At 6 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, the quiet urban village gradually became noisy.
Although weekends are legal holidays, most people don't have a choice about work.
When it comes to single days off and full-time work, the hard-working social animals can only grit their teeth and forcefully leave the warm bed.
After staying up all night in front of the screen, Hu Jingkun wandered downstairs to buy breakfast.
"Akun, why did you stay up late playing on the computer again?"
The owner of the breakfast shop at the entrance of the alley saw Hu Jingkun who was yawning profusely, and smiled and said hello.
This breakfast shop owner with an apron around his waist and very simple clothes is actually the owner of the house where Hu Jingkun lives, and the fat landlord is his son.
The boss has a unique style of Laoguang aborigines - hiding in the city.
Although he is a multi-millionaire, he wakes up early every day and opens a breakfast shop in the dark.
Every time after playing games all night on weekends, Hu Jingkun would go downstairs to have something to eat at his boss's place before going back to catch up on his sleep.
After a lot of times, when the boss saw him having breakfast at this point, he knew that he must have been playing games all night again.
"Yeah, let's play for a while."
Hu Jingkun followed the boss's words and responded casually.
Watching the cat girl's adventures in the dark forest can indeed be said to be playing a game.
The fact that he performs miracles and intervenes in another world is just another way for players to change the game.
"You should play computer games less, it's not good for your health...the old rules?"
The owner of the breakfast shop persuaded him earnestly and quickly opened the steaming steamer next to him and asked Hu Jingkun for his opinion.
His shop sells rice rolls. The ingredients are solid and the sauces are authentic. It is much more delicious than those shops with the Yinji brand.
"It's the same old rules, but double...three servings."
Hu Jingkun nodded, thinking that Bai Lu's appetite was a bit large, and raised more than two but less than four fingers.
"Sanfen... got a girlfriend?"
Upon hearing Hu Jingkun's request, the boss who was making rice rolls glanced at him gossiping.
"No, it's just that I've been eating a lot lately."
Hu Jingkun was embarrassed by his enthusiastic boss and waved his hands to deny it.
When the three portions of egg and meat rice rolls were ready, he ran away as if running away, ignoring the kind advice of the uncle behind him who loudly shouted, "Young people should exercise restraint."
"Hey, what's going on..."
After returning home, Hu Jingkun sighed silently.
He put down the packed breakfast, walked to the computer chair, and rubbed Bai Lu's little head.
Normally, as soon as the god reaches out his hand, Bailu will immediately come up and rub his palm, trying to make every cat hair in the cat's ears fully contact his fingers.
But this time, Bai Lu's tail couldn't help shaking after being touched, but her eyes were still staring at the screen, and she didn't turn around to nuzzle the god.
"Bai Lu?"
Hu Jingkun cast his gaze towards the screen with some confusion, and saw several big and small kittens from the rescue team forming a tight formation, looking warily at the surrounding forest.
"Meet a monster again?"
Hu Jingkun frowned, picked up Bai Lu and sat on the chair.
He had never had any idea about the wilderness in the Black Mist World before. It wasn't until he watched the cat girls wandering around in the wild all night last night that he realized that it was not easy for the civets to be able to wander around for so long.
Last night, the rescue team encountered more than a dozen attacks, large and small, all from monsters attracted by the light of the torch.
The frequency of these attacks was so frequent that the rescue team fell into crisis several times, and it was only through the intervention of Hu Jingkun's mechanical deity that they got out of the crisis.
If you extinguish the torch, you won't encounter enemies so frequently.
But in this way, the black mist that fills the black forest will corrode the bodies of the civets and corrupt their souls.
In comparison, the danger of extinguishing the torch was more serious, so Isis and the others could only bite the bullet and walk through the forest holding the torch high.
Along the way, the onlookers Hu Jingkun had an eye-opening experience, seeing many strange creatures from other worlds - shrimp crawlers living in trees, withered and ugly tree men, dwarf goblins like winter melons...
But without exception, they have all been corrupted by the black mist.
Creatures corrupted by the black mist still maintain their previous habits, eating, drinking, and defecating.
——As for whether it will reproduce, Hu Jingkun has not collected relevant information for the time being, so he has not made a conclusion.
These weird, deformed creatures are extremely hostile to normal life, and they want to eat their flesh and blood as soon as they see them.
Because of this, the rescue team that held the torch high and walked through the black forest was targeted by many corrupt creatures and launched endless attacks.
