Chapter 554: Chapter 400 Sudden Incident_2
The Flying Swords now faced such a predicament, and although they were extremely sharp, even if the Flame Bug’s head was pierced through, it would not immediately die. Instead, due to its brain being damaged, it would fall into a state of frenzy.
In the face of this situation, Dong Tianyu had no better combat strategy and could only make the originally steady Flying Swords start to spin quickly, turning them into something resembling a buzzing saw.
And when Dong Tianyu channeled Spirit Power into the blade, a growing, breathing shell of energy swords began to emerge on the targeted side of the blade. Then, as the spinning speed gradually increased, a massive azure disc appeared mid-air,
Just as everyone else was still unclear about what was happening today, that huge azure disc, like a specter, moved ceaselessly among the Flame Bugs. By the time everyone regained their senses and prepared to film, the azure spinning disc had already vanished, and the same Flying Sword that had disappeared behind Dong Tianyu reappeared behind him.
While Gavin was somewhat puzzled and about to ask Dong Tianyu what had happened, he suddenly noticed that the Flame Bugs, which had been thrashing menacingly, had stopped moving completely as if frozen in place.
Seeing this, everyone understood that Dong Tianyu’s recent attack must have been effective. As Gavin hesitated whether he needed to help finish them off, suddenly the head of a Flame Bug dropped to the ground.
And when the massive head of the Flame Bug struck the ground, it caused a slight tremor.
Perhaps due to this vibration, the heads of other Flame Bugs started to fall off one by one. As the heads of the bugs kept dropping, causing more vibrations, the originally standing corpses of the Flame Bugs began to collapse haphazardly, crashing down onto the ground.
Unlike the minor disturbance caused by the falling heads of Flame Bugs, the collapsing bodies hit heavily on the school’s flowerbed side.
The series of heavy impacts made the nearby onlookers feel as if they were experiencing an earthquake, and even the colleagues at the seismic office in Kyoto were anxiously scratching their heads.
They were also unsure about the current situation. To call it an earthquake, the amplitude had met the criteria, yet it felt unlike even an aftershock.
But if it wasn’t an earthquake, they had all experienced the recent tremor, so the staff on duty at the seismic office didn’t know how to proceed.
At that time, Dong Tianyu and his group had no spare time to consider the feelings of the seismic office. With all of the Flame Bugs blocking the path eliminated, Dong Tianyu smiled at the admiring glances from the others and immediately reminded them, "This place is not safe, we should leave as soon as possible."
Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Bing Huo walked over to Vincenzo and asked him, "Should we go or stay?"
Vincenzo immediately turned and headed towards the people from the planet Tian Yi Xing, asking them how far they had progressed with their mission and whether they should continue to remain here.
Hearing Vincenzo’s question, an old professor from Tian Yi Xing laughed, pointed at Vincenzo, then pointed upwards, before casually saying, "We’ve almost finished collecting everything; let’s head back to the city. Our accommodation isn’t far, let’s send these items off first, then gather a bit later."
Hearing the professor, Dong Tianyu knew this mission was nearing its end, so he didn’t say anything more at this moment.
After hearing the researchers from Tian Yi Xing were preparing to leave, Dong Tianyu looked around and did not see any vehicles arriving, wondering if they had come too early.
"Gavin, I’m not comfortable with Vincenzo escorting those people back by himself, just in case something happens and it’s difficult to explain," he said. "So I’m planning to escort them back with Vincenzo."
After speaking, he turned to Dong Tianyu and asked, "Could I trouble you with something? I need to escort these people out of here, so only Gavin will be left in the shop. I’m a bit concerned about him being there alone, so I hope you can come by more often if you have time to accompany him."
Hearing Bing Huo’s request, Dong Tianyu felt he had no other choice but to agree at that moment.
Once he received Dong Tianyu’s response, Bing Huo then instructed Vincenzo, who needed to lead the researchers through a shortcut to find a quick route to leave the area.
As Binghuo and Vincenzo walked further and further away with those researchers, Gavin’s expression immediately relaxed.
Seeing Gavin’s demeanor at this moment, Dong Tianyu immediately showed some interest and asked Gavin, "What’s the situation? Are you that afraid of her? Surely it’s not that serious."
Hearing Dong Tianyu’s inquiry, Gavin nodded somewhat vexed and then sighed deeply. Pressured, he finally spoke, "Vincenzo’s situation is a bit special, you better not ask too much."
Hearing Gavin say this, Dong Tianyu immediately changed the subject, "We were so anxious to get here, did we forget something on the way?"
As Dong Tianyu said this, Gavin also fell into recollection, tracing back the timeline to the moment they had just met Dong Tianyu. Suddenly, Gavin remembered the chicks they had released and wondered how they were doing now.
"Really don’t know how those greenhorns are doing now, they better not have suffered too many casualties, otherwise we will be punished when we return."
Hearing Gavin’s muttered words, Dong Tianyu offered reassurance, "Why are you so worried? There’s probably nothing wrong over there yet, you know. Although more than half of the people in this batch are greenhorns,"
"the rest are veterans, so don’t worry too much. We just need to hurry back now."
Reassured by Dong Tianyu’s words, Gavin’s expression calmed down, and the two immediately rushed towards the road they were supposed to be guarding.
As they were about to approach, Dong Tianyu saw someone lying on the ground and, without a second word, immediately restrained him.
Seeing Dong Tianyu’s action, Gavin spoke with some exasperation, "What are you doing, boss? This guy is already like this, what are you planning to do with him?"
Hearing Gavin ask this, Dong Tianyu realized that although Gavin was kind-hearted, he wasn’t foolish. Seeing Dong Tianyu act so decisively meant there was something wrong with the other party.
Looking at the man who fainted from fright at the examination, Dong Tianyu smiled and said to him, "Don’t pretend at this point, it’s quite convincing. If you don’t get up now, you might not be able to later, even if you want to."
Hearing Dong Tianyu say this in a lighthearted tone, the man lying on the ground uncontrollably shivered.
Just as he was preparing to pretend to have just woken up, Zachary stepped directly onto the man’s back and said to him, "I need some merit points right now, so hurry up and tell me the intelligence from over there."
Hearing Dong Tianyu ask this, the man sighed with relief. In his opinion, although Dong Tianyu was strong in martial arts, he lacked experience and was a bit impulsive in speaking—seemingly an easy mark to deceive. Just as he was about to say something, many people suddenly started running in their direction from afar.
Seeing this scene, the man on the ground buried his head deeper, feigning death. Seeing the man’s act, Dong Tianyu frowned, knowing that trouble had arrived.
When those people arrived next to Dong Tianyu and saw the man lying on the ground, although he tried his best to conceal himself, it was futile as there were only three people at the scene. Dong Tianyu and Gavin could provide evidence they were their own, so the unfortunate one under Dong Tianyu’s foot was the target they were after.
Watching the group approach and politely greet them, they then inquired whether Dong Tianyu could hand over the man under his foot to them as he was a target they had been pursuing for a long time.
Of course, they wouldn’t expect Dong Tianyu to help for nothing; they promised to list their names at the forefront when reporting the incident.
Perhaps someone might ask what good it does to be listed at the forefront. To put it simply, if it were a group achievement, people usually only notice the first few names. Unless there’s a direct interest involved, the names further down get less attention.
