Cave Refuge

If there were no AT field, an EVA would be nothing more than a large target for humans, even before the cataclysms. If we look at the present, considering the capabilities shown in the animation, I dare not say how many, but there would definitely be more than a handful of martial artists from Rabbit's Home capable of taking down this beast alone.

This guy's vulnerability is the same as the titans from Attack on Titan; it's in the neck area. After all, the nerves that control and connect the body all pass through the neck, which is why the cockpit is located there.

Unlike the giants from Attack on Titan, who would die if the flesh around their neck was cut, the so-called vulnerability of an EVA is the position of the cockpit. Attacking the cockpit and destroying it would directly paralyze the EVA.

Don't be fooled by its size, ordinary humans are like fleas in front of it, but precisely because of this, in the absence of the bug-like ability of the AT field—

those powerful martial artists would have the opportunity to climb from the EVA's feet all the way up and eventually reach the neck of the EVA to locate and destroy the cockpit.

Of course, all this is based on the assumption that the fellow lacks an AT field. If this EVA-like creature possesses an AT field, then everything just said might as well be hot air spewed by that mouth below.

The bug-like AT field can completely block physical attacks and high-temperature damage, reflect or splatter pure energy attacks, neutralize and cancel spiritual attacks, and it also allows space teleportation through the AT field, as well as transforming the AT field into a physical form for attacks (collisions or crushing from a high fall).

To say that the AT field, which can completely defend against physical, energy, and even spiritual power attacks, and also has teleportation abilities, is like a bug, doesn't seem too far-fetched.

As Dong Tianyu was pondering whether the big guy below had such a bug-like ability, one being that had grabbed the Fake Yamata no Orochi began to fight back as its arm was entwined and bitten by a snake head.

The reason the giant being used its other hand to grab a snake head that was biting on its own arm was that the arm holding the Fake Yamata no Orochi's body was firmly wrapped by two snake heads. It wanted to forcibly break off the one attached to its body.

The metal-clad hand, upon grabbing a snake head, didn't perform any superfluous movements. It just yanked hard, intending to pull out the snake head biting on its arm directly.

In comparison to the explosive muscles that couldn't even be concealed by its metal shell, the biting force of the snake head was barely worth mentioning.

After grabbing the upper jaw of the snake head, the metal hand pulled back hard. Although the poison fangs on the upper and lower jaws of the snake head were curved, resembling barbs, and typically it would be difficult for caught prey to escape,

when it came to sheer strength, not to mention that it had become an insensate vegetable without the sense of pain, even if it had been capable of feeling pain, being bitten by a snake in such a manner would not only not have caused fear but might have even driven it into a frenzy due to the pain.

The massive hand suddenly exerted force. Before the poison fangs could detach from its forearm, the other gigantic hand that grabbed the snake head had already pulled it to the side. At this moment, four deep holes left by the fangs stuck into its body, with the fangs still hanging on, could be seen on its metal-wrapped forearm.

Those who have watched TV shows or learned first aid know that if you're impaled by something, it's better not to hastily remove the object if you can't immediately stop the bleeding and suture the wound. Let the object act as a stopper, temporarily using it to block the wound, and wait until it's convenient to treat before pulling it out.

Under normal circumstances, this approach is correct. Removing one snake head leaves seven more, so it makes sense there's no time to pull out the snake fangs stuck in the arm.

However, snake fangs are different from other objects. Whether it's cold weapons or bullets, as long as they don't have blood grooves, if they don't get pulled out immediately after penetration, they indeed have the effect of plugging the blood vessels and stopping bleeding.

But the two poison fangs on the upper jaw of most venomous snakes are not like most objects. Normally, the teeth of most venomous snakes are not solid, but hollow, and the hollow part is the channel through which they inject venom into their prey after biting.

Blood spurted out continuously through the hollow part of the broken snake fangs stuck in the arm, even though no blood flowed from the wound where the snake fangs penetrated.

However, the hollow part of the snake fang is very thin, and even though it kept spouting blood, the amount of blood lost in a short time didn't affect the giant creature much.

So even the pilot who was controlling this behemoth, when he noticed the snake fangs embedded in his arm and the blood slowly oozing out, given that he was in the midst of battle and had no better means to stem the bleeding, he could only let it bleed for the time being.

Although the wounds on the body could slowly heal on their own, this regenerative ability is most effective when the body's vitality is strongest.

To suppress any attempts by the creature to rebel and break free from control, the organization that created this behemoth had utilized various methods to enhance its strength and defensive power, but greatly reduced its bodily vitality.

Of course, this suppression wasn't permanent, as every battle would inevitably leave the behemoth injured. If bodily vitality were completely suppressed, then the body wouldn't last for much use.

So generally, it was only after the battle ended and the behemoth was taken to the specially-prepared repair room (hibernation chamber) that the suppression of its bodily vitality would be lifted.

Upon realizing that blood kept spurting from the machine, he casually tied a dead knot on one of the snake heads and then, just like the first one bitten into his arm, he pulled hard and yanked it off the other arm.

After tying a knot in that one too, the fate of the next four snake heads was the same; all were knocked aside after being tied into knots.

Confirming that only two snake heads wrapped around his arms were left, he repeated the same action, only this time omitting the tooth-pulling maneuver.

When all eight snake heads had been tied into knots and tossed together, it was a sight many people would never witness in their lifetimes.

Although a snake could untie itself from knots if left undisturbed, the controlled creature in front of him clearly didn't want to give the Fake Yamata no Orochi time to get out of the knots.

After tying all the snake heads into knots, he let out a ferocious roar and then, with all his might, flung the tied-up Fake Yamata no Orochi towards the sky.

At that moment, Dong Tianyu's gaze followed the upward trajectory, and when the snake heads reached the peak of their ascent and were about to descend, a huge figure swiftly emerged from the clouds, grabbed the Fake Yamata no Orochi's body that had been thrown into the air, and ascended, taking it away.

Seeing the prey he had spent a medium-sized vessel and a full warehouse of fuel to kill, being snatched away while he was still dazed, Dong Tianyu was instantly enraged.

Before Dong Tianyu could reveal himself from invisibility to confront the thief, the colossal creature suddenly raised its head, eyes fixed on Dong Tianyu's position.

Considering the creature's movements, it would have been unbelievable to say that it hadn't noticed Dong Tianyu. Just when Dong Tianyu was about to deactivate his invisibility, a voice suddenly came from above the creature's head:

"The friend who is hiding to watch the battle has already ended. Please appear."

(The hidden friend watching the battle, the fight is now over, please reveal yourself immediately.)

Dong Tianyu was very patriotic, so despite hearing the other person speak in English, he didn't understand the meaning of the sentence just spoken.

Seeing that Dong Tianyu remained standing still without moving, the other party realized he might not understand English, considered that the area theoretically belonged to Basin Chicken territory, and repeated the sentence in Dwarvish.

After seeing that Dong Tianyu still did not respond, he then called out again in Chinese.
