“”Boom!”

A foot, eighty-five centimeters long, stomped on the ground, with the cement road cracking open like a foam.

“Screech, screech, screech!”

The high-pitched and sharp sound of metal scraping the ground echoed through the air.

This was Du Gang dragging a metal column as he advanced!

The six-meter-long bar in his hand turned out to be heavier than he had imagined, so heavy that he couldn’t lift it single-handedly and had no choice but to drag it along.

Meanwhile, Du Gang had a relatively clear understanding of his own strength.

Considering that the metal bar weighed about ten tons, his grip strength in a single hand should be around four tons. It was not enough to lift the bar, but it was sufficient to drag it forward.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

The sound of mantises flapping their wings rapidly growing closer could be heard.

The moment Du Gang appeared, these bugs had spotted him. Like finding a long-lost adversary, three beetles that had previously darted off, turned back and advanced toward him.

The fastest ones to arrive, however, were the two-meter-long Flying Mantises.

Dynamic Vision!

Du Gang discovered that the mantises were flying at the speed of sound. He quickly maximized his power and activated his Dynamic Vision.

All of a sudden, the Flying Mantises, which were originally leaving behind a trail of afterimages in the sky and could not be seen clearly, at this moment, resembled flying snails, flapping their wings slowly in Du Gang’s eyes.

“Die!”

Du Gang roared, raising his hand abruptly and slamming it in a certain direction where there was nothing.

This violent act seemed like a furious giant making a foolish venting move of smashing the air.

“Bam!”

After a deep thud, a Flying Mantis was directly smashed into the ground. Green blood splashed out rapidly, its entire body had been turned into a pile of mangled flesh by Du Gang’s smack and was sticking to the ground.

He had predicted the Flying Mantis’s direction of advance using his Dynamic Vision, and had prepared his response in advance.

Du Gang couldn’t help but feeling a sense of relief. Thankfully, he possessed Dynamic Vision. Otherwise, he would now be nothing more than a giant blood bank, drained to death by beetles that resembled mantises but which had blood-sucking stingers!

“Bam!”

Another Flying Cockroach was smacked down onto the ground. This impact was like a high-speed fighter jet colliding with a highly durable titanium alloy wall, crushing its body instantly.

Du Gang’s palm felt nothing, as if it was not his hand that had been hit.

In fact, he even had time to calculate the force of this impact: assuming the Flying Mantis weighed fifty kilograms and was moving at the speed of sound, the force of the collision he had sustained was about 1.7 tons!

The impact force of 1.7 tons not only failed to cause him the slightest injury, it couldn’t even make him feel any pain!

“So, my defense power is also quite strong!”

At that moment, Du Gang had an inkling. By calculating the trajectory using his Dynamic Vision, he intentionally let off a Flying Mantis, allowing it to attack his arm directly.

He wanted to test if his body could withstand these flying bugs’ attacks.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

After continuously swatting a few more bugs to death, finally a Flying Mantis managed to overcome the difficulties, and reached Du Gang’s bicep.

With a spirit capable of sucking a cow dry, it raised the stinger on its tail and plunged it hard into Du Gang’s arm.

“Thud…

Under the gaze of Du Gang’s Dvnamic Vision. the stinger of this Flvinc Mantis

was actually bent when it tried to pierce his arm…

“Thud, thud, thud-

Upon realizing that its opponent was too strong defensively, it didn’t give up. Instead, it extended a few of its legs, clenched Du Gang’s bicep tightly. Then its body started to rotate rapidly, making a continuous up-and-down motion.

After realizing that a single attack would not be enough, the Flying Mantis prepared for rapid strikes, like a motorized piledriver, launching a continuous onslaught.

Was this its trump card?

Du Gang abandoned his plan to swat it away, and instead chose to further test his defensive capabilities.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!”

Along with violent collision sounds, a cloud of white smoke floated up from intense friction, Du Gang even smelled a hint of a burning odor.

“Snap ! ”

After countless high-intensity attacks in a short time, the stinger of the Flying Mantis finally gave in and broke…

It was enfeebled, the four legs clinging onto Du Gang’s arm unconsciously loosened. Losing its grip, it fell towards the ground.

Under Du Gang’s Dynamic Vision, he even faintly saw a touch of confusion and…despair?… in the compound eyes of the Flying Mantis.

“Haha!”

He chuckled softly and dismissed the Flying Cockroach. He had obtained the answer he was looking for.

He knew these types of Flying Mantises couldn’t harm him.

His defensiveness was terrifyingly strong!

From then on, Du Gang did not continue to actively kill the Flying Mantises. He merely occasionally dodged to protect important parts like his eyes, ears, throat, and groin from potential attacks.

Although he felt even if those Flying Mantises stung him, it wouldn’t break his defense, but what if they carried contagious diseases?

He had never used the pillar standing between his legs…

Although this test seemed lengthy, in reality, just barely a second had passed!

Du Gang, possessing Dynamic Vision, viewed the world in milliseconds, even microseconds. Within one measly second, his eyes could process hundreds, even thousands, of messages.

Without more concerns about flying insects, Du Gang became tougher. The metal grinding noise that had paused for a second resumed. He was like a giant demon wrapped in a dangerous aura, charging at the Scarab Beetle with wild rage!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Each thud of his foot resonating from the ground was like a drum hammer pounding on everyone’s heart, causing their heart rate to involuntarily speed up, their blood surging rapidly.

Everyone’s eyes widened, enduring physical discomfort, their gaze following Du Gang’s advance.

The five-meter-tall Scarab Beetle, when compared to six-meter-tall Du Gang, was still a head shorter. At this moment, it was located about forty meters away from Du Gang. Its originally twenty-meter-long body, in this instant, abruptly shrunk. Folds appeared on its golden back shell as it folded its body into a swollen bug that was ten meters long and five meters high.

It was gathering force!

This was the unique technique of Scarab Beetle—injection charge!

Its long body impeded its ability to move quickly. In such a situation, it could gather its body like a slingshot. The more compact it became, the greater the impulse of its projection.

Seeing this, Du Gang, rather than avoiding, felt a surge of battle intent. Since acquiring the power to transform into a giant, all his previous battles felt unsatisfactory, like an adult bullying a child. This insect, of similar size, was what he needed!

They were getting closer and closer!

Finally, when Du Gang was within twenty meters of the Scarab Beetle, it moved!

The body that was originally curled up suddenly stretched out, rushing forward with a speed beyond what it could normally achieve due to its large size. Like a flash, it arrived before Du Gang in an instant.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Along with this attack, there was a thunderous roar resonating like thunder descending from the heavens.

“Bring it on!”

Du Gang yelled, his foot stomped heavily, instantly creating a massive pit on the ground as he leapt into the air.. He raised the iron pole that had been dragging along the ground above his head and slammed it heavily onto the charging Scarab Beetle!
