Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Lu Yuan didn't care. "Don't worry, I have my own way." He said, taking out a crystal clear bead from his arms, "This is a summer bead, which can resist the high temperature in the desert."

Xuannu took the beads and immediately felt a cool breeze blowing on her face, and the heat in her body dissipated a lot.

"How do you have such a treasure?" she asked in surprise.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows proudly, "Don't worry about that. Just follow me and I guarantee you will have everything you want."

They continued to go deeper into the desert, encountering all kinds of strange creatures and dangerous environments along the way. But Lu Yuan was always able to turn danger into safety, and even found some fun in it.

"Look, that sand scorpion looks so much like your annoying junior sister." Lu Yuan pointed at a huge sand scorpion in the distance and teased.

Xuannv glared at him and asked, "Can you be more serious?"

Lu Yuan laughed, "It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously."

Deep in the desert, they found an ancient ruins. The door of the ruins was tightly closed and engraved with mysterious runes.

"It seems that this is the place we are looking for." A glimmer of excitement flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

He stepped forward and carefully observed the runes on the gate, trying to find a way to open it.

"These runes seem to be an ancient seal." Xuannv also came over and studied them carefully, "I seem to have seen similar runes somewhere..."

Suddenly, her expression changed, "Oh no! This is the seal of an ancient vicious beast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the runes on the door suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then the door slowly opened, and a powerful evil aura surged out from it.

"Roar--"

A deafening roar came from the depths of the ruins, as if it was going to shatter the entire desert.

"It seems that we are in big trouble this time." Lu Yuan showed a solemn expression on his face.

From the depths of the ruins, a gigantic figure slowly emerged, emitting black demonic energy and a pair of blood-red eyes filled with a desire to kill.

"This... this is... Taotie!" Xuannv shouted in horror.

Taotie, an ancient ferocious beast, is famous for its greed and cruelty. It is said that it can devour everything, and even gods and demons fear its power.

"This is going to be fun." Lu Yuan licked his lips, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "I haven't encountered such a strong opponent in a long time."

He drew the long sword from his back and pointed it at Taotie, "Come on, let me see how powerful you, an ancient beast, are!"

Taotie let out a deafening roar, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced towards Lu Yuan...

The Taotie opened its bloody mouth, and a foul smell rushed towards him, as if it wanted to devour everything. Lu Yuan did not dodge or evade, but rushed towards the Taotie.

"You don't know your own limitations!" Xuannv exclaimed. This Taotie is an ancient ferocious beast, even immortals have to retreat away from it. How could Lu Yuan be so arrogant!

Lu Yuan's mouth curled up with a disdainful smile, "How dare a mere beast act so presumptuously in front of me!"

The long sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light, and a sharp sword energy slashed straight into the huge mouth of Taotie.

"clang--"

With a loud bang, the sword energy collided with Taotie's teeth, and dazzling sparks burst out. Taotie was knocked back a few steps by the sword energy and let out a painful roar.

"Interesting." A hint of excitement flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. The defense of this Taotie was indeed amazing. It could actually block his attack.

He swung the sword again, and this time, the sword energy was sharper and faster.

Taotie seemed to feel the threat as well. It no longer resisted but dodged Lu Yuan's attacks flexibly.

A man and a beast fought a fierce battle in the desert.

Lu Yuan's swordsmanship was exquisite, and every move hit Taotie's vital points directly. Taotie, on the other hand, relied on his great strength and speed to constantly dodge Lu Yuan's attacks and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

"boom--"

The Taotie's giant tail swept out and knocked Lu Yuan away.

Lu Yuan flipped over in the air and landed steadily on the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. "As expected of an ancient beast, it really has some skills." Lu Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with more fighting spirit.

He rushed towards Taotie again, and the sword in his hand turned into a series of afterimages, covering the Taotie.

Taotie kept roaring angrily. It was forced to retreat step by step by Lu Yuan's sword energy, and wounds appeared on its body.

"Roar--"

Taotie let out an unwilling roar. It knew it was no match for Lu Yuan, so it turned around and tried to escape.

"Want to run?" Lu Yuan sneered, "It's not that easy!"

He flashed and instantly appeared in front of Taotie, and the long sword in his hand fiercely stabbed into Taotie's heart.

"puff--"

Blood gushed out, Taotie let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

"Finally solved." Lu Yuan retracted his sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You...you actually killed Taotie!" Xuannv looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief, her eyes full of admiration.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "What's so surprising about this? It's just a beast."

As he spoke, he walked over to the body of Taotie and began to search for the spoils.

"Huh? What is this?" Lu Yuan took out a black bead from the Taotie's body. The bead exuded a strong demonic aura.

"This is... the magic core of Taotie!" Xuannv exclaimed, "It is said that the magic core of Taotie contains powerful power and can be used to refine elixirs or magic weapons!"

Lu Yuan played with the magic core in his hand, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "It seems that this time the harvest is good."

He put away the magic core and said to Xuannv: "Let's go, it's time to go to the next place."

"Where are you going?" Xuannv asked.

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously, "A place more exciting than this place."

They left the Death Desert and continued their adventure.

In a dense forest, they encountered a group of robbers.

This group of robbers looked ferocious and vicious, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.

"I opened this mountain and planted these trees. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave some money for passage!" the bandit leader shouted arrogantly.

Lu Yuan smiled disdainfully, "You little minions dare to block my way?"

The bandit leader was furious, "Boy, you are looking for death!"

He swung the big knife in his hand and slashed towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not dodge or evade, allowing the big knife to chop into his body.

"clang--"

With a crisp sound, the sword broke, but Lu Yuan was unharmed.

"What?!" The bandit leader was stunned. What was this kid's body made of? It was so hard!

The other bandits were also stunned. It was the first time they had seen such a powerful person.

Lu Yuan sneered, "With just this little ability, you dare to come out and rob?"

He punched out and knocked the bandit leader away.

The other robbers were frightened and fled in all directions. (End of this chapter)
