judge!"

Su Yang did not hesitate to use his Title Skill; his body, riddled with countless wounds, instantly healed to its original state.

After landing, he didn't look back and ran toward the other end of the bridge.

Roar!

The giant let out an unwilling roar and stood motionless before the wooden bridge.

…

Xu Yuan ran out, until the giant's silhouette vanished from sight.

Su Yang finally let out a sigh of relief and plopped down on the ground.

"The only chance to recover was wasted like this…"

The Judge's skill cooldown time fully requires seven days.

And the time limit of this game happens to be seven days.

"Why does the Forest Giant keep chasing me?" Su Yang was at a loss.

Clearly, Lin Jin, this prey, is even closer to it.

What's more terrifying is that it also has Learning Ability.

If the time drags longer, it will become even more terrifying.

"Failed to kill Lin Jin, and the Innate Talent wasn't probed…"

Su Yang shook his head silently; this journey cost both his wife and his soldiers.

Loss maximized!

After a short rest, Su Yang stood up, gazed toward the giant's direction, and murmured, "Hope other players won't encounter it."

If it continues to learn, once its mind forms, no one will be able to escape!

Even a simple map is this dangerous; Su Yang dared not imagine how terrifying the monsters in higher‑level maps could be.

More importantly…

He hasn't even touched the Core Gameplay of this game yet.

Thinking of this, Su Yang pulled a bundle of grass, rolled it into a ball, opened his helmet, and wiped the bloodstains off the visor.

Although it wasn't clean, at least it could barely maintain normal vision.

After walking forward for ten minutes, a massive Building Body suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Entirely gray‑white, towering into the clouds, its walls rough and uneven, ordinary yet exuding an eerie aura.

"Is this the place to pick up trash?" Su Yang noticed blue threads suddenly appearing on his helmet visor, leading to the building's gate.

Marking—Entrance!

"I see, this is the destination of this trip," Su Yang understood, and walked to the gate.

His palm touched the iron gate, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

As if… a world were hidden inside.

With that thought, a flash of brilliance crossed his eyes, and he pushed the gate open.

"Boom…"

Upon entering the building, a metallic smell pierced his nostrils.

A ceiling fan spun continuously above, a beam of light shone through its blades onto the entrance.

Light and darkness intertwined, adding a touch of mystery to the place.

Under his foot lay an iron net, with two Gates on each side.

Su Yang pondered briefly and chose the left Gate.

The moment he entered, darkness filled his view.

He couldn't see his hand.

When his pupils adapted to the darkness, using the faint light from the entrance, Su Yang saw that at the end of the path lay a feces‑colored object.

His heart stirred, and he slowly stepped forward to pick up the object.

With the retrieval function analyzing, the object's value immediately revealed—

"Rubber Duck—36 Star Coin."

Su Yang froze for a moment, then instinctively pinched it.

"Snap—"
