Yang Ji was completely stunned. He had seen a lot of animals, but he had never seen this kind of creature. Not to mention seeing it, he had never heard of it.
Yang Ji took a look under its body. There was a small dug hole there, which had collapsed. Yang Ji's kick directly cut off its escape route and trapped it in the crevices of the rocks.
"This guy has very sharp claws, so you have to be careful."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
This strange creature as white as snow has almost dug a tunnel into the rock, and its claws are so sharp that they are almost as sharp as a knife blade.
"Crack!"
There was a sound of rock formations breaking. It seemed that Yang Ji had dug up the rocks above. The strange creature suddenly struggled and tried to get out from under the rocks.
This strange white creature may not look big, but it is very strong. The rock over a foot thick was actually shaken by it.
"What a strength."
Yang Ji was secretly surprised. The rock above probably weighed one or two thousand kilograms. But this creature that looked like a cub could actually shake it casually.
This kind of power is probably equivalent to that of a warrior at the second or third level of martial arts.
"Hehe, little one, if you meet me, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."
Yang Ji smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed a raised piece on the rock, and with just a slight press, the entire rock immediately settled.
The little guy lay motionless underneath, just staring at Yang Ji.
Yang Ji leaned down, not daring to be careless. He pressed one hand on the animal's back, inserted one hand into the crack of the rock, and the majestic blood flowed into his palm, and he suddenly exerted force.
Click. The rock came loose. With a quick pull, Yang Ji pulled the four-foot-long animal out from under the thick rock.
Yang Ji let go of his hand, and the ten-foot-thick rock layer fell down again. Now that his strength is increasing day by day, this kind of "physical work" has become easy.
"Let me take a closer look."
Only then did Yang Ji turn his attention to the animal in his hand. The scales on its back were held by Yang Ji and it could not move. Only four short and sharp claws were holding it hard, and it actually grabbed strips of white in the air.
Airflow voids.
“So solid.”
This was Yang Ji's first feeling. Ordinary creatures, about four feet tall, weighed at most a few dozen kilograms, but this creature gave him the feeling that it weighed at least hundreds of kilograms, and its body muscles were very solid.
This dense muscle is not surprising considering the fact that it can dig tunnels into rock.
"This is why cubs have this kind of magical power. How powerful is the adult body?"
Yang Ji was secretly surprised. He had already used a finger to tease the little beast gently. The little beast was so anxious that it immediately ran around on all fours and made a hissing sound like the wind from its mouth.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing the cub screaming in anxiety, Yang Ji couldn't help but laugh. He knew in his heart that this creature lived underground and rarely appeared.
This time, when heavy snow came and the weather was freezing, it probably wanted to come up to the ground to get some air. But unexpectedly, it bumped into itself.
The cub is very powerful... it's covered in armor... it can dig holes in rocks..., Yang Ji thought secretly, trying to connect this creature with the creatures he had heard of.
etc!
Suddenly, Yang Ji's heart moved, his eyes were focused, and he looked at this strange animal again. A flash of light flashed through his mind, and Yang Ji suddenly remembered something:
"The head looks like a mouse, with long ears. The whole body is covered with armor and has great strength... Isn't this an extinct ancient armadillo?"
Yang Ji is familiar with scriptures, various rare illustrated books, unofficial histories, legends, and rare books, and he also dabbles in them on a daily basis.
"Ancient Armadillo" is not in the illustrated book. But Yang Ji has heard descriptions of this kind of thing in some unique legends:
The "Ancient Armadillo" is an ancient alien species with innate supernatural power, capable of digging mountains like dirt.
The grown "ancient armadillos" are said to be powerful enough to compete with dragons. They live underground in their lairs. They usually like to hunt other ferocious beasts on the ground, drag them underground and eat them for a long time.
The most peculiar thing about the "ancient armadillo" is its scales. It is said that it sheds them ninety-nine times in its life. When it reaches adulthood and puts on the last hundredth layer of scales, this layer of scales will cover its entire body.
all parts of.
At this time, neither the blood of the Martial Saint, nor the flames of the dragon, nor even the divine weapons can do anything to it.
This kind of mature "armadillo" is extremely powerful. In addition to being unable to fly, it is basically the king of walking sideways on the ground. No matter whether it is the same kind of ferocious beasts or human martial arts saints, they can't do anything to them.
The most important thing is that the life of "armadillo" is very long, far longer than other ferocious beasts. If conditions permit, they can even survive for several epochs.
The most terrifying thing is that the "armadillo" does not require training. Its power will continue to increase with time and will never end.
This makes it even scarier than the dragon!
However, "armadillos" are difficult to tame. Once they grow, it is almost impossible to surrender to anyone, unless they die. Considering that the ancient armadillos have completed their growth, it is often difficult to tame them with the hundredth layer of scales.
And because of their powerful activities underground, they often cause severe geological disasters. Therefore, many times when "ancient armadillos" are found in full growth, they are often directly hunted and killed.
