Zhao Yu and Leo were visibly shaken. They trembled as they looked at Lu Yu.
“You were the one who killed those ten-plus dragons last night?” Zhao Yu stammered, his lips quivering.
“That’s right,” Lu Yu confirmed. “So, there’s no need to fight anymore. There’s nothing to argue about here. Leave this giant dragon to the hunting team. The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce wasn’t much help, so just stand aside.”
Leo sighed in relief. “Thank you for your help, Deputy Mayor. You’ve saved us a lot of trouble.”
“You’re here personally to oversee the follow-up work, then?” Leo inquired curiously.
“Not exactly,” Lu Yu clarified. “I’m here to investigate the source. These enraged dragons came out of that cave. I want to go in and eliminate the root cause.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately became nervous. “Big Brother, I strongly advise you not to go near that place.”
“It’s very dangerous there. There was once a man who claimed to be brave and wanted to explore it.”
“He came out completely disfigured, transformed into a monster.”
“There’s a strange power in that place. Anyone who enters will be affected. So, I advise you not to go near it. It’s best to seal the cave.”
He spoke with utmost seriousness, his entire body trembling as if haunted by unpleasant memories.
“Thank you for the reminder, but I still need to go. I won’t keep you two any longer. I’ll take my leave now.”
Lu Yu unfurled his wings and prepared to depart.
Zhao Yu sighed helplessly. “I hope he can return safely.”
“Don’t be so pessimistic. He can take down over ten dragons in a single night. Why would he be afraid of what’s unknown in the cave?”
“But what’s in there might not be a monster, but something strange. If he goes in, there might not even be any enemies for him to fight.”
Leo felt a pang of guilt. “Then… he might actually be in danger!”
Meanwhile, Lu Yu was already approaching the danger zone.
He raised his head and gazed up at the mountain, clearly seeing a cave with wisps of purple smoke rising from within.
“This place is quite striking. Did we really need a whole scouting team to investigate it?”
Lu Yu began his descent towards the cave entrance.
Upon landing, he was surprised to find a tent pitched beside it, with a figure sitting nearby.
Lu Yu approached him. “Hey, don’t you know it’s dangerous here? You’re actually camping out here.”
The man turned around and looked at Lu Yu with a gentle smile. “Don’t you think this cave is quite beautiful?”
Wisps of purple smoke rose, painting the scenery around them in an ethereal light.
“How could this be a dangerous place?”
He smiled and continued sketching. In front of him was an easel, and the painting depicted the cave before them.
“Black Gold City truly has all sorts of people,” Lu Yu mused.
“I’d better go into the cave and see what’s going on.”
As Lu Yu prepared to step forward, he spotted a rat scurrying past. Strangely, the rat had a bright purple pustule on its neck.
The creature seemed to have gone mad, biting at Lu Yu’s shoes.
Lu Yu lifted his leg and kicked it away. The rat flew over ten meters before immediately bouncing back, ready for another attack.
Witnessing this, the painter exclaimed, “What a beautiful mouse! It even has purple decorations on its body. This is truly a wondrous place.”
The rat scurried over and climbed up his leg.
“Ah!”
He let out a scream, but in the next moment, the rat had clambered onto his neck and sunk its teeth into his carotid artery.
Blood spurted out as the painter clutched his neck and wailed in pain. He rolled back and forth on the ground, quickly succumbing to his wounds.
Lu Yu shook his head, helpless. “This guy is too naive.”
“I’ll cremate you as a goodbye.”
He raised his right hand, gathered flames in his palm, and shot them at the corpse.
The corpse was burned to ashes, along with the rat.
Lu Yu frowned slightly. The rats here seemed to have been infected.
In other words, the source of contamination in this cave didn’t discriminate; it wasn’t solely targeting the dragons.
If that was the case, he was also at risk.
This realization made him a little nervous. “What if something happens to me? I don’t even know how to deal with such a strange situation.”
Lu Yu had no idea how to get rid of the purple pustules. Perhaps the Eternal Divine Crown could help, but he couldn’t take the risk.
At that moment, the Nightmare Dragon spoke in his mind.
“Master, you can let a dragon with higher resistance enter. That way, it can withstand the contamination.”
“Yeah, your suggestion isn’t bad. Who do you think can do it?”
“Of course it’s the Death Spirit Dragon. His body is the most complete, and his soul and body have fused together. He’s at his peak right now. Moreover, he’s tough and has high resistance. Therefore, if we let him come, there’s absolutely no problem.”
“Hmm, that’s a good suggestion.”
“Nightmare Dragon, why don’t you go yourself? Why should I go? You don’t have a good heart!”
“Don’t be impatient. I’m just making a suggestion.”
“Then why don’t you suggest going yourself?”
“My attributes are ordinary. Master knows that.”
The constant bickering in his mind frustrated Lu Yu.
“Shut up, everyone. I’ll test if the Eternal Divine Crown is useful. If it can counteract it, I can go in.”
At that moment, Lu Yu spotted a deer in the forest. It stopped and turned to look at him.
He noticed that the deer also had a pustule on its neck, clearly infected.
Since that was the case, he could experiment with this first.
However, the deer were very alert. Lu Yu had to approach cautiously, making sure not to startle it.
But just as he carefully took two steps forward, the deer didn’t run away. Instead, it charged at him.
It lowered its head and attacked Lu Yu with its horns.
“You’re bold!”
Lu Yu quickly activated his Eternal Divine Crown, shining it at the deer.
Swoosh!
A holy light bathed the deer.
Then, Lu Yu saw the pustule on the deer’s neck begin to tremble.
The pustule started to expand, gradually growing larger. When it reached its limit, it exploded with a bang.
Once the pustule vanished, the male deer immediately regained its senses. Upon seeing Lu Yu, it turned and fled, even though its neck was still bleeding.
“It’s effective! If that’s the case, I don’t have to be afraid anymore. The Eternal Divine Crown has a void-like effect, so I’ll be invincible for a period of time. The situation won’t be too bad.”
