Chapter 224 – Thy Sons, I’ll Raise Them
Chapter 224 – Thy Sons, I Will Raise Them
The Two-Headed Armadillo looked at the pupils of his companion’s eyes, which were continuously coiled by Lu Xuan, and the color of resentment in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, almost turning into substance.
The grayish-yellow light on its body became more and more dense, and with a click, its scaly armor opened up in unison, and the rope binding it instantly snapped.
All of this seemed to be out of Lu Xuan’s expectation, before he could react, the not-so-injured Twin-headed Armadillo seized this fleeting opportunity and violently burrowed into the rocky mountain.
Before leaving, it left Lu Xuan with a look of spiteful hatred.
“It’s not good to be a villain.”
Lu Xuan sighed with emotion and operated the Great Five Elements Technique, a thin layer of gray and yellow spiritual energy appeared on his body, similarly drilling inside the rocky mountain.
The reason why he had left this injured Two-Headed Armadillo behind was that he didn’t have the idea of bringing it out of the Blessed Land to feed it, and in actuality, he only wanted to track it down to find the gathering place of the Two-Headed Armadillo’s Demonic Beast Groups, so that he could find the rare Spiritual Soil that they relied on for their survival.
Therefore, after Qian Dinghong and the two of them left, he returned to the rocky mountain and released the injured two-headed armadillo, deliberately stimulating it with his words as well as the remnants of his companion’s body to give it a chance to escape.
The Great Five Elements Gong practiced by Lu Xuan had the Five Elements Transportation Technique, which was equally adept at the Earth Escape.
His spiritual sense was locked tightly on the two-headed armadillo that flew through the rocks, and countless nearly transparent threads emerged from the dark golden cloak that was as thin as a cicada’s wing on the inside, completely isolating and concealing his breath and spiritual power.
In less than half a moment, Lu Xuan followed the injured two-headed armadillo to a hollow cavern.
The upper and lower parts of the cavern were covered, with only a few areas of light falling, making the entire cavern dim.
Clad in his Invisible Spirit Cloak, Lu Xuan hid in a corner, transforming into an invisible posture and quietly watching everything in the cavern.
After the injured Two-Headed Armadillo returned to the cavern, it let out a mournful low roar, and immediately, a Two-Headed Armadillo Demonic Beast burrowed out from the cavern’s cracks, surrounding the injured one.
Not knowing what the injured Two-Headed Armadillo said, the group of ten Two-Headed Armadillo Demonic Beasts were agitated, and there was infinite hatred in their roars.
Immediately, the injured Two-Headed Armadillo took the lead, and more than a dozen armadillo demonic beasts, with hatred, utilized the earth to escape and followed closely behind.
“Ai, blinded by hatred.”
Lu Xuan sighed a wordless sigh and flew out from the corner.
“Based on the time it took to come over, the Two-Headed Armadillo Demon Beast took more than a quarter of a minute to come and go, and with the goal of searching for ‘me’, that’s more than enough time.”
As he analyzed, he quickly came to the depths of the cavern.
“To avoid a long night, it’s better to fight quickly.”
Lu Xuan fully operated his Floating Light Stance like a dark shadow, drilling into the inner wall of the cavern without a sound.
“Found it.”
In the dimness, his eyes steeply brightened and gleamed.
In the corner, a thick layer of deep yellow soil was being spread, and the soil aura was overflowing, which could be sensed from afar.
“This is …… E Spiritual Soil?”
Lu Xuan, in his spare time, had flipped through many tomes about spiritual plants in the sect’s hidden scripture cabinet, and with a slight inspection, he was able to distinguish the origin of this deep yellow soil.
The E Spirit Soil contained an abundance of Earth Spirit Power, which was suitable for most Spirit Plants, accelerating their growth, and was often accompanied by the generation of Earth Spirit Ore.
At the same time, E Spiritual Soil was also the main refining material for many earth system magic weapons.
Lu Xuan was about to pocket the Ground E Spiritual Soil when suddenly, a drooping two-headed armadillo attacked out from the shadows.
