Everything happened so fast that Mu You didn't even have time to take out his pocket watch before he felt like his head was wrapped in a ferocious mouth.
At this moment, Mu You himself felt a little desperate. However, the pain he imagined when his head was bitten through did not come. Instead, the vicious monster figure penetrated his body like a mold.
"Um?"
Mu You didn't realize what happened for a moment. Then he suddenly felt a flash of light and shadow in front of him, and something seemed to be rushing towards him.
He only had time to raise his hand, and then something soft and furry hit his chest.
When he backed up just now, half of his body had already stuck out of the guardrail, but now he was hit like this again, completely losing his balance and falling from the guardrail.
"This is the third floor..."
Feeling his body falling rapidly, Mu You hurriedly put his hand into his pocket and pressed the pocket watch in his pocket.
The next moment, time flows and returns to five seconds ago.
Mu You returned to the stairs on the third floor and was squatting on the ground, reaching out to feel the breath of the unconscious young man on the ground.
After coming back to his senses, Mu You immediately rolled over and hid in the shadow next to the stairs.
Leaning against the wall, Mu You breathed out. He knew that the creature was hiding behind the corner not far away, waiting to ambush him.
This creature is very smart. It must have realized that Mu You was the strongest among several humans, so it deliberately used the young man's cry to attract him, and then hid in the corner to sneak up on him.
However, the last attack method used by this creature was to bump him downstairs, trying to throw him to death...
In other words, this creature is not actually very powerful in attack, at least it cannot give Mu You a fatal blow in a short time, so it can only use this stupid method.
As for the ferocious monster just now... that thing obviously has no entity. It should be just an illusion or something, purely used to cover up the real body of the creature.
After thinking about all this, Mu You did not rush to find the creature head-on, but quietly went downstairs, passed the corridor on the second floor, and went around to the stairs on the other side of the building.
From the stairs here to the third floor, Mu You squatted at the corner of the stairs, took out his wand, and softly released a trap spell on the ground.
Then Mu You went up to the fourth floor and returned to the stairs on the other side through the corridor on the fourth floor.
This building is an 'L' shaped building when viewed from above, with a small section of the edge of the building turning outwards.
Mu You squatted under the guardrail of the corner corridor on the fourth floor, quietly revealed a pair of eyes, and looked down.
From his position, he could just see the entire staircase on the third floor below.
The stairs below were so dark that it was almost impossible to see, but Mu You still relied on his enhanced vision to vaguely see the outline of an animal in the darkness.
That's a cat!
Quietly lurking in the darkness in the corner, its tail droops, its body is slightly bowed, its hind legs are staggered, and one front paw is raised, as if squatting to guard its prey.
Unfortunately, the prey it was squatting on did not appear for a long time, so it lost its patience a little, its tail swung wildly, and it was obviously getting restless.
Mu You gently took out the mithril bow, pulled out the bow string, tied an anesthesia needle on the condensed arrow, and then pointed the direction of the bow towards the cat below.
call out!
The moment the arrow was shot, the cat below seemed to sense it. It glanced upwards and jumped back as a reflex, narrowly dodging the incoming arrow.
"pity!"
Mu You didn't have time to sigh. When he saw that he had missed the hit, he immediately stood up and stepped on the railing beam, jumping down to the third floor corridor below.
"Roar!"
After the cat discovered Mu You, it quickly transformed back into the ferocious monster it had been before. It roared and rushed towards him, and also jumped out of the railing, as if it wanted to knock Mu You directly out of the air.
But this time Mu You wouldn't fall for it again. Seeing the monster crashing into him, his movements didn't change at all.
Sure enough, the monster passed right through him without causing any hindrance to him.
Mu You successfully stepped onto the guardrail on the third floor, then jumped lightly into the corridor and landed smoothly.
"Meow!"
The cat seemed to be waiting for this opportunity. As soon as Mu You landed, it launched an attack from the darkness beside him, waving its claws and biting his neck.
Mu You rolled on the spot and avoided its attack. The cat's claws caught on the stab-proof suit, but it did not cause any damage. At the same time, Mu You quickly reached out with one hand and took the opportunity to grab the back of the cat's neck, preparing to subdue it directly.
As a result, the cat was unexpectedly agile. It howled miserably and rolled around in the air, breaking away from Mu You's hand. After landing, it did not dare to fight Mu You again, but jumped into the shadow of the corridor. , escaped in a flash.
Mu You chased after him, raising his bow and firing a cold arrow from time to time, but the cat dodged them one by one with its coquettish S-shaped movement.
Of course, this was also the result of Mu You's deliberate release. His purpose was not to harm the cat, but to constantly exert a sense of urgency on it to make it ignore the trap ahead.
The two of them chased each other and quickly passed through the entire corridor on the third floor.
Just when the cat rounded the corner of the stairs in front, he was about to escape downstairs.
"Snapped!"
The sound of the trap closing was heard, followed by a frantic scratching and howling sound.
Mu You ran over and took a look. The wooden carved cage was shaking crazily on the ground, but no matter how hard the cat inside struggled, it could not break out.
As he got closer, Mu You could see clearly that the cat in the cage was actually a thin, slender and short-haired cat!
With well-proportioned tiger stripes, brass eyes, and an M pattern on his forehead, his bloodline is quite pure. He grinned at Mu You, looking like an angry little tiger.
"Meow...roar...hiss..."
It was obvious that this beautiful shorthair was very excited now. While it was beating the cage crazily, it was still puffing and puffing, threatening Mu You not to come near.
"Wait, don't be afraid. I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm the watchman who talked to you that day. I'm here to save you..."
Mu You reached out to cover his eyes, looked away, and spoke in the poor Star Spirit language he had prepared in advance.
During the fight just now, he had vaguely discovered that the cat's illusion ability seemed to be activated only when others were staring at it. In other words, as long as his perspective was not in front of the cat, the other party's illusion ability would not be activated. kick in.
"Meow meow?"
The shorthair cat was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stopped struggling and let out two meows.
However, when the sound reached Mu You's ears, it was no longer a meow, but words he could understand.
"Meow? Watcher? Nonsense, you are obviously a fool! You despicable foreigner... but you can actually speak the language of the stars? Who are you?"
"Um?"
Mu You was even more shocked than Mei Dan: "Can you still speak Chinese?"
"What are you talking about? I don't know any Chinese. This is consciousness communication. All domestic familiars must undergo consciousness communication training before being sold. Once you learn it, you can directly communicate with other creatures in your consciousness." The short-haired girl meowed twice more.
