Chapter 519 The Enemy Who Has Yet To Awaken
Wang Meng and the rest surrounded Lu Yu and asked about his situation.
"Brother, you're not hurt, are you? That guy was really powerful."
"Of course! This guy is probably a core member of the Truth Department. How can he not be powerful?"
Wang Meng rolled his eyes at Xu Yuan. "I was just exclaiming..."
Han Xuefei glanced at the corpse on the ground, then looked at Lu Yu and asked, "It's such a pity that he died. It would be great if we could get some information from him."
"Indeed, it would be best to get some information, but the Truth Department is full of lunatics. We won't be able to get anything useful out of them."
Lu Yu's words made the others nod in agreement, as they didn't expect to get any information from a member of the Truth Department.
"This guy should at least be at platinum rank, right? No wonder your battle was so difficult." Yun Zirou commented.
Wang Meng rubbed his chest and said, "It's obvious after I've taken that hit. This guy must have been of platinum rank!"
Xu Yuan looked at Lu Yu and asked, "What should we do next? Should we just leave, or what?"
Lu Yu looked at the empty surroundings. Other than the broken crystals on the ground, there were only corpses.
The cold and lonely place made one's hair stand on end.
Lu Yu knew that there must be an even more powerful enemy here—the one who had not awakened yet, the one from the Ember Empire!
"Let's wait here for a while. I'll recover my strength and observe the situation around us."
Lu Yu walked to the side, found a relatively flat crystal, and sat down.
Wang Meng and the rest also gathered around and sat beside Lu Yu.
"Boss, do we need to look at the insides of the mine? There must be a lot of miners inside."
"Many often went missing in this area. They were most likely captured here to work as miners, and some of them were taken to be used as potion ingredients by these bastards!"
"There are definitely miners, but do you dare to go down?"
When Lu Yu asked this question, Wang Meng wanted to pat his chest to make a guarantee, but the next moment, he coughed.
"I... I really don't have the guts to do that."
After he had calmed down, he remembered that a boss-level character might be hidden in the mine.
"Let's wait here for now. Let's recover our strength and stamina first. When it gets dark, the miners will come up. If they're still fine, that means that guy hasn't woken up yet."
"Without exception, the strength of those who had just woken up from their slumber will sharply decrease. They needed a long time to recover, and it would be much easier if we could fight them when they just woke up."
"Alright, let's hope so. If that's the case, we still have a chance of winning." Xu Yuan clenched his fist and commented excitedly.
Lu Yu drank a bottle of potion, and his physical stamina began to recover quickly.
He was still thinking about whether he should reveal Liao Xie's final information.
However, this information was too bombastic. He had to go back and report to the military first.
Lu Yu thought about it and nodded slightly.
This matter was of great importance. Although Liao Xie's words might be dubious, if it really happened, it would turn out to be an unprecedented disaster!
In such a crisis, it was possible they had to unite the three human forces to fight against the enemy!
Of course, he also had to consider whether Liao Xie was telling the truth.
After resting for more than ten minutes, Lu Yu's physical strength returned to its peak. As for Wang Meng, his recovery was a little slow as he had suffered too many fractures.
"Why don't we enter the mine and take a look?" Xu Yuan looked around and suggested.
Lu Yu stood up. "Alright, let's go in and take a look. Let's see what's happening inside!"
As Lu Yu spoke, he walked toward the mine, with Han Xuefei and the rest following behind him.
He had only taken two steps when they suddenly heard a series of noises.
The six people stood still for a moment, constantly paying attention to their surroundings.
After that, Lu Yu took out his walkie-talkie.
"It's a walkie-talkie signal. Someone has connected to my signal."
They heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"Who could this signal be? Everyone from the Truth Department should be dead by now, right?"
Xu Yuan asked curiously, but then he became alert.
"The other Truth Department members have likely come to check on the situation."
"Mountains surround this place. If they don't get close, they won't be able to link to a signal here. Also, this place is not near any other places."
Lu Yu nodded in agreement with Xu Yuan's analysis. It was likely to be a signal from someone in the Truth Department.
"But let's still listen to the other party first. Then we'll consider whether to reply."
With that, Lu Yu pressed the button.
After that, the walkie-talkie buzzed with static.
"Can... can... can you hear me..."
Lu Yu didn't say anything and just waited.
"I'm from the Lionheart Empire. Is there anyone nearby?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"The Lionheart Empire is here?"
"How did they get here? Climb over those mountains?"
"Could they have found this place because they were looking for the missing person?"
"Why don't you ask? I don't think he's from the Truth Department."
Lu Yu nodded slightly and picked up the walkie-talkie, asking, "Can you hear me?"
"I can! That's great, there's finally a response, but your voice doesn't..."
"I know. Does the person you're looking for have a golden lizard as a pet?"
"You... how do you know about this?"
Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and nodded. Evidently, this person had found this place by relying on the lizard.
"Don't worry; I just happened to run into that lizard."
"Have you seen the lizard's owner?"
"No, I didn't..."
"Oh... then wouldn't he be..."
The other party's tone gradually became pessimistic, certain that the person they were looking for was dead.
"Not necessarily. He might still be alive. If everything goes well, I should be able to save him."
"Although I don't know you, you have given me a glimmer of hope..."
The other party didn't seem to care whether Lu Yu was telling the truth or not, but they felt much better now that they had a glimmer of hope.
"I thought he was dead for sure. There was an earthquake and an avalanche, so I almost died here too. I hope he's still alive..."
Lu Yu could roughly guess what the earthquake and avalanche were about.
However, an earthquake was a little exaggerated. Lu Yu's punch did not land on the ground, but an avalanche could easily be triggered.
"To be honest, I can't guarantee I can save your friend. I can only try my best."
"As long as you try my best..."
At that moment, Lu Yu's feet suddenly began to tremble. The trembling was very light, and if one did not pay attention, one would not notice it …
