After several brute-force attacks failed, the behemoth grew increasingly enraged. Its claws firmly locked onto the light barrier, and it slowly exerted its strength, gradually dragging the imprisoned Su Yuyang upwards from the dark pit.

Su Yuyang remained calm, his eyes showing no panic, but secretly he subtly continued to shrink the coverage area of ​​the safe zone.

To outsiders, it seemed as if the power of the behemoth was constantly squeezing the barrier, making his defenses weaker and weaker, but in reality, everything was under his control.

Just as his body was being dragged back to the surface of the cave by the giant beast's claws, a cold glint flashed in Su Yuyang's eyes, and he suddenly activated his mental power.

The previously contracted and concentrated absolute safety zone suddenly exploded, and an invisible force within a ten-meter radius spread wildly!

"Boom!"

A terrifying, invisible force suddenly exploded, and the giant beast's claws, which were tightly gripping the light shield, were suddenly subjected to force.

The colossal beast's massive, mountain-like body shuddered violently, its thick limbs retreating repeatedly, its heavy body nearly tipping over backward, forced back several meters.

The perfect opportunity was fleeting, but Su Yuyang did not hesitate for a moment. Using the momentum to cushion the fall, he leaped into the air.

At the same time, he stretched out his arms and gripped the protruding rock wall at the edge of the pit, his fingertips digging into the hard rock crevices.

His powerful physique and endurance exploded, and with a twist of his waist and abdomen, he deftly flipped over, his feet firmly planted on the solid ground of the cave.

As soon as I steadied myself, the stench of blood swept over me again from behind.

Enraged, the skeletal behemoth swung its right bone claw with all its might once more, determined to slam the cunning human back into the deep pit and utterly destroy him.

Sensing the fierce attack from behind, Su Yuyang neither dodged nor avoided it. The moment he landed, he once again unleashed his extreme speed and charged towards the pile of source crystals without looking back.

Layer upon layer of sharp claws relentlessly bombarded the transparent light shield barrier of the absolute security zone.

Each collision leaves fine white cracks on the surface of the transparent light cover, spreading out like a spider web.

The cracks are multiplying, and the defensive barrier is on the verge of collapse, threatening to crumble at any moment.

Su Yuyang ignored all of this, his mind and eyes only on the various source crystals radiating an alluring light in front of him.

At worst, I can just exhaust all the system's energy and return to the real world.

As for other things, none can compare to the ability to prolong life and strengthen oneself.

Closer, closer.

In just a few breaths, he rushed to the place where the source crystals were scattered. Looking at the source crystals that were emitting various colored halos all over the ground, Su Yuyang let out a low shout.

His figure suddenly leaped into the air, drawing a clean arc in the air, and plunged headfirst into the scattered source crystals.

"Click—click—"

Sharp cracking sounds rang out one after another. The behemoth's ferocious claws finally tore through the surface barrier, and the cracks in the light shield expanded rapidly, bringing the defense to the brink of collapse.

Instead of being frightened, Su Yuyang was overjoyed. He quickly grabbed the source crystals beside him and roared wildly in his mind.

"System, absorb! Absorb immediately!"

The next second, the cool, mechanical system notification sounded like heavenly music resounding in my mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host possesses a Tier 1 Blood Energy Crystal. Absorb all of it to replenish system energy?]

"Absorb! Absorb everything!"

Su Yuyang roared inwardly, his hands moving non-stop as he grabbed handfuls of source crystals from the surrounding area.

[Ding! Detected that the host possesses a Tier 1 Blood Energy Crystal. Absorb all of it to replenish system energy?]

[Ding! Detected that the host possesses a Tier 1 Radiant Gold Source Crystal. Absorb it all to replenish system energy?]

[Ding! Detected that the host possesses a Tier 1 Azure Origin Crystal. Absorb it all to replenish system energy?]

.......

A series of notification sounds rang out like a screen being refreshed, and the various source crystals quietly melted away the moment they touched his palm, transforming into pure energy that surged into his body.

Su Yuyang mechanically repeated the actions of grabbing and absorbing, his mind completely immersed in it, and he had long since lost track of how many source crystals he had absorbed.

Meanwhile, his ears were filled with the heavenly notifications from the system, and he even experienced auditory hallucinations.

A massive amount of energy continuously flowed into the system and the body, and the absolute safety zone, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly shimmered with rings of pale golden light.

The white cracks torn by the giant beast's claws healed and disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The defensive barrier has been completely revamped, and is even more robust and powerful than before.

As he held a crystal in his palm—a crystal of clear blue light shimmering in the deep sea—a completely different system notification suddenly sounded, which invigorated Su Yuyang.

[Ding! The system has received a massive energy replenishment, meeting the upgrade requirements. It will soon upgrade to version 1.002.]

[Version Update: The Lv1 absolute safe zone range has been expanded to 300 meters.]

Unlock your portable virtual storage compartment, capable of holding up to 1,000 kilograms of supplies.

[Unlock Vault Anchor Point Function: You can inscribe an invincible Vault Anchor Point at a fixed point in the wasteland world, and accurately land at the anchor point location when traveling between worlds.]

The anchor point area is permanently invincible, maintained by consuming system energy.

Anchor point positioning, invincible refuge base, and portable storage.

With the three functions combined, all the drawbacks of his previous random teleportation, lack of a place to stay, and difficulty in carrying supplies were completely solved.

Su Yuyang was overjoyed. The thought immediately crossed his mind, and he silently recited it.

"System, use the source crystal energy to repair the diseased genes."

[System Notification: The first-tier Canglan Origin Crystal energy absorption is complete. The spread of host cancer cells has been fully contained, and the diseased cells have undergone minor repair.]

[Current host's remaining lifespan extended: 300 days.]

The increase in lifespan is real, tangible, and incredibly tempting.

Su Yuyang did not stop, continuing to frantically scavenge the remaining source crystals. One source crystal after another melted away, and the pure energy continued to nourish his body.

After consuming more than ten source crystals, the system prompted to refresh again.

The current remaining lifespan of the host has been extended to a total of 3000 days.

With a lifespan of three thousand days, the deadly crisis of being plagued by an incurable disease has been temporarily resolved.

Su Yuyang slowly stopped what he was doing, exhaled a satisfied breath, and glanced at the few remaining source crystals on the ground.

He slowly turned around and looked up at the skeletal behemoth not far away; the situation had already reversed.

An absolute safety zone of 300 meters was quietly established, with invisible forces suppressing it layer by layer.

The ferocious, skeletal behemoth was forced to its feet by an invisible barrier, half of its body embedded in the hard rock wall behind it, unable to move.

In its empty pupils, the ghostly blue soul fire pulsed violently, no longer displaying its previous ferocity and bloodlust, but instead surging with intense horror and apprehension, staring intently at the tiny human before it.

Su Yuyang was hampered by his own lack of combat strength, unable to break through the giant beast's skeletal defenses, let alone kill it.

The giant beast was firmly confined by the 300-meter safety zone, unable to cross the line or harm Su Yuyang in the slightest.

Thus, a strange stalemate was formed between the man and the beast.
