Chapter 11

Wen Long squinted his eyes and scanned the hunter standing beside White Fur, noticing that this person was a young man around twenty years old, fully equipped with a set of large monster bird armor, and carrying a large red monster bird sword on his back. It seemed that after hunting the large monster bird previously, this hunter had hunted several more with White Fur, completing a full set of large monster bird equipment from weapons to armor.

Undoubtedly, this hunter dressed in the large monster bird suit was the hunting partner White Fur had been boasting about.

"But to already be a two-star hunter at around twenty years old, it's no wonder White Fur is so arrogant with such a talented hunter as his partner..."

Seeing White Fur appear, Wen Long couldn't help but frown. For Wen Long, it was not a good time to run into White Fur.

Compared to White Fur, who found a two-star hunter as his partner from the start, Wen Long's initial partner was a complete novice. Just this fact made Wen Long feel that he had already lost to White Fur. Moreover, the thought of the phrase "Look at White Fur next door..." which he had heard so many times, made Wen Long feel a headache.

"Damn it! I absolutely cannot let them see through Catherine's strength! If White Fur finds out that the partner I struggled to choose is just a novice, I'll be laughed at by that guy. If even Mother Cat finds out, I'll have one more thing to be nagged about... For my future life in this world, I cannot, absolutely cannot, let this happen..."

"Fortunately, Catherine is wearing the Kirin suit. In the entire West Shuraid Kingdom, even in a big city like Meijeboltan, there might not be many people who recognize this suit, let alone in a remote village like Mirado... In that case, as long as Catherine doesn't reveal that she is a novice, White Fur and his group won't be able to see through her true strength... I can use this to give White Fur a taste of his own medicine, damn it..."

Sure enough, as Wen Long was thinking of a strategy, White Fur and his partner also focused their attention on Catherine, who was behind Wen Long. Clearly, both the human and the cat were trying to gauge Catherine's strength from her equipment, but after a while, they seemed to realize they had never seen equipment like the Kirin suit.

"Is this tiger-striped Elgar cat also from your village? The woman behind him should be his owner, right? But... just from the equipment on this woman, it's hard to tell her strength. I've never seen such a style of armor... It seems completely different from the style in our West Shuraid Kingdom..."

The young hunter standing beside Wen Long scanned Catherine with a keen gaze and said to White Fur.

"Master, the Elgar cat blocking our way is Wen Long, who has lived next door to me since childhood. This is his first hunt today, and his strength is negligible, damn it... As for the woman beside him, although she is wearing equipment we've never seen before, but..."

At this point, White Fur paused and confirmed the four large wild boar corpses on the ground before continuing, "But from the four large wild boar corpses on the ground, this woman's strength is also just so-so."

"That's true. Even if she hunts four large wild boars at once, it's still far from hunting a large monster bird. We are already quite skilled at hunting large monster birds, and we are definitely stronger than them..." The man in the large monster bird suit nodded in agreement with White Fur.

"That's right, Master, we are the strongest hunting duo in Mirado Village! Damn it!"

"Ha ha, White Fur, you're right. But that woman, although her strength is lacking, she is quite pretty. Calling her to my manor tonight could be fun..."

"Master, you are wise and brave, you will surely win the heart of the girl! Damn it!"

White Fur and his master's voices were not loud, but Wen Long heard every word clearly. In contrast, Catherine was completely confused and didn't understand what the two were talking about.

"Turns out cats have much better hearing than humans." The comparison made Wen Long more acutely aware of the improvement in his hearing after becoming an Elgar cat.

At this moment, Wen Long noticed that White Fur and his master were approaching Catherine, especially White Fur's master, who had a lecherous smile on his face when he saw a beautiful woman.

"Damn it, if they stay far away, they might not see this woman's strength, but if they get closer and chat a bit, they might see through it. I have to act quickly... damn it!"

Seeing White Fur and his master approach, Wen Long jumped onto Catherine's back and climbed up to her shoulder.

"Listen carefully, woman! The man and the cat coming over are bad people. Follow my instructions, and I'll make sure you're safe." Wen Long whispered in Catherine's ear.

"Eh? Do you know them, Mr. Cat? Their smiles seem quite friendly..." Catherine was taken aback and said.

Wen Long was amazed that Catherine could mistake a man's lecherous smile for a friendly one. This further confirmed to him that this woman had little social experience.

"Women with no social experience are the easiest to deceive!" Wen Long thought.

"Where's the friendliness? They have ulterior motives, understand? That white Elgar cat used to be from my village, and he was a swindler, always deceiving innocent girls with his cuteness... And the man with him is a pervert and a lecher, often peeping at women while they bathe... In short, just follow my instructions, or... I don't know what bad things they might do to you... damn it!" To achieve his goal, Wen Long didn't hesitate to start lying.

"Eh, really? Then... Mr. Cat, I'll follow your instructions." Scared by Wen Long's words, Catherine was shocked and became nervous at the thought of what might happen to her.

"Good, very good. To avoid them seeing me talk, I will write on your back with my tail. Follow my instructions, and I'll make sure you get through this." Wen Long said.

As White Fur and his partner got closer, Wen Long knew that direct conversation could easily expose him, so he decided to write on Catherine's back with his tail to communicate.

Wen Long believed that with a little guidance, he could help Catherine get through this without revealing anything.

"First, take a deep breath, stay calm, and don't panic..."

"Okay, Mr. Cat..."

Following Wen Long's instructions, Catherine took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, feeling more relaxed.

Wen Long knew that panic was the worst thing at this moment. Both humans and Elgar cats are highly intelligent beings, and any wrong expression could easily be exposed.

Moreover, to become an excellent hunter, maintaining composure in critical moments is an essential quality. Otherwise, it would be hard to survive the dangerous hunting path.

"I have to start cultivating this woman to become an excellent hunter, at least to the point where she won't embarrass me... damn it!"
