Chapter 668 Hidden Dragon Ancient City
Long Xue’er came to a sudden realization after Lu Yu introduced himself as someone from the military.
“I see. It’s been a long time since anyone came from the military. To be honest, I miss you guys sometimes.”
“Why did they kidnap you?” Lu Yu asked curiously.
Long Xue’er stood up with incredible difficulty. She looked at Lu Yu and replied, “I don’t know either. They’re from the seal faction. They refused to let those giant dragons revive even if they risked their lives, but we know that these giant dragons must be resurrected. This is an unstoppable future!”
“Why are you so sure about the dragons’ revival?”
“Because the emissary will definitely come to awaken the dragons.”
Lu Yu and the others looked at each other. They all knew the emissary Long Xue’er was referring to was Lu Yu himself.
However, she did not seem to recognize that Lu Yu was the so-called emissary.
Lu Yu quickly realized that they only recognized him through his features after he revealed his dragon arm.
In other words, as long as Lu Yu did not participate in the battle, his identity would not be discovered.
“You seem to be from the revival faction. You are waiting for the emissary to come while the other faction is afraid of that, right?”
Long Xue’er nodded. “That’s right. If the emissary were to enter this place, they would definitely kill him, even if it meant risking their lives!”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “They won’t get what they want. However, I heard from their people that it would cause terrible world destruction after the dragons’ revival. Is it true?”
“It’s only a possibility. After all, the giant dragons of ancient times were terrifyingly mighty. It would be easy for a dragon to destroy a city.”
Lu Yu paused momentarily, realizing that the dragons’ revival was not necessarily good.
However, what if he could tame a dragon? After all, if that fellow named Walter could tame a dragon, would he, who had the bloodline of the dragon god, be able to?
They only knew Lu Yu was the emissary but did not know his bloodline.
Moreover, none of them had experienced a world of dragons, and they only guessed that they would destroy the world. They still had such a huge disagreement even when none of them had experienced what it was like living with dragons.
“I’ll send you back first. Can you let us understand the situation while we’re at it?”
The girl’s expression got a little complicated. “By right, you outsiders are not allowed to enter our world. However, you saved me, and I don’t know how to get back, so…”
“I need your help.”
Lu Yu was stunned. “You don’t know how to go back?”
“No, we don’t have any teleportation scrolls here. We can only walk back. However, I can’t find my way back as I only know the general direction.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “Alright then. You lead the way, and we’ll follow.”
“Alright, we live in a huge, ancient-looking city called the Hidden Dragon Ancient City. It’s between three mountains, and close to 500,000 people are living there.”
Lu Yu’s eyes widened slightly as he realized there were hundreds of thousands of people living here!
“Do you guys have this information?” Lu Yu asked, looking at Xu Mo.
“No, we never knew how many people they had.”
“In other words, you’ve never entered their ancient city? Then what have you guys been studying?”
“Uh… weren’t dragon corpses everywhere? We were just studying these…”
Lu Yu was speechless. “It seems that the last batch of people who entered the ancient city should be my parents…”
Lu Yu heaved a long sigh and looked at Long Xue’er. “Lead the way. We will follow you and protect you.”
“By the way, if you follow me into the ancient city, you can’t come out again. The secret of our ancient city can’t be spread out, or the people outside will go crazy!”
Hearing this, Lu Yu and the others looked at each other in surprise.
“What do you mean? We can’t come out after we go with you?”
“Of course,” Long Xue’er said as he turned around and smiled at Lu Yu. “Otherwise, how could we keep our secret? One point of our secrecy is because of our special location, and the other is that those who have seen the ancient city must join us; otherwise, we would have been exposed long ago.”
“What about the village outside?”
“That… they were all born in the ancient city and had received an education, so they won’t casually sell the secrets of the ancient city unless they are threatened with death.”
Lu Yu couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t expect that he would be able to force out some information from the first person he met.
As expected, the military should not have negotiated peacefully with this group of people. It was simpler and more convenient to threaten them directly with force.
“Besides, it’s not a bad thing to let you join us. I can talk to my dad and let you be his son-in-law. You won’t lose out this way, right?” Long Xue’er turned around and gave Lu Yu an ambiguous smile.
Lu Yu was stunned momentarily as he didn’t expect Long Xue’er to say such words. Wasn’t this a bold proposal?
If he became her father’s son-in-law, didn’t that mean he would have to marry her?
However, before Lu Yu could react, Han Xuefei and Yun Zirou, standing next to him, had their faces turned black and stared at Long Xue’er with cold eyes.
Long Xue’er suddenly felt a chill on her back. She hastily waved her hand and said, “I’m just joking. Don’t take it seriously. It’s just a joke…”
She smiled awkwardly.
“You lead the way. We’re just here to visit your ancient city. You can’t decide whether we stay or leave.”
Long Xue’er shrugged her shoulders. “I’ve told you the rules of the ancient city. The rules are set by the strong, and the strong will also carry them out.”
Whoever is stronger would be the ruler, especially in this place.
If Lu Yu stayed lost in the ancient dragon tomb for too long, the military wouldn’t stay still and would enter here on a large scale to search for him.
After all, Lu Yu’s identity was important. Therefore, in Lu Yu’s opinion, he didn’t need to follow the rules of the ancient city and stay there obediently.
They started to walk up the difficult, uphill road further up. They worked hard to climb up and were not in the mood to chat.
Long Xue’er, who had almost died, didn’t seem to be too timid, nor did she have much vigilance against Lu Yu and the others.
She continued to lead the way, leaving her back facing Lu Yu and the rest.
After walking forward for nearly half an hour, Lu Yu realized that the number of dead trees around him had decreased significantly. They were starting to show signs of life. There were more trees, and the leaves were beginning to turn green.
In the surrounding forest, the figures of small animals could also be vaguely seen.
Finally, Lu Yu and the others climbed to the top of a hill. Standing there, they could see into the distance.
“Our city is in that giant forest. There are many camps around it, all of which are our people.”
Lu Yu looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a group of towering, giant trees standing.
Those trees were at least 100 meters tall, and any ordinary city wall would look minuscule compared to these massive trees.
If one were to stand here and look over, one would not notice that there was an ancient city there, nor would one see people living there.
Lu Yu’s heart started to beat faster. He seemed to be able to sense that there was an actual ancient dragon’s tomb here. A sleeping dragon was right here in this forest!
