Chapter 460: The Little Cub's Illusion of Bamboo Shoots
Although Hua Yang was worried about Xing Lie's injury, she was also able to distinguish the severity of the injury.
If Sima Li doesn't die, their secret will be exposed. People die for money and birds die for food. In the Earth where all the major forces of the Ancient Universe Kingdom are spread all over, their future will be out of control.
"Wu Shuang! Can't you see I'm injured? Why don't you treat me?"
As Wu Shuang and Hua Yang looked at each other, a healing power came down, not only on Sima Li, but also on Xing Lie and Hua Yang!
Hua Yang and Wu Shuang didn't say anything. Sima Li was blind and he didn't know what Wu Shuang had done, so Hua Yang didn't need to put her into the space.
Wu Shuang's healing ability only restored the mental strength of a few of the three people. The wound on Xing Lie's hand did not heal because of the devouring energy.
Wounds that are attached by the devouring power will not only corrode the wound, but also devour all external healing methods.
However, so was Sima Li.
"Ah! My eyes! Why haven't my eyes recovered? Impossible!"
"My Xing family's devouring ability is so powerful, I must let you have a taste of it."
"You! You little brat! You are as despicable and shameless as your Xing family ancestor! You actually used such despicable means, I will kill you!"
However, every time the blind Sima Li used his supernatural powers, they were off target and could not hit Xing Lie and Hua Yang at all.
Xing Lie was holding a dagger, his body wrapped in devouring energy. He appeared on the left, sometimes on the right, and sometimes disappeared, approaching Sima Li little by little.
Until Sima Li was confused and Hua Yang suddenly activated the God of War-level plant system to tie Sima Li tightly, Xing Lie approached him suddenly, and the dagger turned around his neck, hot blood spurted out of the aorta, and Sima Li's head was cut off.
Sima Li was extremely frustrated in this battle. If he was in the ancient universe, he could use aggressive means to fight Xing Lie.
But the space on Earth is too weak, and too much explosive energy will accelerate its collapse. He has discovered that Earth is a planet with high-level life, and it will be more valuable if a space stabilization device is installed.
He has also sent people back to the original universe to search for life forms that can support space. If things go fast, the Earth will be in his possession within ten years.
So much so that in the previous battle, he was afraid to use a powerful and destructive move. And because of his underestimation of the enemy, he was killed!
Sima Li died, but the war god-level internal space did not disappear with the death of its owner. Instead, it formed a crystal stone that was somewhat similar to the god-level space fragment.
Hua Yang picked it up and took a look. Just a dozen seconds after she touched it, the crystal suddenly shattered. A bunch of bamboo shoots burst out from the shattered crystal like exploding equipment.
Hua Yang used the Sun's True Fire to burn Sima Li's body cleanly. Then she observed the bamboo shoots on the ground.
These bamboo shoots are really big.
The smallest one was about the same thickness as Xing Lie's arm. The largest one was so big that Hua Yang couldn't even hug it with her arms.
"It seems that this bamboo shoot should come from a mutant bamboo forest. Such a big bamboo shoot should be very eye-catching in the bamboo forest." Hua Yang said and suddenly thought of the mutant iron-eating beast that ran away with its cub.
If Xing Lie wasn't still injured, she really wanted to find the iron-eating beast immediately, put it into the space, and stroke its fur to vent her anger.
"Alie, let's go back to Haicheng Base and heal your wounds first!"
Just as Xing Lie was about to say something, there was a rustling sound coming from the woods nearby. Then the ground shook, causing Hua Yang and the other man to lose their balance and stagger for several steps.
A huge mutant with black and white fur rushed over from the bamboo, jumped into the bamboo shoots and started eating. The little guy hiding in its shoulder hair made a "squeak" sound like a mouse, obviously wanting to taste the fragrant bamboo shoots.
But it is still too young, and even if it is a mutant beast, it cannot be weaned and eat bamboo shoots immediately.
Xing Lie subconsciously pulled Hua Yang behind him, his face full of vigilance and alertness.
But Hua Yang found it strange.
"Don't you think it's weird, Ali?"
"Um?"
"Helan Xun and his team said earlier that this iron-eating beast was ferocious by nature and had extremely strong attack power. Were his two team members killed by it?"
"That's exactly what he said." Xing Lie nodded.
Hua Yang is still a little unsure, but she already has a guess in her mind.
"Did you notice that although it knocked Sima Yiren and Helan Xun unconscious yesterday, it did not kill them and only took back its own child.
