(It's from the perspective of a cat)
It has been quite some time since I ventured outside.
As the Cat Emperor of the Underground World, I am clever, agile, and righteous...
Yes, I possess all the excellent qualities that a feline creature should have, making me the most versatile orange cat in the world.
However, even the most perfect beings have their flaws, and the same applies to cats.
Although I can do things that no other cat can, I have a tiny, almost negligible flaw that has been exposed during this journey.
I still remember the purpose of embarking on this trip:
To find a suitable companion for my dear friend, Wang Xiaole, and travel to the beastman country to meet a cat-eared little loli.
During the long journey, I couldn't find any allies, and could only rely on my own wits and agility.
Objectively speaking:
I can handle most troubles alone, except for one thing:
Who can tell me where this deserted wilderness with birds chirping is? Why does it differ completely from the planned route?
If we don't consider the possibilities of "transmigration" that humans often talk about, or the possibility that I am dreaming right now, there is a 0.01% chance that...
I am unfortunately lost in an unfamiliar wilderness!
This is fate's way of teasing me, trying to weaken my determination.
I will not give up. Whatever I decide to do, I will accomplish it, and I must find that cat-eared loli.
"Hiss, hiss!"
An unusual sound came from the bushes, as if a dangerous creature was rapidly approaching.
The opponent is not simple.
You see, my paws have the ability to eliminate footsteps, which means that I can walk without making any sound.
Unfortunately, even in this stealthy state, the approaching dangerous creature can still sense my general direction.
It seems that I will be facing an unprecedented strong enemy.
In the blink of an eye, a long and bulky giant python emerged from the rustling debris of the grass, raising its large snake head.
"Hiss, hiss."
From that brief language, I sensed a hint of hunger.
Clearly, this snake is looking for food and appeared here to prevent itself from starving.
I can understand the survival instinct of these lower creatures, but I have no pity, after all:
"Meow, meow (Show some respect, I am not someone you can mess with)!"
I deemed it necessary to meow a few more times to let the stupid snake know whom it had provoked.
However, the snake spat out its snake tongue, responding in this manner:
"Hiss, hiss (I don't understand)!"
I understand the language of snakes, but the other party does not understand the feline language.
It's truly unfortunate when languages don't align.
The python and I immediately clashed on the scene.
It immediately twisted its thick snake body and lunged at me in a rolling motion.
It's been a while since I engaged in a full-blown battle, and it reignited a sense of valor that I had almost forgotten, igniting a boiling blood feeling.
In response, I pawed the ground and leapt, raising my other paw;
The sharp claws extended from my paw spiraled and headed straight for the gigantic snake's head.
The python opened its bloodthirsty mouth and attempted to bite me with its rows of teeth, colliding forcefully with the extended paw.
It fell for it!
My purpose has never been to confront brute force, but rather, as happened just now, to turn the sharp claws around and cut open the teeth that were dangerously close, causing several snake teeth to fall to the ground.
After knocking off some teeth, the undeterred claws can penetrate directly into the python's mouth.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble.
After the sound waves brought by the rumble dissipate, a bloody hole appears in the snake's mouth.
The snake's head immediately retaliates in intense pain, and with a flick it directly hits my unprepared body, causing it to fly backwards and collide with the surface of a large tree, causing a cascade of tree leaves to fall.
The counterattack before its imminent death is vicious enough!
Fortunately, I have enough body fat and this fur as a cushion, so I didn't perish together with that stupid snake.
The dying python inevitably topples backward and falls heavily to the ground.
The enormous snake body writhes, rolls, twists, and convulses in agonizing struggle, causing this area to be turned upside down;
But in the end, with time, it gradually stops moving and its vitality dissipates little by little.
In the moment when my opponent loses its life, I suddenly feel a violent shake in my body, and then my whole body goes numb.
The scenery in front of me instantly becomes blurry, and my consciousness gradually loses control.
This is definitely not a reaction caused by my body being injured, but rather I suddenly realize:
Since the moment my consciousness became blurry, I have gone six continuous hours without replenishing delicious food;
Combined with the long-lasting (twenty-six seconds) intense activity just now, the burden on my body has exceeded its limits and it is no longer possible to sustain it.
"Meow, meow, meow (fall)!"
Before falling deep into the grass, my eyes, with good vision, see a blurry petite figure extending a hand towards me slowly...
