Another possibility was that Dong Tianyu had now entered the Mysterious Realm, which was why his Divine Sense couldn’t leave the cabin.

After all, it was his own Companion Spiritual Treasure. No matter what, Dong Tianyu still had some understanding of it; hence the first possibility, although present, was not very likely.

Along with the prompts from the Mysterious Realm received in his mind, Dong Tianyu also confirmed that the collision that caused his body to wobble just now must have been the vibration produced by the collision between the Mysterious Ship and his Companion Spiritual Treasure.

What Dong Tianyu never expected was that at such a deep depth underwater, he could still collide with the Mysterious Ship.

However, Dong Tianyu hadn’t projected his Divine Sense outward just now, so he didn’t know what kind of Mysterious Realm it was.

But Dong Tianyu thought since he seldom passed through the Mysterious Realm in the regular way, it did not matter if he was unclear about it.

However, since it was a Mysterious Realm formed by the integration of the Mysterious Ship and the Companion Spiritual Treasure, logically speaking, the size of this Mysterious Realm should be not much different from the inner space of the Companion Spiritual Treasure.

But it was only when Dong Tianyu expanded his Divine Sense to the fullest did he realize that there was a world of difference between the size of his Companion Spiritual Treasure, which had devoured countless Mysterious Cores, and this Mysterious Realm.

According to the information transmitted to his mind from the Mysterious Realm, the content within this Mysterious Realm was quite simple. Dong Tianyu had also played it once before; it was the game of cat and mouse.

Last time, it was in the Bloody Mysterious Realm where he pitted his wits against other players, but this time, the game of cat and mouse was a single-player game, with Dong Tianyu as the captor. He must capture the ten hiders hidden within the Mysterious Realm within ten Two Hours.

It seemed very simple, but these ten hiders each belonged to ten different races, possessing ten different Innate Abilities.

Fortunately, this Mysterious Realm did not impose any restrictions on Dong Tianyu, so he could use his Divine Sense to observe the things within the Mysterious Realm very carefully.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu was confined in an independent cabin, with his Divine Sense also restricted within this cabin.

Dong Tianyu appeared to be sitting cross-legged in meditation, but in reality, he was using his Divine Sense to carefully observe every blade of grass and every piece of wood in the room.

Since the room was quite small, his Divine Sense encompassed the entire room.

As time passed, and the room’s door normally opened, Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense was no longer restricted and directly penetrated through the walls, spreading into other rooms.

Seeing the door open, Dong Tianyu didn’t stay in the room any longer and stood up to leave.

The moment Dong Tianyu stepped out of the room, he noticed that a small ornament in the room had moved slightly. If the entire room hadn’t been locked by his Divine Sense, even relying solely on eyesight, it would have been very difficult to detect this.

Noticing the anomaly, Dong Tianyu closed the room’s door casually as he left and pretended to walk away before silently Floating outside the door on his Flying Swords.

As the sound of Dong Tianyu’s footsteps gradually faded away, the small ornament in the room shifted slightly again.

If it weren’t for the small ornament on the table revealing a subtle flaw that Dong Tianyu caught, he wouldn’t have actually been able to notice anything peculiar about this small ornament.

Standing outside the door, Dong Tianyu suddenly realized that this time there were no restrictions like last time for catching the wrong target; the mission given this time was simply to capture all ten hiders without any other restrictions.

With this in mind, Dong Tianyu no longer hesitated, immediately opened the door, and headed straight for that small ornament.

Perhaps Dong Tianyu’s action this time was too straightforward, and he must have confirmed Dong Tianyu had locked onto him.

This time, the small ornament no longer played it naive and instantly reverted to its original form.

Dong Tianyu had not expected that even after the other party reverted to their original form, their body would be only the size of a thumb, which was not much different from their previous miniature appearance.

It seemed that this hidden being must be the Thumb-sized Being often depicted in novels and dramas.

At that moment, Dong Tianyu still didn’t know what the other party’s racial innate ability was. The initial transformation must have been a cat-and-mouse game, an ability possessed by the hider.

When the other party fled to the side of the table and jumped down from the side, Dong Tianyu immediately understood the Thumb-sized Being’s racial innate ability. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Because it was on the side, under normal circumstances, as soon as the Thumb-sized Being leapt from the tabletop, the table would have blocked Dong Tianyu’s line of sight. Logically, Dong Tianyu would have thought that the Thumb-sized Being had landed on the ground and then hidden somewhere else.

But the Thumb-sized Being did not realize that Dong Tianyu had already locked onto them with Divine Sense. The moment the Thumb-sized Being jumped off the table and out of Dong Tianyu’s line of sight, their body rapidly shrank.

At that time, the Thumb-sized Being was roughly the size of a grain of sand.

Using their innate ability to shrink again, the Thumb-sized Being did not fall to the ground but instead hid in the gap between the side plank of the table and the tabletop.

If Dong Tianyu hadn’t been constantly monitoring the other party with Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu would have had to search blindly, which likely would have exhausted him without ever finding the Thumb-sized Being.

The hiding spot was incredibly cunning, and even if Dong Tianyu had been watching all along, and even if one knew the other was a Thumb-sized Being, any normal person wouldn’t have thought of that spot as a hiding place.

Dong Tianyu strode over to the table, now unsure of how to actually capture the being, whether through physical contact or by simply killing them.

With that thought, Dong Tianyu simply tried to move the table directly into the Storage space.

What Dong Tianyu had never expected was that, with this action, the table was indeed successfully taken into the Storage space. However, the Thumb-sized Being hiding there did not get taken in but instead appeared out of nowhere in midair.

However, at that time they were only the size of a grain of sand, which could have been easily overlooked if one were using only their eyes.

But the other had already been locked onto by Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense. How could they possibly escape from Dong Tianyu’s grasp? Before their body could fall down, Dong Tianyu reached out quickly to grab them.

The Thumb-sized Being, now in a state of suspension, had no leverage to dodge the large hand that Dong Tianyu extended.

Thus, Dong Tianyu naturally caught them directly in the palm of his hand, and as soon as Dong Tianyu made contact with the Thumb-sized Being, he heard in his ear: "Capture successful, nine remaining captives."

This time, the limit was ten Two Hours, which is twenty hours, yet Dong Tianyu had used less than five minutes to successfully capture the first hider, providing a good start to the game.

Although there’s an old saying that the most dangerous places are also the safest, many people only hear the latter part about the safest place, without understanding the implication of danger.

Even though Dong Tianyu had successfully captured a hider, he did not let his guard down, promptly taking everything in the room into the Storage space.

Do you remember after the flood, the quite peculiar method of scavenging for resources? That is, at times like this, when the Mysterious Ship merges with ordinary ships to form a Mysterious Realm, all the materials inside are real, and as long as one leaves the Mysterious Realm, by any means, they can take away the materials they carry with them.

Others might only be able to take away some valuable resources in ordinary backpacks, but faced with Dong Tianyu, who owns a Storage space, even if this Mysterious Realm wasn’t a game of cat and mouse, Dong Tianyu would still sweep the entire realm clean.

After all, it’s foolish not to take advantage of free pickings, and there’s no loss in doing so.

Looking at the now empty room, Dong Tianyu very carefully used Divine Sense to scan the room once more, confirming there were no oversights or any hidden doors or compartments, before turning and leaving the room.

After exiting the room and closing the door, Dong Tianyu cautiously placed a white strip on top of the doorframe. That way, upon his return, he would know if anyone had opened this door.
