"Hey cat angel, at least show us some respect. We're magical beasts, and level 7 wolves at that. Do you really think we're that worthless?"
In response to the cat angel's constant provocations, the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, pawed its paws to the ground, exchanged a glance, and instantly leaped into the air with lightning speed, quickly reaching the cat angel's face.
"Holy crap, looks like I overestimated myself just now. These guys' attack speed is incredible. No wonder Liu Ziming said that seventh-tier magical beasts like the Azure Wolves are social animals and prefer to attack in groups?"
Just when the wolves thought they were about to bite the cat angel's neck, they never dreamed that two transparent wings would sprout from the cat angel's back. The wings fluttered twice, and the cat angel rose several meters higher, successfully dodging their attack.
"Holy crap, is this even allowed? Are we even allowed to live in the Monster Forest anymore?"
The enormous gray wolf never dreamed that the cat angel could grow wings; it was too bizarre. Although they were also magical beasts, they had never seen anything like it. "That was close! If I hadn't come up with this quick thinking, I might really be dead this time!" The cat angel gently flapped its silver wings, patting its chest, still feeling a bit shaken. "Haha, I didn't expect you to come up with this idea at a time like this. How interesting!"
Just when Cat Tianshi thought he had narrowly escaped the attack of the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, he never expected that Liu Ziming's annoying voice would ring out in his ear again, this time with a teasing tone. "You're really quite despicable, aren't you?"
It's no wonder the cat angel had such thoughts; he himself had faced several crises, and Liu Ziming hadn't offered a single helping hand.
Chapter 315 It's better to create opportunities than wait for them
The reason Liu Ziming thought and acted this way was entirely because he felt that instead of waiting for opportunities, he should create them. He wanted to see if the Cat Angel felt the same way he did in the Monster Forest.
"If I hadn't been hiding here constantly reminding you, you might really be in danger. You should thank me, right? In this monster forest, at least you can improve your strength again. Such an opportunity is like a windfall. Shouldn't you thank me?"
The cat angel flapped its wings and finally discovered where Liu Ziming was hiding. He was lazily perched on a tree branch, drawing a giant spider. She was really annoyed.
Perhaps Liu Ziming had already sensed that the cat angel was hostile towards him. Seeing his somewhat fierce expression, he quickly spoke up. "Hehe, cat angel, feel it for yourself now. Doesn't it feel like the spiritual energy within your body is more abundant, like a great river?"
Because Liu Ziming knew that whatever he said at this moment would probably not be believed by the Cat Angel, but the Cat Angel still cared a lot about improving her abilities, so he said this. "You better be telling the truth. If you dare to lie to me, I'll flap my wings and throw you off the tree, letting those seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, eat you up!"
Liu Ziming never expected that when Cat Angel got ruthless, he could be even more vicious than others. He felt speechless because he felt that this guy didn't understand his good intentions at all, so he felt very innocent.
However, Cat Angel quickly tried it out according to Liu Ziming's instructions, and to her surprise, the spiritual energy in her body was indeed much more abundant, and she had a continuous feeling in her body, which was particularly comfortable.
"Hehe, I really didn't expect to be able to improve my strength in this Monster Forest. Although I only killed a seventh-tier monster wolf, I've improved so much. It seems this opportunity really was prepared for me?" The Cat Angel was completely surprised. Liu Ziming hadn't lied to him at all. He could clearly feel his spiritual energy increasing by at least one-sixth, which was no small amount. "What are we waiting for now? Are we going to wait until those seventh-tier monster wolves react, until there are more of them, before you kill them all?"
Just as the cat angel was feeling somewhat delighted, Liu Ziming's annoying voice rang in his ears again, still with that teasing tone, lazily making him feel particularly uncomfortable.
However, Cat Angel thought Liu Ziming's suggestion was excellent. He could kill the 7th-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, and improve his own strength at the same time. How could he miss such an opportunity?
