627 Chapter 627 Following The Death Spirit Dragon

Chapter 627 Following The Death Spirit Dragon

A figure stood motionless in the dense forest, gazing up at the sky. The herbs in her hand fell to the ground, and her entire body stiffened.

She quickly twisted her storage ring, revealing two scrolls.

The first was a teleportation scroll to the stronghold, and the second was a fixed location scroll that required being within the stronghold to teleport to the mines.

She had to go to the stronghold no matter what...

Whoosh!

A strong breeze whistled by. Lu Yu stood on the fortress walls, greeting the Death Spirit Dragon's arrival.

The first thing that came was the black mist, which passed through Lu Yu's body without causing any harm.

The Undead Fire that followed burned Lu Yu's body but was quickly extinguished.

After evolving his Undead Dragon Claw, Lu Yu was immune to the Undead Fire.

The Undead Fire attacked again, followed by even more black mist. Lu Yu's surroundings changed from a primitive forest to a dark void!

The surrounding mountains and fields were ablaze. Trees were burned, beasts were roasted, and the earth was razed pitch black as if a layer of black charcoal had been strewn across it. The flames of the Undead Fire were everywhere, joyfully dancing about.

The crackling of the flames could be heard at this time, and Lu Yu could even hear a sizzling sound.

He quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie and heard a sporadic voice.

Lu... Yu..."

The signal was weak due to the noisy environment.

Lu Yu focused on the walkie-talkie, hoping the voice would continue.

He looked around but saw no one—not Jiang Ning.

Below, there was a swarm of undead puppets moving stiffly and quickly. They had no awareness, no goal, and no desire to fight. They were simply carrying out orders and charging forward.

Lu Yu stood on the fortress walls, staring up at the sky. He saw the massive Death Spirit Dragon flying over his head like a passenger plane. Its massive figure appeared frightening.

Because Lu Yu couldn't see the person on the dragon's back clearly, he had no idea who it was.

Lu Yu leapt from the fortress walls. He quickly passed through the burning trees after landing and began to look around.

The undead puppets surrounding him continued to move forward.

They weren't moving uniformly. Many of them were additional puppets that were added on the way here.

This group of puppets did not appear to show any signs of stopping or any intention of fighting Lu Yu. At the very least, this demonstrated that the dragon in the sky was only here to show off its might and not fight Lu Yu.

Lu Yu was also aware that the other party was also testing the waters and that the Truth Department was still proceeding with caution.

Lu Yu took a step forward, looking around for Jiang Ning.

Lu Yu might be able to make it in time with his Light Dragon Claw... Or not...

He could not use his light elemental skills even after transforming his left claw into his Light Dragon Claw. They were doomed if his teammates became infected by the Undead Fire.

Su Qing wasn't here, and no one on the team possessed the light elements unless they could hold out until they met the Dean of the Upper House.

However, Lu Yu was still capable of extinguishing his Undead Fire...

Lu Yu then noticed a familiar figure in front of him.

He quickly walked over and noticed a figure standing motionless in the same spot.

He approached her, twisted her shoulder, and spun her around.

When Lu Yu turned her around, he saw that the person was Jiang Ning.

Her entire body was engulfed in flames. She could still stand on her own, but she had lost consciousness. Even when Lu Yu called out to her, she remained silent.

Lu Yu put his hand on her shoulder, feeling depressed.

"Jiang Ning, I've barely stayed in the stronghold since we entered these ancient ruins. I could go out without fear because you held down the fort."

"I will definitely take revenge for you, for your death at the hands of the Truth Department..."

Lu Yu then took up his pocket watch and sucked Jiang Ning's body into it.

Lu Yu clenched his fists and stood firm. In his heart, a fire was burning.

Whistle!

After hearing a series of whistling sounds, Lu Yu looked up and saw the Death Spirit Dragon flying over. It was going back the way it came!

"Is it over? It won't be that easy to just leave like that!"

Lu Yu dashed after the dragon, running at breakneck speed.

"Don't get too excited, Lu Yu. If the Truth Department discovers you, you will undoubtedly die!" The voice of the Death Spirit Dragon's soul called out to Lu Yu immediately.

"Cut the crap. You do not have the authority to command me. I get to choose what I want to do!"

"I'm powerless to assist you. I wish you the best of luck..."

Lu Yu said nothing else and quickly followed the Death Spirit Dragon's body.

It was different from when it first arrived. The Death Spirit Dragon flew much faster on the way back, as it didn't have to spit fire to raze the ground.

Lu Yu sprinted on the ground, barely keeping up with the speed of the Death Spirit Dragon.

Lu Yu had no idea where the dragon was going, but it was definitely in the same direction as when he arrived. He was almost undoubtedly sure it was returning to the newly established stronghold of the Truth Department!

Lu Yu moved quickly and became aware of the emerald green trees surrounding him.

"We've deviated from the original path!"

Lu Yu entered a forest after following the Death Spirit Dragon's lead.

The Death Spirit Dragon flew through the sky, flapping its wings quickly.

Lu Yu began to observe and recall his surroundings.

After sprinting through the forest, Lu Yu suddenly realized that the surroundings were identical to the nearby Elizabeth's stronghold.

Lu Yu rushed out of the forest and into an open area.

A massive castle stood before him—the castle that Elizabeth owned.

Lu Yu lifted his head and gazed up at the sky. The Death Spirit Dragon landed slowly, flapping its wings. The arrival of the massive dragon caused deafening screams from the people inside the castle.

Boom!

The Death Spirit Dragon's claws gripped the fortress walls tightly, and its massive wings retracted.

The Death Spirit Dragon came to a halt on the city wall, which piqued Lu Yu's interest.

Were they looking for Elizabeth?

Lu Yu ignored his exhaustion from running and dashed over.

He climbed quickly to the top of the walls and gazed into the castle.

The Death Spirit Dragon, who had landed on the fortress walls, shook its neck and looked at Lu Yu at this time. It had its dark green eyes fixed on Lu Yu.

"It's interested in me. I brought about a familiar vibe, and now that it's recognized me as its master, I'm guessing it's just staring at me."

The Death Spirit Dragon Soul spoke up.

"Don't you want to go back? That's your body, and you've been there for however long you can remember. You must want to return, don't you?"

"Not yet; I still require your assistance."

Lu Yu turned around to face the castle. He was taken aback by seeing the dragon-rearing master walk into the castle.

Elizabeth emerged from the house and dashed toward him. She was in his arms the next moment.

Lu Yu's eyes widened slightly as he noticed this. This dragon-rearing master appeared to be Elizabeth's brother!
