The speed of the tentacles was truly exaggerated, and the pressure almost reached its limit, so it was only after Yun You was blasted away that a "pop" sound of explosive air was heard.
Fortunately, Yun You's instinctive reaction was tily enough. At the mont the tentacle swung, she instinctively lifted her right hand covered with Red Phosphorus Armor, barely deflecting the strike...
But even so, she was still slapped more than ten ters away, almost losing grip of the Tempered Bottle in her hand.
"This..."
"Guh!"
Yun You was about to say sothing, but was seized by a bout of abdominal pain, forcing her to dry heave.
She lifted her aching right hand and only then noticed that her Red Phosphorus Giant Claw had pressed a deep red, almost purple mark onto her own abdon.
This was just the aftershock of the tentacle's power!
Most of its force was absorbed by the claw, yet it could still create such an effect...
It's hard to imagine how severe the damage would be if the whip had hit her squarely.
"Are you okay, Chica?"
Jack and Frost Moon were also startled, quickly calling out to the girl over the radio.
"I'm... probably fine..."
Yun You shook her head, answering casually, her heart still sowhat shocked.
What exactly happened just now? How did the creature suddenly grow a tentacle? And why could the tentacle be released at such speed?
[It's smarter than we imagined]
At this mont, Master Zero suddenly spoke, his tone becoming more serious.
[This creature's inherent speed is very slow, but it can perfectly utilize its own physical characteristics]
[Tentacles, which are supposedly a part of its body, or rather a "temporary organ" it constructed]
[As for why it can achieve such speed... well...]
[It compresses a portion of its muscle with enormous strength, turning it into a "spring steel core". Then, when the power accumulates to the pinnacle, it's released instantaneously, transforming the elastic potential energy entirely into kinetic energy to create a great destructive effect and extraordinary speed]
[Feels like its physics are better than yours, Yun...]
"Don't make sarcastic remarks!"
Yun You bit her lip lightly, rubbing her slightly pained abdon.
"If it's relying on imitating a 'spring' to achieve extre destruction, then its imitation surely requires so preparation ti, and there must be noticeable movents during preparation, right?"
[Theoretically, that's the case...]
[But the problem is, with this place being so dark and its body so large, the movents might not be very noticeable even if they do occur, right?]
[You can try observing it]
Upon hearing this, Yun You remained silent, enduring the pain as she looked at the creature.
At the mont, due to the "law of action and reaction", the tentacle that whipped Yun You exploded into a pile of at paste the mont the energy was released.
But this didn't affect the creature's main body at all.
Its skin squird, crawling over the minced at, and with a few slight movents, it devoured all the remnants cleanly.
Underneath its pink skin, the indescribably twisted muscle mass squird constantly, making it impossible to discern if it was charging up or rely performing normal movents and breathing.
"Seems quite difficult to guard against..."
Yun You slightly furrowed her brows.
"However, in that case,
does it an as long as we keep a certain distance, remote attacks should be viable?"
[Theoretically, yes]
Master Zero didn't refute.
[Because while elastic potential energy can release imnse energy over a short distance, with increasing distance, its energy and speed decrease... To maintain its original destructive power, it would necessitate larger muscle groups to engage in "compression"]
[But this way, its range of activity would be larger, and we could observe its actions... I estimate, the maximum destructive range of these tentacles is about 10 to 20 ters, beyond 15 ters, the tentacles have minimal effect on you]
[However, the problem is, if we're indeed that far away, how are we supposed to throw liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen onto it from outside the 10-ter range?]
"That..."
After a bit of thought, Yun You smiled and shook her head.
"I think it shouldn't be hard to manage, just requires a little... creativity."
"And a bold heart."
As she spoke, the girl suddenly tightened the valve on the liquid oxygen Tempered Bottle, then weighed the two Tempered Bottles slightly, considering their weight and sturdiness.
When Jack buys stuff, he always prioritizes cost-effectiveness and safety, and these two Tempered Bottles naturally possess safe properties.
