Naruto Bond

After leaving the valley where the spiritual spring was located, Lu Fei and Naruto headed towards the vast and mysterious desert area in the east. Along the way, the scenery gradually transitioned from the vibrant mountains and forests to the barren sand, and the temperature began to rise continuously. The scorching sun sprinkled on the earth without reservation, making the sand under their feet very hot. Every step they took seemed to sink into this scorching sea of ​​sand.

Not long after entering the desert, they encountered a fierce sandstorm. The howling wind swept in, carrying a large amount of sand. For a moment, the sky was dark and the visibility became extremely poor. The impact of the wind even made them somewhat unstable. They could only rely on each other to resist the invasion of the sandstorm with difficulty.

"This sandstorm is too fierce. Let's find a place to take shelter first!" Lu Fei shouted loudly, his voice almost drowned out by the strong wind.

Naruto nodded in agreement, and they tried to find a place to hide with blurred vision. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to find a huge rock pit eroded by wind and sand not far away. The two of them quickly hid in it to avoid the edge of the sandstorm.

When the sandstorm gradually subsided, they walked out of the pit and continued to move deeper into the desert. But not long after they walked, the sand under their feet suddenly began to shake violently, and then, huge sandworms emerged from the ground. These sandworms were covered with hard sand shells, and their bodies were segmented like giant earthworms. Their heads had a big mouth full of sharp serrations, and their eyes flashed with fierce light. They twisted their bodies and quickly crawled towards Lu Fei and Naruto.

"Be careful, these are some tough guys again!" Lu Fei said as he gripped the Thunder Flame Sword tightly and used the "Flame Thunder Sky Slash". The flames and lightning on the sword turned into sharp sword energy and slashed at the sandworms. The sword energy hit the shell of the sandworms, splashing a cloud of sand and dust. Although it left some scratches on the shell of the sandworms, it did not stop them from moving forward.

Seeing this, Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and many shadow clones dispersed. Some hugged the sandworms' bodies, trying to restrict their movements; others found the right time to attack the sandworms' eyes, mouths and other vital parts. The real Naruto quickly formed hand seals on the side, preparing to perform a powerful ninjutsu to counterattack.

"Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" Naruto shouted, and a huge Rasenshuriken appeared in his hand, and he immediately flew towards the densest area of ​​the sandworms. The Rasenshuriken continued to grow in size during the flight, and the powerful force sucked several sandworms into it. With a violent explosion, the shells of the sandworms were blown into pieces, and their bodies were injured, so they stopped attacking temporarily.

However, more sandworms continued to drill out from the ground. They seemed tireless and kept rushing towards Lu Fei and Naruto. Moreover, these sandworms began to cooperate with each other in the attack. Some were responsible for frontal attacks, while others launched sneak attacks from the sides, making the two of them overwhelmed.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that every time these sandworms twisted their bodies to prepare for an attack, a brief gap would appear at the connection between their body segments. The shells there were relatively less hard, which might be their weak point.

"Naruto, attack the connection points between their body segments, that's their weak point!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change the direction of attack and attack the joints of the sandworms' bodies. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken", and the high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken with blazing flames accurately hit the joint of a sandworm's body. After the joint of the sandworm's body was hit, part of its shell was instantly melted, and its body also showed obvious fractures. It struggled a few times and then collapsed to the ground, no longer moving.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Demon-Breaking Slash", increasing the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme, and slashed with all his strength at the connection points of the other sandworms' bodies. Under their attack, the sandworms' bodies broke one after another, lost their ability to move, fell to the sand and turned into piles of sand and stones.

After solving the threat of sandworms, they continued to go deeper into the desert. After walking for a while, they saw an ancient and mysterious desert ruins. Most of the buildings in the ruins were buried under the sand, with only some towering spires and broken walls exposed. Under the sunlight, it exuded a vicissitudes and mysterious atmosphere.

