Cave Refuge

Hearing such sounds from the body of the already ignited monster, its intention is self-evident.

Watching the series of tacit coordination in killing and destroying the corpse, one does not need to guess to know that it must be the methods of the Imperial Court.

It seems that the incident caused by the monster this time is a bit serious; otherwise, the Imperial Court would not have rushed to use fighter jets to end the battle.

It is unknown what kind of burning material the Imperial Court used, but the fire burned for over an hour without signs of extinguishing, except for the gradually prolonged crackling sounds.

The flames on the monster's body grew fiercer, but its body did not shrink at all, which defies the normal behavior of meat shrinking upon being cooked.

Now the flames have covered the monster's body for so long without making it shrink in the slightest.

Having noticed this, Dong Tianyu directly used Spiritual Sense Scanning on the monster's body, wanting to know if there were any issues after being engulfed in flames for such a long period.

Seeing that there was still no change, some uninformed people might think the monster was undoubtedly doomed, but through Dong Tianyu's observation with Divine Sense, he discovered that the creature was attempting to absorb the flames covering its body in a very special way, slowly inhaling it into itself.

Yet when the monster tried to absorb the flames, even if it was just a small wisp at the initial attempt, the element of fire, usually warming to the heart, often acts like a tyrant.

Wherever the fire passed, all areas were scorched. If an ordinary person's meridians suffered such burns, they would become cripple immediately and in severe cases, might die on the spot.

However, because the monster had absorbed a lot of blood, though it could no longer regenerate its internal organs as before, repairing the damaged meridians wasn't a big problem.

To Dong Tianyu, this scene felt all too familiar—the monster previously laid in the water, where its body was gnawed upon by the fish.

However, last time, perhaps because the monster's flesh was poisonous, after those fish had gnawed on the body, they were poisoned to death, and their bodies turned back into blood that returned to the monster.

Unlike last time when the dead fish could be transformed back into blood to replenish the monster, this time, the agent eroding its body was a chemical fuel.

Last time, it could obtain blood through the counter-kill of the fish, but this time, it certainly couldn't convert the flames into blood to replenish itself.

Unfortunately, even though the chemical fuel lasted a long time, nothing lasts forever. Hence, as the fire gradually decreased, it still didn't harm the monster's body significantly.

Perhaps it could also be said that though not much blood remained in the monster's body, it had still held on until now. If nothing unexpected happened, the monster could still wait for the blood to repair its body and resurrect once more.

Unfortunately for the monster, with Dong Tianyu observing by the side, an unexpected event was inevitable, making the monster's revival almost impossible.

As Dong Tianyu contemplated, he planned to directly approach it as soon as the flames on the monster's body were about to extinguish, take advantage of its heavily injured state, incapable of any resistance, and use Universe in the Palm to send it into the Cave to be disintegrated.

Otherwise, the monster, like a stubborn cockroach, despite being seriously injured every time, never truly died and only emerged from every resurrection stronger than before.

Faced with a being even harder to kill than the protagonists in novels, Dong Tianyu did not wish to cultivate it. At this moment, he was strong enough to crush enemies beneath his feet, but he didn't know what level of evolution it would reach in the future.

Dong Tianyu didn't want to be like those big villains in games who, upon meeting the protagonist, insist on giving them Sharpener(s) to enhance the protagonist's combat capabilities until they possess enough strength to fight them one-on-one.

Dong Tianyu disliked victories obtained through a struggle with a nine out of ten chance of death. He preferred a style of combat that was utterly overwhelming, the kind where a casual strike could slay the enemy instantly.

Just as Dong Tianyu was about to make a move, he saw several planes appear in the sky again, and compared to the last time they dropped chemical fuel, this time the planes were even larger.

While Dong Tianyu thought that the enemy might do the same as last time, directly dropping combustibles at low altitude to continue destroying the monster's body.

After all, no one would think that the monster couldn't be burnt to death, at most they might just feel they didn't bring enough fuel.

But what Dong Tianyu didn't expect was that although those planes still lowered their altitude, they also opened their cargo holds.

But unlike the previous time when they dropped combustibles swiftly and efficiently, this time after opening the cargo holds, it wasn't barrels of alcohol that appeared, but many well-equipped soldiers.

As for the paratroopers jumping out one after another from the cargo holds, Dong Tianyu didn't pay too much attention, after all, he currently had no contact with the Magic City Government, so the soldiers slowly descending through the air probably had nothing to do with him.

But just when Dong Tianyu was somewhat bored and about to look around at the scenery elsewhere, he suddenly noticed a few big fellows being tossed out of the cargo hold.

Upon seeing those big fellows, the corners of Dong Tianyu's mouth twitched.

Good grief! Dong Tianyu never imagined that this time the airdrop wasn't just fuel, but also supplies and personnel.

What Dong Tianyu least expected was that the last few to leave the cargo hold were several tanks.

At this time, if other objects could still be manually replicated, but for something as big as tanks, if one was still using purely manual methods of production, let alone manufacture tanks, even making cars would be hard to achieve several units in a month.

And because of this, after realizing whom those planes belonged to, he once again had confirmation.

Seeing so many supplies sent over by the Imperial Court, Dong Tianyu felt somewhat abnormal.

The Imperial Court delivered so many things in one go, they must have left behind even more things, and now that it's come to this point, those unimportant matters related to supplies are not worth mentioning.

But at this time, to be able to send over tanks, and judging from the scratches on the tanks' exteriors from training, they seemed to still be over eighty percent new.

Along with the heavy sound of the tanks crashing to the ground, in fact, Dong Tianyu did think of using Flying Swords and Invisibility Technique to intercept those tanks in the air.

It's just that after pondering for a long while, Dong Tianyu ultimately did not make a move.

The reason Dong Tianyu chose to give up the idea of intercepting them early was that if he got those tanks, at most he would just collect them as rather well-preserved collectibles.

But if the Magic City Government received those tanks, then should any real problem arise in the future, the Government would take the initiative to step in.

Having not rested well for several days, Dong Tianyu, who was ready to go back and sleep in, suddenly remembered he seemed to have forgotten something.

Dong Tianyu suddenly recalled, shouldn't the most important thing right now be to find a way to completely eliminate that monster, even if reinforcements have appeared halfway, but isn't the purpose of these reinforcements the same, to eliminate that monster?

But ever since seeing the airdrop of reinforcements, it seemed like everyone had subconsciously ignored the monster, realizing the issue, Dong Tianyu immediately shifted his gaze back towards the monster.
