Chapter 914: Chapter 910: Terrifying Regeneration Ability
Not only them, but everyone present stared intently until the light from the fireball became too intense to look at directly, forcing them to reluctantly cover their eyes.
After using that move, Xiao Tian’s breathing became heavier, and he quickly adjusted his breath to rapidly recover his True Qi.
In fact, Xiao Tian had much more efficient and powerful moves at his disposal, which consumed less True Qi, but he couldn’t truly use them.
Because those moves carried his strong personal signature, and if he used them, his identity would be instantly revealed.
Even if those present couldn’t immediately recognize him, the danger would at least double when he acted under the guise of Xiao Erren later.
Now, as long as the Water Drop Organization hasn’t uncovered his identity, the pressure remains somewhat reduced for him.
Although the absolute elites of the Water Drop Organization are currently gathering below Kunlun Mountain, preparing intensively for the competition to seize the mysterious legacy, the organization’s internal structure is naturally half-empty.
But Xiao Tian understands the principle that the few cannot withstand the many — even if he’s not afraid of thieves stealing, he can’t afford to not be wary of thieves conspiring.
Therefore, even if the moves he uses now seem a bit less effective, Xiao Tian still considers this the most prudent approach.
The people present, though unable to watch directly with their eyes, each utilized their Perception Power to monitor the giant creature’s reaction upon colliding with the fireball.
Dozens of overlapping perception fields from different individuals created visible ripples in the space, seemingly obstructing the flow of air.
However, these weren’t the focus of the crowd’s attention.
Next, with nearly twenty experts, including Xiao Tian, concentrating their focus, the fireball swiftly approached the giant creature’s eyes.
Sensing danger, the giant creature immediately retreated diagonally backward but was ultimately a step too late and was hit fiercely by the fireball on its shoulder.
A sizzling noise, akin to grilling iron plates, ensued, and the armor covering the giant creature’s exterior began to melt like wax and emitted white steam, blocking everyone’s perception.
Finally, as the white steam gradually dispersed, revealing the giant creature’s form, everyone was astonished.
They saw that starting from the shoulder down to the chest, a large damaged area had appeared on the giant creature, which seemed unable to withstand the impact.
Members of the Water Drop Organization witnessing this scene felt a rush of fear, involuntarily imagining what would happen if the fireball had hit them.
Moments later, they concluded: while they probably wouldn’t die, they certainly wouldn’t fare well either.
The terror on the face of the Water Drop Organization fell into Xiao Tian’s eyes without delay, but he didn’t allow himself to feel triumphant too early.
From the onset of the attack, the ineffectiveness of his Perception Power convinced him that the giant creature was not an ordinary existence like a Biochemical Beast.
When the giant creature made the evading move earlier, it further reaffirmed his suspicion.
If such a character were easily eliminated, it would indeed be the biggest anomaly.
And the truth proved that his vigilance was not in vain!
The giant creature appeared severely wounded, yet its legs seemed rooted to the ground, preventing it from truly falling despite its upper body swaying precariously.
A few breaths later, the giant creature steadied itself, and the portion melted by Xiao Tian’s fireball began to wriggle as if alive, restoring completely within seconds with both arms thumping against each other energetically, as if never struck.
This almost perverse regeneration method was completely outside the realm of ordinary biology, beyond anything Xiao Tian’s knowledge could explain.
Moreover, witnessing this scene, Xiao Tian spontaneously recalled the tan-colored creature he encountered earlier, which carried a mutation virus. Although the methods differed, their astonishing regenerative ability was strikingly similar.
Considering this, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but suspect that this behemoth might be the unknown tan-colored creature he saw previously.
Though it sounds bizarre, considering Adison Claire’s comments at the time and how members of the Water Drop Organization repelled the creature’s liquid with Protective True Qi, it’s not an impossible scenario.
Especially because this creature’s appearance suggests it can’t be a naturally occurring species, a mutated Biochemical Beast seems to be the only logical explanation.
However, the giant creature gave Xiao Tian little time to ponder further, promptly bracing its arms and bending its legs, ready to launch like an arrow at any moment.
Sensing trouble, Xiao Tian immediately leveraged the corroded wall beside him, lightly stepping and soaring upwards like a wild goose, landing on the rooftop.
Just then, the giant creature sprang into motion, its bent legs rapidly straightening as it darted upward towards Xiao Tian like an arrow, its spike-covered armor retracting simultaneously.
Quickly disrupting with a True Qi Bomb while swiftly leaving his position, Xiao Tian felt troubled. Initially, he hoped to conserve energy, utilize his speed and flexibility to maneuver around the creature — even if he couldn’t win, he could at least stall.
But now, it seems the creature’s speed isn’t much slower, and its agility clearly surpasses his own.
Like a rubber man, able to flexibly bend and twist, the creature’s agility is unparalleled by any human.
The reason was simple — Xiao Tian realized right then: the giant creature had no bones!
Without bones, there were fewer restrictions; any conceivable action was possible, and bodily vulnerabilities naturally ceased to exist.
After landing on the rooftop, the creature’s liquid, now unrestrained by armor, quickly corroded several head-sized holes in the rooftop.
This creature, possessing basic combat awareness, seemed to understand this would only lead to its downfall, so it immediately rolled, circling its massive body to charge directly at Xiao Tian.
Naturally, Xiao Tian dared not sever it bodily; he immediately soared downward, engaging in guerrilla warfare with the pursuing giant creature, disrupting with True Qi while maintaining his relentless footwork.
As the creature rolled, its liquid continuously splattered, soon wreaking havoc on the manor, leaving few intact parts in its wake.
Anyone gazing down from above would immediately think that the place had been showered with artillery.
