Chen Yun held a small banner and examined the golden flying insect in his hand.

This worm is nearly half a foot long in radius, with two sharp teeth in its mouth protruding inward about an inch long. The overall appearance is quite ferocious and terrifying.

Compared with the gold-eating bug that Chen Yun owns, its size has obviously increased several times, and it can be said to be a fully mature form of the gold-eating bug.

However, the worm's soul had completely disappeared, and all its life force was gone.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yun waved the Yinluo Banner in his hand.

A black-green ball of light with a diameter of about a fist rushed out from the banner, and after a spin, it landed lightly in front of him.

Under the soft green light, a shadow of a bug that looked exactly like a mature gold-eating bug was suspended in it.

However, not only did the size of this insect shrink a lot, its entire body turned dark black, and its pair of eyes were bright red like blood.

"Go."

Chen Yun raised his finger slightly, and the gold-eating insect's soul instantly turned into a ray of dark light and shot out.

After a flash, it dived into the original insect body.

The huge golden insect's eyes suddenly flashed with blood-red light, and it spread its wings and began to fly, circling around the second Yuanying.

"It's just as I expected. If we refine this insect as a demon corpse, it should be successful."

"While it may be less powerful, it's still pretty strong."

“But if you want to truly control it, you may need to refine the demonic energy in the insect body.”

Chen Yun muttered to himself in a low voice, with a somewhat relieved smile on his face.

Under the current circumstances, having such a powerful soul Gu as an aid will undoubtedly greatly enhance the protection of life safety.

When this thought emerged in Chen Yun's mind, the small flag in his hand immediately became a little bigger.

After the golden gold-eating insect flipped in the air, it rushed straight into the banner. After a flash of black aura, it disappeared without a trace.

Then, Chen Yun waved the small flag in his hand without hesitation.

The black and green Yuanying opened his mouth and sucked it with a smile, and the Yinluo Banner entered his body.

Then it turned into a black flower, and in a flash, it merged into Chen Yun's crown and disappeared.

Chen Yun then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to study the secret of lifting the seal in order to deal with various possible changes in the future.

However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed and he raised his head to look upwards.

Although his cultivation had been sealed, Chen Yun's powerful spiritual consciousness was not affected in the slightest.

According to the perception just now, the mysterious human immortal master once again sped past their convoy.

This aroused Chen Yun's interest.

This Tuwu cultivator, who was obviously looking for him, had passed over the convoy almost every two or three days in the past ten days.

However, each time he just hurried past and never landed to communicate with the convoy.

This made the several methods Chen Yun had originally prepared to hide his identity ineffective.

Although he was full of doubts, Chen Yun was quite satisfied with the other party's behavior.

So he immediately closed his eyes.

At this moment, a majestic neighing sound came from outside the carriage.

"Everyone should stay alert. In two more days, we will reach the designated station of the temple."

"There, we can rest peacefully for two days."

"Temple station?"

When Chen Yun heard this, his heart moved slightly.

But after a little thought, he decided to ignore it and concentrate on studying the secret.

However, only half a day later, Chen Yun noticed that a convoy from another tribe appeared in the surrounding environment.

The size of this convoy was not huge, but it had more than ten more people than the Heron Tribe.

According to the direction of the two convoys, they will meet halfway in an hour.

Since these people did not seem to have any ill intentions, Chen Yun chose to turn a blind eye.

About an hour later, the two tribute teams discovered each other's presence almost at the same time.

The result was naturally chaos.

However, after a brief communication, both sides sent representatives to negotiate and finally reached a solution.

The tribal leader of the caravan was an old acquaintance of Ying Lu. He was from a small tribe called Red Wolf.

After learning about this, Yinglu and the other leader were delighted and immediately decided to merge the two teams and move forward together.

"Brother Yinglu, where are the immortal masters of your tribe? Are they also in the carriage?"

The leader of the other side was a big man with a full beard. He looked at the carriage of the Yinglu tribe carefully and asked curiously.

