Chapter 1462 - 84: Beat It Up

Chapter 1462: Chapter 84: Beat It Up

Seven hours later, inside the cave.

A tree cocoon was suspended in mid-air, with Su Xiao setting up three life-sustaining devices around it. These devices were filled with a green solution, which emitted a light green mist around the tree cocoon, and the hard rocks nearby were covered with vegetation.

Ka-ba, ka-ba...

The entity inside the tree cocoon began to wriggle, and several sharp cat claws pierced through the cocoon. A wet Jungle Meow fell out from the broken opening underneath.

All the fur of the Jungle Meow stuck together, but the solution on its fur quickly evaporated, and soon, the Jungle Meow was again a fluffy mass.

Those dark green eyes opened, the spirit in them unchanged, still as defiant as ever.

"Looks like it’s a success."

Su Xiao sat on a rock not far away. Upon hearing Su Xiao’s voice, the Jungle Meow’s fur stood on end, and for some reason, its cat face felt a vague pain.

The Jungle Meow instinctively crossed its front paws in front of itself to guard against being slapped by Su Xiao.

The Jungle Meow looked towards the cave entrance and rushed towards it immediately.

Su Xiao’s right hand lifted, adorned with a metal glove. Inside the glass tube on the back of the hand was the terrifying concentration of Hashirama cells.

Buzz~

A wave spread from the metal glove, and the Jungle Meow, which was about to dash forward, froze, its cat face filled with disbelief.

"If you could escape that easily, wouldn’t my long-time study of Alchemy Biology be a waste?"

In the Jungle Meow’s incredulous gaze, it walked towards Su Xiao and finally sat in front of him.

The Jungle Meow was stunned. A moment later, it raised its front paw, unsheathed its sharp claws, and pressed them against its throat. Compared to being controlled, it would rather choose death.

Just as the Jungle Meow was about to claw its own throat, Su Xiao adjusted the metal glove, causing the strange vibration to disappear.

The Jungle Meow suddenly regained its freedom, feeling conflicted, unsure whether it should commit suicide or try to escape first.

"As a fellow intelligent creature, I’ll give you five minutes to consider whether to die here now or make a deal with me."

The Jungle Meow looked at Su Xiao in confusion, its eyes clearly saying: "What on earth is this human babbling about? I don’t understand a thing."

Bubu Wang stepped forward; it understood Su Xiao and could communicate simply with the Jungle Meow.

After Bubu Wang’s animated gestures, the Jungle Meow finally understood what Su Xiao meant. It had some time to consider whether to die here or make some sort of deal with that despicable human.

"Huff~"

The Jungle Meow let out a threatening growl at Bubu Wang, implying: "You lackey, you have no idea what freedom means."

Bubu Wang scoffed at this. From the time Bubu Wang gained consciousness, Su Xiao had never restricted its actions. In Reincarnation Paradise, it was even more free-spirited than Su Xiao, often wandering off to places even Su Xiao didn’t know, or in other words, Bubu Wang had its independent thoughts, and Su Xiao did not forcefully seek it out.

Not just Bubu Wang, A Mu was also free to go wherever. During battles, the team of one man, one dog, and one ox would definitely be together because they were a team. At other times, they moved freely.

Or perhaps, from Bubu Wang’s perspective, the Jungle Meow was not living but merely surviving. Its life was all about hunting or wandering in the forest, and someday it might just end up with a big family of kittens after a "hehehe" with a tomcat and eventually die of old age in this forest. Its world was limited to the Hot Rainforest Forest, or rather, its own small territory.

A Meow Star Person living in a well, yet looking down on a Dog Star Person who could traverse worlds.

Bubu Wang expressed its disdain. It had interacted with various intelligent races more than the insects the Jungle Meow had seen: Stone Men with grass on their heads, Birdmen with wings, and upright alligators that could speak human language. These were wonders the Jungle Meow could never imagine.

"Bubu, tell it what it needs to give and what it will gain in return."

Su Xiao drew the Dragon Slash from his waist and inserted it into the rock in front of him, then took out a contract, a summons contract.

After a long five minutes of Bubu Wang’s gestural narration, the Jungle Meow understood and knew that it didn’t have much time to think.

