Chapter 709: Parasite
To prevent the detonator from failing to work properly due to wound healing, Dong Tianyu set the explosion timer very short. Fortunately, Sword Flight was swift, so by the time the detonator triggered the explosives, Dong Tianyu had already reached a safe area.
Though Dong Tianyu had successfully stuffed the explosives into the monster's neck and activated the timed detonation device.
However, the Martial Artists charging toward the monster at sea to halt its advance were unaware of this, so at this moment they were still launching nuisance attacks on the creature.
The Martial Artists who were initially trying various methods to attack the monster suddenly heard a loud bang above them, and then saw the monster's huge head somehow blasted off, its body that had been upright on the water surface now collapsed, smashing into the water.
Their initial aim in attacking the monster was not to kill it outright but to delay its progress, so as to buy enough time for survivors in the Magic Capital Base to retreat and escape.
But looking at the head that exploded and flew off above them, it seemed that not only was their mission accomplished, but they had vastly exceeded their original plan.
Dong Tianyu hadn't expected the military explosives provided by Thomas Jefferson to be so powerful. Although his initial plan was to blast off its neck with the bomb, Dong Tianyu had been prepared for the worst before the explosion.
After all, the monster's performance had already demonstrated a strong self-healing ability—blasting a deep hole in its neck, it could rapidly recover in the blink of an eye. With such formidable Life Vitality, nobody would believe this type of monster was easy to kill.
Fortunately, Thomas Jefferson hadn't lied; the power of the military Explosives he provided was indeed as he claimed.
As the monster's head was blown up into the air, Dong Tianyu immediately used Sword Control to close in, and then directly opened a Space Transmission Channel, sending the massive head into the Cave. Just as the head entered the Cave, to prevent any accidents, Dong Tianyu immediately activated the decomposition function.
The moment the enormous head entered the Cave, it vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
It was only after the body of the head in the space had completely disappeared that Dong Tianyu finally relaxed completely.
The main reason Dong Tianyu was so panicked earlier was because the monster's head, while flying into the sky after becoming detached from the body, still maintained a sharp gaze through its eyes.
Looking at the head, even though it was completely separated from the body and flying in the air, its facial expression remained so natural, it was as if the person whose head was severed was not it.
Moreover, most importantly, despite the explosion that had just severed the monster's head from its body, the flesh at the severed area which should have been charred from the blast was actually sprouting granulation tissue at an extremely fast pace.
Judging by this situation, if the monster's head were simply placed back onto its body, it would likely resurrect immediately as if nothing had happened.
Facing this scenario, Dong Tianyu had no desire to gamble on whether the monster could resurrect itself.
Dong Tianyu wouldn't imitate the villains in movies and dramas, knowing full well the enemy was already severely injured and weakened yet negligently allowing them to escape, subsequently arrogantly proclaiming: "Since I could kill you once, I can kill you again."
Villains in movies and dramas who utter such childish taunts almost never have a good ending.
So Dong Tianyu decided to eradicate the problem at its roots. Since the head had already been blown off, he directly sent the head to the Cave to be decomposed, absolutely preventing any chance for the enemy to resurrect.
Had it not been for the Martial Artists on the water surface collecting the blood already mixing with the sea using various containers, Dong Tianyu might have used Universe in the Palm to send the enormous body that had sunk into the sea bottom to the Cave.
But at this time, seeing everyone busy on the water surface, Dong Tianyu knew he could no longer retrieve the body that sank into the sea, so he simply didn't linger there any longer and instead decided to return directly to check the situation with his parents.
Those Martial Artists on the water surface had confirmed that the color of the giant monster's blood was different from human blood; normal human blood should be red, whereas the blood from within the monster was green.
Seeing the blood gushing from the monster's neck like a waterfall, the Martial Artists on the sea surface suddenly realized—when the monster had stopped moving forward and the surrounding sea water turned green, it was because it had already been injured, hence its halt.
After seeing there likely wouldn't be more to bother him, Dong Tianyu prepared to use Sword Flight to return to the base from the air.
Although the size of the monster that emerged from the Space Transmission Channel this time far exceeded any before, if it had engaged in invasion on Blue Star like originally, then the battle would definitely not have ended so quickly.
And when that monster, shackled by iron chains, was sent here, the other side decisively and immediately closed the Transmission Channel.
By the action of choosing to fail rather than let the monster remain here, it was evident that the monster must be difficult to deal with.
Although Dong Tianyu, in order to kill the monster, had used up all the military Explosives in his Storage space, and also collected the willful huge head into the Cave, immediately decomposing it after.
