My starting summon is a small skeleton - Chapter 400: 397 Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm

Chapter 400: 397 Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm

Epic 0 Star power was actually considered very strong.

At least it was much more than Lu Wu had now.

If Lu Wu had to fight with Dudu now, he reckoned he probably couldn’t beat Dudu.

After all, he had seen Dudu make a move.

With a casual wave of her hand, she shattered two Ultimate Level defense skills.

The only hope for Lu Wu to beat Dudu was “Slaughter of Living Beings,” but the skill was too deadly, and Lu Wu couldn’t control it himself, so it was impossible for Lu Wu to use it against Dudu, right?

This led to the conclusion that if Lu Wu genuinely faced Dudu, he would definitely be at an absolute disadvantage.

This really puzzled Lu Wu.

He had been pushing his limits to the extreme for several months, encountering all sorts of dangers and adventures, yet in the end, he still wasn’t a patch on Dudu calling out for Mom.

It left Lu Wu somewhat autistic, doubting his own cheat.

The only consolation for Lu Wu was that Dudu was his.

He might not be able to beat Dudu, but he could cling to Dudu’s thigh, although he guessed that with the current cold Dudu’s state, if he dared to actually reach out and grab her thigh, he might get hit. But no matter what, that thigh was his.

Moreover, although ‘Leng Dudu’ hadn’t actually offered her leg for Lu Wu to hold, she had prepared a surprise for him.

“Here, take this!”

“What’s this?”

Lu Wu took the token handed over by Dudu and, while he asked casually, he had already seen the attributes of the item.

…

Item: Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm Token

Level: Epic

Description: Well, there’s no description. It’s just an instance token.

…

Upon seeing the attributes of the token, Lu Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely guessing what it was about.

Leng Dudu’s subsequent explanation also confirmed his guess.

“Little Flood Dragon is in there. Its power should have broken through to the Epic Level by now. You go and bring it out.”

So it was Little Flood Dragon!

Lu Wu was both shocked and delighted; he had thought that before the celebration, he wouldn’t be able to advance to Epic Level, but unexpectedly, another opportunity had come his way.

Surprised and delighted, Lu Wu still had some doubts, “But, your celebration seems to be starting in a couple of days. Can I make it in time?”

Dudu turned her head slightly, “The Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm isn’t that far from Fucheng. Two days should be enough. If really necessary, I can still delay the celebration a bit.

You’d better move fast, though, postponing isn’t easy.”

“I’ll head over in a moment. I’ll come back as soon as I can.

By the way, about the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm, how did you…”

“I can’t be away for too long now. I must go back first. We’ll talk after you return.”

Lu Wu originally wanted to ask about the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm.

But Dudu checked the time, interrupted Lu Wu’s questioning, and then got up to leave.

This made Lu Wu quite melancholic.

The feelings have faded, haven’t they?

This girl now even interrupts him.

Is it like with men who become bad when they get money, women become bad when they have power?

Lu Wu felt sour in his heart, when the departing Dudu suddenly changed her expression; Leng Dudu turned into Silly Dudu, and with her signature silly smile, she turned back and ‘gnawed’ at Lu Wu’s face.

That bite left Lu Wu’s mind blank.

By the time he came around, Dudu had already run off.

Watching Dudu, who had disappeared from sight, and covering the gnawed side of his face, Lu Wu could only shake his head: “Really can’t deal with you.”

Following that, Lu Wu began to take action. Carrying the token for the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm, he got up and left Fucheng, heading toward the sea area Dudu had told him about.

At that moment, Lu Wu’s mind was consumed with finding the Little Flood Dragon as quickly as possible, breaking through to the Epic level as quickly as possible, and returning as quickly as possible.

Beyond that, there was nothing else in Lu Wu’s head.

He hadn’t given much thought to many things.

He hadn’t even considered whether Dudu was giving him the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm token at this time to send him away.

It wasn’t that his head wasn’t working or that he lacked sufficient caution.

It was because the other person was Dudu.

In fact, Lu Wu was always very cautious, even to the point of having a bit of a persecution complex.

This was most severe when he was forced to fake his death and leave Area 1.

Back then, he saw everyone as a troublemaker, and he thought anyone might harm him.

Even facing Cimu Qingzi, he remained fully vigilant.

Despite Cimu Qingzi having died once for him, Lu Wu never let his guard down. The only one who could make Lu Wu drop his guard was Dudu.

Dudu could be said to be the person Lu Wu trusted the most in this world.

His trust in Dudu was almost without reservation.

Even when Dudu developed a second personality, an exceptionally bizarre and ridiculous situation, Lu Wu trusted him without reserve.

