There were a large group of dead or half-dead rats lying everywhere in this small temple. In the center of the courtyard of the gymnasium, there was a huge formation painted with complicated talismans. It was not a talisman formation drawn with cinnabar or other ink, but drawn in blood, which was frightening.
Standing in the formation was a figure wearing a Taoist robe. That face belonged to the person who had brought the guinea pig during the day. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, he did not look upright at all. His face was gloomy, his eyes were black, and he walked to the edge of the formation with a crooked smile.
A familiar eagle-gray rat lay dying outside the formation, its belly and four paws pressing hard on the bag it had finally stolen, and blood was still choking from its mouth: “Wu Zhao… you don’t keep your word… I will never give it to you…”
“Word?” Wu Zhao seemed to have heard some big joke, “The way of heaven is not about honor, only about strength! Come to me, but you can rest assured, I won’t let you die now. When I successfully overcome the tribulation, I will wash your marrow and erase your memory. After all, you are a rare member of the spirit rat clan, and you are also a good material for a weapon refiner, hahahahaha!”
“Transcending the tribulation?” Xu Maomao opened his eyes wide, looked up at the clouds, and saw the talisman array on the ground. He suddenly realized: It turns out that he is not the one who wants to survive the disaster!
So this man sent the pig to steal the spiritual bone because he wanted to overcome the tribulation?
Before he could think about it, Wu Zhao saw that the thunder clouds in the sky could not be underestimated, so he stopped talking nonsense, stepped on the side of the bag, and kicked the big rat flying to the ground. The sorghum monster screamed “Zhizhi” and landed right in front of Xu Maomao. As a spirit, the injury was serious, but not fatal. Before it lost consciousness, it saw the beautiful cat, looking at it with shock and pity.
However, Xu Maomao couldn’t care less about sympathizing with it, because the bag must not fall into the hands of that bast**d named Wu Zhao.
There was thunder and lightning above his head, and it was too late to refine the bone weapon. Wu Zhao did not dare to delay, and then bent down and was about to pick up the bag on the ground. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the soft cloth, a gust of wind passed by, followed by a painful blow on the back of his hand. A beautiful cat nimbly picked up the bag and quickly stepped on the back of his hand with its claws again. The sharp claws deliberately exposed made the back of his hand drip with blood.
“Where did the cat come from?!” Wu Zhao shouted. After seeing it clearly, his eyes became delighted, “Your tail…”
Xu Maomao didn’t know that he had two tails. This was his first serious attack. He was very nervous. Seeing the thunderclouds above his head, he didn’t want to go through the disaster together. The attack power contained in the thunderclouds was so great that he might not be able to withstand it despite his low cultivation level.
Biting the small cloth bag in his mouth, Xu Maomao turned around and wanted to run away. The Taoist priest naturally wanted to chase him out, but Xu Maomao was born with wind on all four paws and was definitely faster than him.
But just when he was about to jump over the clouds that were getting lower and lower and jump to the outer wall, his body, which was jumping high, came into contact with the clouds and was hit hard. His head buzzed and all the hair on his body… exploded and it fell down with a thud.
The unlucky cat had stepped into the range of the thunderstorm. It could only enter but not exit the thunder tribulation.
A whisk was thrown from Wu Zhao’s hand. It was obviously a solemn and sacred Taoist weapon, but in his hand it was full of evil. The whisk was extended, and Xu Maomao was rolled up and pulled into the formation.
Xu Maomao had just been struck by lightning and had fallen into a semi-conscious state. However, he instinctively bared his teeth and raised his sharp claws, trying to viciously scratch off a piece of his flesh. Instead, he snatched the bag from his mouth, rolled up the dust with a whisk, and threw Xu Maomao away. The whole body was covered in dust, leaving only one long tail and another transparent short tail waving.
“…I didn’t expect that a nine-tailed cat would come!” Wu Zhao looked at him and then at the bone in his hand, “I thought there were no more nine-tailed cats in this world!”
Xu Maomao’s consciousness was racing. After recovering, his demonic power was fully charged again, and it was easy to break away from the fly whisk, but his words caught his attention: “Nine-tailed cat?”
“It seems you don’t know your own bloodline,” Wu Zhao smiled proudly. Picking up the bone, he said, “These are the bones of your mother. Back then she helped me to overcome the disaster. Today you will help me to overcome the disaster again. God’s will, God’s will! It’s such a coincidence that God is helping me! Hahahaha!”
Xu Maomao: Confused.
What did he say? Whose bones were those?
However, the current situation did not allow the two of them to be distracted anymore. The thundercloud had shrunk to the extreme and opened a mouth. There was dazzling energy inside. In the next moment, countless lightning beams struck the small Taoist temple.
Wu Zhao reacted very quickly, and immediately retreated to the safe zone in the formation and held out the bone he had just snatched in his hand to the sky above the center of the formation – according to his original plan, he would use the bone to resist the first wave of thunder. The spiritual power overflowing from the bone should be able to withstand two to three waves. The latter ones should be resisted with the formation and his own cultivation. Unexpectedly, a nine-tailed cat tribe with two tails suddenly came, so they could continue. It would be used to divert the heavenly tribulation. It should be foolproof to overcome the tribulation by oneself. Maybe he could still escape unscathed and reach the level of Daluo Jinxian[1].
His calculation was good, but after sacrificing the spiritual bone, half of the lightning tribulation directly shattered the bone, and some dark red “marrow” overflowed from the bone. The aura of the “bone marrow” was overwhelming. Wu Zhao’s eyes lit up and he knew it was a good thing. He was licking his tongue and opening his arms to receive it. Unexpectedly, all the “marrow” suddenly merged into the cat’s body, leaving nothing for him.
A soft golden-red light suddenly flashed around the kitten, covering it like a cover and repelling the lightning that tried to attack it.
Each wave of thunder and lightning definitely did not end with two strikes, but a continuous attack. The remaining half of the thunder and lightning could not find the target, so they immediately changed their direction and struck Wu Zhao hard. The complacent Wu Zhao was unprepared and was immediately hit with blood spurting from his mouth and nose and was on the verge of collapse.
Xu Maomao, who had dodged the blow, also felt uncomfortable. The “bone marrow” energy entering his body was too powerful, and his small body could not bear it. An almost explosive feeling of fullness filled his body. At the same time, he heard many meows in his mind.
