Tick tock...
Transparent mucus with a strong fishy smell slowly dripped from Earth Armored Beast's open bloody mouth and landed on Gou Donglai's forehead.
At this time, the ferocious mouth was less than one meter away from them.
But it stopped in mid-air, motionless.
But soon, Earth Armored Beast started to move again, and its huge body drilled towards one side of the cave wall.
It seems inappropriate to say that it was drilled away. It was more like being bitten by a stronger beast and dragged out directly.
At this moment, everyone has not yet reacted. What happened just now seems to be a long time, but in fact it is only a moment.
"Are you okay? Get out first."
It wasn't until a calm voice sounded from above that everyone's consciousness was brought back.
"Lin... senior brother Lin!?"
Although they didn't understand what was going on, the group reacted immediately after hearing the familiar voice.
At this time, the originally sealed cave had already been broken open, and everyone quickly ran out of the cave, only to find Earth Armored Beast lying motionless outside the cave.
Lin Sheng looked at the people rushing out, his eyes fell on Mo Xing, and he frowned.
Mo Xing's injury was somewhat serious. He took out a pill from his arms, threw it directly into his mouth, and then asked two people to take him to Great Cui Peak for treatment.
As for the remaining people, although they were quite embarrassed, they only suffered some minor superficial injuries. After taking the healing elixir and resting for a few days, there was nothing serious.
"Junior Brother Gou, how did you come across this thing?"
Lin Sheng looked at Gou Donglai who looked a little pale and asked.
He didn't expect how a few people would encounter such a big guy, and he naturally recognized the thing as Earth Armored Beast. It's just that although Earth Armored Beast lives underground most of the time, it mainly hunts on the ground.
Although it looks scary, it doesn't like to eat meat and mostly feeds on green plants.
And he is not very courageous. Logically speaking, when he encounters Gou Donglai and Blood Circulation Practitioner, he should not take the initiative to attack, but choose to avoid them.
At this moment, Gou Donglai's eyes were still on Earth Armored Beast's huge and heavy corpse. There was a sense of unreality in the trance. He noticed that there were no obvious wounds on Earth Armored Beast's body. Except for the hole in the center of the forehead that was as thick as an adult's arm, strands of red and white viscous liquid were flowing out, soaking a small area of the ground.
"Die like that!?"
He couldn't help but swallow. If it weren't for this Earth Armored Beast, and there were still scales on its head that were deformed by his previous blow, he would have doubted whether it was the one he met.
As a person involved in a head-on confrontation with this big guy, he is very aware of its terrifying power and strong defense.
Earth Armored Beast, as you can tell from the name, this is a Strange Beast that is good at defense.
The strongest defense of this Strange Beast is its head. Even if you hit it with all your strength, you can't cause any substantial damage to its head.
But now, this big guy is lying upright in front of him, and the fatal injury is obviously a penetrating wound on his head, and the author of this wound is obviously Lin Sheng in front of him.
Being able to kill this Earth Armored Beast with terrifying defense power in one blow, is this really what a early stage of Blood Circulation warrior can do??
I'm afraid even senior brother Zhao Kongfang, who has been practicing for several years, may not be able to do it.
This Senior Brother Lin is definitely much stronger than he imagined.
He knew that he could be accepted as a direct disciple by Xie Qingyun. This senior brother Lin's talent potential was definitely not weak, but after all, he was only at the early stage of Blood Circulation level. In his opinion, the other party's achievements in the future would surpass his, but now it was obvious that there was still some gap.
But the scene that happened in front of him clearly proved that his previous idea was too ridiculous. The strength of this senior brother Lin was definitely superior to his.
Thinking of this, he was excited. He turned around and saw Lin Sheng looking at him intently. He quickly told what happened in detail.
After listening, Lin Sheng frowned slightly.
"It was this Earth Armored Beast that took the initiative to attack you."
"That's right, we didn't expect that there would be such a big guy hiding near this beast mine, and Junior Brother Mo was seriously injured when something happened suddenly."
Gou Donglai smiled bitterly.
"And I don't know why, but this Earth Armored Beast is much stronger than the ordinary Earth Armored Beast. Otherwise, even if this beast occupies a favorable location, we wouldn't be in such a mess."
