Chapter 505 Enemy Contact
The golden lizard that Yun Zirou had accidentally discovered was a pet of someone from the Lionheart Empire.
The pet's owner wrote the note in front of Lu Yu before he died.
Lu Yu was certain that this person had written these words before they died and then handed them to his pet lizard so that it could take the note back and warn the people of the Lionheart Empire.
"Obviously, someone from the Lionheart Empire died, and he asked his battle pet to bring the note back. It's a dying message."
Lu Yu's words sent a chill down everyone's spine.
"It seems like we are approaching the enemy's territory." Xu Yuan commented.
"That's right. We'll have to be careful from now on. The Truth Department is made up of a bunch of inhumane people. It would be worse than hell to die at their hands!"
Lu Yu looked at the lizard, feeling pity for its master.
"What about this lizard?" Yun Zirou asked.
"Let it go. Since it knows the way back, let it go. At the same time, it can bring this news back and warn the others."
Lu Yu stuffed the note back into the lizard's pocket as he spoke.
Yun Zirou let go of the lizard's tail. After it landed on the ground, it wriggled its body and quickly left the place.
"After dinner, go to bed early. We'll speed up tomorrow morning. We must arrive at the mine as soon as possible!"
As Lu Yu spoke, Xu Yuan and the others nodded and started eating.
After quickly finishing the roasted meat, they returned to their tents and began to rest.
The bonfire gradually dimmed, and the surroundings darkened.
From time to time, there would be rustling sounds and some light footsteps.
Lu Yu and the rest were sleeping soundly and did not notice anything unusual.
Soon, the night passed, and the morning light shone through the leaves and onto the forest.
Lu Yu and the rest came out of their tents one after another.
The bonfire in the middle of the campsite had already been extinguished. Lu Yu took out a plastic bucket half the size of a human from his storage ring, and they surrounded the bucket to wash up.
"Let's go. We aren't too far away."
Lu Yu took out the guiding crystal, and the light inside the crystal was dazzlingly bright. If they walked a little further, the light should reach its full intensity.
Wang Meng kept the tents, kicked the bonfire away, and started on his way.
After taking two steps forward, Lu Yu suddenly felt something was wrong.
He activated his Eye of the Dragon God, and his eyes became like those of a giant dragon. His sharp, vertical pupils could see through everything.
After scanning the area, he was surprised to find some traces on the ground—footprints.
"There are footprints nearby. Someone was here last night!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Xu Yuan and the others became nervous.
"Are you serious? Someone found us last night when we were sleeping?" Yun Zirou asked in surprise. At the same time, she felt a chill run down her spine.
"That's right. I saw footprints on the ground. It belongs to someone else other than us."
"I think it's probably someone from the Truth Department."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, the others started panicking.
"Damn, we've been exposed before we even got close. What should we do?" Wang Meng was a little flustered, and he took out his sword. "Since we've been exposed, let's just fight them head-on. Why waste any more time?"
Lu Yu raised his hand and interrupted him, saying, "Don't worry, they only visited for a while. They don't know who lives in the tents and are probably sentries scouting for information."
"Well, I think someone from the Truth Department must have found our camp and gone back to report."
Xu Yuan analyzed as he held his chin.
Lu Yu smiled. "That's what I want. Let them send a group of people first, and let us see how strong they are."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he took the lead and continued walking forward.
Xu Yuan and the others quickly followed and, at the same time, began to look around vigilantly.
They were now close to the enemy's territory, and danger could appear anytime. Therefore, they had to be ready for battle at all times!
After walking for some distance, the surrounding trees began to turn yellow. It gradually transformed from a dense green forest to a large number of dried-up trunks.
It was as if summer had quickly turned into autumn.
Dead leaves and bare tree trunks surrounded them.
The surrounding temperature had dropped a lot, and the air that Lu Yu and the others exhaled was filled with mist.
"We're almost at the snow mountain. I wonder what kind of enemies are waiting for us here." Xu Yuan looked at the majestic snow mountain before him and sighed.
"Bloody Truth Department. Why would they stay in a place like this?" Wang Meng couldn't help but curse. Not only were the surroundings cold, but there was also a lack of supplies. It was difficult even to find food.
"Just the crystal mine alone is enough for them to protect it with their lives. What's the big deal if the environment is a little harsh?"
Lu Yu said as he continued walking.
A few meters wide river lay ahead of them at the time.
This river ran downhill from the snow mountain. The water was clear, but it flowed fast and was icy cold. Special attention was needed to cross the river.
Lu Yu and the rest came to the river, frowning as they looked at it.
"Let's jump over; I don't want my pants to get wet."
As Xu Yuan spoke, he gathered his strength and began to jump.
Lu Yu looked at the other side of the river and realized that there were many leaves in the forest. These leaves were stacked in a ridiculously thick layer.
Lu Yu felt something was amiss and quickly said, "Don't jump; let me observe first."
Xu Yuan stood still obediently. He knew Lu Yu's eyes could see through many things, so it was never wrong to let him look around.
At that moment, Lu Yu activated his Eye of the Dragon God and looked across the river.
As soon as he activated his Eye of the Dragon God, a series of personal information panels appeared in front of Lu Yu.
Lu Yu did a rough count. There were more than ten panels, each indicating a single person!
When these panels disappeared, there was still a large patch of dead leaves in front of him. There was not a human in sight.
Lu Yu snorted coldly. "These guys are hiding under the fallen leaves and trying to ambush us!"
Lu Yu's words made Xu Yuan's eyes widen. "What? Are you saying that the Truth Department is hiding in front of us to ambush us?"
Lu Yu nodded. "That's right. They're hiding under those leaves and bushes. I guess they've been lying there for a long time."
"How interesting that they wanted to ambush us this way. How laughable."
At that moment, Lu Yu had already switched to his Explosive Dragon Claws, and the temperature of his dragon claws was slowly rising.
"Then, let's give them a preemptive strike?" Xu Yuan asked.
Lu Yu smiled and nodded. "Simple!"
The next moment, he raised his claws and swung them forward.
Boom!
A ball of fire was released in an instant. The dazzling fireball exploded, and sparks fell on the tree trunk and fallen leaves, instantly igniting a big fire.
The flames burned fiercely. Immediately after, one figure after another climbed up from the pile of leaves and struggled madly, trying to put out the flames.
