Starting from iron smelting

Lu Xiuyuan felt extremely happy and grateful, knowing that he had obtained a precious treasure. He put the jade pendant on himself and felt the magical power seeping into his body.

As the jade pendant took effect, Lu Xiuyuan's state of mind gradually calmed down, and his cultivation began to grow steadily. He felt that his body and soul were being deeply purified and improved, as if the whole world was opening its doors to him.

Under the effect of the jade pendant, Lu Xiuyuan devoted himself to cultivation more attentively. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in his inner world, constantly adjusting his breathing and harmonizing the breath in his body. He could feel that his cultivation was growing at an astonishing speed, and every minute and every second was filled with wonderful power.

Lu Xiuyuan was shocked and immediately opened his eyes, looking ahead vigilantly. In the deep cave, he heard rustling sounds, which made him feel a little uneasy.

He stood up quickly and looked around, but did not find any suspicious movement. However, his intuition told him that danger was approaching quietly.

Lu Xiuyuan took out the luminous stone and projected the light into the distance. In the dark cave, the bright light of the luminous stone illuminated the water in the distance, reflecting a gloomy and terrifying scene.

As the light of the luminous stone shone, two egg-sized eyes gradually appeared in the water in the distance. The two eyes flashed a green light and exuded a strange aura. Lu Xiuyuan's heart tightened. He could feel the fierce light and hostility contained in these eyes, which made his heart beat faster involuntarily.

The existence of the monster made Lu Xiuyuan feel uneasy. He knew that this was not an ordinary monster, but an extremely dangerous one. This monster hid in the water, waiting for an opportunity to attack the monks passing by. It was one of the most common threats encountered by the monks when exploring the Beiya Cave.

Lu Xiuyuan felt as if his heart had stopped beating, and was shocked by the sudden scene. He had not expected to encounter such a huge and powerful monster in this deep cave. This giant python, or anaconda, was huge, with bulging muscles, covered with thick scales, and flashing a deep light.

Lu Xiuyuan's heart was filled with alarm bells. He realized that the monster he was facing was extraordinary, and its cultivation was far beyond his imagination. This was no longer an ordinary monster he had encountered before, but a powerful and shocking existence. He felt the powerful aura contained in the monster, which made him feel extremely heavy.

The first thought that came to Lu Xiuyuan's mind was to leave and escape from this danger. However, he knew in his heart that this was not a situation he could escape from. The threat of the monster was huge, and if he did not fight it, he would probably fall into an even more dangerous situation.

Just as he was hesitating, the monster's head suddenly rose from the bottom of the water, as if a huge mountain appeared before his eyes. Lu Xiuyuan felt suffocated, and he could hardly believe what he saw.

At this time, he realized that this was not an ordinary python, but an ancient monster called the giant anaconda. The giant anaconda was huge, with a body as long as ten feet, winding in the water like a moving dragon, which was shocking.

As the giant anaconda moved, the originally calm stream suddenly became turbulent, and the water surged rapidly. Lu Xiuyuan's heart sank, and he realized that the giant anaconda had blocked the water outlet with its body, causing a large amount of water to gush out and trap him in the cave.

Lu Xiuyuan knew very well that his cultivation was far from enough to fight against this level of monster. Not daring to underestimate the power of the monster, he decided to turn around and run away immediately.

As the giant anaconda's huge body squirmed, Lu Xiuyuan seized the opportunity, turned around quickly, and rushed to the cave exit recklessly. His heart was beating wildly, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling. He could feel the huge pressure from the monster behind him, which almost suffocated him.

The water rushed past him, creating a cloud of mist that almost submerged him. Lu Xiuyuan ran as fast as he could, his feet stomping on the muddy ground, and every step seemed to press his body into the ground.

The monster giant anaconda was getting closer and closer, and Lu Xiuyuan felt a sense of despair rising in his heart. He knew that if the giant anaconda caught up with him, he would definitely become its prey and be doomed to suffer a tragic end.

At the critical moment of life and death, Lu Xiuyuan struggled forward desperately. He had only one goal in mind - to escape from this horrible cave, escape from the pursuit of the monsters, and save his own life.

