Chapter 552 Analyzing the clues

When Lu Yu mentioned they were being watched at the mine, they all started panicking.

The people started to discuss animatedly as Lu Yu’s words worried them.

“The mines are being targeted? Isn’t this scary?”

“It must be the Truth Department. They are all strong, and what if they take revenge?”

“It seems that place is dangerous. How can we continue to mine in this situation?”

“Haha, if you guys aren’t going to dig, I’ll do it!”

“It’s such a waste not to do such a profitable business!”

“The ores here could be easily sold for a high price. The most valuable ones are the Claine Crystals. If you sell them to others in these ancient ruins, you can get a good price for them. There are also all kinds of other crystals. Every bit you can mine is a bit of profit!”

Driven by huge interests, even if strong enemies surrounded them, they would still bite the bullet and continue mining.

Apart from the miscellaneous crystals, at least half of the remaining Claine Crystals in the mines would have to be handed over, and Lu Yu could use this portion as he pleased.

After all, these mines wouldn’t even exist without Lu Yu, let alone allowing them to mine these crystals.

Moreover, Lu Yu only wanted the Claine crystal. He had many other uses for it.

Lu Yu looked at the crowd and said, “Now, you can all go back and continue your work. Continue to work hard on your cultivation, as there’s only half a month left.”

“Aye, sir!”

“Let’s hurry back and rest. We’ll continue mining early tomorrow morning.”

“There’s also accommodation at the mines. I’ll move there tomorrow.”

The group of people talked as they dispersed and returned to their respective places.

After everyone left, Lu Yu looked at the time. It was already eight o’clock in the evening. The sky had darkened, and it was pitch black outside.

It would take a lot of work to find someone in such an environment.

Xu Yuan came to Lu Yu’s side and said, “Why don’t you go and rest first? We can search for Wang Meng tomorrow.”

Lu Yu pondered for a long time and finally shook his head. “Let’s start looking for him now. We don’t have a night to waste.”

Lu Yu said as he took out the teleportation scroll.

Han Xuefei also came over and reminded him, “The outside is too vast. We’ll likely return empty-handed. If we’re going out to search, we must be prepared.”

Lu Yu nodded. “Of course. We must sleep outside in the wilderness if we can’t find him.”

Lu Yu opened the teleportation scroll and looked at Xu Yuan and Han Xuefei. “Let’s go.”

The two of them nodded simultaneously and then took out their scrolls.

The next moment, the three of them unfurled their scrolls, and a burst of light flashed as it swallowed the three.

The three disappeared in an instant, leaving Jiang Ning alone. She silently prayed for Lu Yu and the others, hoping they wouldn’t encounter any danger outside.

Lu Yu had returned to the mines.

He was halfway up the mountain and could overlook the entire basin.

There were a few lights at the foot of the mountain, flickering around the base. The lights were on there, and the people who came to mine should be having dinner there.

Lu Yu didn’t walk down the mountains. Instead, he walked toward the tunnel near the mountainside.

The surrounding terrain was dangerous, and only this tunnel was a possible route to enter and exit the place.

Of course, if one had a flying skill, one could fly over the mountains and enter this place.

Jiang Lengyue, for example, could do this easily.

As Lu Yu walked toward the tunnel, he took out his walkie-talkie and called Yun Zirou.

“Hey, can you hear me? Are you with Su Qing now?”

Lu Yu asked.

Soon, Yun Zirou’s worried voice was heard.

“Su Qing and I are in the mine. Wang Meng is missing. What should we do? Should we go out to find him?”

“Of course, I’m going out to find him,” Lu Yu quickly replied. “I’m already at the mines. We’ll meet at the tunnel!”

Yun Zirou hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly, “I’m afraid it’s not a good idea to go out in the middle of the night to look for someone.”

Lu Yu continued. “It’s fine. Come over and we will start the search as soon as possible. Don’t waste too much time.”

“Alright, Su Qing and I will be there soon.”

After the conversation ended, Lu Yu and the other two arrived at the tunnel.

Two lanterns were hung at the tunnel entrance, and a new guard was standing there.

When the guard saw Lu Yu walking over, he hurriedly greeted him, “Good day, Captain!”

Lu Yu nodded in acknowledgment and walked into the tunnel, standing at the entrance.

The three waited for a while, and soon, Yun Zirou and Su Qing arrived.

The two of them walked into the tunnel and stood before Lu Yu.

Yun Zirou was dressed in a black, tight-fitting sports suit, and her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. Her outfit was perfect for a night operation.

On the other hand, Su Qing was dressed ordinarily. She was dressed in casual clothes, with a color palette of gray and white.

“Alright, the five of us will be looking for Wang Meng.”

“Although the environment outside is complicated by an ever-changing terrain, I can accurately find clues about Wang Meng’s traces quickly.”

Hearing Lu Yu’s words, the four of them smiled. If Lu Yu could find a clue, the efficiency of their search would increase tremendously!

They all knew Lu Yu’s eyes weren’t ordinary, so they all believed his words.

“Alright, let’s move out now. We’ll move along the tunnel.”

Lu Yu took the lead and started to walk along the dark tunnel.

In the tunnel, the surrounding crystals emitted a dim light that illuminated their surroundings.

Soon, the five of them walked out of the tunnel and came outside.

Standing on the mountainside, a gust of cold wind blew onto their faces.

Looking down, it was endless darkness, with only a few scattered lights in the distance that were probably from Elizabeth’s camp.

Lu Yu looked around at his feet. The dim light didn’t affect his ability to track his surroundings.

Lu Yu activated his Eye of the Dragon God and began to scan his surroundings. Soon, he saw all the traces in his surroundings.

[ Clue: Do you want to analyze the feces of the Red-Tailed birds? ]

[ Clue: Do you want to analyze the Snow Leopard’s footprints? ]

[ Clue: Do you want to analyze the Yak hair? ]

[…]

A series of clues popped out, giving Lu Yu a headache. These clues weren’t what he wanted, as all he wanted was to track Wang Meng.

However, at that moment, a new clue appeared in front of Lu Yu.

[ Clue: Three human footprints. Do you want to analyze it? ]

“Analyze it!” Lu Yu immediately said.

[ Analyzing … ]

[ Analysis complete. Do you wish to display the route? ]

“Display.”

Lu Yu muttered again.

Bright orange footprints began to appear before his eyes.

These marks showed the way forward one by one.

However, in reality, these footprints had already been covered by snow. Others couldn’t see it, but Lu Yu could tell there were footprints there!
