Chapter 681 Gradual Progress

Lu Yu walked toward the Water Spirit Dragon. When he woke up, the Water Spirit Dragon did not leave immediately, nor did it attack him. This proved that the Water Spirit Dragon had no ill intentions toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu felt that as long as they slowly built up their relationship, it was only a matter of time before he could tame the Water Spirit Dragon.

The Water Spirit Dragon, having drunk its fill, raised its head and saw Lu Yu. It seemed to be observing Lu Yu without any hostility or affection.

Lu Yu knew it still had its guard up against him. The Water Spirit Dragon needed time to slowly get used to him.

He opened his arms and walked toward the Water Spirit Dragon, smiling and looking as friendly as possible.

However, before he could take two steps, the Water Spirit Dragon flapped its wings and flew into the forest's depths.

The Water Spirit Dragon flapped its wings and created a strong gust, blowing the fallen leaves around it.

Lu Yu stood on the spot, looking in the direction that the Water Spirit Dragon had flown away. He sighed helplessly as this proved he would not be able to settle this within a short period of time.

A rustling sound suddenly came from the grass nearby. Lu Yu turned back and saw a few people walking out of the grass.

It was Long Jue, Xu Yuan, and the others.

Long Chen walked over quickly and asked, "How is it? How did the Water Spirit Dragon react to you?"

"It's alright. It doesn't treat me as an enemy, but not as a friend either."

"It looks like you must slowly increase your favorability, and there is no other way. There is another way to tame the battle pet, and that is to beat it into submission. I doubt that's possible here." Long Jue said helplessly.

Lu Yu nodded slightly and knew that was also impossible. He could not defeat the Water Spirit Dragon, so he could only use a gentle method and take it slow.

"It seems it will really take a few months for this. I'm just afraid tracking the Water Spirit Dragon will take a lot of time."

Lu Yu stated his worries as he left.

Long Jue and the rest followed behind Lu Yu and went back.

"Lu Yu, don't worry about that. There are hundreds of thousands of people here, and finding the Water Spirit Dragon will be a piece of cake."

"You guys also have your daily lives, and it's not reasonable for everyone to put all their energy into finding the Water Spirit Dragon. Also, you must constantly be careful not to be accidentally injured by the Water Spirit Dragon."

Long Jue nodded thoughtfully. "That's true. After all, the Water Spirit Dragon is only neutral toward you."

Soon, they returned to the ancient city and the villa.

Long Xue'er had already prepared breakfast in the villa and placed it on the dining table.

After Lu Yu and the others returned, they ate at the dining table.

Xu Mo looked at Lu Yu and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll return after this."

"Are you that busy?" Xu Yuan asked quickly.

"Kinda, and someone also has to report the situation here. The military doesn't know what happened here, so I can report it to them and let them know when I return."

After hearing this, Lu Yu nodded. "No problem. Return after this meal, and tell Wan Guliu that I will tame the Water Spirit Dragon. I won't come out until I successfully tame it."

Xu Mo looked at Lu Yu worriedly. "You have to be quick. We don't know how much time we have left."

Lu Yu replied while eating his breakfast, "Don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible,"

Long Jue, sitting at the dining table, looked at the two of them in confusion. "You don't have much time? What did that mean? What's going on outside here?"

"There is an impending crisis. An ancient force is about to awaken and take over our world, and a war will break out sooner or later. I don't know when it will happen. However, conflicts are already occurring."

Lu Yu gave a simple explanation.

The military's forces had entered the ancient ruins, and the friction between the two sides had begun. The exact moment of a full-scale war was still unknown.

"I see; it sounds like a big crisis, and you must pay special attention to it. If you can tame a few giant dragons, they will greatly help you when the war begins!"

"That's right. A dragon's power is game-changing, and it will be easy for a dragon to destroy a city. It just needs to fly over and breathe out, and everything will be gone." Long Xue'er commented excitedly.

"Yeah. So, I will try to tame as many as possible in this short period of peace!"

After breakfast, Xu Mo left in a hurry.

Only Lu Yu, Han Xuefei, and Yun Zirou were left in the villa.

After a short rest, Long Jue walked to Lu Yu's side and told him his people had found the latest traces of the Water Spirit Dragon.

After hearing the news, Lu Yu immediately set off again for his destination.

For a long time after that, other than eating, drinking, and peeing, Lu Yu spent most of the time waiting for the latest information regarding the Water Spirit Dragon. After receiving any information, he immediately rushed over and tried to tame it.

Sometimes, when the distance was too far, Lu Yu had to set up camp in the wild. He had almost figured out the entire valley after a month of traveling.

The first month passed by very quickly, and Lu Yu had adapted to living in the Hidden Dragon Ancient City and its local customs.

Han Xuefei had returned to the Freedom Federation at this time. She had nothing to do here, so it'd be better for her to care for her family...

In the second month, Lu Yu's routine didn't change. After getting news of a new location, he rushed there and tried to get close to the Water Spirit Dragon.

On the other hand, Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou began hunting in the forest to find ferocious beasts for cultivation and combat practice.

Lu Yu also tried a new method of taming the dragon. After hunting with Yun Zirou, he would take the dead beasts to the Water Spirit Dragon as food.

Lu Yu had a pocket watch with infinite storage space, which could store a lot of beasts at once.

The Water Spirit Dragon was happy to accept Lu Yu's gift. After all, it would be inefficient and energy-consuming for it to hunt for food.

Lu Yu sent over a pile of beasts every time; each time, it would eat to its heart's content.

The second month ended very quickly...

At the holy lake in the Hidden Dragon Ancient City...

Lu Yu sat cross-legged in front of the Jade Tree, bathing himself in the warm energy emitted by the Jade Tree.

He raised his head to look at Jade Tree and let out a long sigh.

During these two months, he would come to the Jade Tree whenever he had time. He had hoped to hear his mother's voice or see Su Qing come out of the Jade Tree.

Unfortunately, there was no movement from the Jade Tree even after two whole months.

At that moment, Xu Yuan and Yun Zirou paddled to Lu Yu's side.

"Lu Yu, let's go. We've got information on the Water Spirit Dragon's latest traces, and it's eating the food you put in there. This time, the scouts managed to get close to the Water Spirit Dragon within 300 meters, proving that its hostility toward humans has weakened a lot!"
