Chapter 691 Awakened
The Water Spirit Dragon began to dive at a fast speed, and the surroundings became colder.
The bone-chilling cold made everyone feel uncomfortable.
“It’s too cold here. If this continues, we’ll be frozen into ice sculptures!” Xu Yuan shouted. The ice crystals rushing by were hurting him as they hit his body.
Hearing this, Lu Yu turned around to look at Yun Zirou and found her shivering, curled up in the cold.
He quickly stretched out his hands and turned them into his Fire Dragon Claws.
Whoom!
The next moment, a firestorm was released and enveloped everyone!
The swirling flames around them warded off the cold, making Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou feel much more comfortable.
The surrounding cold was nothing to Lu Yu, as his physical fitness was exceptionally strong.
However, it was getting unbearable for Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou.
After reaching a certain distance, the Water Spirit Dragon began to slow down and descend.
Swoosh!
The cold wind swooshed as Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou jumped from the Water Spirit Dragon’s back.
They landed on a huge stone pillar platform connected to a corridor, and the corridor led to a door embedded in the mountain.
After Lu Yu and the other three came down from the back of the Water Spirit Dragon, he kept his dragon back in the Water Spirit Pearl.
Keeping the Water Spirit Pearl well, Lu Yu started to walk along the corridor.
“This corridor looks very old. It must have been built a long time ago, right?” Lu Yu looked at Xu Lin and asked.
“That’s right, it has a long history, but it was abandoned after the environment here got extreme.”
“Your friend will be inside once you open the door.”
Lu Yu looked at the door. It seemed extraordinarily heavy, and not anyone could open it.
“Can you open it?”
“I’m afraid I can’t do it. The key to this door is not in my hands. It’ll be troublesome to return now to find the key, too.”
“We won’t be able to find the key in a short time, and going back will only be a waste of time.”
Lu Yu knew the key to this place would not be easily found, so he had to destroy it forcefully.
Lu Yu walked forward and looked at the heavy black metal door. He knocked on the door with his finger, noticing the m.u.f.fled sounds it produced.
“It’s sure thick.”
“I’ll try destroying it now.”
Lu Yu switched to his Explosive Dragon Claw. The temperature around the tips of his claws began to surge, which turned the claws bright red.
Before the surrounding snowflakes could even get close to Lu Yu’s claws, they were evaporated into white steam.
Lu Yu swung his claws and slashed at the door.
Clang!
The ear-piercing sound made Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou cover their ears.
Lu Yu was forced to retreat, and his claws began to tremble.
“I can’t break this iron door; I plan to let the Water Spirit Dragon try instead.”
“If it’s the Water Spirit Dragon, it can definitely destroy the door!” Xu Yuan quickly agreed.
“That’s right!” Yun Zirou nodded.
Lu Yu picked up his Water Spirit Pearl and raised it high.
The next moment, the Water Spirit Dragon appeared in the air with a flash of light. It flapped its wings and stayed where it was.
It then suddenly rushed down and slammed into the iron gates.
Boom!
A large hole appeared where the Water Spirit Dragon slammed into the iron gates.
The Water Spirit Dragon adjusted its posture and again charged downward!
Bang!
The iron gates, along with their door frame, were completely dented and knocked to the ground after that.
The gates were finally opened. Lu Yu looked forward and found that it was pitch black inside, with nothing but a cold aura spreading out.
Lu Yu exhaled a breath of white air and looked at Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou. “Let’s go in.”
The other two nodded and followed Lu Yu in.
Xu Lin looked left and right, and he also hurriedly followed in.
The Water Spirit Dragon landed on the ground and lay on the corridor, waiting for Lu Yu to return.
After entering the palace, Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou took out their flashlights and shone them around.
Lu Yu saw ice crystals everywhere. The walls, furniture, and ceiling were all covered in thick ice.
In the surrounding corners of the room, some crystal-like ice crystals formed.
“Where is she?”
Lu Yu turned back to look at Xu Lin and demanded.
“We left in a hurry after throwing her here. We had no idea what happened after that!”
Xu Lin’s entire body trembled as he spoke; it was unknown whether it was because of the cold or fear.
“Han Xuefei, we’re here to find you. I’m Lu Yu. If you’re still here, please come over.”
A chill enveloped everyone, making them feel like they had fallen into an ice cave.
“Xuefei, it’s me, Zirou. We’ve come to find you, and we know what you’ve been through. Don’t worry; we will take revenge for you.”
Yun Zirou said softly.
Whoosh!
Bright flames appeared on Lu Yu’s claws, illuminating their surroundings.
However, the flames on Lu Yu’s claws struggled to stay lit under the low temperature.
“We can’t stay here for long. Let’s do a simple search and then leave.” Xu Yuan looked at Lu Yu and stated.
“Or maybe, I can stay and look for her here. This palace isn’t that big, and there seem to be just a few rooms in front. I’ll go take a look.”
“Let’s not. I think this place is a little dangerous…” Xu Yuan pulled on Lu Yu’s arm.
“I won’t go back if I can’t find Han Xuefei. I want to see her, dead or alive!”
Lu Yu spoke firmly.
Xu Yuan gulped. “Let’s hurry, then.”
He raised his flashlight and quickly shone it around.
Suddenly, an icy-cold voice sounded.
“Lu Yu… is that you?”
The voice surprised Lu Yu. “It’s me, and I’m here to find you. Where are you?”
At this moment, Xu Yuan pointed the flashlight at a chair and asked, “She’s there.”
Lu Yu looked over and was surprised to see a dark blue throne. In front of the throne, a red carpet was laid out in front of Lu Yu.
Han Xuefei was sitting on the throne.
However, to Lu Yu’s surprise, Han Xuefei’s entire body was covered in ice crystals!
Lu Yu rubbed his eyes. When he looked again, he realized that Han Xuefei only had one part of her body, and it was her eye; the rest of her had turned into ice!
“Han Xuefei, I’m here to bring you back. I’ll kill the people who framed your parents!”
At that moment, Han Xuefei slowly stood up. “A month ago, I ate all the food and fell into a deep sleep until you woke me up.”
Lu Yu and the other two were stunned by her words. As for Xu Lin, he was so frightened that he was trembling with fear.
I thought I would never see you again …
“The first thing we did after coming out was to look for you. I have tamed the Water Spirit Dragon.”
“Is that so? That’s great.” Han Xuefei muttered coldly, without any emotion in her voice.
“Now, let’s leave this place. We still have things to do.”
“No, I want to stay here…”
