Chapter 729 – The Cat’s Retribution
Chapter 729 The Cat’s Retribution
The orange cat, Kate, ran wildly across the ground on four legs, just like a real cat.
He meowed mournfully, tears rolling down the fur on his face.
“I hate ghosts! I hate ghosts!”
The orange cat who had had one particular experience with ghosts and monsters did his best to hide from the shadows behind him.
If he was still using his original strong man’s body, there was still a possibility that he could hold back his fear, but now the cat’s instincts forced him to be completely overwhelmed by the fear that was growing inside him, and to think only of escaping from this place as quickly as possible.
It was getting dimmer and dimmer all around.
He overtook streetlight after streetlight, but he still couldn’t run out of the neighborhood.
The curved moon overhead seemed to show him the way, or to mock him for his cowardice.
“What the hell is this place? Why can’t I run out!”
“The intelligence is wrong, the intelligence is wrong, such a terrible place is definitely not a space that a second-order sorcerer’s alienation can create.”
At this time Kate was incomparably regretting agreeing to Whitebeard’s request to come here together to look for a way to push open the door inside.
Even if he couldn’t become a powerful third-order sorcerer, he could still be a free second-order sorcerer!
Even if he couldn’t turn back into a human again, he could still be a living cat ah!
“I may not be able to escape this way, I have to find some other place where I can get out. Anomalies, anomalies, the most anomalous place could be an exit from here.”
Kate stared into her cat’s eyes, her pupils having dilated to the size of her eyes.
With the cat’s dark vision bonus, he looked to the left and right.
Ahead of him was a road that ran on forever, and behind him were dark shadows that couldn’t be shaken off.
Cat considered that perhaps he could enter the houses on either side.
But when he finally managed to get a clear view of his surroundings, he was horrified to realize that the buildings around him hadn’t changed at all after he’d been running for so long.
But when he had first observed it, the buildings on either side of the road had been of different heights and staggered.
There wasn’t exactly the same, repetitive streetscape.
But now, he realized that he had been running for so long that it seemed as if he hadn’t taken a step at all.
He remembered a strangely shaped building a dozen meters ahead of him on his left hand side, and now the building was a dozen meters ahead of him on his left hand side.
It was exactly the same location as before Kate had escaped!
“Could it be that the road here is going backwards? Or has something gone wrong with my sanity?”
“Then the ghost behind me ……”
Kate’s four cat paws were immediately pinned in place, and his entire body exploded with cat hair all of a sudden, making his entire cat look like a spiky ball!
He wanted to turn around to see if there were any more ghosts behind him, but he didn’t dare to move or turn around.
Because he was afraid that if he turned back, the terrifying ghostly figure that had just been posted behind him!
But if he didn’t look, if he didn’t turn around, if he wasn’t sure, this fear would stick to his back like a dog’s skin plaster, and he would never be able to shake it off!
Kate had no choice but to put up his cat ears and try to hear the movement behind him first.
He heard a gust of wind.
Huffing and puffing ……
It was as if a huge cloak was being blown by the wind.
And the sound was getting closer and closer and closer, and it was about to come behind him and brush the hairs on his back.
“Meow!”
Kate shivered, not daring to look back any more, and knowing that he couldn’t run forward, he smothered his head and chose a random direction and ran into the buildings on either side of him.
Just two steps into the run, he suddenly realized that he was not landing on his feet.
After inertially stomping his legs in the air for a few times, he realized that he was actually being carried to a place more than a meter high in the air.
“Found you, Wizard Kate.”
Was that the new one? Kate immediately turned around excitedly.
But as he turned around and saw the person carrying the back of his neck, he was so scared that his cat face twisted!
The guy …… who was pulling him, and whose mouth was still emitting the voice of a black bladed sorcerer, was actually a skeleton!
This skeleton in front of him was black, without a trace of flesh on his body.
The empty eye sockets in the skull seemed to have gray flames burning.
Only his left hand that did not grab Kate was white, and outside it was wrapped in a layer of transparent skin-like medium.
“Meow… oooh…”
The orange cat yowled more and more miserably, its limbs stomping desperately in an effort to get out of the black skeleton’s palm.
But the struggling orange cat Kate did not realize that what was truly terrifying was not the black skeleton skeleton in front of him, but the translucent tentacles sticking out from underneath his mage robe.
Most of those tentacles reached behind Saul, wrapping around every streetlight he passed.
Only two of the tentacles seemed to reach forward in curiosity and scrape the small pads of flesh that Kate had stretched out in front of her.
Looking at the panicked to the point of collapse orange cat in front of him, Saul was a little puzzled.
The other party was, after all, also a second-ranked sorcerer – even though he had turned into a cat – but he wasn’t so scared at the sight of a skeleton, was he?
Seeing that the other party was about to collapse and alienate in fear, and that his mental body was becoming more and more unstable, Saul had to retract most of his tentacles, and his face grew back into flesh and blood, restoring his appearance.
“Witch Kate, if you can’t calm down again, I can help you.”
Saul said, and an extra piece of black sharp blade appeared on the fingertips of his left hand.
“A black blade …… wizard?” The orange cat was forced to turn back once again, and finally gradually calmed down after seeing Saul’s appearance.
Of course, what really made him confirm Saul’s identity was the spiritual power that escaped when Saul released his sorcery.
Cat’s current state was unusually sensitive to spiritual energy.
Seeing the orange cat in his hand finally stop struggling, Saul put Kate back on the ground.
“Wizard Kate, a word of advice, solve the problem of being trapped in cat form as soon as possible, or your mental body will collapse sooner or later.”
Kate didn’t respond to Sol’s advice, and even secretly glanced at Sol after being placed on the ground, muttering, “Didn’t turn into a black shadow, didn’t turn into a black shadow.”
Saul knew that Kate was afraid that she had encountered certain people and things here in the Inverted Tree, and they all ended up turning into gray people.
It scared the cat enough.
“Wizard Kate, I have to say, this place really restrained you.”
Kate originally wanted to mouth off, but when he thought that his performance just now was all seen by Saul, he could only nod his head listlessly.
“Yes, my nerves in this state are very sensitive, and this place has the special effect of mobilizing fear in one’s heart, so I ……”
After all, he didn’t have the heart to say words like “too scared”.
“But to put it another way, this characteristic of yours is not bad.”
Where was it good!
The orange cat Kate almost meowed again to express her indignation.
Thor clasped his hands to his chest and looked around at the tall buildings.
These tall buildings looked like three-dimensional buildings, but after staring at them for a long time, there was a vague feeling that it was all drawn on paper.
Saul looked afresh at Kate, the orange cat who was clearly not too happy, and laughed warmly, “Of course it’s a property for gathering monsters.”
Kate stiffened and almost screamed out another meow.
“You… what are you going to do?”
“I saved you, you should be grateful, right? Cat’s payback, ever heard of it?”
