A day’s worth of results was even comparable to a month’s worth of her hard work. This kind of opportunity was not something that could be easily obtained.

The two of them looked at each other, and everything was conveyed without a word. Coold nodded slightly and continued to bury her head in her condition. She had exhausted a lot of energy throughout the day. If there were no accidents, she would have to take on the main responsibility tomorrow, so she could not slack off at all.

The night passed uneventfully, and everyone was back to their peak condition by daybreak. They continued on their journey under Lin Yi’s lead.

In the next two days, the group’s experience was scary but not dangerous. They did run into a lot of spirit beasts, but most of them were only at the Foundation Stage. They didn’t even need Lin Yi to do anything-Leng Leng and Lingshan were enough to take care of them. This was a true battle experience for everyone.

As for the occasional golden core stage spirit beast, Lin Yi could basically take care of them with a pure Qi fire bomb. At the very least, he could scare them away. As long as it wasn’t two or more appearing at once like before, it wasn’t a big problem.

Of course, golden core stage spirit beasts generally have their own territory. One territory can only have one master. Unless you just happened to step on the dividing line, the probability of encountering such a situation is not high.

However, on the third night, an uninvited guest came to Lin Yi’s group.

As usual, Leng Leng and the others gathered together to rest, while Lin Yi was guarding the tree out of habit. Suddenly, his expression changed-there was an aerial spirit beast approaching him at high speed from the furthest point of his senses.

“Goumang?” Lin Yi blinked-the shape of the flying beast was extremely blurry, but he could tell from its wings that it was probably goumang, the Taigu he’d fought before.

Lin Yi’s first thought was that the goumang King had caught up to him, but he quickly rejected that thought. The goumang wasn’t big, far from the goumang King’s size. It was a normal goumang at most.

It was just a normal goumang, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Let alone Lin Yi, even Leng Leng and the others could handle it with ease after a few days of actual combat training. However, Lin Yi’s expression was a little serious. He didn’t know why, but that goumang kept giving him a dangerous aura. This was a feeling he didn’t have even when he faced the ancient goumang King and the red-scaled snake.

“Something is coming from the sky. Everyone, be careful.” Lin Yi didn’t dare to delay and immediately warned Leng Leng and the others.

Leng Leng and the others were on high alert-they knew that this thing wasn’t ordinary, or else Lin Yi wouldn’t be so nervous and cautious these days. He wouldn’t even warn them and let them sense it themselves, testing their reaction speed.

Lin Yi hadn’t been playing the role of a guardian these past few days, but an instructor. It was just that it wasn’t the time to test them before he figured out the strength of the thing.

After a while, the thing was only a mile away from them. The mysterious aura around the thing could hide it from most people’s senses, but if Lin Yi still couldn’t see the face at this distance, he’d have wasted all these years.

“Bugs?” Lin Yi blinked. It had a pair of goumang race’s giant wings, but its body was a white and tender bug. It was a strange and funny sight. How could it be a bug?

“Insect? What bug?” Leng Leng and the others below were baffled. Their divine senses did not have such a far range. Even if they did, they would not be able to see through the unfathomable aura on the other party’s body.

Lin Yi didn’t reply, but he didn’t let his guard down. No matter how funny the man looked, his instincts told him that he was in danger. In the world of practitioning, people who judged people by their appearance didn’t live long, and Lin Yi wasn’t one of them.

In the blink of an eye, the man was less than twenty meters away from Lin Yi. He landed on a tree opposite him, facing Lin Yi.

“You’re Lin Yi?” The brain-eating insect sized Lin Yi up with interest.

Lin Yi was a little surprised. He could guess that the man was here for them, but he didn’t expect him to call out his name. He asked directly,”How did you know?”

“Simple, because I ate the ancient king goumang.” The brain-eating insect answered very frankly.

This answer immediately stunned everyone. Leng Leng and the others below looked at each other and couldn’t help but wonder if this fellow was bragging. Such a small insect could eat the huge ancient king goumang? what kind of joke was this?

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was deep in thought. He couldn’t imagine how this guy ate King goumang, but he chose to believe it based on his instincts. This was an extremely dangerous guy, far more dangerous than King goumang!

“Then … Who are you?” Lin Yi continued.

“Special envoy, in their words, it’s the special envoy of that Lord.” The brain-eating insect was still very Frank.

“Special envoy?” Lin Yi’s eyes flickered-he saw the giant wings on the man’s back disappear in an instant, and the man looked like a White Worm from head to toe, harmless to humans and animals.

As Lin Yi sized up the brain-eating insect, the brain-eating insect sized him up as well. As for Leng Leng and the others, the brain-eating insect wasn’t even interested in them. It seemed like the only person it was interested in was Lin Yi.

“You’re also here to capture Tributes?” Lin Yi continued to probe. This guy’s behavior was completely different from all the other spirit beasts they’d met before. All the spirit beasts, including King goumang and the red-scaled snake, were most concerned about the number of Tributes from the beginning to the end. They had almost no interest in a troublesome human like him, completely different from this insect envoy.

“I guess so.” The brain-eating insect’s answer was noncommittal. It was a special envoy, unlike the ancient king goumang who had to provide sufficient human Tributes in order to survive. Even if it did nothing, it would not be punished. However, since it had encountered it, it did not matter if it did something along the way.

“Alright, I have no more questions.” Lin Yi nodded, and just as he said that, coold and the others all understood and ran forward. This was the secret code they’d agreed on earlier-it was very dangerous to do this at night, and they could run into unpredictable dangers if they weren’t careful, but the enemy was right in front of them, so it was better than everyone staying here.

The brain-eating insect wasn’t surprised. A new pair of wings appeared on its back, and it immediately used one of the goumang tribe’s signature moves, wind blade, on the fleeing group. (To be continued.) ”
