Chapter 724: Chapter 483: Cat and Mouse Game
Before his transformation, Dong Tianyu had already tested that upon entering this Mysterious Realm, neither his Cultivation Level nor the items he carried were affected, they could all be used normally.
At this moment, the people coming over were holding devices resembling locators, an act which was obviously cheating against the game rules.
Unfortunately, in this ’game,’ cheating not only met no obstacles but could also be sustained for a longer time.
Once the line of people arrived here and saw the densely packed chicks in the chicken coop, some felt a tingling on their scalp, and one of them spoke, "Boss, we only have five Shock Bombs each. There are so many chickens, which one should we target?"
Hearing his subordinate’s question, the leader turned around, smacked the underling on the head, and then with an exasperated tone said to the subordinates behind him, "Are you idiots? Didn’t the introduction only say that the Shock Bomb can break the hider’s camouflage shell? It never said that we can’t use other methods to flush out those people.
Watch closely and learn, see how I show you a thing or two."
After finishing his words, he went to another side of the warehouse piled with hay, pointed at the hay, and instructed the henchmen standing by, "Throw this hay into the chicken coop.
Those hiders think that by hiding in the chicken coop they won’t be discovered by us.
Hmph, such naive thoughts. Let me teach you why I can be the boss, and you can only be henchmen."
As the hay in the warehouse was thrown into the chicken coop, Dong Tianyu immediately understood what those people were planning. Just as Dong Tianyu was anxiously considering how to handle the situation, a match was suddenly tossed into the pile of hay.
Whether or not they had doused the hay with gasoline was unknown, but the moment the match fell into it, fierce flames shot up more than half a meter high.
The chickens near the outer periphery of the coop were scared stiff on the spot, but the heat wave caused by the burning flames quickly woke them up.
At that moment, Dong Tianyu finally witnessed the literal meaning of "chickens flying and dogs jumping."
However, as a semi-enclosed chicken coop rebuilt from an old warehouse, the only exit was the main door guarded by those people, and the other end of the coop was a solid wall.
The flames spread through the hay, inching closer to the interior of the coop, and the roosters and hens huddled in the corner, trembling.
Seeing the flames nearing, Dong Tianyu instinctively used the Sweet Dew Technique on himself. To his surprise, even though he had taken on the form of a chicken, he was still able to use spells.
With the Sweet Dew Technique applied, the heat wave caused by the flames did not affect Dong Tianyu at all.
But even though Dong Tianyu was immune to the scorching heat, as the fire approached, he would eventually be exposed.
Just as Dong Tianyu racked his brains for a solution, suddenly, a group of people rushed out of the estate, flustered.
When these people saw a group of strangers standing at the entrance of the chicken coop, they immediately returned inside the estate. After a short while, when they reappeared, they were all carrying various types of weapons.
When gunfire sounds inexplicably came from outside the chicken coop, Dong Tianyu used his Divine Sense again to peer through the flames and observe the situation outside.
Although the intruders were strong, another group that came from the estate were all armed with firearms, and if they were injured, they would immediately go back inside. After a while, they re-emerged as lively as ever.
The gunfight lasted for a long time; when the external intruders were completely eliminated, and the estate guards dragged the enemy’s bodies back inside, the half-hour transformation time had ended.
By then, Dong Tianyu, who had been hiding in the chicken coop, had returned to his human form.
While Dong Tianyu was transformed, his Spirit Power was not completely unusable, but it was suppressed to the limit, so to say a mere fraction remained would not be an exaggeration.
Perhaps this was the rule within this Mysterious Realm; after all, the hiders shouldn’t have the strength to counter-kill the seekers, otherwise the game would lose its fun. A strong person, whether on the seeking or hiding side, would be invincible.
After checking that his Cultivation Level had returned to normal, Dong Tianyu suddenly discovered that the chicken coop, previously scorched by flames, had reverted to its original state.
The chicken coop at this moment showed no sign of ever having been burned, including the hay that should have been incinerated, now appearing again in the corner of the warehouse without any trace of usage.
’It seems like a role reversal resets the Secret Realm once.’ As Dong Tianyu was observing his surroundings, he suddenly felt the scenery before his eyes change instantaneously.
One second he was standing in the estate’s chicken coop, the next, he found himself on a square.
Then, the hubbub of discussion suddenly entered his ears. As Dong Tianyu looked around, he realized that the other people on the square, like himself, had chosen to hide in the first round and had now, after the role swap, become the seekers.
Although Dong Tianyu didn’t join the discussions of the people around him, they didn’t deliberately lower their voices either, so as he moved among them, Dong Tianyu still heard plenty of useful information.
