Chapter 1271: Sand Worm Beast

"Brother Han is not yet thirty, and to have cultivated the Vajra Art to this realm at such an age, no wonder Leader Zhang values you so much," the blue-robed girl asked with a smile. Net

"Miss Liu'er is too kind. It's just that although I signed the blood curse document, I really don't know much about the Tiandong Trading Firm. I wonder if you could introduce it to me?" Han Li smiled slightly and said.

"It seems Brother Han is not from our Tianyuan Realm, otherwise you wouldn't ask such questions," Liu'er's eyes rippled, and she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Why, is the Tiandong Trading Firm very famous nearby?" Han Li's eyes flashed, feeling a bit interested.

"Famous? Brother Han is really joking. Our trading firm is one of the three major trading firms in the Tianyuan Realm, with branches in hundreds of large and small cities, and our headquarters is even located in the Tianyuan Holy City," the blue-robed girl's mouth curled up, appearing quite proud.

But unfortunately, all of this meant nothing to Han Li, who had just ascended to the Spirit World.

In his mind, a hundred cities didn't seem like much; in the mortal world, any small country had far more than that. But looking at this girl's appearance, it seemed already quite impressive. He didn't know if the little girl in front of him was a frog in a well, or if the Spirit World was indeed quite different from the mortal world.

Han Li felt a bit strange, but his expression didn't show it, instead pretending not to know and nodding:

"Oh, so our trading firm is indeed not small. However, I heard the girls discussing just now that the caravan is going to Anyuan City. I wonder what kind of place that is, and how many days away is it?"

"You are not very honest, actually eavesdropping on our sisters' conversation," a red-robed girl who looked the youngest suddenly giggled from the side.

Han Li coughed lightly, feeling speechless. When these girls were talking, the volume was so loud that they didn't seem to want to avoid him at all.

"Qu'er, don't be rude. Brother Han, don't take offense. Qu'er is a bit young and actually has no malice," the blue-robed girl scolded the red-robed girl and apologized.

In her mind, although Han Li was a newcomer to the Tiandong Trading Firm, with such high-level body-refining techniques at such a young age, he would definitely be valued by the trading firm in the future.

She naturally didn't want her sisters to be at odds with the person in front of them.

Han Li smiled upon hearing this, and just as he was about to say something, the carriage shook slightly, and the giant turtle actually stopped.

This startled the blue-robed girl, but she immediately reacted with a delicate shout:

"Uncle Wang, what happened?"

"Girls, the Red Spirit Sparrow in front discovered a group of Sand Worm Beasts, seemingly eyeing the caravan," the old man who looked like a coachman outside the carriage answered.

"Just some Sand Worm Beasts, they only act on instinct. Just send some people to drive them away. Why stop the caravan? Our schedule is already a bit late," the blue-robed girl was a bit dissatisfied.

"But there is a low-tier insect demon among these insect beasts that has already opened its spiritual intelligence. If we don't kill it, I'm afraid there will be big trouble," the old man said with a bitter smile.

"A low-tier insect demon, that is a bit tricky. However, Leader Zhang's Tiger Overlord Art has also been cultivated to the fifth layer, right? If so, cooperating with the Golden Lustrous Sword spirit tool personally bestowed by the Madam, dealing with this demon shouldn't be a problem," the blue-robed girl said without thinking.

"What Miss Liu'er said is true, but there are several mutated insect beasts beside this insect demon, and Leader Zhang and the others might still be at risk dealing with them," the old man paused and said hesitantly.

"Mutated insect beasts! That is indeed dangerous. However, aren't there several cultivators like Daoist Nanchizi in the caravan? Let them make a move," the blue-robed girl's tone softened.

"Leader Zhang has already requested it, but was refused. Those Daoists are all cultivators from Goulu Mountain, and they are unwilling to make a move unless the insect beasts attack them first," the old man sighed and said.

"So troublesome. I said long ago not to hire these cultivators from Goulu Mountain; they have the most restrictions and rules," the red-robed girl wrinkled her nose, looking unhappy.

"This can't be blamed on Daoist Nanchizi and the others. Most of the cultivators from Goulu Mountain cultivate insect-driving divine abilities, and they don't have so many scruples when dealing with other types of demon beasts. Encountering insect beasts is an accident. In this way, the Madam temporarily handed that thing to me to control before she left. I will release it to help Leader Zhang. You tell him first, I will go out for a trip immediately," the blue-robed girl's expression became solemn.

"That thing, dealing with insect beasts naturally shouldn't be a problem," the old man outside the carriage seemed relieved upon hearing the blue-robed girl's words.

"Sister Liu'er, are you really going to release that thing? If something happens, I'm afraid the Madam will punish you," Xiang'er said worriedly.

