Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146 Obtaining Information
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the cage, Kane slowly lifted his head and met Lu Yu’s gaze. “This ends here. I’m willing to tell you everything you want to know.”
“Very well,” Lu Yu responded, crossing his arms. “Tell me, how does your Demon Lord Abyss plan to attack next?”
“First, let me explain something,” Kane began. “We secretly constructed a teleportation array. You couldn’t detect the energy fluctuations because we mastered a technology from the ruins that allowed us to mask them.”
“Then, they sent me out to retrieve the gemstone. Once I enlarged it, everything was in place.”
“They simply need me to return and use the gemstones to enlarge all the fighting beasts in their army. This will create a force of immense size and momentum to attack you.”
“At that point, you’ll be completely defenseless. You’ll be mercilessly crushed, no longer a match for us.”
He looked up at Lu Yu. “However, after obtaining the gemstone, I decided to test its power first. I used it on Jasper City, and the result… well, you see it now.”
“If not for that, I would have returned with the staff, and we would have won! What a pity… truly pathetic and regrettable.” He sighed helplessly, his tone heavy with remorse, as if he couldn’t accept the outcome.
Lu Yu looked down at him, a sneer playing on his lips. “You’re quite upset, aren’t you? It’s understandable. You had the arrogance to summon a behemoth like the Giant Crag Dragon, so a little pride is expected.”
“It seems you unearthed a fair amount of treasure in those ruins. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to utilize them.”
Kane clasped his hands together, pleading with Lu Yu. “Please, spare me. I’ve told you everything. I just want to return home.”
“Don’t even dream of it,” Lin Yuan interjected, his voice laced with hatred. This man had caused countless casualties in Jasper City, and Lin Yuan craved nothing less than his death as atonement.
“I’ve told you everything! Why won’t you let me go?!” Kane roared at Lin Yuan.
Lu Yu simply spread his hands. “I won’t be involved in the aftermath. I’m leaving.”
Seeing Lu Yu’s intention to depart, Lin Yuan quickly stopped him. “Lu Yu… he said Demon Lord Abyss has a large army prepared to attack us. It’s already set up, waiting on the other side of the teleportation array!”
“If we can clear out the enemies on the other side, it would be a huge advantage. We could crush the spirit of Demon Lord Abyss and show them we’re not to be trifled with.”
“Go ahead, then,” Lu Yu replied nonchalantly.
“I…” Lin Yuan stammered, “how do I go? I don’t have the strength for this. Ultimately, I still need you. You were able to kill the Giant Crag Dragon, so dealing with the army shouldn’t be an issue, right?”
Lu Yu snorted. “Don’t waste my time. I don’t have the time for this. You can handle it yourself.”
“Besides, their plans have been disrupted. I doubt they’ll come.”
Lin Yuan grew anxious. “While that’s true, I still feel they won’t give up. This is a golden opportunity. They still don’t know we’ve discovered them. We can strike first. If our sneak attack is successful, we’ll have the upper hand.”
“With a good enough opportunity, we might even prevent them from considering this again for the next five or ten years.” He clenched his fist and slammed it against his palm. “In that case, I’ll spread this news. Every department needs to be involved in organizing a counterattack. That’s the only way to gain the upper hand!”
Then, he turned to Zhao Qingya. “Is your hunting team sending someone over? Can you get Lu Yu to help? It would be a huge advantage to have him here. It would boost our morale.”
Zhao Qingya glanced at Lu Yu and spread her hands helplessly. “While I am his superior, I don’t have the authority to control him. If he has his own plans, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Look, I can’t stay here any longer. This is your enemy. You guys handle it yourselves. I’m heading to the capital to find someone. That’s my priority.”
Zhao Qingya sighed helplessly. “See, Lu Yu doesn’t want to help, and I have to accompany him to the capital. So, I’m afraid I can’t a.s.sist you further.”
Lin Yuan nodded in understanding. “I see. In that case, let’s leave it at that. I’ll find a time to execute Kane and ensure he has no escape. Then, I’ll continue to send more guards outside the city to monitor the situation.”
“Oh, and if we encounter any enemies, I’ll try not to bother you. We still have the United Front Work Division, and they can also help.”
Turning to Lu Yu, Lin Yuan added, “We still need to thank you for getting rid of the Giant Crag Dragon. Otherwise, our city wall would have been breached!”
Lu Yu waved his hand dismissively. “No need to mention it. I also got a pretty good item out of it. I plan to study this gem when I have time to see how effective it is.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up with an idea. He excitedly suggested, “Then why don’t we do this? You help us enlarge a dragon, and then we help you experiment with this staff. How about that?”
Lu Yu considered it for a moment, then nodded. “Alright, let’s give it a try then. It just so happens that it can strengthen your forces.”
Lin Yuan was instantly thrilled. “That’s fantastic! Let’s go to the surface and experiment right now!”
The three of them then returned to the ground. In the s.p.a.cious courtyard, Lin Yuan dismissed the surrounding people, creating a large empty s.p.a.ce.
He then released his dragon.
A pitch-black Black Dragon materialized. This type of basic dragon was quite common, with many found near Black Dragon City.
Clearly, this was his first experiment, so Lin Yuan was particularly cautious.
“Lu Yu, try it and see how effective it is.”
Lu Yu raised the sapphire staff in his hand and injected Reiki into it. The staff immediately began to glow.
Boom!
A beam of light shot into the Black Dragon’s body.
Boom!
The Black Dragon, already quite large, rapidly began to expand!
