The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face leading two people toward them.
"A Celestial-level Beast Tamer?"
Sensing the man's aura, Yue Zhengfeng instantly became alert.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Zhang Qiang."
Zhang Qiang also noticed Lu Yuan, who was half-surrounded by the crowd, and grinned, "Hey! Isn't this the young master next to Mu Ruxing? What are you doing here! Could it be that the treasure is on you?"
Lu Yuan frowned, then suddenly laughed and said, "You're too late; they've already stolen it."
Following the direction Lu Yuan pointed, Zhang Qiang's sharp gaze swept over Yue Zhengfeng and the others.
Lu Kuan was immediately jolted awake and pointed at Lu Yuan, cursing loudly.
"You're lying! We clearly haven't seen any treasure; it's definitely still on you!"
Lu Yuan sneered, "If you haven't seen the treasure before, how would you know it's on me?"
"I……"
Lu Kuan was speechless.
But he really had never seen any treasures!
"Enough!"
Just as he was at a loss for words, Yue Zhengfeng suddenly shouted, glanced at Lu Yuan, and then turned to look at Zhang Qiang.
"My friend, don't be fooled by this kid!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang also looked at Yue Zhengfeng, "Whether it's a lie or not, I know in my heart, but none of you can leave!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengfeng was immediately filled with anger.
However, he then turned his eyes away.
He originally intended to lash out on the spot and then take the opportunity to escape.
But then he suddenly realized that the other party was also after the treasure, so they would definitely make a move against Lu Yuan.
Since he's currently helpless against Lu Yuan, why not wait for an opportunity to weaken Lu Yuan first, and then strike when the time is right?
So he said loudly to Zhang Qiang, "Of course! Even if it's just to prove our innocence, we won't leave!"
Zhang Qiang looked at him with some suspicion, while Lu Yuan instantly realized what the old man was up to!
Do you want the snipe and the clam to fight so that the fisherman can benefit?
No way!
"He's waiting until you're exhausted after dealing with me, then he can reap the benefits without lifting a finger!"
Lu Yuan saw through his thoughts in one sentence, and Yue Zhengfeng's expression changed drastically!
Zhang Qiang narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
"He's just a brat at the Xuanzhen level. Do I even need to lift a finger to deal with him?"
After he finished speaking, he gestured with his chin to the people behind him, and immediately a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist stepped forward.
"Kid, let me give you a try!"
Immediately afterwards, a ferocious black-haired boar appeared instantly, roared loudly, and charged towards Lu Yuan!
The aura of the Earth Spirit-level Beast Tamer swept over them, causing Lu Kuan and the others to retreat repeatedly, barely managing to regain their footing after much effort.
In contrast, Lu Yuan's expression turned solemn, and he immediately ordered Xiao Yi to activate the Holy Protection Array!
A blue aura magic circle lit up from beneath their feet, and then everyone saw that familiar golden cross light flash by and strike the black-haired pig hard!
"Awooo!!!"
A pitiful scream was heard, and a bloody gash appeared on the black-haired pig's body!
Not only Lu Kuan and his group, but also the burly man and Zhang Qiang's group were shocked!
Isn't this kid a Xuanzhen-level Beast Tamer?
How can we break through the defenses of a black-haired boar that has already reached the Earth Spirit level?!
Lu Yuan stood still, his expression calm.
Although Xiao Yi's level is not as high as that of the Black-haired Pig, it is incomparable to both in terms of talent level and bloodline purity!
With the added buff from the Song of Courage and the damage reduction and damage effects from the Holy Protection Array, you can defeat any monster below the third tier of Earth Spirit!
Zhang Qiang stared intently at Lu Yuan, the initial contempt gone from his eyes.
Because of his preconceived notions, he subconsciously thought that Lu Yuan was just a young master from a prestigious family following Mu Ruxing, all show and no substance.
But now, after this experience, he discovered that Lu Yuanyuan was far more capable than he had imagined!
"It seems I underestimated you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a shadow hound suddenly appeared behind him, charging towards Lu Yuan in the blink of an eye.
The Shadow Hound was stopped only when a pale halo appeared around Lu Yuan.
Zhang Qiang frowned. "A defensive formation?"
Lu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, just to be on the safe side, he had set up a defensive formation around him beforehand; otherwise, this would have cost him his life!
Yue Zhengfeng, standing nearby, was not surprised at all. After all, he had already witnessed Lu Yuan's methods of using formations, and it was precisely because of this that he had hesitated to make a move against Lu Yuan.
"Hmph! So what if it's protected by an array? I'll just keep trying, I refuse to believe I can't break through it!"
Zhang Qiang snorted coldly, not taking the formation seriously at all.
Unlike Yue Zhengfeng, he didn't know much about formations and had no idea how terrifying the Golden Shell Formation was.
But precisely because of this, he was even more reckless than Yue Zhengfeng, and immediately ordered the Shadow Hound to launch another attack!
Seeing this, Lu Yuan quickly instructed Xiao Yi to maintain the Holy Protection Array, and at the same time purchased two defensive arrays from the store and set them up.
Looking at the remaining 1000 points of divine power, his heart sank slightly.
These intermediate-level formations can only withstand one attack of the Heavenly Evolution level. In other words, he can only withstand three attacks from the Shadow Hound. He will die on the fourth attack!
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Watching helplessly as the Shadow Hound smashed through all the defensive formations in two strikes, Lu Yuan made a tough decision.
no way!
The only way to escape was by using a teleportation array!
Although he wanted to kill Lu Kuan and Yue Zhengfeng now, saving his own life was the priority!
Just as he was about to go to the mall to buy a teleportation array and leave, a giant python suddenly darted out and bit the Shadow Dog's neck!
The Shadowhound roared in pain and quickly transformed into a dark shadow, burrowing into the ground to escape.
The giant python did not continue its pursuit, but instead crawled around Lu Yuan, adopting a guardian posture.
"Monstrous python?!"
Lu Yuan was overjoyed and turned to look to the side, where he was surprised to see Mu Ruxing walking out of the bushes.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I'm late."
Mu Ruxing stood beside Lu Yuan, her sharp eyes shooting towards Zhang Qiang and the others. Her powerful aura made everyone hold their breath, except for Yue Zhengfeng and Zhang Qiang, who remained calm.
Zhang Qiang grinned and said to Mu Ruxing, "Old Mu, why do you keep protecting this good-for-nothing kid? He has treasures on him. Why don't you help me out and we'll split what we get..."
The python's thick tail suddenly swept across, interrupting his words.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Ruxing's deep voice rang out.
"This is the Lord I swore allegiance to. How dare you act so presumptuously! You deserve to die!"
