Chapter 669 Changing Period
After entering the dense forest, they walked forward quickly. Looking at the surrounding environment, Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel curious.
“We just crossed a hill, yet the environment has changed so much. It’s really strange.”
Long Xue’er turned to look at Lu Yu and explained, “You haven’t seen the more ridiculous changes in the front.”
“For example, there are two mountains, one of which is a snow mountain and the other a volcano, but they are very close to each other. This is a phenomenon that cannot be seen outside, but it is widespread here.”
Lu Yu understood what she meant and replied, “I see. In other words, if a giant dragon sleeps in that area, the environment will be altered.”
“That’s sure powerful. A giant dragon can change the environment of a mountain, and that’s only when it’s in a sleeping state. How powerful will it be when it awakens?” Xu Yuan exclaimed.
Xu Mo walked to Lu Yu’s side and asked in a low voice, “If you really resurrected the dragons, but the dragons wanted to kill us, what should we do?”
Lu Yu hesitated momentarily as he couldn’t say for sure what the future would be like.
“We know these ancient dragons are naturally violent because of some ancient scriptures. They ignore the sacred nature of life and love to destroy. If what was recorded is true, I’m afraid we cannot defeat them.”
Lu Yu sighed. He had seen the dragon’s strength. If the dragons resurrected, they might not even need to be out for blood, as just their breath could accidentally kill them.
“We’ll just take one step at a time. We’ve already come this far. We can’t just admit defeat and go back.”
Xu Mo nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Yu.
Long Xue’er, who was leading the way, seemed to have noticed that Lu Yu and the others were talking in a low voice. She couldn’t help but slow down and put some distance between them.
“I’m sure you guys don’t want to come with me to the Hidden Dragon Ancient City, but it doesn’t matter. If you really want to leave, we won’t stop you.”
Long Xue’er’s sudden mention of this piqued Lu Yu’s curiosity. “Didn’t you just say that we wouldn’t be able to come out once we entered?”
“That was in the past. There’s not much time left before the dragons revive, so we’ll be exposed sooner or later.”
Hearing her words, Lu Yu panicked. Could it be that she had seen through his identity?
Or did they predict that Lu Yu would come here? If that were the case, Lu Yu would be even more surprised.
It was ridiculous that they could foresee his actions.
“We’re almost there. Our ancient city is right in front of us. We’ve lived there for thousands of years and never left this valley.”
Lu Yu sized up Long Xue’er’s clothes. She was wearing a plain white dress, and he could tell she was wearing cloth shoes. This hidden ancient city’s technology level should be low.
“Do you guys know the level of technology outside?” Lu Yu asked.
Long Xue’er turned around, looked at Lu Yu, and answered calmly, “I’ve asked around, especially from the military that has been here before. I’ve had some interactions and information exchanges with them.”
“Don’t you want to experience a different life outside?”
Long Xue’er raised her head slightly and revealed a look of longing. “I used to want to go out and see the world outside the valley. However, after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. We, the dragon descendants, have a great mission on our shoulders.”
She lowered her head in disappointment and returned to reality.
“We’re almost there, just in front.”
After following her for some distance in the forest, Lu Yu could see some campsites around him.
A few tents were placed opposite each other. A dazzling bonfire was in the middle, and some figures were wandering around the bonfire.
Lu Yu raised his head and saw the trees that shot up into the sky. These trees were frighteningly thick, and some had a width more extensive than the wingspan of more than ten people.
After entering the forest, Long Xue’er continued to lead the way. At the same time, she turned back to look at Lu Yu and said, “Our city is in the forest. There is an open space and a lake where we have lived for generations.”
People around them looked at them with strange expressions as they continued to move forward.
From their clothes, they could tell that Lu Yu and the others were not dragon descendants but outsiders. What puzzled them even more was how outsiders could enter the ancient city?
However, they didn’t meddle in other people’s businesses. After all, the one leading the way was Long Xue’er. She was a very prestigious person in the ancient city.
Walking along the path in the forest, Lu Yu soon saw some buildings. These buildings were densely distributed in the forest.
No walls surrounded the city, which left the buildings scattered in the dense forest. However, it was enormous, about half the size of Cloud City. Houses were densely arranged uniformly, surrounding a vast lake.
“This ancient city is indeed extraordinary.”
“Surrounding the lake, half of it is the territory of the revival faction, and the other half belongs to the seal faction. We usually don’t have any friction between us, but when the dragon revives, it probably won’t be so peaceful anymore.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. Right now, the only goal of these two factions was to protect this place. However, when he came here as an emissary, the two factions had differences and conflicts.
Walking along the road, there was a towering iron gate surrounded by low walls that could prevent wild beasts from entering.
Lu Yu followed Long Xue’er over. When the guards at the door saw her, they all bowed and greeted her respectfully, “Welcome Back, Miss Xue’er!”
Long Xue’er didn’t reply. She just passed through the gate and walked in.
Lu Yu followed her in. There were all kinds of complicated alleys inside, and the houses here were built very closely together.
“I’ll take you to my dad. Whether you stay or leave depends on him. However, I’m still grateful you sent me back.”
Long Xue’er looked at Lu Yu and showed a satisfied smile.
“It’s fine; it’s not a big deal. Let’s go in and take a look.”
Long Xue’er gave Lu Yu a strange look.
Lu Yu didn’t have to send her this deeply into the city. He could have turned around and left when they were outside, and Long Xue’er couldn’t stop him.
“It seems like you want to enter our city. Do you want to know something?”
“Of course, your city is so mysterious. I would love to know more about it.”
“Aren’t you afraid we’ll force you to stay here?”
“I’ll stay here then. I won’t leave until I find out some things.”
Lu Yu answered nonchalantly.
Long Xue’er looked at Lu Yu curiously. “What do you want to know? ”
“This is the ancient dragons’ tomb. Of course, I want to know about these giant dragons.”
Long Xue’er, however, pursed her lips and did not buy it. “This excuse is overused, and everyone that came here has said the same thing. I think that your purpose for coming this time is something special!”
Lu Yu didn’t say much as he didn’t want to expose his identity yet. He was the one who could awaken the ancient dragons, the emissary that this group of dragon descendants had been waiting for!
