Seeing the way the grass swayed, Ye Chen knew that this creature was not small in size—it was at least taller than himself.

With this understanding, Ye Chen knew he had to persist and move forward slowly. At that moment, he seemed to catch a whiff of a very fishy and foul odor.

Instinctively, he covered his mouth and nose with his hand, then glanced over, noticing a massive black monstrosity emerging from the grass.

However, Ye Chen had no idea what this creature was. Its entire body was covered with red fur, and as it appeared before him, it suddenly stood upright, letting out a roaring sound from its mouth.

It felt more like a gorilla, but a rather rare kind of gorilla.

Its body hair was completely reddish-brown, and it appeared very, very tall and sturdy.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Chen realized that their suspicions had indeed been correct.

They had encountered some colossal creature in this area.

If it came to a one-on-one fight, Ye Chen figured he might not be its match. However, Ye Chen was not an ordinary person, so he naturally had some confidence in dealing with it.

Suddenly, Ye Chen extended his leg and forcefully kicked toward the creature's chest.

Perhaps his strength was too excessive, because when Ye Chen's kick landed, the creature only staggered back two steps and wasn't knocked down.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen was quite astonished and found it somewhat unbelievable.

If it were any other beast, it probably would have been knocked to the ground by such a strong kick, considering he had used around 60-70% of his power.

However, it seemed that this attack hadn't dealt significant damage to the creature.

Being attacked like this seemed to completely enrage the creature. It roared loudly and started moving towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took two steps back, gradually realizing that he couldn't attack this animal in the usual way. Additionally, he noted that its movement was extremely slow.

If it were any other animal, it would become furious and speed up significantly after such an attack. However, it remained slow.

If that's the case, Ye Chen could predict that its enormous size was restricting its movement, giving him an opportunity.

He quickly pivoted, using all his strength to leap through the air, and aimed a fierce kick at the creature's head.

Since his previous kick to its chest hadn't caused damage, there must be some weak point. When this kick landed, Ye Chen felt that he used about 80% of his power.

Truth be told, Ye Chen didn't want to knock it down entirely just yet, as the situation was still uncertain.

He didn't want to use his full power here, as he was only looking for some clues and didn't want to disrupt the ecological balance of the island.

But after this kick, Ye Chen realized he might have underestimated the creature's abilities.

The creature wobbled back a bit and then fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

The grass in that area was flattened under its weight. Seeing this, Ye Chen finally exhaled a long breath, feeling that his strategy was somewhat effective.

Finally, the creature got back on its feet, shaking its head slightly before suddenly opening its terrifyingly large mouth.

When it opened its gaping maw, Ye Chen saw clearly that its teeth were entirely black and incredibly sharp, with the mouth opening up as large as a basin.

Ye Chen knew that with his small stature, one careless mistake could get him swallowed whole, so he needed to be very careful.

Initially, he just wanted to teach it a lesson, hoping it would back off, but never expected it would try to kill him at this moment.

If that's the case, Ye Chen definitely couldn't give it any chance and quickly moved to circle around its side.

The creature had already spotted Ye Chen and was preparing to swallow him, but Ye Chen's fast speed got him to the creature's right side in a flash.

The creature slowly turned itself around, and Ye Chen was once again in front of it.

At this moment, Ye Chen calculated that it would take the creature 2-3 seconds to turn around completely.

With this knowledge, Ye Chen planned to use his speed to launch a back attack, believing he could succeed.

Ye Chen seized the opportunity, spinning quickly on the ground, gaining speed. The creature was momentarily stunned.

It had no idea where to focus, slowly spinning in circles, frequently glancing around to lock its eyes on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen found his moment and fiercely kicked towards its lower back, showing no mercy. He unleashed his full power, hitting it with maximum force.

Finally, the full force of his attack landed on the creature, causing it to crash heavily to the ground.

Previously, it might have quickly recovered even if knocked down, but this time it seemed greatly affected and didn't rebound as quickly.