"You despicable fellow, are you really going to just watch a weak woman like me fight against these level 7 magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, without offering any help?"
Although the cat angel said that, he did not hesitate at all. He flapped his silver wings and pounced directly at the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf. Like an elf, he was extremely fast and had no chance to react at all.
As the cat angel flapped its silver wings, powerful spiritual energy emanated from its body, like mighty rivers, blasting the seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, into dust. "Holy crap, that's terrifying! I can actually do something like this? That's amazing!"
Cat Angel never expected that he could kill a level 7 magical beast, the Azure Wolf, just after breaking through to the seventh rank. He could hardly believe that he had done it all by himself.
"Haha, I wasn't lying to you, was I? Only by constantly killing these guys can you quickly improve your cultivation and abilities. This magical beast forest is really strange, but I especially like it!"
The cat angel had single-handedly killed more than a dozen 7th-tier blue wolf magical beasts. Without any hesitation, the cat angel directly absorbed all the spiritual power from the bodies of these blue wolves, appearing quite satisfied.
"Don't get cocky, buddy. Although my cultivation level improved thanks to your help, it's like these things are your duty?"
Hearing Cat Angel say such a thing, Liu Ziming's expression remained calm. He didn't care about Cat Angel's words at all; at least Cat Angel's abilities had improved, which was a good thing for him. "Haha, you don't need to thank me, absolutely no need to thank me. I wouldn't be able to handle that. You know I'm a very low-key person."
Seeing Liu Ziming's somewhat arrogant behavior, Cat Angel was speechless. However, he quickly had a strange idea: he felt that if he didn't tease Liu Ziming, he would feel really uncomfortable.
"Spider, you'd better turn around and look. There's something above you that's getting closer. Don't you feel anything?"
Liu Ziming didn't need to guess; he knew that Cat Angel was just teasing him and getting revenge. Nothing was actually approaching him. But he never expected that, and neither did Cat Angel, that their joke would actually come true.
"Holy crap, thank goodness I reacted quickly enough, otherwise I would have been swallowed by that owl!"
Because Liu Ziming was disguised as a spider and was leisurely perched on a tree trunk, he had no idea that in the forest of magical beasts, owls were also exceptionally large. They had already considered him as their prey, but Liu Ziming simply hadn't noticed.
"Haha, it seems my words did have some effect. You deserve this punishment!"
Cat Angel had no idea that her intention was to tease Liu Ziming. But seeing his somewhat disheveled appearance, Cat Angel covered her mouth with her hand, laughing uncontrollably. "What's so funny? Even tigers have naps, let alone a tiny spider like me!" It has to be said, Liu Ziming was not only arrogant but also incredibly narcissistic, possessing absolute self-confidence.
"Damn it, the world is really going to the dogs! A little owl actually dares to think of me as its meal!"
Chapter 316 Spinning silk is my ultimate skill
Just as Liu Ziming and Cat Angel were laughing and joking, they never expected that the owl, which had just missed its attack, would swoop down at them again from the sky, moving with incredible speed like a giant black lightning bolt, its claws about to grab them.
"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off in front of me? It seems you're really tired of living?"
Because Liu Ziming could clearly sense that although the owl was quite large, it was only a level 6 magical beast, which was not even worth mentioning to him.
"Take this, I'll show you my ultimate technique!"
It has to be said that Liu Zemo is not only arrogant, but also an absolute oddball. While shouting, he actually spat out a lot of silk threads, which tightly entangled the huge owl together, making it look like a giant rice dumpling, which was quite hilarious.
"My God, you can actually do that? You're really something else!"
Cat Angel never expected that Liu Ziming would actually use the spider's greatest strength, spitting silk to throw the huge owl directly to the ground and knock it unconscious. He just couldn't understand how this guy could be so quick-witted.
"Haha, have you forgotten what I am? A spider! Spinning silk is my true specialty!"
Looking at Liu Ziming's smug expression, Cat Angel felt helpless but couldn't help but admire how awesome this guy really was.
