Feeling the terrifying fiery red palm print in Gu Yuan's hand, the giant spider hesitated for a moment.

"Come here and take my blow!"

Gu Yuan showed a sinister smile on his face. Damn it, you came to disturb my rest in the middle of the night and even dared to attack me. I'll bury you here!

Gu Yuan jumped up and thrust his palm forward fiercely. The fiery red palm print mixed with a gust of hot wind pierced through the space and in an instant came directly in front of the giant spider.

The giant spider let out a wail and its eight legs hurriedly paddled backwards, trying to avoid Gu Yuan's powerful attack.

Gu Yuan sneered. His Flame Palm was no vain skill. It was a spiritual skill that could lock onto the opponent's Qi. In other words, unless the giant spider had the ability to dodge until the Flame Palm ran out of energy, otherwise, the palm print would keep chasing the giant spider!

“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”

The giant spider crawled on its eight legs, and its entire body leaped up with the help of elasticity, but the Flame Palm was not affected at all and continued to chase the giant spider closely.

The giant spider seemed a little flustered in its response. Its small eyes suddenly lit up, and then it flew towards Gu Yuan who was watching on the side.

"Oh? You're not going to take the flaming palm strike and are going to attack me instead?"

Gu Yuan sneered, swung the Lingyuan heavy sword in his hand, and shouted in his heart: "Break the mountain and cut!"

The black sword light slashed out fiercely and collided with the body of the giant spider that leaped into the air. Then, a cracking sound was heard from the body of the giant spider.

There was another wailing sound, and the giant spider flew out and slammed heavily on the sand on the ground. Gu Yuan slowly landed, and the flaming palm immediately hit the giant spider's body.

"boom!"

An explosion sounded, and Gu Yuan instantly felt the giant spider's breath weaken.

"It seems I overestimated the combat power of this giant spider."

Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly approached the location of the giant spider with the Lingyuan heavy sword in hand.

On the ground, the giant spider that was bombarded by the flaming palm fell into a big pit. Gu Yuan did not hesitate at all. While it was about to kill it, he swung the Lingyuan heavy sword fiercely at the black head. With a click, the sound of the shell breaking was heard. Gu Yuan bombarded it a few more times. After feeling that the giant spider had completely lost its breath, Gu Yuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"This spider doesn't seem to be a very powerful monster. It should be a sand or earth attribute monster. It's a level three monster, and its strength should be around that of a level five spiritual master. No wonder it can't do anything to me!"

Gu Yuan murmured. Although he was only a fourth-level spiritual master now, with the help of his powerful spiritual skills and Chi Yan, Gu Yuan would not have any big problems dealing with opponents who were two or three levels better than him.

Gu Yuan used his spiritual energy to transform into a knife and cut open the spider's head. After stirring it for a while, he did not find the demon core, so he retracted the Lingyuan heavy sword in disappointment.

"However, this body also contains many valuable items, but I cannot keep them. The bloody aura will probably attract other monsters soon. I must leave this place quickly!"

Gu Yuan dug a hole in the ground, took off his clothes and buried them together with the giant spider's corpse. Then, Gu Yuan looked at the direction, sensed the location of the Red Flame Origin Fire in his mind, and quickly walked in another direction.

Not long after Gu Yuan left, rustling sounds continued to be heard around the boulder. Hundreds of protrusions were seen on the ground in the distance, rapidly approaching the location where Gu Yuan had just been.

By the time they arrived at the place where Gu Yuan had stayed before, Gu Yuan had already left for quite some time.

Hundreds of small black beetles broke out of the ground. They were very fast and headed straight for the pit that Gu Yuan had dug before.

When they arrived at the pit, they drilled directly into the ground. After a while, they crawled out and left again.

If Gu Yuan were still here, he would be surprised to find that the giant spider buried underground has now turned into a pile of powder...

However, Gu Yuan knew nothing about this. At this moment, he was moving away from the place he had just been at a very fast speed.

There was no need to think too much. The battle and the bloody smell just now would definitely attract a large number of monsters in the dark, so Gu Yuan left that place without any hesitation.

With a thought, Gu Yuan strengthened his connection with the Origin Fire beneath the ground. The Origin Fire was running fast underground, while Gu Yuan was running on the ground. The man and the fire were detecting the surrounding situation respectively.

"I hope we don't encounter any more monsters tonight."

Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, and only stopped slowly after making sure that he was far enough away from the place he had just been.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

After taking a few deep breaths, Gu Yuan calmed down a little.

"Damn it! I wonder how many weirdos this commotion will attract. Luckily, I'm fast enough, otherwise I'd definitely be in for another tough fight."

Gu Yuan smacked his lips, feeling somewhat relieved.

"Chi Yan, go underground and see if there is any danger!" Gu Yuan said, and Chi Yan drilled directly into the ground and began to search the surroundings.

Gu Yuan released the power of his soul and, as before, checked the situation on the ground around him.

After a while, after confirming that there was no problem on the ground and Chi Yan also sent out fluctuations underground that indicated there was no problem, Gu Yuan squatted down with peace of mind, touched the sand on the ground, and then sat down.

"As a rule of thumb, the closer to the water source, the wetter the sand underground. It seems this method is the only way to go."

Gu Yuan started digging directly underground. As long as there were signs of moisture in the sand underground, and he followed the traces, he would definitely be able to quickly approach the water source and find it.

After digging for a while, Gu Yuan wiped the sweat from his head. He had dug nearly half a meter deep. Gu Yuan found that there was still dry sand underground, so he had no choice but to give up.

According to this depth, there should be dry sand underneath, which means that this place seems to be still far away from the water source.

"When is this going to end? The fresh water will run out sooner or later. This place is so big, and I have no idea where to find water from the oasis."

Gu Yuan sighed deeply, feeling that his current situation was not as good as he had imagined before. To him, everything in this desert was unknown. Not to mention the many unknown existences and water sources here, even if a sandstorm suddenly came now, Gu Yuan would probably lose his way and even fall into danger.

"Oh, forget it, I can't have this mentality, otherwise I will definitely give up on myself in the end!"

Gu Yuan hit his head and thought so.

Sitting down, Gu Yuan closed his eyes and continued to meditate.
