Cave Refuge

After all, it was just a probing attack. Even if this assault could not achieve the result Zachary wanted, it wouldn't affect him much. If worse came to worst, he would just switch to another method to continue probing.

Compared to the last time when the Flying Swords passed through the battleship's Energy Barrier without any obstacles, this time, as the Flying Swords were about to approach the battleship, the warship had already detected the high-speed Flying Swords heading towards them. The Close Defense Cannons on the deck rapidly fired a barrage of bullets that intertwined like chains in an attempt to block the swords' advance.

However, perhaps due to a misjudgment of the Flying Swords' flight speed, coupled with the fact that the swords hadn't yet entered the Energy Barrier and were still controlled by Zachary, even the barrage-like bullets from the Close Defense Cannons failed to hit any of the swords.

Once the Flying Swords breached the Energy Barrier, just like the previous time, they instantly lost control. Although Zachary learned from the last experience and aimed the swords not at the Close Defense Cannons on the deck but at the higher Command Tower, the swords eventually hit the battleship's hull below.

But unlike the silent impact of the last time, this time, as the swords pierced into the ship's hull at high speed, the C4 Explosives wrapped around the swords were instantly detonated by the fierce impact, with each sword wrapped in five kilograms of C4 by Zachary.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of Explosives on each sword was enough to demolish a building, not to mention that this time, Zachary didn't fire just one Flying Sword but six.

Just as Zachary had anticipated, the moment the Flying Swords collided with the hull, the violent impact immediately detonated the Explosives wrapped around them.

Accompanied by continuous explosions, the blast points on the underside of the ship were enveloped in smoke. Observing the smoke from the explosions, a bad thought suddenly crossed Zachary's mind.

After all, in the vast majority of dramas or novels, there has always been a trope of smoke without harm, although this is not commonly seen in reality, it was not a good sign at this moment.

Sure enough, after the smoke cleared, just like the foreboding feeling he had earlier, the continuous explosions had caused no significant damage to the hull. Even at the center of the explosions, one could only see the holes where the Flying Swords entered the hull, with the rest of the ship remaining unscathed.

Seeing his second probing attack ineffective, Dong Tianyu was not too discouraged. After all, even before the era of Natural Disasters, no aircraft carrier from any Zoo would be damaged by such a small quantity of Explosives.

As Dong Tianyu was preparing for the third probe, the enemy, apparently having traced the trajectory of the Flying Swords, estimated Dong Tianyu's current position and immediately started a full coverage bombardment.

The level of counterattack from the warship was nothing to fear for the likes of Dong Tianyu, and even if the intended target had been a Martial Artist in the Energy Refining Realm, it would not pose much of a threat to them.

After all, even with a large-scale blanket bombarding by the cannons, the Martial Artist's sharp Sixth Sense would warn of the danger and perhaps allow them to start dodging before the shells were even fired.

Perhaps knowing that this level of attack would not inflict much damage on the enemy, the warship only fired one round of blanket bombardment before ceasing.

After all, compared to the vast size of the warship, the current Zachary standing on the Flying Swords was like an ant to them. Even if Zachary did not intentionally conceal himself, it would take a long time and careful searching for the enemy to spot him.

And once Zachary employed the Invisibility Technique to hide, even if he attacked actively like he just did, the enemy could only calculate the approximate position from which Zachary launched the attack based on the trajectory of the Flying Swords. If Zachary chose to attack with guerrilla tactics, the enemy could do nothing but passively take the hits like targets.

Fortunately, Dong Tianyu's attack was as insignificant to the warship as scratching through boots – it had not been effective in the slightest. If Dong Tianyu did not have a more powerful attack method up his sleeve, the enemy might simply ignore him.

Zachary had always lacked the means to combat large creatures; that is to say, he had never cultivated any powerful Combat Magic. His past battles with giant creatures were either directly targeting their vital points or killing them with bombs.

The reason for this was firstly because using bombs had been sufficient to solve the problem, and secondly, if Dong Tianyu wanted to learn new Spells, he would necessarily have to spend Survival Points to exchange them from the Library Tower, though he had accumulated quite a few Survival Points up to now.

However, since Zachary wanted to upgrade Cave as soon as possible, he opted to make do without spending Survival Points, especially as encounters with large creatures were not frequent, making it unnecessary to spend a large amount of Survival Points for this purpose.

Even facing a massive warship this time, Dong Tianyu did not plan to use Survival Points to cultivate any powerful Techniques. Although he could not quickly and directly destroy the warship, Zachary believed he could take care of the controllers inside the ship.

As long as all the crew members inside the warship were killed, Zachary could then collect the warship into Cave for disassembly, slightly boosting the material reserves in Cave.
