Ordinary monsters cannot cultivate in two extreme environments, and the one Xiao Yu and the others encountered now is most likely a mutated beast.
Mutated beasts refer to those whose bodies slowly undergo some changes due to the influence of the environment.
According to the theory of evolution of the earth, before any living things appeared, the earth was as hot as a speck of dust in the vast universe.
Afterwards, the asteroid broke up and brought some precipitation as it collided with the Earth.
Over and over again, precipitation slowly increased, and the earth's temperature also dropped to a time suitable for the development of life.
Driven by hot and cold environments, microorganisms appeared, followed by hundreds of years of evolution, and seawater was no longer sufficient for survival.
The oldest ancestors of human beings appeared. They landed on land in order to survive. Later, they evolved legs and feet, and the most important upright spine. Later, they became apes. Apes gradually became adults during the process of evolution.
Such changes can be called mutations, just for the needs of life.
Although Xiao Yu didn't know what kind of thing was in the water, the other party must have developed a set of life-saving skills for being able to survive until now.
Otherwise, in this alternating hot and cold environment, what kind of creatures can survive for a long time?
Seeing this, Xiao Yu casually cast a few spells around him, then took out a few formation flags and walked around.
"Dead people dare not touch it, but I can take a look at this living thing."
As Xiao Yu spoke, a demon mirror appeared in his hand. A little above, the demon mirror flew up into the sky, and then a golden light spilled out, shooting directly to the bottom of Liangyi Pond.
The ghost corpse and the Silkworm Emperor came behind Xiao Yu. They all wanted to see what kind of monster had been living here for thousands of years.
After the golden light on the demon mirror shot out, the pond water did not change at all, but in a deep cave at the bottom of the pond, a maggot-like creature with moss hanging on its body and two horns on its head, one red and one white, suddenly opened its eyes.
.
Immediately afterwards, the maggot roared, and a ring like a fish fin suddenly opened around its neck, and the black and white stripes on its body stood up, making it look particularly ferocious.
Liangyi Spring began to roll out bubbles like a basin, and then the cold spring spewed out and rushed towards the demon mirror above.
But at this moment, Xiao Yu moved one hand, and the golden light in the demon mirror directly collided with the water column as thick as a bucket.
For a moment, the water column was broken into two halves, and the golden light shot directly into the bottom of the water column like a sharp sword.
Gudong...
There was a gurgling sound from the bottom of Liangyi Spring, and then the spring water swept up again from the place where the red and white met, like a huge wave, hitting Xiao Yu on the shore.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."
Xiao Yu dodged and came to the sky above Liangyi Spring. The Yin Yang Peach Wood Sword flew away and went directly under the spring water.
Only a bang was heard, and the wooden sword was knocked back directly by a rebound force, but at this time, the golden light on the demon mirror directly shrouded the strange beast in the water below.
"Beast, if you are captured without mercy, I will spare your life. If you don't come out, I will let you be buried here."
Xiao Yu shouted loudly below.
The strange beast shrouded in golden light was rolling under the water, trying to break free from the shackles of the golden light, but its body was getting smaller and smaller.
"Humans, this is not the place you should come. If you don't leave, you will all die."
The roar of strange beasts came from underwater, but the voice was a woman's!
Xiao Yu ignored it and flicked the demon mirror in his hand. The golden light tightened again and the strange beast under the water was dragged directly towards the surface of the water.
"I thought he was some great big shot, but he turned out to be a monster without a shape.
But that’s right, I’m overthinking how a monster that has not survived the tribulation can retreat from its mortal body.”
The ghost corpse chuckled.
In fact, the strange beasts in the water are not as weak as the opponent said, because the wooden sword was bounced back by the opponent's defense just now.
The other party just lives under the Liangyi Spring, has no contact with the outside world, and has no treasures to protect his body. The most important thing is that he has not survived the tribulation, so this is not the entire strength of the other party.
Under the pull of the demon mirror, the demon beast slowly changed from its original length of three meters to half a foot in length, and it had already reached the surface of the water.
The monster looked very angry at this time, but also a little scared.
"When did you fall into this pool, and how much do you know about the situation here?"
Xiao Yu grabbed the monster in his hand and said with a kind face.
"I don't know. Release me now, or I will eat you all."
The scales on the body of the alien beast stood upright, like a hedgehog. If Xiao Yu had not had Buddha's light protecting his palm, the opponent would have been able to cut off his palm with just a slight struggle.
Xiao Yu landed on the ground, placed the alien beast on the ground, and then sat cross-legged in front of him.
The two ghost corpses also sat around one after another, looking at the little guy on the ground with curious faces.
"If you want to eat us, I'm afraid you don't have such a good appetite.
If you tell the truth, we will take you out when we leave, and you can successfully survive the tribulation and transform into a human form.
If you remain stubborn, you will only become nourishment for the flowers and plants here."
The ghost corpse revealed the aura of a fairy, causing the strange beasts on the ground to curl up together in a hurry, with only a pair of red and white sharp horns exposed.
"This guy is too ugly. He looks like a dragon but not a dragon, a deer but not a deer. They are totally different from each other.
I don’t know what the Ice Demon’s vision is, that he would find such an ugly guy to guard Liangyi Spring!”
Bing Silkworm showed a disgusted expression, but what the other party said was reasonable.
But the ghost corpse hurriedly waved his hand.
"You are all confused by its illusion. She is just trying to scare you."
After saying that, the ghost corpse stretched out his fingers and touched the opponent lightly. The sharp scales on the opponent's body were like armor. They fell to the ground with a crash, revealing a silkworm that looked like a silkworm, but was somewhat different from an ice silkworm.
biology.
The ice silkworm was stunned when he saw the other person, and then he opened his mouth and blew out a breath of cold air, but the cold air dissipated before it even got close to the other person.
"Good guy, this guy is amazing."
The ice silkworm clicked its tongue and said something strange.
"you know?
What is this, is it a distant relative of yours?"
The ghost corpse looked at the other party with a smile and said.
"This is a kind of spiritual insect that has long been extinct, the Black Ice Moth. It's just that this thing hasn't survived the catastrophe yet. What you see now is just a larval stage, so look at it as a maggot.
When I was a child, I heard from the elders of the tribe that there is a kind of natural alien species under the ten thousand-year black ice, called black ice moths. They feed on the ten thousand-year black ice and grow extremely slowly.
It is said that he is a descendant of the six-winged flying silkworm on the list of ancient evil insects, but his bloodline is extremely rare.
Even after they have passed through the tribulation, they are still half-human and half-demon, and can eat all creatures in the six realms.
The more greedy people are in their hearts, the more they can improve their strength after eating.
It’s just that the black ice moth has basically become extinct. I don’t want to see one here again. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.”
Bing Silkworm said with a solemn expression.
Xiao Yu had never heard of the Black Ice Moth, but he had seen some of the Six-winged Celestial Silkworms in some strange stories.
