Cave Refuge-Chapter 244 - 242: A Visitor Comes for Fun_1

At this moment, Dong Tianyu had imagined more than a dozen ways to use the teleportation channel in his mind.

However, for Dong Tianyu at his current state, these methods were somewhat useless given that even with a sniper rifle, ordinary people posed no threat to him if he was alert. If he did not detect the threat, no matter how strong his measures were, he wouldn’t be able to initiate them.

As for encountering an enemy stronger than Dong Tianyu, well, it probably wouldn’t happen for now. Although Dong Tianyu’s cultivation had only reached the fourth level of the Foundation Building Stage, his combat ability was much stronger than that of any martial artist due to his dual cultivation of spirit and body.

Because of this, Dong Tianyu had not practiced any other spells besides the Art of Controlling Objects. After all, the spells during the Foundation Building Stage were only as powerful as a high-explosive hand grenade. Instead of spending time and energy on practicing these spells, it is easier to use firearms directly.

After all, even for a cultivator, the spirit power within the body during the Foundation Building Stage is limited. Even with numerous spells, only a few can be used during actual combat.

While Dong Tianyu had only practiced one magic spell, Art of Controlling Objects, he could still launch a salvo of a hundred guns with the aid of firearms, although it is impossible for him to unleash a barrage of thousands of bullets at once.

If anyone really got on Dong Tianyu’s nerves, he would teach them what a land chasing hand grenade is.

For the current Dong Tianyu, it is better to cultivate his abilities using the Chaos Decision to increase his cultivation level, which would allow him to simultaneously control more firearms in battle, rather than wasting energy on practicing low-rank spells.

The thought of using the teleportation channel for combat quickly disappeared from Dong Tianyu’s mind. After all, he preferred to quietly keep a low profile and focus on cultivation. The Blue Star currently had no cultivation resources, and there were no resources to fight for, even if he did venture out into the world.

Dong Tianyu looked at the empty cave, thinking that someone would definitely visit in the future. After some thought, he teleported the originally built villa out of the cave mansion, also creating a generator and storing some fuel in the cave for cover.

After opening the metal gate and stashing all the containers stacked on the platform into the lower layer of the cave, and then neatly lining them up on the inner side of the cave, the lone wolf’s survival shelter was complete.

(The cave is divided into two parts, the lower half of which is composed of the original Shadow Space, and is in a state of temporal stagnation, specifically used for storing non-living bodies.

The upper half of the space is the original space within the cave mansion. However, after being turned into a semi-circular form, the surface area was reduced, but the internal height of the space was increased.)

After sorting out this place, Dong Tianyu began to think about how to accommodate the Canaries in the Wave Stepper.

Actually, as Dong Tianyu completely took control of the access right to the cave, he subconsciously wanted to move all the Canaries into the cave.

The reason why he did not let the Canaries enter the cave mansion before was that they could take advantage of the times when Dong Tianyu wasn’t in the mansion to leave directly through the opened metal gate.

If any of the Canaries ran out of the cave mansion and came into contact with outsiders, Dong Tianyu’s situation in the cave mansion would soon be known to others, which would inevitably cause trouble for him, no matter who obtained the information or their personality.

That’s why Dong Tianyu turned the Wave Stepper, which was originally just a vehicle, into a houseboat, with the goal of creating a place suitable for long-term residence.

However, things are different now. To enter or exit the cave, one must get Dong Tianyu’s consent. Even if the teleportation channel is not closed, they still cannot use it to get in or out of the cave.

But recently, life has been a bit monotonous for Dong Tianyu, and he suddenly wanted to test to see if the Canaries would try to escape if given the opportunity.

Of course, Dong Tianyu was not a saint. Before having fun, he went to the Scripture Hall to learn the Soul Lamp technique and made a soul lamp for each of the Canaries.

The Soul Lamp had multiple comprehensive functions. Outsiders could determine the health of the target according to the brightness of the lamp wick, quickly locate the target with the guidance of the Soul Lamp, and even annihilate the soul of the target by extinguishing the flame of the lamp wick.

Under normal circumstances, making a Soul Lamp requires the target to willingly split their soul to make the lamp wick, and the stronger the target, the harder it is to make the lamp wick.

And the stronger the target, the weaker the bond between the lamp wick’s flame and the target. Under normal circumstances, when a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, the only remaining function of the Soul Lamp is to know whether the target is dead or not.

By then, it’s not even possible to determine if the target is injured by the brightness of the lamp wick’s flame, let alone kill the target by extinguishing the flame of the lamp wick.

If the target’s cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, the target can even actively sever the bond between themselves and the Soul Lamp, but under normal circumstances, no one would do so.

The soul needed to make a lamp wick isn’t much, even for ordinary people; after making a lamp wick, they may only feel a bit distracted for a few days but soon return to normal.

