As the rock monster was hiding away, Lin Qiao immediately shot at its head.
Bang! A bullet that was larger than the previous ones by three times flew out of the gun and sank into the monster’s eye before it could close it.
Puff!
“Roarrrrrrrrr!”
The bullet detonated and turned the monster’s eye into a hole, agitating it again.
The rock monster screamed shrilly and shrugged in the lava as the wounds in the eye brought it an extreme pain. The energy in its nucleus automatically flowed to that eye to ease the pain and stabilize the injury.
The balance between the two types of energies in its body was broken. As the monster’s energy flowed to other areas, the catmint energy was instantly freed. Once again, it spread rapidly in the monster’s body.
Bang! Bang! The fierce pain from the eye made the monster roll out of the pool and bump into the rock wall. Over and over again, the monster bumped its head against the wall.
The cave was shaken intensely along with the deafening noise.
Lin Qiao figured the noise was loud enough to be sensed by those Huaxia people and wondered where those people had been. They were following behind her at first, but then suddenly went missing. Did they get lost?
At that moment, the rock monster roared thunderously while bumping its head into the rock.
Right then, a red figure suddenly descended from the sky while brandishing its claws and teeth, pouncing on the rock monster within a blink.
“Roar!” Sensing the incoming threat, the rock monster immediately turned around. But in the next second, the red cat widened its mouth and bit down. The cat wagged its tail as it leaped onto the rock wall and started pulling the rock monster upward.
The rock monster was huge and, of course, heavy. If its neck were too weak to hold the weight of its body, its head might be ripped off by the cat.
Lin Qiao squatted in the hole on the rock wall which was created by a flower of the rock monster, speechlessly watching the six-footed cat crawling on the vertical rock wall like a house lizard, with the rock monster’s head held tightly between its teeth.
The monster’s head was huge. The cat had widened its mouth as much as possible but only managed to hold half of the monster’s head. The cat had strong teeth though. Those teeth actually broke the rock monster’s skin, which was as hard as a rock.
Where did the cat come from? Why didn’t Lin Qiao sense its vibe before?
Lin Qiao curiously looked upward and found a hole in the cave roof. The hole wasn’t there just a short while ago!
Some rock pieces would have fallen into the cave when the cat was digging the hole. Earlier, the rock monster whipped the flowers onto the surrounding rock walls and struck off many rock pieces. The cat might have dug through the cave roof at that moment. While doing that, it also hid its vibe perfectly.
“Roar!” The rock monster, which was lifted by the cat with its head held in the cat’s mouth, uttered a series of roars. It swung a dozen flowers toward the cat’s body, but the latter accurately slapped the flowers off with its pair of forepaws every time!
While fending off the rock monster’s attack, the cat had also been crawling upward, dragging its body higher and higher. Lin Qiao had no idea where it wanted to take the rock monster to!
The cat was smaller than the rock monster by three times, but its strength wasn’t weaker at all. With the monster held tightly in its mouth, it dragged the monster upward on the vertical rock wall. That was so impressive, not even mention the fact that the monster was larger than it.
As the cat suddenly showed up and made a move, Lin Qiao decided to watch. Its appearance surprised her. Even though it followed her all the way on the earth’s surface, she wasn’t expecting it to follow her down to the underground realm. Lin Qiao wasn’t angry at the cat for showing up suddenly to steal her prey. She was just more and more surprised by the monster.
Maybe because of the catmint energy which had still been spreading inside its body, or the sharp pain coming from its eye, or the puncture wounds on its skull caused by the big cat, the rock monster’s flowers dropped weakly, and the movements of its limbs had grown slow as well.
The big cat still held the monster’s head firmly in its mouth, with its claws clasping the rock walls to crawl upward. From time to time, it hooked the bulging places on the wall with its tail to keep itself from falling.
Lin Qiao watched the cat bring the rock monster higher and higher. The rock monster’s neck was elongated, with its enormous body hanging on it. Its neck was strong too, but it didn’t have a texture like the texture of rock. Instead, the skin on the creature’s neck looked like coarse tree bark.
There were some wounds on its neck, probably caused by the few bullets that Lin Qiao shot into its mouth earlier. After all, those bullets had exploded in its throat. Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes and saw a large amount of green catmint energy lingering in the creature’s neck.
Suddenly, the big cat stopped moving and popped its eyes as it stared at Lin Qiao, who was right in front of it, and uttered a series of growl from its throat.
Lin Qiao was confused. Why was the cat looking at her?
“Errr…” The cat kept growling at her deeply as it raised a forepaw slightly.
“I’m sorry, I don’t speak cat language,” Lin Qiao looked at the cat bewilderedly.
The big cat was looking at her and growling with a deep voice. Clearly, it was trying to deliver a message. However, the other was a zombie and not a cat. How could she possibly understand the cat’s meaning?
“Errr…” The big cat didn’t understand Lin Qiao’s language either, but seemed to read the look in her eyes. It patted the rock wall again with a paw and then reached out the paw to point at the rock monster’s neck.
It was literally pointing at the monster’s neck, because it had even popped a hook-like nail while doing that!
Lin Qiao stayed silent. That movement of the cat was quite clear, but she still wasn’t sure what the cat wanted.
“Do you want me to attack its neck for you?”
Before Lin Qiao could figure out what the big cat wanted, the rock monster suddenly let out a roar and started struggling again.
“Roarrrrrr!” Earlier on, it quieted down, seemingly to take a rest. Now, as it had gotten enough rest, it again started to struggle. The dozen large flowers raised their heads again to attack the big cat fiercely.
The big cat immediately grew alert. It clutched the rock wall with its four rear paws while defending itself against those flowers with its forepaws and its tail.
It was a little difficult for the cat to protect itself against all the flowers with only two paws and a tail, because it needed to spare its attention to clench its teeth and hold the wall tightly with the other four paws.
