Cave Refuge-Chapter 840 - 541: The Long-Range Attack Method of the Mysterious Ship

Dong Tianyu saw the Mysterious Ship launch an offensive for the first time, and it used remote weapons no less.

However, the hit rate of the opponent’s remote weapons was poor; several consecutive attacks all landed around Dong Tianyu’s Companion Spiritual Treasure without a single piece of Ammunition actually hitting it.

But what Dong Tianyu hadn’t anticipated was that the Ammunition fired by the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship was not traditional explosive Ammunition but living Ammunition, which plunged into the water and became round and smooth.

The spherical Ammunition instantly unfolded, resembling those pests that lived in dark, damp places before the disaster.

These Bugs Clan members could curl up into a round shape like cannonballs, and once unfolded, they could also move forward rapidly with the many legs underneath their bodies.

After falling into the water, these Bugs Clan members quickly spread out and then swiftly swam toward the location of Dong Tianyu’s Companion Spiritual Treasure.

At first, because of his conventional thinking, Dong Tianyu didn’t pay any attention to those ’cannonballs’ fired by the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship; after all, in his memory, if a Missile didn’t hit, it missed, and there shouldn’t be any other consequences.

But Dong Tianyu didn’t know that the Mysterious Ship hadn’t launched conventional Missiles but living Missiles, which, even if they didn’t hit the target directly, could advance on their own underwater toward the enemy’s position.

Even if Dong Tianyu initially disregarded those Bugs Clan members underwater, when they used their leg blades to hook onto the hull of the Companion Spiritual Treasure, it instantly sent a warning to Dong Tianyu of the attack.

Upon receiving the information from the Companion Spiritual Treasure, Dong Tianyu immediately investigated with his Divine Sense and quickly located the Bugs Clan members gnawing at the hull.

Since Dong Tianyu had already upgraded the ship’s material twice, the Bugs Clan couldn’t do much damage in a short amount of time.

Yet, the large Blood-Colored Ghost Ship not far away continued to fire at Dong Tianyu’s direction, and although the opponent’s aim was incredibly poor, with not a single piece of Ammunition directly hitting Dong Tianyu’s Companion Spiritual Treasure,

more and more ’cannonballs’ fell into the water, resulting in an increasing number of Bugs Clan members attacking from below.

Although Dong Tianyu was confident in his Companion Spiritual Treasure’s defensive power, he was well aware of the principle that constant dripping wears away a stone.

Flying Swords could instantly cut down those Bugs Clan members, but each attack could, at most, kill three to five even if it went through them like threading beads.

However, as the rate of fire from the Mysterious Ship increased, there were at least five to ten cannonballs falling into the nearby waters each minute.

Immediately realizing the severity of the situation, Dong Tianyu took out the Demon Path Three Flags and planted them at the bow of the ship, and as he continuously poured Spirit Power into the Three Flags, the Hundred Ghosts Banner was the first to make its mark.

Hundreds of Fierce Ghosts that emerged from the Banner dove into the water, and whenever a Fierce Ghost passed through the body of a Bugs Clan member that had hooked onto the hull with its leg blades, the once-agile eyes of that Bugs Clan member would become somewhat dull.

As their souls continued to be assaulted by the Fierce Ghosts, the Bugs Clan members lacking the ability to resist soul attacks began to weaken. Their once-gripping leg blades lost their adhering force, and their bodies instantly fell off the hull.

Even as their bodies detached from the ship, the swarming Bugs Clan members nearby immediately filled the gap.

Normally, as more Bugs Clan members clung to the bottom of the ship, the vessel’s speed would definitely decrease rapidly until it stopped in place, and once the ship stopped completely, the Bugs Clan in the water would climb onto the ship following their companion’s bodies.

Even if the crew wasn’t killed by those Bugs Clan members, with more and more Bugs Clan members climbing aboard, the ship would eventually be doomed to a fate of destruction and death.

But the Three Flags that Dong Tianyu had just planted at the bow weren’t for show. Although even the Hundred Ghosts Banner began to tire against the increasing number of Bugs Clan members,

as Tainted Blood gushed out from the Bloodthirsty Banner, no matter how many Bugs Clan members there were, they would eventually be assimilated into a pool of blood by the Tainted Blood, becoming nutrients for strengthening the Bloodthirsty Banner.

When the water around the Companion Spiritual Treasure was enveloped by the Blood Sea, streaks of light continuously flew from the water into the Hundred Ghosts Banner and the White Bone Banner.

As the Blood Sea turned the flesh and blood of the Bugs Clan members at the bottom into Tainted Blood, their souls and bodies instantly became nutrients for the White Bone Banner and the Hundred Ghosts Banner, getting absorbed into the two Banners.

Since the flesh and blood of the Bugs Clan members were all assimilated into the Blood Sea as Tainted Blood, Dong Tianyu didn’t know how much food they provided for the Bloodthirsty Banner until it retracted the Tainted Blood back into the Banner.

The White Bone Puppets summoned by the White Bone Banner were also not idle. Although the long-range attacks from the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship had a terribly low hit rate, enough random shots eventually made some hits.

But before the curled-up Bugs Clan members could land on the deck, the White Bone Puppets waved their massive Tower Shields, knocking them off the deck.

With the Three Flags working in tacit coordination, the Flying Swords behind Dong Tianyu once again had a break.

While the battle on Dong Tianyu’s side was intensely fierce, the Companion Spiritual Treasure steadily advanced towards the location of the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship at a steady pace.
