Dong Tianyu did not interrogate the man, and he had the direct ability to verify the authenticity of items.

So the fake partner hidden in the sole of his shoe did not succeed in misleading Dong Tianyu.

However, among the things stripped from Liu Zi, there were not many items that could serve as a hiding place, after all, there were only a few objects of a larger size on the ground.

If one were to judge the size of the stone eye by the size of a human eye, unless Liu Zi was not carrying the stone eye, there were no longer any items on the ground that could conceal it.

Looking at the scattered items on the ground—belts, key fobs, rings, and some decorative pendants.

Dong Tianyu conducted a thorough inspection of them, but even with his forceful dismantling, he did not find the stone eye that Liu Zi spoke of.

Seeing the objects that had been dismantled into parts, Dong Tianyu simply sent them all into the Cave, then directly proceeded to disassemble them completely.

But what Dong Tianyu had never expected was that after he commanded the Cave to disassemble those items, the Cave suddenly shook, and amidst the rapidly decomposing debris, there was left a stone flake the size of a fingernail, which in appearance, was very similar to the stone eye.

Just when all the debris had been disassembled, the stone eye also began to be slowly decomposed by the Cave, and at this moment, although Dong Tianyu could stop the decomposing ability of the Cave, looking at the stone eye which had already dispersed by a large amount, he thought for a while and still did not stop the disassembly work of the Cave.

Once the stone eye was completely decomposed by the Cave, Dong Tianyu directly entered into the Cave, first feeling the current situation inside the Cave, and found that he did not sense any change in the Cave.

He then opened the Data Layout, observing it carefully, and found that aside from the upgrade progress bar suddenly jumping up by ten percent, there were no other changes.

Dong Tianyu thought that by decomposing and absorbing the stone eye, the Cave might very likely gain the ability to appraise or digitize items, but it turned out to only increase a bit of the Cave’s upgrade progress.

Recalling the location where the stone eye appeared, the place originally should have been where the belt buckle had been.

However, Dong Tianyu remembered that the belt buckle should have been metallic, not expecting Liu Zi to have fashioned a compartment within it, hiding the stone eye inside the buckle’s compartment.

Now that he had figured out how Liu Zi had been able to see him and had successfully found the treasure, although he hadn’t quite gotten his hands on it, he had at least fed it to the Cave, so this trip was not in vain.

After leaving the Cave, looking at the unconscious Liu Zi, Dong Tianyu did not make things too difficult for him; after all, in any case, Liu Zi had provided him with a treasure, so Dong Tianyu sent him away while he was still unconscious.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu could not bear to let his body be gnawed on by monsters, so in the spirit of lending a helping hand, Dong Tianyu directly cremated him, then overturned the ground with the Earth Escape Skill, letting Liu Zi return to dust, and didn’t scatter his ashes.

After learning about the manner in which the stone eye appeared, Dong Tianyu estimated that there must be many treasures like the stone eye, which during the earthquake, were brought up from underground as the Earth Dragon turned.

It’s just that Dong Tianyu did not know whether these treasures were originally buried underground or had appeared on the land of Blue Star due to the natural disaster.

Indeed, the ancients did not deceive me; reading thousands of books is not as useful as traveling thousands of miles. It’s better to go out for a walk than to be cooped up at home practicing cultivation, as encounters are more helpful for oneself.

Having gained the stone eye, Dong Tianyu did not continue to eye the camp but instead made a decisive retreat from the area.

Since he had taken up cultivation, he must believe in fate. There is an old saying that too much is as bad as not enough, and that’s the idea.

When Dong Tianyu leisurely flew back, not only had the camp confirmed the death of the massive creature, but they had also gathered hands to butcher it.

This was the first time the camp had hunted a creature of such immense size, and because the creature’s death had not been too far from camp, everyone in the camp except the necessary duty personnel joined to assist in dismembering the giant beast.

When Dong Tianyu returned to the camp, the massive creature that stood there when he left was now reduced to just two footprints on the ground, proving it had once been there.

The butchered meat of the beast, aside from having a feast for everyone in the camp that day, the rest was taken away by the Officials for processing and then put into the contribution exchange task.

As Dong Tianyu flew back to the camp using Sword Flight, he coincidentally saw Mr. Thompson escorting a convoy of Metal Ingots towards the camp.

Looking at the dozen-plus carts of Metal Ingots, Dong Tianyu suddenly had an idea to outright rob them, but seeing the exhausted look on Mr. Thompson’s face in the convoy, Dong Tianyu eventually did not act; he simply escorted the convoy from the sky back to the city.

After the convoy met up with the Patrol Team from the camp, Dong Tianyu no longer floated leisurely in the sky but sped up directly to his own home.

After entering his home, Dong Tianyu found Mrs. Thompson was not there; thinking about it, it made sense—Mr. Thompson was out on duties, Dong Tianyu was not home, and now with no television, computers not yet hooked up, and phones only able to take calls, there was not much for Mrs. Thompson to do alone at home.
