Ch121 - The Stealth Cat

Edited by Zaki

After taking away everything from the study, Liu Mufeng felt that the Earth Spirit Insects were making a ruckus within the bracelet dimension. They were clamoring to come out and eat. Hearing them make a din, Liu Mufeng immediately realized that there must be another array formation in this study.

“Mufeng, let’s go to the next room.” Because there were still six cultivators fighting for the various opportunities in this place, Jiang Xu seemed a little anxious to keep looking for more.

“There is no hurry,XiaoXu closed the door and set up the barrier.” After speaking thus, Liu Mufeng followed the guidance of the Earth Spirit Insects and came to the East wall.

“Oh!” After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Xu nodded immediately and did as his partner said.

Seeing that his lover had set up a barrier, Liu Mufeng immediately released the Earth Spirit Insects. As soon as the more than 20,000 Earth Spirit Insects were released, they all rushed to the East wall and began to gnaw at something wildly.

“Have they found the formation?” Seeing the Earth Spirit Insects gnawing against the air, Jiang Xu knew that the little insects were definitely not nibbling the air, but something unseen and untouchable like a formation, an enchantment, or a barrier. However, nothing would remain hidden in front of the Earth Spirit Insects. Actual fact about their gnawing was that, when they nibbled on the formations and enchantments, they actually were absorbing the spiritual energy of the formations and enchantments. So it was not really nibbling in the real sense, because the spiritual energy was absorbed from the formations, enchantments or barriers, etc, these things lost their effectiveness and were destroyed.

“En, the insects are saying that there is an enchantment that is very delicious.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng passed on the original words of the Earth Spirit Insects to his lover.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu was happy. “Enchantment? So that means there is something hidden in the study?”

“It’s possible.” Liu Mufeng also felt that the study room might not be as simple as they had initially thought.

After more than 20,000 Earth Spirit Insects gnawed on the enchantment for almost half an hour, Liu Mufeng heard a crisp sound like glass shattering. As they looked over, they saw the wall in front of them disappear and there was another room that had appeared.

“Mufeng, there is another room.” Looking at the small room inside, Jiang Xu rejoiced.

“En.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng looked at the extra small room inside. This small room was very simple. There was only a table and a black wooden box in the room. The table was made from the most commonNanmuwood and was covered in a layer of thick dust. One could see that it had not been cleaned for many years. However, the black wooden box on the table was very strange, because there were no seams and no locks on the wooden box, like it had been created without an opening, like a gourd knotted on a tree. There was no seam, there was no lid, and it couldn’t be opened. What’s even weirder was that there was no dust on the box.

“Mufeng, that box looks good, it should be a treasure.” Jiang Xu was about to step forward, but Liu Mufeng dragged him back.

“Don’t go there. There is a barrier set over there, let the Earth Spirit Insects go and resolve it first.” Liu Mufeng waved, and more than 20,000 Earth Spirit Insects flew over in a mighty manner.

The Earth Spirit Insects gnawed on it for another half an hour before the barrier was finally lifted. Liu Mufeng asked the Earth Spirit Insects to bring the box over, but the twenty or so Earth Spirit Insects that went to drag the box from the table were killed by an invisible force.

“It’s not a barrier, it’s a demon beast, a demon beast that can turn invisible.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng frowned.

“A demon beast that can turn invisible? There, there are such demon beasts?” Hearing this news, Jiang Xu was very surprised.

“Yes, I once read in a book that there were three kinds of demon beasts that could turn invisible, this should be one of the three.” Having said that, Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes.

“Then, do you know what kind of demon beast this is?” Looking at his partner, Jiang Xu asked again.

“It doesn’t look very big, it should be a Stealth Cat.” Looking at the Fire Spirit Insects’ attack range, it could be determined that this was a cat.

“Stealth Cat. It’s very interesting to hear that name.” Jiang Xu smiled and said.

“En,it is indeed a very interesting demon beast.” After speaking so much, Liu Mufeng took out five darts and shot them directly towards the centre of the area besieged by the Fire Spirit Insects.

“Meow…” With a howl, a black kitten revealed its original shape.

Looking at the burnt black hair, with bald patches everywhere, and three darts hanging from its body, Jiang Xu couldn’t hold back his laughter. As a result, he was immediately met with a malicious stare from the black cat.

Seeing the black cat glare at him angrily with its fur raised just like a child’s puffed-up face in anger, Jiang Xu felt even more amused.

Liu Mufeng waved his hand, and the Fire Spirit Insects returned behind him. The Stealth Sat, however, was already lying disheveled on the ground, glaring at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu in exasperation, a howl of dissatisfaction coming out of its mouth.

“XiaoXu, go over and form a contract with it; it is a fourth-level demon beast, and its appearance is not bad.” Looking at his partner, Liu Mufeng said.

