Chapter 680 Initial Contact
After returning to the villa, Long Xue’er returned to her room to shower while Han Xuefei and Yun Zirou prepared dinner.
Lu Yu was resting on the sofa.
Although this villa was modernized, many things differed from the Freedom Federation.
!!
Although there was a television, there was no signal. The house had many electrical appliances, but it was difficult to supply electricity.
Lu Yu felt like he was living in a primitive world. He had nothing and couldn’t use any technology.
“It’s going to be a little uncomfortable to live here for a few months…”
Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “We don’t have a choice. We can leave this place earlier if you can quickly tame the Water Spirit Dragon.”
“That’s right. However, it’s not easy to tame an ancient dragon; we just have to bear with it…”
Lu Yu wasn’t too confident that he could tame the dragon quickly.
“However, you all don’t have to accompany me. I will be racing against time to tame the dragon, but you don’t have to. You can go back if you want to.”
Xu Yuan shrugged. “I have nothing to do when I return other than continue being a doctor. It’d be better if I stayed here and accompanied you to tame the Water Spirit Dragon. After all, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be able to see the true appearance of an ancient dragon with my own eyes.”
“I want to go back to Ixdale to visit my family,” Han Xuefei said. “I might not be here for long.”
Han Xuefei turned around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Yun Zirou was still busy in the kitchen.
“No problem. It’s good to return to visit more of your family…”
“So, those who can stay here with me, Xu Yuan, Xu Mo, and Yun Zirou. The three of you are enough.”
Xu Mo raised his right hand silently. “I might have to go back for a mission. Now that I’m sure you’re safe and sound, I don’t need to stay here any longer.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “I didn’t expect you to be a workaholic, but sure. You are free to return to your missions.”
Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou. They were the only ones who could stay in this valley with him.
After all, the two no longer had any family, and they only had Lu Yu as their friend…
At that moment, Yun Zirou walked out with food and placed it on the table with a smile.
Long Xue’er had also finished her bath; they sat in a circle and began eating.
The door was pushed open at that moment, and Long Jue walked in.
“Lu Yu, I’ve found the Water Spirit Dragon. It’s in the northwest of the forest, about 3 kilometers away, and resting by a small stream.”
“You’re pretty efficient.”
“Of course. After all, almost everyone is out looking for it. Moreover, the Water Spirit Dragon is gigantic, so it’s hard not to find it.”
As Long Jue spoke, he sat at the dining table, and they began eating dinner together.
“After this meal, I’ll move back to my old residence. You guys can stay here and have a good rest.”
Long Jue commented while eating.
“I want to stay here and live with Lu Yu and the rest!” Long Xue’er immediately chimed in.
Long Jue chided, “Xue’er, don’t be so willful. They’ll be here for only less than a year; stop messing around!”
“I don’t want to. Our people have been waiting for this person for thousands of years. Of course, I have to observe him closely!” Long Xue’er pouted with an unwilling expression.
Just as Long Jue was about to continue scolding Lu Yu, Lu Yu waved his hand and interrupted him.
“Forget it; let her stay here. There are enough rooms, and I’m sure moving around is troublesome for her.”
“By the way, it shouldn’t be as exaggerated as you said, right? Did your people really wait for me for thousands of years?”
Long Jue explained with a firm expression, “According to the records, it is predicted that someone will come to wake up the sleeping dragons in the future. When that person comes, it means the outside world has plunged into chaos, and we need a force to balance the world.”
“That person, we call him the emissary. He will come here to wake up the giant dragons.”
“Now, you’re finally here.”
Lu Yu sighed, “Was this fated all along? Are these dragons especially here to deal with some crises?”
He had just discovered the Ember Empire’s awakening, and here he was, coming to the ancient dragon tomb to awaken the dragons. Would it mean he was meant to fight against the Ember Empire?
After all, the history of both forces could be traced back to a long time ago…
After dinner, the group dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest.
As for Lu Yu, he walked out of the villa and along the city streets, heading outside.
He left the city and headed in the direction given by the scouts.
The night was dark. Lu Yu turned his arms into his Light Dragon Claws, illuminating his surroundings.
After it was purified, the Light Dragon Claw seemed to shine brighter than before, and it could completely illuminate the surroundings.
When they arrived at the city gate, the guards bowed respectfully when they saw Lu Yu’s figure.
“Greetings, Mr. Lu Yu!”
The guard’s respectful att.i.tude made Lu Yu a little uncomfortable. Regardless, he walked out of the city gates and into the forest.
Walking in the giant forest gave Lu Yu the illusion that he was walking in a bustling city center. However, the high-rise buildings were replaced with dense, towering trees.
After walking for some time, Lu Yu started to hear water flowing.
As he continued forward, he saw a small stream. There was an open s.p.a.ce next to the stream and something as big as a hill.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Yu recognized that the Water Spirit Dragon was curled up and sleeping.
He carefully approached the side of the Water Spirit Dragon.
The Water Spirit Dragon curled up its body, with its vast wings covering most of it and only exposing its head.
Looking at the colossal beast before him, Lu Yu was awed. This was several times bigger than a transport plane!
If this huge beast flew above a city, it could drown the entire city instantly!
It was said that every giant dragon possessed extreme destructive power. It was easy for them to destroy a city, and taming such a beast would increase Lu Yu’s strength explosively!
Lu Yu began to approach the Water Spirit Dragon. Seeing that the Water Spirit Dragon did not respond, Lu Yu laid beside it and started sleeping.
It was definitely not a wise move to wake it up now. If even humans had a hard time getting abruptly awakened, so did dragons.
Lu Yu chose to sleep next to it, trying to create an environment where they could be in intimate contact.
The Water Spirit Dragon’s skin was unique, different from the other dragons. It had no scales, and its skin was like a whale’s. It was cold to the touch, but comfortable.
Lu Yu slept against the Water Spirit Dragon. No wild beast would dare to come close with the Water Spirit Dragon by his side.
Very quickly, the second day’s morning arrived, and Lu Yu woke up from his sleep.
He opened his hazy eyes, sat up straight, and rubbed his eyes.
He turned around and saw that the Water Spirit Dragon had already disappeared.
He quickly looked around and saw the Water Spirit Dragon lying by the stream, drinking happily.
