Chapter 882

~11 min read 2,030 words

The blue-robed person was shocked and hurriedly urged the brocade-like magic treasure under his feet to shoot backward, wanting to dodge the attack of the two Ape Vultures.

But he clearly underestimated the two Ape Vultures. Since they were Rank 2 demon beasts, they naturally had some divine abilities.

I saw the two demon birds had not yet landed when their shrill cries, like ape howls, escaped their mouths.

Upon hearing this sound, the blue-robed person felt as if his brain had been fiercely struck by a heavy hammer, and his body couldn't help but sway, unable to stand steady. A foul-smelling wind immediately pressed down on his head. The blue-robed person let out an "ah," and his face instantly turned pale.

Almost at the same time, two muffled sounds of "pu pu" came, and two fireballs the size of fists shot out from nowhere, silently and accurately hitting the two demon birds.

The sound of bursting rose, red light flickered, and two raging flames enveloped the Ape Vultures, the intense heat instantly spreading through the nearby space.

The ape cries came to an abrupt end.

The blue-robed person was naturally pleasantly surprised, feeling as if he had escaped death. He wasn't stupid; he immediately urged his magic treasure, "sou" sound, and shot to a place ten zhang away, hurriedly taking out a talisman and sticking it on his body.

A layer of yellow light shield suddenly appeared on his body.

At this moment, the blue-robed person felt slightly relieved, realizing that practicing magic spells and actually fighting were two completely different things. He had almost lost his life as a newly established Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look toward one side below, and saw Han Li, who was wearing the same cloak, standing there. Surprised, he naturally knew who had saved his life.

Han Li's two fireballs released with Foundation Establishment cultivation naturally couldn't exterminate the two Rank 2 demon beasts, but instead, they made the two Ape Vultures, who had had many of their feathers burned off, fly out from the flames and become extremely ferocious.

Immediately, these two demon birds, with many of their feathers burned off, ignored the blue-robed person and turned to swoop toward the carriage where Han Li was.

As for the other Ape Vulture that had had one claw cut off, it still swooped toward the blue-robed person with blood-red eyes.

Han Li looked at the two giant birds flying over, his eyebrows furrowed unconsciously. Suddenly, he patted the storage bag at his waist, and two rays of white light shot out.

Then, after flickering in the wind, two snow-white centipedes half a foot long appeared in the air.

Compared to the Ape Vultures, these two centipedes were disproportionately small, but after being released, they appeared extremely excited, emitting strange squeaks from their mouths, and without any fear, they flew directly to meet the two Ape Vultures.

The two demon birds that were swooping over, upon seeing these two centipedes being summoned, actually showed signs of shrinking on their ape heads for some reason. After sniffing carefully, they were terrified and immediately turned around to flee.

The aura of ancient strange insects was naturally not something such low-tier demon beasts dared to approach.

But the two centipedes had no intention of letting them go. After emitting strange cries simultaneously, they opened their mouths, and two streams of white, hazy cold Qi surged out, instantly turning the nearby area into a vast expanse of white. The Ape Vultures only had time to let out a miserable cry before being submerged in it.

The two centipedes then "sou" sound, and without hesitation, shot into the cold Qi.

Han Li saw this and stopped paying attention to the situation in front of him, turning his gaze toward the blue-robed person.

I saw that blue-robed person sweating profusely, urging the small sword magic treasure, and fighting fiercely with the largest injured Ape Vulture.

Although the demon bird was heavily wounded, it remained ferocious. Its entire body transformed into a brown gray shadow, nimbly moving around the blue-robed person, fiercely grabbing at the protective shield with its only claw, and its cries were incessant, making the blue-robed person flustered and unable to focus on the enemy.

And that sword magic treasure, although powerful, was controlled by someone extremely inexperienced. Although it had unexpectedly wounded the enemy just now, it could only follow behind the demon bird, struggling to catch up.

As for using other magic spells or talismans, it was clearly beyond the blue-robed person's ability. Just controlling the sword was already difficult enough, let alone being distracted.

If no accident occurred, defeat and death were only a matter of time.

Han Li's cold gaze turned on this Ape Vulture a few times, and just as he was thinking about whether to take this demon bird down as well, the demon bird seemed to sense something. Suddenly, it let out a sharp cry, and its wings flapped, shooting into the sky, reaching ten zhang away in the blink of an eye.

This scene surprised not only the blue-robed person but also Han Li. But after a cold snort, he raised his hand without hesitation, and a red line flashed and shot out.

The demon bird's body trembled, and it fell from the sky, hitting the ground heavily and remaining motionless.

Although he had only just entered the Heaven's Reach Grassland, Han Li had heard that this kind of demon bird called the Ape Vulture was extremely vengeful.

He didn't want to have any unnecessary trouble in the future. It was better to leave none behind.

But this move by Han Li startled the blue-robed person, who blurted out:

"Flying needle, you actually have a needle magic treasure." His voice was full of surprise.