Even if the other one was not found, Helan Xun and Sima Yiren were not killed. Isn't this strange?"
"There are also records of iron-eating beasts in the ancient universe. It is said that the iron-eating beasts are cruel and tyrannical, and are murderous by nature. They are a very tyrannical race.
But because it is very powerful and likes to live alone, it is loved by some powerful forces. They have been besieged and captured for many years, and until now, they have become extinct in the ancient universe. I didn't expect there is still one here."
Hua Yang tilted her head and looked at the huge bamboo shoot beside her. It was lying on its back with its belly exposed in the pile of bamboo shoots. It used its two claws to break the shells on the outside of the bamboo shoots with extraordinary dexterity, and then stuffed the tender tips of the bamboo shoots into its mouth first, chewing them with a "crunch".
All the bamboo shoots in his hands were thrown to his feet, and soon the height of the bamboo shoots was almost higher than that of Xing Lie and Hua Yang.
Hua Yang involuntarily reached out to touch the fur of the iron-eating beast, but was held back by Xing Lie. "Don't take the risk."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
While the iron-eating beast was concentrating on eating the bamboo shoots in its hand, Hua Yang stretched out her hand and moved closer and closer. She seemed to be able to feel the heat radiating from the black and white fur of the iron-eating beast.
Very close!
In again!
Just a little bit away, he could touch the body of the iron-eating beast. At that time, the iron-eating beast would be his.
However, at this moment, the little Iron Beast hiding on the shoulder of its mother, the Stone Iron Beast, suddenly screamed.
Hua Yang was shocked. How could she have ignored this little guy?
The Stone Iron Beast, which was eating bamboo shoots, also paused. It turned its head to look at Huayang. Then it moved its agile eyes to look at the little cub on its shoulder.
At this moment, Xing Lie was on guard, and Hua Yang also paused. Cold sweat broke out on her palms.
This guy clearly came over to sit next to her and eat bamboo shoots. And she clearly just wanted to touch it. Why did she look at her as if she was planning to take its bamboo shoots?
However, the next move of the iron-eating beast shocked Hua Yang and Xing Lie. It suddenly dropped the bamboo shoots in its hand and sighed in a humane way.
Then he raised his thick and big paw and grabbed the little cub of the iron-eating beast on his shoulder. Then he shook and threw the cub in one direction, and then loosened his paw.
Biu...the little cub was thrown into Huayang's arms accurately.
Xing Lie was also stunned. He was ready to fight again. Even if the iron-eating beast was difficult to deal with, he would find a way to deal with anything that would endanger Hua Yang's life.
At this moment, he looked at the confused little cub in Hua Yang's arms who was abandoned by his mother, and he always had a strange feeling in his heart.
The two looked at each other and said, "Ah Lie, what do you think? Could it be that this guy originally wanted to throw away bamboo shoot shells? And then threw the wrong thing?"
At this moment, the little cub not only realized the fact that he was thrown away, but also understood the word "thing" in Hua Yang's words and resisted, suddenly screaming "wa wa".
The mother bamboo shoot, who was eating with great relish, paused when she heard the sound, snored in a very human way, and angrily grabbed a bamboo shoot and was about to put it into Hua Yang's arms.
Hua Yang was startled, and quickly dodged the bamboo shoots, then jumped to the other side with her cub.
She looked at the cub in her arms, then at the mother ferruginous beast who continued to work hard, and made a decision.
She held the cub in her hand and walked closer to the iron-eating beast, then boldly poked its butt.
Although the panda is called a panda on Earth, only its facial features are similar to those of a cat, but it is actually a panda, not a cat. It is an omnivore. Although it likes to eat bamboo shoots, it actually eats meat.
The fur was soft and dense, and it felt very comfortable. However, the iron-eating beast moved its butt in disdain and continued to eat bamboo shoots.
Hua Yang continued to poke forward, and then handed the cub in her hand over. However, the iron-eating beast only glanced at the cub, turned around and continued to eat, and the speed was obviously faster than before.
He didn't pay any attention to his own children at all.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Rumors are indeed unreliable."
Hua Yang suddenly realized that these bamboo shoots might be the raw materials collected by Sima Li to lure and prey on iron-eating beasts.
Moreover, they have been to this bamboo forest before. There are some pointed buds underneath, but it will take a long time for them to grow into edible bamboo shoots.
This iron-eating beast must have not found food for a long time and is extremely hungry, so it is eating in such a voracious manner.
