Chapter 3849 A Pangolin
The water-repellent beads helped Xiao Yi push away the surrounding pool water. An indescribable feeling surged into his heart. At this moment, Xiao Yi seemed to have passed through a layer of water film.
After passing through, he came to another space in the cave. This place was the same size as before, but when Xiao Yi just entered here, a terrifying pressure was imposed on him in an instant, making Xiao Yi breathless for a moment.
Where exactly is this place? According to Xiao Yi's previous calculations, he is now at least three or four hundred meters underground. The hot temperature, coupled with this oppressive environment, Xiao Yi looked around.
Looking up, there is a layer of water film above the top of the cave. On the water film is the place where Xiao Yi passed before. Such a thin layer of water film allows such a huge amount of water to suspend in the air.
This is the first time Xiao Yi has seen such a scene. Xiao Yi can't help but think of the previous rumors. Is there really a giant python in it? Thinking about it makes no sense.
Walking forward, Xiao Yi picked up a few things from the ground, buttons on people's clothes, watches, mobile phones and other items, but there was no sign of anyone.
Some things were even older. When Xiao Yi picked them up, they were already weathered and unrecognizable. A piece of coarse cloth and a bamboo backpack collapsed and turned into ashes when his fingers touched it.
In addition to these, there were some hairs left by animals. Thinking of what the old village chief said before, could it be that these things left behind were the villagers who had disappeared before?
"Come out, you've been following me all the way, and you've worked hard."
Xiao Yi squatted on the ground and talked to himself.
The huge cave was empty. Xiao Yi was talking alone, which seemed a bit abnormal. It seemed that there was no one else except Xiao Yi.
"Don't show up yet? You have to force me to do it!"
The notice has been issued, but if you still don't show up, don't blame Xiao Yi for being rude.
Raising his fist, Xiao Yi punched down and hit the ground. A golden light burst out from his fist and penetrated into the ground.
At this moment, not far in front of Xiao Yi, the hard rock seemed to move. A crack appeared in the rock, as if something had pushed out from the bottom.
A sharp head, followed by a pair of dark eyes, crawled out of the stone. Then Xiao Yi saw that this thing was covered with thick scales. After a puff of smoke crawled out, it took the opportunity to escape.
It slipped to the stone wall on the side and used its sharp claws to break the hard rock. For it, traversing mountains and escaping underground was as easy as walking on flat ground. After a while, it dug a hole and wanted to dig through the stone wall to escape.
"Want to leave? You haven't asked me if I agree or not!"
Xiao Yi stepped forward quickly, and a golden light shot out from his palm again, landing on the stone wall.
The thing that crawled out of the ground, with its sharp claws, could not dig through the stone wall this time. After trying several times, it still had no effect. The rock seemed to have become as hard as steel.
Chirp...
It made an unwilling cry and planned to move to another place to try again. At this moment, Xiao Yi would not give it a chance.
He rushed forward with a burst of steps, grabbed the tail of the little thing, and lifted it up directly. After taking it in front of him, he saw clearly that it was a pangolin.
It was just different from ordinary pangolins. The size of the pangolin was twice as big as the ones seen outside. It had thick scales and sharp claws with a cold light, which was chilling.
If this claw came up, it was estimated that a person's stomach could be cut open. A pangolin had grown to such a terrible state.
The pangolin was grabbed by the tail by Xiao Yi, and realized the danger. It hurriedly twisted its body and waved its sharp claws, trying to bite Xiao Yi's hand with its sharp teeth.
"Are you still not giving up?"
A long sword appeared in Xiao Yi's hand with a thought. This was the Dragon Slashing Sword he had obtained before. The owner of the Dragon Slashing Sword was dead, so it fell into Xiao Yi's hands.
After integrating Xiao Yi's blood, Xiao Yi became its master. The moment the Dragon Slashing Sword was taken out, the pangolin in Xiao Yi's hand screamed a few times, as if it realized the horror of Xiao Yi's strength.
Chiji...
"I can let you go, but if you want to escape or attack me, I can kill you in one move."
Although there was no grudge, this pangolin had been following Xiao Yi since he entered the cave, and it must have had other purposes.
The pangolin seemed to understand what Xiao Yi meant, and it was nodding here, communicating with Xiao Yi with its mind.
"I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I don't want to die yet."
"Oh, it has developed intelligence. It is really extraordinary."
Xiao Yi released the pangolin's tail. The pangolin turned around a few times. He knew that with its ability, it could not escape from Xiao Yi's palm.
It had no choice but to stay by Xiao Yi's side and wait for Xiao Yi's decision. After a while, Xiao Yi asked.
"How long have you lived here?"
"This..."
"Don't think about lying to me. You should have seen my methods. If you lie to me, you will also die."
Xiao Yi warned in advance. The pangolin understood this very well and answered the question honestly.
"I have lived here for more than three hundred years. In the past few years, I have developed intelligence, can understand people's intentions, and can communicate with humans."
The pangolin said truthfully that although it has developed spiritual intelligence, it does not dare to appear in the human world. It has always lived in the deep mountains, relying on absorbing the essence of the world to increase its own cultivation.
"For more than three hundred years, it seems that you know a lot of things. Tell me what is going on here? And where did those missing people go."
Xiao Yi asked. Pangolin did not answer in a hurry, as if he was thinking of something, Xiao Yi chuckled.
"The previous blindfold was probably arranged by you. It would indeed be a pity if more than three hundred years of cultivation were directly destroyed."
"No, please forgive me. I will tell you everything I know."
After the pangolin realized how scary Xiao Yi was, he had no choice but to answer Xiao Yi's questions honestly.
It turns out that Pangolin can’t say how long this place has existed. It’s just that when it existed, the cave was already there.
At first it was just an ordinary pangolin, nothing special. Until one day, it dug through the stone wall and came to this cave. After feeling the specialness of this cave, it lived in this place. .
Over time, the pangolin absorbed the spiritual energy of the cave, felt the great benefits brought by this spiritual energy, and extended its lifespan. Now it has lived to more than three hundred years.
