Yan Yun was full of doubts in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, as if he had heard about it for the first time. He nodded lightly and said:
"I see, the scale of your firm is indeed extraordinary."
"However, I just overheard several ladies mention it."
"The destination you are going to this time is Anyuan City. So where is this city and how many days' drive is it from here?"
The youngest lady in red shirt next to her made a face playfully, and then said with a smile:
"Hmph, you are so unruly that you actually eavesdropped on our sisters' chat."
Yan Yun was embarrassed, but deliberately pretended to be stupid and retorted:
"I didn't deliberately eavesdrop on the ladies."
The girl in the blue shirt glared at the girl in the red shirt as if admonishing, and then explained to Yan Yun apologetically:
"Brother Yan, don't be as familiar with Quan'er. She is still young and she doesn't actually have any malicious intentions."
In her eyes, although Yan Yung had just joined the Tiandong Company, he possessed superb physical training skills at a young age and would definitely be reused by the company in the future.
Therefore, she does not want her sisters to have conflicts with Yan Yun.
Yan Yun smiled slightly after hearing this, and when he was about to speak, the carriage suddenly jolted and the giant turtle stopped.
The girl in blue shirt was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and shouted:
"Uncle Wang, what happened?"
The old man outside the carriage replied:
"Ladies, the Red Sparrow in front has discovered a group of sandworm beasts. They seem to have a strong interest in the convoy."
The girl in blue shirt frowned and said:
"It's just some sandworm beasts. They just act on instinct. You only need to send some people to disperse them."
"Why should the entire convoy be held up? Our trip is already slightly delayed."
The old man replied helplessly:
"However, among these insect beasts, there is an insect demon with elementary strength, and it has begun to show spiritual wisdom."
"If we don't try to eliminate it, I'm afraid there will be serious consequences."
The girl in blue shirt couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and then said:
"The entry-level insect monster is indeed challenging."
"However, Leader Zhang's Tiger Tyrant Technique should have reached the fifth level long ago. If coupled with the help of the Jinying Sword Spiritual Equipment written by his wife, defeating this demon will not be difficult."
The old man paused for a moment and said hesitantly again:
"Miss Liu'er is right, but this insect demon is accompanied by several mutated insect beasts."
"Leader Zhang and the others may face certain risks when dealing with them."
The girl in blue shirt said thoughtfully:
"Mutated insect beast! This is indeed a more dangerous situation."
"However, there are also practitioners practicing magic such as Taoist Nanqizi in the car. Maybe we can ask them to help."
"Captain Zhang has already requested assistance from Master Nan Qizi and several other practitioners who were all born in Fangshan Mountain, but unfortunately they were rejected."
"However, Master Nan Qizi and others considered their own position. Before the insect beasts took the initiative to attack, they obviously had no intention of violating the rules and helping."
The elder couldn't help but sighed and explained.
"It's really tricky! I have predicted this phenomenon a long time ago, and I advise you to choose the arrival of such practitioners who are born in the Ganji Mountain. It will only bring us more unnecessary constraints and regulations."
The young woman in red clothes had a sullen expression and seemed to be bored.
"This matter cannot be attributed to Master Nan Qizi and others."
"Most of the original areas of practice of the Guanzhu Sect were insect repellent spells. Although they may not be able to deal with other types of monsters as easily as repelling insects, they are by no means unconfident."
"Facing the attack of insect beasts is an unexpected event."
"Then, the goddess left that object in my custody for the time being. I will release it now and help Captain Zhang tide over the predicament."
"Please also inform him of this matter. I will go to the battlefield to find out."
The piano player named Liu'er was silent for a moment, with a serious look on his face.
"That object is so powerful that it can be used to fight insects and beasts."
After the elder sitting outside the door heard this from the woman in blue, his tense cheeks softened slightly.
"Sister Liu'er, do you really want to release that object? If anything goes wrong, women may be severely punished by the goddess."
The young girl named Xiang'er looked worried and bit her delicate lips gently.
