Chapter 116 The Cat and Catnip's Adventure

"what is this?"

On the third floor of the castle, everyone's attention was drawn to the floor carvings discovered by Yafuso.

This carved floor is about one meter square, more than half of which is covered by roots, and the remaining less than one-third is carved with an undead soul kneeling on one knee.

"Let me clear the tree roots around here." Shenba said, and was about to swing his scythe.

"Wait"

Cheng Lang, Yun Ji, and even Yun Lan almost spoke up at the same time to stop him, and said in unison, "Yafuso, come here."

"I really want you to come"

Yafuso proudly pulled out her large scissors and began to clean the tree roots around the carving.

She believed that she was not as brainless as Shenba, so she naturally guessed that everyone was worried that they would be poisoned by Aiwan again after cutting the tree roots.

Everyone worked together to clear the cut tree roots aside, and the full picture of the carved pattern was revealed.

On this stone slab, a large cat like a cheetah squatted on the throne, wearing a beautiful crown on its head. In front of it, rows and rows of undead knelt on one knee and touched their chests to show their submission.

"See if there are any others around," said Yun Ji.

Upon hearing this, Yafuso immediately started working, waving her scissors without saying a word. Yunlan also let a large number of thorns grow on the ground to prop up the tree roots, making it easier for her first mate Yafuso to clean up.

As more and more tree roots were cut and thrown onto the stairs leading downstairs, more and more stone carvings appeared on the floor.

Most of these stone carvings depict various scenes of a big cat being served by the dead.

However, in the paintings at the very edge, a group of humans appeared.

According to the descriptions in these stone carvings, although most of the humans in this group were killed by it, there was one who escaped into the bell tower holding the crown and blocked it with a door.

"Could these carvings be left by this cat?" Yafuso made a bold guess.

“It seems to be true.”

Yun Lan followed up, pointing the thorn sword in his hand at one of the stone slabs, "Look at this stone slab. These scratches should be claw marks, right?"

Following the direction indicated by the other party, I saw a group of humans carved on the floor, but they were torn into pieces by scratches.

"Just now on the first floor, those armored men's reactions to light were indeed very similar to those of cats," Yun Ji followed.

"And these ship lights hanging around"

Shen Ba continued, "These ship lights are all of different styles, and many are engraved with different pirate flags or the coats of arms of the six nations. I guess they were left behind when they came here to explore and hunt for treasure."

"The castle, the cat in the castle, and the cat outside the castle."

Cheng Lang looked at the huge tree roots sticking out from the French window, "Uh, giant catnip?"

"Dear Captain, I found the only mirror in this castle." At this moment, the magic mirror appeared beside everyone.

"What's there?" Cheng Lang asked.

“I don’t know how to describe it”

As the magic mirror spoke, a picture appeared in the mirror held by Shenba.

In this picture, there is a room that is decorated particularly warmly. In this room, there is a big bed, and on the bed is a big black cat.

This big cat, which is almost half the size of a bed, has a hole in its right ear and a golden earring hanging from it.

At this moment, it was licking its thick, yet pink and tender paws.

"Where is this mirror?" Cheng Lang asked.

"upstairs"

The magic mirror replied, "This is the only mirror, and it can only see so much."

“It’s pretty good.”

Cheng Lang said, "Magic Mirror, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the big cat. Let's quickly check what treasures are on this floor."

"Do you want to look for them separately? That will be faster." Yun Ji suggested.

"Not separate"

Cheng Lang quickly said, "Accidents always happen after teammates separate. I won't do such a stupid thing. Let's look for it together. We have plenty of time anyway."

"Okay." Yun Ji pulled out the slender dagger that was crossed on her back very decisively.

Shenba was still walking in the front, Yafuso was walking in the middle, and Cheng Lang was walking at the end. The five-person team began to explore each room one by one.

However, the results of this exploration made them extremely disappointed. There were at least dozens of rooms on this floor, but these rooms could be described as bare.

Not to mention valuable things, even no furniture was found. It's even worse than the first floor, which at least has a few tables.

"Let's go to the fourth floor." Cheng Lang, who had gained nothing, no longer wasted time and directed everyone to climb towards the fourth floor.

"You can't make any noise on the fourth floor."

Yun Ji reminded, "I suggest you go directly to the fifth floor, and I will explore the fourth floor by myself."

"No, this."

"If you can promise not to make any noise, you can explore the fourth floor."

Yun Ji said, shaking the feather pendant hanging around her neck. "It can make my movements silent. And don't even think about going around the fourth floor. If that big cat is there, there might be a lot of valuable treasures there."

"Alright, let's go straight to the fifth floor and wait at the stairs."

Cheng Lang made a decision after a moment's hesitation. After all, he was the captain of this small team, and he had to make the decision in a calm manner.