Their surfaces are welded with about 3mm of steel plating, making them not only shock-resistant but also able to withstand direct hits from small caliber bullets and shrapnel.
This is also the reason it didn't crash a mont ago.
"Hope this trick works..."
Yun You exhaled deeply, then overlapped the tempered bottles in her hands and exerted a sudden force—
Crunch!
Instantly, the originally hard tempered bottles deford under her grip.
In the internship period, Yun You's physical qualities were already among the highest among Apprentice Death Gods.
And with the boost from the Mad Dog trait and the Red Scale Giant Claw, her right hand's strength reached an extrely terrifying level. Crushing two 3mm thick tempered bottles was naturally no big deal.
However, she didn't want to crush them completely.
Under her control, the two tempered bottles were embedded together in a cross shape, with the contact part severely deford to where the thinnest point was only a few tenths of a milliter of steel.
If the two were completely pierced through, then just one spark could ignite the hydrogen-oxygen mixture, creating a staggering fire.
But that wasn't enough yet.
Yun You thought for a mont, then pulled a small tid bomb that Jack had given her out of her portable pouch and installed it on the tempered bottles.
"This should be enough."
The little girl grinned, then grabbed the tempered bottles and aid at Taishan not far away, then threw them sharply—
Whoosh~
Imdiately, the tempered bottles soared like a silver teor straight for Taishan's forehead!
No unexpected incidents occurred; the overlapped tempered bottles, with Yun You's full strength... smashed directly through Taishan's flesh, deeply embedding themselves into its bones.
Then, with a few light beeps of "beep beep beep," the countdown of the tid bomb reached zero...
Boom!!
A visibly orange fireball erupted with a ring-shaped shockwave on Taishan, tearing open large swathes of pink flesh once again.
And almost simultaneously, the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, freed from the tempered bottles' constraints, mixed together, ignited by the explosion's high temperature, and unleashed their energy instantly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The successive explosive bursts splattered the hydrogen-oxygen mixture everywhere.
Roaring flas burst forth, and in an instant, completely engulfed Taishan's massive body.
"Aargh...!"
The excruciating pain of its burning body caused Taishan to howl involuntarily... though it was unclear what part of it was actually producing the sound.
It rolled in the flas, its enormous body kicking up thick clouds of dust.
"The amount of liquid hydrogen was quite sufficient."
Watching Taishan rolling in the smoke and ashes, Yun You nodded in satisfaction.
"Naturally."
Jack smiled and explained, "There's a full 5 kilograms of liquid hydrogen in there. Although the liquid oxygen will accelerate the burning process, it should last about 5 minutes."
"Pretty good..."
Yun You crossed her arms, inhaling the burnt sll wafting over, and said leisurely, "Once it's done burning, we should be able to see its organ locations."
"Speaking of which, this big guy is quite hollow. Despite having such a massive body and consuming so many people, it only knows a few types of attacks."
"According to the standards in Nest City, it's probably just around the [One Flower] level, similar to the 'Headless Monster' we encountered in the bar earlier."
The little girl pondered silently.
But just then, she suddenly felt that the scorching heat wave coming at her seed... to weaken sowhat.
"...?"
She looked up in confusion, and through the smoke, saw that the flas burning on Taishan, which should have lasted 5 minutes, suddenly went out...
No, they were not extinguished.
But rather "absorbed."
Taishan opened up its waist, revealing a large, round mouth about a ter in diater, sucking in all the orange flas!
But those flas didn't vanish; instead, they were stored inside its mouth, gradually brewing... and emitted a disturbing blue light.
As ti passed, the brightness of this blue light increased, and it emitted a heat that distorted the air...
Yun You was slightly stunned...
She had never seen such a scene.
But Master Zero realized sothing, his breath catching...
[It's an energy attack! Yun Cub! It's a damn energy attack!]
[Get out...seek cover quickly!]