"Don't worry too much. After being tamed by the goddess countless times, the item already has some intelligence."
"Even compared with the primary monsters, it is not inferior."
"So when used to deal with these mutated insect beasts, we will definitely be able to deal with them easily."
The woman in blue shirt said with certainty with a confident smile on her lips. Then she pushed open the side door of the carriage and left.
"I feel really uneasy and want to go to the scene to observe the situation in person."
The younger woman in the red shirt had a determined look on her face, jumped slightly, and then quickly disappeared.
Xiang'er and the last girl in white clothes looked at each other and could only smile helplessly.
They understood each other's mood, so they didn't say much, but quietly left the carriage with the others.
Yan Yun remained alone in the empty carriage.
He sat upright on the wide chair and cast his gaze on the car door that had not been completely closed, with a thoughtful look on his face.
A few breaths later, an extremely harsh tiger roar came from the distance, and its sound was filled with uncontrollable ferocity and bloodlust.
Yan Yun frowned slightly, his eyes flickering for a moment, then he slowly stood up, took steps, and headed straight towards the car door.
He carefully pushed the car door open a gap, then walked out of the car without fear, and stood on the side of the huge turtle's neck.
Then, Yan Yun raised his head and looked around. Under the seven bright and bright moons, Yan Yun had a panoramic view of the surrounding environment.
The whole procession wound its way, its total length being sufficient to reach over a mile, with carriages spaced three-quarters of a mile apart.
Every once in a while, there would be a monster as huge as the giant turtle in front of him as a means of transportation. There were about thirty vehicles in total.
These giant turtles carry huge cargo boxes on their backs that are far larger than their own size.
Sitting on each giant turtle were four to five guard soldiers wearing various types of armor and holding weapons in their hands. At the same time, some cavalry riding giant wolves could be seen on both sides running back and forth patrolling, looking extremely alert.
However, the scene next to another giant turtle not far from here aroused Yan Yun's keen interest even more.
A large group of people had gathered next to the giant turtle, and four female practitioners including Nan Qizi, the burly man with scars, and Liu'er were also standing among them.
In the center of the crowd, there was a square object two feet high, covered with a layer of black cloth that shone brightly.
Through this layer of gauze, a low and powerful animal cry could be vaguely heard.
What's even more striking is that the runes on the surface of this piece of cloth are surging, and it turns out to be a magic weapon of below-intermediate quality.
At this moment, the woman in blue shirt was holding a magical token-shaped treasure in her hand, which was releasing streaks of brilliantly colored blue light, as if she was casting some kind of magical spell.
With the help of Yan Yun's proficient medicine refining technology, the spiritual liquid can still be clearly seen from such a distance as if it is right in front of you.
His eyes rested on the girl's wrist, and he found that she was wearing an emerald green bracelet with several fine spiritual stones inlaid on it, which was shining brightly.
When Yan Yun stared at this scene, his mind was shaken, and his face showed a look of deep thinking.
It has been observed that this so-called "spiritual tool" needs to be activated with another item before it can be used by ordinary people.
And when the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone inside it is exhausted, this spiritual tool will immediately lose its original efficacy.
While Yan Yun was silently pondering this information in his mind, the piece of black cloth originally covered with glittering spiritual stones came to mind.
After absorbing a sufficient amount of blue light, it instantly turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated invisible.
What was revealed was a finely carved silver-white beast cage, in which a tiger-shaped monster with a fiery red body was quietly crouching in it.
Although this tiger-shaped creature looks the same as an ordinary tiger, its fiery red hair makes people feel the heat of its blood.
However, the eyes of everyone present turned to it one after another, and their expressions naturally revealed an aura of fear.
When the beast saw that there were many noisy people outside the cage, a frightening and fierce light suddenly appeared in its eyes.
Then it fluttered out without warning and slammed into the frame of the animal cage, causing the entire animal cage to shake violently.
The expressions of the people watching around him changed suddenly, and they all took two steps back.
