Chapter 946 Tracking Bloodstains

After Lu Yu released his Dragon’s Might, he scared away all the ferocious beasts surrounding them.

“Let’s continue. We won’t encounter any danger now.”

As Lu Yu spoke, he continued walking forward.

Helen put away her staff and did not create any light.

The four continued forward. As they went deeper into the forest, the surrounding environment became darker and darker, and their visibility gradually decreased.

Gradually, the Empress started to lead the way with her night vision.

After walking for some distance, they saw a small path.

“I can finally see a path. If we follow it, we should be heading toward the castle where the President lives.”

As Lu Yu spoke, he stepped onto the path and started to move forward.

However, the Empress’s footsteps slowed down before she could take a step.

She frowned and looked at the ground before her; her expression firmed up.

Lu Yu saw something was wrong with her and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Did you find anything?”

The Empress walked forward slowly and cautiously, afraid that she would startle something.

Seeing this, Lu Yu and the other two remained silent.

The Empress squatted on the ground and looked at it carefully.

Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her breathing slowed down. She looked anxious.

“There are blood stains here. Moreover, they look like they have just been spilled and haven’t solidified!”

She carefully reached out her hand and placed it on the bloodstain.

She raised her finger and could clearly see a layer of red liquid covering her finger.

“Hm. This blood had just spilled not long ago.”

The Empress turned around and looked at Lu Yu, saying, “Someone must have fought here!”

Lu Yu quickly walked over and looked at her finger carefully.

“These bloodstains might not be human. They might also be bloodstains left behind by animals.”

Lu Yu walked over and looked at the Empress calmly.

The Empress took a deep breath to calm herself down.

“That’s also a possibility. Let’s look around more; we might see something else.”

As she spoke, she observed her surroundings seriously.

Shirley and Helen raised their vigilance and carefully observed their surroundings.

Lu Yu glanced around and saw the hidden clues in the surrounding environment.

“Alright, the blood was definitely left by a human.”

Hearing this, the Empress looked at Lu Yu, and so did Shirley and Helen. The three of them looked confused.

Lu Yu’s sudden decisiveness surprised them.

Lu Yu explained, “Look over there, footprints. There are no signs of animals around, so it is obvious that someone was here just now.”

The Empress looked in Lu Yu’s direction, and her eyes widened.

There was a layer of inconspicuous footprints. Judging from the footprints, it was probably left by an adult man with a tall physique.

The Empress looked at Lu Yu. “Yeah, this blood stain must be left by a human.”

Shirley suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and she couldn’t help but tremble.

Helen also looked around nervously.

“It’s not a good sign. Someone probably died here.”

The Empress said it with certainty.

Lu Yu continued forward. “Don’t jump to conclusions yet. We’ll see what’s going on when we follow the footprints.”

Lu Yu began to lead the way forward. The tiny footprints were highlighted in his eyes, guiding him along.

After walking for some distance, Lu Yu could see that the bloodstains on the ground were increasing.

Someone must have been injured; he bled as he walked toward the castle.

Someone from the Mage Guild.

After walking for a while, Lu Yu suddenly stopped.

Lu Yu’s sudden stop made the Empress and the other two pause. They didn’t dare take a step further.

“Is there something?”

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. In the darkness, he could vaguely see a figure.

“Shh, speak softly. There’s a person in front; I saw his back.”

“We haven’t been discovered, have we?” The Empress hurriedly asked.

“No, that person… He’s dragging someone forward.”

“Who is it?”

“That figure is wearing a black robe and holding a sickle. The blade pierced through a person’s calf, and he’s being dragged forward. The blood stains are from the captured person.”

Upon hearing this, the Empress’s expression hardened. She asked in a furious tone, “Could it be that the black-robed person captured a victim to be used as a medicinal ingredient, so he could offer a potion it to the President?”

“That’s the only possibility. Otherwise, who would appear here in the middle of the night and drag a half-dead person along?”

Lu Yu continued walking forward.

“Are you going to stop that person?” The Empress followed behind Lu Yu.

“I will kill that person. However, it would be best to get some information out of him.”

Lu Yu moved quickly after that.

The Empress followed closely behind and pulled out two daggers.

Her worries turned into anger. She gripped the dagger so tightly that the veins on the back of her hand bulged.

At this moment, the person in front suddenly stopped moving.

Obviously, he seemed to have noticed something.

He turned around abruptly.

When he saw Lu Yu and the Empress, he opened his mouth wide and shouted angrily, “Bastards, when did you get behind me?”

“You’re courting death! I How dare you trespass this place!”

The man pulled out his sickle, and the man who was being dragged flopped on the ground.

Swoosh!

Lu Yu’s figure turned into an afterimage as he rushed forward.

Almost instantly, Lu Yu rushed to the front of the man in black.

The black-robed man was stunned when he saw Lu Yu teleport before him.

The next moment, the sickle in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes glossed over with despair when he looked at Lu Yu!

Lu Yu’s speed was enough to make him realize his fate.

He concluded that he was definitely not a match for the person in front of him!

“Who… Who are you? What do you want?”

He asked with a trembling voice.

He took a few small steps back and pulled away, still in despair. He knew that he would not escape this place.

“I’m here to kill your President.”

Lu Yu declared straightforwardly.

When the man heard this, he immediately became agitated. Ignoring the fear in his heart, he shouted, “You’re definitely no match for our President. Challenging him is suicide!”

“The President is supreme! You will never defeat him!”