Either sign the contract or die here; there was no third option. If it signed the contract, it would help Su Xiao find rare resources and have free time to move around.

After Su Xiao’s Charm Attributes exceeded 20 points, he gained another summoning slot; otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried to modify the Jungle Meow.

"Time’s up."

Su Xiao raised his right hand, causing the strange vibration to reappear. The Jungle Meow froze in place. Wasn’t it promised that it could choose freely?

A Mu picked up the Jungle Meow, pressing its paw onto the scroll.

A reconstruction potion worth 70,000 Paradise coins, a Contract Scroll worth 49,000 Paradise coins—would Su Xiao really choose to invest a combined worth of 120,000 Paradise coins into a wild and untamable Jungle Meow? Absolutely not.

The Jungle Meow had no real choice today. If it agreed voluntarily, everything would be negotiable; otherwise, A Mu would decide for it.

"Meow!!"

The Jungle Meow let out a desperate cry, and with a snap, its chubby paw pressed onto the Contract Scroll.

The scroll shattered instantly, and a formation diagram embedded itself into the Jungle Meow’s body.

After A Mu released the Jungle Meow, its fur stood on end, as if to say, "You deceitful bastards! Where’s the promised freedom of choice?"

"You can go now."

Hearing Su Xiao’s words, the Jungle Meow was stunned. It actually understood—it was due to the summoning contract.

"Nyooo!"

The Jungle Meow hissed threateningly at Su Xiao and turned to flee.

Bubu Wang looked at Su Xiao in confusion, asking: "Just letting it leave like that? What about the treasure hunt?"

"Don’t worry, it’ll be back soon."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, the Jungle Meow peeked in from outside the cave entrance. It just ran away, only to discover it couldn’t revert to its original size.

"Come back in, let’s continue our discussion."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, and the Jungle Meow reluctantly walked back into the cave, its unwillingness palpable. Seeing its expression, Su Xiao said:

"Bubu, give it a beating."

"?"

"??"

Bubu Wang initially didn’t react to Su Xiao’s words. A moment later, it looked at the Jungle Meow, its eyes clearly saying: "Hello there, little buddy."

Three minutes later, after enduring a combination of attacks from Bubu Wang + A Mu, the Jungle Meow became much more obedient, fearing that if it continued its antics, Su Xiao might pick it up and slap it.

"You lost, and you must pay the price for failure..."

"Nyooo~"

The Jungle Meow meant it hadn’t lost yet.

"Bubu, keep beating."

"Meow~"

The Jungle Meow quickly put its claws up defensively, signaling to wait a moment. The next second, Bubu Wang bit its head, A Mu grasped Bubu Wang’s hind legs, and they spun rapidly—this was the ’Bum Combination Spinning Top Storm’!

Ten minutes later.

"Ugh~"

The Jungle Meow lay on the ground, its stomach twitching. Nearby, Bubu Wang leaned against the rock wall with its paw, its eyes spinning, seemingly saying: "Submit, will you?"

"What you need to do is simple—go into the rainforest and find rare resources; the rest of the time is yours."

The repeatedly retching Jungle Meow stood up, surprised that Su Xiao only asked it to do this. Originally, it thought Su Xiao wanted to enslave it for battle or send it to its death. Things weren’t as it imagined.

Soon, the restrictions lifted, and the Jungle Meow left the cave, leaping between the trees. Finding resources? Not a chance, it planned to enjoy this newfound freedom.

Two hours later, the Jungle Meow sat on a tree, feeling uneasy for some reason. A premonition told it that continuing its antics would lead to grave consequences. The biggest concern was, without finding rare resources, would it get a beating upon return? That seemed quite unfortunate...

After deliberating, the Jungle Meow decided to temporarily abandon its Meow Star dignity and avoid that impending beating for now.

...

Two days later.

In the swamp of the rainforest.

Su Xiao lay flat on a thick tree trunk. Below him, in the mud, was a giant alligator nearly ten meters long.

This giant alligator’s power attribute had reached the extreme value of This World, which is 99 points of True Strength Attribute. Its physical attributes were also as high as 95 points. Su Xiao’s first target was this Huang Quan Marsh Alligator. He had been squatting nearby for two whole days to find it.
