Cave Refuge-Chapter 833 - 537 Collision_2

Exactly because of this, they didn’t carry their entire wealth on them at all times like Dong Tianyu did.

Therefore, during the salvaging operations, most of their propertied remained with the salvage team; even if the price of a Dark Green Trick Nucleus was high outside, how much higher could the price of a single nucleus be? It certainly couldn’t compare with the wealth they had accumulated over the years.

Since the majority of their wealth was tied up in the salvage team when they went out, both emotionally and rationally, they would not take this opportunity to leave during diving operations.

It was for this reason that the secret of the Dark Green Trick Nuclei was able to be concealed for so long.

As the saying goes, compared to the Dark Green Trick Nuclei bought low priced from the members, when faced with the need to buy Black Devil Cores from the outside at a high price, those who originally wanted to hold out ultimately could only reluctantly give up.

As for them asking the original members who dived underwater to now hunt for Black Ghost Ships on the surface,

not to mention the different rules in Mysterious Realms of various colors, the price of the Black Devil Cores had become transparent. If the upper echelons of the salvage team still wanted to buy Mysterious Cores from their own team members at a low cost, that would certainly provoke public anger.

It should be known that the number of members in most salvage teams is not large, and once the number of members in a salvage team exceeds a certain amount, that team would, like bees, rally around different leaders and split into two families.

Although little is known to outsiders about the situations underwater, meaning that there are many Ghost Ships,

even in the same region, no matter how dense the Ghost Ships are, they can’t withstand so many Martial Artists approaching at the same time; thus, when the number of people in a salvage team exceeds a certain limit, they will voluntarily split for the sake of efficiency.

Nowadays, with countless large and small salvage teams on the outside, if they really wanted to build relationships, both parties could find suitable connectors.

The more that’s the case, the less likely those high ranking members of the salvage teams are to commit such elementary mistakes.

So just as Zachary had guessed, while there were people in the salvage team who began their research earlier than him, due to materials and various other issues, they ultimately did not continue with the research.

On Zachary’s side, however, he was able to invest as much as he wanted without any interference or bewildering restrictions from others.

Of course, the most critical point is that Zachary had already improved his Companion Spiritual Treasure to the point where it could choose evolutionary branches, and he had already successfully evolved it.

Therefore, in the short term, as long as Zachary balanced the upgrading of his equipment, he would definitely not encounter any bottlenecks in upgrading.

The effects of ranged weapons had already been tested, and now Zachary needed to try out melee weapons to see if they truly could suppress the emergence of Mysterious Realms within the Ghost Ships, as the information transmitted via his mentality had suggested.

It didn’t take long for Zachary to spot another Mysterious Ship on the sea surface, since there were no longer Dark Green Trick Nuclei to replenish the Giant Bolts, and this time Zachary was testing the effect of melee weapons.

So without waiting for the Ghost Ship opposite to accelerate, Zachary instead maneuvered his Companion Spirit chasing after the enemy.

If before the mobility of the Companion Spirit on the water surface was slow, unable to escape from the pursuit of the Mysterious Ships,

then Zachary’s Companion Spirit, which had its Power Module upgraded, was now far faster than an elementary Black Ghost Ship; in the past, if targeted by a Ghost Ship, escape was impossible, and one had to fight back, but now, if Zachary wished to leave, he was a hundred percent certain he could shake off any pursuing Mysterious Ship.

However, Zachary’s rush forward this time was not to shake off the opposing Mysterious Ship; instead, he was rapidly closing in on it.

When the distance between Zachary’s Companion Spirit and the opposing Mysterious Ship was less than five meters, Zachary actually felt a bit of panic inside.

Even though, if the effect of the Companion Spirit’s melee weapons failed, Zachary would still need to destroy the Mysterious Realm in order to escape,

what Zachary cared about was not the dangers within the Mysterious Realm, but the suppressive power of the melee weapons over the Mysterious Realm.

Although the Mysterious Ship can only merge with the Companion Spiritual Treasure or an ordinary ship into Mysterious Realm upon contact, the ghost ship often inexplicably accelerates suddenly when there’s still a distance of five to ten meters between both parties.

Most of the time, very few Martial Artists can react in time to this sudden sneak attack of the Mysterious Ship, and it has almost never failed.

Therefore, it’s more accurate to say that as long as the distance between the two ships is within ten meters, the two ships are bound to merge into a new Mysterious Realm.

However, this time, as Dong Tianyu controlled his own Companion Spiritual Treasure, even after repeatedly colliding with the side of that ghost ship, the two ships did not merge into a new Mysterious Realm as before.

Instead, like ships crashing into each other before a natural disaster, they just stuck together upon collision.

Seeing this situation, Dong Tianyu curiously jumped directly onto the deck of the opposing ghost ship.

Unlike before, when setting foot on the deck meant entering the Mysterious Realm, Dong Tianyu, even while standing on the deck, showed no signs of being pulled into a Mysterious Realm.

Just as Dong Tianyu was curiously observing the environment around the deck, to be honest, although he had destroyed many Mysterious Ships, he had never tried standing on one and enjoying the view before.

When Dong Tianyu was excitedly turning around to look everywhere, the ’tofu blocks’ on the deck started opening one after another.

Before long, the deck was taken over by those tall cages, and observing the strange deformed creatures imprisoned within, Dong Tianyu immediately realized that there must be biological experiments inside the cabin.

Looking at those large creatures that couldn’t even speak, Dong Tianyu guessed that the experimenter’s skills were really not that great.

Seeing the iron cages on the ground suddenly opening, Dong Tianyu immediately became wary and looked in that direction.

But as those things that were originally in the iron cages stepped out of the shadows, Dong Tianyu couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu finally understood what it meant for reality to differ from expectations; those who once stayed in the cages, giving off a very powerful presence, actually stumbled and fell as soon as they came out.

When they quietly stayed in their cages striking poses, Dong Tianyu didn’t pay much attention to their physical condition,

But as soon as the iron cage doors were opened and the creatures inside were preparing to come out, before Dong Tianyu even took action, the monster on the opposite side had just stepped out of the cage door and immediately fell to the ground.

Upon closer observation, Dong Tianyu noticed that these deformed creatures’ bodies were uncoordinated, and many of them had already spent a lot of time just trying to step out of their cages.

Dong Tianyu didn’t want to waste time, so he rushed to the side of the creature that had just fallen, and since the creatures weren’t capable of keeping themselves, they were ultimately facing death; without a word, Dong Tianyu sent this creature into the Realm of the Undead.

Although these deformed creatures were unable to move on their own, equivalent to being useless, no matter how you look at it, these deformed creatures were still alive.

It just so happened that these deformed creatures were massive, and after being brought into the Realm of the Undead, when the smell of blood arose, the previously hidden Undead Creatures burst out of the ground like crazy.

After Dong Tianyu brought those paralyzed, immobile deformed monsters into the Realm of the Undead, there was only one deformed creature left on the deck.

However, unlike other deformed creatures that couldn’t even maintain balance, this deformed creature was not only able to move normally, but it could also wield more weapons for combat, because it had several arms growing out of its back.

Taking advantage of the deformed creature not having found suitable weapons yet, Dong Tianyu struck first, dispatching it swiftly, and killed it before it could properly arm itself.

With the death of this creature, the ghost ship under Dong Tianyu’s feet instantly aged as if dried by the wind, becoming much more decrepit and gradually collapsing.

By the time Dong Tianyu jumped back onto his Companion Spiritual Treasure, the original ghost ship, as if it had undergone a millennium, finally turned into a pile of dust, scattering over the water’s surface.
