Chapter 1129 Setting Off For The Hunt

“Don’t you think it’s risky to go alone?” “Maybe we should bring more people, just in case something goes wrong.”

“If there’s an accident,” Zhao Qingya countered, “it’ll definitely be the dragons, not Lu Yu.”

“That place is known for its dangers. We should be more careful,” Zhang Kai insisted.

“Compared to the dragons,” Zhao Qingya continued, “Lu Yu poses a far greater threat.”

Zhang Kai stood there, bewildered, scratching his head. “Really? From your words, it seems this deputy mayor is much stronger than those dragons.”

He turned to Lu Yu. “Can you really handle them by yourself? What kind of dragon will you use? If you truly possess such immense strength, your dragon must be incredibly powerful, a rare top-notch super dragon, wouldn’t you agree?”

Lu Yu shrugged nonchalantly. “I believe I can deal with those dragons on my own.”

“By yourself? Absolutely not! In this land teeming with dragon trainers, when facing formidable opponents, people typically unleash their strongest dragons to fight!” Zhang Kai exclaimed.

“These dragons aren’t formidable opponents,” Lu Yu countered. “There’s no need for that.”

“Is that so? I see. It appears I’ve underestimated you. My apologies.” Zhang Kai admitted his mistake.

Lu Yu tapped the table. “Show me the map. I need to locate these enemies and eliminate them as soon as possible.”

“Certainly. Here’s our most accurate map. You can clearly see the dragons’ location, and I’ve marked the cave as well.”

Lu Yu unfolded the map on the table, studied it briefly, then committed it to memory.

“Understood. I’ve memorized this location. I’ll head over and eradicate the surrounding dragons. You both can stay here comfortably.”

Zhang Kai’s face broke into a wide grin. “To think our small Black Gold City would be graced with the presence of such an expert!”

“Black Gold City is fortunate indeed,” Zhao Qingya echoed, her gaze filled with admiration for Lu Yu. “Are you leaving now? This situation isn’t particularly urgent. Perhaps you could explore Black Gold City and experience the local customs.”

Before Zhao Qingya could finish, Zhang Kai interjected, “Mayor Zhao, there’s actually a matter of urgency…”

He explained, “The dragons are steadily encroaching on our encampment outside the city, nearing the city gates! If we don’t repel them soon, we’ll be in grave danger.”

“Besides,” he continued, “there’s not much to experience in Black Gold City. The Chamber of Commerce controls everything, and the harsh realities of this city breed malice amongst the common people.”

Zhao Qingya threw her hands up in helplessness, her eyes flitting to Lu Yu. “Then it seems we must trouble you to act swiftly. Otherwise, Black Gold City faces a dire threat.”

Lu Yu gave a small nod. “Very well. You two wait here. I’ll return shortly.”

“No problem at all,” Zhang Kai responded eagerly. “I’ll prepare a ride for you immediately. Will it be a wyvern or a swift dragon?”

He antic.i.p.ated Lu Yu’s choice with a smile.

“Neither is necessary. Open the window, and I’ll be on my way.”

Lu Yu strode towards the window and flung it open.

Zhang Kai stared at him, utterly bewildered. “How do you plan to depart? Teleport?”

“I’ll be flying,” Lu Yu declared.

“Ah, so you’ll be using your own flying dragon mount!” Zhang Kai exclaimed, finally understanding.

“No, I can fly myself!”

In a flash of movement, a pair of dark dragon wings erupted from Lu Yu’s back, enveloping his entire form. With wings outstretched, Lu Yu stood even taller, a formidable figure silhouetted against the window.

“I’m leaving. Wait for me to come back.” With a final word, Lu Yu vanished through the window, a blur of dark wings propelling him into the night sky.

Zhang Kai stood speechless, wide-eyed with astonishment. “He… he sprouted wings! Dragon wings! I’ve never heard of such a thing, let alone seen it!”

“It’s incredible! Who is he?!” Zhang Kai stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

Zhao Qingya shrugged helplessly. “I don’t know either. He’s quite the enigma.”

“Well, then,” Zhang Kai suggested hesitantly, “should we retire for the night? It’s quite late, after all. We might see him again tomorrow morning.”

Checking her watch, Zhao Qingya countered, “It’s still early for bed. Why don’t you whip up a bowl of noodles? He should be back by the time we finish eating.”

“Noodles? You think he’ll be that fast?” Zhang Kai questioned, eyebrows raised.

“He’s very efficient,” Zhao Qingya a.s.sured him. “It won’t be long. Just wait, he’ll be back soon.”

“Alright, then…” Zhang Kai conceded, left with no other choice.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu soared through the sky, surveying the situation beyond the city walls. In the distance, he spotted traces of several colossal dragons.

Their forms were unmistakable in the darkness, not only because of his exceptional Divine Dragon’s Eye, but also due to a conspicuous mark emitting a faint purple glow—the parasite sac on their necks. These pulsating tumors were particularly easy to spot against the night sky, especially given the dragons’ ma.s.sive size.

One such dragon, a Rock Dragon, lurked less than three kilometers north of a fortified stronghold outside the city. While the distance offered some temporary reprieve, the fact that the dragon was actively approaching posed a significant threat.

Lu Yu swooped down towards the stronghold. In a mere five seconds, he landed with a resounding boom, the impact sending a powerful gust of wind whipping through the area.

“What the heck just happened? Did someone unleash wind magic by accident?”

“No! Someone fell from the sky!”

The soldiers stationed at the stronghold scrambled in confusion.

“What is it? Did he fall off his flying mount? Poor guy! Quick, get him some help!”

“Help? At that speed, he’s probably nothing but mush!”

As the dust settled, Lu Yu’s imposing figure emerged, leaving the soldiers speechless.

“He… he’s alive?”

“d.a.m.n, is he made of steel or something?”

Turning towards the bewildered crowd, Lu Yu declared in a clear, strong voice, “A Rock Dragon is heading your way from the north. Prepare yourselves, it will attack soon!”

His words sent a shockwave of fear through the soldiers.

“A Rock Dragon? Why us? We haven’t done anything to provoke it!”

“Because it’s a rampaging dragon. No reason needed. It simply doesn’t like you.”
