Chapter 454: Iron-eating beast looking for his son
Lingyun City is located in the hills, and the vegetation in the suburbs is extremely dense, especially the bamboo forest. Other cities grow vegetables and fruits in the suburbs, but Lingyun City, due to the special soil and water, has mostly bamboo forests in the mountains and suburbs.
This bamboo forest was a major producer of bamboo shoots before the end of the world. Bamboo shoots are available all year round and are particularly delicious and crisp.
Hua Yang held Diandian in his arms, while Xing Lie and Yan Suan walked side by side. Little Wolf had just disappeared when he got off the back of Jinwu. Although they were both contracted beasts that had signed a soul contract, Little Wolf was unusually willful.
It longs to fight, and many times even Hua Yang can't bear to keep it confined by her side.
Nowadays, no matter in the city or in the suburbs, you can no longer see the modern buildings that existed before the end of the world. All the streets and roads are occupied by various plants.
This place is occupied by tracts of thick bamboo forests.
"The earth has begun to evolve, and these bamboos are also evolving." Hua Yang held Diandian in his arms as they walked, carefully observing the surrounding environment.
Hua Yang searched the bamboo forest ground, trying to see if she could dig some bamboo shoots and store them in the space. She had almost used up all the pickled bamboo shoots she had looted in Tianlan City.
Sour bamboo shoots are very appetizing. Add some chili and it will be especially delicious when eaten with any pasta!
But after looking around, there was not even a single bamboo shoot sticking out of the ground. Although it was strange, there was no need to be obsessed with it.
"When all the major families come here and the spiritual energy from the universe enters, it will speed up the evolution of all life here. Yangyang, have you thought about where to put the Tree of Life?"
"Not yet. The Tree of Life has been of great help to me and Xiaolu in this space. I want to wait a little longer."
"Don't be in a hurry. Take your time to look for it. You have to find a safe place where you won't be easily discovered."
"Wait a moment." Hua Yang thought, if the bamboo here is in the process of evolution, then maybe it can also...
Drops of spiritual water fell from Hua Yang's hands.
Sure enough, the familiar plant spirits emerged from the bamboo forest. Hua Yang absorbed them all into the space without hesitation, and then fed them back to the flora here.
Soon, a large group of plants, like an attached child, began to communicate with Hua Yang in her mental power, babbling.
With just a small piece and enough time, Hua Yang believes that they can definitely form an underground plant root network like Haicheng.
Moreover, Hua Yang discovered that although there were no more bamboo shoots here, many new shoots had sprouted on the bamboo shoots under the mud. It would not be long before fresh bamboo shoots would emerge again.
“It seems that Lingyun City also has a very rich source of food. No wonder the model has been able to build a base and feed so many people for so long.
OK, let’s go.”
So, the three adults and one child walked along the way, and Hua Yang dropped the spiritual water on the ground. It was not until the sound of fighting came from the front and judging from the fluctuations of supernatural powers, Hua Yang stopped what he was doing.
"This is the mutant beast cub we found first! Why do you want to snatch it away?"
"We worked so hard to lure the mother beast away, and even lost two teammates. Why do you want to steal the fruits of our labor?"
"That's right. At worst, everyone will die. No one should even think about getting these two mutant cubs!"
Hua Yang followed the sound, but Xing Lie's black energy hid them.
There are two teams on the opposite side, one team has six people, five high-level psychics and one mid-level psychic.
The other team consisted of two people. Originally, two people were not considered a team, but one of them was a woman with Nebula-level abilities.
There are not many Nebula-level psychics on Earth nowadays, and ninety-nine percent of them may be from the Ancient Universe Country.
"Sima Yiren! You outsiders are acting like tyrants because you rely on your high-level abilities!"
"I just rely on the high level of my supernatural powers, so what?" The woman named Sima Yiren was wearing a conspicuous and dazzling rose-red dress.
She was wearing a long skirt that dragged on the ground and had a very pretty face, but her scornfully raised eyebrows made her look a little unworthy of her beautiful face.
Sima Yiren stroked the cub in her hand with one hand, not taking the six people in front of her seriously at all. She glanced at the timid man beside her, puffed out her chest proudly and turned around.
"Let's go! If this iron-eating beast grows up, it will not be afraid of any elemental power, and it has amazing defense and super strong force. If it is well raised, it can destroy an entire city. It's a pity that it is almost extinct in the universe country. I didn't expect that this thing exists on this barren native planet!"
Hua Yang looked at the cub in the woman's arms.
