Chapter 883 - 883 Dragon Burial Mound
Chapter 883 Dragon Burial Mound
When Nancy heard that the Empress needed her help, she just got even more excited.
"Really? Do you really need my help? That's great!"
"You're familiar with the place, no?" the Empress asked. "I want you to lead the way to the Dragon Burial Mound."
Although the Empress had lived here for over a hundred years, she spent most of her time in her palace.
Nancy, on the other hand, was different. She was born active and liked to take risks. She had studied every place around their city.
"Alright, sure! I'll lead the way. Don't worry; I'll bring all of you there smoothly."
With that, she walked forward excitedly.
Lu Yu looked at the Empress and asked, "You don't know the way here as well as she does?"
"Is there a problem? I've been in seclusion all this time, unlike someone with so much free time."
"Fine, then let's hurry over. At the same time, let me see how strong you are after cultivating for a hundred years."
"Tsk, in my eyes, you're just a little brat."
Lu Yu sized up the Empress and couldn't help but say, "Your biological age is over a hundred years old, but that doesn't mean you're more mature or experienced."
"You can't even match up to a little girl's ability to understand your country's geography. I think you're similar to her in all aspects except for your strength."
Upon hearing this, the Empress got a little angry. This guy was insinuating that she was inferior to a little girl!
"You! Are you saying that I'm not mature enough?"
She wanted to be angry but was afraid that it would just make her look even more childish, so she only questioned Lu Yu.
Lu Yu shrugged. "Isn't it? Have you even set foot out of this abyss?"
"I've traveled to many regions, met many leaders of various countries, and experienced countless battles."
"What about you?"
The Empress was rendered speechless by this question.
From what was implied, she was indeed inferior to Lu Yu. She was having difficulty even managing a small country with just hundreds of thousands of people.
"At the very least, I'm stronger than you!"
She pouted, unconvinced of his logic.
"Haha, then let's see who's stronger later."
Lu Yu took a confident step forward as the Empress looked at Lu Yu's back. Although she was angry, she did not know how to refute him.
What Lu Yu said did make sense, and she had nothing solid to back her claims.
She had only gone out to the Netherworld Abyss once, and it was under the guidance of her parents when she was young.
After that, she had been in seclusion for over a hundred years, knowing nothing about the outside world.
She was the same person as she was before she entered seclusion.
She would live a long life, so a hundred years was nothing for her.
"Lu Yu, you're gutsy. I can't believe you dared anger the Empress."
Nancy sighed at his behavior.
Lu Yu turned to look at the Empress and replied, "Does she look angry? I don't think what I just said has angered her?"
The Empress clenched her fists after hearing that. Although very unhappy, she had to pretend nothing had happened. Otherwise, it would prove that she was as immature as he claimed.
Nancy shrugged helplessly and continued to lead the way.
Walking down the streets, when the people of Twilight Kindom saw the Empress, they all knelt and kowtowed.
"Do they have to kneel like this every time you go out?" Lu Yu asked the Empress.
"Isn't this normal? I'm the Empress of the Twilight Kingdom."
Lu Yu frowned slightly. "This should be a rule from a hundred years ago. Even the Lionheart Empire adopted a half-kneeling posture."
"The outside world has undergone massive changes. I think you should go out and take a look when you have the chance."
Upon hearing this, the Empress was curious. "If there's a chance, I'll definitely visit the outside world."
They crossed the street under everyone's respectful gaze.
When they arrived at a river, there was a wooden bridge that led to the other side.
Nancy continued to lead the way. Walking on the bridge, she would stop to admire the surrounding environment after two steps.
She seemed to like the environment here and was constantly admiring it.
Lu Yu looked up and noticed they were not in a completely enclosed environment. He could see the stars in the sky.
It was as if they were in a canyon.
However, it was strange, as the sun never rose and it was always night.
Therefore, the plants, animals, and even humans living here were all special.
A giant mushroom forest appeared before them. The towering, colorful mushrooms illuminated dazzlingly.
Many of these mushrooms were fluorescent, lighting up their surroundings.
The three of them continued walking along a small path in the forest.
At that moment, the voice of the Death Spirit Dragon suddenly rang out in Lu Yu's mind.
"Right, it's in this direction. We'll soon reach the dragon burial mound, where many dragons are buried. Help me find a body, and I'll be loyal to you eternally!"
"Just stay obedient. I'll help you find one."
The Nightmare Dragon's voice also sounded out.
His voice was a little rougher, different from the ethereal voice of the Death Spirit Dragon.
"I can feel the power of the Dragon God in your body. Help me find my body, and you will be my master!"
The Nightmare Dragon pledged itself to Lu Yu's service and did not seem to have any other thoughts.
Compared to the Death Spirit Dragon, it was more trustworthy.
"I will find the bodies of the two dragons. Remember, you must contribute in the later battles."
"Yes, sir!"
After the conversation in his mind ended, Lu Yu looked at Nancy and asked, "How much longer until we arrive?"
"Soon, we will reach the dragon burial mound after passing through another forest."
"However, the environment there is dangerous. We have to be prepared."
After walking for a while, they saw a lake.
The lake was tiny, about the size of a basketball court.
Nancy walked to the lake. Some glowing lotus flowers were floating on the surface of the calm lake.
She squatted by the lake and took a sip of the water, revealing a relaxed expression.
"Ha, the lake water here is still as delicious as ever!"
She pursed her lips excitedly and got up to continue leading the way.
At that moment, the calm lake suddenly surged. A massive monster broke through the lake and rushed toward Nancy.
Lu Yu turned his head and saw a giant toad rushing out. It opened its huge mouth and tried to swallow Nancy.
The toad's body looked like a tank. With one bite, it could swallow Nancy into its stomach.
The Empress unhesitatingly pulled out her two daggers and charged to save Nancy.
