Even looking at the empty pit, Ye Li still dared not relax in the slightest.
He put the Barrett into his spatial ring, took out a perfect-grade rifle, and walked towards the edge of the pit.
Just as he took a step, suddenly, a deep and powerful heartbeat came from the pit.
"Thump!"
The sudden sound caused Ye Li's foot, which had been about to step out, to freeze in mid-air.
"Thump!"
Immediately afterwards, another strong heartbeat sounded.
Inside the pit, the giant's head, which had previously disappeared, slowly rose up.
Ye Li's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pointed the gun at it, his palms already sweating without him realizing it.
Just now, the giant skillfully dodged the shot that was about to hit it.
Only the top of his head was missing a large chunk after being ravaged by terrifying energy.
However, the missing part was not the giant's own flesh and blood, but rather the soil residue from various periods that had adhered to its body after it had been buried deep underground for many years.
The giant's head slowly rose and began to rotate.
His eyes, which had been tightly closed, were now open, his gaze deep and calm, like a stagnant pool of water, devoid of any color, as if he had not yet fully woken up.
However, gradually, the light in the giant's pupils returned.
"roar!"
A deep roar came from the giant's throat, like the roar of a long-dormant beast awakening.
This roar shook the entire base, sending chills down everyone's spines.
After being dormant for hundreds of millions of years, it has finally been revived at this moment.
Only this high-pitched roar could fully express the excitement in his heart.
At the same time, a surging aura erupted from the giant's body, forming a terrifying storm that instantly swept across the entire base.
The shockwave forced Ye Li, the little stone monkey, and Bai Yuekui to retreat several steps, their clothes fluttering wildly in the storm as if they might be torn to shreds at any moment.
"Squeak, squeak..."
—It's alive! It's alive!
The little stone monkey let out sharp cries from the side.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
"..."
Suddenly, a series of crisp sounds rang out from the giant's body.
The giant's skin began to peel off.
The skin, which originally looked like rock, gradually faded away, crumbling and sliding off little by little, like a sandcastle blown by the wind.
Finally, what was revealed was the innermost purple skin, a deep purple with a metallic sheen, like a violet gemstone.
The previously stiff joints began to move, and the muscles gradually expanded, finally releasing the sealed power within the body.
The giant raised his hands from the bottom of the pit, bracing himself against the edge, and then leaped upwards.
"Boom!"
"Snap!"
"..."
Various sounds came from below the pit.
It sounded like chains, steel plates, or other metal objects breaking or crumbling.
In a short time, countless cracks appeared on the stone slabs surrounding the pit.
The giant suddenly sprang up, its massive body emerging from the deep pit as if pulled up from dry land.
A huge black shadow enveloped Ye Li and the others.
Ye Li looked up at the giant. Even after removing the geological debris such as rocks from its body, the giant's body was three times smaller than before.
Yet it still felt like a massive purple mountain, pressing down on people and making it hard to breathe.
This giant even knew how to cover his shame; black and red vines were woven into an oversized pair of shorts to cover his crotch.
