Cave Refuge
Chapter 762 - 502
After numerous attempts, Dong Tianyu had already confirmed that even though his body could leave the body of the ship for a short while, as time elapsed, he would gradually feel weak, and he needed to have a limb in contact with the ship’s body to relieve this weakness.
Having confirmed this, Dong Tianyu began to observe his surroundings, wanting to know how he could obtain the Mysterious Core within the Mysterious Realm.
However, at this moment there was nothing around him, just himself, alone with his ship, in the midst of the vast ocean. Even with Dong Tianyu using his Divine Sense to carefully observe his surroundings, there was never any other discovery from the beginning to the end.
Dong Tianyu looked up at the sky, where there was neither sun nor stars. The azure sky was devoid of even a single cloud.
Since he couldn’t discern any direction, Dong Tianyu didn’t dare to move forward rashly. But after waiting for a long time, and still being surrounded by barren scenery, Dong Tianyu couldn’t stand it any longer. He picked a random direction, commanding the Jade Ship to move forward.
At this time, there were no creatures in the water, nor waves on the surface, except for the ripples stirred up by the motion of the Jade Ship; the water’s surface was still so calm.
As time slowly passed, a sense of solitary loneliness inexplicably surrounded Dong Tianyu’s heart.
At this time, Dong Tianyu was still fully expanding his Divine Sense, but unfortunately, he still hadn’t discovered any living creature.
As the feeling of loneliness slowly enveloped his mind, Dong Tianyu seemed to also sense the challenge that the Mysterious Realm was presenting to him at this moment.
Thus, Dong Tianyu took out a handheld console from the Storage space, while commanding the Jade Ship to move at full speed forward, he threw his mind into the game.
With his Cultivation Level, the soul-type games that originally tested hand speed and reaction ability became very simple for Dong Tianyu. If the game required only operation, then such games could easily be controlled by Dong Tianyu now.
One game, two games, three games...
Dong Tianyu didn’t know how long the Jade Ship had been moving, as in this silent Mysterious Realm, there was nothing besides Dong Tianyu and his Companion Spiritual Treasure.
Since there were no suitable reference points, coupled with the lack of day and night or weather changes within the Mysterious Realm, Dong Tianyu had no idea how long he had stayed here.
Perhaps it was because of the game, Dong Tianyu didn’t feel bored at all.
It was just that one day, Dong Tianyu had been planning to enter the Cave to find the Canaries to relieve his boredom, but when he opened the portal to the Cave, a piece of information inexplicably appeared in his mind.
If he left the Jade Ship to enter the Cave, then the Mysterious Realm would directly eject Dong Tianyu from it.
It might seem nice to be able to leave safely, right? However, if Dong Tianyu were to be sent out of the Mysterious Realm, that would mean he had returned from the Mysterious Realm as a failure.
Since up until now he had not encountered anything out of the ordinary and had not understood the significance of the dark green gas, Dong Tianyu certainly couldn’t leave just like that.
Furthermore, Dong Tianyu suddenly thought that in this Mysterious Realm he became weak when he left the platform of the Jade Ship. If he left the Mysterious Realm, he didn’t know if this condition would continue.
If the negative state disappeared after leaving the Mysterious Realm that would be fine, but if it didn’t, he would never be able to leave the Mysterious Realm for any activity in the future, which would indeed be troublesome.
So, without being sure whether he would still be affected by the negative impact after leaving, Dong Tianyu would definitely not risk the potential future consequences.
Therefore, sensing this in his heart, Dong Tianyu honestly took out the handheld console from the Storage space and quietly stayed on the ship, playing games. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
After an unknown amount of time while sitting in the ship playing games, Dong Tianyu suddenly became aware that the Divine Sense was no longer surrounded by a barren state of nothing.
In front of him, not far ahead, an island had emerged. The part of the island that was above the water wasn’t large, covering only about four to five hundred square meters.
However, the exposed part of the island was very even, and there was also a crowd sitting around a bonfire, merrily feasting together.
Even though he hadn’t approached them, the merry atmosphere from those people, as observed through his Divine Sense, started to influence Dong Tianyu’s mood.
Perhaps because he had been lonely for so long after entering here, Dong Tianyu unexpectedly wanted to get closer to them, eager to join that lively group.
As the Jade Ship continued to approach, the group that had been sitting around the bonfire also noticed Dong Tianyu’s figure.
At first, the faces of those people showed a wary expression, but as Dong Tianyu continued to get closer, and after noticing that Dong Tianyu was alone on the ship, they gradually relaxed.
At this time, Dong Tianyu saw other ships of various sizes docked next to the island, from rafts to wooden boats, but without exception, they all should belong to the Companion Spiritual Treasures of survivors.
But when Dong Tianyu got closer and saw the eight people on the island along with nearly twenty various ships surrounding it, he sensed that something was off.
Generally speaking, one Companion Spirit Treasury corresponds to one person. With nearly twenty Companion Spiritual Treasures around the island but only eight people on the island, Dong Tianyu had an epiphany and subconsciously used his Divine Sense to examine the unidentified chunks of meat roasting over the fire, which seemed to be a whole roasted animal, likely a lamb.