Today he truly witnessed just how terrifying Liu Ziming's attack methods were; they could strike unexpectedly and were incredibly diverse. "Where am I? What just happened? How did I get mixed up in all this? Am I dreaming?"
The enormous owl never dreamed it would be attacked by a tiny spider, and slammed to the ground, dazed and confused. When it finally came to, it had no idea what had happened. "Haha, well, I'll have to put you through this. You, owl, have been captured by a little spider like me. Now you're my trophy, and I have no choice but to do with you as I see fit. Now you understand, right?"
Hearing Liu Ziming's arrogant expression, not only was the cat angel unable to bear it, but the owl's heart had completely collapsed. He really couldn't understand or imagine that he was actually knocked to the ground by a tiny spider. If this got out, how could he ever face the monster forest again?
"You'd better let me go, or you'll be cursed?"
Liu Ziming never expected that this huge sixth-tier magical beast owl would actually threaten him. He seemed indifferent, and directly put one claw on his head and hit it hard twice, looking very tough.
"Go ahead and curse me, go ahead and curse me! I'll let you experience what it feels like to have your head knocked out! You'll feel like throwing up but won't be able to, but you'll just feel fucking awful. Doesn't that feel great?"
The Tier 6 magical beast owl never imagined that such a small spider would be so arrogant towards it. But now it was helpless, completely bound by the spider's silk and unable to use its magic. It could only conclude that the creature was acting recklessly.
"Damn it, why aren't you yelling and cursing me anymore? If I were cursed, you would definitely die before me, I can guarantee that!" Liu Ziming transformed into a little spider, his eight claws relentlessly hammering at the owl's body. Although the force was not great, the insults were extremely strong.
Liu Ziming didn't want to seriously injure the owl; he just wanted to damage his spirit, to make him completely lose his rationality or demonic nature.
After about five or six minutes, Liu Ziming was really tired. Although the owl was a level 6 magical beast, its mental fortitude was not that strong. It finally couldn't bear it anymore and kept begging.
"Grandpa Spider, Grandpa Spider, please let me go! Just let me go like a fart, okay? As long as you let me go, I'll provide you with useful information for whatever you want to do in this magical beast forest. I mean what I say!" A sixth-tier magical beast owl was subdued by a tiny spider and appeared unusually docile, which seemed both funny and bizarre to anyone who saw it.
"My goodness, Liu Ziming is too terrifying! He's playing with a level 6 magical beast owl so well, and it seems particularly docile. Does this guy really want to tame this owl?" It's no wonder that Cat Angel has such a bizarre idea. After all, Liu Ziming's actions and thoughts are really easy to give people this kind of wrong feeling.
"Hehe, it's not impossible for me to let you go. I don't want to absorb your spiritual power. Your level is too low. I don't even look at you! But I have one condition. If you accept it, I might be able to meet your requirements?" The level 6 magical beast owl never dreamed that it still had a chance to survive, so it blinked its eyes without any hesitation, because that was the only action it could take now.
After all, Liu Ziming's silk threads were still firmly bound to his body, making him like a giant rice dumpling, unable to move at all. "What do you mean by blinking? Do you agree or disagree? I don't quite understand, you'd better just tell me directly?" Hearing Liu Ziming say this, the owl's heart completely collapsed.
"Boss, you can't play like this. His mouth is already locked shut by your silk thread. How can I speak? You have to give me this (Wang Zhao) opportunity. Don't you understand?"
The reason Liu Ziming said that was because he felt he hadn't had enough fun yet. He could clearly sense that there were many unknown dangers and high-level magical beasts in the magical beast forest, and he wanted to know what they were.
Therefore, he wanted to get some useful information from the mouth of the level 6 magical beast owl, and had no intention of killing it.
"Oh, I see. Your blinking means you agree. Now listen carefully, my condition is very simple. Just tell me what things are in this Monster Forest, what terrifying beings exist there, and I'll spare your life. Do you understand, Captain?"