When he said this, a look of fear appeared on his face. It is not difficult to imagine that if Lin Sheng had not arrived in time this time, their group would have suffered heavy casualties.
Lin Sheng thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason. Looking at Gou Donglai's pale face, he said.
"It's good that there are no casualties on the left or right. Junior Brother Gou, you should go back and rest first. The matter of mining the beast ore will be postponed for a few days."
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin."
Upon hearing this, Gou Donglai immediately responded respectfully and subconsciously saluted, a little more respectful than before.
Lin Sheng didn't care about the change in the other party's attitude, and waved his hand and let him go.
Soon, he was the only one left outside the entire cave.
Go straight to the body of Earth Armored Beast.
He didn't expect to encounter a pseudo Spirit Beast here, but if he encountered it, he couldn't let it go. Strange Beast, which happened to have not yet entered the body of a low-armored beast, entered the body first.
But before that, he first looked at the wound on Earth Armored Beast's forehead.
The blow that just killed Earth Armored Beast was the Star Chasing Finger used, and the Qi force that had just been condensed was used.
And the effect did not disappoint him, just one blow wiped out his life.
Of course, to have this power, the more important thing is that it has the penetration talent of Green-eyed Fierce Eagle.
Otherwise this would never be possible.
"It seems that after superimposing the penetration talent, the power of Star Chasing Finger is probably not inferior to the ordinary Bone Force."
While the thoughts in his mind were spinning, his palm had already been placed on Earth Armored Beast's wound.
Soon, a series of information appeared on the consciousness panel.
[Animal name: Earth Armored Beast (pseudo Spirit Beast)]
[It is over ten feet long, covered with thick armor, has great vitality, is good at digging into the ground, and has a cautious temperament; this is a lucky Earth Armored Beast. By chance, Demon Beast Ore Seed was found in the leyline beast mine. After a long period of ingestion, its strength is much stronger than that of its kind. Over time, it may not be impossible to break through the shackles.]
[Requirements for entering the body: Physique 3]
[Body penetration effect: Constitution Boost 5 Strength Boost 5 Agility Boost 3]
[Talent: Digging]
After reading the information introduction on the consciousness panel, Lin Sheng's eyes narrowed.
The attributes of this Earth Armored Beast are good, indeed higher than the ordinary pseudo Spirit Beast, and it also has talents.
But what interests him the most is the Demon Beast Ore Seed mentioned in the message. He doesn't know what the so-called mineral is, but the tile that can be hung with Demon Beast is obviously not a mortal thing.
Especially from the information point of view, the reason why this Earth Armored Beast has grown to this point has a lot to do with this Demon Beast Ore Seed.
After years and months of smoking Demon Beast Ore Seed, there is even a chance to break through the shackles.
This effect reminded him of the Blood Dragon Fruit swallowed by Three-eyed Spirit Monkey, which had this effect.
Although it seems that the effect of Demon Beast Ore Seed is much worse than that of Blood Dragon Fruit, it can be regarded as an extremely rare thing to have this effect.
After all, apart from artificial cultivation in various ways, there are only two things he knows that can break through the shackles.
While thinking in his mind, he did not stop moving his hands and chose to swallow Earth Armored Beast into his body without hesitation.
Earth Armored Beast had been successfully penetrated into his body within a breath.
Although Earth Armored Beast consumed a large amount of blood in his body, there was still a lot of blood left in his body. Naturally, he would not waste this blood, but would devour it all to increase the activation progress of Third Imprint.
Although the blood of pseudo Spirit Beast is not as good as the real Spirit Beast Blood, after absorbing the remaining blood of Earth Armored Beast, the activation progress of Third Imprint increased by about five percentage points.
As for the materials on this Earth Armored Beast, Flesh can fetch a good price considering its appearance.
Of course, he does not intend to sell his Flesh, it is just suitable for daily practice consumption.
All the scale armor materials on the body can be sold.
He did not rush to deal with this Earth Armored Beast, but focused his gaze on the deep cave.
"Since this big guy has grown to this point by absorbing Demon Beast Ore Seed, then it will definitely not leave its place easily. Then this so-called Demon Beast Ore Seed may be near this cave."
He thought to himself and already walked towards the cave.
