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

When the Immortal Lotus was in hand, a cool breath instantly spread throughout the body. Lu Yuan felt that his mental strength had also been greatly improved.

He was overjoyed, thinking that this fairy lotus was indeed a magical object from heaven and earth, with extraordinary effects!
"Boy, although this fairy lotus is magical, you must use it with caution. Don't bite off more than you can chew, otherwise it will be counterproductive." Ku Gu reminded.

Lu Yuan nodded and put the fairy lotus away.

"Senior, can I leave here now?" Lu Yuan asked.

The skeleton shook his head: "Not yet. There are other secrets in this underground space. You must find them before you can leave here."

Lu Yuan's heart moved: "What other secrets are there?"

The skeleton didn't say anything, but pointed to the bottom of the pool.

Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the dry bone's finger and saw a pitch-black hole at the bottom of the pool.

"There... leads to... another world..." The voice of the dried bones was hoarse and low, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Lu Yuan's heart trembled. Another world? What kind of world would that be?
He took a deep breath, jumped into the pool...

The water in the pool was icy cold, and Lu Yuan sank quickly. He felt as if he had entered a bottomless abyss, surrounded by darkness, and unable to see his hand in front of him.

An inexplicable feeling of fear surged in his heart. He wanted to swim upwards, but found himself being sucked by a powerful force and unable to move at all.

He struggled desperately, but to no avail.

At this moment, he suddenly felt his feet go empty, and he fell rapidly...

He fell into a wider space.

This space is actually... as dry as a desert, without a drop of water.

Lu Yuan felt like he had fallen into a bottomless pit. The cold water was instantly drained away, replaced by dry, scorching air. He fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. "Ahem..." Lu Yuan struggled to sit up, looking around with a dusty face.

This place turned out to be a desert! The scorching sun scorched the earth, the air was distorted, and as far as the eye could see, there was only endless yellow sand and jagged rocks.

"What the hell is this place?" Lu Yuan cursed in a low voice. He had clearly jumped from the pool, so how did he end up in this barren desert?
He tried to circulate his true energy, but found that the true energy in his body was suppressed by a strange force and could not be mobilized at all! This made him even more uneasy.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the distance, getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

Lu Yuan stood up alertly and squinted his eyes to look in the direction of the sound. He saw yellow sand all over the sky and a huge figure slowly approaching him.

The figure was ten feet tall, shaped like a giant scorpion, covered in a thick carapace that shone with a metallic luster. It waved its huge pincers, making a clicking sound that was terrifying.

"Damn! What kind of monster is this?!" Lu Yuan cursed in his heart, this place is too weird!
The giant scorpion seemed to have spotted Lu Yuan, and it let out a sharp hiss and rushed towards him at a speed so fast that it was astonishing.

Lu Yuan was horrified and tried to dodge, but he found that he couldn't move at all! The force that suppressed his true energy also imprisoned his movements.

"It's over, Barbie Q is gone!" Lu Yuan closed his eyes in despair.

Just when the giant scorpion's pincers were about to clamp him, a golden light flashed, and a skinny figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yuan.

It was the dry bones!
Withered Bones stretched out a dry hand and easily blocked the giant scorpion's attack. With a loud "bang", the giant scorpion's huge body was actually shaken back several steps. "Little guy, it seems that you are in some trouble." Withered Bones' voice was still hoarse, but with a hint of teasing.

Lu Yuan was surprised and delighted, and asked quickly: "Senior, what's going on? Why can't I use my true energy? And what is this monster?"

Withered Bones smiled and said, "This is the trial site of the Immortal Lotus. Everything you encounter is part of the trial. As for this giant scorpion, it is just a puppet guarding this place."

"Trial?" Lu Yuan was stunned. "Then what should I do to pass the trial?"

The skeleton did not answer directly, but pointed at the giant scorpion and said, "Defeat it."

"Defeat it?" Lu Yuan said with a wry smile, "Senior, can't you see that I can't even move now? How can I defeat it?"

Withered Bones smiled mysteriously and said, "The Immortal Lotus has given you powerful strength, but you haven't discovered it yet. Feel it with your heart and control this power."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body. He found that although his true essence was suppressed, a strange energy was surging in his body, which was more powerful and violent than his true essence.

He tried to mobilize this energy, but found it was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, difficult to control.

"Concentrate, feel it, and guide it." The voice of the dry bones sounded in his ears.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner restlessness, and focused all his attention on this energy. Gradually, he felt a subtle connection between himself and this energy.

He tried to guide this energy, slowly flowing it to his limbs and bones. A powerful force instantly filled his body, and he felt as if he had infinite power.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.

"Roar!" The giant scorpion roared again and pounced towards him, waving its claws.

This time, Lu Yuan did not dodge, but rushed towards the giant scorpion. He swung his fist and smashed it hard on the giant scorpion's shell.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the giant scorpion's shell was smashed by his punch, and green blood gushed out.

The giant scorpion let out a sharp scream before its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Lu Yuan stood beside the giant scorpion's corpse, panting, his heart filled with shock. He didn't expect that he actually possessed such a powerful force!

"Congratulations, boy, you have passed the first level of the trial." The voice of the withered bones came.

Lu Yuan turned his head to look at the dead bones, only to find that a stone door had appeared behind them at some point.

"Next, you will face a more severe test." The bones said, "Go in, your fate is in your own hands."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and walked towards the stone gate...

The stone door slowly opened, and a cold breath rushed towards him. Lu Yuan stepped into the stone door and found himself in a dark cave. Deep in the cave, there were faint screams, which made people shudder.

He walked forward cautiously. The cave became narrower and narrower, the air became thinner and thinner, and breathing became difficult. At this moment, he suddenly felt his feet go empty, and he fell down again...

Falling, endless falling. Lu Yuan felt like a fallen leaf, drifting in a bottomless abyss. The whistling wind in his ears, mixed with shrill screams, made him terrified. (End of this chapter)
