Cave Refuge-Chapter 147 - 146: Reusing the Wave Rider_1

When considering the construction of a new Refuge Center, Dong Tianyu recalled the period of the Cold Catastrophe. He had acquired a ship at Pengville Port and had planned to use it as vital support during the flood. However, not only did it fail to perform its intended role, but it didn’t even have a chance to serve any purpose before the flood had subsided.

Wave Rider (Magic Artifact): It is 60 meters long, 15 meters high, and 10 meters wide, with a draught of 0 meters. It has a maximum speed of 50 knots and is equipped with a Wind Thousand Blades Formation (Attack), Wind Breaking Array (Acceleration), Illusion Shadow Formation (Invisibility), and Water Curtain Formation (Defense).

Compared with other refuges, space inside the Wave Rider is indeed not massive, but it is more than enough for three to five survivors to comfortably live in it.

After all, the elimination of various devices in the Wave Rider, after its transformation into a magic artifact, has greatly increased the utilization of the inner space.

If the flood were still ongoing, the Wave Rider would undoubtedly be an excellent mobile base.

However, facing the current high-temperature weather, the Wave Rider does not have an appropriate solution, as none of the formations etched on the ship’s body can decrease its internal temperature.

Nonetheless, this is not an issue for Dong Tianyu, who has a significant amount of survival points, despite having consumed many of these points to acquire suitable cultivation methods and spells after his last Foundation Building Stage.

However, a considerable amount of time has passed since then, and the arrival of the new catastrophe has once again increased the speed of acquiring survival points, allowing him to obtain six points per day.

If it weren’t for the Wave Rider’s enormous size, etching the temperature regulation array for it wouldn’t cost up to 200 survival points.

Just like the constant temperature robe Dong Tianyu always wore, the constant temperature array etched on the body of the ship could adjust the temperature inside the ship to anywhere from negative to positive three hundred degrees.

Don’t think this range is exaggerating. Compared to the various spirit flames in the cultivation world, this level of temperature could easily be disrupted by other things.

After all, Magic Artifacts in the cultivation world are only slightly superior to ordinary items. It is only the lower level cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm and the Foundation Building Stage who would use them.

However, these kinds of beginner-level items are quite dazzling in the real world. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After Dong Tianyu has spent survival points to add the Four Seasons Array to the ship, the temperature inside the cabin can be adjusted at will. Even though the temperature outside continues to rise, according to his previous life memories, the outside temperature should only reach about one hundred degrees.

Though the surface had become a no-go zone for human beings during that period, whether during daytime or nighttime, some people could still move about the surface wearing special clothing.

The Wave Rider etched with the Four Seasons Array would allow the user to enjoy the cooling effect of the array anywhere on the ship, even if not inside the cabin, but on the deck. For this reason, it is different from the majority of other shelters, which can’t guarantee the ability to safely enjoy the outside scenery.

In addition to the temperature-regulating Four Seasons Array, the Shadow Formation on the ship could give the Wave Rider a limited invisibility. If the Wave Rider stays still, even those close to it could not see it, unless they touch it.

With the Shadow Formation, it doesn’t matter where the Wave Rider is positioned during this drought period. The formation hides it, making it invisible, no matter where it is.

However, with the continuous high temperature, the defensive Water Curtain Formation of the Wave Rider is basically useless, even if it is still activated.

After all, the principle of the Water Curtain Formation is to gather the surrounding moisture, then condense it into a defense barrier that can block attacks. There is nothing wrong with etching this formation onto the ship’s body.

Most ships would stay on water, whether in the sea or a lake, with sufficient water vapor available in these places.

However, in this heat, even though a river connected to Dragon Lake is not far from Nameless Mountain, it is almost dry. Pengcheng has practically become a desert.

Even though we can’t say the air doesn’t contain any water vapor, it’s only with the remaining moisture in the air that the defensive effect of the Water Curtain Formation could reach one percent of its original power.

The Wind Breaking Array suffers the same fate as the Water Curtain Formation. The Array serves to propel the ship and speed up its speed.

Since the riverbed has dried up, the Wind Breaking Array, which was supposed to accelerate the ship, is not much different from not having the array at all.

After introducing so many formations of the ship, finally comes the Thousand Blades Formation with attacking ability.

Although the name sounds impressive, the Thousand Blades Formation indeed emits thousands of wind blades all around the ship when activated.

However, since the Wave Rider is the lowest rank of Magic Artifact, the actual damage caused by the wind blade is rather limited. Each wind blade attack is comparable to a single shot from a rifle.

For ordinary people, its lethality is considerable, but for lower-level cultivators, slight carelessness can still lead to life-threatening danger.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu didn’t know that the fact that he cave mansion was on Nameless Mountain was no longer a secret at the West City District Headquarters.

However, after some thought, Dong Tianyu decided to position the Wave Rider on the old site of the village at the foot of the mountain.

Originally, the buildings in the village at the foot of the mountain, although they had endured the period of the Cold Catastrophe, were mostly destroyed after the flood.

When the flood water receded, some villagers who originally lived here wanted to return home, but they decisively went back to the resettlement points set up by officials after seeing the ruined state of the village. The village at the foot of the mountain was essentially abandoned by the original villagers.

With a great ’clanking’ sound, the Wave Rider descended from mid-air and heavily smashed on the ground.

Dong Tianyu did this intentionally. Although the intense heat scorched the earth, the ground was not firm.

Dong Tianyu used the Wave Rider as a hammer to flatten the ground, repeatedly taking it in and out of the Shadow Space to achieve this.

To outsiders, it appeared as though Dong Tianyu didn’t cherish the Wave Rider, and it was indeed the case.

Not to mention that if the Wave Rider got damaged, Dong Tianyu could use survival points to repair it, but the Wave Rider, even as the lowest rank of Magic Artifact, wouldn’t break no matter how many times it was used to hammer the ground.

Do you still remember how Dong Tianyu found out about that cave on Nameless Mountain?

After leveling the ground, Dong Tianyu placed the Wave Rider next to where he and his friends previously had a pool near the mountain.

After positioning the Wave Rider next to the mountain, he turned on the Shadow Formation. The Wave Rider’s body was instantly enveloped by a transparent veil, which gradually became transparent until it disappeared from Dong Tianyu’s sight.

However, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu immediately located the Wave Rider that disappeared from his field of vision.