This cub is covered in white fur, but perhaps because it was just born, the fur has not yet dried up, and its pink, thin body can be seen. Upon closer inspection, it has the physical features of a dog and the posture of a cat.
Hua Yang suddenly felt that the little cub looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was exactly.
You say it is a dog, but if it is a puppy or a kitten, it is not! Kittens and puppies have dense hair when they are born, and cats and dogs' tails are not so short? They are like bear tails...
Bear?
Hua Yang's head suddenly shook. Lingyun City is located in a hilly basin. The terrain and soil have special characteristics, and bamboo shoots are produced all year round. It is a major producer of bamboo shoots in the country.
Besides bamboo shoots, what makes it famous is a rare animal that loves to eat bamboo shoots: the panda, a precious and rare species in China.
In mythology, the panda is also known as the iron-eating beast, and was the mount of the ancient war god Chi You. Its fur is like steel needles, and its claws are sharp enough to break steel. Its teeth are sharp enough to eat all kinds of metal.
Wow! This is really good stuff!
Judging from the degree of evolution of the earth, if this is really a panda, it is possible that it has evolved into the appearance of the legendary Chiyou's mount.
Compared to the little cub in the woman's arms, the cub in the hands of the six-man team did not look so optimistic.
The reason why the iron-eating beast is so rare on Earth is not only because of its unique appetite, but mainly because it is difficult to breed.
Generally, each time a ferruginous animal reproduces, it can only give birth to one offspring. And their mating season only comes once a year. After that, these guys will refuse to have more children and raise them well.
Unfortunately, the small iron beast is very difficult to feed because of its delicate physique. This has led to their current value doubling and almost extinction.
"Stop! Give the cub back to us!"
The woman stopped and tilted her head slightly. "Didn't I leave one for you? I think I have done my best for you natives!"
Keep talking nonsense, even if my father doesn't let me, I will kill you!"
"You! We paid such a huge price just for this cub! Our cub was born weak, and the mother was injured and couldn't take care of the two cubs at all. You were so cruel that you took the strong one away!
You! You are so shameless! "
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Six lumps of crystal clear ice crystals suddenly fell from the sky and landed at the feet of the six people. One of them stumbled and dropped the cub in his hand to the ground!
"Damn it!" Hua Yang was very anxious at the moment. There were two iron-eating beast cubs, one strong and one weak. The weak one had a weak constitution to begin with, and now that it fell to the ground, it began to twitch.
Seeing that if this continued, the young iron-eating beast would die, Hua Yang could no longer bear it.
"Don't be impulsive! They seem to have no intention of saving the sick cub. I will use my supernatural power to protect you."
So, Hua Yang threw the sleeping Diandian into Xing Lie's arms. Then, hiding in Xing Lie's devouring power, she slowly approached the cub whose life force was getting weaker and weaker on the ground.
Hua Yang was very confident in Xing Lie's ability. She was very cautious because the woman called Sima Yiren was a nebula-level psychic and was very sensitive to environmental changes.
Fortunately, both sides were so engrossed in their argument over the cub in Sima Yiren's hand that they did not notice that the iron-eating beast cub that had been thrown to the ground and was dying was missing.
After Hua Yang touched the cub, she immediately threw it into the Lingshui River to soak.
After multiple evolutions, the spiritual water can no longer be described by the basic concepts and forms of water.
It is transparent and crystal clear, and it seems to be light enough to float the little ones who play in it. But in fact, it is heavier than any object of the same volume.
The cub entered the space and floated in the Spirit River for a few seconds before it became active. It swam to the shore and its small body began to make a "squeak" sound like a mouse.
The imprint of space allowed it to communicate with Hua Yang without any obstacles. What it was shouting at this time meant that it was hungry.
Without waiting for Hua Yang to make any arrangements, it was seen tremblingly crawling towards the farmyard. After a while, the little white furry body actually crawled into the straw shed of the dairy cow.
Wow, it turns out that animals' survival behaviors are all based on instinct. They can find milk to drink without being taught.
What's even more strange is that without Hua Yang's suppression, the cow did not reject the calf's behavior and actually lay down to help the iron beast fill its stomach.
Looking at the little guy drinking milk in gulps from his belly, Hua Yang regained consciousness with relief.
This distraction lasted only two or three minutes, but the other party had not yet noticed that the cub on the ground was missing.
Looking at the six people, Sisi was staring at the healthy cub in Sima Yiren's arms, but their feet were frozen by another piece of frost.
This Sima Yiren is a water-type mutant with ice-type abilities. Not only does she have strong attack power, but her control is also very good. The six people watched Sima Yiren and the man next to her leave.