However, just when he thought he had escaped the monster's pursuit, a strong suction force suddenly came from behind him, firmly sucking him to the ground. Lu Xiuyuan felt desperate, he could not move, and could only watch the giant anaconda gradually approaching.

Although the demon beast was not yet intelligent, its greedy eyes and sarcastic expression were fully displayed on it, as if it was an instinctive reaction. Its eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if it was mocking Lu Xiuyuan's weakness and helplessness. Saliva dripped from its bloody mouth, making a crisp sound when it fell on the ground, which made people shudder.

Lu Xiuyuan felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the situation was extremely critical, and his situation was becoming more and more dangerous. Every move of the monster was full of murderous intent, as if it wanted to eat him alive.

However, at this critical moment, Lu Xiuyuan's heart was unusually calm. He knew that now was not the time to be afraid, but the time to face it bravely. He gathered all his courage and strength, ready to face this life-and-death battle with the monster.

"Come on, you beast, let me see your strength!" Lu Xiuyuan shouted loudly. Showing cowardice in this situation would lead to death faster.

The monster seemed to sense Lu Xiuyuan's firm aura, it opened its huge mouth, roared loudly, and pounced on Lu Xiuyuan. At this time, the restraint on Lu Xiuyuan loosened, and Lu Xiuyuan was finally able to free his hands to deal with the monster.

The monster swung its tail violently, and the huge tail, carrying violent wind pressure, attacked Lu Xiuyuan. Seeing the powerful tail coming at him, Lu Xiuyuan knew that he could not hold back at all.

He put on the Phoenix Red Gold Armor without hesitation, and in an instant, a flame-like light bloomed on his body. The Phoenix Red Gold Armor emitted a strong glow, like a blazing flame, enveloping Lu Xiuyuan.

Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly took out his fine steel sword and used it to block the giant anaconda's fierce attack. The sword tip collided with the giant anaconda's body, making a crisp metal collision sound, followed by a sharp friction sound.

The fine steel sword danced in Lu Xiuyuan's hand, flashing like a silver light, like a silver lightning, passing through the cave. The sword tip flashed with cold light, and collided with the body of the giant anaconda, causing sparks to fly.

The monster's body trembled, and it kept trying to counterattack Lu Xiuyuan with its tail and huge mouth. However, Lu Xiuyuan was able to cleverly dodge the monster's attacks with the sharpness of his fine steel sword and his own agility, and accurately launch a counterattack when the time was right.

Lu Xiuyuan chopped at the giant snake, but it did not move at all. Its huge scales firmly protected the monster from harm. Faced with this situation, Lu Xiuyuan did not get discouraged, but calmly looked for opportunities to attack.

He waited for the right moment, found the gap between the scales of the giant snake, and then stabbed there with his sword without hesitation. The tip of the sword accurately inserted between the scales and picked off a scale.

Although the scale was small, it was extremely hard. Even a small scale was the size of two palms. This made Lu Xiuyuan secretly happy, because he knew that successfully picking off a scale meant that he had found a flaw in attacking the monster.

The monster felt pain and released a monstrous demonic power, which surged towards Lu Xiuyuan like a tide, almost drowning him in the surging demonic power. This demonic power was so powerful that it seemed to completely devour Lu Xiuyuan.

The monster was completely enraged, and its dark green eyes suddenly turned blood red, full of anger and violence. It opened its bloody mouth and attacked Lu Xiuyuan fiercely, with a speed and strength far exceeding the previous attack, which made Lu Xiuyuan feel a huge pressure.

Lu Xiuyuan immediately felt something was wrong. He knew he had to dodge as soon as possible, otherwise he would be devoured by the monster's attack. Relying on the powerful defense of the Phoenix Red Gold Armor and the bonus of his cultivation, he dodged the monster's attack with difficulty and remained vigilant at all times.

Every time the monster attacked, Lu Xiuyuan felt the crisis of life and death. He was caught in a dilemma and struggled to resist the monster's fierce attack. The monster opened its bloody mouth and attacked Lu Xiuyuan fiercely, while Lu Xiuyuan tightly grasped the sword in his hand and struggled to resist this fierce attack.

