Chapter 81

"Is that... a cat cart?"

A simple wooden flatbed cart, pushed by two Ailu cats, looked almost exactly like the "cat cart" that Wenlong had seen in the game.

In the past, when a player's hunter character was accidentally knocked down by a monster, they would be sent back to the hunting camp by such a "cat cart." If a hunter was knocked down three times in one hunt, meaning they were sent back by the "cat cart" three times, the mission would fail!

"Ah, how nostalgic, meow!"

Seeing such a "cat cart," Wenlong couldn't help but think back to when he first started playing the game. Back then, he was just a novice hunter with poor skills, so he was often beaten by monsters and frequently enjoyed the "cat cart" treatment.

However, as Wenlong's skills gradually improved, he rarely rode in the cat cart anymore. Later on, when Wenlong could hunt various powerful ancient dragons without taking any damage, the cat cart became completely irrelevant to him.

"Speaking of which, when was the last time I rode in a cat cart? It's been about two years... But since I've been transported to this world, I really want to experience what it's like to ride in a cat cart, meow."

Suddenly nostalgic for the cat cart, Wenlong rushed to the front of the cart and blocked their path.

"Stop, stop, stop, where are you pushing the cart to, meow?" Wenlong asked.

The two Ailu cats pushing the cart had gray and white spots and looked very similar, probably twins. Seeing Wenlong blocking their way, they stopped.

Ailu Cat A said, "We are the Spotted Brothers of the Hunter's Guild Ailu Cat Rescue Team. I am the older brother, Big Gray, meow."

Ailu Cat B said, "We are the Spotted Brothers of the Hunter's Guild Ailu Cat Rescue Team. I am the younger brother, Little Gray, meow."

Then the two Ailu cats said together, "We are now going to rescue an Ailu cat who is fighting a powerful monster called the Star Dragon. We heard that this brave Ailu cat not only saved a two-star high-ranking hunter but also faced the Star Dragon alone. Such bravery is truly a model for our kind, meow!"

"Is... is that so..." Wenlong scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

"But the Star Dragon is really too powerful, meow," Big Gray added.

"Yes, the Star Dragon is too powerful, meow," Little Gray also said.

Then Big Gray and Little Gray said together, "So now the hero might be seriously injured, and we must rescue our hero from the powerful Star Dragon, meow!"

"Well, it was just a minor injury, hahaha..." Wenlong thought about how he had been blown around by the Star Butterfly and indeed suffered quite a bit of damage. Fortunately, he had brought Recovery Medicine G, which allowed him to recover quickly.

However, Big Gray and Little Gray didn't seem to hear Wenlong and continued, "But we've been searching for a long time and haven't seen the hero. The situation has become very dire. The hero might have already died under the claws of the Star Dragon. Although it's sad, we must still bring his body back. We cannot let the hero's body be exposed in the wilderness, meow!"

"Meow, what nonsense, exposing the body in the wilderness, my sister!" As Wenlong listened, he felt more and more that something was wrong and finally used the move "Smear Your Bear Face" to harshly teach Big Gray and Little Gray a lesson.

Big Gray: "Why did you hit us, meow?"

Little Gray: "Yeah, why did you hit us, meow?"

"Meow, what nonsense, cursing someone to death?" Wenlong said angrily, "How could a mere Star Dragon kill me, meow!"

"Come to think of it, could you be the hero we're looking for, meow?" Big Gray suddenly realized.

"Come to think of it, are you really the hero we're looking for, meow?" Little Gray also realized.

Then Big Gray and Little Gray said together, "But why haven't we seen the legendary Star Dragon, meow?"

"Hmph, of course, the Star Dragon was afraid of me, so I chased it away! Meow!" Seeing that these two Ailu cats didn't seem very smart, Wenlong didn't hesitate to boast.

"Chase away the Star Dragon? That's really unbelievable, meow!" Big Gray said.

"Yes, chasing away the Star Dragon is really unbelievable, meow!" Little Gray said.

Then they said together, "But do you have any evidence that you chased away the Star Dragon, meow?"

"Hmph, these two Ailu cats aren't completely stupid, to doubt me..." Wenlong thought, "But I've already thought about how to deal with this."

So Wenlong took out the scale he had pried from the Star Dragon and placed it in front of Big Gray and Little Gray.

"See? This is the evidence! If the Star Dragon hadn't run so fast today, I would have taken more than just this small scale. I would have skinned it, meow!"

When the orange-red, glass-like scale of the Star Dragon appeared in front of Big Gray and Little Gray, the two Ailu cats were so surprised they couldn't speak, staring at the scale for over a minute.

After a while, Big Gray and Little Gray finally came to their senses.

"This shining luster, it's indeed a scale I've never seen before, meow."

"This brilliant luster, it can only be the scale of the Star Dragon, meow."

Then they said together, "To be able to peel a scale from the Star Dragon, you must truly be the hero we admire, meow!"

At that moment, Wenlong could clearly feel that Big Gray and Little Gray were now deeply respectful of him, almost wanting to kneel before him.

"Hmph, of course, with my handsome and dashing appearance, I am naturally a hero, hahaha!"

Wenlong didn't hide his satisfaction and then asked, "Oh, right, did you encounter a woman with silver-white hair, carrying a large sword, with a great figure and a big chest when you came up the mountain?"

"Hero, you mean Miss Catherine? We met Miss Catherine on the way, carrying Mr. Claude, meow!" Big Gray answered with great respect.

"Miss Catherine is now with Miss Lendis. It was Miss Catherine who told us about your deeds, so we came to find you, meow!" Little Gray also answered with great respect.

"That woman is carrying Claude, that guy, is she a gorilla... Never mind, I shouldn't pay attention to such details..." Wenlong thought.