Within a few days, after successfully experimenting several times on livestock, Dong Tianyu decided to make Soul Lamps for the Canaries.

As usual, Dong Tianyu came to the Wave Stepper that day. After dinner, Dong Tianyu and the Canaries respectively tried various role-plays, such as doctors for examinations, nurses for washing, prosecutors for interrogations, and teachers for rewards.

Under the stimulation of the spirit power, the already exhausted canaries fell into unconsciousness because they could now enter the cave mansion through the teleportation passage at any time, anywhere.

So, Dong Tianyu brought the unconscious canaries into the cave mansion one by one, ensuring that they always remained unconscious, and personally lit their soul-lamps for each of them.

The whole process went very smoothly without any mishap.

By the time Dong Tianyu brought the last canary onto the Platform, the sky outside had become very dark.

Or it could be said that since the onset of eternal night, the sun had never risen again.

However, inside the Platform, which was a magic artifact, the lights were still brilliant. If it was not for the Shadow Formation that made the Platform invisible, the light from the Platform, just like a beacon in the night, definitely would have attracted many to explore further.

Everything was ready, all waiting for the east wind to stir up waves on the lake surface.

The east wind Dong Tianyu desired did not keep him waiting for long. When Ye Liuyun and Robinson William drove up the mountain, not only did Dong Tianyu’s divine sense detect the light from their car, but the canaries living on the Platform also found that someone was coming.

After all, in the vast deep night, even the most careless person, if they looked outside, they could detect the approaching light.

With several months of cultivation time, the canaries, who practiced Xuan Yin Body Training, had significantly improved their physical conditions.

Deceiving Dong Tianyu, they had the ability to move freely up and down, using the ropes tied to the deck railing.

They also realized that the Platform was surrounded by the formation, which made it impossible for them to determine its location with the naked eye, so they cleverly made ropes out of strips of cloth as a guide to return to the Platform once they left.

Every day, before Dong Tianyu returned, they thought they were very subtle in their actions.

Little did they know, Dong Tianyu had already discovered their whereabouts through his divine sense, but he kept silent. After all, the more people there were, the less attention they would get, hence he played around by making soul lamps for them for fun.

Fundamentally, if they had stayed on the Platform, or if Dong Tianyu had taken them into the cave mansion, they would never have been in any danger unless Dong Tianyu died.

Originally, Dong Tianyu had waited for two days for the east wind. Not expecting it, he was about to create his own when suddenly Ye Liuyun and Robinson William arrived, perfectly becoming the first "east wind" for Dong Tianyu to test the canaries.

When the canaries saw the light approaching, they immediately became quiet while frolicking. When they heard the sound of vehicles approaching, everyone became silent, and some people wavered in their hearts.

However, at this moment, everyone fell into silence until the vehicle moved uphill and the light gradually dissipated; some people seemed to make up their minds.

Ye Liuyun and Robinson William had a clear purpose for their visit. As an Inner Breath Realm martial artist, Robinson William, even without the car headlights illuminating the road ahead, could see in the dark thanks to his inner strength, so his driving up the mountain was smooth.

When the car reached the platform, Robinson William intentionally honked the horn a few times as if to notify Dong Tianyu about their arrival.

And Dong Tianyu, pretending to only just notice, opened the metal door of the cave and saw Ye Liuyun and Robinson William getting out of the car.

Seeing the brilliantly lit scenery inside the cave, Ye Liuyun exaggeratedly said: "Brother Dong, that’s a bit extravagant, isn’t it? The city lights are only on during the day now, and as soon as it gets dark, they shut off the power. You’re doing quite well!" After saying that, Ye Liuyun gave Dong Tianyu a thumbs up.

Dong Tianyu was delighted to see them: "Why are you here? Never mind! This isn’t the place to chat. Come in with me, I’ll get some snacks, we can eat and chat."

Saying this, Dong Tianyu ushered them into the cave.

Meanwhile, Dong Tianyu noticed several figures slipping down the ropes from the deck of the Platform.

He closed the metal gate with a bit of annoyance, huffed a little, but he did not intercept them. Instead, he returned to the cave, leading Robinson William and Ye Liuyun into the villa.

The villa was brilliantly lit at this point. Ye Liuyun and Robinson William looked at the villa’s daylight-like scenery, and their faces showed envy.

As soon as the three men sat down, Ye Liuyun, looking at the fresh fruit on the coffee table, admired, "Brother Dong, I have to admit you are formidable."

After that, he picked up an apple from the table, didn’t even bother to wipe it, and took a bite directly. The crispy and sweet taste filled his mouth, and Ye Liuyun felt like he hadn’t tasted such a delicious apple in quite a while.