Fortunately, Isis and Hongye are very powerful.
Especially Isis who became a guardian knight.
The magic granted by the gods does not restrict the use of weapons.
Along the way, Isis poked and prodded wildly with two small daggers. The knives were equipped with the Holy Divine Slaying Technique, slashing the monsters in the way until black smoke erupted.
Hu Jingkun thought that this time the rescue team was attacked by a monster again. After sitting down, he carefully looked at the overhead view of the black forest on the screen, but found no sign of the monster.
"Hey, Bai Lu, where's the monster?"
A certain confused god scratched the belly of the stunned little cat girl and asked.
"The cat... I don't know, the cat didn't see clearly... it was very fast, I don't know what it was."
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Lu shook her head in frustration, her cat ears drooping listlessly.
She had been watching so engrossed just now that she wanted to find the monster, but she had not been able to find it.
"Yeah……"
Hearing this, Hu Jingkun frowned.
…
"Cheer up, cats, and be careful of enemy attacks!"
At this time, the rescue team in the black forest was guarding an injured kitten, staring warily at the shadows of the black forest.
Not long ago, when they were marching in a hurry in the dark forest, a kitten farthest away from the torch was suddenly attacked by a monster in the shadows.
Fortunately, the kitten is still alive - the protective clothing given by the gods has average flexibility but good protection.
But even so, the injured kitten was still extremely seriously injured.
There were four bloody wounds on her abdomen. The most serious one was that the cat's claws were cut off and blood was pouring out.
Thanks to the flexible steel wire lining of the protective suit, otherwise the unlucky kitten would not have had its claws broken off, but would have been cut into several sections, and the cat was dead with its tail in the air.
Isis, who was guarding the front of the team, held the dagger tightly, looked at the surrounding environment, and kept praying.
"Lord Cat God, please protect the cats..."
She knew that the injured kitten was in urgent need of treatment, but at this moment, she really didn't dare to turn around and release the healing magic on the kitten.
Although she couldn't see it, she was vaguely aware that the mysterious monster had been lingering in the shadows nearby.
As long as she dares to turn around, the enemy will definitely seize the opportunity to attack.
Although Hongye's combat power is good, his body shape and movements are relatively clumsy, and he may not be able to block the enemy's attacks.
The other four kittens were even worse, with basically no fighting power.
"..."
The injured kitten surrounded in the middle knew that the situation was serious. Even though she was crying in pain and her body was twitching, she still gritted her teeth and kept silent, fearing that the sound would affect the attention of the big cats.
Injury is a very dangerous thing in the world of black mist, because the smell of blood will attract a large number of corrupt monsters hungry for flesh and blood.
Wounded Kitten knows this very well.
She glanced at her companions around her, then gritted her teeth and sat up from the ground, holding half of the cat's paw, which was bleeding constantly, toward the hot torch.
Her idea is simple - as long as the claws are burned, the blood will not flow out, so that more monsters will not be attracted.
Isis heard the sound behind her and glanced behind her through the reflective mirror of the dagger.
When she saw the kitten's behavior, she was a little stunned, but she just gritted her teeth and did not say anything to stop it.
The civet tribe's ability to survive in this dangerous apocalypse depends on this awareness of sacrifice for the race.
Things like this kind of scorched wounds happened more than once or twice.
And any civet, including herself, would behave the same way at this moment.
——Fortunately, the civet tribe now has the protection of the Cat God.
At the critical moment, a warm light shone on the injured kitten's body.
Her broken cat claws quickly regenerated and grew cat hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became as good as new again.
The kitten, who was already aware of the situation, did not immediately realize that its claws had been healed.
She closed her eyes tightly, put the intact cat's paw into the torch, and immediately noticed something strange - why did the cat smell such a burning smell?
…
Hu Jingkun, who had performed a miracle to cure the kitten, tugged at the corner of his mouth speechlessly when he saw the dumbfounded kitten continuing to bake its claws.
Fortunately, the kitten reacted quickly, pulled the burning paw out of the fire, and shook it in a panic.
She couldn't find anything to put out the fire for a while, so she simply opened the cat's mouth wide and stuffed her paws into it.
"hiss……"
Hu Jingkun took a breath and saw the kitten with smoke coming from its mouth, and couldn't help but touch Bai Lu's mouth.
Isn’t this civet tribe a little abnormal?