Lu Xuan had been on guard since he entered, and with a stroke of the Purple Electricity Sword in his hand, the lightning glowed loudly, instantly decapitating the aged armadillo demonic beast.
After easily resolving the old armadillo demonic beast, Lu Xuan flew to collect the E Spirit Loam, scraping layer after layer until the grayish-black soil was revealed.
Before he left, he smoothly put the corpse of the two-headed armadillo into his storage bag.
In this way, he flew through the cavern cracks, during which he came across another senile two-headed armadillo, and after resolving it, he quickly collected the E Spirit Loam inside.
“This is running into the granary of the Two-Headed Armadillos?” Lu Xuan said in surprise as he looked at the rock cavern, which was filled with Spirit Ore everywhere.
There were many types of Spirit Ores in different forms, most of them were Second Grade, and there were quite a few Third Grade Spirit Ores as well.
According to Qian Dinghong said, two-headed armadillo usually to all kinds of ores for food, in front of this pile of spirit ore must be this armadillo community to collect for a long time to get.
He naturally incorporated these spirit ores into his storage bag and continued to scavenge the E Spirit Loam in the cavern.
“There are still two armadillo hatchlings left.”
In the deepest part of the cavern, Lu Xuan found two light gray two-headed armadillo hatchlings.
The young beasts were about less than a foot long, with scales and armor that had yet to grow on their bodies, and when they saw Lu Xuan come in, they roared towards him with a feigned ferocity, with a clueless look that they had yet to quit breastfeeding.
“Where are your parents? Where did they go?”
“How can I bear to leave you alone at home? What if you run into bad people?”
Lu Xuan crushed a piece of Second Grade Ore and fed each of the two Two-Headed Armadillos a small piece.
A thought flashed through his mind as his mind coalesced around the light gray body of the young Two-Headed Armadillo.
[Two-Headed Armadillo, Third Grade Demonic Beast, Hatchling Stage.]
[Naturally good at the art of earth evasion, can travel freely through rocks and soil, feeds on refined iron ore, extremely sensitive to the scent of all types of ores, can easily locate spirit ores.]]
[During its growth, it will gradually master various earth techniques. The scale armor on the body of a mature Two-Headed Armadillo has an extremely strong defensive effect, and is a rare material for refining defensive spells].
[If I don’t eat the earth, who will?
“Third grade demonic beast, only just born not long ago, barely has first grade demonic beast strength.”
“Too weak, I’m a kind-hearted person, I really can’t rest assured that you guys are okay.”
“This way, first follow me, after discovering your parents, let you rejoin them.”
Lu Xuan squatted down and tenderly said towards the two Two-Headed Armadillo cubs.
Then, before waiting for the two young Two-Headed Armadillo beasts to react, he directly put them into the Sheng Sheng Bag.
The Sheng Sheng Bag was able to greatly slow down the flow of vitality of the Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Beasts, and the First Grade Twin-headed Armadillo Juvenile Beasts wouldn’t be affected much even if they were put away for quite a long period of time.
After Lu Xuan confirmed that the Two-Headed Armadillo’s nest had already realized three lights, he estimated that the more than ten Two-Headed Armadillos that had gone out to avenge their deaths were about to return.
From afar, he clasped his fists in the direction where the Two-Headed Armadillos had left.
“Your son, I will raise him.”
With that, a thin layer of gray and yellow aura shield appeared on his body, and he chose a direction opposite to the direction the Two-Headed Armadillo had left, and dove headfirst into it.
Lu Xuan was like a fish darting through the rocks, with darkness in front of him, but he had a sense of being at ease as he was, with no stagnation in the hard rocks and mountains.
“Whew……”
He burrowed out of the soil and looked into the distance, the rocky mountain was more than ten miles away from him now.
“I also don’t know what kind of reaction those Two-Headed Armadillo Demon Beasts will have when they return to their nest.”
“Being stolen from home this time is a lesson for them, I hope they will keep it in mind.”
As for whether or not the Two-Headed Armadillo Demonic Beasts’ anger would spread to their passing fellow disciples, Lu Xuan could only pray that they would fend for themselves.