Without wasting any more time on the third floor, everyone climbed the stairs carefully and tiptoe. Yun Ji was the first to hold the feather pendant and began to explore, while Cheng Lang led the others to continue climbing the stairs to the fifth floor.

There are half as many rooms on the fifth floor, but just like the third floor, every room has been basically emptied out. The windows of some rooms have been poked in by thick tree roots from outside, almost occupying the entire room.

After choosing a room that looked the most sturdy and closing the door to hide, everyone immediately gathered around the magic mirror and watched the live broadcast of the exploration downstairs remotely through this mirror and Yun Ji's mirror.

At this time, Yun Ji had already quietly opened a door.

However, when they saw the things in the room, both Yun Ji and Cheng Lang upstairs couldn't help but feel nervous.

The room is practically filled with all sorts of dinner plates!
However, these plates did not fall down, because each plate was protected tightly by the bodies of the undead. These undead seemed to be more afraid of breaking these things than Yun Ji!
She closed the door quietly, and when Yun Ji saw that the undead inside did not come out, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around, Yun Ji opened the second door. It was filled with candlesticks, and there were also many undead hidden in these candlesticks. There were also undead guarding the door with their bodies, fearing that any candlestick would fall.

"Do the undead have intelligence?" Cheng Lilang asked in a low voice in the hiding room on the fifth floor.

"Dear Captain"

The magic mirror replied respectfully, "The undead may possess simple wisdom, but it is basically impossible for them to be like when they were alive."

"But you and Mrs. Silver Queen..."

"Miss Yafuso"

The magic mirror continued to explain, "Whether it's me or the Silver Queen, we were all once undead souls without any wisdom or memory. Everything we have now was carved into our souls by the people who created us.

Of course, we can now learn to master some things that are completely our own. For example, cooking. When you were away, I was the one who cooked all the meals on the Valkyrie."

"I was planning to become a floating undead in the future." Yafuso muttered softly.

At this moment, Yun Ji on the fourth floor also opened a door. However, when she saw the things in the room, she couldn't help but be stunned. As luck would have it, she actually opened the room where the big cat was!

The moment their eyes met, Yun Ji was stunned, and the big cat that was still licking its paws was also stunned.

"Bang!" Yun Ji slammed the door shut, turned around and ran back.

"Woo--" the big cat let out a roar, clumsily pushed the door open and chased out!

Yun Ji reacted very quickly and threw away the small mirror she was carrying. The magic mirror cooperated tacitly and made the mirror flip back and forth in the air, emitting dazzling sunlight.

As expected, the big cat subconsciously pounced on the mirror and smashed it to pieces.

It was precisely because of this momentary delay that Cheng Lang and Shenba, who rushed out of their hiding room almost at the same time, ran to the stairs and ran downstairs at the fastest speed.

"You go back!"

Cheng Lang shouted, "Protect the others."

"I'm going to save my sister!" Shenba shouted in response.

"Then go to the third floor! Cut off the tree roots! Cut off all the tree roots you can see!"

Cheng Lang shouted a warning, then swung the whip around the stair railing and pulled hard, then rushed down first.

At this time, Yun Ji had also rushed to the stairs. Before she could react, Cheng Lang's whip had already wrapped around her waist and she was dragged to the third floor like a kite.

"Attack the tree roots!" Cheng Lang shouted again to remind them.

After being reminded, although Yun Ji did not understand the meaning, she still used the sharp dagger in her hand to cut through the surrounding roots.

Almost at the same time, the big cat also rushed down. Shenba, who also rushed down from the fourth floor, not only collided with the big cat, but also threw out the huge sickle in his hand, frantically cutting the tree roots everywhere around.

"Shenba!"

Yun Ji let go of the feather in her mouth and let out a desperate cry, watching as the big cat raised its thick claws and slapped Shenba!

"Ow—!"

The big cat let out a scream after slapping Shenba with its claws. At this time, several thorns had pierced its claws with pink pads!

Looking at Shenba again, this creature was now almost entirely wrapped in a huge thorn ball and embedded in the main trunk of a tree growing against the wall in the distance.

"Shenba!"

Before Yun Ji finished her words, she rushed towards Shenba who was still hanging on the tree roots.

Look at the big cat whose fur has stood on end. It is lying on its side, whimpering and trying to use its mouth to pull out the long thorns that are stuck in its pink pads.

However, as Yunlan hurried down with her skirt held up with both hands and a veil on her face for some reason, the big cat's tongue was pierced by the sharp thorns that suddenly grew out.

However, the strange scene that followed was beyond everyone's expectations. The big cat actually began to roll on the ground, rubbing the tree roots that had been cut off by Shenba with a stupid look on its face, and it didn't even care about the injuries on its tongue and claws.

not good!

Cheng Lang and Yun Ji both realized that something was wrong and shouted almost at the same time, "Go back! It's poisonous!"