"Why, is it strange for me to use a needle-type magic treasure?" Han Li glanced at the opponent and said indifferently. He reached out and beckoned to the demon bird's corpse on the ground, and a red line shot back, falling into his palm after a flash of brilliance.

It was indeed a red, flashing silver needle an inch long.

"Of course not, it's just..."

Before the blue-robed person could explain, two muffled sounds of "pu" "pu" came from the side.

Two crystal-clear, white giant ice blocks fell from the sky, smashing two pits several feet deep into the ground. And inside the ice blocks, two other Ape Vultures were trapped, only these two demon birds now had solidified eyes, clearly having lost their breath.

The blue-robed person was dumbfounded. Light flickered on the ice blocks, and two rays of white light soared into the sky, circled around, and landed on both sides of Han Li's shoulders, revealing the original form of the centipedes.

"Are these spirit insects you raised?" The blue-robed person swallowed and asked blankly.

"Correct, these are the two Cold Snow Centipedes I raised!" Han Li reached out and stroked the back of one of the centipedes, saying calmly.

The Cold Snow Centipede was not something Han Li made up randomly; there really was such a strange insect. Its adult form was very similar to the current form of the Six-Winged Frost Centipede. Unless one was a cultivator proficient in insect-driving, it was not easy to distinguish between the two.

"Is fellow Daoist willing to transfer these? Feng is willing to pay a high price to buy them!" What Han Li never expected was that the blue-robed person, after looking at these two centipedes, actually said this somewhat eagerly.

Han Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed lightly.

"Fellow Daoist, are you joking? Not to mention that the spirit insects have already recognized their master, even if I were willing to sell this flying needle magic treasure, you might not be able to afford it."

"Spirit stones are not a problem. Fellow Daoist, just name your price!" The blue-robed person seemed wealthy and said without thinking.

After seeing Han Li command this needle to kill the demon bird in an instant, he became somewhat enthusiastic.

Han Li narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, but after staring at the opponent for a long time, his expression sank, and he said coldly:

"Apologies! I am used to using this needle, and I have no intention of selling it for the time being."

"If fellow Daoist is unwilling, then forget it. If I had such a sharp magic treasure, I wouldn't sell it easily either. Just pretend I didn't say anything. I am Feng Yue, and I haven't thanked you for saving my life. May I ask fellow Daoist's honorable name?" The blue-robed person was extremely disappointed, but after his eyes turned slightly, he asked with unusual politeness.

"My surname is Han! Let's have someone clean up first." Han Li said indifferently.

"Clean up?" The blue-robed person was stunned. After scanning his surroundings, he realized that at some point, the mortals who had been hiding everywhere had already stood up. Only, everyone looked at them with awe, gathering in a place ten zhang away.

Only Ying Lu and the big man surnamed Ba stood closer, listening to the conversation between the two immortal masters. The old man, in particular, was grinning from ear to ear.

He had seen clearly just now that these three terrifying demon birds, which they couldn't resist at all, were almost all exterminated by the Immortal Master Han he had hired halfway. This immortal master's divine abilities were far beyond his expectations; it was truly an unexpected joy!

It seemed that even if they traveled alone, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"You handle these demon beasts. Except for the claws and the long feathers on the tails, the skin and meat are useless to me. You can keep them." Han Li said to the big man and the old man in a tone of command.

According to the rules of the grassland, whoever exterminates the demon beast naturally owns the items.

Although in reality, these low-tier materials were not worth mentioning to Han Li, since he was only playing the role of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he naturally couldn't act as if they were worthless.

"Yes! I will obey the immortal master's orders." The old man was overjoyed again.

Although the skin and meat of the Ape Vulture were not worth mentioning to cultivators, they were rare items to mortals. They could be exchanged for many good things.

The big man also agreed respectfully from the side.

Then, after the two of them shouted, several strong youths walked over and headed toward the three demon bird corpses, preparing to handle the corpses according to Han Li's instructions.

The one exterminated by Han Li's flying needle was fine, but the two frozen ones needed to be smashed with a giant hammer.

"Immortal Master Feng, if you are fine, go back and rest. I am also a bit tired, so I will return to my carriage first." Han Li turned his head and said coldly to the blue-robed person, then without waiting for the other to say anything, he turned and left on his own. Judging by the direction, he was heading toward the largest building, a two-story giant stone hall.

The blue-robed person saw Han Li's indifferent attitude and felt a chill in his heart.

Originally, seeing that the opponent's magic treasure and spirit insects were so powerful, he had wanted to make friends for other purposes, but he didn't expect the opponent to not even give him a chance to speak, leaving so coldly.

This made him extremely embarrassed.

But the opponent had just saved his life, and his strength was clearly extraordinary, so he couldn't flare up.

After a while, the blue-robed person finally sighed and returned to his carriage somewhat dejectedly.

He didn't know that Han Li, sitting in the carriage, was looking at his back with flickering eyes, pondering silently.

"Master! This person has some background, but why is Master so distant to him?" Silver Moon's strange voice came into Han Li's mind.

After resting for this period, although her vitality was still severely damaged, she could finally speak without hindrance.
