Chapter 248: A monster that can run away with a bucket

The spherical monster found the direction of the constantly firing Second Unit and rolled straight towards it.

Knowing that bullets had no effect on this monster, Liang Yu directly gave up shooting and controlled the Second Unit to run towards the roof of the farm building on the right.

Just as Second Unit reached the roof of the farm, the wall where Second Unit had been standing was already struck by the monster’s spherical form, creating a large hole.

Seeing this scene, Liang Yu felt very puzzled.

He couldn’t believe that this monster’s attack power was so weak?

Such an impact could only make a large hole in the wall; it couldn’t even knock down a whole wall. It really wasted the opponent’s size.

But Liang Yu quickly discovered the problem: where was the huge monster he was fighting?

It couldn’t have run away again!!!

As soon as he thought about this, Liang Yu felt that the opponent had most likely fled.

This possibility was very high, because based on his experience, these creatures often only had one outcome when something was wrong, or they realized they couldn’t win, or they were injured.

That outcome was to quickly pack up and run away!

The Titan Python he encountered before was the same; if it couldn’t win, it ran. Where was the bloodlust and ferocity of the giant beasts in those movies and TV shows?

They simply didn’t run; they would fight you to the death.

But it turned out well for him; the ones he encountered would immediately flee at the slightest sign of trouble or something amiss.

No wonder, no wonder!

It was because of this reason that this monster was able to survive such a large explosion at the Chemical Factory.

It turned out it had run away beforehand.

After knowing the reason, Liang Yu was somewhat speechless, but he still didn’t intend to let this monster go.

Because he suddenly became very interested in this monster. Who could refuse a monster that would pack up and run?

So Liang Yu controlled Second Unit, following the crushed traces from the hole the monster had made, and chased it out.

After chasing for about a hundred meters, Liang Yu saw a hole dug in the ground. It seemed the opponent had run through the hole.

But no matter how he thought about it, it seemed wrong, yet he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

So Liang Yu simply took out an incendiary bomb and threw it into the hole.

When he took out a second incendiary bomb and was about to throw it in, he found that light from flames was coming from inside the hole.

The moment he saw the firelight, he had two thoughts.

The first was that the opponent had only dug down a short distance before digging horizontally and escaping.

The second was that this monster had only dug this short distance to mislead him, and perhaps it was watching from there, preparing to ambush Second Unit.

Thinking of this possibility, Liang Yu immediately activated Second Unit’s sonar system.

The image Liang Yu was seeing suddenly shook, and by the time he could see clearly, he was already looking at the ground.

The incendiary bomb in Second Unit’s hand also shattered as it followed Second Unit’s arm and impacted the ground.

A large amount of liquid flowed out, and with the ignition of the flames, the area beneath and around Second Unit quickly turned into a sea of fire.

It was at this moment that the sonar detection image was fully constructed.

Lying on the ground, Second Unit was being pressed down by the escaping monster, but at this moment, its condition was not very good.

On one hand, it had to press down on Second Unit to prevent it from struggling, and on the other hand, it was being roasted by the high-temperature sea of fire created by the incendiary bomb.

But Second Unit was just a pile of iron; although the temperature was a bit high, it was completely within its tolerance.

The opponent was different; it was entirely a carbon-based life form. Even if it was much larger, it would still fear flames.

The monster didn’t stay on Second Unit for long before leaving.

It wasn’t for any other reason; its feet were simply too hot to bear.

The monster standing on Second Unit was equivalent to standing on an iron plate with flames heating it from below.

Although it had scales, it couldn’t withstand prolonged scorching.

After the monster left, Liang Yu controlled Second Unit to immediately stand up from the sea of fire, leaping into the air and performing a spin.

The fuel on Second Unit was flung away, and Second Unit itself had no flammable materials. Apart from its body temperature being slightly higher, there were no other problems.

When Liang Yu turned around to look, the monster’s figure was gone again, which angered Liang Yu so much that he cursed aloud.

Is this really a monster?

He had truly never seen such a shameless monster, playing ambush here, ambushing and then running away.

A moment later, Liang Yu realized this tactic looked a bit familiar. Wasn’t this the legendary ‘Sparrow Warfare’?

It is said that when sparrows forage and fly, they never gather in large groups; mostly they are one or two, three or five, or a dozen, darting east and west, gathering and scattering, with small targets, fast flight, and flexible movements.

The guerrilla warfare tactic created by imitating the sparrow’s foraging method is called ‘Sparrow Warfare’.

At this moment, Liang Yu couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

Good heavens, he even wondered if this monster was a human in disguise, to have such intelligence.

The battle tactic had been deployed; this time, Liang Yu was going to be serious.

He kept Second Unit’s sonar system on for a long time. This time, he used it to find the opponent’s figure. As long as this monster dared to ambush, Liang Yu was confident he could take it down.

However, Second Unit roamed around for a few more minutes in the vicinity, but the sonar system didn’t detect any trace of the monster.

This time, it seemed the opponent had truly run away, turning its head back the moment it left Second Unit’s front.

Liang Yu once again experienced the feeling of being played, and for some reason, anger surged in his heart.

He decided he would fight this monster to the end.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, Liang Yu controlled Second Unit to sprint wildly along the path.

Liang Yu, enraged, didn’t know how long he had followed the footprints, but eventually, he saw an underground river before him.

Upon arriving here, Liang Yu gradually calmed down, looking at the underground river before him.

He understood where the farm’s large water consumption came from.

However, this underground river was already showing signs of decreasing water levels, and it would probably dry up before long.

That monster must have jumped into the riverbed and run off. As for whether it went upstream or downstream, Liang Yu wasn’t sure.

But what was certain was that under the sonar system’s detection, no trace of the opponent was found in this vicinity.

Now Liang Yu faced two choices: continue to pursue and kill the fleeing monster.

This choice had no problem. It was daytime, and besides sleeping, he basically couldn’t do much else.

He could use this to pass the time.

The other option was to directly poison this river now, releasing a large amount of poison.

Even if it was a monster with scales that made it invulnerable to blades and guns, it still needed to eat and drink.
