Cave Refuge

Hmm.

Alright.

To be honest, he was somewhat afraid of Dong Tianyu deep down, after all, according to how the cultivators' combat methods were depicted in the novels, they had not only various powerful spells for direct killing but also those incredibly bizarre tactics that could silently curse someone to death from a distance.

Therefore, for him, it was best not to make an enemy of Dong Tianyu if it could be avoided.

Maybe some would say, as a foreigner who liked reading China's novels, even in this apocalyptic world, and now within the Giant God Soldier, why fear Dong Tianyu, a man who, on the surface, seemed to have nothing?

Perhaps he was different from others; it was because he was piloting the Giant God Soldier and his fondness for China's novels that he took Dong Tianyu so seriously at this moment.

If he did not read novels or personally pilot the Giant Mech, at this moment, he wouldn't have such a high level of fidelity towards Dong Tianyu, who was standing on the Flying Swords.

The reason is just as mentioned before; delving into novels could indeed enhance one's personal experience.

If he did not frequently read novels, perhaps when he became a pilot of the Giant God Soldier, he would only think he was driving a huge robot. But as someone who enjoyed novels and liked to understand various settings and affairs within them,

after becoming the pilot of the Giant God Soldier and personally experiencing and attempting to control it, he found that the Giant God Soldier bore a striking resemblance to a special type of mech described in the novels and had even gone out of his way to watch the original anime after first reading about this special mech.

Because he had watched the original anime, he understood even more that what he was piloting was almost identical to the mechs in the novels and anime. The only difference was, he hadn't yet encountered an opponent with an AT field, and he didn't know whether the Giant God Soldier he was piloting also possessed that bug-level ability, the AT field.

Since he was piloting a Giant Mech that mirrored those in the anime, watching Dong Tianyu maneuvering the Sword Control in the air made him believe that Dong Tianyu also possessed the cultivators' abilities from the novels.

At this moment, chatting with Dong Tianyu was not only because he feared being targeted by him but also because he wanted to buy time for his teammate, who had the ability to fly and was taking the eight-headed snake monster away, to return.

Once he handed over the prey to the organization and his teammate who came to pick him up returned, he would be fearless whether it meant battle or peace.

While Dong Tianyu didn't know the real thoughts of his counterpart at the moment, the fact that the other was buying time was crystal clear to Dong Tianyu.

But if the other party was buying time, wasn't Dong Tianyu doing the same?

Although Dong Tianyu didn't have teammates like the other party, he possessed Spiritual Treasures that only cultivators could use.

The other party knew that Dong Tianyu was a cultivator and understood that cultivators had all sorts of bizarre tactics, always keeping his attention on Dong Tianyu.

But what he failed to notice was that the Hundred Ghosts Banner had appeared behind Dong Tianyu at some point, and with the Banner swaying continuously, one fierce ghost after another walked out from it.

While the fierce ghosts from the Hundred Ghosts Banner usually attacked as shadows, they inherently possessed the ability to become invisible.

This time, all the fierce ghosts that emerged from behind Dong Tianyu were in an invisible state.

The other party was able to detect Dong Tianyu by relying on sonar radar scanning, simply put, like a Bat, emitting sound waves undetectable by ordinary people; if the waves continued to spread out in ripples, it meant there were no other creatures around.

However, if the ripples became disordered after passing through a certain area, it would confirm that there was a tangible entity hiding, capable of obstructing the ripples, thus revealing Dong Tianyu, who was invisible and floating in the air.

Although sonar could detect Dong Tianyu, who was invisible in the sky, it could not detect those invisible fierce ghosts; after all, though the ghosts should also be considered energy bodies, the sound waves would become chaotic when colliding with an energy body during their spread.

But the fierce ghosts could transform into incorporeal beings, not only could they pass through solids, but ordinary sound waves and ordinary energy could also travel freely without being affected.

At this time, Dong Tianyu had been in conversation with the opponent for so long not simply to argue for justice directly, but rather first sent a stealthy fierce ghost to probe, wanting to see if the opponent could produce a giant mech like those in EVA.

If that giant mech indeed possessed the bug-like AT field capability of the EVA mechs, then Dong Tianyu, not wishing to trouble himself, would probably choose to accept his bad luck,

But if not, then the big guy on the other side would be at his mercy.

After some experimentation, Dong Tianyu hadn't yet ascertained for certain whether the opponent had an AT field, a divine technique, but at least was sure that even if the giant robot did have an AT field, it wouldn't be like in the anime, where it seemed an automatic ability of the giant mech.

Even if the opponent possessed the bug-like capability of the AT field, it would at best be an active ability, and such a powerful power, even if possessed, would probably consume a lot; it likely couldn't be maintained for long periods.

Otherwise, the fierce ghost he sent for probing couldn't have easily approached the opponent's giant mech or even entered the body of the giant robot and found the cockpit where the pilot was located.

Having confirmed that his arranged fierce ghost had entered the opponent's cockpit and found the pilot controlling the big fellow, Dong Tianyu's expression suddenly relaxed.

After all, Dong Tianyu could now say he controlled the life and death of his opponent, so his attitude towards the other naturally became more laid back as well.

However, when Peter saw the sudden relaxed demeanor on Dong Tianyu's face, his hair stood on end, and he became very tense.

He knew well that in a standoff, one side being particularly vigilant against their opponent should not suddenly show a much more relaxed expression.

There are only two explanations for this: one is that the party believes there is definitely no fight to be had; the second is that the life and death of the other is in their hands.

Even though the atmosphere appeared quite peaceful at this moment, Peter couldn't be sure whether the peace between them could be maintained as it was.

So, since even he didn't believe it to be the first case, Dong Tianyu showing a relaxed expression undoubtedly meant the second scenario was true, that is, the opponent now felt he had control over Peter's life and death.

Having hatched this idea in his mind, Peter, feeling very strange inside, not only did not refute but actually agreed wholeheartedly.

Just like Peter had said earlier, he always felt that not only did his name match Spider-Man's, but they both also possessed this chilling skill called 'Peter.'

Having confirmed his thoughts, Peter, who was originally tense and kept his attention fixed on Dong Tianyu, suddenly relaxed, since he was highly focused only because of the uncertainty.

But now, having detected that the opponent could control his life and death, he instead withdrew from his tense state and became much more relaxed.

The now-more-relaxed Peter, contrary to his usual behavior, directly addressed Dong Tianyu, "Are you now in a position to claim victory?"

Dong Tianyu hadn't expected that the ghost he dispatched for probing had barely entered the opponents' cockpit when they so keenly noticed something amiss.

But since the opponent had already discovered the fierce ghost he sent, why could it still be ensnared, allowing the ghost to enter his cockpit with ease?

Could it be that the cockpit the ghost entered was just a decoy deliberately created by them to deceive the enemy into thinking it was the core area when in fact it was a trap they had set?

So, hearing the opponent's question, Dong Tianyu did not respond immediately but arranged for other fierce ghosts to carry out a comprehensive check on the big fellow to see if there were other hidden core areas in parts of its body.
