Naruto Bond

After Lu Fei and Naruto stepped into the blazing desert, every step they took left deep footprints in the yellow sand, which were then quickly buried by the howling wind. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth mercilessly, making the air seem distorted and unbearably hot.

They were struggling to move forward in the desert, always alert to the dangers that might appear around them. Suddenly, a dull roar came from behind the sand dunes in the distance, and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Be careful, it seems like some big guy is coming out." Lu Fei said with a frown. He gripped the Thunder Flame Sword tightly, and the power of the artifact slowly flowed through the sword, ready to deal with unknown threats at any time.

Naruto also stopped, quickly formed seals with his hands, and activated the Sage Mode. Powerful chakra aura surged around him, enveloping him like an invisible shield.

Soon, a huge dark sandworm slowly crawled out from behind the sand dune. The sandworm was covered with a hard black shell covered with sharp thorns, and each section of its body was as thick as a huge carriage. Its head was triangular, and its two huge compound eyes flashed a strange red light. Its mouth was full of sharp fangs, and black mucus flowed from time to time, emitting a disgusting stench.

"This monster looks like it's not easy to deal with." Naruto looked at the dark sandworm in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Lu Fei did not respond. He rushed directly towards the dark sandworm. The flame and lightning power on the Thunder Flame Sword burst out instantly, and he performed the "Flame Thunder Tyrant Slash". A huge flame and lightning sword energy slashed towards the head of the dark sandworm. Wherever the sword energy went, the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound. However, this sword only left a shallow mark on the dark sandworm's shell, and did not cause any substantial damage to it.

After being attacked, the dark sandworm let out a low roar, then twisted its huge body violently and crawled towards Lu Fei quickly. It crawled very fast, and wherever it passed, the yellow sand was raised high, forming a sand wave that swept towards Lu Fei.

Seeing this, Lu Fei dodged flexibly and slashed the Thunder Flame Sword towards the side of the dark sandworm's body. The blade collided with the shell, splashing sparks, but it still only left a few scratches on the shell.

Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique at this time, and many of them rushed towards the dark sandworm. Some of them hugged the dark sandworm's body, trying to slow it down; some attacked its eyes, trying to distract it. The real Naruto gathered chakra on the side, ready to use a powerful ninjutsu to deliver a fatal blow.

During the battle with the dark sandworm, Lu Fei discovered that every time this monster twisted its body to prepare for a powerful attack, there would be a piece of shell under its abdomen that was slightly different in color, and the defense there seemed to be relatively weak.

"Naruto, attack the shell under its abdomen!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to attack the shell under the belly of the dark sandworm. The real Naruto used "Senjutsu? Lava Release? Rasenshuriken" and threw it at the shell. The high-temperature Lava Release Rasenshuriken carried blazing lava and flew towards the belly of the dark sandworm, leaving a burning trail in the process of flying.

The Molten Release Rasenshuriken hit the target accurately, and the relatively weak carapace instantly cracked under the high-temperature Molten Release force, and black mucus gushed out from the cracks. The dark sandworm let out a painful roar and its body began to tremble violently.

Lu Fei took the opportunity to perform the "Flame Thunder Final Slash". He increased the power of the Thunder Sword to the extreme and slashed at the cracked shell under the abdomen of the dark sandworm with all his strength. This sword contained a powerful force and successfully shattered the shell. The huge body of the dark sandworm fell down with a bang, raising a huge wave of sand, covering everything around it.

Just when they thought they had dealt with the dark sandworm, bursts of roars came from the depths of the desert, and the sound became louder and louder, as if a group of the same monsters were rushing towards them.

"Oh no, there seem to be more dark sandworms!" Naruto said with a changed expression.

Lu Fei nodded solemnly, "It looks like we're going to have another tough battle. We have to be prepared."

Sure enough, not long after, a group of dark sandworms crawled towards them from all directions of the desert. These sandworms were of different sizes, but each of them exuded a strong dark aura, and their appearance made the entire desert seem to be shrouded in a dark haze.

