Chapter 878 Silent Swamp
After Lu Yu returned, Sean called many of his subordinates and started a lively banquet.
The square was filled with dining tables. A vast crowd gathered here, enjoying a feast.
A battle they didn’t have to fight had ended, so they naturally had to celebrate.
All of this was thanks to Lu Yu.
Some military officers came over and bowed to Lu Yu to express their deep gratitude.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, just smiled nonchalantly.
The sky was dark when the banquet began, so Lu Yu had a simple meal.
General Sean looked at Lu Yu at the dining table and asked, “You’ve annihilated the enemy. What do you plan to do next?”
“I need to go to a place called the Netherworld Abyss. There are things I need in there.”
Hearing this, Sean frowned. “I seem to have heard of this place from some folk stories.”
One of Sean’s subordinates sat down and said mysteriously, “I know how to get there.”
“Two years ago, someone accidentally went there and never came out again.”
“According to the legends, no one who entered that place came out. They all died there!”
Hearing his words, some others sucked in a breath of cold air. Wasn’t this no different from hell?
“How much do you know about that place?” Sean asked quickly.
“Oh, I don’t really know much about it. I only know that it’s a huge canyon, and the inside is quite spacious. Some people got lost inside and never came out.”
“Some people also live inside, but I heard they are all evil.”
Sean looked at Lu Yu and asked, “You heard the danger of the place. Are you still going to go?”
“Of course I’m going. No matter how evil those inhabitants are, they will admit defeat when they meet me.”
Lu Yu replied casually, not taking the warning to heart.
“Do you know how to get there?” Sean asked.
“I heard from someone else that it’s at the Silent Swamp in the south. Drive a small boat to the center of the swamp. At midnight, a stone door will float there.”
“Ordinary people can’t open the stone door, but once opened, it’s a passage that leads to the Netherworld Abyss.”
Lu Yu nodded silently and remembered the Silent Swamp.
He originally wanted to ask the Death Spirit Dragon how to get there, but since he had heard it from someone else, he did not need to ask.
When the people at the dining table knew that Lu Yu was going to that dangerous place, they started dissuading him.
With Lu Yu’s current strength, could he not go anywhere he wanted? There was no need to take the risk of heading to such a godforsaken place.
It was already a compliment to call it a godforsaken place. That place was worse than that.
Lu Yu got up and looked at Sean. “I’m leaving now. I don’t want to waste any more time.”
“We’ve just finished eating, and you’re going?” Sean asked in surprise.
“That’s right. If I go over now, I should be able to reach there before midnight.”
Sean nodded repeatedly. “Alright. Since you’ve decided, I won’t say anything more.”
“Go, prepare a fast horse!”
Hearing this, his aide quickly got up and went to prepare a horse.
Sean looked at Lu Yu and explained, “Ahead of you is a mountainous road. It’s rugged, and you can reach there quickly and agilely with a horse.”
Lu Yu pondered for a moment. His dragon was unsuitable for walking and would scare people if he flew there.
Therefore, riding a horse might not be a bad idea.
Soon, Sean’s aide returned with a scarlet horse
“Mr. Lu Yu, this is the fastest horse we have.”
Lu Yu walked over and stroked the horse’s neck.
The horse was about to throw a tantrum, but the next moment, it was frightened by the dragon’s might Lu Yu was emitting. It immediately stood frozen in place.
Lu Yu got on his horse and swung the reins.
“I’m leaving. You guys continue your banquet.”
After saying that, Lu Yu rode his horse onto the road and exited the city.
Sean looked at Lu Yu’s back and could not help but sigh. “This young man is much braver than me. He even dares to go to that damned place.”
“If this young man isn’t brave enough, he probably won’t be able to own a dragon.” His aide also sighed in amazement.
…
Lu Yu had left the city on his horse, riding at full speed into the night.
The Eternal Crown on Lu Yu’s head glowed. It was like a flashlight tied to his head, helping Lu Yu to illuminate the path ahead.
The moon was exceptionally round tonight. The moonlight shone down, illuminating the ground.
Soon, Lu Yu saw a swamp before him.
The swamp was filled with moist soil, and there were crocodiles resting on the shore.
The trees growing here were all wrapped in vines, and no one was around.
Lu Yu continued to ride his horse forward, seemingly noticing a light in the darkness.
Soon, he saw a fishing hut built by the river.
Lu Yu rode over. After getting off the horse, he patted the horse’s butt, and the horse ran back.
Lu Yu came to the wooden hut.
“Hello, I want to rent a speedboat.”
The door opened, and a potbellied man walked out.
He sized up Lu Yu and asked, “Are you going out for fishing or something?”
“I need to go to the other side of the swamp, so I need a boat. Don’t worry; I will pay the full amount.”
“Sir, it’s dangerous for you to sail out in the middle of the night.”
“Of course, I know. So? Do you want to sell your boat to me?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Lu Yu took out a few gold bars and passed them over. “Take this. I’ll buy your boat, so cut the unnecessary procedures.”
That person looked at the golden gold bars and was immediately overjoyed.
“Great! Sir, you’re really generous. This is the first time I’ve met a customer like you.”
The owner brought Lu Yu to a speedboat.
“Take this speedboat, and you’ll reach the other side soon.”
The owner then took out the keys and handed them to Lu Yu.
“This boat is yours. You can do whatever with it.”
The owner said it with a smile.
Lu Yu didn’t answer and just got into the speedboat and started the engine. The speedboat quickly rushed out onto the swamp.
Soon, Lu Yu arrived at the center of the swamp.
He looked up. The moon was exceptionally round tonight, and the moonlight was shining brightly. Lu Yu could see his surroundings clearly without the need for extra lights.
At that moment, Lu Yu reached the center of the lake and felt a special force surge out.