"Excuse me, are the immortal masters from your tribe also on the bus? Can you tell me how many immortal masters the Red Wolf Tribe brought with them on this trip?"

In response to the big man's question, Ying Lu answered vaguely.

"How many? Actually, there is only one immortal master in my tribe."

"It was because of my sacrifice of face that I spent a large sum of money to barely hire a free-lance immortal master to temporarily stay in my tribe."

"Could it be that your tribe actually has two immortal masters accompanying you?"

The big man glanced at the old man and said with a smile.

The two of them had a history of friendship, so there was no need to be too reserved during the conversation.

"Two? Actually, there is only one immortal master in my tribe. It took a lot of effort to convince the immortal master to escort us on our journey."

Ying Lu sighed and said so.

Afterwards, he and the big man looked at each other, and both of them smiled helplessly, with a hint of sympathy.

"In general, no matter what, having a Master in the team can always bring more security."

"We are only a day's journey away from our base, and I believe there won't be any unexpected situations."

"As for the remaining half of the journey, I will pass through the territories of various large tribes, so I need to be more cautious."

"For the next journey, I suggest that we travel together with some small tribes, so that we can ensure the safety of the journey."

The old man's eyes moved slightly and he offered his suggestion.

"I need to think about this for a while."

"There have been many cases in the past where small tribes have joined forces, but because one tribe carried extremely valuable tribute, the entire group was implicated."

The big man hesitated a little and answered hesitantly. "Brother Ba is overly worried. This situation is rare. The possibility of our small tribe having precious tribute is far lower than the risk of being robbed on the way."

Ying Lu didn't care about this and shook his head.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter again after we have rested."

The big man named Ba did not flatly reject the proposal, and seemed to be tempted by it.

At this moment, the ordinary subordinates in the two teams have become familiar with each other and are communicating with each other very happily.

Especially the young girls in the team, who were surrounded by young men from both sides, and cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

Since these female members were selected to participate in this tribute activity, they were undoubtedly the best in their respective tribes and had extremely beautiful looks.

No wonder the male members of both sides seemed extremely excited.

When Ying Lu heard the laughter coming from behind, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He was about to turn back to discipline his subordinates so as not to offend the immortal master in the carriage.

However, at this moment, a strange bird cry suddenly came from high in the sky, and the sound did not sound like an eagle's cry.

It didn't sound like the cry of an eagle, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.

When the old man heard the voice, his face suddenly changed, and he turned to look at the big man beside him. He saw that the big man also had a solemn expression, and there was fear in his eyes.

"Everyone, get off your horses and take cover immediately. This is a demonic bird, ape-vulture. Please ask Master Han Xian for help!"

The old man shouted loudly in panic, and almost at the same time, the big man also shouted similar instructions to his subordinates.

"Hide behind the vehicle quickly and ask Master Feng to deal with the monster bird."

When they heard the name of Saruju, the entire convoy fell into chaos, with fear on everyone's face.

They jumped off their horses or hid behind vehicles, looking up at the three huge monster birds in the sky.

I saw the three insignificant black spots in the sky rapidly expanding, and in the blink of an eye, three huge brown monster birds came into view.

It has a monkey head and a phoenix tail, and under its two-meter-long wings are a pair of fluffy monkey arms.

From the bloody mouth, a series of horrifying screams emanated. Seeing this scene, everyone felt even more depressed.

Although the monkey-vultures are only second-level demon birds on the vast grassland, their intelligence and ferocity far exceed those of demon beasts of the same level.

Not only is it powerful, but its pair of sharp claws are enough to tear rocks and crush metal.

Moreover, the strange sounds coming out of its mouth have a magical effect of confusing people's minds, and even low-level immortal masters in the foundation-building stage are often unable to resist it.

However, such strange birds rarely appear on the grassland. Now two of them appeared at once, which made the team members shocked and terrified.

"Why are you so frightened? They are just a few second-level monsters."