"Rest assured, that thing has been tamed by the Madam for so many years and already possesses some spiritual intelligence. It won't even be at a disadvantage when confronting low-tier demon beasts, so dealing with a few mutated insect beasts is definitely no problem," the blue-robed girl smiled, appearing confident.

Then she flashed and walked out of the carriage door.

"I'm a bit worried, I want to go over and take a look," the youngest red-robed girl bit her lip and flashed, actually following her out.

Xiang'er and the last white-robed girl looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and without saying anything, moved their lotus steps and walked out of the carriage together.

In the blink of an eye, the large carriage was left with only Han Li.

He sat on the chair, looking at the half-closed carriage door, but narrowed his eyes and revealed a thoughtful expression.

A moment later, a harsh tiger roar came from nearby, full of bloodthirsty tyranny.

Han Li's expression moved, his eyes flashed, and he stood up slowly and walked toward the carriage door.

Pushing the carriage door gently, Han Li walked out of the carriage door without haste, stood on the edge of the giant turtle, and looked around.

Under the illumination of the seven bright moons in the air, Han Li saw everything nearby clearly.

The entire caravan was winding and twisting, a mile long, with a giant beast like the giant turtle under his feet every short distance, numbering more than thirty.

Most of the giant turtles were bulging, carrying giant cargo boxes no smaller than the giant turtles themselves, and each giant turtle had four or five strong men wearing various armors and holding weapons, while on both sides there were knights riding giant wolves patrolling back and forth, appearing heavily guarded.

However, none of this interested Han Li more than the things beside a giant turtle not far away.

Beside that giant turtle, a crowd had already gathered, among whom were Nanchizi, the scarred man, and the four girls including Liu'er.

In the middle of this group was a two-foot-tall square object, wrapped in a piece of oily, glowing black cloth. And from within the cloth, low beast roars were faintly heard.

The surface of this cloth was flashing with runes, and it was actually a low-tier magic tool.

At this moment, the blue-robed girl was holding a token in her hand, spraying out pieces of blue mist, seemingly casting a spell.

With Han Li's spiritual eyes washed by spirit liquid, even at such a distance, he could see it as if it were close at hand. He saw that this girl was wearing a jade-green bracelet on her wrist, embedded with several small spirit stones, shining brightly.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression moved, revealing a thoughtful look.

It seems that this so-called "spirit tool" must be activated by another object before it can be used by mortals. And since it is embedded with spirit stones, once the spiritual energy in the spirit stones is exhausted, this spirit tool will lose its effect.

Just as he was secretly guessing, the black cloth, after absorbing enough blue light, suddenly turned into a piece of black smoke and dissipated, revealing a delicate silver-white beast cage inside.

And inside the cage lay a crimson tiger-shaped monster.

From the outside, this tiger beast, except for its fur being bright red like blood, was no different from an ordinary tiger, but the gazes of the people around it couldn't help but carry a trace of fear.

As soon as this beast saw so many people standing outside the cage, fierce light flashed in its eyes, and suddenly, without any sign, it pounced wildly, slamming its body fiercely against the cage frame, causing the entire beast cage to shake violently.

The people surrounding it changed their expressions and couldn't help but retreat two steps.

The blue-robed girl took a light breath, but raised the token in her hand again, and immediately the token glowed with a red blood light.

Strangely, as soon as the tiger beast saw this red light, its ferocious appearance vanished, and it immediately lay honestly in the beast cage without moving.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Kui and the others felt relieved in their hearts.

At this moment, several bird cries came from the air, the calls tight and slow, seemingly passing some information.

"Those insect beasts are speeding up and have already surrounded the caravan. Everyone, prepare for battle immediately. Surround all the carriages in a circle. Just hold your ground and don't take the initiative to attack. As long as I kill that low-tier insect demon, the rest will disperse on their own," Zhang Kui said with a murderous look.

As soon as this was said, the entire caravan stirred.

The middle part didn't move, while the giant turtles at the front and back leaned toward the middle, the guards on the carriages raised their weapons, and the knights riding giant wolves on both sides gathered toward the middle.

And the blue-robed girl gave an order, and someone stepped forward to open the beast cage and release the tiger beast.

"Brother Han, your body hasn't recovered yet, so it's safer to return to the carriage. Those Sand Worm Beasts aren't good at jumping, and the carriage is made of deep iron wood, so there won't be any big problems inside for a while," the old man driving the turtle turned his head, grinned at Han Li, and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, old man, but I have never seen a Sand Worm Beast, so I want to see what they look like. If it's really dangerous, I will return to the carriage on my own," Han Li smiled lightly and replied.
