Chapter 82

"Hey, by the way, there's one more thing," Wenlong said, "What about that kid named Claude? Since you saw him, you should know his condition, right? Meow?"

"Mr. Claude was seriously injured, so we took him down the mountain in our cart, meow."

"But he's not in danger, so with enough rest, he should be fine, meow."

"I see," Wenlong thought, "It's good that the kid didn't die, otherwise my money would be down the drain..."

"Alright then, I'm heading down the mountain too, but I'm tired after the big battle with Xinglong. Can I ride in your cat cart on the way back? Meow?"

"Of course, Hero, meow!" Dahu said.

"It's an honor, Hero, meow!" Xiaohui said.

Then they said together, "Our cat cart is always ready for you! Meow!"

After all, Wenlong had long wanted to experience a real-world cat cart, so when he heard they agreed, he didn't hesitate to get on.

"Alright, let's go! Meow!" Wenlong ordered, and Dahu and Xiaohui started pushing the cart with all their might.

At first, the cat cart wasn't very fast, but as Dahu and Xiaohui continued to push, the speed gradually increased.

"Oh, this is pretty good, it feels like we're flying, meow!"

Since the path down the mountain was downhill after the hunt, the cat cart quickly picked up speed, making Wenlong feel like he was in a high-speed chase, or even a thrilling ride down the mountain.

"Dahu, Xiaohui, go faster! This is fun, and the best part is I don't have to do any work, meow!"

"As you wish, Hero! Meow!"

Hearing Wenlong's command, Dahu and Xiaohui pushed the cat cart even harder. On the bumpy mountain road, the cat cart started to gallop like a wild horse!

Finally, when they passed a section with loose rocks, the cat cart completely lost control.

Because of the high speed and the uneven road, the entire cart began to shake violently, and Dahu and Xiaohui, who were pushing the cart from behind, couldn't hold on to the back of the cart and were thrown off.

"Ah, no!" Dahu and Xiaohui shouted at the same time.

The next section of the road was a very steep slope, the steepest part of the entire route. By the time Wenlong realized the cart was out of control, it was already speeding down the slope, completely out of control.

"Huh, I told you to go faster, but this is too fast... At this speed, if we hit something, we might get hurt... Hey, Dahu, Xiaohui, what are you doing..."

At that moment, Wenlong realized the cart was out of control. Looking back, he saw that Dahu and Xiaohui were no longer controlling the speed and had been left far behind by the runaway cart.

"Meow, what's going on? Meow!"

"Sorry, Hero, we couldn't hold on to the cart! Meow!" Dahu and Xiaohui apologized quickly.

"You couldn't hold on to the cart... Wait, I need to stop this cart or at least slow it down... Right, the brakes, where are the brakes?"

Thinking about stopping the cart, Wenlong searched the cart for brakes, but found none. Just ahead, a large rock was blocking the way. If Wenlong didn't stop the cart soon, it would definitely crash into the rock.

"Are you kidding me, this cart really has no brakes? Meow!" Wenlong's face turned pale as he shouted to Dahu and Xiaohui, hoping for a confirmation.

"This cart has no brakes, Hero!" Dahu and Xiaohui answered together.

"Damn it, meow!" Wenlong cursed loudly.

Wenlong's voice echoed through the sky, and at the same moment, the cat cart crashed into the large rock ahead.

The wooden cart, which was not very sturdy, disintegrated upon impact, turning into a pile of broken wood. Wenlong, due to the inertia and force of the collision, was thrown into the air and flew forward.

This reminded Wenlong of the time he jumped off a cliff to avoid Xinglong. Back then, he controlled his fall perfectly and didn't get hurt much.

But this time was different. Wenlong was thrown out of the cart due to the collision. If he were a human, the impact might have been fatal, but fortunately, Wenlong was an Ailu cat, much lighter than a human. This made him more likely to be thrown clear of the rock rather than crashing into it and getting injured.

However, Wenlong saw a clearing ahead, with rough, jagged rocks on the ground. According to the basic principles of projectile motion, Wenlong was sure he would soon land on that hard, sharp-stone-covered ground.

"I didn't get hurt fighting Xinglong, but I'm going to crash here? Meow!"

Just as Wenlong thought he would crash into the rocky ground, he saw a figure rushing towards him, shouting excitedly.

"Mr. Cat, Mr. Cat, Mr. Cat! It's really you, Mr. Cat!"

It was Wenlong's partner, Catherine. Seeing Wenlong flying towards her, Catherine instinctively opened her arms to catch him.

"Idiot! What are you doing? If I hit you, we'll both get hurt! Meow!"

Wenlong knew that while Catherine could easily catch him under normal circumstances, he was now falling towards her at a high speed. In this situation, his body was like a bullet, similar to how a small bird can shatter a plane's windshield or even cause a crash.

Wenlong believed that if Catherine tried to catch him, they would both likely be injured due to the impact.

But Catherine didn't listen to Wenlong's warning. She continued to open her arms, ready to catch him.

And just as Catherine hoped, Wenlong crashed into her arms.
