Cave Refuge-Chapter 849 - 545 Mutual Devouring_2

To tell the truth, from the time the Mysterious Ship appeared up until now, Dong Tianyu had only encountered the Giant Mysterious Ship once before. Then he hurriedly left and didn’t know what became of those who didn’t leave.

At the time, he hadn’t discovered the sea battle mode, it was still the original Mysterious Realm mode. If the person who entered the Mysterious Realm was quite strong, they might have been able to successfully eradicate it.

Gazing at the collision of those Mysterious Ships not far away, it was like watching non-Newtonian fluids collide. At the moment of impact, both sides were very hard, but as the shockwave from the collision dissipated, both sides began to merge slowly into each other like liquids.

As one of the Mysterious Ships continued to grow in size, the surrounding ships gradually lost the ability to resist and could only helplessly be devoured slowly.

By the time there was only one Mysterious Ship left, even though there was a great distance between Dong Tianyu and that ship, at that moment, a trace of fear unexpectedly arose in his heart.

He had felt this sensation before when he faced the Giant Mysterious Ship.

The difference this time was that he had quickly left after feeling this the last time, but this time, Dong Tianyu decided to take action himself and give it a try.

He wanted to see if the enemy that could make him feel fear was just superficial showoff or if it really possessed extremely strong combat capability.

Dong Tianyu controlled his Companion Spiritual Treasure and charged straight toward the Giant Mysterious Ship. Seeing someone actively approaching, the Giant Mysterious Ship didn’t wait in place, but instead advanced to meet Dong Tianyu head-on.

As the distance between them closed, they entered the attack range of the Companion Spiritual Treasure. Without hesitation, Dong Tianyu immediately fired four Drill Heads from the front of the Companion Spiritual Treasure.

When the Drill Heads launched by Dong Tianyu’s Companion Spiritual Treasure successfully hit the target, an information flashed through his mind.

He could choose to open four separate passages like before, or choose to open one huge passage.

If this choice were with the Major Powers, they would definitely opt for the four independent passages.

However, while opening four separate passages might seem to allow more people to move to the other side, the more openings there were, the more positions they would need to defend after five minutes.

It was necessary to remember that after five minutes, the Fishmen inside the Mysterious Ships could also invade back to Dong Tianyu’s side.

If the choice was up to those with large numbers like the Major Powers, either option wouldn’t be a loss, but for a Lone Wolf like Dong Tianyu, it was better to honestly choose the only passage.

Although choosing the single passage meant the passage’s volume would increase and its capacity would strengthen, as long as the enemy couldn’t cross the passage, other problems were not an issue.

As soon as Dong Tianyu made his choice, a giant gate of light appeared within the guest cabin of the Companion Spiritual Treasure.

Seeing this, Dong Tianyu did not hesitate, he directly passed through the passage and arrived in the cabin of the opposite Giant Mysterious Ship.

As he looked at the green Eerie Fog still spreading inside the Mysterious Ship, Dong Tianyu was momentarily stunned, but soon collected himself. First, he used Spirit Power to construct an outer shell that completely encased him and then he summoned the Three Flags.

No sooner had the White Bone Puppet emerged from the White Bone Banner than the pervasive ink-green Eerie Fog directly enveloped the puppet’s body. Dong Tianyu, upon seeing the suddenly green White Bone Puppet, felt a bit amused, but in such a critical moment, he managed only to force a reluctant smile.

In addition to the White Bone Puppet that turned green upon emerging, the Fierce Ghosts that drilled out of the Hundred Ghosts Banner let out pitiful howls upon their first contact with the green Eerie Fog.

What followed was beyond Dong Tianyu’s expectations; the ink-green Eerie Fog could not only adhere to solid objects but seemingly even soul-type creatures like Fierce Ghosts couldn’t escape its grasp.

However, as the dark green eerie fog continuously clung to the White Bone Puppets and the Fierce Ghosts, the density of the fog around them visibly decreased.

But just when the density of the surrounding dark green fog had just lessened, the rich green fog in the distance once again refilled the thinning fog here. In no time, the density of the surrounding fog returned to its original state.

Confronted with this situation, Dong Tianyu felt somewhat helpless, but when the Blood Sea burst forth from the Bloodthirsty Banner, it was like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, with a ’sizzle’ the sound immediately broke the original silence.

Although the dark green fog drifted in the air, and the Blood Sea flowed on the ground after spilling from the Bloodthirsty Banner, the intense sound produced upon their contact immediately filled Dong Tianyu’s eardrums.

And the noise generated when the two met also attracted the monsters staying in other areas of the Mysterious Ship.

Looking at the Fishmen, whose bodies were already bubbling green, but whose eyes looked like cataracts, it seemed they had become blind after staying in the dark green fog for a long time.

And when they rushed over here, they inevitably stepped into the ground contaminated by the Blood Sea.

Furthermore, as these green Fishmen continually approached, the Fierce Ghosts, which had originally been cowering together due to the green fog, no longer feared the dark green fog in the air and directly pounced on the blind Fishmen.

Dong Tianyu noticed that as the Fierce Ghosts continually devoured the souls of the Fishmen, their sizes gradually increased. Although the change in size was minor, there was indeed a change.

Not only that, as the bodies of the Fierce Ghosts grew larger, the color of their bodies, originally turned green due to the fog’s adherence, began to fade.

Perceiving this situation, Dong Tianyu immediately turned his gaze to the Tainted Blood on the ground. Unlike the Fierce Ghosts, which could smoothly devour souls, the green Fishmen who fell to the ground fluttered like salted fish entering hot oil, with the Tainted Blood around their bodies boiling and surging.

But this intense reaction would not last long and would end up like salted fish in a wok, all moisture extracted and eventually sinking into the wok.

It was a pity that the discoloration of the Fierce Ghosts’ body surfaces didn’t last long before they were once again dyed dark green by the surrounding fog.

Despite having found a method to clear the fog that could even stain souls, Dong Tianyu did not wish to experience it himself.

As more Fishmen kept approaching, the colors on the Fierce Ghosts’ bodies oscillated between deep green and pale green.

The area covered by the Tainted Blood on the ground had expanded several times over, unaware, and the Fierce Ghosts had killed countless Fishmen, their bodies flashing back and forth countless times like traffic lights.

Even the White Bone Puppet blocking the passageway, because the White Bone Banner had absorbed quite a lot of White Bone Essence, the color of its bones also kept switching back and forth.

Also, because of this, the density of the dark green fog in the surroundings continued to weaken. Despite the replenishment from the fog in the distance, it was undeniable that the continuous deaths of the Fishmen also significantly reduced the fog’s density.

Just as the situation seemed favorable, the sound of intense fighting suddenly came from the connecting passageway. Dong Tianyu shifted his gaze and saw that the White Bone Puppet was battling several short-statured, hunchbacked Fishmen wielding daggers. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The White Bone Puppet had planted its Tower Shield at the entrance to the connecting passageway. If the passageway hadn’t been larger this time, as with the previous few times, the sheer size of the Tower Shield alone could have completely sealed the entrance.

However, although the Tower Shield had not completely sealed the entrance this time, the remaining space was very limited. So when the White Bone Puppet took its position there, it completely blocked any remaining space, leaving no gaps whatsoever.

When the battle began, Dong Tianyu had only habitually arranged for the White Bone Puppet to guard the door, after all, compared to the Fierce Ghosts in the Hundred Ghosts Banner and the Tainted Blood from the Bloodthirsty Banner, the White Bone Puppet’s attributes in group combat were too poor.

Dong Tianyu had not expected that the White Bone Puppet, which had not been particularly involved before, would play such a significant role this time.
