504 Chapter 504 A Strange Prey
Chapter 504 A Strange Prey
Yun Zirou stood up and walked into the forest to start hunting.
“Be careful,” Lu Yu warned. “It’s a little dark outside now. Be careful of being attacked.”
“I know. Don’t worry; I’ll be fine.”
Yun Zirou replied and walked into the forest.
Lu Yu didn’t say much as he watched her disappear. Yun Zirou was a girl with a strong personality. She wouldn’t be willing if Lu Yu forced her to stay in the camp.
“Let’s look at the direction again.”
Lu Yu took out the guiding crystal and placed it on his palm, letting it spin.
Very quickly, the crystal pointed in a direction. Lu Yu nodded slightly and remembered it.
He picked up the crystal and looked at it carefully.
This crystal was slightly different than before; its purple light became brighter.
“Is it because it’s dark?”
Lu Yu felt it might be because the sky was dark, making the light inside brighter.
However, even if he placed the crystal next to the fire, its light would still be brighter than before.
Lu Yu quickly determined that this light was most likely a hint. The closer Lu Yu was to the energy source, the brighter the light would be!
In other words, Lu Yu was already close to the energy source of Claine Crystal.
“It seems like we aren’t too far away.”
Although they had only advanced for half a day, the distance they had covered was immense. If this distance were measured within the Freedom Federation, it would be enough to walk from one city to another!
“I’ll just eat something first.”
Lu Yu took out a plate of prepared steak from his pocket watch.
His pocket watch had a magical function that allowed the food to not rot when placed inside. This could not be done in Xu Yuan’s storage ring.
“It’s such a big piece of meat. Why don’t we wait? We can’t let Miss Yun’s efforts go to waste.” Xu Yuan said.
Lu Yu laughed. “w.a.n.g Meng can handle this piece of steak by himself.”
w.a.n.g Meng patted his chest and replied, “Of course, I can eat the meat off the bones easily!”
Xu Yuan shrugged. “I still want to eat the meat from animals in the ancient ruins.”
Lu Yu cut the steak in half and pa.s.sed it to w.a.n.g Meng. The two then placed the steak on a metal rack and started roasting it.
“Miss Yun has been gone for some time. Why hasn’t she returned yet?” Xu Yuan asked. His stomach was already growling. He could have held on a little longer if it wasn’t for w.a.n.g Meng roasting meat here.
“I’m not sure, but with her skills, there shouldn’t be any accidents. Besides, her crowd-control skills are strong enough to escape any troubles.”
“Not only that, but we can also communicate through walkie-talkies. If she really is in danger, she can contact us at once.”
As Lu Yu spoke, he picked up his steak and began biting into it.
“Alright, then, we’ll wait a little longer. I’ll believe in her skills…” Xu Yuan sighed helplessly.
“Why don’t we use the radio to contact her and ask about her situation?” Han Xuefei asked worriedly.
Lu Yu saw her worried face and smiled. “Forget it. What if she’s approaching her prey now? “Won’t we be more of a hindrance if we contact her?”
Han Xuefei nodded helplessly.
The few of them continued to wait around the bonfire. A rustling sound was heard at that time.
“Did you hear that? There seems to be some movement!” Su Qing suddenly raised her head and looked around.
There was a burst of noise around them, and the gra.s.s shook continuously.
The few people sitting around the bonfire couldn’t help but tense up, all ready for battle.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a figure jumped out of the gra.s.s.
Lu Yu and the others looked over and saw Yun Zirou coming out of the bushes.
“d.a.m.n, you scared me to death!” w.a.n.g Meng clutched his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
Yun Zirou shot him a glance and said, “Aren’t you usually very brave? You’re scared of that?”
“Let’s not talk about this. What did you hunt?”
They all stood up and looked at Yun Zirou.
Yun Zirou was holding an animal’s tail in her right hand. On closer inspection, it was a lizard’s tail.
“This lizard looks pretty. It’s golden all over, but it seems to be alive.”
Lu Yu looked at Yun Zirou and asked, “You captured it alive?”
“Hmm, this one isn’t one of our prey. All the prey I’ve hunted for dinner are inside here.”
As she spoke, she twisted her spatial ring. The next moment, the bodies of four exotic birds appeared on the ground.
The four birds looked like pheasants, but much bigger. Their feathers were gorgeous, like rainbows that reflected light.
“Waa! You’ve hunted so many exotic birds; we’re going to have a good time eating them!”
Xu Yuan quickly walked over, picked up a strange bird, and placed it on the rack to roast.
w.a.n.g Meng and the rest brought the remaining three over. After plucking their feathers and removing their internal organs, they roast them over the fire.
“What’s the deal with the lizard in your hand?” Lu Yu asked Yun Zirou.
“I’m not too sure about that. I don’t know this breed of lizard.”
“But I’m sure that this lizard is a pet!”
This immediately made Lu Yu curious, “How… how could it be a pet?”
“You’ll know when you see this!”
She took out a piece of red cloth with exquisite embroidery and some gold edges.
One look at this cloth, and one could tell it was not ordinary. It must be precious.
“Look at this.”
She quickly put the cloth on the lizard’s body.
“Look, this piece of cloth is part of its clothes!”
Yun Zirou stated.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but nod. “From the looks of it, it really does seem like a pet. The lizard can’t possibly have gotten a piece of rag and made a piece of clothing for itself.”
“The most important thing is this!”
She came to Lu Yu’s side and took out a piece of paper.
“There was a sewn pocket on the lizard’s clothes, and I found this in the pocket. There are words written on it.”
In an instant, they all gathered around and stared at the note curiously.
“These words… I can’t understand them…” w.a.n.g Meng’s mouth twitched awkwardly, and he shrugged.
“I don’t know it either, but I’m sure it’s the Lionheart Empire’s language.” Han Xuefei said it with certainty.
If they didn’t know, Su Qing didn’t either.
Lu Yu had no choice but to open his Eye of the Dragon G.o.d and read the note.
Soon, the meaning of the words appeared before him in his Eye of the Dragon G.o.d.
“People are hunting our countrymen in the mines in the north. Your Highness Elizabeth, please inform everyone not to approach the northern snow mountains alone!”
Lu Yu pondered for a moment; then, he saw a bloodstain at the corner of the note.
“Someone from the Lionheart Empire wrote this before they died. It’s a warning to them.”