Not to mention the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm token that Dudu took out at this time.

When Lu Wu had briefly established a connection with the Little Flood Dragon, he indeed felt a powerful force emanating from it, so Lu Wu had no doubt about it in this regard.

He had not even questioned Dudu about where the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm token came from.

As soon as Dudu left, he rushed off to the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm like a simpleton with the token, without any clear direction.

He hadn’t noticed at all that when he left, a figure stood under the moonlight, watching him depart.

“Is this the last time I’ll see him?”

With a soft sigh, the figure in the moonlight vanished from sight.

…

Jiangnan, Fucheng.

In a certain villa, a few figures gathered together.

Someone took the initiative to ask, “What’s so urgent that you called us here?”

“Take a look at this first.”

The convenor passed down an item, and as the people present frowned and examined it, their expressions changed.

One person even tore up the item on the spot: “This is utter nonsense, a frame-up by the Education Bureau. These bastards are willing to resort to anything to prevent the formation of the University Alliance. I absolutely refuse to believe this narrative.”

No one paid attention to his fury.

All eyes were focused on the item in their hands, their eyes shining with various kinds of light, their expressions fluctuating.

Finally, a second person raised their head.

“This is no longer a matter we can deal with impulsively.”

“What do you mean by that?” the one who had torn up the item glared menacingly, as if ready to pounce and devour the other. At this point, another person stood up to calm him down.

“Old Zhang, don’t get agitated.

Now is not the time to be agitated. We should think about what we are going to do next, how to deal with this thing.”

“What do you mean, deal with this thing?

Burn this piece of rubbish and be done with it.”

At this point, a fourth person spoke up: “Burn it? That’s easy for you to say. We can burn it, but can others? Old Zhang, this isn’t an issue we can solve by evasion. We have to face it!”

“Confront? How are we supposed to confront?” Old Zhang’s eyebrows raised in question.

At this moment, the convener spoke, “Just let that person give everyone an explanation, right during the celebration!”

As these words were uttered, Old Zhang’s expression changed.

“No, absolutely not, this will disrupt the celebration. I will not allow you to do this.”

Another person began to persuade, “Old Zhang, considering the circumstances, do we have any other choice?

This is the best solution at the moment. It’s better for us to take action than to let others detonate the situation.”

“Shut up, I see now that you lot have been bought by the Education Bureau, you’re betraying Jiangnan University. I will not allow you to do this. I’m going to inform Dudu right now…”

Old Zhang didn’t get to finish his sentence when someone beside him pressed an item against his waist. A flash of electricity followed, and the light from the electricity revealed Old Zhang’s face.

This Old Zhang was none other than Zhang Wentao, the president of Jiangnan University.

Apart from Zhang Wentao, those present were also the higher-ups of Jiangnan University.

As the flash of electricity vanished, Zhang Wentao fell. The faint light failed to illuminate the faces of those few people.

…

At the same time Zhang Wentao fell during the flash of electricity,

On the other side, at the Jiangnan Governor’s Mansion,

Jiang Yuexing was welcoming an unexpected visitor.

Similarly, she received a document just like the one Zhang Wentao saw before he fell.

Looking at the document, Jiang Yuexing’s brow furrowed deeply.

“Isn’t this a bit too much? To use such despicable means.”

“Governor Jiang, what do you mean by that?

Don’t tell me you think we’re framing her?

Take a good look at this document and recall her actions over the past few months. Do you think we’re framing her?”

The person opposite her made a comment that left Jiang Yuexing at a loss for words,

After struggling for a long time, she could only say, “I want evidence. If you don’t have proof, I will never allow you to touch her.”

Th𝗶𝙨 𝗰hɒpṯ𝑒r ḭ𝑠 pɵѕ𝑡𝕖𝘥 b𝙮 Ҡ𝑖𝕥𝑒𝓃𝙤ν𝖾ḷ

“As for evidence, we do have some. It’s just that we don’t need to provide it to you. Furthermore,”

At this point, the person opposite Jiang Yuexing paused, a mocking smile playing on their lips, “You must understand one thing, I’m not here to ask for your opinion, I’m here on the orders of the Elder Council.

This operation is authorized by the Elder Council. If you want to keep your seat as Governor, it would be best not to do anything irrational.”

Having said that, the person in front of Jiang Yuexing stood up and left, disregarding the changing expression on her face.

As she watched the person leave, Jiang Yuexing’s fists clenched tightly, veins on her pale forehead bulging time and again, but ultimately, she had to unclench her hands.