Liu Ziming scratched incessantly at the owl's head and body with his claws, looking utterly disgusted, but the creature didn't dare utter a sound.
Chapter 317 The More Difficult the Journey, the More We Move Forward
Perhaps Liu Ziming had had enough fun, because he didn't take the 6th-tier magical beast owl seriously at all, and directly retracted his silk threads.
"Thank you so much, boss! What do you want to know? I can tell you now. I'll definitely answer everything I know. You can ask me anything."
The owl was truly impressed by the enormous sixth-tier magical beast. It was not only convinced of its strength, but also completely convinced of the strange creature's character.
Seeing the Tier 6 monster owl behaving as obediently as a cute little rabbit, Cat Angel was even more speechless.
"You big jerk, Liu Ziming, have you even considered my feelings? The owl is from the same family as me, don't you really care about my thoughts?" It has to be said, Cat Angel's thinking is quite bizarre. What connection or difference does the owl have with him? Even a fool knows. "Heh, what I'm most concerned about right now is why this place is called the Monster Forest, but there are so many magical beasts like you inside?"
Hearing Liu Ziming ask such a brainless question, the level 6 magical beast owl was speechless. Was this guy an idiot? But he absolutely dared not think that way.
Seeing Liu Ziming's somewhat teasing gaze, the 6th-tier magical beast owl became even more frightened, because he felt that the guy in front of him was the real terror. Although he was just a small spider, he was definitely someone he couldn't afford to mess with.
"Boss, although this place is called the Monster Forest, it can also be called the Monster Forest. Many different levels of monsters live here, and they are divided into areas. The closer you get to the core area, the higher the level of the monsters. Because my level is too low, I don't dare to go there at all, so that's all I know?"
Hearing the explanation suddenly given to him by the Tier 6 monster cat, Liu Ziming was speechless. "I asked you why this place is called the Monster Forest, and you didn't explain it to me clearly."
"Are you a little stupid? Are you a little stupid? I asked you why this place is called the Demon Forest. Don't you have any origin story?" Perhaps the 6th-tier magical beast owl was really scared by Liu Ziming. After thinking for a while, he spoke again.
"Boss, it's all my fault for not explaining clearly enough. The reason this place is called the Demon Forest is entirely related to the Demon King, the lord of this city. It is said that the Demon King built this Demon Forest not only to train the abilities of his subordinates, but also for his daughter, entirely to please her. All the magical beasts here are his daughter's pets, but we have never seen that guy."
Upon hearing the explanation from the 6th-tier magical beast owl, Liu Ziming finally understood. It turned out that this magical beast forest was actually related to that girl Yuebai. That was quite interesting and piqued his strong curiosity.
"A level 6 magical beast like you should only be able to live in the outer areas, right?"
Hearing Liu Ziming ask such a brainless question again, Owl's heart completely collapsed. You've already figured it out, why do you still need to ask me for confirmation? But there was nothing he could do. After all, he was Liu Ziming's prisoner, and he had no chance or right to refute him.
"Hehe, boss, you're really smart. Someone of my low level can only live in the outskirts, hunting down guys of even lower levels to improve my strength?"
Hearing what the sixth-tier magical beast owl said, Liu Ziming's thoughts were somewhat different from his. He felt that although this magical beast forest was built by the city lord of the Demon King's castle for his daughter, it was definitely not that simple. As for the specific reason, even that silly girl Yuebai probably didn't know what was going on.
"Boss, can I leave now? I'm really hungry, and I haven't managed to find any low-level magical beasts to fill my stomach yet." Seeing the somewhat miserable expression on the face of the 6th-tier magical beast owl, Liu Ziming waved his hand impatiently and let it go.
"What exactly are you planning to do? Are you going to stay here? Don't you think there are too many unknown dangers ahead? We shouldn't be making these plans?"
