Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

The earth dragon had never seen such a scene in its entire life.

Endless flames appeared around it at some point. The intense heat emitted by these flames roasted its skin, gradually heating up its body.

If it were any other creature suddenly placed in this environment, it would immediately jump anxiously and search for an escape route.

But this earth dragon... not only did it show no signs of anxiety, but it instead had a look of enjoyment on its face.

"Ugh..."

The earth dragon let out a soft hum, then found a comfortable spot and sat down directly, starting to enjoy the scorching sensation brought by the intense flames around it.

Lu Yu and the others were all stunned by this.

"Hey, sir, what kind of formation did you set up earlier? Could it be that the formation has failed?"

"I think I know where we went wrong."

After carefully observing the earth dragon's behavior, Lu Yu suddenly smiled bitterly.

In theory, the fire formation was the most powerful formation in his arsenal. Because he didn't know the true strength of the earth dragon, he prioritized power when setting it up.

But who would have thought that this earth dragon was actually of the fire attribute!

For a fire attribute earth dragon, the environment filled with fiery spiritual energy in the formation not only had no negative effects on it, but instead made it feel extremely comfortable.

No wonder this guy actually lay down in the formation.

If it weren't for hunger, it's possible that this guy could have made a permanent residence in this formation.

After hearing his explanation, the women were all shocked.

"Is that so? What should we do now?"

Bai Ling'er widened her eyes and looked into the formation, only to find that the earth dragon didn't show any intention of moving.

"Well... the formation is useless. Fire attacks, which are effective against it, would only make it more comfortable. So we'll have to enter the formation and assassinate it quietly."

Lu Yu pondered and said.

"Assassinate? That's not a bad idea. But how do you plan to enter? Once inside, the environment will change. Don't you think the earth dragon will notice?"

"Well... let's give it a try."

Lu Yu helplessly shrugged.

This kind of thing was naturally something he, as a man, had to do. As for whether it would alert the earth dragon, they could only see how the situation unfolded.

With the protection of the formation, even if he couldn't defeat the earth dragon, he might still have a chance to retreat.

However, the fact proved that deceiving a Nascent Soul stage earth dragon was not so easy.

Just as he stepped into the formation, the earth dragon raised its head.

"Is it you who's causing trouble? Come out, let's have a chat while I'm in a good mood."

"This..."

Lu Yu had only taken one step, and now one leg was hanging in mid-air. He didn't know whether to continue forward or retreat.

"If the formation you set up isn't the fire formation I like, you would already be dead! So come out while I'm in a good mood, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Well... alright, let's talk then?"

Lu Yu didn't expect that not only did the earth dragon sense his presence, but it could also speak.

Being able to speak was always a sign of intelligence. Only highly intelligent spirit beasts could communicate with humans using language.

Lu Yu felt that this earth dragon might not be as simple as he had imagined.

"You humans must have come to me for a reason. So, what is it?"

Seeing Lu Yu emerge from the formation, the earth dragon, whose body was emitting a red glow, slightly raised its head and asked.

"This... we heard that there is an earth dragon here, so we came to take a look."

Telling lies was not Lu Yu's strong suit. Even he himself probably didn't believe the words he just said.

The earth dragon didn't believe it either.

It disdainfully exhaled a breath, and that hot air turned into a ball of flames within the formation.

"Hoo..."

"Not telling the truth? Then you came for me. In that case..."

"Don't... don't act rashly. When we came, we didn't know you were an intelligent dragon. Otherwise, we definitely wouldn't have come."

"Arrogant humans."

Although the earth dragon knew that Lu Yu and his group had ulterior motives, its mood instantly improved when it was called a "dragon."

The immense pressure from earlier was instantly lifted.

Lu Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Facing a Nascent Soul stage spiritual beast with intelligence head-on was not something an ordinary person could do.

"Now that you're here, do me a favor. About a hundred miles west of this valley, there is an inconspicuous cave where a flame grass grows. Bring me that flame grass."

"Flame grass?"

Lu Yu furrowed his brows slightly.

He came here to obtain earth dragon meat, not to help the earth dragon find something to eat.

Since he couldn't defeat the earth dragon and the other party didn't have any hostility, shouldn't they just part ways?

What's the reasoning behind asking him to fetch a flame grass?

Moreover, the earth dragon itself was at the Nascent Soul stage. How much effort would it take to fetch a flame grass?

"Well, if you bring me the flame grass, I can fulfill one small wish for you. Alright, go ahead. Try to return within two days, or else your woman will probably suffer."

Just as the earth dragon spoke, Ling Tianxin, Wei Xiaoxian, and the others felt a strong attraction coming from the other side. They were uncontrollably pulled towards the earth dragon.

It reached out its hand to speak, but was forcefully pushed back by a powerful aura.

This was the earth dragon asserting its dominance.

Clearly, it wasn't that it couldn't defeat them, but rather that it simply couldn't be bothered to take action.

Lu Yu looked at the several women, then glanced at the earth dragon lying on the ground seemingly enjoying the warmth from the formation. He sighed softly.

"Well, I'll give it a try then."

Lu Yu nodded.

The situation was stronger than the individual. His several women were being held captive by the earth dragon, so what else could he do?

He could only helplessly go and do the earth dragon's bidding, hoping that it would have a change of heart and release them.

What does it mean to lose both the wife and the soldiers? It seemed like he was experiencing it now.

With a comforting look in his eyes towards Ling Tianxin and the others, he turned around and walked out of the valley.

He had to hurry.

No one knew what the earth dragon was thinking. What if it changed its mind halfway and harmed them?

As for obtaining the flame grass, Lu Yu didn't think it would be too difficult.

Leaving the earth dragon's valley like this, he ran westward again for about a hundred miles, and arrived at a small mountain that wasn't particularly tall.

Calculating the distance, it should be around here.

He carefully searched around the small mountain, and soon found a hidden cave on the shady side of the mountain.

"This is it!"
