Xiao Yu and the others stretched their heads and looked over there. From the collision just now, they could tell that the other party was hunting.
"Set the arrow, shoot the arrow, we must catch the stone-eating beast today."
A man wearing a gorgeous brocade robe quickly sprang out from the reeds and shouted loudly to everyone.
Roar……
As soon as the man's voice fell, the reeds began to shake violently, and then suddenly there was a roar of wild beasts, and then the hunting team in the distance suddenly became restless.
A dozen men in black, each holding a weapon, surrounded a beast covered in yellow armor.
This is the stone-eating beast. This kind of beast does not exist in the Yang world. It looks like a large turtle, with palm-sized earth-yellow scales covering its body. It is somewhat similar in appearance to a pangolin.
A tail that was only as thick as an arm was trailing behind him, swaying constantly.
Stone-eating beasts eat stones as their main food, and sometimes also eat the bones of wild beasts. They are solitary animals and have a strong sense of territoriality. If they are angered, they will bite anything into pieces.
But stone-eating beasts usually appear in mountains and rivers, because there are abundant rocks there to provide them with food.
But this stone-eating beast appeared in the swamp, something a little unusual.
"Do it, catch this beast for me."
The man in brocade robe waved his hand, and the men in black launched another attack on the stone-eating beast.
A spear was as fast as lightning and struck directly at the stone-eating beast's head, because the stone-eating beast's body was very defensive and only the neck was relatively soft.
However, right now, the stone-eating beast suddenly curled its head into its scales.
boom……
Only a friction sound was heard, and the spear hit the stone-eating beast, leaving only a white mark on the opponent's body, but the spear curled directly.
kill……
Attacks from others followed, and at this moment, several of the stone-eating beast's claws quickly retracted into its belly.
At this moment, the stone-eating beast turned into a huge ball, with all the rock-like scales on its body standing upright, like a big hedgehog.
Bang... bang bang.
Everyone's attacks landed on the Stone-Swallowing Beast Mountain, but none of them caused any damage to the opponent, and all the weapons of those people were shattered.
Seeing this scene, those people surrounding the stone-eating beast suddenly had a bad feeling. Someone suddenly shouted:
"Run quickly, the stone-eating beast is going crazy."
As soon as the man's voice fell, the stone-eating beast that had just turned into a ball suddenly stretched out its four claws, and then kept stirring the soil under its feet.
Under the constant waving of its four claws, the stone-eating beast's body began to rotate continuously, like a giant top, crushing those who attacked him.
The huge body rotated in the reeds, causing the entire swamp ground to start shaking like water waves.
It turns out that this place is indeed a swamp, because over time, dead branches and leaves mixed with the soil on the water surface, and then under the baking of the sun, a mud layer on the water surface was formed.
The rotten fallen leaves and sufficient groundwater provide rich growth conditions for reeds, so people see this place as a reed marsh.
If a normal person walks on such a reed marsh, he will not feel anything strange at all. However, once a heavy object appears on it and runs violently, the entire reed marsh will begin to shake like water waves.
Under the constant rotation of the devouring beast, the entire swamp spread like air waves in all directions.
Help, help...
When the few people closest to the stone-eating beast saw the huge body suddenly rushing towards them, they all acted like fools and even forgot to run away.
Then the sound suddenly stopped, and the stone-eating beast directly ran over the men.
The guard who was running around just now was now crushed into a meat pie.
After crushing five or six people to death in a row, the Devouring Beast stopped, and then its head protruded from its scales and began to taste the humans it crushed to death.
"You bunch of trash, use iron chains, use iron chains, I want to catch those alive."
The man in brocade robes stood in the distance and shouted to the guards who were still running.
"Yes, sir."
"Iron lock formation..."
Several guards jumped out one after another, and a thick chain appeared in each hand.
Several of them kept turning around the Devouring Beast, throwing out the iron chains in their hands at the same time, and entangled themselves with each other.
"Go on, Master, I want to capture the stone-eating beast alive."
The young master in brocade robes was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, the five or six men next to him also jumped out and began to surround the stone-eating beast.
But the stone-eating beast squatted there, still tasting the human entrails, as if it had not heard of the iron chains wrapped around its body.
"It's really useless. If you hadn't put out my fire just now, this beast would have been burned to death long ago."
Behind the man, an old man said with some dissatisfaction.
"You know what the hell, the bushes here are so dense, and all we rely on is this mountain forest. If this mountain forest is burned down by fire, the monsters will definitely go elsewhere. What are we going to do at that time?
With your little ability, it's easy to set a fire, but if you put it out, I don't think it's that easy."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he was scolded by the man in brocade robes in front of him.
"Hehe, the young master is right, but with these forest barbarians, it is impossible for them to subdue the devouring beast.
The devouring beast is extremely powerful. If it devours flesh and blood, it will become violent. If we don't kill it directly now, even if I am afraid, I will not be his opponent later."
The old man reminded from the side.
"How could I not know the nature of this stone-eating beast? The life of a strong man is worthless. Once they wear away the spirit of the stone-eating beast, I will personally take action and tame this thing as my mount. Just wait and see.
By the way, did you bring those guys you caught last time too?
This time we want to play a big game. Someone saw a dark mantis under the swamp. If they catch that thing, huh..."
The man in the brocade robe seemed to have thought of something funny, and then he smiled proudly.
But the old man behind him shook his head.
"The dark mantis only appears at night, and that thing is as fast as lightning, so you have to do what you can!"
Dark Mantis, perhaps only those who have really seen it know what terror is.
It was as black as ink, two meters long, and its two demonic knives had killed countless people.
Some powerful people didn't dare to provoke them when they saw him. This young master from Jiufeng Palace dared to hit his opponent's attention. I don't know if he ate too much or didn't drink the medicine!
But as a subordinate, the old man could only stop there. The other party wanted to die, so what did it have to do with him!
"Old man, don't worry. Since I dare to come, I have a complete plan. You will know by night. I am bound to win this dark mantis, and no one can stop me."
The man in brocade robe clenched his fists, as if he was extremely excited.
The Dark Mantis can be said to be a killer cultivated by heaven and earth. As long as it targets it, there will be no good fruits to eat, and this is exactly what men need.
