Cave Refuge

Of course, during this critical time, some minor accidents would occasionally occur, but once a clear person in charge was present, those small issues were immediately resolved on site and did not affect everyone's evacuation pace.

Mrs. Thompson, who was following the Officials' command to evacuate with others, initially thought of contacting Dong Tianyu to inquire about her son's situation.

However, just as Mrs. Thompson was about to contact Dong Tianyu, Mr. Thompson stopped her, and while she was about to ask Mr. Thompson why he was preventing her from contacting their son, she heard Mr. Thompson calmly explain: "The Officials have already initiated this emergency evacuation alert.

The situation on our son's side must not be good either, and at this time, it is still unknown whether our son is in a safe area.

If you contact him now, and he doesn't answer your call, you'll probably start thinking negatively. But there's another possibility; your call might interfere with his next actions or even directly expose his location.

Both scenarios are possible, and if it's the first, you're merely going to worry a bit, but if it's the second, your call could bring a huge problem to our son, turning a situation that could have been smoothly handled into something dangerous and complex."

Although Mrs. Thompson knew deep down that Mr. Thompson's exaggerated claims were unlikely to happen, she was momentarily disconcerted by his scare tactics.

At this moment, it seemed like Mrs. Thompson had two little figures debating over her head, one black and one white.

The one in white clothes screamed desperately at the other in black clothes: "I just want to know about my son's safety now, stop talking about all these what-ifs, contacting him earlier might help us go to his rescue if he encounters any trouble."

After the black-clad figure finished shouting, the one in white clothes spoke slowly and methodically: "Nobody knows the situation on our son's side right now, calling him rashly might hinder what he intends to do."

The two figures continued to argue in Mrs. Thompson's mind, with neither being able to convince the other.

Despite the clash of these two competing thoughts, Mrs. Thompson's work did not stop.

Actually, during this emergency evacuation, the Thompson family, like others, didn't have much time to prepare, but, compared to other families who were frantically packing useful stuff in the house, the Thompsons had it much simpler. They moved everything movable directly into the Storage space, and in less than a minute, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson merged into the Officials-organized evacuation group.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu was also hesitant about making the call, especially since he had noticed the situation inside the Magic Capital Base when following that monster. Hence, he speculated whether his parents might be in the team evacuating from the Magic Capital Base.

If he calls his parents now, would it cause them to be distracted and consequently delay their evacuation?

Worried that his parents wouldn't have enough time to leave the Magic Capital Base, Dong Tianyu decided to delay that massive creature.

Facing such a colossal beast, there were many ways to interfere with its progress, but for a one-time success, Dong Tianyu chose the most dangerous but most likely successful plan.

The giant creature's body reminded Dong Tianyu of an anime from before the Natural Disaster.

Dong Tianyu used the Sword Control to swiftly reach the monster's nape and then used the Flying Swords to rapidly smash the monster's nape, initially wanting to test if it was possible to disable the creature's mobility by damaging its neural system there. Even if it didn't affect the creature's mobility, Dong Tianyu had a backup plan.

However, when Dong Tianyu, relying on the Flying Swords, sliced through the creature's nape skin, the creature reacted instantly. Although it continued moving forward without even turning its head, the shoulders and the hands below its shoulders, like swatting flies, directly smashed towards the position where Dong Tianyu was.

Upon detecting the attack from the gigantic limbs, Dong Tianyu immediately took out the prepared explosives from the Storage space. He then inserted the gigantic explosives, which were already equipped with a timing device and were about two meters in diameter, directly into the back of the neck he had just destroyed with the Flying Swords.

Watching the massive hand that blocked out the sun about to strike him, after completing the last step, Dong Tianyu immediately used Sword Control to swiftly flee the area.

As the giant hand slammed down heavily on the monster's neck with a loud 'boom', it directly bounced the hand that was covering the monster's neck.

After the giant hand left, Dong Tianyu saw a huge deep pit at the position of the monster's neck, and it was unclear if it was due to the high temperatures from the explosion. The neck had sustained a massive cavity, but the surrounding flesh appeared charred and didn't leak any blood.

This noise made by Dong Tianyu at the monster's neck indeed stopped the monster in its tracks; it then turned its head directly toward where Dong Tianyu was.

Dong Tianyu never expected that, even after such provocative actions, the monster would merely turn its head to glance at him before continuing towards the Magic Capital Base.

Watching the unretaliated behavior that still carried on its way, Dong Tianyu wanted to complain but held back and pondered another strategy, when suddenly he witnessed something shocking.

The neck that had previously been blasted open by his explosives had recovered in the blink of an eye; what's more, the area that had been blown apart was now completely filled with fresh flesh.

Dong Tianyu never expected the monster in front of him to have such strong regenerative capabilities.

Seeing it continue on its way, head unturned, Dong Tianyu prepared to strike again. While the previous attack hadn't completely stopped the monster, it had admittedly slowed its pace slightly.

Although it was only a few seconds, extending this time might allow more people to evacuate from the Magic Capital Base.

This time, Dong Tianyu cleverly chose not to target the previously attacked neck area but opted for the spine. However, as soon as he lacerated the skin on its back with the Flying Swords, four giant hands suddenly appeared behind him.

Perhaps because of the previous tactic, realizing that direct physical attacks were futile against Dong Tianyu, this time the four giant hands changed their combat method - showering the region around Dong Tianyu with torrents of acidic liquid.

At this moment, if Dong Tianyu insisted on widening the wound and planting the explosives inside it, he definitely wouldn't have enough time.

Since Dong Tianyu only intended to hinder its progress slightly without risking a deadly confrontation, he decisively abandoned his subsequent actions and immediately left the area at high speed.

Just as Dong Tianyu left, the four blobs of acidic liquid directly covered the monster's skin where Dong Tianyu had inflicted a wound.

Looking at the back doused in acid, even though he had just made a cut there with his Flying Swords,

the corrosively damaged area, rather than worsening, healed at an alarmingly fast rate.

Since Dong Tianyu had already been shocked by the healing speed at its neck, he was no longer surprised at seeing such rapid regeneration elsewhere.

Just when Dong Tianyu was prepared to regroup and find a new location, he oddly felt as though something had set its sights on him. While he wondered who might be targeting him at such a time, he suddenly saw the four arms on the monster, with palms facing directly towards the area where Dong Tianyu was stationed at the moment.
