“Eh? It’s not your pet? Em… Is this the underground creature you mentioned?” Wu Chengyue smilingly landed near Lin Qiao, then started observing the six-footed cat.
“Its vibe is at level-seven at least. But, I think it’s a little more dangerous than a level-seven mutated beast. It’s indeed like those underground gorillas.”
“Aorrr… Lololo…” Failing to bar Lin Qiao’s way, the weird cat gave a roar and charged at her again.
“Does it want you?” Wu Chengyue said to Lin Qiao with a smile.
“How am I supposed to know?” Lin Qiao had no time to talk more to him as she leaped off the tree and disappeared.
“Er?” The six-footed cat landed where Lin Qiao disappeared from, then raised its head to look at the sky with confusion. It then made a few circles, then a few circles again. After that, it stopped moving, wagged its twenty-meter-long snake-tail-like tail, and shook its pair of small and round ears. At that moment, Black, Bowwow and the mushroom were all staying at a distance away quietly, looking at the cat. They had no plan to rush at it.
“Errr…” The black Tibetan mastiff landed on the ground and shook its fluffy black hair, then raised its head to look at the red cat as it bared its teeth and roared. The cat spent a short while staring at the sky. Only after it confirmed that Lin Qiao had truly disappeared did it turn to the mastiff and blinked its round eyes, then suddenly bared its teeth to roar at the dog deeply.
“Roar…”
“Owooo!” Hearing the cat’s voice, the dog grew even more agitated. However, it didn’t seem to be afraid of the cat’s vibe, which was higher-leveled than its own.
“Ehhh…” As the dog showed no sign of being afraid of it, but grew even fiercer, the cat adjusted its expression and scornfully snorted toward the dog, then turned its back to the dog. After that, the cat slightly bent its six legs and leaped high before disappearing in the midair.
After the cat disappeared, Lin Qiao showed up on top of a building.
“Wowo!” When the cat disappeared and Lin Qiao reappeared, Bowwow, Black and the mushroom instantly came onto the roof that she was on. She glanced at area that the cat disappeared into, then at the Tibetan Mastiff that had calmed back down. It was so fierce, baring its teeth a minute ago, but now, it had already quieted down already.
When she looked at the dog, the dog suddenly turned and gave her a glance. Then, it sprung up and ran away as well. Neither the dog nor the six-footed cat was going toward the base. They both went the other way.
Lin Qiao thought for a moment. She wasn’t worried about the dog yet, but she needed to follow the cat and see what it was doing. With that thought, she turned herself invisible and followed behind the weird cat.
After she disappeared, a few people showed up beside Wu Chengyue. Qiu Lili sniffed around, then furrowed slightly and said, “What’s the scent? Is it from some weird creature?”
Lin Feng looked around; the area wasn’t devastated, and not even a wave of energy was sensed. He wondered what those mutated beasts were doing there to cause such loud noises.
How come only a few barks were heard?
Lin Kui sensed the scent and said, “I remember this smell. It’s the red cat, isn’t it?”
Hearing about cat, Qiu Lili immediately had her eyes glowing. She even forgot about the smell that she didn’t like. “Cat?” She looked at Lin Kui and asked, “What cat? What does it look like?”
Lin Kui thought for a moment and said, “It’s as large as a cow, with six legs and a pair of horns. It’s red, and it has no hair. Oh, it also has a very long tail that looks like the tail of a snake.”
On hearing his description, Qiu Lili instantly lost her passion. Hairless? Six legs? Snake tail?
She pictured all those elements together, and the result was very weird.
“Where did you guys see it the last time?” Lin Feng thought of a question.
“Before we left the Northwest… We never thought it’d show up here so soon. It might have followed us here,” Lin Kui answered the question while wearing a serious look.
Why did the weird creature follow them?
Everyone wanted to know the answer of that question.
…
Lin Qiao turned herself invisible and rose into the sky as she controlled her energy and followed behind the cat. She thought the cat would go far, but unexpectedly, it soon landed at the edge of the forest near West Lake.
The cat was gigantic and had six feet, but it walked very quietly. Its vibe was so strong that the other mutated beasts in that area all fled away.
Lin Qiao landed on a tree while observing the cat’s movement. She saw the cat lower its head and search for something in the forest. A short while later, it finally slowed down.
In front of the cat was a mutated plant at level-five. Many red fruits were hanging on the tree.
The cat raised its head and spent a few seconds observing those fruits. Then, it looked around and abruptly swung its tail upward.
Clap! Clap! Clap! A lot of fruits on the tree were shaken off by its huge, whip-like tail.
Then, Lin Qiao saw the cat walk toward the tree and drop its head to look for something among the grass.
An idea flashed across Lin Qiao’s mind as she looked at the cat with disbelief. Soon, she saw it pick up a fruit from the ground with its mouth and chew on it.
Lin Qiao immediately wore a weird expression on her face. ‘So, this huge cat is a vegetarian?’
‘No way! The others all eat meat. Why are you a vegetarian? The cats on the earth’s surface feed on meat. Are you not a cat? But, you look like one!’
The six-footed cat ate the first fruit and licked its mouth with its tongue, then dropped its head again to find more fruits from among the grass while leisurely wagging its tail from side to side.
Lin Qiao quietly watched the cat eat all the fruits on the ground. As the cat prepared to whip off more fruits from the tree, she turned and left.
No wonder she sensed no blood scent from the cat. It was a vegetarian! Why did it show up near the base then? It seemed to be excited to see Lin Qiao.
By the time Lin Qiao returned to the base, Bowwow and his friends had already gone to the farm in Mount. Wu. Back home, she saw the two kids sitting in the living room without Wu Chengyue. With surprise, she asked Ling Ling, “Ling Ling, where’s your Daddy?”
Wu Yueling raised her head and shook her head to let Lin Qiao know that she had no idea where her father was.
Seeing that, Lin Qiao looked around questioningly.
