I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2326 Prepare for Revenge
Just then, a series of soft meows came from underground. Although the sound was faint, it was exceptionally clear in this environment.

Cat Brother and Liu Jun caught the sound almost simultaneously, and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

The red in Cat Brother's eyes gradually faded, and with a flash, he rushed towards the direction from which the sound came like an arrow.

Liu Jun followed closely behind, their hearts filled with anticipation and tension. They knew that perhaps some of the wildcat tribe members had survived.

As they drew closer, the faint meows grew clearer. They finally arrived at a cave carved out by a heavy rain, and the sound was coming from deep within the cave.

Without hesitation, Cat Brother wanted to squeeze into the narrow cave to find his last remaining members of his tribe.

His heart was filled with anxiety and longing, as if every moment of waiting would make that blood-related kinship even more unattainable.

But Cat Brother forgot that he was now controlling the God's enormous, robust body.

This body possesses a power that can shake all things, but it has also become incredibly cumbersome as a result.

Let alone the pitifully small opening in front of him, even if the opening were enlarged twenty times, it would still be a difficult challenge for Cat Brother in his current form. He might not even be able to squeeze in a single finger.

"Brother Cat, wake up!" Liu Jun reacted quickly and grabbed Brother Cat, who was trying to force his way into the cave.

His voice carried a mixture of anxiety and rationality, as he tried to pull Cat Brother back to reality from that crazy impulse.

"If you can't squeeze in, try calling to the kittens inside. Maybe they can hear you and come out on their own."

Liu Jun's concerns were not unfounded. The interior of the cave was completely unknown, and it might conceal intricate passages and fragile rock formations.

The terrifying power of the deity, if out of control, could trigger a chain reaction, causing the cave to collapse. At that point, the innocent kittens would also face certain death.

Pulled by Liu Jun, Cat Brother snapped out of his daze, stopped his seemingly futile efforts, and instead meowed softly a few times at the cave entrance.

The voice contained endless tenderness and a sense of security, as if telling the kittens in the cave: "I'm back, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Outside the cave, Cat Brother and Liu Jun waited anxiously; inside, all was silent except for occasional rustling sounds and a few soft meows.

Finally, after a long wait, a little black cat cautiously peeked out from the depths of the cave.

The little black cat's eyes held a mixture of curiosity and timidity, but when it saw the cat brother outside the cave, its eyes lit up instantly, as if it had found a long-lost sense of security.

Without the slightest hesitation, the little black cat leaped up and pounced on the cat brother's massive body. Although it knew that this body did not belong to the real cat brother, the sense of closeness derived from blood and soul was irresistible.

After a while, perhaps because the little black cat had not returned, several timid kittens cautiously peeked out from the dark cave, their eyes filled with fear and curiosity.

Upon seeing Cat Brother, these little guys reacted just like the little black cat, as if they had finally found someone to rely on.

As time went by, the kittens crawled out of the cave one by one. Some toddled around, while others huddled together, and eventually they all gathered in a relatively open area.

Liu Jun stood aside, quietly observing all of this, and a sense of indescribable shock welled up in his heart.

When all the kittens came out, he counted them carefully and was surprised to find that there were more than a hundred of them. They were either black and white or yellow and white striped, and each one looked so small and helpless.

Although the number of these hundred-odd kittens seems insignificant compared to the vast population of feral cats, it is a stroke of good fortune that so many lives survived after that horrific massacre.

Liu Jun knew very well that the survival of these kittens was undoubtedly a rare glimmer of hope for Cat Brother; otherwise, the crazed Cat Brother would have been a catastrophic disaster for the entire Burial Valley.

After a while, the kittens gradually calmed down. They stopped running around and instead stayed close to Cat Brother.

Cat Brother sat there, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, seemingly comforting the frightened little creatures in his own way.

The kittens either rubbed against Cat Brother's body or made soft meows. Clearly, their previous experience had left them with a huge psychological scar, and Cat Brother's presence was their strongest support at this moment.

While these kittens were seeking solace from Cat Brother, Liu Jun was also busy.

His heart was filled with sympathy for the stray cats' plight, and at the same time, he was furious at the mastermind behind it all.

So he decided to do what he could to comfort these innocent lives.

According to the human world, the soul returns to the soul, and the earth returns to the earth; only by being buried can one find peace.

So Liu Jun found a remote corner and began digging a large pit. The pit was deep and large enough to hold the withered wild cat carcasses scattered around it.

Then, he carefully picked up each corpse and gently placed it into the pit. These wild cats were once vibrant lives, but now only withered shells remained, evoking pity in one's heart.

After properly arranging all the bodies, Liu Jun gathered some stones and branches to erect a simple tombstone for these departed lives. He stood silently before the tombstone, offering his condolences and blessings in his heart.