In ancient times, only some legendary strong men who broke through the limits of life and had long lifespans would raise and tame these ancient alien species from childhood to gain their loyalty.
When the ancient alien species grow up with those tyrannical beings and possess huge power, they will become guardian beasts or pets.
Rumor has it that some sects will even build their sects on the backs of some particularly long-lived "armadillos".
"I remember it was said in that book that the cubs of ancient armadillos are easy to identify. They have a fetal spot under their tails. I don't know if this exists."
Yang Ji thought about it, and immediately picked up the cub's slender tail and looked at it carefully.
"This... actually actually has a fetal spot."
Yang Ji's eyes widened immediately. He saw that under the cub's tail, a few inches away from its buttocks, there was a fetal spot like a copper coin. It was very regular, as if a copper coin was embedded in it.
"This little guy is actually the cub of an ancient armadillo!!"
Yang Ji was really surprised.
The unique markings of ancient armadillo cubs, which look like copper coins, are common to all cubs. And they are the same no matter which individual they are. This is one way to identify armadillos.
Yang Ji did not expect that the cub he captured was actually an "armadillo cub".
"The ancient armadillos have obviously become extinct with the ancient times. Why is there still a cub here? Judging from its appearance, I am afraid it is not even ten years old. Moreover, the armadillos are obviously gray and black. Why is this
Will it only be 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 alien species with long lifespans, it is estimated to be equivalent to a few months of human babies.
But an armadillo that is only ten years old is too weird. Could it be said that this armadillo was born in recent times?
Yang Ji thought about it but couldn't figure it out. In short, there were too many strange things about this armadillo.
"Sizzle!"
At the moment when Yang Ji was deep in thought, his hand suddenly loosened. This "armadillo cub" actually took advantage of Yang Ji's distraction and twisted it hard, using the smoothness of its scales to escape Yang Ji's control.
The next moment, the armadillo cub's body was like a bow and arrow. It flinched and jumped down to the ground. Its short and powerful claws punched a hole in the ground at an incredible speed, and it quickly penetrated deep into the earth.
everywhere, disappeared.
"!!!"
Yang Ji opened his eyes wide and was stunned.
This little thing... this, this is too slippery, how can it be so innocent and cute on the surface?
"Interesting. I don't believe I can't fight a beast."
Yang Ji became very interested. Such a "ghost" animal was almost like a human being. Especially an extinct "ancient armadillo".
"I want to see where you can run to."
Yang Ji's sleeves and robes trembled, and his body swung up, like an arrow from the string, which was more than ten feet away, and several rabbits and falcons flew down the mountain quickly.
There are piles of rocks at the bottom of the mountain, and it is impossible for Yang Ji to tear down the entire mountain.
However, Yang Ji doesn't need to go to such trouble.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, there was no obstacle of rocks, so Yang Ji threw out the "ground boat" without hesitation.
"Buzz!"
A bloody light suddenly appeared. A six-foot-long blood-red boat immediately appeared on the ground. After "Elder Zhang" helped Yang Ji refine the "Earth Boat", the magical weapon completely turned red, as if it was dripping blood.
"boom!"
Yang Ji jumped on the "Earth Boat". Without the obstruction of the rocks, Yang Ji immediately shot towards the ground like an arrow from a string.
"found it!"
Yang Ji's ground boat exuded circles of light yellow light, floating under the mountains. Right next to Yang Ji, a tornado-like underground tunnel criss-crossed, extending downwards to the deepest part of the ground.
There is no light deep in the bottom, except for the light of the boat itself, everything else is endless darkness.
Yang Ji took a look and felt that the burrow of the armadillo cub was very deep, and he couldn't tell where it led to.
"It moves really fast."
Yang Ji smiled in his heart.
He came down from the top of the mountain very quickly. However, the movement of this mutated armadillo was obviously faster than it. In just a moment, it had already followed the dug tunnel and burrowed into the ground.
"I want to see where you dug your nest."
Yang Ji's stubbornness grew in his heart. He was not in a hurry, he drove the "ground boat" and with a swish, he followed the armadillo's burrow deep underground.
It was impossible to tell up, down, north, and south deep underground, so Yang Ji could only judge by feeling.
"So deep!"
Yang Ji chased at a very fast speed, but still couldn't see the armadillo. Back underground, this place became the territory of the armadillo.
The armadillo is born with the ability to dig holes. Although it is still a cub, its skills are the same. Yang Ji had a boat in hand, but he could not catch up with this ancient alien species.
However, Yang Ji also discovered a strange place.
An armadillo's burrow is like a tree trunk, leading straight to the ground with few branches.
"This little guy seems to rarely come out. No wonder no one has discovered it at all."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
He even had a feeling in his heart that "armadillos" were hunted in large numbers in ancient times. This armadillo might have developed the habit of being cautious and would not come out to move around at all.
Only in winter, when the snow is white and there are few people and animals, does it come out to breathe.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder that it's all white. This is obviously a protective color. It can protect it and make it less likely to be discovered."
