504 Chapter 504 A Strange Prey
Chapter 504 A Strange Prey
Yun Zirou stood up and walked into the forest to start hunting.
...
âBe careful,â Lu Yu warned. âItâs a little dark outside now. Be careful of being attacked.â
âI know. Donât worry; Iâll be fine.â
Yun Zirou replied and walked into the forest.
Lu Yu didnât say much as he watched her disappear. Yun Zirou was a girl with a strong personality. She wouldnât be willing if Lu Yu forced her to stay in the camp.
âLetâs look at the direction again.â
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.
âIs it because itâs dark?â
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.
âIt seems like we arenât too far away.â
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!
âIâll just eat something first.â
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 Yuanâs storage ring.
âItâs such a big piece of meat. Why donât we wait? We canât let Miss Yunâs efforts go to waste.â Xu Yuan said.
Lu Yu laughed. âWang Meng can handle this piece of steak by himself.â
Wang Meng patted his chest and replied, âOf course, I can eat the meat off the bones easily!â
Xu Yuan shrugged. âI still want to eat the meat from animals in the ancient ruins.â
Lu Yu cut the steak in half and passed it to Wang Meng. The two then placed the steak on a metal rack and started roasting it.
âMiss Yun has been gone for some time. Why hasnât she returned yet?â Xu Yuan asked. His stomach was already growling. He could have held on a little longer if it wasnât for Wang Meng roasting meat here.
âIâm not sure, but with her skills, there shouldnât be any accidents. Besides, her crowd-control skills are strong enough to escape any troubles.â
âNot only that, but we can also communicate through walkie-talkies. If she really is in danger, she can contact us at once.â
As Lu Yu spoke, he picked up his steak and began biting into it.
âAlright, then, weâll wait a little longer. Iâll believe in her skillsâŠâ Xu Yuan sighed helplessly.
âWhy donât we use the radio to contact her and ask about her situation?â Han Xuefei asked worriedly.
Lu Yu saw her worried face and smiled. âForget it. What if sheâs approaching her prey now? âWonât we be more of a hindrance if we contact her?â
Han Xuefei nodded helplessly.
The few of them continued to wait around the bonfire. A rustling sound was heard at that time.
âDid you hear that? There seems to be some movement!â Su Qing suddenly raised her head and looked around.
There was a burst of noise around them, and the grass shook continuously.
The few people sitting around the bonfire couldnât help but tense up, all ready for battle.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a figure jumped out of the grass.
Lu Yu and the others looked over and saw Yun Zirou coming out of the bushes.
âDamn, you scared me to death!â Wang Meng clutched his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
Yun Zirou shot him a glance and said, âArenât you usually very brave? Youâre scared of that?â
âLetâs not talk about this. What did you hunt?â
They all stood up and looked at Yun Zirou.
Yun Zirou was holding an animalâs tail in her right hand. On closer inspection, it was a lizardâs tail.
âThis lizard looks pretty. Itâs golden all over, but it seems to be alive.â
Lu Yu looked at Yun Zirou and asked, âYou captured it alive?â
âHmm, this one isnât one of our prey. All the prey Iâve hunted for dinner are inside here.â
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.
âWaa! Youâve hunted so many exotic birds; weâre going to have a good time eating them!â
Xu Yuan quickly walked over, picked up a strange bird, and placed it on the rack to roast.
Wang Meng and the rest brought the remaining three over. After plucking their feathers and removing their internal organs, they roast them over the fire.
âWhatâs the deal with the lizard in your hand?â Lu Yu asked Yun Zirou.
âIâm not too sure about that. I donât know this breed of lizard.â
âBut Iâm sure that this lizard is a pet!â
This immediately made Lu Yu curious, âHow⊠how could it be a pet?â
âYouâll know when you see this!â
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.
âLook at this.â
She quickly put the cloth on the lizardâs body.
âLook, this piece of cloth is part of its clothes!â
Yun Zirou stated.
Lu Yu couldnât help but nod. âFrom the looks of it, it really does seem like a pet. The lizard canât possibly have gotten a piece of rag and made a piece of clothing for itself.â
âThe most important thing is this!â
She came to Lu Yuâs side and took out a piece of paper.
âThere was a sewn pocket on the lizardâs clothes, and I found this in the pocket. There are words written on it.â
In an instant, they all gathered around and stared at the note curiously.
âThese words⊠I canât understand themâŠâ Wang Mengâs mouth twitched awkwardly, and he shrugged.
âI donât know it either, but Iâm sure itâs the Lionheart Empireâs language.â Han Xuefei said it with certainty.
If they didnât know, Su Qing didnât either.
Lu Yu had no choice but to open his Eye of the Dragon God and read the note.
Soon, the meaning of the words appeared before him in his Eye of the Dragon God.
âPeople are hunting our countrymen in the mines in the north. Your Highness Elizabeth, please inform everyone not to approach the northern snow mountains alone!â
Lu Yu pondered for a moment; then, he saw a bloodstain at the corner of the note.
âSomeone from the Lionheart Empire wrote this before they died. Itâs a warning to them.â
