Chapter 43: Electric Flying Cat
Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Electric Flying Cat
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
At the foot of the sparsely populated Qinling Mountains, the bright moonlight drapes over the earth like gauze. Even without streetlights, one can roughly make out the surroundings.
What’s more, having become a Beastmaster and eaten several Spirit Fish, Chen Yuan’s eyesight is much better than before.
Walking at night is now effortless.
Chen Yuan and Zhang Hao crouched on the balcony of Uncle Zhao’s second floor, turning off the lights, silent and unmoving, seemingly merging with the night.
From this angle looking down, one can see the anxious Gray-armored Wild Boar and the tall Luminous Fruit Tree.
The night seethes, and time flows.
…
In the ink-black night sky,
a reddish-brown figure sliced through the night, gliding silently into Uncle Zhao’s farm like an apparition, completely silent.
The Electric Flying Cat landed quietly on the crown of the Luminous Fruit Tree, tucked its wing-like yellow membrane, and looked down with its black eyes— the bulky big fat pig was still wandering beneath the tree.
“Hmm…”
The Electric Flying Cat tilted its head, feeling a bit troubled.
Why is this annoying guy still guarding here?!
Remembering the events of the past few days, the Electric Flying Cat wore an angry expression.
If it wasn’t for this guy blocking it, it would have already taken the fruits from here!
Blame, blame, blame it!
The more it thought about it, the angrier it got. The Electric Flying Cat’s expression turned furious, and the yellow pouches on its cheeks suddenly flickered with electrical currents, snapping it back to reality.
No, no!
It can’t be exposed yet!
The Electric Flying Cat quickly calmed down, drove away the agitated currents, and started thinking of a strategy.
Taking the fruits directly is out of the question; it would be discovered by this bothersome creature.
Thinking back to when it was picking fruits in the tree, and the Gray-armored Wild Boar crashed into the tree, causing it to shake violently; it almost got dizzy. The Electric Flying Cat’s face turned pale.
Ugh~
The sense of immersion was too strong, and it staggered again, almost fainting.
It seems the only option is to use yesterday’s trick…
The Electric Flying Cat tilted its head thoughtfully, deciding first to lure the Gray-armored Wild Boar away, then return to pick the fruits, picking as many as possible.
Even if it can’t finish picking them, it can always come back next time.
Thinking of this, the Electric Flying Cat smiled sweetly, a look of happiness spreading across its face.
The next moment,
The Electric Flying Cat exhaled gently, its round black eyes serious and focused. It unfolded its wing-like yellow membrane, and in an instant, sparks flashed.
Without hesitation, the Electric Flying Cat stepped forward, jumping down from the treetop, the yellow pouches on its cheeks flowing with current, synchronizing with the wing-like yellow membrane like a magical cloak, making quite an impression.
The serene night sky was shattered by the dazzling electric current.
Electric Flying Cat danced mid-air, electricity crackling all over, immediately drawing the angry gaze of the Gray-armored Wild Boar on the ground, snorting and chasing after.
Stupid creature!
Seeing the Gray-armored Wild Boar charging over, Electric Flying Cat secretly laughed, controlling its flight speed while gradually distancing itself from Uncle Zhao’s farm.
After two confrontations, Electric Flying Cat knew well that its flight speed couldn’t be too fast, or it would lose the boar’s chase motivation; nor too slow, or the boar would catch it.
“Yuan, what kind of Extraordinary Creature is that?” Zhang Hao asked, looking puzzled at the Electric Flying Cat in the air.
Chen Yuan glanced in the moonlight and shook his head, “I don’t know.”
“There are many unknown Extraordinary Creatures these days, it’s normal that we don’t know them.” He added.
“I leave the rest to you two.” Then, Chen Yuan turned his head towards Spark and Cola.
“Chirp.” Spark nodded slowly.
“Roar…”
Cola was full of vigor, just about to respond loudly when Chen Yuan covered its mouth, warning, “Keep it down, don’t alert the prey!”
“Roar, roar.” Cola widened its eyes, nodding repeatedly.
Soon,
Spark spread its wings and soared high, the orange figure darting into the night sky, disappearing in an instant.
Cola initially thought of jumping directly from the second floor, but as it poked out its head to check the height, its legs shivered and abandoned the idea.
Taking the stairs is quick too.
Seeing the two small creatures chase after the Electric Flying Cat, Zhang Hao couldn’t help but suggest, “Since I’m a Beastmaster now, why don’t I release the Gray-armored Wild Boar to help?”
Chen Yuan replied indifferently, “If the Gray-armored Wild Boar can catch up, go ahead.”
Zhang Hao instantly deflated, first letting out a sigh, then said gloomily, “My poor Gray-armored Wild Boar, everyone underestimates you, yet you’re the funniest.”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan did not laugh, but instead looked at Zhang Hao seriously, “Haozi, Pet Beasts are very smart, they listen carefully to your every word.”
Zhang Hao’s expression shifted slightly.
“Although sometimes it’s joking, if the other party doesn’t find it funny, or thinks it’s inappropriate, it’s just…” Chen Yuan hesitated.
Zhang Hao pursed his lips, changing his playful demeanor, nodding solemnly, “I’ll be careful about this.”
Chen Yuan replied, “There are no worthless Pet Beasts, only worthless Beastmasters.”
Zhang Hao: “….”
Meanwhile,
“Hmm…”
Seeing the distance from Uncle Zhao’s farm growing greater, the Gray-armored Wild Boar still desperately chasing behind, the Electric Flying Cat wore a look of scheming satisfaction, suddenly stopping.
Enough is enough, time to turn back and pick some fruits.
Just as the Electric Flying Cat was joyfully turning back, the corner of its eye caught sight of flames rapidly breaking through the thick night, crashing towards it!
“Hmm!”
The Electric Flying Cat was startled, its pupils trembling, trying to control its trembling body to dodge the unexpected attack, but the fear overwhelmed its instinctual reaction, freezing it in place.
The roaring flames came closer, and a wave of scorching heat hit its face, the raging fire consuming its entire view.
Bang!
The flames narrowly missed the Electric Flying Cat, a searing wave washed over it, causing Electric Flying Cat to think it was hit, letting out a scream, falling towards the ground.
“Chirp?”
Spark frowned mid-air, puzzled.
This attack from Flame Surge was meant to scare, it didn’t actually hit the Electric Flying Cat, so why did it fall anyway?
Spark couldn’t understand, reluctantly folded its wings, landed gently on the ground, and stared at the unconscious Electric Flying Cat, deep in thought.
A moment later,
Both Cola and the Gray-armored Wild Boar arrived.
Cola examined the unconscious Electric Flying Cat, then turned to Spark, “Roar, roar?”
Did you kill it?
The master wants us to bring it back alive.
Hearing this, Spark’s frown deepened, growling softly, “Chirp, chirp…”
No, my attack didn’t hit it.
It… it seems to have fainted from fright.
Spark’s response was full of uncertainty, even doubting its own control over its skills.
It deliberately avoided hitting the body while attacking.
“Snort, snort…”
The Gray-armored Wild Boar glared at the motionless Electric Flying Cat, paws digging into the ground repeatedly, snorting hotly, its slim pig tail swishing side to side.
A strong sense of resentment was gathering.
