Chapter 293: Teenager Carrying a Coffin Once More
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li had gone missing!
Family Patriarch of Du Family was scared out of his wits upon receiving the news. He at once issued an order and teleported many warriors to nearby cities to search for Lu Li. At the same time, he asked hundreds of nearby families to join in the searching effort.
At least a million warriors were mobilized in a large area. Iron-armored Ships took flight from many cities, searching for the Coffin of the Dragon King and Lu Li all over the place.
Yu Huashen, Ming Yu and Du Ran were out of their minds. They also commenced looking for the Coffin of the Dragon King and flew away at the top of their speed.
A frightening thing happened—the Du Family had sent millions of warriors, thousands of Iron-armored Ships to search in an area as far as they could. They had been searching for six hours and yet nothing had been achieved.
Lu Li and the Coffin of the Dragon King had disappeared!
How could a huge coffin and a living and breathing person just be gone? This was unreasonable and unacceptable to Ming Yu and Yu Huashen…
Lu Li had just left the Northern Desert and teleported to the Central Plains. The moment he set foot on the Central Plains, he had gone missing? Yu Huashen was worried that if Lu Li died, the Soul Worms inside his brain would act up. Ming Yu, on the other hand, felt guilty and responsible. How would he tell Lu Renhuang in the future?
Du Family sent out more warriors and widened their search to an area with a radius of about hundreds of thousands of miles. The Coffin of the Dragon King must be out there. It must be hiding in some place.
…
As a matter of fact!
The Coffin of the Dragon King did go into hiding. It was in a small valley along the way Ming Yu and the others searched.
Actually, Ming Yu and the others had been here and many more were passing this place. Yet none of them went down to the valley to take a look.
To be exact, nobody could see the Coffin of the Dragon King, or Lu Li who was tied to the Coffin of Dragon King by the cold-iron chains.
At this moment, the runes on the Coffin of the Dragon King were flickering and the mysterious patters on the walls of the coffin started moving around. The Coffin of the Dragon King stopped giving out golden light but a light cyan colored ray of light which had formed a shield with a diameter of about 30 feet.
It was this shield that made Coffin of the Dragon King disappear. Not even psychic power could sense it, let alone naked eyes.
Lu Li was still tied off by the cold-iron chains. He was not in a good state, neither was Little White.
After Lu Li was entangled by the cold-iron chain, Little White rushed out immediately to protect its owner. It tried to bite the chains off for Lu Li, but some thin black vines growing out from the cover of the coffin entangled Little White. It was the same kind of vines that grew at the top of the Mountain of the Dragon King except this kind had some green light glowing around them.
“Squeak, squeak~”
It was the green light that made Little White scream. It tried to bite but none of the vines would come off. Little White screamed and screamed in misery and looked at Lu Li in anxiety. Its screams could not go past the cyan shield. No matter how hard it screamed, it would not be helpful.
Lu Li was in a worse state than Little White.
Some green light kept coming from inside the black cold-iron chains into his body.
It was the same thing that had happened to Yu Lingxu. Except Yu Lingxu was controlled by the demon by the divine weapon he was holding. This time, the demon was clearly using some special power to take over Lu Li’s body via the cold-iron chains.
To be exact, to infiltrate Lu Li’s body and soul!
“Ah, no~”
Lu Li could not move one bit but his muscles were swelling up. He tried to wriggle and his eyes were red for a second and then black for the next. His expressions were ferocious. At the moment, he was like a trapped beast, howling in anger…
Lu Li felt painful, much painful than he had ever experienced. It was not only his body, but his soul as well.
The green energy had invaded his body. He felt he was losing control of many places. The green energy was taking over his body bit by bit. To be exact… it was transforming his body, demonizing his body.
Soul was the essence, not the body!
Strands of green energy surged into Lu Li’s Soul Pond like thousands of green needles. Lu Li felt his Soul Pond was poked at by tens of thousands of needles. It was a kind of pain that could not be expressed. He was greatly distressed.
Lu Li could feel his Soul Pond was being taken over little by little as the green energy entered there.
From the outside to the inside, his Soul Pond was being occupied by the energy. The Soul Pond had started emitting green light. Lu Li felt he was losing grasp of the world as if he were drugged. He struggled to open his eyes or do something but of no avail.
A sense of fear came from the depth of his soul.
Lu Li knew very well that the demon was taking his body and soul, the so-called being possession.
He might turn into a slave of the demon just like Yu Lingxu. He might lose his ego, his soul, and he would be a dead man walking.
How horrible it would be when his soul wouldn’t react to anything and his body was controlled by a demon? His parents had given him his body and now it was going to be controlled by a demon?
He, Lu Li, was going to become a demon, a demon that would hunt for humans around the world and eat human flesh? He would be hunted down by many human warriors and he would end up being cut into pieces by the warriors?
Lu Li howled in pain again when he thought of what would happen if Lu Ling knew he had become a demon or his parents were saved, only to find he was cut into pieces. Lu Li struggled and his expressions grew more awful.
“Roar, roar, roar~”
Lu Li rolled off from the coffin. Since he was still tied off to the cold-iron chains, he could only roll around on the nearby ground.
His cloths were ragged and his hair was in a mess. He twisted his body and raised his head and howled. Against all his efforts, he was still like a grasshopper tied by a rope, unable to make his escape…
Time pressed on.
More green energy was going into Lu Li’s body and soul. Lu Li became feebler in his struggles. His roars became lighter, but the green and red light in his eyes was getting brighter…
It was midnight. It had been 12 hours since his disappearance. The remaining sober consciousness in him was at its worst state.
Lu Li was a man of strong mind. If he were just an average Joe, he wouldn’t have any sober consciousness left by now.
Of course, if it went on like this, in less than a couple of ours, Lu Li’s mind would be gone and his body would be under complete control by the demon.
Right at this moment!
Suddenly, there were some warriors walking by. The valley was a small one and people could see through it in one glance. Usually, warriors would only cast a random glance over to the valley and then continue on their way.
Maybe it was because it was late in the night so the warriors were exhausted. They walked to the valley, seemingly wanting to have a rest here.
“Bang!”
One of the warriors felt like he walked into an invisible wall. He had hit against the shield outside the Coffin of the Dragon King.
“What is that?”
The warrior was alarmed. Out of instinct, he shot out Xuan Energy. The shield glowed and revealed the Coffin of the Dragon King and Lu Li.
“Coffin? Coffin! There is a young man here! I found them!”
These warriors were scouts of the Du Family. They shouted in joy. One of them reacted quickly. He climbed up out of the valley and threw out a signal detonator.
“Bang!”
The signal detonator exploded in midair, as if a firework coming into full bloom. The signal detonator lit up an area with a radius of several miles. Hundreds of warriors nearby were alarmed.
“Roar~”
Down in the valley, Lu Li abruptly gave out a beast-like howl. Then he crawled up. Surprisingly, the cold-iron chains let Lu Li go.
Instead of running away, Lu Li took the chains in his hand and rushed forward, pulling the coffin with him.
The night was as dark as ink. A red-eyed young man was running about wildly in the open land with a golden coffin. The scene was really disturbing. The scouts of the Du Family were too scared to start chasing.
