Chapter 681: Chapter 462 Destroy the Ship_2
As the oil drums exploded one after another in the cabin, Dong Tianyu realized that the black mist surrounding the hull was gradually dissipating.
Originally, with the black mist as a barrier around the hull, Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense could only observe the situation on deck, making him feel as if he had been trapped in a sealed space, completely unable to use Divine Sense to observe what was happening outside the ship.
But as the black mist that enveloped the entire hull disappeared, Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense seemed to break through the clouds into daylight, allowing him not only to cover the exterior of the entire ship but also to clearly see the situation on the surrounding waters.
However, perhaps because the ship’s body was quite unique, even after the black mist had dissipated, Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the hull like it would ordinary wood and observe the interior of the ship.
Not long after the black mist covering the hull had vanished, the communicator carried by Dong Tianyu began to vibrate. He casually picked it up and pressed the answer key, only to hear Ye Liuyun’s urgent voice on the other end, "Thank goodness, I finally got through to you.
Are you on that wooden wreck right now? Why didn’t you answer the many calls I made to you earlier? You have no idea how worried we were about you."
Hearing Ye Liuyun’s hurried words, Dong Tianyu felt gratified, not expecting Ye Liuyun to be so concerned about him at this time.
"I wanted to answer your calls, but the plane suddenly developed some kind of malfunction and landed uncontrollably on this ship.
By the way, when this ship appeared, it was covered in black mist. Can you check to see if you can still see the black mist around the hull?"
At Dong Tianyu’s query, Ye Liuyun was momentarily stunned because, whether it was earlier or now, the ship to her eyes was just a dilapidated wooden vessel, with no black mist seen emanating around it.
However, when Ye Liuyun remembered that Dong Tianyu possessed Pupil Skill, which allowed him to see things invisible to the naked eye, she speculated that maybe her lack of Pupil Skill was why she hadn’t seen the black mist.
Ye Liuyun promptly called an Awakener on duty in the lookout tower, then posed the question Dong Tianyu had asked. When the Awakener on the lookout tower issued a statement similar to what Dong Tianyu said,
Ye Liuyun silently swore to herself that she must acquire a Pupil Skill for herself so as not to encounter a situation like today’s in the future; she now strongly realized how difficult it was to be blind while having eyes.
After getting an accurate response from the Awakener in the lookout tower, Ye Liuyun contacted Dong Tianyu again and told him every detail of the answer she had obtained from the Awakener in the tower.
Upon hearing Ye Liuyun’s response, Dong Tianyu also let out a sigh of relief since he had never encountered such a situation before. Frankly, when he had been forced to land on the deck at the beginning, Dong Tianyu was quite panicked.
Initially, Dong Tianyu hadn’t realized that he had entered a place similar to a Formation space, instead feeling as if he had broken into another dimension.
Although both involve space, the first type of sealed space simply retains the trapped person in the original spot. Against such sealing, one just has to find a way to destroy the landscape.
As long as the rate of destruction exceeds the Formation’s autonomous repair capability, no matter how complex the Formation, its essence remains unchanged; by directly destroying the surrounding environment, anyone can easily escape from the Formation.
The situation of Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense being unable to explore outward indeed resembled falling into a closed space.
As Dong Tianyu had surmised, even though he was physically on the ship, the ship had merged with the Formation. Therefore, when Dong Tianyu used the gasoline drums to extensively damage the interior of the cabin earlier, the closed space created by the Formation naturally collapsed as well.
After reconfirming his hypothesis with Ye Liuyun, Dong Tianyu ignored the roaring sounds coming from the cabin and pulled out a big killer from the Storage Space: a cluster bomb.
Under normal circumstances, such a device is usually installed inside a Missile, and the one in Dong Tianyu’s hand was no exception. Its pure white shell was immaculate.
Cluster bombs usually scatter numerous smaller bombs after the explosion, pursuing a greater killing radius.
Facing the cluster bomb that closely resembled a missile, Dong Tianyu didn’t dare to kick it recklessly into the cabin like an oil drum, but used the Art of Controlling Objects to handle the missile’s case and carefully delivered it down the stairs.
However, Divine Sense did not get far into the cabin before it already showed signs of collapsing.
Confronted with this situation, Dong Tianyu promptly detonated the missile. The missile, whose launch button was struck, could only helplessly burrow further into the cabin down the stairs.
Unlike the situation when the gasoline barrel was detonated earlier, after the missile entered the cabin and exploded, it scattered thousands of small bombs that directly covered most areas of the cabin.
As these small bombs exploded simultaneously, the entire ship suddenly jolted, and then cracks appeared in the hull.
The shockwave produced by the explosion of the thousands of small bombs rapidly enlarged those cracks, and as the aftershocks of the blast continued to ravage the cabin, the cracks in the hull eventually could not withstand it and burst open.
As more and more fissures formed in the hull, river water began slowly seeping into the cabin through these openings.
As the water pressure through the cracks grew, causing the cracks to widen continually, Dong Tianyu, who had been monitoring the entire ship with Divine Sense, of course noticed this situation instantly.
Not only Dong Tianyu, Ye Liuyun standing on the deck also saw this situation.
Before Ye Liuyun could make a call, she saw Dong Tianyu, who had just thrown something into the cabin, hurriedly board his own small transport aircraft and quickly left the ship’s deck.
Once Dong Tianyu’s aircraft reached a certain altitude, he immediately sped away from above the ship. Before Dong Tianyu’s aircraft had gone far, billowing smoke started to emerge from all over the ship.
Given this smoke was different from the initial dark fumes from the hull, Ye Liuyun at this moment was eager to find out what exactly Dong Tianyu had done.
Since there were no outsiders in the cockpit, Dong Tianyu didn’t stay in the pilot’s seat, but combined the seats in the cabin to create a large, enclosed super sofa.
While Dong Tianyu was lying leisurely on the sofa, he heard the communicator ring. Without looking, he knew it must be a call from Ye Liuyun. He casually pressed the answer key, and heard an urgent inquiry from Ye Liuyun through the phone:
"Zachary, what exactly did you throw into that ship’s cabin just now? Now smoke is coming out from all sides of that ship, and it looks like it won’t last long before it sinks.
You haven’t explained why you landed on that ship earlier, and can you tell me what exactly you encountered on that ship, what you did there, and finally what you threw into the cabin."
Hearing Ye Liuyun’s barrage of questions, Dong Tianyu didn’t answer them one by one but just gave a very simple ’oh.’
Ye Liuyun, anxious on the other end of the phone, having received only a simple interjection from Dong Tianyu with no intention of answering his questions, pitched his voice in a coaxing tone and asked again, "Zachary, can you tell me what exactly happened on that ship and what you threw into its cabin before you left?"
Hearing such a nauseating voice over the phone, Dong Tianyu was truly repelled by Ye Liuyun and retorted directly, "Act like a person, can’t you speak properly."
