No warship chose to descend; compared to the kilometer-long wound on its lower abdomen, the wound on its head, blasted open by two special cobalt bullets, was much more suitable for concentrated fire attacks.

Under the full firepower of over twenty escort ships, countless rounds of artillery rained upon the golden armored giant beast’s ferocious head. As time passed, it was clear to see that the wound on its head was continuously expanding, and the injury was worsening.

However, even so, there wasn’t much joy on the faces of Song Chi and others.

The vitality of a Fourth Rank Level creature was simply too terrifying; even with ghastly wounds on its head and lower abdomen, it remained particularly firm.

As for being on its last breath?

No, that was non-existent.

It wasn’t that the attacks from the escort ships weren’t effective, but the effect wasn’t significant, after all, not everyone was like Song Chi, able to obtain a main cannon of Orange Glory Quality early on.

Many people, even after advancing to Third Rank, only had purple main cannons, or even blue ones, loaded on their flagships and, coupled with the fact that they only had Second Rank ship bodies, this made their damage to the golden armored giant beast particularly limited.

Thus, relying solely on Song Chi was far from enough; killing this golden armored giant beast quickly was simply impossible.

If it were any other time, this wouldn’t be an issue at all; slowly grinding down the enemy was a combat method many Torch Warships would choose.

But the problem was, things were different now; the five cruisers below were clearly unable to hold on, and the brief balance they maintained before was nothing but an illusion.

With the terrifying size of the golden armored giant beast, even if there were two Zhulu Warships here, it wouldn’t necessarily be possible to restrain it.

Could five cruisers amount to the equivalent of two Zhulu Warships?

The answer was obvious.

The golden armored giant beast was gradually approaching the ground below, with the distance now less than ten thousand meters. There was no time left for them to slowly chip away at it.

Suddenly, the owner of the cruiser at the very bottom, Bai Chongwen, couldn’t bear it anymore.

Instead of retracting the special chains fired from his flagship, he opened a crack in the warship’s hatch, and immediately, a centaur Soldier Figurine burst out from the crack, rushing towards the ground below.

The centaur was a creature of Floating Land, lacking the ability to fly, but the centaur Soldier Figurine Tree on Bai Chongwen’s flagship had been enhanced to lvl 40; naturally, the Soldier Figurines had mastered the capability to skim through the air.

Of course, compared to those creatures born with flight ability, their skimming speed was like the difference between a tortoise and a hare. If they were to engage in aerial combat, these barely skimming creatures, the Soldier Figurines, would be greatly restricted.

However, Bai Chongwen releasing this Pseudo Fourth Rank Soldier Figurine at this moment wasn’t for the purpose of coordinated assault, but rather a special objective.

Below, a strong oppressiveness of a Fourth Rank Lifeform emanated around the golden armored giant beast, coupled with the gold Law orbiting its body, the sense of oppression far exceeded imagination. If it were a normal creature, it would likely be crushed into a meat paste by this horrific oppressiveness before it could even approach.

But the centaur Soldier Figurine was different. As a Fourth Rank itself, though it could only be considered a Pseudo Fourth Rank due to not mastering a special Supernatural System, it wasn’t greatly restricted when facing the oppressiveness of a Fourth Rank.

No matter how one looked at it, it did have a Puppet Body of Fourth Rank Level.

Whoosh!

It seemed that the golden armored giant beast sensed the approach of the centaur Soldier Figurine; its golden hooked tail lashed out fiercely.

The centaur Soldier Figurine was directly sent flying far away.

But this was not the end; the second and third Soldier Figurines followed closely. Twenty centaur Soldier Figurines were subsequently released by Bai Chongwen from the warship.

Above, inside the Furious Lion Cruiser, Song Ming Song was somewhat baffled:

"Is he trying to irritate the enemy? Out of his mind?"

He was extremely skeptical of Bai Chongwen’s actions, although of the same rank, the gap between the Soldier Figurines and a real Fourth Rank creature was vast as heaven and earth. The attacks of these centaur Soldier Figurines might not even count as an itch in the eyes of the golden armored giant beast below.

Just as he was about to actively inquire, a sudden, unexpected change below captured the attention of all the Torch Ship Captains. Enjoy more content from empire

Everyone looked down at the golden armored giant beast with astonishment, or more precisely, at the wound on the head of the golden armored giant beast.

Somehow, dense, vein-like entities had appeared inside the wound on the head of the golden armored giant beast, resembling a mass of unknown tentacles desperately stretching out from this wound.

"What’s this?"

"The first impression is rather disgusting, but the second feels somewhat familiar..."

"I also feel it’s very familiar!"

...

In the group chat of the warship fleet, captains from both families were rapidly discussing this unknown creature that had suddenly appeared.

At this moment, a Second Rank Torch Ship Captain from the Bai Family, who was over two hundred years old, suddenly spoke up:

"I remember now, this seems like the Bloodthirsty Vine..."

As soon as the words "Bloodthirsty Vine" were mentioned, all the Torch Ship Captains in the group chat had information regarding the Bloodthirsty Vine emerge in their minds.

Bloodthirsty Vine, a kind of space plant, typically, the area nurturing this kind of space plant would be a Stellar Battlefield with a large number of corpses; only this would allow them to quickly get through the initial growth stage, after all, they are plants that extract energy especially from fresh blood.

As long as there is enough flesh and blood in the environment, they can sustain extremely rapid growth, and once the flesh and blood are consumed... they will self-generate seeds, and these seeds will continue to spread to the surrounding Star Domains.

Whenever they encounter those flesh and blood lifeforms, these seeds will parasitize and devour these creatures, eventually storing the devoured flesh and blood inside the offspring, waiting to be sent back to the mother plant later.
