Cave Refuge-Chapter 844 - 543: The Style of a Great Power

Perhaps it was the recent battle that had deployed all the mechanical creatures within the ship, so there was no longer any need for fighting in the ship’s cabin.

The reason those martial artists entered the ship’s cabin was because there was a huge protective shield inside, which tightly enveloped the control platform.

The martial artists approached the protective shield and attacked it using the most primitive chopping method. Although the protective shield swayed under their assault, it never shattered.

However, seeing this scene did not discourage the martial artists, and everyone continued to evenly chop at the protective shield with their blades.

As the martial artists persisted in their relentless attacks, the brightness of the protective shield finally began to slowly diminish. Seeing this, the martial artists did not accelerate their movements but continued to attack at the original pace, neither hurriedly nor slowly.

At first, Dong Tianyu was somewhat puzzled, as the defensive power of the protective shield had visibly decreased quite a bit, but after a long period of attacks by those martial artists, the protective shield still swayed as before.

Seeing this situation, Dong Tianyu then understood that those martial artists in the ship’s cabin must have had a lot of experience with this situation, otherwise a newcomer like Dong Tianyu, seeing the previous situation, would have undoubtedly sped up his attacks recklessly.

It was only when the energy protective shield started showing cracks on its surface, like a physical object, that those martial artists gradually began increasing the attack speed of their weapons.

Eventually, the energy shield shattered into pieces like glass under the assault of the martial artists, but when the bursting energy fragments bounced into the air, they dissipated like powder.

After the energy protective shield disappeared, those martial artists did not rush towards the instruments but instead hurled their weapons at them like hidden weapons.

When the long sword deeply penetrated the instrument, numerous electric arcs suddenly leapt out around it.

Seeing this, Dong Tianyu finally understood that even if all the mechanical creatures in the battleship were eliminated, he still could not relax as the battleship was fraught with pitfalls.

If those who entered were not the experienced martial artists but a newcomer like Dong Tianyu, they might not have been killed by the traps, but injury was definitely unavoidable.

When the electric arcs around the instrument disappeared, one of the martial artists once again hurled his weapon, and when the weapon hit the instrument, familiar electric arcs appeared again.

After several repetitions, when the martial artists had used up all their weapons, a nearby machine had also been shattered into pieces by the thrown weapons, and the electric arcs covering the instruments no longer appeared.

Dong Tianyu did not know whether the cause of the electric arcs disappearing was due to exhausting the attacks or the complete destruction of the instrument by the weapons. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Only then did one of the martial artists approach the area, now a pile of parts, to pick up the weapon he had previously thrown, using it to sift through the debris to find something similar to a chip.

The man bent down to pick up the item he had found and then raised his hand and waved, using this action to show they had found the item, while loudly telling the others, "We’ve got what we came for, let’s hurry and retreat."

Subsequently, one of the martial artists in the cabin, who seemed to have a spatial device, swiftly packed up everything on the ground and took it away, while the others made a quick escape from there.

Although Dong Tianyu was somewhat puzzled by their actions at the moment, since there had already been too many reversals, Dong Tianyu did not ponder too deeply and simply quietly observed their actions.

As those individuals quickly evacuated from the cabin, the surface of the battleship suddenly began to crack.

Seeing this situation, Dong Tianyu associated it with how the Mysterious Realm would rapidly collapse like this ship now does when the Mysterious Core was taken.

The battleship gradually began to sink under Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense observation, but what surprised him was that the battleship’s purely metallic body melted away and disappeared like ice in water during the sinking process.

Seeing this, Dong Tianyu finally understood why those martial artists had tried so hard to take away all the fragments of mechanical creatures and machinery but remained indifferent towards the pure metal body of the ship.

Looking at the chip-like item in the martial artist’s hand, Dong Tianyu suddenly thought of the core chips found in the bodies of mechanoids during the mechanoid disaster, after destroying those mechanical creatures.

Honestly, during the last mechanoid disaster, although the market price for chips was high, it seemed unrelated to ordinary people, and even some medium and small forces appeared to have sold the chips directly to the Imperial Court after obtaining them.

The chips obtained from the bodies of mechanoids last time enabled the Imperial Court to quickly produce many items that were considered advanced technology even before the disaster.

Actually, Dong Tianyu did not know how different those chips obtained from the bodies of mechanoids were from those manufactured with technological means before the disaster. To former human technology, they could be said to be a rather unusual form of black technology.

Compared to the chips obtained from the bodies of mechanoids, the chips obtained from the battleship represented a qualitative leap.