Then, Jiang Yuexing hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone to call Dudu.

“They…”

Jiang Yuexing had barely uttered a word when she was interrupted.

“I know, don’t worry about anything. Just watch.”

The call was then hung up, and listening to the dial tone, a deep feeling of powerlessness surged in Jiang Yuexing’s heart.

She felt as if she couldn’t catch her breath, the weight pressing down on her chest.

What to do? What should she do? What could she do?

Lost and helpless, Jiang Yuexing somehow thought of Lu Wu, who was supposed to be dead by now, and subconsciously dialed his number.

The moment she made the call, Jiang Yuexing remembered Lu Wu was already dead.

“Yes, he’s already dead.

Besides, even if he were still alive, what could he do in this situation?”

Thinking so, Jiang Yuexing was about to hang up the phone in her hand.

At that moment, the call was suddenly answered.

From the other end of the phone came the sound of a small Skeleton’s teeth clacking.

(Someone finally phoned Little Skeleton. Who are you, and what do you want?)

…

Off the coast of Fucheng.

After obtaining the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm Token, Lu Wu immediately rushed to the location, taking a little over two hours to find his destination.

“This should be the place, right?”

Lu Wu glanced around, double-checking to confirm there shouldn’t be any issues.

He then took out the token.

“How is this thing supposed to be used? Directly charge it?”

Mmm, when he got the thing from Dudu, Lu Wu’s caution and IQ had both dropped, and he hadn’t asked then. Now, taking it out, he was a bit clueless.

Luckily, as a professional Cultivation Master, Lu Wu quickly figured out how to use it.

“There we go.”

While speaking, the token in Lu Wu’s hand burst into a brilliant light.

Then, a dragon’s roar full of resentment and hatred that sent shivers down his spine echoed, and a black Dragon Gate appeared out of nowhere.

“It’s open!”

Looking at the black Dragon Gate, a smile spread across Lu Wu’s face.

However, the most excited wasn’t Lu Wu.

It was probably the Little Flood Dragon inside the Prisoner Dragon Secret Realm.

The very moment this black Dragon Gate was opened, the Little Flood Dragon, imprisoned in the deepest part, sensed Lu Wu’s aura.

In that instant, the Little Flood Dragon, which had almost fallen into complete despair after being trapped for several months, burst with a strong sense of hope. It, from the deepest imprisonment, let out a joyous dragon roar.

The sound traveled from the deepest part of the Secret Realm to where the black Dragon Gate was.

“Yo, quite spirited, aren’t you?”

Recognizing it as his own Little Flood Dragon from the roar, Lu Wu’s face showed a smile, preparing to step through the black Dragon Gate and rescue the little guy.

However, just as Lu Wu was about to step through, the Contract with Little Skeleton deeply embedded in his soul suddenly trembled.

Consequently, a rush of information was transmitted through the Contract.

This unexpected transmission of information confused Lu Wu, who didn’t remember to look, and he stepped into the black Dragon Gate.

With that step, Lu Wu immediately felt a terrifying power working on his foot, pulling him in.

Caught off guard, half of Lu Wu’s body was already pulled into it.

Normally, this wouldn’t be problematic; he was planning on going in anyway.

But at that moment, Lu Wu saw the information passed from Little Skeleton, which caused his face to change. Instinctively reaching out, he grabbed the edge of the Dragon Gate, forcefully stopping himself from entering the Secret Realm.

Then, with explosive strength, Lu Wu yanked his entire body out.

This scene was sensed by the imprisoned Little Flood Dragon underground. The little creature blinked in shock, then let out a series of roars, urging Lu Wu to come in and save it.

Lu Wu understood but he couldn’t go in.

“Sorry, I can’t go in right now.”

As he spoke, Lu Wu pulled himself entirely out of the Secret Realm. Sensing Lu Wu had left, the Little Flood Dragon felt abandoned, that Lu Wu didn’t want it anymore. In utter despair, it let out a hysterical wail, with large tears rolling down.

And just as the Little Flood Dragon felt hopeless, an arm stained with blood reached into the Secret Realm again.

“Dudu needs me, so I can’t come in, but I won’t give up on you. Take this, hopefully, it can help you escape. I need you on my side too.”

Saying this, Lu Wu opened his hand, and a drop of golden blood fell down.

That was the essence of the Epic Dragon Heart Lu Wu had devoured. He had opened his own heart and extracted the most quintessential unrefined essence of blood he had yet to refine for the Little Flood Dragon…

…

Is there no one left?

I haven’t talked about this chapter recently; if there’s no one around, I guess it’s time to let myself go.