Cat Angel really couldn't understand why Liu Ziming liked the Monster Forest. Was it just because it could improve his strength? But there were too many dangers, and he didn't want to do that, so he wanted to persuade Liu Ziming to give up such a bizarre idea and plan.
"Haha, the more dangerous it is, the more we push forward, isn't that what makes it interesting?"
Seeing the somewhat indifferent expression on Liu Ziming's face, the cat angel's heart completely collapsed, because he knew that he could not persuade this guy anymore, so he could only let him do whatever he wanted.
"Hehe, Cat Angel, it's a lot of work for you to go back to our place and bring everyone here. Don't you want everyone's strength to increase rapidly in this Monster Forest?" Cat Angel really didn't expect that Liu Ziming would not only stay here by himself, but also want to bring everyone here. He really couldn't understand what this guy was up to.
Seeing the cat angel's puzzled expression and quirky behavior, Liu Ziming knew that the cat angel had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained.
"You've definitely misunderstood me. The reason I gathered everyone here is because we're a team, and I don't want anyone to be in danger. Do you think it's safe at his place? At the very least, we can improve our abilities in this Monster Forest, and isn't it safer for everyone to stay together?"
Hearing Liu Ziming say that, Cat Angel understood a little. So that's what he was thinking. Her expression turned a little awkward and embarrassed.
“Boss Spider, I misunderstood you. I’ll go and gather everyone in the Monster Forest right away. At least here, we’ll all be together. We’ll share the safety and the joy.” Hearing Mommy Angel say this, Liu Ziming smiled, because he felt that this guy finally understood what he was thinking, and he seemed very happy.
"Everyone, get up! Get up! Spider Boss, call us into the Monster Forest. Maybe we can get more resources there?" Cat Angel went straight back to her lodgings and gathered everyone together.
Chapter 318 Misguided Path, People's Joy
Everyone was in their own rooms, completely unaware of what the cat angel was up to. In a flurry, they woke everyone up, bewildered. "What are you doing, disturbing my rest? If you have no reason, see how I deal with you!"
After all, Slime Jing had gone out with Liu Ziming before and had just returned to rest. He didn't expect to be disturbed by the Cat Angel, so he seemed very unhappy.
Seeing the unfriendly expression on Slime Shizuka's face, Cat Angel didn't care at all, because he knew that Liu Ziming wouldn't be so reckless; there must be a reason why he did this. "Hehe, I'm really sorry, it's not that I wanted to disturb everyone's rest, it was all Spider Boss's idea. He's currently in the Monster Forest, and he thinks it seems safer there than our lodgings. What can I do? I'm just a messenger."
No one expected that Liu Ziming wouldn't stay in his room but would run out again, and even go to the Monster Forest. They really couldn't understand what this guy was up to. "Cat Qin Shi Mingyue, is what you said true? Liu Ziming actually went to the Monster Forest. Is he in any danger? Why did you leave him there alone? Do you think it's right to do this?" Although Seven-Colored Deer was a bit timid and had a low cultivation level, Cat Angel never expected that this guy would grab her and shake her incessantly, as if he were in a great hurry.
In truth, no one understood what Liu Ziming was up to. Was the Monster Forest really safer than where they were now? That was a joke!
"Everyone, stop arguing! Spider Boss must have a reason. He's not a reckless person. I think since he told us to go there, we should hurry up and set off. Maybe there will be some opportunity?" As a senior elder, the Giant Ape knew what everyone was thinking, but he didn't explain it clearly. He knew that Liu Ziming must have a reason for doing this, but he couldn't say for sure what it was.
However, he still trusted Liu Ziming completely. After all, this guy was bold and exceptionally meticulous; he would never do something like this without absolute certainty. "I think this old monkey is right. Perhaps we should head there immediately. Liu Ziming never fights unprepared battles. Should we follow his arrangements?" No one expected that the Flame Dragon would agree to Liu Ziming's plan, appearing quite enthusiastic. What exactly was this guy planning?
