Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord Chapter 293 I Still Have Xu Yuan With Me

293 I Still Have Xu Yuan With Me
The discovery made Su Wan’s heart race. When any area had strange rules attached to them, it usually meant there was a precious treasure inside. Perhaps there really was a divine artifact up there.
Su Wan turned and looked at her troops.
The Night Flaming Archers and the Rotten Cavalry set up a defense line. Su Wan still wished Xu Yuan was here. The area was of a medium level of threat, after all.
“Scarlen, please take the troops back to the territory with you. Bring along troops that are of very high level. Also, ask Xu Yuan to help with this.”
She needed Xu Yuan here just in case. She and the troops would level up by defeating whatever they faced. However, it was always helpful to have Xu Yuan around.
She knew Xu Yuan would not participate in a fight unless the enemy was as strong as the angels or at the level of a god.
If she had known about this place earlier, she would have done more to persuade him to come along.
Scarlen left to fulfill the order. He traveled at full speed. It only took two hours to reach the territory.
Scarlen relayed everything to Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan opened his eyes drowsily. He was curious about the strange floating lake. He took the little butterfly and the Flower Fairy with him and headed to where Su Wan was.
Scarlen gathered the strongest troops. The Hydra stayed back to guard the territory.
As for Xu Yuan, he flew at full speed to where Su Wan was. No one dared to ride on his back. Only Su Wan was allowed to do that.
Scarlen had to go back and forth multiple times to transport the troops. Su Wan sighed in disappointment. Her territory still lacked a convenient form of transportation. She comforted herself in the knowledge that the Sandworms were going to hatch soon!
When the time came, she would design a special carriage for the Sandworms that could be used as a means of easy transportation.
“Xu Yuan, will this place affect you in any way?” asked Su Wan.
He was her escape route. If the place affected him in any way, they would be doomed. They wouldn’t be able to revive the dead soldiers.
Su Wan wondered how the owner of the map was feeling right now. The Lord must be probably crying. They must have postponed exploring the area because of a lack of strength or power, only to have the map stolen by Su Wan.
“It doesn’t affect me at all. If a powerful enemy appears, I can still use the Dark Duel Domain!” said Xu Yuan.
[Dark Duel Domain: Drag the enemy into the duel domain and engage in a fair one-on-one duel. There is no interference from the outside world during this period. The winner will devour the soul of the loser and absorb the power.]
“Eliza, lead the five troops and scout ahead. If you encounter any danger, retreat immediately. Don’t fight them on your own” said Su Wan.
Eliza obeyed the Lord’s orders. She led the troops forward. Su Wan looked at the map again.
When they entered the force field, the map changed. It showed an area that wasn’t there before. Su Wan let the map guide her and the troops. ‘It’s like an automatic navigation system!’
At the same time, she sent the Night Devil Bees forward to clear out any danger. The place was mysterious, and it was getting even stranger by the second.
Su Wan raised her head to look at the broken lake floating above. A few fish were swimming in the lake. It felt too surreal to look at.
Inside the force field, everything was affected, even their vision. The rocks and plants seemed very out of place.
However, they still had Xu Yuan with them, so there was nothing to worry about.
To be safe, Su Wan ordered the troops to advance slowly and sent the Night Devil Bees forward to examine every corner and crevice of the place.
However, there were no hidden enemies. She couldn’t even hear or feel the wind in this region. The surrounding was so quiet that the footsteps of the troops and the sound of their breathing felt too loud.
Time passed. Ten minutes… twenty minutes… an hour…
Even when Su Wan used the True Eye of the Demon Dragon, she couldn’t figure out how big or small this place was. Nothing had changed. It was strangely quiet.
Su Wan felt uneasy. She asked Xu Yuan if she could ride on his back to see the place further.
She looked down at the map in her hands. It glowed faintly. It was as though the map was guiding them closer to… something. They were almost there.
Su Wan was on high alert. “Everyone, be on your guard. We are almost there!”
The troops straightened their backs and proceeded with caution. The Night Devil Bees continued to scout the surroundings for any threat. They needed to be vigilant around such a place.
A few minutes later, Eliza sent a message through the magical shared communication. She had found a strange area.
The map seemed to get brighter as they moved to the area that Eliza had spoken of. Su Wan calmed herself when she finally reached the place.
She led the troops there and carefully examined the place. What appeared in front of her was extraordinary!
A few steps away, the shattered lake disappeared without a trace. A huge river replaced it and stretched across the sky. It felt as though they were in the depths of a sea.
The river floated in the sky. Below the floating river, a translucent shield surrounded the lake, making a dome shape around it.
A huge area was isolated in the middle. It was untouched by the water. The river crashed on the dome and flowed in an arch. It was breathtaking to look at!
However, at the bottom of the river, there were corpses. Even the corpses were strange. They looked like two-headed ogres.
Judging from what they saw, a battle must have taken place a long time ago in that place. Curiously, the corpses hadn’t rotted yet. They looked well-preserved.
Even Xu Yuan was quiet. His gaze focused on the corpses.
Twelve blue crystals were floating in the isolated space. They were as big as a shield. They slowly rotated in a clockwise direction and remained suspended.
Through the gaps, they could barely see a hollow ball in the middle. It was the size of a human head and engraved with mysterious runes.
The hollow crystal ball radiated with power.
