Cave Refuge

At this moment, watching only Leonard and his Special Team members gradually approaching his position, the remaining teams, for some reason, all tacitly had no intention of returning. They either broke down the already dead giant mosquitoes or those teams who had not yet taken action were actively contacting the teams that captured giant mosquitoes to trade.

Even though he had confirmed that no one else was nearing, Dong Tianyu did not stand alone in the middle of the road like those characters in movies and TV shows. Instead, he waited for Leonard and his team to get closer and then used the Art of Controlling Objects to stealthily attack Leonard and the members of the Special Team with Flying Needles.

This time, the Flying Needles Dong Tianyu used were not simple embroidery needles randomly found in the Storage space, as he had used in the past. After several experiences where even though he had successfully ambushed his enemies yet failed to kill them because the needles could not penetrate their defenses,

Dong Tianyu used his rudimentary Artifact Refining skills to spend a large amount of metal continuously fusing and refining it, eventually producing ninety-nine specialized Flying Needles. These Flying Needles did not possess any extraordinary Special Abilities, but were specifically enhanced with durability, Armor-piercing, and Break Magic properties.

To ensure a one-hit kill, Dong Tianyu allocated five Flying Needles to each person, targeting the eyes, glabella, and heart, twice to the chest.

When the Flying Needles returned to Dong Tianyu's side, they slightly trembled midair, and any liquid adhering to them instantly turned into a mist of blood. Then, with a casual gesture, Dong Tianyu promptly collected them back into his Storage space.

At this time, Leonard and the members of the Special Team who were running on the road all seemed to stumble forward as if they had stepped into thin air and tumbled forward.

As an exemplary citizen, Dong Tianyu, of course, could not stand by and watch them injure themselves in front of him. So, before they fell, with a quick movement, he collected the people about to fall straight into his Cave.

After scanning the surroundings with Spiritual Sense Scanning and confirming that no one else was nearing, he did not bother to disguise anything and directly returned to the city by Sword Flight.

On this solo return by air, Dong Tianyu did not queue up at the city gate as usual but flew directly over the city wall into the city.

The guards on the city wall saw Dong Tianyu flying through the air. Just as one of them was about to raise his gun to shoot a warning, his teammate next to him saw the action and immediately grabbed his arm, then whispered urgently, "Do you have a death wish!"

Hearing his teammate's reminder, that guard instantly understood the meaning and was about to say something, as his duty was being violated. But then the teammate who had been holding him immediately let go and spoke, "Alright, I know what you're going to say, but the person has already gone in," and then the teammate returned to his original position.

Many people in the base saw Dong Tianyu's figure as he left and returned without using Techniques to hide himself, but the vast majority did not pay any attention to Dong Tianyu flying through the air.

Because nowadays, whether it be Martial Artists who have reached the Path Entry Realm or Awakeners who have survived by various means, many among them not only possess Floating Ability but several also have the ability to fly through the air freely like Dong Tianyu.

However, if it's not an emergency, most people in the base wouldn't casually display their flying ability, as using it in the wilderness is for fast travel or to avoid danger. But its usage inside the base would definitely attract the attention of some.

Those on the ground looking up at them flying wouldn't feel scared but would rather scrutinize them with a curious gaze as if watching monkeys in a Zoo. And they couldn't just slaughter those on the ground gazing at them, so instead of being treated as animals, they'd rather stay grounded.

After all, they can fly; it's just that without particularly urgent matters, they would not actively fly around.

When Dong Tianyu returned to the newly purchased house, Evan was still communicating with Mr. Thompson and Mrs. Thompson about home renovations. Seeing Dong Tianyu re-enter through the window, and since guests were present, Mr. Thompson did not voice any questions.

Although Evan was curious about how Dong Tianyu managed to reach the twelfth-floor window, as the host did not bring it up, he, being an outsider, did not feel it appropriate to ask and thus had to suppress his curiosity.

Fortunately, after long discussions, a rough plan for the renovations was more or less settled. After calculating the required renovation costs,

Dong Tianyu, having paid the house purchase amount, still had some funds left in his account. It wasn't enough to cover all the renovation expenses, but it was more than enough for the deposit, so he decisively paid it. After all, the windows for both his apartments needed to be fitted first no matter what.

After paying the deposit, Dong Tianyu assumed Evan would need to go back and find people, expecting the window installation to commence on the day after tomorrow or later.
