Cave Refuge-Chapter 848 - 545: Mutual Devouring

Although the drill head could be launched, it was still technically a melee weapon due to the chain linking it to the Companion Spiritual Treasure.

Not only that, but the launchable drill head fully inherited the ram’s suppressive effect against the Mysterious Ship, and with four drill heads, it could suppress four Mysterious Ships simultaneously.

Since all the Mysterious Ships around had merged into the final Giant Ghost Ship, there were no more Mysterious Ships in the vicinity.

Dong Tianyu could have stayed in that place and waited for the storm above the sea to end, but the sudden event had profoundly affected him.

At this moment, he could use the Mysterious Ship’s frenzied behavior to gather more Mysterious Ships together, then wait for them to devour each other. Dong Tianyu would ultimately only need to face one Mysterious Ship.

Thinking this, Dong Tianyu immediately activated the Companion Spiritual Treasure and sped toward the location positioned by the Magic Capital Base on the tablet.

As the Companion Spiritual Treasure gradually moved away from the area it had been in, it began to encounter new Mysterious Ships.

At this point, Dong Tianyu noticed a rather strange phenomenon: when he did not control the Companion Spiritual Treasure to approach, the Mysterious Ships would devour each other only by coincidence, not deliberately. Those Mysterious Ships that did not make contact, even if they passed by each other, would leave one another unharmed unless they touched.

However, once the distance between Dong Tianyu and a Mysterious Ship reached a specific range, those Mysterious Ships would immediately become frenzied. They not only chased Dong Tianyu at a high speed but also subconsciously approached other nearby Mysterious Ships, then both ships would devour each other.

For this situation, Dong Tianyu couldn’t understand the reason and could only speculate it to be a negative factor brought by the sea storm.

Although he had not used the Mysterious Core to upgrade the propulsion system of the Companion Spiritual Treasure, since he had already upgraded it to the limit, under normal circumstances, those Mysterious Ships could not catch up to Dong Tianyu when he ran.

But what was Eaton Thompson’s current activity about? It was all about fishing for law enforcement, devising ways to make the Mysterious Ships gather together, deliberately letting them devour each other so he could reap the benefits. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

That’s why, whenever the Companion Spiritual Treasure was about to shake off the Mysterious Ships behind it, it would deliberately slow down, let the Mysterious Ships behind approach, then speed up again and flee from there.

For Dong Tianyu’s act of toying with the opponent, perhaps because the Mysterious Ships didn’t have carbon-based life forms, they didn’t comprehend human emotions, so they weren’t affected at all.

But this wasn’t necessarily a good thing—after all, Dong Tianyu wanted to provoke them into losing their composure.

Ultimately, if the opponent truly lost their temper, whoever benefited, it was definitely the people on his side. Unfortunately, the opponents were Ghost Creatures without Spiritual Wisdom and not highly ranked, making Dong Tianyu’s actions similar to playing the lute to a cow.

However, perhaps due to the storm on the sea surface signifying a new round of natural disasters, every creature on Blue Star besides humans had lost their sense of reason and gone wild.

As Dong Tianyu continued moving under the sea, the number of Giant Ghost Ships following the Companion Spiritual Treasure became more and more numerous, especially since Dong Tianyu did not take a straight path but deliberately aimed toward areas with a high number of Mysterious Ships.

However, because the Mysterious Ships would actively devour each other, despite continuously having new Mysterious Ships drawn in to join the pursuit, the actual number of Mysterious Ships actively chasing Dong Tianyu hadn’t increased much.

Because those newly joined Mysterious Ships would soon be devoured by the veterans in the chasing group.

Only when those Mysterious Ships grew through devouring others to become Large-Sized Boats did their tastes suddenly become picky. For the smaller Mysterious Ships that approached them, they would not actively close in for devouring. However, for any that voluntarily offered themselves up, they didn’t refuse.

When two Mysterious Ships appeared behind Dong Tianyu, he observed the chasing forces behind him with some curiosity to see if those two ships would collide and devour each other.

However, to Dong Tianyu’s surprise, those two Mysterious Ships remained unharmed and continued alongside each other. Based on the situation earlier, they should have devoured each other.

Watching two Large-Sized Boats following him, Dong Tianyu didn’t quite know what to say, but fortunately, those two Large-Sized Boats had no ranged attack capabilities.

So at that moment, Dong Tianyu could still whimsically treat the Mysterious Ships behind him like walking dogs, turning them round and round. Should any danger arise, Dong Tianyu could still control the Companion Spiritual Treasure to speed away.

As the location of the destination on the tablet became closer, Dong Tianyu couldn’t know how many Large-Sized Ghost Ships had followed the Companion Spiritual Treasure.

Just as Dong Tianyu was about to turn the ship’s bow to deal with the Large-Sized Ghost Ships behind him, suddenly those Large-Sized Ghost Ships began to devour each other.

Seeing this situation, Dong Tianyu controlled the Companion Spiritual Treasure to accelerate and quickly moved away from there, stopping not far away to quietly wait for those Mysterious Ships to finish devouring each other, wanting to see if they could further evolve into a Giant Ghost Ship.
