A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

"Be careful, this place might be a bit strange, and can you feel it? It seems much hotter here than before."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be in the deepest part of the Tagh Desert right now."

Lily nodded.

Born into a savage tribe, he possessed an innate and extremely keen sense of danger. He could sense that this place was extremely perilous, and that a single misstep could lead to death. Therefore, he followed closely behind Luo Xing, hoping to receive Luo Xing's protection.

Just then, Luo Xing suddenly sensed the energy contained within the palace.

This energy was extremely familiar to him; wasn't this the same fire-attribute energy he had felt back then?

Suddenly, Luo Xing had a bold idea: was it possible that the fire-attribute Flame Stone was located in the deepest part of this desert, in other words, within this palace?

For a moment, Luo Xing looked at the palace with even greater curiosity. If there really was a Flame Stone inside, then it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it fall into his lap without any effort at all.

“Lily, come with me to explore that palace.”

"Okay, I'll follow you."

The two stepped into the palace.

You can feel the fiery energy within the palace.

This is a palace built of sand, and you can feel its ancient atmosphere. You can even sense some signs of life within it.

If nothing unexpected happens, this palace is definitely not for humans to live in, but for demonic beasts.

Of course, Luo Xing was only thinking about it for now. They'd have to go inside and see for themselves what was inside the palace; at least they couldn't see it from here. In the desert, although the distance looked short, walking there wasn't particularly difficult.

What seemed like a short distance took the two of them less than half an hour to walk.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the palace was far larger than they had imagined. It was a row of palaces, covering at least a hundred acres. Moreover, there were guards at the entrance, and those guards were none other than their old acquaintances.

"I never imagined that the scorpion beast would become the guardian of this place. It's truly astonishing!"

“Lili, follow me. We’ll charge up together in a bit.”

"Alright, don't worry, Lord Barbarian will definitely not hold you back."

Without hesitation, Luo Xing produced a long sword and flew up, instantly killing the two demonic beasts in an instant.

Before the two scorpion heads could even react, their heads had already fallen to the ground.

The ground was covered in their green blood, which looked rather eerie.

Afterwards, Luo Xing carefully led Lily into the palace. The furnishings inside were much simpler than they had imagined. There weren't many guards on either side, presumably because they hadn't yet reached the deepest part of the palace.

They continued cautiously along the wall into the palace, occasionally seeing patrols of scorpion-like monsters constantly patrolling the various intersections within the palace.

Whenever a monster patrolled, Luo Xing would quickly grab Lily and head towards another path, trying to avoid being discovered by the scorpion beasts. Otherwise, another fierce battle would be inevitable.

As he and Lily ventured deeper into the area, the monsters they encountered grew increasingly powerful; they had just met a monster at the Emperor level.

Even Luo Xing wouldn't be confident of victory if he were to face such a monster.

"Don't make a sound, stay close to me, and don't get lost."

"Don't worry, Lord Barbarian."

But just then, as they were talking, a scorpion beast suddenly turned around, sensing their presence.

Although demonic beasts have poor eyesight, their sensitivity to auras is far beyond that of humans.

In the few seconds that Luo Xing and Lili were talking, the aura they exhaled made her realize that something was wrong.

"what?"

"come out faster."

The scorpion beast clenched its fist and pointed it in that direction.

"Let me go up and see what's in there!"

In just a few seconds, countless scorpion hands ran toward Luo Xing's path.

In an instant, Luo Xing panicked; this was really bad.

"No, this is bad. We can't fight them. If we get entangled with them, we won't be able to leave."

"Run, run quickly, keep up with me, hurry up!"

Then, Luo Xing and Lily ran around the palace like madmen.

The scorpion beasts weren't stupid either, and they quickly realized that two people had appeared inside the palace.

Ordinary sorcery is extremely abhorrent to humans because humans often regard its core as a treasure for enhancing their cultivation. Therefore, they hate humans to the core.

When the play started and they sensed the presence of humans, they went berserk.

"Captain, there are two humans over there."

The scorpion beast at the Desolate Realm roared like a madman after sensing the presence of two humans.

"Hurry up and catch them!"

"Our network is currently undergoing cultivation; we absolutely cannot disturb its cultivation. Let's hurry."

"If our network finds out that we failed in our defenses, they will definitely blame us. We must catch them; then we can give them to our King of Alchemy."

"Yes."

The speed at which these scorpion beasts moved far exceeded Luo Xing's expectations; he hadn't anticipated that a group of demonic beasts could run so fast.

Luo Xing was running with some difficulty. He gritted his teeth, and now he had only one thought in his mind.

That means we absolutely cannot be caught by these scorpion beasts.
