Chapter Nine, The Deceptive Cat

Alright

He glanced twice, confirming it was not an illusion! That earthen mound seemed to be moving

Whoosh

"Ouba, it seems to be lacking in spirit."

Garfield was hit again, this time leaving a blood mark on his forehead from the pangolin's claws. The poor cat let out a wail and rolled out again with a gurgle, while the pangolin unleashed a lightning-fast speed, striking again before Garfield could regain his balance

Chen Xiaolian took up the sword once again, and this time, Garfield also pounced forward.

Rong Benjingxiang seems to be somewhat hesitant

Chen Xiaolian : `` ... ... ''

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck my mind

If one claims to have become a "new player," then...

When looking at Garfield, Chen Xiaolian nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood

With a sharp sound, the pangolin let out a piercing scream, and after bouncing away, it did not hesitate to burrow underground.

Is it hungry, oppa

The size is not as intimidating as that of the four-eyed battle cat, but its entire body is dark as if made of rock, and... there is a faint green glow subtly emanating from its body, which makes Chen Xiaolian wary.

In the end, Rongben Jingxiang chose to stay here

Chen Xiaolian did not say anything further

For now, let's not worry about these matters; the primary objective is to leave this place and then find a way to return home

WQNMLGB bazaar hey!

Cautiously navigating through the woods, Chen Xiaolian kept a close eye on the "Coordinate Radar" displayed on the interface

I go!

Chen Xiaolian cursed inwardly! Dizziness additional effect?!?!

What is referred to as "cute behavior" ... ! ... Look! This Garfields that is currently being adorable is it!

Chen Xiaolian hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and leaped down from the tree!

Chen Xiaolian had already sustained injuries in four places, and he felt his stamina declining sharply. At this moment, he felt a twinge of regret in his heart, as he had allocated all his points to strength and agility during the attribute enhancement.

This time, he chose to proceed in the opposite direction from the last exploratory path.

Damn it

Garfield

What a great opportunity to deliver the finishing blow

Perhaps we should leave here and go out to take a look; maybe this is an adventurous move. Chen Xiaolian finally expressed his thoughts: "But I always have a feeling that hiding here is not a good solution and will not resolve any issues."

The cat, suspended in mid-air, began to undergo changes; its small body rapidly expanded! By the time Garfield landed, its physique already bore a striking resemblance to how it appeared during yesterday's battle.

Damn it, I really hate these cold-blooded animals... Chen Xiaolian felt a bit nervous! Because he was bitten by a snake in his childhood, the animal he fears the most in this world is the snake!

Especially when he could see some strange "interfaces," he chose to remain silent

Chen Xiaolian felt his body lift off the ground and then fall back down. The pangolin was clearly hit, yet it seemed to hesitate for a moment, unable to rise and fight immediately

In addition to these, Chen Xiaolian had another question in her heart

Chen Xiaolian suddenly had a brainwave, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, rolled up her sleeves, and extended her arm: "Here, go ahead and take a bite."

The greatest issue lies within this cabin. The cabin appears to protect everyone; when the four-eyed battle cat attacked, it was evident that it could not enter the cabin and would be repelled by an invisible force.

However, one cannot remain in the novice village forever

Although the immediate danger has been averted, Chen Xiaolian's heart is not at all at ease

Garfield: "Meow ~ ~ ~ ~"

Damn it

Chen Xiaolian was taken aback, not expecting this fellow to be so combative

Then, suddenly, from behind Garfield, a head shot up from the ground like lightning, taking a bite out of Garfield's plump backside

Garfield let out a cry, rolled out sideways, and when he stood up, there was clearly an additional scar on his hindquarters, while the pangolin slowly crawled out from the ground

A sharp sound piercing through the air

Well, Xiuxiu is holding Garfield in her arms—yes, that's right, Garfield. This is the name that Chen Xiaolian gave to this pet

Did the prompt not say yesterday that defeating just one monster would activate it

At this moment, I am counting on you, Garfield, hurry up and deliver the finishing blow

Garfield suddenly let out a cry, and then Chen Xiaolian could feel Garfield struggling with all its might, as if trying to break free from her embrace! The fur of this cat was standing on end!

Where did the other people on the plane go

However

... ...

Escape? Will this monster let me go? With its speed, I cannot outrun it if it decides to pursue me

As I watched, the pangolin climbed back up again

In the communication with Nagamoto Shizuka, she indicated that based on her past experience flying this route, if the aircraft did not deviate from its course during the flight, the estimated location of the crash would be approximately in a certain area of the South Pacific.

At this moment, Garfield suddenly opened his mouth and a transparent gas cloud burst forth from it

Chen Xiaolian was both anxious and angry after reading it

Perhaps after the activation of the cat's howling skill, it exhausted its strength? ... Garfield has already exited the combat state, his body swaying slightly, rapidly shrinking ... ! ... From the mighty four-eyed battle cat, he transformed into that adorable fat cat! !

