The giant's head split in two, and this time it was really dead.
One hundred and eighty years of lifespan seemed like a lot, but Lu Chengchuan felt something was wrong. How could such a powerful monster only have this short lifespan?
He couldn't understand it, but he had no choice but to accept it.
The giant died completely, but the slime under his feet did not disappear. The bloody slime was fighting against the flames, and the monsters in the distance were slowly surrounding here.
"Zizi...zizi...how's the situation..."
The communicator on his chest made a crackling sound, and Zhou Yaning's voice came out, probably wanting to ask whether the monster was dead or not.
"The giant is dead, but the circumstances...are unclear at the moment."
The giant died, but the blood and mucus did not subside, and many monsters were still alive.
Lu Chengchuan left the bombing area, returned to the military base, and told everyone what he had seen.
After the smoke cleared, the reconnaissance plane flew to the battlefield and sent back images. Seeing the dense army of monsters, everyone in the military was still in a heavy mood.
After being strengthened by the blood rain, the monsters' vitality became very strong, putting a lot of pressure on the frontline soldiers.
"Go and scout the bombing area and notify all artillery units to prepare for the bombing."
After getting rid of the most troublesome giant, they had to seize the opportunity to bomb while the monsters gathered.
But just after the order was issued, new intelligence was reported back from the front line.
"Are all the monsters running into the city? Go check!"
Hearing that the monsters had retreated, Lu Chengchuan left the base and returned to the place where he had just killed the giant.
After just over half an hour, the endless bloody mucus disappeared, and the corpses of giants, tumorous remains, and all the corpses disappeared.
The bloody slime retreated to the edge of the city, and the monster army retreated into the city in a mighty manner.
Lu Chengchuan chased after him and encountered many monster snipers. After getting rid of the monsters, he put on a protective shield for himself and rushed into the city through a hole where there were no monsters.
He came to a tall building and looked out at the dome.
Thick veins of flesh and blood connected from all over the city to the bottom of the dome. The mucus digested the corpses, and the nutrients were sent to the veins and then all to the dome.
For seven consecutive days, the giant egg absorbed energy crazily, and the monsters returning to the city returned to their flesh and blood tumors.
He watched everything from above, and when the last bit of energy was sent into the giant egg, the thick flesh and blood veins quickly dimmed, turning from bright red to dark red.
After absorbing enough energy, a large amount of blood mist gushed out from the dome.
The blood mist quickly rushed into the sky above the city, gathered at a height of more than 300 meters, and then spread in all directions.
After spreading, the blood mist slowly enveloped the city. Just over an hour after Lu Chengchuan left the city, the blood mist completely covered the city.
This unusual scene attracted the attention of the military, and they sent people to investigate the blood mist.
Zhou Yaning also came to find him, and the two followed the army to investigate together.
After studying it for a while, they used tools to touch the blood mist and found nothing unusual. Tools made of metal, wood, stone, etc. could pass through the blood mist without being corroded.
Then they threw in some meat and animals, which were devoured instantly.
However, the meat and animals were swallowed by the bloody mucus underground, and seemed to have nothing to do with the blood mist.
The blood mist looked like a cover that isolated everything, but anything could pass through it. The investigators put on protective gloves and slowly stretched their hands towards the blood mist.
The hand slowly penetrated the blood mist, and the investigator felt no discomfort.
"Dean Yang, and everyone else, do you have any results now?"
"Existing technology cannot take samples, so no research results can be obtained for the time being."
The old man took off his mask and looked at the blood mist with a tired and solemn expression. Although the blood mist looked solidified, it would dissipate instantly once the sample was extracted.
Even in a sealed container, the blood mist will dissipate.
They had no way to test the composition of the blood mist and could not obtain any useful information.
After hearing this, everyone stopped asking questions. This old man was the director of their research institute, and the others were also academicians. Academicians from various fields, from biology to physics to chemistry, were all present.
But the blood mist is too strange and conventional methods are useless.
"Did you find anything?"
The scientific researchers did not notice, so Zhou Yaning turned around and asked the person next to him.
"What can I find? I only feel a lot of energy. This layer of blood mist is definitely not useless."
Lu Chengchuan shook his head. He didn’t see much information.
"Those monsters have all returned to the tumor. Maybe this place will be safe for a while."
"For a while? I hope it will be longer."
Zhou Yaning sighed. This battle had exhausted her physically and mentally, and she hoped she could take a few days' rest.
Unable to understand the purpose of the blood mist, everyone evacuated the scene. After the situation was reported, the military discussed it for over an hour and decided to carpet bomb Anyang City again.
The order was given and the military began to prepare artillery shells.
Previously, in order to stop the monsters, they consumed too many artillery shells and it took several days to transport the bombs.
After the battle, Zhou Yaning's team members gathered together again. This time the battle came suddenly and was intense, but fortunately no one in their team was killed, only some were seriously injured.
After almost a month of not seeing each other, Qian Xiaoling and the others have become stronger.
"Captain, will this bombing be successful?"
When they got together, Qian Xiaoling thought about the last bombing plan. The bombing lasted for more than ten days, and except for the buildings in the central city being destroyed, the dome was left unscathed.
"This time it's a city-wide bombing, it should be of some use."
Zhou Yaning was not sure either, she didn't know much, she could only hope that she could play a role.
"Just wait. We still have to move the bombs now. We'll know in a few days."
The bombing plan was to be implemented in a few days. Lu Chengchuan came up and said, "I'm going to practice and come back when I'm done."
Lu Chengchuan came to a secluded place, deep in the mountains and forests, and he found a place to sit down.
At the third level of the Soul-Capture Technique, with a lifespan of two hundred years, that warm power appeared again, slowly nourishing the mental power in Lu Chengchuan's brain.
The growth of mental strength was very slow, and it was not until the next night that Lu Chengchuan slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, a ray of light flashed through his eyes. The light was like a substance, illuminating the darkness around him for a moment.
"Soul-stealing, soul-stealing..."
With the soul-stealing technique perfected, Lu Chengchuan's understanding of the soul has reached a new level. Now he can finally take away the target's soul without taking the person's life.
Once the soul is taken away by him, the target will never wake up unless he puts the soul back.
After the soul-capturing technique was perfected, Lu Chengchuan continued to practice, but he practiced by meditating on his own and did not continue to consume his lifespan.
He still has more than 120 years to live, which is not enough time to improve his martial arts.
Five days later, Zhou Yaning sent him a message saying that the number of artillery shells was almost enough and the bombing plan was about to begin, and asked him if he wanted to come back and take a look.
Lu Chengchuan got up and returned to the base, coming to the big tent where they often stayed.
"Brother Lu is back!"
