Cave Refuge-Chapter 841 - 541 Mysterious Ship’s Long-Range Attack Method_2
However, the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship didn’t just stay in place and fire toward the area where Dong Tianyu was; instead, it closed in on his position just as Dong Tianyu’s Companion Spiritual Treasure did.
It was only when the ships were almost side by side that Dong Tianyu noticed that the highest point of his Companion Spiritual Treasure was still not as high as the deck area of the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship.
Still, Dong Tianyu continued to control his Companion Spiritual Treasure, ramming directly into the blood-colored Ghost Ship ahead while wielding his melee weapons against the hull of the ship.
The Blood Sea, previously under the hull of the Companion Spiritual Treasure, was instantly sucked into the Bloodthirsty Banner under Dong Tianyu’s control.
By then, Dong Tianyu had the Three Flags in his hand and was stepping directly onto the deck of the giant Blood-Colored Ghost Ship using his Flying Swords.
Before the monsters stationed in the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship could emerge from the cabins, Dong Tianyu once again used his Spirit Power to activate the Three Flags.
The Blood Sea surged from the Banner’s surface again, and although it was nearly invincible in the water, its presence on the deck was not to be underestimated.
As more and more Tainted Blood surged out from the Bloodthirsty Banner, the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship’s deck was quickly shrouded in Tainted Blood.
Merely covering the deck with Tainted Blood was certainly not enough to satisfy Dong Tianyu, so the Tainted Blood seeped through any permeable spots on the deck, directly into the cabins below.
If Tainted Blood required space to seep into the cabins, then the Fierce Ghosts emerging from the Hundred Ghosts Banner possessed the ability to pass through walls.
The Fierce Ghosts that had traversed the deck and entered the cabins seemed to have found a huge buffet restaurant.
Although the monsters in the cabins were stronger than the Bugs Clan beneath the water, like the bugs, they had no ability to harm the Fierce Ghosts and could only try to dodge the ghosts’ attacks.
But the Fierce Ghosts released from the Hundred Ghosts Banner, although they had lost their physical attacking ability, possessed the ability to phase through objects and were immune to physical damage.
Typically, although the monsters could not attack the ghosts, with their speed, dodging the ghosts’ attacks was not too difficult.
However, they were now in an enclosed space, and instead of just one ghost, there were hundreds. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
These ghosts did not actively chase any particular monster but moved randomly throughout the enclosed space.
If this had been outdoors, with the ghosts’ behavior, they would not have an opportunity to devour souls, let alone approach and drain the Essence, Qi, and Spirit from an enemy.
But they were now precisely in an enclosed space, and although there were fewer ghosts than enemies, the number was still significant.
Although these ghosts did not have specific targets and simply flew around chaotically, there was always some unlucky creature that, while dodging other ghosts, accidentally collided with one,
and when the ghost passed through its body, taking away a strand of soul, the monster’s body gradually stiffened and its gaze slowly turned vacant.
In fact, this was inevitable, as with the loss of their souls, these monsters would at most become like vegetative humans, but as the Tainted Blood seeped into the area,
those bodies that lay on the ground, though still dazed and unable to move, were submerged in the Tainted Blood, and their bodies slowly dissolved into the Tainted Blood.
As more and more of the monsters’ flesh merged into the corpses, the amount of Tainted Blood in the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship also sharply rose.
And as the amount of Tainted Blood continued to increase, it gradually spread to every area of the entire ship.
When the sea of blood, controlled by the Bloodthirsty Banner, spread throughout all areas of the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship, Dong Tianyu was amazed to find that at this moment, he could freely sense any area within the entire ship.
This ability is considered one of the hidden abilities of the Bloodthirsty Banner. Perception ability falls under passive abilities; once it had been used before, it could easily be manipulated thereafter.
Although the number of monsters in the cabin was vast, under the rampage of hundreds of Fierce Ghosts, more and more monsters lost their souls. Their bodies stiffened and fell to the ground, then were assimilated by the Tainted Blood on the ground, becoming nourishment for the Blood Sea.
Even after all the monsters in the Mysterious Ship had died, the most powerful boss then appeared.
When it first appeared, the Blood Sea had already submerged its shins, and at that point, it could no longer free its legs from the corrosion regardless of where it went on the Mysterious Ship.
Perhaps because there were no other monsters left in the cabin, the hundreds of Fierce Ghosts madly charged toward the towering figure.
Though all the Fierce Ghosts rushed toward the monster, being in an intangible state meant that, in video game terminology, they were like entities with zero collision volume.
This meant that no matter how many Fierce Ghosts charged at that boss, they could stack up to only the size of a single head.
Although the massive monster adeptly smashed at the Fierce Ghosts with the weapon in its hand, the ghosts were completely immune to physical attacks. Thus, even though the weapon clearly hit its target visually, it actually caused no damage to the Fierce Ghosts.
Instead, after passing through the opponent’s body, the weapon, originally raised for an attack, instantaneously froze, as though its wielder had been struck by an acupressure point, motionlessly fixed in place.
And when the hundreds of Fierce Ghosts entered the opponent’s body again, they instantly consumed what little soul it had left.
As the soul within was devoured by the Fierce Ghosts, the previously tall and erect body collapsed and then heavily smashed into the Blood Sea.
Using the Blood Sea to observe, as opposed to using Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense, showed starkly different effects, but Dong Tianyu made no choice between them, instead aiming to adopt the mindset of an adult who wants it all.
Combining both methods of observation allowed Dong Tianyu to better grasp the surrounding situations.
Since the souls of the monsters in the cabin had been devoured by the Fierce Ghosts from the Hundred Ghosts Banner, and the majority of the monsters’ bodies had already been assimilated by the Blood Sea,
at this moment in the cabin, only occasional flashes of light surged into the White Bone Banner, while the other two banners’ supplies had long been devoured to exhaustion.
When the body of the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship boss merged with the Blood Sea, the entire hull of the Mysterious Ship suddenly began to collapse. Dong Tianyu quickly left the area by controlling his Flying Swords.
On the other hand, he continuously infused energy into the Three Flags, prompting them to take everything of value from the cabin.
Although he knew that the Bloodthirsty Banner had an ability like Magical Weapons to automatically return after its bloody water was processed into Tainted Blood, Dong Tianyu preferred to avoid additional complications.
While retreating, he collected all the Tainted Blood in the cabin into the Bloodthirsty Banner, and the hundreds of Fierce Ghosts quickly returned into the Hundred Ghosts Banner without needing Dong Tianyu to say more.
Meanwhile, the White Bone Puppet stood on its own Companion Spiritual Treasure, so Dong Tianyu once again activated the White Bone Banner, just like tidying up, collecting all nearby bone artifacts into the banner’s space.
When Dong Tianyu left the Blood-Colored Ghost Ship, standing on the deck of his own Companion Spiritual Treasure, he silently observed as if following the behavior of others; suddenly, a Blood-Colored Mysterious Core the size of a goose egg appeared in the palm of his hand.
Looking at the Blood-Colored Mysterious Core in his hand, which was far larger than ordinary cores, Dong Tianyu felt extremely happy. He initially wanted to share this with someone, but the core was too special, and ultimately he decided not to promote it publicly.
Although the White Bone Banner didn’t prove to be very useful in this fight, the materials needed for the promotion of the Three Flags did not conflict with each other; thus, Dong Tianyu did not feel much disappointment.
However, having experienced this battle, Dong Tianyu fell in love with the Three Flags in his hand. Though controlling Flying Swords wasn’t tiring,
being able to just deploy the Three Flags and wait to effortlessly obtain a Mysterious Core like this time was an opportunity that he believed no one would refuse.
