Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Yu continued his trek towards the cave.
The purple smoke emanating from it created an unsettling atmosphere, but with the protection of the Eternal Divine Crown, Lu Yu remained unfazed.
Reaching the entrance, the pungent smell of the smoke was noticeable but didn’t affect him. He ventured inside, his left hand transforming into a dragon claw of light, illuminating the path ahead.
Under the illumination, Lu Yu could clearly see his surroundings.
He dove deeper, determined to uncover the source of the chaos.
Was it some form of contamination, bacteria, or virus that infected the dragons?
Or perhaps, a parasitic spore? It wasn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility.
Regardless, the deeper he went, the closer he’d be to the truth.
After a slow and cautious descent, Lu Yu reached the cave’s deepest point, yet he still encountered nothing suspicious.
He raised his hand, brushing against the stone wall before him. Continuing further would lead to a dead end.
Yet, he found no signs of anything unusual, not even a single colored stone. Curiosity gnawed at him. He had undeniably entered the cave, yet there was nothing to be found. It was truly perplexing.
Scanning his surroundings, Lu Yu spotted a small hole spewing out colorless and odorless gas. It only acquired its color upon exiting. He crouched beside the opening.
“Is this place hollow?”
Lu Yu clenched his fist and slammed it into the corner.
A resounding bang echoed as his punch created a massive hole.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, surprised by the hidden space revealed. The source of the virus was emanating from here!
Without hesitation, Lu Yu entered the newly discovered cavern. It was a small space resembling a dug-out nest. Landing inside, he found himself surrounded by darkness.
Raising his Light Dragon Claw, Lu Yu scanned the environment. While he didn’t detect any contamination, a figure huddled in the corner caught his eye.
It seemed to be… a small dragon.
Lu Yu slowly approached, gradually gaining a clearer view. The little dragon before him was no bigger than a camel, its entire body a dark purple. Its head was buried in its wings, appearing timid. Gas constantly seeped out from the gaps in its scales, carrying a strange odor.
Lu Yu drew closer, but the dragon remained curled up, showing no signs of aggression.
“You’re the one responsible for the tragedy in Black Gold City!”
Lu Yu was surprised by the creature’s timid demeanor. It had been hiding here for a long time, seemingly never venturing out. Yet, it possessed the power to manipulate ferocious dragons into attacking anyone they encountered.
What a cunning creature.
Lu Yu considered taking it away. After all, it was a timid little dragon, seemingly easy to tame.
He pulled out a few pieces of roasted meat from his pocket watch. As he approached with the offering, the little dragon wagged its tail, urging him to stay back.
Lu Yu scratched his head. The creature wouldn’t eat. Perhaps force was the only option.
“The dragon in front of us is called the Charm Dragon,” the Nightmare Dragon explained. “Although it’s not very brave, it has a very stubborn temper. Therefore, it’s impossible to tame it with force.”
“Then what should we do? Neither soft nor hard will work. This little dragon is even harder to train than the Death Spirit Dragon!”
“It needs a partner, so after you take it out, let me out. I’ll try to make friends with it.”
“What is it? Make friends? What if he turns you into a rampaging state?”
“No, he’s just too timid, that’s why he corrupted those dragons. As long as we communicate patiently, he’s actually harmless.”
“Alright… Alright then.”
Lu Yu was skeptical. This Charm Dragon could parasitize a giant dragon into a rampaging state, causing them to attack enemies, leading to countless deaths in Black Gold City. Yet, its main body was so timid, its only purpose seemingly to make friends.
Lu Yu pulled his tail and opened up the cave. They began to walk out.
The Charm Dragon was dragged away, but it still didn’t move. It was like dragging a statue.
Lu Yu dragged him out of the cave with difficulty. When they arrived at an open space, the Charm Dragon curled up even tighter, turning into a giant ball.
At that moment, Lu Yu released the Nightmare Dragon.
“You said you wanted to be friends with him. I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll communicate with him properly.”
The Nightmare Dragon’s body materialized with a swoosh.
It was much bigger than the Charm Dragon, its entire body was silver-gray. It bent down and crawled beside the Charm Dragon.
A low growl escaped the Nightmare Dragon.
The Charm Dragon peeked out and let out a whimper in response.
After a while of conversation, the Charm Dragon suddenly opened its mouth and snapped at the Nightmare Dragon.
The Nightmare Dragon retracted its neck.
Lu Yu drew his sword. “Did you fail? Let me deal with him.”
“No, Master. He just doesn’t trust me.”
The Nightmare Dragon continued to communicate patiently.
After a while, the Charm Dragon slowly stood up. It turned to Lu Yu, lowered its head, and then bowed, placing its head on the ground beside Lu Yu’s feet.
“This is… Is it done?”
“Yes, he has acknowledged you as his master now. I told him that you have also tamed a few kind friends and joined our big family. From now on, we will all be friends.”
Lu Yu smiled. “You’re really eloquent.”
Death Spirit Dragon, Fire Spirit Dragon, and Poison Dragon—none of them seemed like friendly friends.
Only the Water Spirit Dragon might have a better temper.
Lu Yu stroked the Charm Dragon’s head.
The Charm Dragon’s body then transformed into a beam of light and entered Lu Yu’s hand, turning into a dragon scale.
Lu Yu held the scale tightly and put it away.
“It’s done. I’ve successfully tamed it just like that.”
“Now, we can go back.”
Lu Yu looked at the Nightmare Dragon.
The Nightmare Dragon turned into a shadow and returned to Lu Yu’s hand.
Lu Yu unfurled his dark dragon wings and flapped them twice, ready to take off.
Swoosh!
He soared into the sky, streaking across the sky and flying towards Black Gold City.
In the afternoon, Lu Yu returned to Black Gold City.
In the office, Zhao Qingya was still busy.
After she was done, she had a cup of afternoon tea to rest.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Zhang Kai walked in quickly.
“Don’t you know how to knock?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Mayor. It’s like this. Someone is looking for trouble with us!”
“Who is it?”
“One of the chief managers of Black Gold Chamber of Commerce said that we have encroached on their interests!”