However, at the moment when the sword collided with the monster's mouth, the sword was instantly bitten off by the monster's sharp teeth. This sudden scene shocked Lu Xiuyuan. He did not expect that the monster's attack power was so strong that it could easily bite off the sword.

Facing the fierce attack of the monster, Lu Xiuyuan felt a little desperate, but he knew that now was not the time to retreat. He quickly abandoned the broken sword in his hand and decided to run back to find a chance to escape. He turned around without hesitation and ran towards the exit of the cave, his whole body filled with determination and firmness.

The monster let out a deafening roar and chased Lu Xiuyuan relentlessly, as if to defeat him completely. Lu Xiuyuan was covered in sweat, and he could feel the monster's breath approaching behind him. He couldn't stop for a moment and had to escape from this dangerous cave as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Lu Xiuyuan was like a rat crossing the street, he went into any hole he saw and turned any corner he saw, looking very embarrassed. His whole body was soaked with sweat, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart. The giant anaconda was like a wall, attacking him like a tidal wave, and the stone pillars and stone walls in the cave fell to the ground one after another. The earth-shaking force made it almost impossible for him to hide.

Lu Xiuyuan secretly complained in his heart. He began to wonder how he had offended such a powerful beast. Could it be that the jade pendant he got was too powerful, which aroused the jealousy of the monster? He began to regret it. If he had known that he would encounter this situation, he would rather not get the jade pendant.

But it was too late to regret now, he had to face the situation. The monster's attack became more and more fierce, Lu Xiuyuan had to do his best to dodge the huge body and look for a chance to escape. He knew that only by escaping from this dangerous place as soon as possible could he have a chance of survival.

Seeing the giant anaconda's huge body chasing him like a raging wave, Lu Xiuyuan ran towards the cave entrance without hesitation. The cave entrance was large enough to accommodate a person's body, but the deeper he went, the narrower it became. He felt the giant anaconda's spitting sound, as if it was the call of the god of death, prompting him to speed up his pace.

During the escape, Lu Xiuyuan's heart was pounding and his body seemed to have reached its limit, but he knew that he could not stop now. The only way to save his life was to escape from this dangerous place. He kept squeezing forward into the cave, but the giant anaconda followed him and kept squeezing forward. The space in the cave became narrower and narrower. Lu Xiuyuan felt as if he was trapped between rocks and could hardly breathe.

When he finally escaped to the depths of the cave, he felt a temporary sense of safety, but at the same time he also realized the danger of the giant anaconda having already entered the cave. Two-thirds of the giant anaconda's body had completely entered the cave, and its huge body seemed to fill the entire cave.

A series of rapid thoughts rushed through Lu Xiuyuan's mind, and he knew he had to come up with a plan as soon as possible. He didn't have much time to waste, and he had to act immediately. He looked around, looking for anything he could use, trying to find a way out. But the cave was small, and there was almost no other object except the giant anaconda.

Lu Xiuyuan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. He knew that this was a great opportunity that could not be missed. He took out the dagger from his waist without hesitation, ready to give the giant anaconda the final blow. The dagger flashed coldly in his hand, like a sharp blade of death, waiting for the next moment to come.

He steadied his breathing, gathered all his strength, and prepared to strike. The scene before him seemed to become quiet, with only the life-and-death struggle between him and the giant anaconda becoming the focus of the whole world.

Suddenly, he swung the dagger and the flying knife went straight to the giant anaconda's eyes. The dagger was like a flash of lightning, so fast that it was unbelievable. It streaked a lightning-like light in the air and went straight to the giant anaconda's eyes, ready to give it a fatal blow.

The dagger hit the giant anaconda's eyes accurately, and a foul-smelling blood mist burst out, filling the entire cave. The giant anaconda let out a shrill howl, twisting its body violently, trying to break free.

The entire cave seemed to be shaking violently, and the falling rocks made a creaking sound, as if telling of the fierceness of this life-and-death struggle. Lu Xiuyuan felt heavy in his heart, because he knew that although the giant anaconda was seriously injured, it still had great strength and could escape if he was not careful, bringing him greater danger.
