Chapter 5: Armadillo Defense
In the early morning, Ding Rui was refreshed. He pinned the knife to his waist and carried the steel knife behind his back.
At this time, his hair was dry and his face was clean, although his clothes were still a little shabby. However, because he has reached the first level of enlightenment, his face is faintly shiny, and he has a heroic spirit.
"Brother, you have to be careful!"
Han Yue stood at the door, her face full of melancholy.
Going to Qinglin Mountain to explore is indeed a good way to make money, and it can even be said that the prosperity of Baisha City is based on the existence of many beasts and demon beasts in Qinglin Mountain.
However, the animals are ferocious. The benefits are great, but so are the risks.
Han Yue's parents were both martial artists, and they both died in Qinglin Mountain. After that, she was adopted by Ding's father. However, in less than half a year, Ding's father also died there.
Now, Ding Rui is about to embark on the road to Qinglin Mountain again.
"Don't worry! Yue'er, I'm definitely back tonight! ”
Ding Rui patted Han Yue's little head lovingly, nodded at her, and then walked out of the inn proudly.
"Click!"
He had barely left the inn when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Then, I saw a red horse galloping from a distance.
Immediately seated was also a woman in red, with a delicate face and a slender figure. Her face seemed to glow when she was illuminated by the light reflected off her red clothes.
"Miss Dealer has gone out hunting again!"
"It's beautiful! Sure enough, she deserves to be the first beauty in my Baisha City! ”
"I don't know what kind of husband she will find in the future!"
Looking at the woman in red, passers-by were discussing.
"Zhuang Xiaofei!"
Ding Rui also cast his eyes on this woman, and her name was reflected in his mind.
There are two major families in Baisha City, the Zhuang family and the Qian family. Each has a beautiful woman, and is called Baisha Shuangshu.
The Qian family has a female name, Qian Yufeng, and now she has entered the Zixuanwu Academy, and she hasn't shown up for a long time. And this beauty of the dealer is Zhuang Xiaofei in front of her.
Not only is she beautiful and proud, but she also has excellent martial arts qualifications. Now that he has cultivated to the seventh order, I heard that he will go to participate in the assessment of the Qingyun Martial Academy in the near future.
Although everyone was looking at them and talking about them, Zhuang Xiaofei didn't seem to feel it. Without squinting, he sat proudly on horseback, walked out of Baisha City, and galloped straight towards the Qinglin Mountains in the west.
"Maybe I'll meet her in Qinglin Mountain?"
Looking at Zhuang Xiaofei's back, Ding Rui smiled, and then he also came out of the west gate of Baisha City.
As soon as he left Baisha City, Ding Rui ran.
Although he had not practiced the light body exercises, he had already opened up an acupuncture point in his body. The power of qi and blood is abundant, and the speed is very fast, almost the same as the speed of running a hundred meters on the earth in the past.
It took him three hours to finally reach the Qinglin Mountain Range.
The Chinlim Mountains is one of the largest forests in Kuching that spans several counties. In the outskirts of the mountains and forests, there are some fierce beasts, and after going deep into the mountains and forests for more than ten miles, there will be demon beasts.
Demon beasts are different from wild beasts, and legend has it that they are mutated beasts that have been impregnated with demonic energy. With all kinds of incredible powers, the strength is extremely powerful.
On the other hand, the materials on them will be more valuable.
Ding Rui didn't have the ability to deal with demon beasts now, he just wanted to find some fierce beasts. One is to kill them and draw the power of qi and blood. The second is to get valuable materials on them in exchange for money.
He now lives in the banker's inn, and although he is not afraid of the harassment of the Qian family, he spends a lot of money.
Even if he and Han Yue lived in a single room of the lowest level, even if they ate and lived, they would need at least five taels of silver every day. That is, if he can't make money, he can only stay at the dealer's inn for three days at most.
"Wealth is in danger! Fight! ”
Ding Rui took a deep breath, took off the steel knife he was carrying behind his back, and held it in his hand. Only then did he lightly enter the Qingyun Mountains and Forests.
When you first entered the mountains and forests, didn't you feel anything?
Soon, however, he had a feeling of palpitations.
It's as if something is staring at you.
"Outside the mountains and forests, there can be no demon beasts! At best, it will be a ferocious beast. As long as you can't kill me with one blow! I'll kill you! ”
Gritting his teeth, Ding Rui walked forward slowly, while listening intently.
"Whoosh!"
He had just thought of this when he saw a dark shadow appear in front of him and pounced on him.
The other man's movements were so fast that he still didn't know what kind of beast it was.
"Eight times the power!"
Without hesitation, Ding Rui waved the steel knife, and with one move, the mountain sword technique, like thunder, slashed at the black shadow.
"Whew!"
With a scream, the shadow fell to the ground.
"Ahh
In the same way, Ding Rui also screamed, his chest was grabbed heavily by a sharp claw, and his body retreated six or seven steps back.
Only then did he see the other party's appearance clearly, and it was a gray iron-backed wolf.
The head of the iron-backed wolf had been split in half, and it twitched vigorously on the ground. A strong smell of blood permeated the entire mountain forest.
"It's okay, if it's a beast of pure agility. Beasts such as the spotted lynx and the black-striped leopard, then I will be miserable, and I guess I won't even have a chance to hit the other party! ”
Ding Rui took a deep breath, and then looked at his wound again. The clothes were torn out of a gap, the flesh was blurred, and three deep claw marks stretched from the chest to the waist and abdomen.
If it hadn't killed the iron-backed wolf with the knife just now, it would have come again, and Ding Rui would have only had the path of death.
Holding back the pain, he moved in front of the iron-backed wolf and pressed his hand on the still warm wolf corpse.
"Suck it all!"
Although he wanted to make money, Ding Rui was not in a hurry, because promotion was more important.
As the gluttony in his mind regained its power, the iron-backed blue wolf turned into a powerful force of qi and blood, pouring into his body. Immediately, the wound began to heal and the circle of light in his mind began to grow.
"Good!"
When the power of qi and blood in the corpse of the iron-backed blue wolf was fully absorbed by him, Ding Rui screamed happily.
He was excited not only because he had fully recovered from his injuries, but also because the second aperture in his mind had finally closed.
At the same time, another barrier in the body was broken, and a ball of true qi was obediently stored in a new acupoint.
"Kosuke, what I'm going to awaken this time is the armadillo's defense!"
Then, Ding Ruicai said again.
"Yes, master!"
At the same time that Xiao Zhu agreed, in the second aperture in Ding Rui's mind, there was immediately an image of an armadillo.
The armadillo is an endangered species, also known as the armoured rat, that lives in the tropical forests of Central and South America. The back is draped in a layer of bony armor.
Unlike tortoise shells, the armor of the armored rat is movable, which is why Ding Rui chose armadillos instead of turtles.
Although the armadillo's armor can move, its defense is not bad at all.
In the past, Ding Rui once read a report that a man in Texas found an armadillo in his yard and shot it three times with a pistol. One of the shots hit the armadillo, but it bounced off the shell and bounced off his jaw, and he had to be taken to the hospital by helicopter for first aid.