Suddenly, the ground shook not far away.
Hua Yang and the others turned to look and saw a gigantic evolved creature with white fur all over its body except for its limbs, ears and eyes which were black. It was now furiously rushing towards Sima Yiren's position.
"roar!"
Sima Yiren was shocked, "What?!"
The huge iron-eating beast was more than ten times the size of a normal human. It was also fat and strong, and it was obvious that it had a good diet.
It was lured out of the cave by a few humans with delicious bamboo shoots. After a hearty meal, it returned to the cave, but its two newly born cubs were gone.
There was the smell of strange humans in the cave. It followed the smell in anger and found that one of the humans was about to leave with its child.
Sima Yiren was shaken and her mind was disturbed, and the power that originally controlled the six people dissipated. When the six people saw the ice under their feet disappear, they immediately wanted to flee in all directions.
And this iron-eating beast is obviously extremely intelligent.
It first knocked Sima Yiren unconscious with a palm, grabbed its child and hid it in the soft hair on its shoulder. Then it turned around and stomped its feet, shaking the earth.
The yellow earth-type light radiated from its feet. After being enveloped by this yellow energy, the six people all fainted.
Seeing that only the man who followed Sima Yiren was left unharmed, the iron-eating beast didn't want to pay any attention to him at this moment, so he escaped.
Hua Yang felt itchy at the sight of the tall, majestic, yet somewhat silly and extremely adorable iron-eating beast in front of her.
"Yangyang, this is a good opportunity!"
"I think so too!"
The two hit it off immediately. Xing Lie dispersed the devouring power, held Diandian in one hand, and with the other hand directed the devouring power towards the position of the iron-eating beast.
But strangely, when Xing Lie's invincible devouring power touched the iron-eating beast, it was like a small steel bullet hitting cotton, dissipating instantly and being of no use at all.
At this time, the three adults and one child, whose tracks were discovered by the iron-eating beast, suddenly became a little nervous.
"I forgot that the iron-eating beast has amazing defense and is immune to all elemental attacks." Xing Lie laughed at himself. The devouring power surrounded himself and the others again, and he led Hua Yang and Yan Suan to retreat.
"The Iron-eating Beast is so powerful? Are you sure? This Iron-eating Beast has at least planetary strength! An evolved creature can fight against a hundred people of the same level! We can't defeat it at all!"
The iron-eating beast originally saw the humans attacking it and was about to attack back, but it found that these humans suddenly disappeared.
Hua Yang and the others watched it sniffing the ground like a dog, as if looking for its other missing child.
"To be able to lose a child like this, you are either stupid or a foodie. This is a rare opportunity, I will try again!"
The space spiritual water is known to be a delicacy that all living things cannot resist. Hua Yang condensed the spiritual water and held it in her hand before appearing in front of the iron-eating beast again.
"Hey!" Hua Yang shouted.
"Roar!" The iron-eating beast roared at Hua Yang as a warning, and then continued searching.
Hua Yang shouted "Hey" again, and seeing that the iron-eating beast didn't respond, she directly threw the concentrated water ball in her hand into the beast's mouth.
The iron-eating beast, whose mouth was hit by an unknown object, roared angrily and stood up like a well-trained dog.
Hua Yang took the opportunity to suck another spirit water ball into its mouth.
The iron-eating beast didn't know whether it liked it or not. It just stood there motionless, allowing Hua Yang to throw the water ball back and forth dozens of times.
Finally, after Hua Yang threw another water ball, the ferruginous beast jumped to Hua Yang's side as nimbly as a cat, raising its two front paws like a dog.
Hua Yang was overjoyed, it worked!
Then he slowly reached out his hand towards it.
As long as she touches it, this invincible iron-eating beast is hers! It is immune to elemental powers! When fighting, just put it in front of you and the enemy will have no way to deal with it!
However, the next second, Hua Yang was stunned.
The iron-eating beast suddenly opened its mouth, and a large amount of liquid spurted out of its mouth, soaking Hua Yang's heart. After finally roaring to the sky, it looked at Hua Yang with disdain, then left and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Hua Yang was a little upset. She actually saw contempt in the eyes of a panda!
She smelled that the liquid on her body was the spiritual water she had just thrown into the mouth of the iron-eating beast. However, after the spiritual water came out of the mouth of the iron-eating beast, it was mixed with the smell of some animal saliva.
She was actually spat on by a panda! "I'm so pissed! What a ghost iron-eating beast! Don't let it fall into my hands!"
