CHAPTER 522: CHAPTER 224 MUTATED PANGOLIN (PREMIUM!)_2

Liang Yuan dug these superpower stones out from the rock, then placed them in his inventory.

While mining, doubts arose in his heart.

"How are these superpower stones formed?"

"Why do they have different attributes?"

"Why are there only Earth Attribute and Fire Attribute superpower stones here, and not Wood Attribute or Water Attribute stones?"

One question popped up, followed by countless others.

Liang Yuan suddenly thought: "If I keep digging in the area dense with superpower stones, what will I find?"

His interest was piqued, and he immediately continued digging.

This mine had long been dug in a crisscross pattern, with intersecting tunnels inside, making it easy to get lost.

After all, mine slaves lacked Spiritual Power and couldn’t sense where superpower stones were located.

They could only dig randomly here and there.

Liang Yuan could sense the mineral layer that extends tens of meters deep, allowing him to judge where the superpower stones were.

However, after digging for a while, Liang Yuan discovered that this particular vein had no red Fire Attribute superpower stones, but instead, there were a lot of attributeless superpower stones.

"Hmm? None left? Could it be that superpower stones don’t have a specific vein?"

Liang Yuan found it odd and began searching other mine tunnels.

Suddenly, deep in the wall of one mine tunnel, a large area of earthy yellow light appeared in his Spiritual Power perception.

Liang Yuan halted his steps and immediately stopped: "Earth Attribute superpower stones seem rarer than Fire Attribute stones, yet there’s such a large area here?"

He promptly swung his hammer, starting to pound the wall.

Clinking and clanging sounds erupted, and before long, large chunks of the stone wall detached.

Liang Yuan immediately saw that inside, there were large clusters of earthy yellow superpower stones, growing together like crystal clusters.

He quickly began extracting these earthy yellow superpower stones.

In this area, there were quite a number of Earth Attribute superpower stones. Liang Yuan dug out more than thirty pieces in total and still hadn’t finished.

By now, he had dug almost six meters deep into the wall hole.

Just as he was about to dig further, a sudden sense of danger hit him.

Liang Yuan was startled and instinctively released the Spirit Turtle Shield!

With a buzz, a transparent turtle shell-like shield appeared around him.

"Boom!"

Next moment, a muffled sound rang out.

In front, the earthy yellow superpower stones suddenly shook.

Then, the stones started to move with a clattering sound.

Liang Yuan was greatly alarmed and quickly stepped back.

"What is that?"

He retreated swiftly, almost instantly exiting the wall hole.

The earthy yellow stones also noticed him at this moment, and as the stones loosened, the clattering sound intensified.

Then, a head covered with earthy yellow stone shards extended outward.

This round head had a long nose and a pair of eyes resembling yellow crystal balls.

Hissing—

It bared its teeth at Liang Yuan, then clattered its scales and charged out of the hole, quickly lunging towards him!

Liang Yuan hurriedly threw his hammer at the creature, smashing it against its yellow scale armor.

Bang—!

A muffled sound echoed, faintly with the sound of metal striking stone.

The mutant beast’s shell quivered slightly, with no apparent damage, but it charged even more fiercely.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but frown deeply, seeing how thick its scale armor was!

"What kind of creature is this? It looks a bit like a pangolin?"

He was puzzled. The beast had a unique appearance but resembled a pangolin.

However, it was much larger than a pangolin, almost as big as a cow.

It curled its body up, appearing like a stone ball, and rolled towards him with a thunderous roar.

Liang Yuan hastily kicked at it.

With a loud boom.

Liang Yuan felt a painful sensation in his foot, and his entire body was thrown backward!

This mutated pangolin not only had amazing defense but also terrifying strength!

Liang Yuan retreated rapidly, without hesitation, he unleashed a Spirit Shock!

Buzz—!

Spiritual Power surged like a mighty wave, violently striking the mutated pangolin.

The pangolin shook slightly and crashed into a mine tunnel, causing it to collapse.

It raised its head, shook it slightly, bared its teeth, then clawed at the ground furiously.

Soon, it emerged from the pile of rocks, turning into a rolling stone ball again, and clattered towards him.

Liang Yuan ran towards the tunnel exit, his expression filled with surprise.

"This creature even has some defense against Spiritual Power!"

The Spirit Shock he had just unleashed was almost full force; even Tian Wei would have had blood spurting from his mouth and nose with a shaken brain.

Yet, this mutated pangolin seemed unaffected, merely disoriented for a moment.

Liang Yuan could sense that its earthy yellow scales had not only physical defense but also partial resistance to Spiritual Power!

Wham!

Liang Yuan leaped aside, dodging the mutated pangolin’s stone ball attack.

Immediately, the stone ball hit the nearby rock, and a thunderous crash sounded as the rock shattered into pieces.

The terrifying impact force was more ferocious than a speeding truck!

Liang Yuan was now outside the tunnel, with many mine slaves staring in fear.

Liang Yuan shouted harshly: "Hide! There’s a mutant creature in the mine!"

Everyone reacted instantly, panicking and scattering in all directions.

Some hurriedly hid in the caves.

But some wise ones knew that hiding in the caves was dangerous; if hit by that stone ball, the entire cave could collapse.
