Cave Refuge
Chapter 799 - 520
Perhaps it was because the attack of the Flying Swords was too fast, or perhaps the opponent’s cultivation level was not high, but in any case, during the attack of the Flying Swords, the other party did not see it.
Additionally, the man who had been shouting just now was standing at the edge of the deck, so the others could only see his back and did not notice that the Flying Swords had slit his throat.
Therefore, they were unaware that before the man fell from the deck, he had already died due to his throat being cut by the Flying Swords.
At first, they were also startled by the man falling off the deck, and by the time they came to their senses and wanted to rescue him,
perhaps it was the blood spurting from his throat that attracted those creatures in the water. By the time they approached the deck, intending to dive in to save the man, all they saw was blood spreading on the surface of the water while the body of the man was being torn apart by those creatures in the water.
At this moment, Dong Tianyu not only noticed that the number of creatures in the water was increasing, but he also recalled the larger creatures he had spotted underwater when he was diving.
It seems that with the passage of time, the underwater ecosystem might also form a diverse biological sphere, just like the ancient creatures once did in the forest.
Dong Tianyu saw the horrified expressions of the people standing on the opposite deck and suddenly thought of something. The Flying Swords again disappeared from behind his back, but this time they did not use the blade to kill the opposers directly.
Instead, the sword hilt struck several people on their backs violently. With the impact of the sword hilt, those who were originally standing on the deck, one not standing firm, instantly lost their footing and fell into the water.
Just as those who had fallen into the water were shouting at those on the deck to rescue them,
the creatures surrounding the dead body in the water were not going to easily let go of the delivery that had come to their mouths.
Just as the people on the deck were ready to throw rescue ropes down to pull them up, the creatures in the water had already gathered around the fallen individuals.
Before they could grab the rescue ropes thrown near them, the creatures in the water had already begun to frantically tear at their bodies.
When the people on the deck saw that someone had grabbed the thrown rescue rope and prepared to pull them up, they started to pull hard, and the previously taut rope suddenly slackened, causing the person pulling the rope to be startled.
As they pulled with all their might, a severed hand, along with a creature from the water that had not let go of the severed hand, flew onto the deck.
Looking at the creature from the water, thrashing about on the deck away from the water, and then at the severed hand beside it, the people on the deck immediately gasped in shock.
Just as they were coming to their senses, trying to find out who had pushed those people off the deck, Dong Tianyu’s Flying Swords began directly destroying the lifeboats beneath them.
Watching the Basin Chicken crowd on the deck, still in endless argument, Dong Tianyu seemed to be watching a comedy. Although he couldn’t understand what they were saying, the sight of the quarrelsome crowd on the opposite deck brought an involuntary smile to Dong Tianyu’s face.
It wasn’t long before the debating crowd on the deck suddenly discovered, to their astonishment, that the ship they were on was steadily sinking.
Just when they were about to call other ships to come to their aid, they were horrified to find that not only their ship but the other ships were also experiencing the same problem.
However, even so, they only panicked at the start, and before long, they managed to stabilize.
After all, people of their status not only possessed Companion Spiritual Treasures, but the levels of these Companion Spiritual Treasures were also not low.
Moreover, they knew that the creatures in the water would not approach Companion Spiritual Treasures, so the originally frantic people gradually calmed down.
But what they did not notice was that not only was their own ship leaking, but those behind them who were riding Companion Spirits had also been attacked by Dong Tianyu’s Flying Swords.
Unlike ordinary ships that would sink slowly after being breached, those Companion Spirits who were attacked by the Flying Swords caused their owners to let out a muffled groan, and then they instantly fell unconscious.
As the owners of the Companion Spirits fell unconscious, their mounts disappeared instantly from under them, and those riding the Companion Spirits fell into the water as swiftly as dumplings being dropped.
As those people fell, the aquatic creatures beneath the surface immediately began scrambling for the unexpected food that had appeared.
When those who had been at the forefront left the sinking ship and transferred onto their Companion Spiritual Treasures, they suddenly realized that the once powerful fleet was now reduced to just them, in addition to the few in the back with Companion Spiritual Treasures that carried water lotuses.
At this point, even if they were being slaughtered, they should have understood that it was all Dong Tianyu’s doing.
Just as they noticed Dong Tianyu approaching them and were about to beg for mercy, before they could even form their pleas, they suddenly heard a muffled grunt beside them.
Along with the low thump of something hitting, they instantly felt weightless; by the time they realized what had happened, they were all already falling into the water.
Just as they were about to summon their own Companion Spiritual Treasures, excruciating pain tore through their bodies.
Bearing the intense agony, they looked at their bodies only to find the aquatic creatures were relentlessly tearing at their flesh.
Their blood dyed the waters crimson. Beneath Dong Tianyu, his Companion Spiritual Treasure, like a pathfinder, forcefully cleared a path through the creatures that roamed the surface.
Watching Dong Tianyu slowly approach, the few Companion Spiritual Treasures that carried the five aqueous beauties remained motionless on the water surface.
At this moment, on those few Companion Spiritual Treasures, apart from the five aqueous beauties, there were also some Basin Chickens, though not many were aboard. It was unclear if they were the masters of those Companion Spiritual Treasures or just mere lucky survivors.
As Dong Tianyu continued to draw near, the Companion Spiritual Treasure beneath him also gradually surfaced.
When Dong Tianyu arrived before them, looking down from on high, all of their faces revealed expressions of terror.
"I believe you all understand the purpose of my visit," he said. "Send them over, and I’ll spare your lives."
Just as Dong Tianyu thought none of them could understand Chinese, unexpectedly one of the water lotuses with a queen-like demeanor asked in somewhat stiff Chinese, "What do you want to do?"
She was trying to suppress her fear, and although her demeanor remained strong and dominant.
It was unclear if she was naturally this way or if it was the result of training, but her demeanor indeed piqued Dong Tianyu’s interest.
"Does knowing what I want to do help you? The only thing you can do now is obediently follow my instructions. If I’m in a good mood, I might just let you go; otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite," he said.
Seeing Dong Tianyu’s expression become increasingly ruthless, the water lotuses standing behind the woman fearfully tugged at her sleeve.
Perhaps she had mustered an immense amount of courage to step forward in the first place, so at this point, given a way out by her peers, she no longer insisted.
Seeing the silent crowd before him, Dong Tianyu grew impatient and spoke again, "What’s it going to be? Do you really think I won’t take action?"
Seeing that the Flying Swords which had been hovering behind Dong Tianyu had now arrived at his side, the others who didn’t understand Chinese, could guess from the situation that Dong Tianyu was ready to make his move.
Perhaps because she had conversed with Dong Tianyu, the others now turned their gaze towards the water lotus with a queen-like air.
Feeling the gaze of the others upon her, at this critical moment of life and death, she instantly understood what the others were thinking.
She gathered her courage and requested in Chinese, "Please don’t take action yet. They didn’t understand your command just now. Allow me to translate your words to them," she said.
After speaking, she looked at Dong Tianyu with pleading eyes. To be honest, when a woman with such a strong demeanor showed a sign of submission, her charm would increase exponentially, using gaming terms.
