The rocks on both sides rolled and the earth walls collapsed, revealing one after another, massive potholes akin to hornet nests. From these holes, swarms of monsters quickly burst forth, surrounding them from all directions.
The freshly popped-up monsters were precisely like the ones previously slain on the ground; all of them had bodies the size of ground-dwelling dogs, but were covered in hard, black scales, draggin huge tails behind them, with sharp claws. Looking at the way they burrowed out from the earth, Qin Jiagui suddenly found them resembling a combination of pangolins and ground-dwelling dogs.
The thick, protective scales and sharp claws were their perfect tools for digging through the earth walls.