After rescuing the injured kitten, Hu Jingkun clicked the mouse again and activated a preset miracle.
[Detect hostile targets in the designated area and highlight them] - [Consumption of Faith: 2]
He looked around for a long time, but didn't see any monsters. After thinking about it, he just opened it.
Small opening does not count, perspective hanging and other plug-ins are officially allowed, so don’t play if you feel uncomfortable!
As the miracle takes effect, invisible ripples spread through the black forest, detecting everything along the way.
However, what Hu Jingkun didn't expect was that there were no enemies near the rescue team.
But on the big tree they were leaning against, there was a marked outline - the enemy was actually hiding above the rescue team's head!
The moment he was marked by the miracle, the enemy also knew that he had been discovered and stopped hiding.
The branches of the towering giant tree made an unpleasant snapping sound. From the dense canopy, a humanoid monster shrouded in black mist sprang out like a cannonball and rushed towards the giant cat-shaped red leaves.
Hongye didn't expect that he would receive a palm strike from the sky, and he was not wearing a helmet. Huge wounds were instantly torn out on the back of his neck and back.
"Cat howl!"
Hongye screamed in pain and twisted his body vigorously, trying to throw the enemy off his back.
Her giant cat form has a fatal weakness, that is, her fat cat claws cannot scratch her back.
If the enemy takes advantage of this weakness, she can basically only use tricks like lazy cat rolling to drive away the enemy.
Fortunately, Isis is nearby.
When the monster jumped down from the tree, Isis had already turned around and rushed back.
She was as light as a butterfly, jumped up, and climbed over Hong Ye's head as if she was weightless. The double daggers in her hands lit up with bright light, and she stabbed down suddenly.
【Holy Slash】*2
The enemy hiding on Hongye's back did not expect that Isis would also attack from the sky, and it was already too late when he tried to escape.
The first dagger swung by Isis was dodged, but the other dagger stabbed the enemy's chest accurately, causing a deep chill.
After being hit hard, the monster shrouded in black mist screamed and fell off Hongye's back.
When it was about to land, it flipped over dexterously, landed on all fours, and then jumped hard, disappearing into the shadow of the black forest.
Isis had a chance to pursue the victory.
But after she landed, she just raised the dagger in her hand and stared at the black blood remaining on it, speechless for a long time.
"Cat is crying, the cat is in so much pain, mother, please save the cat!"
The bloody red leaves on his back screamed miserably.
The monster's attack actually only tore her skin open, which looked scary to the cat, but actually did little harm.
"The Cat God is above, the cats are moved, the cats are loyal!"
"Aww, the big cat is fat, the big cat is strong, the big cat is fat and strong!"
"The cat is going to be the cat of Isis the Great Cat!"
…
Seeing the Lord God rescuing the injured kitten, and the big cat Isis defeating the enemy easily, the five kittens immediately cheered excitedly, acting as an atmosphere group, twisting and dancing happily.
After Isis came back to her senses, she raised her hand and slapped Hongye with a healing spell, and then said with a serious face.
"Hongye, look at the kitten, the cat is chasing the enemy!"
After saying that, Isis didn't care what Hongye's reaction was, and rushed into the darkness.
After she was far away from the rescue team, she knelt down on the soft leaves with a thump, holding her chest with an extremely painful expression.
The monster's body was surrounded by thick black mist, and neither Kitty nor Hongye could see its face clearly. Only Isis got a glimpse of its face under the black mist when she stabbed the enemy in a head-on confrontation.
——The monster is Kikyo.
There is no doubt that the rescue operation failed.
Kikyo, corrupted by the black mist, has fallen into madness, viewing her own people as enemies, and even almost killed a kitten.
At this point, Isis knew that Kikyo would never come back.
She didn't dare to let the other cats in the rescue team notice this, so she could only run into the dark forest alone and suffer the pain silently.
After a long time, Isis finally adjusted back from her sadness.
She pulled out the dagger, wiped away the dried black blood, and looked up at the sky with tenacious eyes.
"Lord God, the cat wants to help Kikyo escape, please allow the cat to do so!"
The corrupted civet must not live!
Those weak underage civet cats could not escape the attack of the corrupted civet cat. Even a fat cat with strong combat power such as Hong Ye was once injured by a sneak attack.
So even though Isis was extremely reluctant, she still made the right choice - to let Platycodon finally rest in peace!
