Chapter 528 Connecting Two Places

Lu Yu walked toward the stronghold and arrived at the gate; the huge iron gate slowly rose.

As soon as the iron gate was lifted, Lu Yu saw Jiang Ning standing opposite him, looking at him.

Once the iron gate was lifted entirely, Jiang Ning hurriedly walked out to Lu Yu.

“Welcome back, captain…”

She suddenly realized something and looked around. She asked curiously, “Just… just you alone?”

“Where are the others? They… don’t tell me?” Jiang Ning asked in surprise. She thought Lu Yu was the only one who had returned, and the others had all died!

Lu Yu saw her shocked expression and knew she must have misunderstood something. He quickly explained, “Don’t overthink about it. They’re all fine. It’s just that I came back early.”

Jiang Ning heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. “That’s good…”

“What’s the situation?” Jiang Ning asked as she followed Lu Yu into the stronghold.

“We found a stronghold of the Truth Department,” Lu Yu answered casually. “We cleared out all the people there. Now the mines are ours.”

Jiang Ning was excited to hear that.

“This is great! The mines you’re talking about, are those the mines that can produce Claine Crystals?”

“That’s right; that’s the one,” Lu Yu confirmed with a nod.

“That’s great! With these crystals, it’ll be easier for us to trade with the other teams!”

“That’s right,” Lu Yu agreed. “That’s why I’m here to mark the teleportation point.”

After entering the stronghold, Lu Yu took out his teleportation scroll.

Half of the formation on the scroll was already drawn, and the other half was blank. As long as Lu Yu injected energy into it, the scroll would record the current coordinates and connect the two teleportation points.

“It’s half done. Do you want to connect to the teleportation point?” Jiang Ning was elated!

The discovery of the mines was much more profitable than her operation of the stronghold!

Lu Yu began to inject energy into the scroll. With a flash of light, the drawing on the scroll was completed.

Looking at the completed scroll, Lu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

“It’s great that I can bring people over to the mines now.”

Lu Yu took out another teleportation scroll; the new scroll was blank.

All he had to do was copy the finished teleportation scroll onto the blank scroll.

The new teleportation scroll could be copied in batches and distributed to everyone in the stronghold.

The advantage of this teleport scroll was that it could teleport to two places, including the stronghold of their upper house and the mines.

Of course, Lu Yu could also just mark the mines or directly teleport to the mines from other places, but it would not be as convenient and practical as this.

Lu Yu gave Jiang Ning a teleportation scroll after he was done.

Jiang Ning smiled excitedly after receiving the scroll from Lu Yu.

“I’ll get someone to copy more, and then I’ll lead a team to the mines!”

After she finished speaking, she looked at a team member beside her and said, “Come here, take this scroll, and make a few more copies.”

“Alright, vice-captain…”

Lu Yu patted Jiang Ning’s thin shoulder and said, “Come with me to the mines to see the situation first; then, you can think about how many people you want to bring.”

Jiang Ning nodded in excitement. “That’s great! If we can open a portal, we can pull more people into the mines to work!”

Lu Yu also smiled and nodded. “We’ll talk about that later.”

Lu Yu then took out a scroll and opened it. “Let’s teleport over.”

Some team members passing by noticed the two of them and couldn’t help but start a conversation with them.

“Vice-captain sure looks excited. I wonder what good thing has happened?”

“Seeing how happy she is, she must have found some kind of treasure.”

“How long will the captain be staying here this time?”

“Let’s just focus on our cultivation. It’s no use for us to fuss about the two captains.”

At that moment, the scroll glowed, and Lu Yu disappeared on the spot.

Jiang Ning then opened her scroll and disappeared with Lu Yu.

Back to the distant snow mountains in the north.

A flash of light appeared in the middle of a crystal field, and two figures materialized.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise when she saw the crystals and snow-capped mountains around her.

“Wow, this place is so beautiful!”

She exclaimed and couldn’t help but shed tears of excitement. The scene before her was all too beautiful, but the few corpses on the ground were an eyesore.

“These are the mines, and those in the distance are the mining caves. There’s a base on the hillside over there where you can live temporarily.”

As Lu Yu spoke, he took out a scroll. “This scroll has the coordinates of the mines, and our stronghold marked on it. In other words, it can only be teleported to these two coordinates.”

This was one of the restrictions of the teleportation array. Under such restrictions, the people in the mines could only reach their stronghold directly through this scroll.

The people in the stronghold must only use such scrolls to come here.

This was mainly due to Lu Yu’s consideration of some special circumstances.

For example, if a team member were apprehended while carrying a teleportation scroll and the enemy teleported directly to the mines with the teleportation scroll, it would be bad.

Thus, with the added restrictions, they can only use this scroll from the upper house stronghold.

“Bring as many people here as you can when you return later. Then, go and make a deal with the others to earn our first pot of gold.”

In these ancient ruins, money was no longer important. What was important were the items. If they could exchange these crystals for information or equipment, that would be pretty good.

For example, the gift Elizabeth gave Lu Yu at their first interaction was a piece of information. It was with this information that Lu Yu was able to defeat Countess Irene.

Jiang Ning looked around and sighed again. “I didn’t expect the Truth Department to operate such a huge mine here.”

“There are so many potholes around here. You must have encountered a tough battle.”

She looked at Lu Yu and smiled. “I’ll go back and organize the team. I’ll be back soon!”

Lu Yu nodded and didn’t say anything.

On the other hand, Jiang Ning glanced around the mine, trying to estimate how many idle members she could bring.

After some calculations, she took out a teleportation scroll and teleported back.

After Jiang Ning left, Lu Yu walked toward the mine.

At that moment, not far away, Xu Yuan and the others ran over after seeing Lu Yu’s figure.

“Brother, it’s too scary inside the mine!”

Wang Meng was the first to come up to Lu Yu.

“Is there anyone alive in the mine?” Lu Yu quickly asked.

However, Wang Meng shook his head in regret.