Lu Fei and Naruto looked at each other, and then rushed towards the group of dark sandworms at the same time. They knew that facing so many enemies, only by taking the initiative to attack could they gain the upper hand in this battle.

Lu Fei brandished the Thunder and Flame Sword, continuously performing various fire and thunder attack moves, such as "Flame Thunder Flash Slash" and "Flame Thunder Demon-Breaking Slash". One after another, fire and thunder sword energy slashed towards the dark sandworm group. Each sword could leave a mark on the sandworm's shell, or directly kill some smaller sandworms.

Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique, and countless Shadow Clone Techniques filled the entire desert battlefield. The Shadow Clone Techniques fought fiercely with the dark sandworms. Some Shadow Clone Techniques hugged the sandworms' bodies, some attacked the sandworms' eyes, and some tried to destroy the sandworms' shells. In short, they tried every means to restrain the sandworms' actions. The real Naruto gathered chakra on the side, preparing to use more powerful ninjutsu to give the enemy a fatal blow.

In the fierce battle, Lu Fei and Naruto gradually discovered a common weakness of these dark sandworms, that is, their tail connection is relatively weak. As long as they concentrate their strength to attack this part, they can cause greater damage to them.

"Naruto, focus on attacking the connection between their tails!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

After hearing this, Naruto immediately ordered his shadow clones to change their attack strategy and aimed their main attack at the tail connection of the dark sandworm. The original Naruto also used "Senjutsu Wind Style Nine-tailed Rasenshuriken" and threw it at the tail connection of a larger dark sandworm.

The spiral shuriken hit the target accurately, and the tail connection of the dark sandworm was shattered. Its body instantly lost balance, and its huge body fell down with a bang, creating a huge sand pit in the desert.

The other dark sandworms saw what happened to their companions, but did not retreat. Instead, they became even crazier. They attacked Lu Fei and Naruto desperately, and some even jumped high from the sandworm group, trying to crush the two with their huge bodies.

Lu Fei and Naruto cooperated with each other and continued to fight against the group of dark sandworms. They continued to use powerful attack methods and gradually gained the upper hand. After a hard fight, they finally wiped out all the dark sandworms.

"Huh, we finally got rid of these guys. It was not easy." Naruto wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly.

"Well, but we can't take it lightly. There may be other dangers in this desert. We have to keep moving forward." Lu Fei said. He looked at the vast sea of ​​sand and knew in his heart that their guardian journey was far from over.

After a short rest, they continued to move forward in the desert. As they went deeper, the temperature in the desert became higher and higher, and the air became drier, making people feel like they were inhaling a ball of fire with every breath.

Suddenly, a huge dark pyramid appeared in front of them. The pyramid exuded a strong dark atmosphere, and the tower was engraved with various evil runes and patterns. These runes and patterns flashed strangely under the sunlight, as if telling an ancient and evil story.

"This pyramid looks very strange. There must be something powerful hidden inside." Naruto said with a frown.

Lu Fei said solemnly: "No matter what is inside, we have to go in and take a look. Maybe this is another important base of the dark forces."

They walked cautiously towards the dark pyramid. When they approached the pyramid, the air around them seemed to solidify, and an invisible pressure came over them, making people feel very depressed.

The entrance to the pyramid was tightly closed, and the door was engraved with complex runes. These runes exuded a dark aura that made people dare not touch it easily.

"How do I open this door?" Naruto asked puzzledly, looking at the closed door.

Lu Fei carefully observed the runes on the door, trying to find a way to open the door. After some research, he found that these runes seemed to be arranged in a certain order and required a certain amount of energy to activate.

"I think I know how to open this door." Lu Fei said suddenly. He inserted the Thunder Flame Sword into the ground. The power of the artifact was injected into the ground through the Thunder Flame Sword, resonating with the runes on the door.

Naruto also injected his chakra into the runes on the door. According to Lu Fei's instructions, they activated the runes on the door in a specific order and energy intensity. As the runes were activated, the door of the pyramid slowly opened, and a strong dark breath surged out of the pyramid and rushed towards them.

They walked into the pyramid without hesitation.
