Chapter 682 Time Flies

Hearing the news, Lu Yu stood up and looked back at Xu Yuan.

The two of them had to raise their heads to look up at Lu Yu, as they were in a boat.

"Let's go. The past two months have not been in vain, as there has been some progress."

Lu Yu walked on the lake's surface while Xu Yuan paddled the boat. The three of them returned to the shore.

Lu Yu took out a box of paint and applied green paint to his face.

After moving around in the forest for some time, he learned how to camouflage from the dragon descendants, which could help him hide better.

At that moment, someone ran over and shouted at Lu Yu, "Mr. Lu Yu, Mr. Lu Yu!"

"Long Xin, just tell me if you have something to inform me of. You seem to be in a hurry. What happened?"

The man named Long Xin was the leader of the investigation team. He reported to Lu Yu daily, and the two became friends.

"Mr. Lu Yu, the Water Spirit Dragon... it suddenly went berserk and attacked several of our members. Some of them were badly injured!"

Lu Yu frowned. "How could this be? The Water Spirit Dragon has always been gentle."

"Maybe we've always been judging its safe distance. We've been trying to get closer to it earlier and see if it doesn't mind us humans."

Lu Yu patted his shoulder and said helplessly, "You're crazy; why would you get so close to the Water Spirit Dragon while it was eating? It would've thought you were there to steal its food if."

"The team members were too excited to be in close contact with a dragon and forgot about this. Let's hurry over!"

Lu Yu sighed and quickly left the ancient city, rushing to the coordinates given.

Xu Yuan and the others followed closely behind Lu Yu. The three of them passed through the forest and saw an open space before them.

Bang!

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud uproar was accompanied by rising dust clouds as a few towering trees in the surroundings collapsed.

Lu Yu could vaguely see the Water Spirit Dragon right before him. It swung its tail and could sweep away the surrounding trees after breaking them in half.

From time to time, there were screams around him. Lu Yu quickly ran over and reached the open space.

He turned his head and saw the team lying on the ground. Some had broken legs, some were spitting blood, and some were unconscious.

Lu Yu didn't have time to think and quickly walked toward the Water Spirit Dragon.

Lu Yu opened his arms and shouted at it while approaching the dragon. "It's me! I'm your friend. Have you forgotten?"

The agitated Water Spirit Dragon suddenly stopped and stared at Lu Yu.

It folded its wings and squatted on the ground quietly.

"That's good. If you're a good boy, I'll always give you food and treat you well."

Lu Yu walked over, reached out his hand, and touched the Water Spirit Dragon's chin.

The Water Spirit Dragon squinted its eyes and enjoyed it.

After two months of contact, Lu Yu had already established a certain emotional connection with the Water Spirit Dragon. The dragon also recognized Lu Yu and would be obedient as long as he was around.

The longest time they spent together was two hours.

However, the Water Spirit Dragon did not listen to Lu Yu completely. It would fly away unwillingly whenever Lu Yu wanted to bring it back with him.

This gave Lu Yu a headache. Sometimes, he longed for the strength to tame it with force. It would be much easier to tame it than now...

The Water Spirit Dragon was considered gentle. If it were a more violent giant dragon, Lu Yu would find it much more difficult to tame it peacefully!

Under Lu Yu's petting, the Water Spirit Dragon gradually lay on the ground with its huge head sticking to Lu Yu's body.

Lu Yu turned around and looked at Xu Yuan. "Take the team back. Hurry up, as they might die if delayed any longer."

He had just seen several people seriously injured. If they were not treated in time, there was a risk of death.

Xu Yuan nodded quickly and began to treat them. He started healing everyone, giving them potions before helping them up.

Lu Yu took two steps back, turning his claws into his Flowing Water Dragon Claws.

He used his claws to condense a huge ball of water, controlling it so that the ball of water floated in the air.

The Water Spirit Dragon jumped and stared at the water ball.

Lu Yu waved his hands, and the water ball swished around in the air.

The Water Spirit Dragon jumped around happily, pouncing toward the rapidly flying water ball.

Its colossal body caused the ground to shake with every jump.

At that moment, Lu Yu thought of a game he could play with the Water Spirit Dragon if it cooperated and was interested in this game.

When he was young, he would use some ropes with balls tied to the end of them to play with cats and dogs; he wanted to do the same with the Water Spirit Dragon.

He didn't expect it to be as interested in this as it was.

After missing a few times, the Water Spirit Dragon seemed even more excited.

Suddenly, it flapped its wings and jumped up. It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the water ball in the air!

After it landed, it left the place in satisfaction.

Lu Yu knew he couldn't stop it, so he let it leave.

At least for now, he was a friend of the Water Spirit Dragon.

It was good enough that there was progress, as the worst thing was having no results after trying everything.

Satisfied, Lu Yu turned around and left, heading back home.

With his current progress, Lu Yu projected that he could tame the Water Spirit Dragon within half a year.

Even though it was a long process, Lu Yu knew it was worth it.

In the Hidden Dragon Ancient City, the injured had been properly hospitalized. Lu Yu had also returned to the villa to eat the meal Long Xue'er had prepared.

Long Xue'er sat at the dining table during dinnertime and looked at Lu Yu excitedly. The thing she looked forward to the most every day was listening to Lu Yu tell her about what happened between him and the Water Spirit Dragon during dinner.

Lu Yu retold today's events to Long Xue'er, lifting her mood.

"The Water Spirit Dragon seems much closer to humans now. It's a pity that the scouting team got too impatient; they deserved to be injured!"

"However, do you think you are now friends with the Water Spirit Dragon?"

Long Xue'er asked in excitement.

"Of course. But it still has its own thoughts and won't listen to my orders. At least for now, I can't make it go wherever I want it to go."

"I believe in you. You'll definitely be able to tame it within half a year!"

"You do know that I'll be leaving this place after taming the dragon, right?"

Upon hearing this, Long Xue'er's excited face immediately did a 180.

"If you're gone, who can I cook for?"

"Your Dad,"

"No way. He'll never praise me for cooking!" replied Long Xue'er unconvincedly.

Lu Yu only smiled faintly and continued to eat.
