Chapter 67: The Strange Bronze Beast
From time to time, a cool cold wind blew from the other side, completely telling Chen Xu where the wind came from before.
Shouting at the top, asking the apes to throw down a torch, Chen Xu took a closer look at the surrounding situation by the light of the fire, and swept all the surrounding copper mountains.
It turned out that most of these copper mountains were copper powder, which was unusable, and only a small part still retained the appearance of red copper, but the number was too small, and just as he was scratching his head, something surprised him in the light of the fire.
Chen Xu's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at the thing in the copper powder in front of him in a daze, under the dim firelight and the cold light emitted by the unknown mineral crystals, he could clearly distinguish the scene in front of him, only to see that in the pile of copper powder in front of him, I don't know when a golden beast appeared.
The beast resembled a statue of a beast, covered in red gold, like an enlarged version of a pangolin, and surrounded by many scales that looked like gold leaves, making a rattling sound when touched.
The tail was pointed, shimmering in the dim light, showing its unusual sharpness, the neck was slender, as soft as a gooseneck, the head was small, triangular pyramidal, and the long mouth was stuck in the middle of a pile of cuprite, obscuring the front of the face, so that people could not get a full view.
"W-What is this?"
Shaking his body a little numbly, Chen Xu held the torch in one hand, and the silver horn in the other hand gently tapped on the body of the red gold statue, resulting in a pleasant crisp sound.
"Is this color really a brass statue? Why is it here?"
Feeling this, Chen Xu determined the identity of the statue of the object in front of him, so he let down his guard a little and reached out to touch this brass beast the size of a calf.
Sure enough, a cool touch came straight to Chen Xu's heart from the place of contact, this kind of touch is not something that flesh and blood life can have, the strange thing in front of him is indeed a statue.
But just as he was thinking about transporting the statue of unknown metal out of the cave and smelting it into several parts to make weapons, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.
This kind of throbbing was so strong, Chen Xu had only felt it before when facing the attack of the Overlord Sabertooth Tiger, this was the crisis sense naturally generated by his huge spiritual aura when he encountered mortal danger.
It was thanks to this that he was able to escape from the trial of the overlord saber-toothed tiger.
But here's not to mention the overlord saber-toothed tiger, except for himself, there is not even a single thing with signs of life, so where does this sense of crisis come from?
In the shock in his heart, Chen Xu didn't have time to think about it, the true qi in his body moved as he wished, and his whole body suddenly seemed to be suddenly broken into two halves, with his waist span as the center, and his upper body suddenly leaned back, falling vertically to the ground.
This is exactly the stunt iron plate bridge in martial arts novels, and with Chen Xu's current work, he can also use it decently.
Before he could fully land, a sharp golden light swept through the air above the door in front of him, and the evil wind brought up was so fierce that it almost instantly blew out a bloody hole on his cheek, and the slightest pain continued to be transmitted.
A moment later, the violent screaming sound from piercing the air was transmitted and sounded in Chen Xu's ears.
"What is this?"
Shocked in his heart, Chen Xu's arm propped up on the ground, and he couldn't care about the torch and silver horn in his hand, his body shrank suddenly, like a spinning top, and with the rebound force of the ground, he rushed to the copper powder next to him.
As soon as his figure moved, the deadly golden light passed in front of him again, but it was still a little late, just shaved off a large piece of the hair on the side of his body, revealing the dark skin under the hair, and the cool breeze blew, bringing him a cool feeling like ** body.
The sharp sound of breaking the air followed, the vigilance in Chen Xu's heart did not disappear, he didn't have time to think about it, he could only stretch his body with all his strength, and try his best to dodge to the side, until he turned over a few times one after another, and when he was five or six meters away from the place where he was originally standing, the warning sign disappeared.
At this time, he only had time to see what was going on on the field, and this golden light was so powerful that he really couldn't imagine what it was coming from.
It was the slap of the Overlord Sabertooth Tiger, in his opinion, there was no threat from this golden light, of course, at that time, the Overlord Sabertooth Tiger was bent on death, maybe the attack was released, but even so, it was terrible enough.
After Chen Xu felt safe, when he looked again, he found that unconsciously, most of the thick long hair on his body had been shaved clean, and the golden light was like a skilled barber, cutting off most of the long hair on the surface of his ape's body.
Feeling the cool feeling of this bare buttocks, Chen Xu couldn't help sweating on his forehead, took a step back unnaturally, and trembled in his heart, but he understood that if the few dodges just now were a little slower, then what was waiting for him was not a haircut, but a dissection.
"What a powerful golden light, what the hell is it?"
Pulling a piece of animal skin around his body, Chen Xu turned his eyes and looked at the place where he was standing before, and couldn't help but have a big question mark in his heart, in his field of vision, except for the pangolin that seemed to be made of brass, it was the thick copper powder, and there was nothing else.
"Wouldn't it?
In his panic, by the light of the fire still burning on the ground, Chen Xu's eyes suddenly moved to the brass beast's curled tail like a noodle, and at this time, he realized that if there was anything different on the field than before, it was the brass beast's original curled tail, which had now hung down like soft hair.