The airplane meal included a bag of dried small fish, and the cat merely stuck out its tongue before disdainfully climbing away

Suddenly, Garfield in Chen Xiaolian's arms reacted

After half a day, I finally stood up and let out a sigh

Chen Xiaolian was taken aback, looking at the four-eyed battle cat in Xiuxiu's arms, which indeed appeared somewhat listless

Chen Xiaolian stood firm and, feeling somewhat exasperated, let out a curse

Chen Xiaolian could only curse inwardly: Are you going to hit me too???

The lightsaber slashed out, and the pangolin moved with astonishing speed, swiftly darting past the edge of the blade. Chen Xiaolian felt a dark shadow rushing towards his face and, in a moment of haste, could only manage to turn his head.

The tree, which was originally regarded as a protective barrier behind, has collapsed with a thunderous sound

Damn it, I was also hit and stunned!

Chen Xiaolian lay sprawled on the ground

Finally, as I crossed a small hill, a prompt appeared on the interface

That damned [copy task] did not present any new instructions

He himself has no answer in his heart

Oh right! I am truly an idiot

Finally, during one of the pangolin's pounces, Chen Xiaolian's lightsaber swept across its body

... ...

Setting ... ... Game ... ...

After several exchanges, although Chen Xiaolian exerted all her strength to swing the lightsaber back and forth, and Garfield was also making efforts to pounce, the pangolin proved to be exceptionally agile, constantly jumping up and down and darting around. Both the person and the cat were panting heavily, yet they were unable to do anything about this creature

Oh? There is another player here

After several movements, it came to a stop, the soil was turned over, and a head emerged...

Could it be an invisible monster

The speed of this movement is extremely fast, comparable to yesterday's four-eyed battle cat. Chen Xiaolian silently calculated the distance in his heart

At this moment, the area that needed to be dealt with had significantly shrunk. During the two attacks from the pangolin, Chen Xiaolian leaned against a large tree, only using his sword to swiftly slash, and he did not suffer any further losses. Garfield seemed to have also learned to be clever, as its animal instincts prompted it to quickly move closer to Chen Xiaolian.

Moreover, Chen Xiaolian did not disclose all of her circumstances to Rong Benjingxiang

The reminder has transformed into a dog-sized creature, with two additional eyes growing on its head, and especially its claws, which have developed sharp backward-facing hooks

A woman's voice, slightly hoarse, yet subtly carries an indescribable charm.

Could it be a safe zone similar to a novice village? Chen Xiaolian had indeed considered such a question in her mind

The triangular head, combined with the standard posture of a reptile, led Chen Xiaolian to conclude that this creature, even if not a snake, must certainly be something similar to a lizard

Chen Xiaolian watched as the pangolin left a scar on Garfield with lightning speed. Once Garfield was done for, she would be unable to hold on by herself!

When the entire body of this monster emerged from the ground, Chen Xiaolian let out a sigh of relief; it was a creature that resembled a pangolin.

At that moment, a series of loud noises suddenly came from behind!

As for the "combat state," do not expect it to instantly transform into the imposing monster that Chen Xiaolian encountered. The combat state will provide a significant enhancement in abilities compared to the cute state; however, it requires cultivation

I tried to feed it milk, but it seemed to just glance at it and disdainfully turned its head away

... ...

After a pause, Chen Xiaolian expressed her concerns: "Perhaps there are other people on this island."

Chen Xiaolian widened her eyes, staring in astonishment as the pangolin instantly transformed into a beam of light and vanished

Chen Xiaolian felt a deep sense of grief and indignation: This is the heavens wanting to destroy me!

Your sister!

Are you provoking someone and then unable to compete with them? Isn't that foolish

Meow ~ '' Garfield sniffed his nose and walked away nonchalantly

Chen Xiaolian was taken aback. Hiding behind the leaves, Chen Xiaolian strained her eyes to search, but could see nothing unusual

All aspects of ability must be cultivated gradually It is difficult to understand even more of Chen Xiaolian's practice

( Flash Sale! )

At the beginning, everyone was very confident, believing that even if they could not find a way out, they could wait for rescue here. However, now that such terrifying monsters have appeared, that confidence has begun to waver

Could it be that it requires the flesh and blood of its master for sustenance

I truly wasted my efforts writing so many fantasy novels

At that moment, the radar suddenly reacted

Within the radar, two green light spots are rapidly approaching

A red dot appeared on the radar and then quickly disappeared again

Brush

In other words, the four-eyed battle cat that fought against Chen Xiaolian has already become a mature battle beast. After being captured by it, the system transformed it into an initial state, akin to a novice player on a blank slate.

In fact, he still harbors concerns. After all, what if there are other "players" on this island? The passengers and crew on those planes have disappeared without a trace

Is it really safe for two girls to stay here? Although the cabin serves as a safe zone, perhaps those monsters cannot approach, but other players should be able to enter... So? What if we encounter a bad person?

