Cave Refuge

So this angry fellow, after suffering an attack, immediately launched one against the Wave Rider.

Although Dong Tianyu's attention was focused underwater at the time, he didn't pay much heed to the belly-up creatures on the water's surface, not once considering the presence of a larger entity beneath the waves.

Zachary, who had flown into the air, reacted very swiftly. To prevent further attacks, he instantly stored the Wave Rider into the Storage space, then floated mid-air on his Flying Swords.

Whatever reaction the underwater creature had to Dong Tianyu's action was unknown to him, but members of the Basin Chicken clan on a large ship nearby were visibly terrified when they saw the Wave Rider, after being struck by a marine creature, fly into the air and then vanish instantly.

They had no idea that the Wave Rider had been stored in Dong Tianyu's Cave; they assumed that the Wave Rider had exploded mid-air after being hit by the underwater monster.

After all, compared to the secluded ones, they not only were unaware of the Storage Equipment revealed by Rabbit's Home, but they also had no clue that devouring a Mysterious Core could grant a Companion Spiritual Treasure.

It is known that aside from Rabbit's Home, there are no communication satellites belonging to other Zoo clans on Blue Star.

The reason Winston is called so is not only because Winston is from The Victorious Nation but also because it controls the global positioning communication system.

There was a joke that when other Zoo families waged war against the Winston Family, and just as the conflict began, Winston collectively shut down their satellite services to outsiders.

During that war, hardly any animals from other national Zoos managed to make their way to Winston's Zoo.

A Tribal Alliance is called an alliance because Winston requires a peaceful place to resolve issues. Should any family within Winston leave the alliance, it signifies they're either about to flip the table or intend to establish a new tribe.

Before the disaster, when Winston's other families launched satellites into space, they generally did so with the aid of other Zoos, except for Rabbit's Home, which managed to launch its own satellites despite heavy blockades from other animal Zoos.

Even the former Big Brother has now disintegrated into Big Hair and Second Hair, making it nearly impossible for them to construct and launch satellites independently anymore.

Even the pre-disaster promoted Starlink, when examined closely, is found to be far behind the satellites previously launched by the Winston Family, making a complete replacement of those incredibly unlikely.

So when the calamity struck and Blue Star expanded, devouring the satellites that previously orbited it, only Rabbit's Home, with its complete industrial chain, managed to send various satellites back into space during the quiescent period of the natural disaster.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the crew who chose to focus on cultivation after the Noble Clans Leader's decision to cut off external contact is unaware of other developments.

Just like everyone now knows at Rabbit's Home that surrounding the big ships with Companion Spiritual Treasures is a must to fend off attacks from marine creatures.

When Basin Chicken encounters attacks from underwater creatures, they typically opt to sacrifice a few individuals, pushing them into the water to distract the marine creatures, allowing the rest to escape by ship.

Under normal circumstances, they understand that dumping bodies into the water attracts marine life. The reason the Basin Chicken crew does this is because they plan to quickly depart after clearing the deck of bodies, so they don't worry about being attacked by any attracted creatures.

What they don't know is that the blood that spilled onto the deck during the recent battle has already drawn these underwater creatures, which just so happened to be dispersed by the Companion Spiritual Treasures carried by the New Faction members who arrived on the big ship.

Actually, it wasn't a coincidence, as the New Faction members with Companion Spiritual Treasures knew very well about their ability to disperse marine life.

Convinced of their imminent victory in the battle, they intentionally encircled themselves with Companion Spiritual Treasures, aiming to prevent blood from attracting marine creatures post-victory, which could potentially damage their large ship.

After all, compared to large ships, although Companion Spiritual Treasures have various advantages, when it comes to comfort alone, those big ships built before the disaster are indeed very comfortable to live in.

Therefore, after the battle ended this time, they did not plan to scuttle this large ship as they had before, but decided to keep it.

What they did not expect was that in this encounter with the Old Faction forces, without the possibility of a surprise attack, they would suffer such an utter defeat.

This goes to show how coincidental their victory over the Old Faction members had been that time.

The crew on the ship did not realize that when they pushed the bodies into the water and cleaned the deck, the absence of marine creatures approaching was not due to the bodies and blood failing to attract them, but was caused by the dispersing properties of the Companion Spiritual Treasure, which kept the marine creatures at bay.

If it weren't for those Companion Spiritual Treasures belonging to the New Faction members floating around the large ship below them, they would have already been attacked by marine creatures by now.

Nor did they know that this time, not only did they dodge an attack from marine life, but they also had Dong Tianyu, that unlucky fellow, help them detect an unknown creature approaching in advance.

Floating above on his Flying Swords, Dong Tianyu, who was looking down at the sea, noticed the green light emanating from beneath the water waves.

Observing the expanse of green light moving towards the Basin Chicken area, Dong Tianyu initially thought it was a Mysterious Ship underwater, but when he used his Divine Sense to investigate, he found that the glowing entity emitting the green light was, in fact, a huge sea creature.

If those creatures electrocuted by the Wave Rider around it could be likened to sardines, then the large creature emitting green light now was like an adult blue whale.

Seeing the large figure swimming towards the big ship near Basin Chicken's home, Dong Tianyu had no intention of alerting the other party.

Although the creature glowing green underwater should be a mutated species, the Cave did not react when Dong Tianyu looked at it.

Just as when Dong Tianyu first encountered the merfolk, this indicated that the large creature was not the target he was searching for, even if he killed it and brought it into the Cave.

Although his Cave would gain some progress from disassembling it, such an increase was negligible, so at this time, Dong Tianyu didn't bother with such an unrewarding task.

Thus, Dong Tianyu watched with mild interest from the air to see what this large underwater creature would do when it approached the ship.

As the large entity emitting green light neared the Basin Chicken family's large ship, Dong Tianyu saw the originally enthusiastic and vigilant crew members on board.

As the green monstrosity underwater drew closer, their faces began to show expressions of agony, and not only that, the bodies of those standing on the deck seemed to have issues as well.

As the creature continued to approach, the crew members could no longer maintain their standing position and collapsed on the deck one after another, with a few unlucky ones, due to where they stood, tumbling over the railing and falling into the water as their bodies went limp.

Witnessing the crew on the Basin Chicken's large ship exhibit symptoms like poisoning, Dong Tianyu recalled his memories from when he ascended on the Wave Rider and did not feel anything similar happening to his body.

Was it because his physical constitution was strong, with high resistance to toxins, or because the creature underwater did not release that kind of toxin when actively attacking?

While still pondering why he didn't feel anything unusual, Dong Tianyu suddenly saw something that shocked him.
