"The evil dragon has actually awakened?" Ma Nan, who was guarding the cave entrance, muttered to himself after receiving the information.

But why is there no movement inside? Has she already been killed? It's truly remarkable that the little girl was able to send out a message before her death, given her strength.

She even said someone would protect her. It seems that the powerful Wu Yu was just bluffing. How could a dragon that has survived for thousands of years die at the hands of an unknown person?

Thinking he had grasped the situation, Ma Nan patiently waited for his teammates to provide support.

"Ring ring ring" "Ring ring ring"

The bells placed on the monk also started ringing.

The three men's faces darkened. The dragon had awakened; this was the worst-case scenario they had predicted. However, they had a contingency plan, so the mage calmly began to make arrangements.

“We’ll head over there to meet up with the boss right away. It seems we’ll all need to be there for this operation.”

Neither the priestess nor the thief raised any objections.

Upon hearing this, the thief casually tossed a bunch of keys onto a nearby table and said, "Let's go then. The men Dad brought will help us bring the sacrificial offering over."

The thief was referring to the living people chained behind him, including Layton and Ella.

This is a huge basement, which is also the cage that the thieves used to hold live sacrifices.

Apart from the two who had just been locked up, everyone else was only wrapped in thin rags, and their bodies had many bruises and swellings, indicating that they had been tortured.

The thief glanced around, and the few who were still awake fell silent, heads bowed, not daring to meet his gaze.

"You two go first. I'm fast and I'll catch up. I'll check here one more time. Although they're both chained with obsidian, I don't want anything to go wrong at such a crucial moment," the thief said.

The mage glanced at the thief and warned, "Then hurry up and don't do anything unnecessary. Control your lower body, or even if this plan succeeds, I'll still hold you accountable."

"Okay, you guys can go now," the thief said impatiently.

"Hmph." Without another word, the mage led the priestess and quickly ran towards the ground, not forgetting to give himself several speed-boosting buffs along the way.

After the mage left, the thief did not check the situation as he had said, but instead went straight to Soeira's place.

The thief greedily eyed Ella's voluptuous figure, then suddenly reached out his hand.

"Sizzle"

The thief's real target was not Ella, but Layton, who was chained up nearby.

A dagger appeared in the thief's hand without his knowledge. Enveloped in black battle aura, the dagger sliced ​​through the shackles binding Layton's hands as easily as cutting tofu. Then, as if by magic, he concealed the dagger.

"Pah, what a bunch of idiots! Is it worth risking your life for a dead old man? I'm a man who wants to live and enjoy the good life. Since you're so filial, then go to hell and keep that dead old man company." The thief spat on the ground and cursed viciously.

"Little girl, I'll let you go this time." The thief said this reluctantly to Ella, who was still unconscious, and then decisively turned and left.

As the thief passed through the only exit, he checked the key he had thrown on the table earlier, making sure anyone passing by would notice it.

Then he activated his battle qi, concealing himself in the shadows, and sped toward the Evil Dragon Cave.

······

"Hey, so your plan is just to sleep in there? I'm not bragging, I could give you a hundred of these brilliant strategies."

Bored, Wu Yu tried to get the dragon's attention by making sarcastic remarks, but in this dark space, no one responded to him.

After Wu Yu was banished to another dimension, the evil dragon stopped paying attention to him.

Wu Yu had expected the dragon to do something earth-shattering, but to his surprise, it first swept away the rubble behind it with its tail, and then, right in front of Wu Yu, lay down on the ground in a comfortable position and began to snore.

Seemingly finding the flames suspended in mid-air too dazzling and affecting his sleep quality, the dragon extinguished the only source of light not long after lying down.

The alternate dimension where Wu Yu was located also turned pitch black along with the outside environment.

In the pitch-black darkness, Wu Yu touched the smooth air wall and resolutely lay down as well.

Wu Yu could break this seal, but there was absolutely no need for it. Violet hadn't even arrived yet, and he was already crippling himself. Why rush things?

Wu Yu doesn't have many other strengths, but he's very confident in his patience. He can stay up all night to rank up in games, and apart from internet addicts, there aren't many normal people who can do that.

As the saying goes, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the evil dragon doesn't cause trouble, he's happy to be idle. Isn't it better to just lie there and wait for Violet to successfully steal the treasure?

Being confined in this environment with no view, Wu Yu experienced a bit of imprisonment.

Other senses improved, but Wu Yu didn't feel that his perception of battle qi had improved. However, after lying there for an unknown amount of time, Wu Yu slowly felt a hunger coming from his abdomen, and he put the package he used to store food in the cave.

That's why Wu Yu wanted the dragon to let him out earlier. Actually, Wu Yu didn't intend to run around; he just wanted to go out and find something to eat.

"Damn it, don't suddenly turn on the lights!"

Before Wu Yu could finish speaking, a sudden burst of bright light struck, almost blinding him.

Wu Yu covered his eyes with his hands, then opened them a crack. After his eyes adjusted to the light, he was able to see the situation clearly.

The flames were not created by a dragon, but burned on a torch.

As the person approached, Wu Yu finally saw her clearly; it was Violet, whom he had been worried about all along.

Why did she arrive alone? How are Layton and the others?

Various doubts arose in Wu Yu's mind, but now was not the time to ask questions, so Wu Yu quickly reminded him loudly.

"Watch out, this evil dragon is pretending to be asleep, run!"

However, Violet acted as if she hadn't heard anything and didn't slow down at all.

Realizing that her voice couldn't travel, Wu Yu quickly waved, and Violet happened to be walking towards her.

But when Violet got closer, Wu Yu tried to grab her hand, but his hand passed right through her body without any resistance.

Violet was like a phantom created by 3D imaging; Wu Yu was completely unable to interfere with her.

Wu Yu could only watch helplessly as Violet walked up to the dragon and shook a bell that couldn't make a sound.

Violet even dared to place her hand on the dragon's scales.

She touched the dragon's scales and walked around the dragon's body. When she reached the dragon's tail, she suddenly pressed the torch in her hand to the ground.

The fire went out, and Wu Yu was plunged into darkness again.