The girl in blue breathed out gently, and then raised the token in her hand again. In an instant, the token flashed with blood-colored light.
Coincidentally, after catching a glimpse of the red light, the tiger-shaped monster immediately restrained its ferocious nature and lay docilely in the cage without any movement.
Seeing such a phenomenon, Zhang Kui and the others suddenly relaxed.
At this moment, a crisp cry of birds suddenly came from high in the sky. The sound was loose or tight, seeming to convey a specific message.
"Those insect beasts are speeding up to surround us. Please prepare for battle immediately. We must gather vehicles together to form a defensive fortification, and do not attack without authorization."
"The situation will calm down after I lead a team of people to eliminate the low-level insect demon. Although the insect beasts have no IQ, they will naturally disperse automatically as soon as the insect demon dies."
Zhang Kui shouted nervously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire convoy fell into panic.
Even though the team in the middle of the convoy remained motionless, the giant turtle cars in front and behind gathered towards them in an instant.
The guards on the car quickly showed their weapons, while the warriors on both sides drove the giant wolf cavalry towards the central area at high speed.
The girl in blue gave the order, and someone stepped forward, opened the animal cage and released the tiger-shaped monster.
"Brother Yan, since you have not yet fully recovered, in order to ensure your safety, it is recommended that you return to the carriage."
"Those sandworm beasts are not good at jumping, and the carriage is made of heavy iron wood, so you should not encounter danger here for the time being."
The old man sitting on the leading giant turtle car turned around and grinned at Yan Yun before suggesting.
Faced with the old man's kind care, Yan Yun smiled slightly and said seemingly relaxedly:
"Thank you for your concern, but this is my first time contacting the sandworm beast, so I am quite curious about it."
"If a crisis really comes, I will choose to retreat back to the car."
The old man chuckled and said no more.
Yan Yun chuckled and turned around to look around. He still stood firmly on the giant turtle, silently.
Soon, more than thirty huge turtles formed several solid defense lines, constructing the simplest but effective defense system.
The knights riding giant wolves gathered in one place. There were a large number of them, about fifty or sixty. They lined up outside the protective circle and were led by the strong man with scars on his face.
Surprisingly, the girl in blue was also in the team, but next to her was the weird tiger covered in blood.
The chirping of birds in the distance became louder and louder, and the sound became clearer and clearer from far to near.
When several dark red birds appeared in the field of vision and kept circling in the sky, the scar-faced man with a face as cold as ice gave a stern order:
"Get ready to meet the enemy! All land turtles immediately lie down to defend."
As his words fell to the ground, all the people sitting on the back of the giant turtle waved their whips and hit the giant turtle hard on the head.
These behemoths that were standing firmly immediately fell to their knees, and then they completely retracted their heads and limbs into their thick turtle shells.
It transformed into entities like blue rocks, lying on the road ahead, forming a solid barrier.
At the same time, the ground shook and rumbled in the distance, and a large amount of yellow sand emerged from the end of the ground, rushing towards here.
The billowing smoke blocked the line of sight, making it impossible for people to see through the specific situation ahead.
The scar-faced man looked solemn and waved his hands solemnly, and his teammates began to move. Their movements were uniform and their postures were full of military discipline.
When Yan Yun saw this situation, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he did not have too much suspicion about this strange phenomenon. However, the scene that followed made him confused again.
The scar-faced man suddenly raised his right hand, dropped a green pill into his mouth, and then let out a long roar.
A bright yellow light glowed all over his body, a layer of fine yellow hair sprouted on his face and arms, and his eyes turned a deep turquoise.
Then, he tapped the wolf's back lightly, and the mount let out a low groan and rushed out like an arrow.
Although his teammates did not undergo astonishing changes like him, they did so after performing some mysterious technique.
Everyone was shining with light of various colors, and they charged after him without fear.
Yan Yun stared at this scene, so surprised that he was speechless, but before he could think about the problem carefully, something even more shocking happened. (End of chapter)