The events I have encountered are truly bizarre—Oh heavens, I am just a student and an online writer, am I not? Is it really necessary to subject me to such a tumultuous and thrilling experience?

... ...

two hundred meters ... ... one hundred meters ... ... ... fifty meters ...

Garfield let out a low growl and then suddenly pounced on the pangolin!

Garfield: "Meow ... ... "

A distance of two to three hundred meters, if one encounters some kind of monster, perhaps there would still be time to react or escape. But what if one encounters another human being? Would the other party also have a similar radar? Can they see oneself? Is the other party's intention benevolent or malevolent?

With a heart full of frustration, Chen Xiaolian threw Garfield onto the ground and sat cross-legged, carefully reviewing all the information regarding "battle pets" in the interface.

Hmm?

He has roughly determined from yesterday's battle that the effective range of this radar is approximately between a radius of 200 to 300 meters

Finally, based on the radar's displayed position, a dirt mound fifty meters away caught Chen Xiaolian's attention

One person and one cat, although they are at a significant disadvantage in terms of speed, at least they have gained a bit of momentum in their combined attack

Even when beating a cat, one must consider the owner! Go die, you wretch!

Chen Xiaolian suddenly felt a blur before his eyes

The pangolin reacted very quickly; before Garfield could pounce, it had already burrowed into the ground! Garfield missed his target and then began scratching the ground furiously.

It is impossible, isn't it

Chen Xiaolian quickly turned around and ran towards the large tree behind him, then leaned against the tree, firmly securing his position while gripping his sword

With a firm grip on the hilt of the lightsaber, Chen Xiaolian suppressed the urge to summon the skill "Goddess of Dawn"

Kakakakaka ... ...

The red dot on the radar has appeared again

Chen Xiaolian's gaze tightened as she picked up Garfield, glanced around, and quickly jumped onto a large tree nearby. After her body was enhanced, Chen Xiaolian agilely leaped onto the trunk and then concealed herself as much as possible among the dense foliage.

[Prompt: The battle pet, the Four-eyed Battle Cat, activates the "Cat Howl" skill, with a small probability of causing a stun effect that lasts for five seconds, five, four ... ... ]

The pangolin slowly crawled towards the tree where Chen Xiaolian was standing... Chen Xiaolian's palms were already sweating as he nervously stared at this creature... Its crawling speed was not fast, but what was this creature's ability?

Garfield followed closely behind Chen Xiaolian, looking listless. This fellow was not slow in running, but it was evident that his spirits were declining.

Warning: The battle pet has not been fed for 24 hours. Please feed it as soon as possible. Otherwise, in the following hours, 10% of the battle pet's health will be deducted each hour. If the health is completely depleted, the battle pet will die.

Chen Xiaolian had not yet reacted when Garfi suddenly leaped out of her arms!

Are there any other players here? Are there any other terrifying monsters similar to the Four-Eyed Battle Cat? Perhaps even more powerful monsters?

Then, I will go out to scout the way alone." Chen Xiaolian hesitated and made this suggestion

Ah! Come back!

It feels as if I have received another heavy blow, so many stars...

A sharp arrow fell from the sky, piercing directly into the neck of the pangolin, pinning it firmly to the ground

The clothing on the shoulder was torn, revealing a gash from which blood flowed profusely.

Once again departing, Chen Xiaolian did not feel confident due to possessing certain "superpowers." He vaguely sensed that this situation was becoming increasingly strange and increasingly dangerous

So fast

The only one who still seems quite relaxed is probably Xiuxiu

It seems that my physical strength is still too weak, as I feel breathless after just a few rounds, with a faint but tearing pain in my chest.

Bang

Ah, it turns out that battle pets are divided into two states: "Cute State" and "Combat State"

What exactly do you want to eat?" Chen Xiaolian squatted down and looked at Garfield

A burning pain shot through her shoulder! Chen Xiaolian immediately realized that she was injured

Damn it

Chen Xiaolian suddenly changed color and lunged to one side!

While Chen Xiaolian was quietly discussing with Rongben Jingxiang in the corner of the cabin, Xiuxiu was happily running around the cabin, after all, she was just a child and had a short memory. Perhaps she really regarded that monster from yesterday as a game or a playhouse?

"I will leave the choice to you," Chen Xiaolian said in a very serious tone. "Leaving here with me may involve danger, but I might be able to protect you. Staying here... may be safe, but there is also the possibility of encountering some unknown dangers."

Beneath the tree roots, the pangolin suddenly sprang up! It lunged fiercely at the back of Chen Xiaolian! ... Chen Xiaolian felt as if he had been struck by a hammer on his back, and instantly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if all the air in his lungs had been forced out...

The most important thing is, how can I return home?

Suddenly, the pangolin darted out

Just as the red dot was about to approach, it suddenly changed direction. Then, as if going in circles, it began to circle around fifty meters away.

The outside world ... ? ... can it still find its way here ?
