"What kind of creature is this?"

Yang Ji was completely stunned. He'd seen a lot of animals, but he'd never seen a creature before. Don't talk about it, I've never heard of it.

Yang Ji glanced at its body, there was a small hole dug out, which had now collapsed, and Yang Ji's kick directly cut off its retreat and sandwiched it in the crack of the stone.

"This guy has sharp claws, so be careful. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

The strange creature as white as snow had almost dug a passage through the rock, and its claws were almost as sharp as a blade.

"Click!"

There was a sound of rock breaking. As if sensing that the stone above it had been dug up by Yang Ji, the strange creature suddenly struggled to its feet, trying to break free from under the rock.

This white strange creature looked at its small body, but its strength was not small, and the rock, which was more than a foot thick, was actually shaken by it.

"That's a lot of effort. ”

Yang Ji was secretly surprised, the rocks on it were afraid that they weighed one or two thousand catties. But the creature that looked like a cub was able to shake it up casually.

This kind of power is probably equivalent to a martial artist of the second or third level of martial arts.

"Heh, little guy, when you meet me, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape. ”

Yang Ji smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed a raised piece of the rock, just pressed it slightly, and the whole rock immediately settled.

The little guy lay motionless below, just staring at Yang Ji with his eyes.

Yang Ji leaned down, he didn't dare to be careless, one hand pressed the back of the animal, and the other hand inserted into the crack in the rock, and a majestic blood qi poured into the palm of his hand, and suddenly exerted force.

Click. The rock loosened, and with a quick pull, Yang Ji pulled the four-foot-long animal out from under the heavy rock.

As soon as Yang Ji's hand was loosened, the one-zhang thick rock layer fell again. His strength is now rising, and this kind of "body life" has been lifted lightly.

"Let me take a closer look. ”

Only then did Yang Ji set his eyes on the animal in his hand. It was clasped by the scales on its back by Yang Ji and did not move. Only four short, sharp claws gripped hard, and they actually grabbed white air flow marks in the air.

"It's so solid. ”

This was Yang Ji's first feeling. An ordinary creature is about four feet or so at most a few dozen catties, but this creature gives him the feeling that it weighs at least hundreds of catties, and the muscles of his body are very solid.

Considering the fact that it can dig channels inside the rock, this dense muscle is not surprising.

"This is the kind of divine power that cubs have, and how powerful the adult body is. ”

Yang Ji was secretly surprised in his heart, he took out a finger early and gently teased the young beast. In a hurry, the young beast immediately scurried on all fours, and its mouth sizzled like the wind.

"Hahaha......"

Looking at the way the young beast screamed in a hurry, Yang Ji couldn't help laughing. He knew in his heart that this creature lived underground and was rarely seen.

This time, the snow is coming, and the weather is freezing, and it should be trying to breathe on the ground. I didn't expect it. Touched myself.

The cubs are very powerful...... Full body cover...... It is possible to make holes in the rocks...... , Yang Ji secretly pondered. Trying to connect the creature with something he's heard of.

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Yang Ji's heart moved, his eyes were concentrated, and he looked at this strange animal again. In the dark, a spiritual light crossed his mind, and Yang Ji suddenly remembered something:

"The head is like a mouse, and it has long ears. Covered with armor all over the body, it has great strength...... , isn't this the extinct ancient armadillo?"

Yang Ji is familiar with the scriptures, and all kinds of rare illustrated books, wild histories, legends, and unique books are also dabbled in.

"Ancient Armadillo". Not on the bestiary. But Yang Ji has heard the description of this kind of thing in some lonely legends:

The "ancient armadillo" is an ancient xenomorph, born with divine power, digging mountains like digging soil.

The "Ancient Armadillo" is said to be a powerful man who can compete with dragons. They live and nest underground. Usually like to hunt other fierce beasts on the ground, and drag them into the ground to eat for a long time.

The most peculiar thing about the "Ancient Armadillo" is that it is said to take off its scale armor ninety-nine times in its lifetime, and when it becomes an adult, when it changes to the last hundredth layer of scale armor, this layer of scale armor will cover all parts of its body.

At this time, whether it was the blood of the martial saint or the flame of the dragon, even the divine weapons could not help it.

This mature "armadillo" is extremely powerful, except that it can't fly, it is basically the king who walks sideways on the ground. Whether it is the fierce beasts of the same kind or the martial saints of the human race, they can't help them.

On top of that, the life of the armadillo is very long, far more than any other beast. If conditions allow, they can even survive for several epochs.

And the most terrifying thing is that there is no need to practice such a thing as an armadillo. Its power will increase over time, and it will never end.

This makes it even more terrifying than a dragon!

However, the "armadillo" is difficult to tame. Once growth is complete, it is almost impossible to surrender to anyone except death. Considering that the ancient armadillo has grown up, it is often difficult to subdue it when it is replaced with the hundredth layer of scale armor.

And because of their powerful forces operating underground, they often cause violent geological disasters. Therefore, many times, the "ancient armadillo" that is found to grow is often directly hunted and killed.

In ancient times, only some legendary powerhouses who broke through the limits of life and lived a long life would raise and tame this ancient xenomorph from a young age in order to gain their loyalty.