“It’s better for you to form a contract with it. Your combat power is not as good as mine, it’s better for you to have a few more demon beasts.” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu felt that it was enough to have a sword, but Mufeng was different. Mufeng was an alchemist, and his combat power was not as strong as his own and hence Mufeng having more demon beasts was better.

“No, my combat power is not good. For my level of combat power, I should make a contract with demon beasts that have more firepower. Stealth Cat is not suitable for me.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng felt that this Stealth Cat was more suitable for his partner. Because his partner’s personal strength was already high, and then contracting the Stealth Cat would give him added power. However, his own combat power was inherently weak. Even if he formed a contract with the Stealth Cat, he could use the Stealth Cat to only become invisible, what good would that do? Therefore, Liu Mufeng felt that ifXiaoXu should form a contract with demon beasts, it would be best to make a contract with a demon beast with a high bloodline and fierce fighting power.

“En, okay.” Seeing that his partner didn’t want the cat, Jiang Xu walked up to the cat with a smile and formed a contract with the Stealth Cat.

The contracting process was beyond Jiang Xu’s imagination and went very smoothly.

“Meow meow…”Give me the antidote, I can’t move.

Hearing the words of the Stealth Cat, Jiang Xu turned to look at his lover. “Mufeng, is your dart poisonous?”

“It’s not poisonous, it’s just a paralyzing fluid. It’ll be fine in an hour.” Since he planned to make his wife contract with the beast, how could Liu Mufeng use poison darts?

“Oh, okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu walked over and picked up the Stealth Cat from the ground.

This cat was not big, and the fur all over the body was black. There was a handful of white hair at the center of its brows, and that white hair was just in the shape of a crescent moon. Therefore, the Stealth Cat had another name, Crescent Moon Cat.

“FollowXiaoXu well, I won’t treat you badly.” Glancing at the Stealth Cat, Liu Mufeng took out a lively spiritual fish and shook it in front of the Stealth Cat.

Seeing the spiritual fish, the Stealth Cat’s eyes brightened immediately. It had been trapped in this place for tens of thousands of years. Not to mention fish, it didn’t even have a blade of grass to eat.

“You can’t move now, you can eat when you can move again.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took the fish away.

“You bastard, bastard!” Seeing that the fish was gone, the Stealth Cat cursed in anger.

Looking at the puffed-up Stealth Cat, even Liu Mufeng couldn’t understand what it was saying, he could guess that it was definitely nothing pleasant.

“Okay, you can eat it later, Mufeng is my Dao Companion, you are not allowed to scold him, if you scold him, we will not give you fish in the future. There are also medicinal pills. If you make Mufeng unhappy, then you won’t get any medicinal pills as well.”

“Hmph, if I don’t eat, then I don’t eat. Who cares?”

“Okay, I have noted what you have said. I’ll let you watch while we eat fish.” Jiang Xu said nonchalantly, looking at the Stealth Cat in his arms.

Hearing this, the Stealth Cat was dumbfounded, and thought to itself:My owner is too much. He would actually abuse such a cute cat for the sake of his man.

Looking at the cat who had wilted as soon as he said he would not give the fish, Jiang Xu laughed. “I see that you have a crescent on your head, you will be called Xiaoyue.”

“Oh!” Glancing at its owner, the Stealth Cat sullenly responded.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Mufeng took the black box.

“Meow meow…”That’s my master’s!

“I’m your master now.” Looking at the Stealth Cat, Jiang Xu said righteously.

Hearing this, Stealth Cat was very depressed. However, nothing could be said. It could only be said that it was bad luck that it had met such two dog men.

“What’s inside this?” Looking at the cat, Liu Mufeng asked suspiciously.

“I don’t know what it is. All I know is that it’s a treasured object, a very powerful treasured object.”

“It said it was a very powerful treasure, but doesn’t know exactly what it is.” Looking at his lover, Jiang Xu immediately translated.

“Oh!” Nodding, Liu Mufeng didn’t look into it and directly put the black box into his storage ring. “XiaoXu, put the Stealth Cat in the animal bag, and open the barrier you had put up earlier. If we take a long time here, others will be suspicious.” Saying thus, Liu Mufeng performed a dust cleaning technique to clean the dust on the table and wiped off the marks left by the black box on the table.

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu immediately did as he was told.

After opening the barrier, the two carefully searched the room three times to make sure that there was nothing else they had missed, then they left the study and continued to search for other rooms.

Maybe it was because they spent all their luck after contracting the Stealth Cat, so Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu found nothing afterward, nothing at all. After searching for more than a dozen side halls, they found nothing.

When Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu returned to the yard, they found that all the Blue Moon Fruit trees and all the Blue Moon Fruits in the courtyard had disappeared. Rose and Peony had also disappeared.

Then they went to the backyard to look for some, and found that every room was empty, not only were there no more opportunities, even Wang Yan’s group of four people had long since disappeared.
