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

Lu Yuan's heart was moved, and an irrepressible excitement surged in his heart. He grabbed the beggar's hand and asked anxiously: "Do you... do you know an old beggar named Nanshan Hermit?"

The beggar was stunned for a moment, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes. He grabbed Lu Yuan's hand as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...you know Lao Nan? He...is he still alive?"

Lu Yuan was overjoyed. It seemed to be him! He quickly said, "I know him, of course I know him! Is he... is he okay?"

The beggar breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, and murmured, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive..." Then he looked at Lu Yuan warily, "Who are you, kid? What's your relationship with Lao Nan?"

Just as Lu Yuan was about to answer, he suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming at him! He turned around abruptly and saw a man in black appear behind them like a ghost, with a black dagger in his hand stabbing Lu Yuan in the back!
Lu Yuan reacted very quickly, dodging the dagger and punching the man in black at the same time. The man in black groaned and took several steps back.

"Looking for death!" The man in black roared and pounced on Lu Yuan again.

Lu Yuan sneered, without dodging or evading, he directly confronted the man in black head-on.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the man in black flew out like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, and spit out blood.

"You dare to assassinate me with just this little ability?" Lu Yuan said disdainfully.

The beggar was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so powerful that he could defeat the man in black with just one move.

"You... who are you?" the beggar asked tremblingly.

Lu Yuan did not answer, but walked up to the man in black, grabbed his collar, and asked coldly: "Who sent you?"

The man in black was pale and his lips were trembling, but he couldn't utter a word.

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold and he exerted force with his hands. The man in black's neck made a crisp "crack" sound and he died on the spot.

Lu Yuan casually threw the body of the man in black aside, turned to look at the beggar, and said, "Where is Lao Nan now?"

The beggar hesitated and said, "I...I don't know either."

"I don't know?" Lu Yuan frowned, "Didn't you just say you knew him?"

"I... I do know him, but I haven't seen him for a long time." The beggar explained quickly, "He is a strange man who travels around the world with no fixed place to stay. He is like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail. I don't know where he is now."

Lu Yuan felt a little disappointed. It seemed that it would not be easy to find Lao Nan.

"Then do you know what his characteristics are?" Lu Yuan asked.

The beggar thought for a moment and said, "He...he likes to wear a ragged Taoist robe, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, and his left foot is a little lame..."

Lu Yuan's heart moved. The description of this beggar was exactly the same as the old beggar he met before! Could it be... Could it be that he was Lao Nan?

"You...you couldn't be..." Lu Yuan asked tentatively.

The beggar was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You kid, you are such a joke! How could I be a hermit in Nanshan? I am just an ordinary beggar."

Lu Yuan frowned. He always felt that there was something wrong with this beggar, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Are you really not Lao Nan?" Lu Yuan asked again.

The beggar shook his head and said, "Really not."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, even if you are not Lao Nan, can you tell me where you saw him?"

The beggar said, "About... about ten years ago, I got lost in the Lost Forest and was nearly eaten by wild beasts. It was Lao Nan who saved me. He gave me some food and water, and healed my leg injury."

"Lost Forest?" Lu Yuan's heart moved. It seemed that he had to go to the Lost Forest.

"The Lost Forest is not a good place. There are not only ferocious beasts but also cannibals!" the beggar quickly reminded, "You'd better not go there."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

The beggar wanted to say something else, but Lu Yuan had already turned and left.

Lin Qingxue hurriedly followed.

"Lu Yuan, are we really going to the Lost Forest?" Lin Qingxue asked worriedly.

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Well, I have to go there."

"But...but it's too dangerous there!" Lin Qingxue said. Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Lin Qingxue felt warm in her heart, she knew that Lu Yuan was a man who did what he said.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Lin Qingxue said firmly.

Lu Yuan looked at Lin Qingxue with tenderness in his eyes.

The two walked side by side, heading towards the Lost Forest.

……

The Lost Forest, as its name suggests, is a forest full of fog.

After Lu Yuan and Lin Qingxue entered the forest, they immediately lost their way.

"Lu Yuan, we...we seem to be lost." Lin Qingxue said a little fearfully.

Lu Yuan looked around, but the thick fog blocked his vision and he couldn't see the direction at all.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lu Yuan comforted.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew, and the surrounding fog suddenly became thicker.

"Ouch!"

A wolf howl came from a distance, and then more and more wolf howls were heard, as if all the wolves in the forest had gathered here.

"Oh no, it's a pack of wolves!" Lin Qingxue's face changed drastically.

Lu Yuan's face also became serious. He didn't expect to encounter a pack of wolves.

"Ouch!"

A huge black wolf rushed out from the fog, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced towards Lu Yuan!

The black wolf was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan did not dare to be careless, and quickly circulated his Qi and slapped it with one palm.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black wolf was slapped away by Lu Yuan and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ouch!"

The black wolf let out a scream and struggled to get up, but Lu Yuan had already rushed in front of it and stepped on its head.

"Crack!"

The black wolf's skull was shattered and he died instantly.

"Wow... so awesome!" Lin Qingxue looked at Lu Yuan with admiration in her eyes.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a beast, not worth mentioning."

At this moment, several black wolves rushed out from the fog and pounced towards Lu Yuan.

A cold light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, and his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in the black wolf pack.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of muffled sounds were heard, and several black wolves were all killed by Lu Yuan.

"Ouch!"

More wolf howls were heard, and densely packed black wolves appeared in the fog, numbering hundreds!

"It looks like we are in trouble." Lu Yuan's face became serious.

Although he was not afraid of these black wolves, there were too many of them. If he was surrounded by them, even he would feel exhausted. (End of this chapter)