And in the dim cold light, it continued to tremble slightly, and there was a little crimson powder floating around, the copper powder that was pumped up in the air because of the rapid agitation of the air current.
In Chen Xu's field of vision, the gently trembling sharp golden light on the tail of the brass beast became brighter and brighter, and soon coincided with the terrible golden light in his impression, and they were no longer separated from each other.
At this point, he was completely sure of the identity of the attacker, and it was none other than this strange brass statue.
"Is it a strange mechanism, or is it something else hidden in this bronze beast?"
Looking at this scene, Chen Xu's mind turned rapidly, and just as he was thinking about whether this brass beast was a mechanism or something else, a faint red light suddenly appeared on the surface of the brass beast's body, starting from the head and gradually converging to the tip of its tail, making the already bright golden light more and more conspicuous.
A moment later, the yellow light flashed, and the sharp mouth of the brass beast inserted into the copper mountain had been retracted, and the eyeballs that originally seemed to be carved with red gold also began to blink slightly, the brass-colored eyelids continued to roll up and down, and the figure shook, and then the whole body rotated over, and officially faced Chen Xu.
"This thing is actually alive?!"
Shaking his head in disbelief, Chen Xu looked at the beast on the other side that seemed to have suddenly returned from its petrified state, how could he not connect it with the brass statue before.
Now the color of the brass beast's body gradually dimmed, except for a touch of golden light on the tip of the tail that still flickered, the brass-like color on the body quickly receded, turning into a faint gold, and the scales that originally seemed to be made of red gold were also reattached to the body, and some thin hairs protruded.
The crimson gold faded, and the jewel-like pupils regained their brightness, and there was a faint brilliance flowing in them, and the big eyes were watery, undoubtedly revealing the quality of its life.
"Roar!"
The pangolin-like beast that had recovered from its brass state seemed to be a little curious about Chen Xu, an ape-man who could dodge its attacks, blinked his big eyes and looked up and down for a moment, and suddenly raised his triangular head like a praying mantis, revealing a sharp tooth like a sharp knife.
With a roar, as if swearing its own territory, the brass beast's tail fluttered slightly, and the golden light streaked in a dazzling pattern in the air, and finally regrouped to form a spiral pattern like a mosquito coil, which hung behind its ass.
"What does that mean, want to attack?"
There was a mess in his head, and Chen Xu looked at the brass beast acting by himself a little blankly, not knowing what the hell this terrifying beast in front of him was going to do.
As if he was very disappointed with Chen Xu's performance, the brass beast's tail curled up into a mosquito coil pattern shook slightly, and there was obviously a trace of disdain in its bright big eyes, and then it seemed to stretch its waist a little tiredly, shook its neck quite elegantly, and then turned around and ran into the dark black area.
"Grandma's, look down on me?"
Chen Xu, who thought that the brass beast was about to attack, had just tensed his body, and found that this strange beast had fled into the darkness and disappeared completely, and that unique aura was quickly eliminated, and in the end, the aura disappeared completely, and he could no longer sense it.
At this time, he realized that this brass beast had left, although he didn't know why, but Chen Xu felt a trace of unhappiness from the bottom of his heart, it seemed that he was despised by this brass beast, this feeling was very mysterious, it was purely the induction of spiritual aura, and it could not be actually verified.
He snorted a little depressedly, but Chen Xu felt a sense of relief in his heart, after all, although the aura of this beast was not as good as that of the Overlord Sabertooth Tiger, the means that could cover up the aura at will, and the golden tail that was as fast as lightning all showed that it was terrifying.
If he fought with it, Chen Xu would not have the slightest certainty of victory in his heart, and he would not even have much certainty of saving his life.
The crisis was eliminated, Chen Xu began to check the copper ore inserted into the brass beast's mouth, faintly, he had a guess in his heart, the reason why the copper mine here is like this may be all the reason for this brass beast.
Sure enough, Chen Xu's arm easily stretched into this huge copper mine, centered on the fist-sized hole made by the brass beast's sharp mouth, and all the copper ore around it became a sieve, and with a slight touch, it completely collapsed.
In the end, only a few parts of the edge of the huge copper ore have not been sieved, and the texture of the copper ore is still retained.
"Sure enough, it's all the reason for this damn brass beast!"
With grinning teeth, Chen Xu checked some of the still intact cuprite mines around him, and found that all of them had a common feature, that is, they all had a hole the size of a fist.
He hadn't noticed this before, but now that he looked, the hole seemed to come out of a mold, and it was exactly the same in size and shape, and now, Chen Xu was completely sure of his speculation.
For some reason, the cuprite here attracted this strange brass beast, and the brass beast could absorb some magical things from it, or to evolve itself, or use it for other purposes, in short, once it lost these things, the cuprite would become a sieve powder, and it would no longer be as strong as before.
This has caused a strange scene here, but why there are so many cuprite mines here is not something that Chen Xu can figure out now.
