Cave Refuge

As the Flying Swords shuttled back and forth through the swarm of monsters in the Sword Array formation, the patch of sky right in front of Dong Tianyu was like a spatial channel in the distance that had expanded to its limit, with things continuously falling from it to the ground below.

Even as the Sword Array swiftly cleared the Bat Monsters rushing towards Dong Tianyu's side,

the speed of the Flying Swords in clearing them out couldn't keep up with the number of monsters being transported through the spatial channel.

Watching the Bat Monsters withstand the slaughter of the Flying Swords and inching closer towards Dong Tianyu's side,

suddenly, a series of explosions erupted in the sky, like fireworks.

Each of these unexpected explosions were set off in the densely populated areas of monsters, every explosion taking the lives of four or five creatures. Even if some surrounding monsters weren't killed outright, the fierce blasts were enough to stun them, causing them to plummet from the sky afterward.

Witnessing these sudden explosions, Dong Tianyu looked around and realized that the survivors who were originally standing on the deck watching the battle, could see that the massive Space Transmission Channel in the sky was still continuously supplying reinforcements to Blue Star.

As the enemy reinforcements kept increasing in number, the Martial Artists watching the battle from the deck understood that even with their strong personal abilities, facing such a clear battle of attrition, they might not last long.

Being Chinese People, how could they not understand the principle of mutual dependence for survival? Hence, seeing the uninterruptedly increasing number of monsters in the sky, besides taking the initiative to strike, they had no other choice.

At this moment, those who possessed the ability to fly and still retained strong combat abilities in the sky were either Martial Artists in the Path Entry Realm or Awakeners with Special Abilities.

Therefore, those Martial Artists who took the initiative to fly into the sky to fight typically also possessed formidable combat strength.

Especially those Martial Artists in the Path Entry Realm, each time they swung their weapons, they would eject powerful Sword Light or Saber Radiance. The monsters, upon encountering the Sword or Saber Radiance, would be injured on contact, and touching it meant death.

However, even now, not only had some people taken to the skies to help in battle, but others without the ability to fly and still on the sea were using long-range weapons to assist in combat.

But above the vast expanse of sea, the huge Space Transmission Channel allows dozens or hundreds of monsters to pass through every second, leaving their Otherworldly realm and arriving at Blue Star.

At this point, although humanity held an absolute overwhelming advantage in the air, comparing with the speed of troop transport pouring like beans into the sky, to be honest, the number of creatures humans killed wasn't greater than the number transported to Blue Star.

Moreover, the most crucial point was that not all the creatures crossing the spatial channel to arrive at Blue Star joined the battle. Those Bat Monsters far from the combat zone had no intention of joining the fight and didn't linger, leaving the area and flying straight in other directions.

Watching more and more monsters leave the area, although everyone already realized that they could not fully stop the monsters' invasion of Blue Star,

after all, a spatial channel several kilometers in diameter - along with both the seafaring and airborne survivors which probably added up to around 1800 people - simply wasn't sufficient to block such a massive invasion, neither in scale nor ability.

Perhaps it was for that reason that, although those people also actively joined the battle, everyone was using low-energy-consuming maneuvers instead of initiating large-scale attacks.

Let's not even mention those Awakeners who obtained Special Abilities to fly; let's just talk about those Martial Artists still fighting in the air in the Path Entry Realm.

Any Martial Artist who reached the Path Entry Realm, though unable to possess mythical abilities like Moving Mountains and Seas, could actually accomplish feats like Sword Level Cliff and Sword Energy Divides the Sea.

While those Martial Artists still attacked with Sword and Saber Radiance, creating a Sword Qi or Saber Radiance ten to eight meters long was actually not difficult if they were to use their full capabilities.

At this point in time, the conduct of these Martial Artists brought forth some doubts in Dong Tianyu's heart.

If they did not want to join the battle, they could have simply stayed on the deck just now and then left the area by boat.

But if they wanted to join the battle, their engagement in a fight that seemed half-hearted left him wondering what they were actually trying to accomplish.

As Dong Tianyu hesitated whether to take out the Three Flags and start a massacre, he suddenly heard a deep resonance from the Space Transmission Channel.

Following the sound, Dong Tianyu's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

When Dong Tianyu saw a monster bound all over with iron chains being sent through the Space Transmission Channel to Blue Star, his mind went blank in an instant.

Although other people couldn't observe the true appearance of the monster because it was completely wrapped in iron chains,

just by looking at the massive body cocooned in chains, and the way the surrounding monsters shuddered and tried to avoid it, one could tell that the creature within was not easy to deal with.

As the creature arrived on Blue Star, the Bat Monsters that were originally besieging Dong Tianyu and the others sensed its presence, and all actively disengaged from combat, then left the area without looking back, fleeing in different directions.

In less than a minute, the previously heated battlefield cooled down abruptly, quickly returning to calm.

Some, either faint of heart or aware of their relative weakness, decisively left the scene.

Perhaps because the earlier battle was intense, the Magic Capital Base, upon learning the situation here, immediately dispatched reinforcements.

Besides this batch that had already arrived, the Officials were also organizing a third wave of reinforcements.

However, the Officials didn't expect that their frantic efforts to send reinforcements would ultimately be a step late.

Reinforcements intended for a vast number of enemies arrived only to find that the enemies had already voluntarily retreated.

Yet, although the vast number of enemies had disappeared, before leaving, they sent over a gigantic creature all wrapped in iron chains.

As the enormous being completely exited the Space Transmission Channel and was sent to this side, the Space Transmission Channel above the ocean, as if its mission was complete or discarding a hot potato, vanished from the sky with extreme speed.

Watching the giant creature just completely exit the Space Transmission Channel as it immediately closed and vanished, everyone's expressions turned ugly.

When the giant creature bound in chains heavily smashed into the sea surface, causing a heaven-startling tidal wave,

those on the sea could only firmly grasp their Companion Spiritual Treasures to anchor themselves.

Compared to regular ships, even in the face of great waves, Companion Spiritual Treasures would not sink, so those on board only had to ensure they would not be thrown overboard by the turbulence to avoid a shipwreck.

As the huge creature plummeted into the ocean depths, the Surging Waves and Tide caused by its fall gradually subsided.

They had expected violent struggles as the creature fell to the ocean floor, but reality was different from their prediction.

After sinking into the water, the creature was like an inanimate object, stirring no waves at all.

However, as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. With the creature showing no reaction at the bottom of the sea, there were some bold enough to approach it on their own initiative.

Circling the giant creature that seemed lifeless, some cautiously approached it with various measuring devices for inspection, while others, more daring, directly took out tools trying to cut through the chains – not to sever them all and check inside but to cut off a part to take back for laboratory analysis.

Perhaps because the creature was so large, the person who sought to take a portion couldn't locate the end of the chains after a long search.

Annoyed after searching for a long while, the person simply chose a spot at random and began destroying it.