When the ancient xenos grow up with those powerful beings and have huge power, they will become mountain guardians or pets.

It is rumored that some sects will even build their sects on the backs of some particularly long-lived "armadillos".

"I remember the book saying that the young beasts of the ancient armadillo were very recognizable, and they had a fetal spot under their tail. I don't know if this one has one. ”

Yang Ji thought about it, and immediately picked up the slender tail of this young beast and looked at it carefully.

"This ...... There really is a fetal spot. ”

Yang Ji's eyes widened suddenly. I saw that under the tail of this young beast, a few inches away from the buttocks, there was a fetal spot like a copper coin, which was very regular, as if a copper coin was embedded in it.

"This little guy is really an ancient armadillo cub!!"

Yang Ji was really surprised.

The unique mark of the bronze coin-like ancient armadillo cub is shared by all cubs. And it's the same for everyone. This is one way to identify armadillos.

Yang Ji didn't expect that the young beast he captured was really an "armadillo young beast".

"The ancient armadillos have obviously gone extinct with the ancient times. Why is there a baby here? Looking at it, I'm afraid it's not more than ten years old. And the armadillo is obviously grayish-black and jet-black, so why is it only white? Is it a variant?"

Yang Ji thought secretly in his heart.

Ten years may be a long time for humans, but for those ancient xenos who have lived a long life. It is estimated that it is equivalent to a human baby of several months.

But the armadillo, which has only been born for ten years, is too weird. Could it be that this armadillo was born in modern times?

Yang Ji couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, in short, there were too many strange things on this armadillo.

"Sizzle!"

At the moment when Yang Ji was pondering, his hand suddenly loosened. This "armadillo cub" actually took advantage of Yang Ji's distraction, twisted hard, and used the smoothness of the scales to get rid of Yang Ji's control.

The next moment, the armadillo cub's body was like a bow and arrow. Shrinking and jumping, he actually jumped off the ground, and the short and sharp claws of his limbs made a hole in the ground at an incredible speed, and he quickly burrowed into the depths of the earth and disappeared.

“！！！”

Yang Ji's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.

This little thing...... This, this is too slippery, isn't it, where is there a little bit of surface so simple and cute?

"Interesting. I don't believe I'm still fighting a brute. ”

Yang Ji was very interested in his heart, such a "ghost" animal is almost like a human. In particular, it is still an extinct "ancient armadillo".

"I'd like to see where you can go. ”

Yang Ji's sleeve robe trembled, and his body was vertical, like an arrow from the string, and it was more than ten zhang at once, and a few rabbits fell and fell. Quickly head down the mountain.

The rocks at the bottom of the mountain are stacked, and it is impossible for Yang Ji to tear off the entire mountain.

However, Yang Ji didn't need to be so troublesome.

At the foot of the mountain, there was no obstacle from the rocks, and Yang Ji threw out the "Earth Walking Boat" without hesitation.

"Buzz!"

Blood. A six-foot-long blood-red boat immediately appeared on the ground. After "Elder Zhang" helped Yang Ji refine the "Earth Walking Boat", this magic weapon completely turned red, like a drop of blood.

"Boom!"

Yang Ji jumped on the "Earth Walking Boat", and without the obstruction of the rocks, Yang Ji immediately shot to the ground like an arrow from the string.

"Found it!"

Yang Ji's earth boat emitted a halo of pale yellow, suspended in the bottom of the mountains. Right next to Yang Ji, a tornado-like hole ran through it, and the hole went down, extending to the deepest part of the ground.

There was no light in the depths of the bottom, except for the light of the earth boat itself, everything else was endless darkness.

Yang Ji took a look, and only felt that the hole of the armadillo cub was dug very deep, and he couldn't see where it was going.

"It's really fast. ”

Yang Ji said with a smile in his heart.

It was already very fast for him to come down from the top of the mountain. However, the mutant armadillo was noticeably faster than it. In a moment, he had already followed the dug passage and went into the ground.

"I want to see where your nest is. ”

Yang Ji's heart was stubborn. He was not in a hurry, he drove the "earth boat" and swished, touched the melon, and drilled all the way to the depths of the ground along the armadillo hole.

Deep underground, he couldn't distinguish between the top and bottom, north and south, and Yang Ji could only judge by feeling.

"It's so deep!"

Yang Ji's speed is already very fast. But I still couldn't see the armadillo. Back underground, it's armadillo's territory.

Armadillos are born to dig holes, and although they are still cubs, they have the same skills. Yang Ji has a boat in his hand, but he can't catch up with this ancient xenomorph.

However, Yang Ji also discovered a strange place.

The armadillo's burrow is like a tree trunk, leading straight to the ground, with few forks.

"This little guy doesn't seem to be out very often. It's no wonder that almost no one has noticed it at all. ”

Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.

He even had a feeling in his heart that the "armadillo" had been hunted and killed in large quantities in ancient times, and this armadillo had probably developed a cautious habit and did not usually come out to move at all.

It is only in winter, when the snow is covered and there are few people and animals, that it comes out to breathe.

"If that's the case, then it's no wonder it's all white. This is obviously a protective color as well. It can protect it and make it less likely to be detected. ”

Yang Ji thought in his heart. (To be continued......)
