Yahan scoffed and silently insulted, 'I come from a high-tech society where people can fly in the sky with airplanes and even go to space. I've seen all sorts of amazing things. If you were on our planet, your eyeballs would really get crushed by others. What's the use of strength? Can it even withstand missiles?' Suddenly, he stopped and his face turned grim. 'It's hard to say whether missiles can destroy these creatures. The people here are tough and resilient, and they have immense strength despite such gravity. If it was in Earth's environment, they would be like superheroes.'
