Chapter 477 Breaking Through In A Straight Line

Lu Yu's guarantee made Han Xuefei feel much more at ease. She took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yu. "Alright, I'll go with you. Let's kill that bastard together!"

"That's more like it," Lu Yu said with a smile. "I'll help take care of your family's matters."

"And you too..."

Lu Yu looked at Yun Zirou, only to find her laughing at herself.

"Forget about me. I'm guessing that even the higher-ups of the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce don't know about our family business. We're far inferior to the Han family."

Yun Zirou smiled awkwardly. Han Xuefei had the best family background among them, with Yun Zirou coming in second. Both of them were the precious young princesses of their families.

Both were cold to outsiders, but Yun Zirou was more approachable.

After all, when she first met Lu Yu, she did not look down on him just because of her noble status or well-off family.

If Lu Yu had met Han Xuefei instead of Yun Zirou, he would probably have been ignored.

"Alright, let's move on. Now that our strength has been further strengthened, let's head off to our next battle!"

Soon, the undead warriors around him retreated into Lu Yu's spatial pocket watch one by one.

It was as if a supernatural event had happened in the stronghold. Many people fought and were killed a second ago, but it quickly emptied. There wasn't a single person left, and the entire stronghold was abnormally quiet.

When Lu Yu and the rest left the stronghold, it was desolate. It was as if everyone had disappeared into thin air.

Those who returned from hunting would probably tremble in fear upon seeing this.

At that moment, Lu Yu had already led his team to the next stronghold.

"It's getting dark. It won't be good for us if we fight at night." Xu Yuan said.

Lu Yu nodded in agreement.

Once they attacked the enemy's stronghold, Lu Yu would release all the undead warriors.

However, these undead warriors were more or less burning with flames. The flames were conspicuous in the dark, like walking torches.

On the other hand, normal people were covered in darkness, so they weren't as easy to spot in the dark.

"I don't care anymore, so let's move as fast as possible. All I want now is to kill Jiang Lintian, and I doubt there's even a shred of goodness in the people in their stronghold. They're just a bunch of evil people!"

"We're almost at the last stronghold before the headquarters. Be ready for battle!"

Xu Yuan looked at them, and they all nodded.

"The people and team leader stationed in this stronghold will be strong. We'll have to fight with all our might!"

Wang Meng held his sword firmly. He hadn't used his old spear much after obtaining this new sword.

Soon, a bright light appeared not far ahead.

Looking from afar, he found that the scattered lights were shining through the windows of the houses.

Lu Yu counted carefully and realized that there were more than ten houses. Furthermore, these houses were not tiny—they were about the size of a small townhouse!

"Damn, there must be a lot of people in this place!" Wang Meng exclaimed.

"That's for sure. I think there are at least a hundred people here." Xu Yuan analyzed.

"Aren't there too many people?" Su Qing was very surprised. The massive difference in numbers would make it difficult to ambush them.

"Captain, it's your call. What should we do next?"

Han Xuefei looked at Lu Yu, waiting for his answer.

Lu Yu looked at the stronghold in the distance and pondered for a moment before saying, "There's a huge difference in numbers, and each one of them is quite strong. The casualties would be heavy if we were to fight them head-on."

"I'll lose my undead warriors, and you guys might be severely injured. If there is an accident, it is not impossible to reduce the size of our team."

"After all, I can't protect all five of you simultaneously!"

Xu Yuan frowned. "In that case, let's go around it."

Lu Yu shook his head. "No need. I've decided to take down this stronghold. My goal is simple, and that is to increase the number of my undead warriors!"

Lu Yu began to move forward slowly, with Xu Yuan and the others following closely behind.

"For now, I plan to hide in the surroundings and use my Undead Fire to light up some weeds or the wooden crates in the corner."

"We'll attack when the fire starts burning away. It should be much easier this way."

Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and said, "The five of you will surround the area as you did previously. Don't let anyone escape. Let's do this!"

Xu Yuan nodded. "We can also go in and help fight."

"It's possible, but what if the Undead Fire latches itself onto you?"

At this moment, Su Qing raised her right hand, and a light ball appeared in her palm. "Don't worry; I can help them extinguish the fire."

Lu Yu looked at Su Qing and heaved a sigh of relief. "Phew, I forgot that you have your light elemental skills. That's great. You all can fight in the stronghold, but once you get burned, you must look for Su Qing."

"Now that the plan has been laid out, I'll go and attack first. You guys follow me."

With that, Lu Yu walked out. Xu Yuan and the others looked at Lu Yu's back, and their breathing quickened. The closer they got to the center of the stronghold, the more dangerous it would be!

They had to be careful not to falter at this moment!

Lu Yu quietly approached the team leader's stronghold.

Suddenly, a black mist began to fill his surroundings.

With Lu Yu as the center, the mist cloud started to spread.

Although Lu Yu had evolved into his Undead Dragon Claw, he could still use his Dark Dragon Claw's skill. Moreover, he could switch to his Dark Dragon Claws and continue using them in battle if he so wished.

The Black Mist spread forward and soon covered the stronghold.

"What's going on? Why is there mist?"

"Is this fog? Why is it so dark?"

"Black fog? Something's not right. Under normal circumstances, where would there be black fog? "

"Why don't we sound the alarm? I think there's a problem."

"Don't worry. Some unknown creatures might be the ones who release it. There are all kinds of strange things in these ancient ruins."

After a few words, the guards continued standing at the gate and did not sound the alarm.

At that moment, Lu Yu was standing in the Black Mist. He was invisible, so these people could not see him. Those with sharp senses might be able to sense Lu Yu's existence, but they would not be able to do so clearly.

Lu Yu approached a house and saw a pile of firewood next to it.

He extended his Undead Dragon Claw, his left claw.

Flames began to spew from his palm and onto the wood pile.

Whoosh!

The wood began to burn, and it quickly spread to the house.
