Chapter 520 Someone Out In The Mountains
Lu Yu was conversing with his walkie-talkie when he suddenly felt a slight tremor in his surroundings.
“There’s movement. Something’s wrong.”
Lu Yu took down the walkie-talkie and looked around carefully.
!!
Xu Yuan and the others also looked around. It was exactly the same as before, and there was no change at all.
“I don’t think so? We’re the only ones here.”
“Could it be that someone who can turn invisible has appeared again?”
“No way, didn’t they all die?”
Lu Yu shook his head. “No, it’s the ground shaking. Can you feel the tremors?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately quieted down. He stayed still and began to feel the vibration under his feet.
At that moment, Han Xuefei released her telekinesis and pressed it against the ground to feel the vibration too.
Soon, Han Xuefei frowned.
“There is indeed a slight vibration, but where is it coming from? Could it be that this is a precursor to an earthquake?”
Han Xuefei’s question piqued the curiosity of the others.
“You felt an earthquake? Is it coming from a distance away?” Xu Yuan asked.
Han Xuefei shook her head. “It’s far. I’m not sure, but I can feel that the vibration is getting more and more intense. In other words, the source of the vibration is approaching us.”
Lu Yu immediately became alert.
“They said an ancient being is sleeping here, and he must be in the mine!”
“It’s likely that the reason for the earthquake is that that being is preparing to come to the surface after waking up!”
Lu Yu’s analysis made Xu Yuan and the others nod their heads, understanding that it made sense.
“Shit, doesn’t that mean we’re going to have to fight that person? That bastard is going to be strong!”
Wang Meng commented with vigor. When they defeated Countess Irene last time, they obtained a powerful magic staff.
If he could defeat another one of these ancient beings again, he would gain more.
Of course, with opportunities come risks. They weren’t sure about the enemy’s strength yet, but if they were too strong, Lu Yu and his team might not even have the chance to escape once they couldn’t defeat the enemy.
Mountains surrounded them. Unless they had enough time to use the teleportation scroll, the only exit out of these mountains was through the tunnel they came in.
“Get ready for battle! Be prepared to face the enemy!”
Lu Yu gave his orders.
At that moment, Lu Yu’s walkie-talkie made a sound.
“How’s the situation on your side? Did something happen?”
Lu Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, “We’ve encountered an enemy here. We need to deal with them first before we can go out and find you. You wait there…”
After saying that, Lu Yu put away the walkie-talkie and started to walk in the direction of the mine.
…
At that moment, on the other side of the mountain, a figure stood in place in the white snow, and she was somewhat at a loss.
She wore a thick bear-skin coat but still didn’t look very tall.
She held the walkie-talkie in her hand tightly and frowned.
She had fair cheeks, a pair of deep, alluring eyes, a tall nose, and an exquisite cherry-like mouth, making her look both beautiful and cute.
“What should I do…”
She was a little flustered, as she seemed to have sensed something was wrong.
A sudden, loud noise startled her when she was near the snowy mountains. A huge avalanche occurred, and she was buried in the snow.
It wasn’t easy for her to struggle out of the snow.
The situation in the depths of the mountain range made her worried. What exactly was happening there?
“This is troubling. I must report this to the princess!”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and returned the way she came…
At that moment, Lu Yu walked toward the mine.
Suddenly, cracks began to appear under his feet. These cracks spread rapidly, causing the surrounding crystals to break.
Lu Yu stopped and looked around, getting cautious.
“There are cracks in the ground, and they’re covering a large area!”
Xu Yuan and the others quickly stopped walking. They looked around and could feel something big was about to happen.
At that moment, Lu Yu saw a ray of light moving toward him.
He focused his eyes and saw that it was a beetle that had crawled out of the crack.
Surprisingly, the beetle’s body was covered in a layer of tiny crystal fragments.
The beetle was the size of a palm.
Soon, more beetles began to crawl out of the cracks.
“What is this thing?”
“Are there that many bugs underground?”
“Hey, there are too many of these bugs!”
They cried out in surprise while Lu Yu opened his Eye of the Dragon God and looked at the surrounding bugs.
He swept his gaze over and quickly saw the origin of these bugs.
“They are Crystal Devouring Beetles. They feed on crystals and often appear in places with many crystals.”
Lu Yu’s words made them all nod.
“These bugs should be harmless. After all, they eat crystals, not meat.”
Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and nodded. “That’s right. However, we have to find the source of this phenomenon!”
Lu Yu continued to walk forward and still planned on entering the mines. If the being who had been sealed for so long happened to wake up and if Lu Yu were unable to kill him in time, it would be a pity!
Therefore, Lu Yu mustn’t miss this opportunity!
If he could kill the enemy here and now, he could take over the mines.
The ores buried underground were highly precious!
Just those Claine Crystals alone were enough to make countless people fight over them!
Wouldn’t they make a fortune using these crystals to trade with other teams?
Although Lu Yu had enough wealth, it was still a plus to be able to exchange for more equipment and weapons.
Lu Yu shook his head. The battle hadn’t started yet, so he tried not to overthink; the upcoming battle was more important.
He had only taken two steps when several cracks suddenly appeared in front of him. With a loud boom, the ample open space in front of Lu Yu collapsed!
The area that had collapsed was about the size of a basketball court.
Lu Yu stopped and took two steps back.
“Did the mines collapse?”
Wang Meng asked curiously.
Lu Yu shook his head. “No, that’s impossible. Even if it collapsed, it wouldn’t collapse like this. A large circular area has collapsed. How is it possible that a tunnel would collapse like this?”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, another large piece of land in front of him collapsed again.
Lu Yu and the others carefully took two steps forward and stood beside the pit.
When they looked down, they were astounded to see that the soil and stones looked like they had been swallowed, wriggling their way down.