"This ruins looks quite old. Maybe there are some powerful treasures or secrets hidden inside. Let's go in and take a look." Lu Fei said, and walked towards the entrance of the ruins, with Naruto following closely behind him.

When we arrived at the entrance, we saw that the door was closed. Various mysterious patterns and runes were carved on the door. These patterns depicted some sacrificial and battle scenes in the desert in ancient times. The runes were flashing faint light, as if guarding the space inside the ruins and preventing outsiders from entering easily.

They began to study the runes around the gate. After some exploration and experimentation, Lu Fei tried to inject the power of the Thunder Sword into some specific runes on the gate, and Naruto also simultaneously directed his chakra to them according to a certain pattern. As the power was slowly injected, the runes on the door gradually lit up brighter light and began to flow in a specific order. Then, there was a dull sound, and the gate of the ruins slowly opened.

Entering the ruins, the light inside is dim, with only a few rays of light coming in from the narrow gaps above, barely illuminating the way ahead. The air is filled with an old and mysterious atmosphere, and the surrounding walls are covered with murals that show the lives and beliefs of the people who once lived in this desert, as well as their stories with mysterious forces, making people feel as if they have traveled through time and space and returned to that long-gone era.

Walking slowly along the passage, not far away, a low buzzing sound was heard, as if something had awakened in the dark. Then, a group of desert scorpions that looked like scorpions but were huge and emitting strange blue light emerged from all directions. The pincers of these scorpions were extremely sharp, and the stingers on their tails flashed a cold light. They crawled quickly and surrounded Lu Fei and Naruto.

"These are tough guys again, be careful of their stings!" Lu Fei warned, and then swung the Thunder Flame Sword, performing the "Flame Thunder Flash Slash", and slashed the scorpions with sword energy carrying the power of fire and lightning. The sword energy hit the scorpions, creating sparks on their hard shells, which slowed down the scorpions' movements, but they quickly adjusted their posture and continued to attack.

Naruto performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and many shadow clones dispersed, some to attract the attention of the scorpion, and some to find the right time to attack the scorpion's eyes, pincers and other vital parts. The real Naruto quickly formed hand seals on the side, preparing to perform a powerful ninjutsu to deliver a heavy blow.

"Senjutsu? Wind Style? Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken!" Naruto shouted, and a huge Rasenshuriken appeared in his hand, and he immediately flew towards the densest area of ​​the scorpion group. The Rasenshuriken continued to grow in size during the flight, and the powerful force sucked several scorpions into it. With a violent explosion, the shells of the scorpions were shattered, and their bodies were injured, and some blue liquid emanated from them, which was obviously highly poisonous.

The desert scorpions were enraged, and their attacks became more frantic. The stingers on their tails were raised high and stabbed towards Lu Fei and Naruto fiercely. At the same time, their pincers were constantly waving, trying to clamp them.

During the battle, Lu Fei discovered that every time these desert scorpions swung their pincers to attack, the carapace on their abdomens would briefly flip open, revealing their relatively vulnerable bellies. The defense there was relatively weak, and the root of the stinger was also in that position. If he could hit there, he might be able to make them lose their combat effectiveness.

"Naruto, attack the place on their abdomen where the shell is flipped open. That's the weak point!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change the direction of attack and attack the vital parts of the abdomen of the desert scorpions. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken", and the high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken with blazing flames accurately hit the vital part of the abdomen of a desert scorpion. After the scorpion's abdomen was hit, part of its carapace was burned, and its stinger also shrank. After struggling for a few times, it collapsed to the ground and stopped moving.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Demon Slash", increasing the power of the Thunder Flame Sword to the extreme, and slashed at the vital points of the abdomen of the other desert scorpions with all his strength. Under their attack, one by one the desert scorpions fell to the ground and lost their lives. The surrounding ground was covered with their corpses, and the venom emitting blue light also flowed all over the ground.

After dealing with the desert scorpion, they continued to move deeper into the ruins.