The scene of him throwing his child to Hua Yang made Hua Yang think, "Alie, do you think this guy is exchanging his child with me for bamboo shoots?"
Xing Lie smiled faintly and nodded, "I have only heard that the wisdom of iron-eating beasts is comparable to that of humans, and that they are cunning. It seems that what has been said is true. You can take them away for now.
No matter how powerful they are, given the amount of food they supply, nothing growing in the land can keep up with the speed at which they eat.
It would be different if they were in your space. The growth rate in your space is dozens of times faster than that in the outside world, so raising three of them would not be a problem."
Xing Lie had just finished speaking when the iron-eating beast that was feasting on the meal nearby suddenly turned its ears and stopped eating.
It suddenly faced Hua Yang, and stood up from where it sat like a human, with its front paws hanging on its chest like cats and dogs when they stood upright. It looked very adorable.
Hua Yang and Xing Lie were less than half the height of the iron-eating beast. If it weren't for the mouth that was closed like a dog sticking out its tongue, the sense of oppression of such a large mutant beast in front of them would be too strong.
It looked as if it was saying, "Take me away!" "Take me away!" It looked so cute and innocent, as if all that big, oppressive look was for nothing!
Since this guy was willing, Hua Yang naturally wanted it. So, he touched the bear paw of the big iron-eating beast with one hand, and sent the two iron-eating beasts, one big and one small, into the space together.
When I first came to the space, I knew from the spiritual connection with Hua Yang that the iron-eating beast was extremely excited at the moment. It was excited because this space had the environment it liked.
An environment full of spiritual energy, with sweet and energetic water to drink, a mountain that can be developed for nesting, and energy gem veins inside the mountain that can be used for cultivation and advancement.
The only thing missing was a little food.
The little iron-eating beast that was first collected by Huayang into the space seemed to smell a familiar smell in its sleep. So it crawled out from the thatched house little by little. However, when it opened its eyes and saw the familiar figure, it screamed, but the mother iron-eating beast did not take it seriously at all.
Because at this time, the iron-eating beast was frantically expressing in the spiritual connection with Hua Yang that there was a special bamboo forest deep in the bamboo forest, and it wanted Hua Yang to go there to dig bamboo shoots.
He loves to eat the bamboo shoots there.
Hua Yang was worried about Xing Lie's injury, and was hesitating whether to go back to Haicheng Base to let Xing Lie heal. However, Xing Lie kept smiling, "It's okay, this iron-eating beast is greedy, if there is no sufficient food source, it will turn your space upside down in the future.
There is a bamboo forest right now, so we can quickly dig some into the space and feed them as food. Judging from the ever-changing ecology of your space, the future growth is immeasurable."
Hua Yang looked at Xing Lie's injury suspiciously, "Are you really okay?" Hua Yang asked after forcing Xing Lie to drink a mouthful of spiritual water.
"It's okay. I am a cosmic-level strongman after all. My Xing family's ancestor's devouring ability is at the level of a war god. I just can't recover for the time being.
However, in the days ahead, I just need to slowly digest the energy from the wound and use it for my own benefit. "But he didn't say how long it would take. So that when I see him again, everything will be the same as before, and the woman will go in the flames and be reborn in the darkness.
Hua Yang followed the route of the iron-eating beast and walked for more than ten minutes. The road was muddy and rugged, and there were bamboo forests on both sides.
The bamboos in winter still stand upright, green as jade. On the way, Hua Yang startled some mutant bamboo pit vipers and bamboo rats while walking through the bamboo forest, and collected them into the space. He also harvested a kind of big fat worm that grew in the bamboo joints.
It is white and plump, with a pair of big black eyes and covered with transparent fluff, which is a bit prickly. However, this is the favorite food of Saker Falcon and other animals in the breeding circle, such as chickens and geese.
Finally, they came to a strange-looking bamboo forest. The bamboo in this bamboo forest was not the ordinary round bamboo, but the bamboo with octagonal bamboo tubes.
The soil in the ground was moist and very easy to dig. Hua Yang and Xing Lie quickly dug out several bamboos with their roots and bamboo shoots underneath and planted them in the open space behind the Space Mountain.
At this time, Hua Yang's borrowing of the power of the Tree of Life was almost done. She felt the powerful energy in her body slipping away bit by bit, and her strength was also lost bit by bit.
Feeling weak all over! ?
If the aftereffect of borrowing the energy of the Tree of Life is just feeling weak all over, then this will be her trump card when she encounters a strong enemy in the future!
