Chapter 484: The Effects Of Gravity (2/2)
When it was walking towards Luo Yuan, it looked like a moving mountain.
By looking at its body language, it seemed that it was going to crash into the mountain directly. To interstellar creatures, matter on earth was probably too fragile and it could do no harm to them. It was lazy to lift its legs to skip this 'small slope'.
Soon, both of them got closer to one another. The next moment, the mountain had split into half and it sounded like an explosion. A flame was vaguely visible at the area of impact. Millions of tons of sand and thousands of tons of giant rocks flew through the sky as if they were light as a feather.
Luo Yuan's body seemed to be affected by it, being blown away like the crushed rocks. However, the speed at which he was being blown away was obviously slower than the crushed rocks.
He activated his prediction ability and countless scenes flashed through his mind, showing all possible outcomes of the attacks.
His 17-point Intelligence allowed him to visualize the outcomes of the fight at a rate of 10 times per second.
After foreseeing the possible failures, his eyes eventually lit up.
He slightly moved his body to the left by one meter. He was then struck by a giant rock. His body resembled a golf ball and he quickly shifted his direction towards the head of the gigantic beast.
It seemed like the interstellar creature had sensed something. It tilted its head slightly and looked around in a moment of doubt. However, it did not notice Luo Yuan who was getting closer to it.
It was not strange though since both of them had a huge difference in size. It was similar to how humans could hardly notice a mosquito that was flying about silently. To the gigantic beast, Luo Yuan existence was negligible.
There were times when he was noticed but those were in the outcomes where he failed.
After a few seconds, Luo Yuan landed an attack on the gigantic beast's nostrils.
With just one touch, Luo Yuan could feel that there was a destructive power that attempted to penetrate his bare hands, causing him to feel a strong sense of pain in his skin. Fortunately, both of them were separated as soon as they came into contact with one another. He avoided the attack and went into its nostrils.
Its nostrils resembled a double-laned tunnel and it was spacious. Even its nose hairs were five centimeters thick and they were as messy as weeds.
It was so dirty inside its nose and he could no longer see its original skin tone. It was so dark inside, seeing layers of dirt accumulated on its surface. However, these were not the usual excretions one would see as most of the dirt were dust and crushed rocks. It was not as disgusting as he had imagined it to be.
He could still feel the pain in his palm. Luo Yuan looked at it, and the surface of his skin was swollen. He was thrilled. Fortunately, the contact period was not too long. If it was, he might have lost his hand. The gigantic beast was indeed more fearsome than he had expected.
Luo Yuan dared not stay there any longer and quickly exited its nostril. Probably due to the fact that the interstellar creature had been living in outer space for a long time, it did not have the habit of breathing. Luo Yuan felt fortunate as his movement within its nostrils were not affected at all. Otherwise, its breathing would have caused a storm and be of trouble to Luo Yuan.
After walking for a distance of around 30 meters, Luo Yuan stopped and floated into the sky.
He looked above his head and took a deep breath. He breathed in for exactly three minutes, even his stomach began to bloat.
The next moment, highly pressurized air flowed out from Luo Yuan's mouth.
A large amount of dust from the roof of its nasal cavity was blasted with gusts of wind that was level eight or nine. After the dust was blown away, the structure of the nasal cavity was exposed.
He observed carefully and soon, he could see a triangle-shaped skeleton.
”I guess this is the place. He never knew that creatures like these would have such a weak skeleton.” Luo Yuan was relieved and thought in his heart.
He entered the gigantic beast's nasal cavity as the nasal cavity was connected to the brain. Compared to other parts of the body, the brain was the most important organ. Once the brain was destroyed, it would cause death.
There was only a cartilage separating the nasal cavity and the brain and cartilage was located the peak. It was the weakest point and was also one that he could easily attack.
Fortunately, despite being an interstellar creature, there was no significant difference in their structure.
Luo Yuan wiped away the dust that accumulated on the surface of the triangle-shaped skeleton. His movement was gentle so that the gigantic beast would not be alarmed.
The skeleton was smooth. As he wiped gently, he could see its original color.
Luo Yuan noticed that the skeleton was not fragile. It had a crystal-like surface, smooth and shiny as if it was made completely of crystal. It would seem that the skeleton was actually quite tough. Its thickness was also beyond expectation as it was around 10 meters thick.
It was not easy to completely crack the bones and sneak into its brain before the gigantic beast had a chance to react.
”It seems that I must use my full strength in my attack.” Luo Yuan thought in his heart.
Before the attack, he opened the attributes panel. Fortunately, he did not cancel the mission he got previously and it was still there. He immediately chose to accept it.
Then, he closed his eyes in an attempt to focus his mind. His muscles started bulging and goosebumps were visible to the naked eyes. The fluctuations in his energy could not be suppressed and were triggered by his powerful strength.
…
Breaking through the mountain, the interstellar creature that was still moving forward was slightly agitated. It felt insecure and stopped moving.
It looked anxious and doubtful. Its power became inconsistent, causing a flicker in its movement.
The electromagnetic fields in the air was distorted. They were moving against the gravitational force as countless auroras that were dancing in the air, even the crushed ice was floating in the air.
The next moment, its brain vibrated momentarily. Two roaring flames, along with a large amount of blood and crushed bones oozed out of its nostril. All of the odd phenomena stopped instantly as the flames got hotter.
”Roarrr!” The gigantic beast howled in pain and it was akin to the sound of a siren.
It was against the mother nature, having a giant creature like this roaring into the atmosphere. One would now know how threatening it was.
The sound waves formed a milky-white substance in the air. It seemed like the ice layer was being scraped off and even the mountain that was 100 meters away from it was affected. The ice on the surface was seemingly blown off and soon, the same thing happened to the frozen ground as well as the rocks beneath the layer of ice. After two seconds, the entire mountain disappeared as though it had never existed.
Similarly, Luo Yuan who was so close to the gigantic beast's vocal cord could not avoid it.
Facing such a horrifying sound wave, even Luo Yuan had a terrible headache and his brain went blank. Thanks to his strong Physique which was even stronger than steel, he regained his consciousness in just a blink of an eye.
Looking at the cartilage that had split into half, without a moment of delay, he struck a blow with all the remaining strength he had in his body.
The blow turned red instantly and became white as it hit the target. The temperature had reached around 3000 degree Celsius. The next moment, a strong explosion took place at the point of impact, filling the entire nasal cavity with burning flames.
Feeling the resistance of the blow disappear when the cartilage was crushed, Luo Yuan was happy. Before the gigantic beast even managed to react, Luo Yuan, who thrown back by the recoil dug his heels into its skin. At that moment, his body was like a flash of lightning, penetrating into the gigantic beast's brain.
