The God of Cataka

92

"You wait here!" Shen Zhu said to the group.

The group stiffened simultaneously. Like a child who loses his father.

"Where is Young Master going?" ask the young man who was not a Liu, who willingly followed them. "Should I have company?"

"No need, I won't be long" Shen Zhu replied as he turned his horse towards the wilderness. "Don't fight!" the message before leaving.

The residents smiled clumsily. Then glanced at each other.

Xiao Mao leaped from Shen Zhu's lap, then landed on the side of the horse he was riding on. "How about we race?" his challenge.

"Good!" Shen Zhu responded enthusiastically, "Who is afraid?" It then sped up the pace of its horse while Xiao Mao ran by its side like a puma.

Reaching a cliff, Shen Zhu stopped his horse.

"You suck!" jeered Xiao Mao who knew already stood up and crossed the edge of the cliff in front of Shen Zhu in a human form.

Shen Zhu jumped down from his horse and tethered it to a tree. Then walked slowly towards Xiao Mao on the edge of the cliff.

"The fifth level fighter's den!" Xiao Mao told as he pointed towards the valley.

"Fifth level monsters only?" Shen Zhu leaned one shoulder against a tree and linked his legs together. "Play with him!" his instructions while swinging his chin towards the valley.

"Good!" Xiao Mao responded excitedly. "Then I have to get the most rations."

"No problem," Shen Zhu replied expressionlessly.

A second later, Xiao Mao had already darted towards the valley and landed in front of a fierce cow with a hard complexion like a rhinoceros. "You want to try my claws?" challenge while installing the horses.

YOOOOOOOOOO!

The monster growled as it arched its back. His head bowed in a position ready to gore.

Xiao Mao smiled obliquely.

The monster stuck one foot onto the ground. The hill behind him shook and cracked. A small chunk of rock fell around him.

BUUUMM!

The monster charged towards Xiao Mao. But at the same time, Xiao Mao also charged towards the monster with a tiger kick. The clash of energies both caused the valley to be swept away by a burst of light along with rumbling sounds.

Shen Zhu watched the fight with a flat expression. Stand on one leg with one shoulder supported on the trunk of the tree while crossing. The tip of his leg is tied to the other instep.

"CHIAAAAAAAT!" Xiao Mao looked excited. Crashing here and there, grazing and bouncing while landing kicks eyeing the deadliest spots on the body of the hard-skinned monster.

It looks like they are playing around.

As a spiritual being bound by a blood covenant with Shen Zhu, the girl actually had equal power, because in principle, the blood covenant was to share life force and strength.

But it seemed that Xiao Mao was being a little relaxed.

"Xiao Mao," Shen Zhu reprimanded him with a gentle persuasion. "Don't you go long!"

"Good!" Xiao Mao leaped onto the monster stage, set one foot down to then reflect his body and calted in midair, then landed beside the beast lightly.

He extended his hand to the side with fingers forming claws, a few inches from the monster's neck. A jet of blood-red light shimmered from his palm in the form of a lightning rope that in an instant had already ambushed the neck of the monster beside him.

Then when the girl clenched her hand…

YOAAARRRR!

The monster snapped and fell tumbling like it was struck by lightning.

Shen Zhu extended his hand towards the valley with the fingers expanded. His storage ring lit up and illuminated the monster's body and sucked it into the ring. Then back to the cross.

Xiao Mao leaped up with a salto motion and landed on Shen Zhu's side in a half-squatting half-kneeling position, one leg landing on the knee while the other leg landed on the sole of the foot. Then looked up at Shen Zhu while smiling sideways.

Shen Zhu looked back at him while smiling faintly. Still fluttering with the position of standing tilted and cross-section. It could be said to be too relaxed.

"Don't forget my ration!" Xiao Mao reminded as he pulled up his body and approached towards Shen Zhu.

Xiao Mao puffed his cheeks and tailed behind him with a frown.

Shen Zhu leaped up onto his horse and stretched out his hand, hinting Xiao Mao to return to his arms as the little cat.

Xiao Mao stomped one foot while grumbling. "Why can't I be a girl?"

"Don't I hug?" threaten Shen Zhu, stay cool and flat.

Both Xiao Mao's eyes spontaneously rounded. "Hug?" pekiknya enthusiastic. "I like it!" he said as he leaped into Shen Zhu's arms, sitting slanted on Shen Zhu's thigh with both hands wriggling around his neck.

As a girl!

Shen Zhu spontaneously stammered and groaned. Then cringed and distanced his face while gritting his teeth. "As Xiao Mao!" his hiss in a stifled growl.

Xiao Mao means little cat.

Xiao Mao pursed his lips with a veiled look on his face. "Why did you turn boring after waking up from a coma?" gerutu in murmur.

Shen Zhu sighed heavily and fell silent. Looking into Xiao Mao's eyes with a glaring glare.

"Xiao Mao," he said after a moment of silence, then rubbed the top of Xiao Mao's head. "You can't be like this when you're human" he advises.

"Why?" mumbled Xiao Mao. "Bothering your breathing?"

Shen Zhu smiled amusedly. "Yes" he replied expressionlessly. "I've been suffering from respiratory distress since knowing your true form!"

"You are boring!" spray Xiao Mao while hitting Shen Zhu's chest with his fist.

Shen Zhu smiled faintly.

"What kind of situation is this?" Someone's baritone voice was teasing them.

Shen Zhu and Xiao Mao simultaneously turned to the source of the voice and found three men in monster hunter clothing standing not far from them, wearing animal skins and carrying sharp weapons. Arrows, spears and swords.

"Hiding in the dark, twosome in the woods at night, I smell the scandal of the nobility!" said one of them.

"And I kissed high pay!" other men's timpal.

"From that, I'm more interested in the woman!" another timpal.

"Don't try to fight with me!" attack the first man while sticking one hand to the side, blocking his partner.

"You came looking for the dead?" shen Zhu asked with a cold expression. "Say, what way do you want to die?"

The three men broke down.

"Sister!" Xiao Mao looked up at Shen Zhu with a pleading look. "Can I play?"

"No," Shen Zhu replied without distracting him from the three men. He jumped off his horse while carrying Xiao Mao, then lowered the girl and folded his hands back. Then it approached the three men.

The three men simultaneously unsheathed their respective weapons with an alert attitude.

"That's it," said Shen Zhu as he pulled out one arm and knowingly stood beside the first man, touching the man's forehead with his index and middle finger tips. "Cubery you. Death without hope!"

The man gasped and nodded. Then jerked and strangled with a stiff body that is already lifeless.

The other two men flinched backwards and were flabbergasted.

"Cube you..." Shen Zhu extended his hand towards the second man, then clenched his head. "Strict death!"

The second man was suddenly lifted a few inches off the ground with his neck choked by a string of sparkling red-colored light. The sword in his hand was thrown while both of his hands were raised to his neck, trying to snatch away something untouched to release it. Both of his legs scavenged the empty air with a strangle.

The last man shouted in fear as he turned around and scattered.

Shen Zhu swung his other hand, scattering the golden-coloured balls of light like a sprinkling of dandelion flowers towards the man. "Cubery you a painless death!" he kept a flat expression.

A second later, the two men were already sprawled without the light of life.

"It's very disturbing," Shen Zhu grumbled expressionlessly. Then turned around while crossing his arms again behind his body with a flat face.
