Su Jingyao happily put the evil baby into a specially made bag, and then affixed a talisman to seal it.

This will lock in the evil baby’s aura to the greatest extent possible to prevent it from leaking and affecting the quality.

You should know that a fifth-grade or almost sixth-grade evil infant is considered a rare treasure in Shang Jingtian.

It can be exchanged for a lot of Taoist skills.

After assembling the evil baby, Su Jingyao picked up the Thousand Silk Net and separated it from the insect skin inside.

After the giant worm was refined by the evil talisman, its flesh, blood, and bones all turned into evil energy and were extracted, leaving only this thick and tough skin.

It emits a strong fishy smell.

Su Jingyao wrinkled her nose and hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a difficult decision.

She handed the re-shrunk Thousand Silk Net to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan had just taken it when he heard the true disciple of Mingxiu Peak say, “Junior Brother Zhang, I’ll give this mysterious weapon to you, and then all the evil infants I hunted in the Qingxuan Secret Realm this time will belong to me, how about that?”

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment.

You should know that when agreeing to be Su Jingyao’s protector, both parties had already negotiated the conditions.

Su Jingyao is rewarded with Taoist merits, and there are also additional ranking rewards.

As for the spoils, according to Shang Jingtian’s past practice, the protectors usually get 20% to 30% of the spoils.

Su Jingyao gave Zhang Yuan 30%.

Zhang Yuan was not dissatisfied with this, otherwise he would not have accepted Su Jingyao’s invitation.

I didn’t expect that the other party would propose such a transaction condition.

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you at a disadvantage?”

The Thousand Silk Net is a high-level mysterious weapon, and its value is unquestionable.

Moreover, this grade of mysterious weapon cannot be exchanged in the Wu Pavilion Merit Hall.

In other words, only true disciples of the sect like Su Jingyao are qualified to possess it!
Zhang Yuan had previously used a thousand-thread net to capture a human-faced butterfly, and just now he captured a giant worm alive.

I am very clear about the function and power of this mysterious weapon.

The transaction conditions proposed by Su Jingyao would definitely allow him to gain a great advantage!

Zhang Yuan felt very sorry for the other party.

“The Thousand Silk Net is a waste in my hands.”

Su Jingyao answered seriously: “You are the most suitable owner for it!”

She is a Taoist practitioner, skilled in casting spells and setting up formations, and it is impossible for her to fight strange monsters in close combat like Zhang Yuan did.

The Thousand Silk Net is a close combat weapon and requires great strength to control it.

If the situation just now had happened to Su Jingyao, she would not have been able to hold on to the Thousand Silk Net at all, and would have been 100% certain that the giant worm would have broken free.

This high-level mysterious weapon is really a waste in Su Jingyao’s hands!
There was another very important reason that made her decide to give the Thousand Silk Net to Zhang Yuan.

It’s just that the reason cannot be expressed out loud.

But Zhang Yuan felt that Su Jingyao was speaking from the heart and it was not just an impulsive statement.

He pondered for a moment and said, “How about this, I’ll take the Thousand Silk Nets, and except for the Evil Infants, all of them will be yours, and I don’t want the guardian’s reward.”

Zhang Yuan didn’t like to take advantage of others, especially when the advantage was so big.

Therefore, the attitude is equally firm.

Su Jingyao looked at him deeply, nodded and said, “Deal!”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Yuan held the shrunken Thousand Silk Net in his hand, feeling quite emotional.

This is probably fate.

He really has a connection with this mysterious weapon!

Since Zhang Yuan had already sacrificed and refined the Thousand Silk Net before, there was no need to sacrifice and refine it again after it truly belonged to him. It was ready for combat!
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yuan said, “Don’t worry, I will try my best to catch more monsters!”

He felt that only by pushing Su Jingyao to the top three in the Jiufeng Competition would he be worthy of the latter’s efforts.

You can also feel at ease!

boom!
As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, a huge roar suddenly came from the distance.

It was like a landslide, and it made people feel terrified when they heard it.

Zhang Yuan and Su Jingyao exchanged glances, and the latter quickly retreated back into the magic circle.

Zhang Yuan looked in the direction where the sound came from.

However, the forest in that direction was dense, with ancient trees towering into the sky. Even if he had the ability to see in the dark, he could not see through the layers of barriers to see the scene in the distance.

boom! boom! boom!
The vibrations came one after another, from far to near, mixed with the sound of falling trees.

It seemed like some huge monster was approaching the deserted village!

Zhang Yuan clenched the Taowu knife in his hand again.

At this time, Su Jingyao, who was guarding the center of the magic circle, suddenly raised his arms and sleeves, and talismans shot out from his sleeves.

These talismans flew into the air one after another, silently exploding into balls of dazzling light.

Like flares, they instantly dispelled the thick darkness and illuminated a large area around.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan saw the attacking monster.

It turned out to be a huge stone man!
It is more than ten feet high and is made up of large, moss-covered rocks.

Its head, torso and limbs are extremely strong. Although it has no facial features such as eyes, ears, mouth and nose, there is a large horizontal slit on its face, which faintly emits a dark red light.

Every time this giant took a step, the ground would shake, and its power was so strong that it was terrifying.

It walked straight and resolutely towards the deserted village with firm and heavy steps, and all the big trees blocking its way were broken by it. It was truly extremely brutal.

“Rock Puppet!”

Su Jingyao said in a deep voice: “The Five Elements Circular Light Formation can’t stop it, let’s retreat!”

Her pretty face turned pale and there was fear in her eyes.

Rock puppets are rare monsters. They are born from the earth’s energy and gather stones to form infinite physical strength and extremely strong defense.

Su Jingyao had only read records about the Rock Puppet in ancient books, but now that she had actually seen this powerful monster with her own eyes and felt the terrible pressure from it, she realized that what she had seen in the books was too superficial!

Although retreating now means giving up the deserted village stronghold, they also give up the Five Elements Circular Light Formation.

But it’s better than losing your life.

Su Jingyao had no confidence at all that he could defeat this almost legendary monster.

“protect yourself!”

Zhang Yuan responded without hesitation: “Let me test its weight!”

The appearance of this so-called rock puppet was indeed beyond his expectations.

But it was far from enough to make Zhang Yuan feel afraid and retreat without fighting.

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward like an arrow.

Although the rock puppet’s speed seems to be very slow, it actually takes a step that is three or four feet away.

The two sides are approaching quickly!
When the distance was shortened to forty or fifty steps, Zhang Yuan suddenly jumped high.

He swung his sword in mid-air and chopped off the rock puppet’s head.

The Taowu sword in his hand suddenly emitted a blood-red blade light like a streak of silk, and the Pojun sword was as powerful as a storm, completely covering the target!

At the moment when Zhang Yuan launched a surprise attack, Yan Kui suddenly stopped, raised his arms and crossed them in front of him to protect himself.

Barely blocked Zhang Yuan’s sword attack! (End of this chapter)