Meanwhile, Cat Brother also settled the frightened kittens. The little guys huddled together, their eyes still filled with fear, but with Cat Brother's company, they seemed to have found some comfort.

When Liu Jun finished everything, Cat Brother also came over. Its voice was still a little hoarse, and its language skills were still not very good: "Thanks..."

Although it was only a single word, it contained deep gratitude.

Liu Jun was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "No need to thank me. Strictly speaking, it was I who dragged you down in this matter."

He knew very well that the fate of these stray cats was inextricably linked to his own. If it weren't for his grudges, these innocent little creatures might not have suffered such a tragic fate.

He carefully examined the corpses of these wild cats and found that they had also had their flesh and souls drained, just like the withered beast corpse he had encountered before.

This was clearly Liu Yuan's doing, and Liu Yuan did it simply because he had a grudge against him. Therefore, Cat Brother and his people could be said to have been implicated by him.

However, once it regained its senses, Cat didn't blame Liu Jun. It simply uttered a single word: "Fate."

This word seems to contain endless vicissitudes and helplessness.

Clearly, for someone like Cat Brother, who has lived for a long time and witnessed the departure of countless members of his clan, he has gradually come to accept it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun felt even more guilty and sorrowful. He knew that no matter how much he tried to make amends, he couldn't bring back those lost lives. But he also understood that he couldn't wallow in grief and self-blame. He had to pull himself together, find Liu Yuan, and avenge those little ones.

"AI, come out, get to work." Rainwater slid down Liu Jun's cheeks, and his voice sounded particularly loud in the empty environment.

With a soft "whoosh," the AI-powered No. 1 spun out of the void, its lights flickering as if responding to Liu Jun's call.

Without Liu Jun saying anything, this guy began to automatically scan the surrounding environment, looking for any clues or traces that might have been left behind.

However, due to the devastating rain, very few traces remained at the scene. The scanning results from Brain One were less than ideal, capturing very little information.

"Can't find it?" Liu Jun frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness.

He also understood that finding clues would be even more difficult after this sudden downpour.

"There's hardly any spiritual energy left, and the aura has faded considerably due to the torrential rain," the AI-powered system's voice rang out, tinged with regret.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun's heart sank even further. Just as he had expected, the torrential rain not only washed away the physical traces, but also made the already faint spiritual energy almost imperceptible.

Just then, a golden figure suddenly appeared on Liu Jun's shoulder. It was the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo, which appeared in an almost transparent state, with only a faint golden light shimmering in the rain.

The Golden Spirit Holy Embryo had previously exhausted too much of its primordial energy to help Liu Jun absorb a large amount of metallic substances, causing it to fall into a long slumber. It has only just awakened now.

"Are you stupid? Beg me, call me big brother, and I'll tell you what to do." Jin Ling Sheng Tai's voice carried a hint of mockery and smugness, as if he was enjoying Liu Jun's helplessness.

Looking at the semi-transparent little golden figure on his shoulder, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.

Although Jinling Shengtai usually likes to joke around, she always provides unexpected help at crucial moments.

"Brother, you're my brother, tell me what to do quickly," Liu Jun asked, his tone filled with pleading and expectation.

As for being called "Big Brother," he didn't feel anything was wrong with it. Considering the time that the Golden Spirit Saint had lived, even his great-great ...

Upon seeing this, the Golden Spirit Embryo smiled slightly, as if enjoying the feeling of being needed.

"Actually, there is a way, but it requires some special methods," said Jinling Shengtai, hands behind his back, legs swinging, with a confident expression.

"What method?" Liu Jun was taken aback, his brows furrowed, and he looked at the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo with a heart full of doubt.

“You don’t understand. Let that little Water Spirit Embryo come out.” The Golden Spirit Embryo said in an old-fashioned manner, with a mysterious smile on its face.

Although Liu Jun was even more confused, he still chose to believe in the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo. He paused for a moment, then closed his eyes, chanted incantations, and rapidly formed hand seals. A moment later, the image of the Water Spirit Holy Embryo appeared before them.

As soon as the Water Spirit Embryo appeared, it curiously looked around, seemingly quite interested in the sudden downpour.

Liu Jun understood by now. Although the torrential rain had cut off their trail and prevented them from continuing their pursuit of Liu Yuan, the weather was undoubtedly very suitable for the Water Spirit Holy Embryo, which possessed water-attribute power.

The special methods mentioned by the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo probably refer to the unique abilities possessed by the Water Spirit Holy Embryo.

"Little one, can you transform rainwater into butterflies?" The Golden Spirit Holy Embryo smiled at the Water Spirit Holy Embryo, its tone filled with anticipation.

Although the Water Spirit Holy Embryo did not inherit as many powerful and rich memories as the Golden Spirit Holy Embryo, it still mastered some basic abilities and skills.