"I am the princess of the Principality of Ricca"

Yun Lan walked downstairs holding up the hem of her skirt while proudly saying, "Even if it's just a veil, how could it be so ordinary as to just cover my face?"

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Lang couldn't help but want to pick up a piece of tree root and take a few bites, and Yun Ji was even more staggering and was about to fall at any time.

After looking at the big cat rolling around in the distance, Yunlan lifted her skirt and trotted to Yunji's side.

However, before she could touch Yun Ji, the dagger in the latter's hand suddenly slashed towards her.

"Ding!"

Yun Lan subconsciously took a step back and made a standard blocking move with the thorn sword in his hand.

“What a hassle”

Seeing Yun Ji staggering to her knees but still not putting down the dagger in her hand, Yun Lan looked at Shen Ba, who was almost three or four times as big as himself.

Finally, she walked up to Cheng Lang, who was about to use a whip to fight poison with poison. She first touched him tentatively, and when he didn't react, she said as if she had made some kind of decision, "The rest is up to you, Captain."

Before she finished speaking, Yunlan took off her veil and tiptoed to put it on Cheng Lang's face.

In just a moment, as a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, Cheng Lang regained consciousness.

But in just a short while, Yunlan was already sitting on the dirty floor in a duck-like posture, holding a tree root and rubbing it affectionately on her delicate face, which was as delicate as a baby's - leaving streaks of blood.

But the terrifying thing is that the expression on Yunlan's face at this moment was extremely happy. Cheng Lang could even hear her calling "Father" and "Mother" over and over again.

Coming to his senses, he immediately tried to pick up the other person by the waist, but unexpectedly, Yun Lan subconsciously grew thorns all over her body!

What the hell is this toxin!

Cheng Lang cursed inwardly, swung the whip around the other person's slender waist, and dragged her towards the fourth floor.

When passing by Yun Ji, Cheng Lang tried to reach out his hand to her, but the latter subconsciously blocked it with the dagger in her hand.

Fortunately, before the sharp dagger touched Cheng Lang's sleeve, Yun Ji used her own willpower to let go of the dagger in her hand, and Cheng Lang immediately grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the fourth floor for her life.

Back upstairs, Cheng Lang also saw Yafuso fighting the undead with a pair of large scissors.

"Snapped!"

Cheng Lang just cracked his whip, and the undead immediately scattered like birds and beasts, swarming into each room and closing the door. He even heard the sound of the lock being locked.

"What's going on downstairs?"

Yafuso asked immediately, "Yunlan told me to stand here and not move, and said that if I'm okay, then you're safe."

"Our princess is very smart"

Cheng Lang took off the veil on his face and put it on Yun Ji, who had the highest fighting ability. "Are you injured?"

"no!"

Yafuso patted the Dark Elf dagger on her waist and said, "Sister Yunji gave it to me. She said that with the Dark Elf dagger, the undead wouldn't dare to pass through my body."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Ji regained consciousness.

"Can the princess's veil cure poison?"

The astute Yun Ji only glanced around and immediately asked, "What happened just now? Shenba."

"Let Yunlan explain later. I'm going to rescue Shenba right now. You take good care of the two of them and be careful of the undead."

As Cheng Lang was speaking, Yun Lan also woke up and then felt a burning pain on her face.

"Apply some medicine to her face so that it won't leave scars."

Cheng Lang put on his veil again before he finished speaking, "I'll go and rescue Shenba."

"it is good"

Yun Ji responded, and while watching Cheng Lang run back to the third floor, she took out a bottle of precious golden healing potion and said, "I'll help you heal."

"Use the green one. I've never relied on my looks to make a living."

Yun Lan nonchalantly took out a tube of green healing potion, crushed it and applied it on her face, but the moment it came into contact, the expired princess, who had only been handsome for a few seconds, shivered in pain, and said pitifully with a sobbing voice and tears pouring out, "Come and help me."

Shaking her head in a helpless manner, Yun Ji let the other person lie on her legs, and then she took out a golden healing potion, knocked it open before the other person could speak, and carefully poured it on the hideous wounds.

At the same time, on the third floor, Cheng Lang, with a veil on his face, was racking his brains over how to rescue Shenba, who was hugging the tree roots, kissing and sucking them, and calling out the name "Xin Likou" over and over again.

Is this sea full of Chinese toon trees?
Cheng Lang sighed helplessly, bent down to pick up the dagger that Yun Ji had thrown away before, and easily cut off the tree roots that were being molested. Then, with great disgust, he wrapped the whip around Shenba's ankles and dragged him towards the fourth floor.

But inevitably, his attention was focused on the big cat in the distance, which was already happy with its four legs raised to the sky and foaming at the mouth.

"So this is really just a cat and catnip adventure?"

Cheng Lang sighed. He even began to think that the big cat that looked like a black panther was a little cute.