A cold shout came from a carriage of the Red Wolf Tribe, and then a red light appeared on the carriage.

A mysterious figure suddenly rushed out of the car, floating gracefully in the low air with a piece of silk handkerchief under his feet, and asked coldly.

Ying Lu was stunned and deeply shocked when he saw this person.

It turned out that this person was also a monk wearing a green cloak, and judging from the voice he made, he did not look too old.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, you must be more careful. Don't forget that there are three monkey vultures in front of you!"

The ambitious man named Ba shouted a warning, his voice full of worry.

Before hiring him, he had specifically inquired about Master Feng's strength, and vaguely remembered that this master was only at the initial foundation-building stage.

Having just obtained the true qualification of a master, theoretically he should not even be able to handle a monkey or vulture, so he was very worried.

The old man who was lying on the floor at the moment quickly shifted his gaze to the carriage belonging to their tribe.

He felt a little relieved when he caught a glimpse of another man wearing the same green cloak, standing on the shaft of the cart and gazing at the sky.

As long as the cultivation level of this Master Han Xian is not too low, then the two of them working together may be able to scare away these three ape vultures.

At this moment, the three ape-vultures obviously noticed the other man in blue who was floating in the air with a flying device.

Although these three ape-vultures had seen human monks before, they naturally knew that these people were not easy to mess with.

However, they were reluctant to give up the tempting prey below, so they began to circle hesitantly more than a hundred feet above the ground.

"Humph! Courting death."

The man in blue saw that the ape-vulture was not scared away, but seemed a little impatient.

Without saying a word, he waved his hand, and immediately several talismans flew out of his hand, quickly transforming into several fire snakes over ten feet long, which rushed straight towards the evil birds.

"Eh! Fire Snake Technique?"

Chen Yun, who was standing in the carriage, couldn't help but exclaim softly, feeling quite surprised.

Although the Fire Snake Technique is only a low-level spell, if it can be refined into a talisman, it will be enough for a practitioner in the Foundation Establishment Stage to use at will.

This person is definitely not an ordinary person. Chen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly and developed a strong interest in him.

But then he frowned helplessly and sighed secretly.

Although the three fire snakes were very powerful, they were easily avoided by the three monkey vultures because they were too far away.

The man in blue had a very superficial control over the Fire Snake Technique and did not even know how to guide the fire snake to chase the enemy.

This resulted in a waste of several precious talismans and even aroused the violent emotions of the three evil birds.

The larger one among them suddenly let out a sharp roar, and the three griffons folded their wings at the same time and swooped down directly towards the man in blue.

The man in blue seemed a little dazed after seeing that the Fire Snake Talisman failed to work.

Then he found that the demon bird was attacking him violently, and he suddenly became at a loss.

After a flurry of activity, he actually took out a small sword as white as snow, chanted a quick spell, trying to drive it to fight back.

When Chen Yun saw this scene, he shook his head repeatedly.

Now that the demon bird is about to launch an attack, he does not cast a protective shield to protect himself first, but instead plans to confront it head-on with magic weapons. Isn't this courting death?

It seems that this immortal master is indeed a novice who seldom fights with others.

However, that small sword is a top-grade magical weapon. This person is indeed quite famous.

The man in blue recited the magic formula very skillfully, and when the demon bird approached, he finally succeeded in activating the magic weapon and fiercely summoned the small sword.

With a flash of dazzling light, the small sword, which was only an inch in size, turned into a white light several feet long.

It headed straight for the monkey-vulture in the center at a speed that was jaw-dropping.

The demon bird seemed to sense danger and shook its body violently, trying to avoid the oncoming white light.

But it was too late, and it had to urgently stretch out a black claw to try to resist the white rainbow.

After the white light paused for a moment, a tragic scream pierced the sky, and the black claw was instantly cut off by the sword light, and mottled bloodstains fell from the air.

However, the other two demonic birds instantly flew over the blue-robed man's head from both sides, and their four sharp claws grabbed at his crown like iron hooks. (End of this chapter)
