Chapter Summary
Each time a fireball struck, the massive being howled, indicating that these things could harm it, but its body would quickly recover. He used to be able to easily deal with them when attacking, but now, with their rapid self-growth, no matter how powerful his attacks were, he couldn't do anything to them. Liu Ning and his companion hadn't even unleashed their full power, so the octopus monster was somewhat fearful.
The magician wasn't idle either, quickly throwing fireballs at the creature. Each time a fireball struck, the massive being howled, indicating that these things could harm it, but its body would quickly recover. Such healing ability was truly astonishing. Liu Ning had indeed encountered a similar situation when chasing Dr. Chawabe, but this creature seemed far more powerful, with a recovery speed at least 100 times faster. How should we deal with such a thing? No matter what we do, it can recover quickly, which is extremely dangerous. Are we just going to stand by and watch?
Seeing this formidable self-growth ability, the mage beside him was speechless. He used to be able to easily deal with them when attacking, but now, with their rapid self-growth, no matter how powerful his attacks were, he couldn't do anything to them. This was the most frustrating thing. If they didn't care, if their magic power were unlimited, they could just wear this guy down. They knew that the new growth wasn't much of a threat to them; if they could outlast him, it wouldn't be a problem. But judging from his size, it was practically impossible to outlast him.
Although this ferocious beast had the upper hand for the time being, it wasn't stupid. While it could suppress the two humans in front of it, this wasn't its true intention. It wanted to devour all the humans outside. If it was just wasting time with these two, all the other humans would have already fled. Where would it find them? For these ferocious beasts, their greatest desire was to eat humans. If it defeated these two, it would be completely exhausted. There were quite a few humans around. Earlier, inside the spaceship, it was because this beast blocked the way in that the humans attacked it en masse. They hadn't expected it to be so strong. In fact, it was this beast that saved their lives; otherwise, none of them would be able to get out now. This was very important.
For Liu Ning and his companion, retreating at this point was perfectly feasible. The octopus monster had realized it was no match for them, and if the stalemate continued, the situation could escalate. Liu Ning and his companion hadn't even unleashed their full power, so the octopus monster was somewhat fearful. Becoming acquainted with these two would likely lead to nothing good. The best course of action was to get rid of them and find another way to do something else, like eating everyone around them. Unfortunately, these two were like glue; once they bonded, they wouldn't let go. This was something the octopus monster hadn't anticipated. It truly wished it hadn't encountered such creatures before.
Liu Ning and his companion were acutely aware that if they retreated now, none of the people around them would survive. Despite their speed, everyone knew where they were headed. How large could the ancient ruins be? At first, it seemed vast, but now it was clear that it couldn't possibly be that big under the current conditions. Everyone understood that it was highly unlikely to become enormous. They could all see that if things continued this way, they would all perish. Therefore, they desperately hoped Liu Ning and his companion could resolve the situation; otherwise, they would have no chance of survival.
Liu Ning and his companion understood this, so even though the threat was immense, they showed no sign of backing down. They knew perfectly well that if they retreated, all of them would be doomed. The death toll was already high; if everyone perished here, it would be detrimental to humanity. Humanity needed progress, not bloodshed. Unfortunately, most people didn't understand this; they were only thinking of profiting. Now, they hadn't gained anything, and instead, they themselves were in grave danger. Because of this, none of them had a chance of survival. Liu Ning and his companion had to hold on, otherwise, even more people would die.
Zhao Lele and Miss Cheng were well aware of the situation, so there was no way these two girls would stay with Liu Ning. Fortunately, Mr. Lin Lei had obtained such a wonderful treasure that he could put the two of them inside it. If they had been sent anywhere else, it would have been a disaster. Who knows what would have happened to the people around them? Although they hoped that Liu Ning could defeat the octopus monster, if Zhao Lele appeared next to them, they might take risks. They had seen those two treasures before, and if they could get their hands on one of them, it would be priceless. They could use it to threaten Liu Ning, so they were capable of anything.
At this moment, Liu Ning punched the guy on the head. It had already been clearly explained that swords and similar weapons wouldn't be effective against him because of his incredible regenerative abilities. Therefore, Liu Ning adopted a different approach: relying on his own immense strength. When his strength was sufficient, he could easily inflict a concussion with a single punch. This was essentially winning through brute force, a method Liu Ning had recently discovered. Liu Ning's powerful blow had left the guy momentarily stunned for 0.5 seconds. The nearby mage also attacked with a fireball, and it was clearly visible that the recovery speed wasn't as fast. This must be the guy's weakness. We must find his weakness; otherwise, we'll fight all day without any results.