Earth Armored Beast has a cautious character and will not attack strong prey easily.
What's more, among Gou Donglai, seven of them are Blood Circulation Practitioner. According to common sense, they should stay away so as not to attack them crazily.
The reason for such abnormal behavior shows that there is something Earth Armored Beast regards as the reverse scale near the beast mine.
After just a little thought, Lin Sheng deduced the possible situation based on the existing information.
His pace quickened now, and soon he reached the bottom of the cave.
He thought about it and chose to enter Earth Armored Beast.
Earth Armored Beast's talent for digging has not been used yet, so now is the time to test it out. After all, as Strange Beast lives underground, his talent should be of great use underground.
After the switch was completed, he directly activated his digging talent.
Instantly, he felt a layer of fine and tough black scales appear on his body.
These scales were shaking on his body at an extremely fast speed.
He tentatively stretched his palm towards the stone wall, only to feel that the tough stone wall was like soft tofu in front of him at this moment, and he sank into it easily.
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows and simply burrowed his body into the stone wall.
What surprised him even more was that even though his whole body was submerged in the stone wall at this moment, he could still breathe.
Although it's not as easy as on the ground, you can indeed breathe underground.
With his level of strength, it is not difficult to hold his breath for an hour.
Now that the digging talent is turned on, it may be okay to stay underground for a few days.
"Not a bad talent."
Lin Sheng gave an evaluation of this talent. Although it is not a combat-type talent, being able to hide in the ground is definitely a pretty good life-saving talent.
Just like Earth-Drilling Rat Pei Er, its ability to keep running away while being tracked by Liu Tianci and many other Prefectural Office headhunters relies on its talent for burrowing.
He switched the second imprint to Da Huang and was surprised to find that after turning on the underground digging talent, the influence of the underground environment on perception seemed to be weakened a lot.
He kept searching near the mineral deposits.
About one-third of this mineral deposit has been mined. I first looked inside the mineral deposit, but unfortunately nothing was found. I even used full power to excavate the mineral deposit.
The so-called Demon Beast Ore Seed, although he didn't see it, triggered a mineral pattern and caused a powerful explosion, but to him, it was not a threat.
"If it's not near the mine, then where could it be?"
Being in the rock wall, Lin Sheng frowned. Originally, he thought that since it was a mineral, it was likely to be in the mine, but now he has basically checked the mineral deposits.
He was thinking in his mind as he kept moving around, expanding the area.
Suddenly, he paused, and suddenly found a broken tunnel in his perception, or the tunnel was not accurate, it was more like a snake tunnel drilled out by a python.
Lin Sheng's heart moved when he saw this. Although this cave is much smaller than Earth Armored Beast's size.
But Earth Armored Beast has the talent to burrow into the ground, so it is not impossible for it to travel underground and leave such a snake path.
With this in mind, he started searching along this snake path.
The snake path is quite winding. It is obvious that this area is the activity area of Earth Armored Beast. Lin Sheng keeps shuttling in it, and after a stick of incense, his vision suddenly becomes clear.
A wider underground space suddenly appeared in front of him.
As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a strong fishy smell.
There are traces of Strange Beast's activities all over it, and it is almost certain that this is the underground lair of Earth Armored Beast.
Glancing at some bones piled in the corner, he moved his eyes and quickly searched the underground space. However, except for the feces of Earth Armored Beast and some broken roots and bones, there was nothing of note.
"Not here!?"
After scanning the space, he frowned.
"Is it possible that the mineral has been sucked up by Earth Armored Beast?"
A lot of time has been wasted on this, and he doesn't intend to continue to do so.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave here, his nose twitched slightly, and the next moment his figure had disappeared and appeared in the corner of the space. He raised his hand and plunged it into the stone wall with a powerful shot.
With a bang, his arm sank into the stone wall, and then he grabbed a dark red stone that was not Rules.
There are black lines all over it, and there is a trace of red viscous liquid leaking out from some damage. The most strange thing is that this stone is quite soft to handle, giving people the touch of a woman's soft body, exuding an inexplicable wild atmosphere.
However, Lin Sheng didn't care about this at this time, because when he came into contact with the viscous liquid on the stone, a series of information had already appeared in the consciousness panel.
