Chapter 434 The Deadly Cat Town
‘Sure enough, as Philip said, Ms. Sigh will leave during this time...’
Chen Lun glanced around and found that there was no one here.
He was very fortunate that he got help from Philip and learned such secret information.
There was always a faint mysterious atmosphere lingering around, a slightly damp and cold atmosphere, which made him guess that it might be the trace left by Ms. Sigh.
'Only an hour, or even less...'
Chen Lun thought to himself that he couldn't waste time here, so he walked directly through the door of sleep.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, he felt an indescribable daze.
It seemed that at this moment, he forgot everything.
Who are you?
Where are you?
Where are you going?
All kinds of questions came to mind.
But his strong willpower immediately pulled back his self-awareness.
‘There is something evil about this door of sleep…’
Chen Lun looked back with lingering fear, then quickened his pace and walked forward.
Behind the Sleeping Door is a wider stone staircase, leading to the dark and profound place below. He held his breath and concentrated, always followed Philip's warning, and climbed the 700 steps step by step with slow and steady steps.
Finally, he noticed that the scene around him suddenly changed.
The steps disappeared.
The darkness disappeared.
The environment turned into a gray forest.
The yellow-brown soil underfoot exudes a fishy smell, and as far as the eye can see, there are tall trees one after another, with lush branches and leaves, blocking out the sky and the sun.
‘Natural forest…’
Chen Lun looked slightly startled, and immediately recognized the area he was in, which was exactly the same as the natural forest in the fairyland.
‘No, the natural forest in the dream world looks darker and more dilapidated, and the air is even more polluted! ’
He raised his hand, and in just a few seconds, his palm was covered with stains like ink dots, which were strange dust floating in the air. If you don't observe carefully, you may even not see it at all.
Chen Lun also noticed that his health was slowly decreasing, and he couldn't help but frowned.
'The environment in the dream world is too harsh. Philip has been trapped for many years. It is hard to imagine how he survived...'
He unfolded the extraordinary biological characteristic [Spiritual Breath], and gill-like slits appeared on the sides of his cheeks and neck. They opened and closed slightly to avoid inhaling the black dust, and his health no longer dropped. Chen Lun speculated that the dust had some kind of corruption and corrosive effects.
Chen Lun stepped forward cautiously.
Based on his experience in Wonderland, he avoided many dangerous areas and headed towards the small town of Kazite, just like the backboard of a game.
Chen Lun did not dare to touch the trees in the forest for fear of provoking those desolate giants... This was a real dream world, not a fairyland, and the level of danger could not even be compared.
'Compared with the Dream World, it can be said that the Fairyland is just a castrated version of the novice copy... The Dream World is a complete version of the Hell difficulty. ’
he thought.
Soon, Chen Lun came to the cobblestone path leading to the small town of Kazite without disturbing any polluting creatures.
'Philip told me that he placed the mythological knowledge of [Fate Sequence Four - Clown] on the white tower of Kazite Town... and Mr. Taut's sleep talking is also related to Kazite Town. Maybe He can be found there. ’
Thoughts flashed through Chen Lun's mind.
The cobblestones covered with black dust rustled under his feet, and he glanced at the road on the right. He couldn't help but think of the time when he met the black cat warrior Nada here in Wonderland.
At this moment.
Chen Lun suddenly saw a small black figure slowly walking out of the woods behind the trail, dragging a rusty and broken ax in his hand.
‘That answer? ’
He looked at the black cat walking upright and was quite surprised.
I didn’t expect to actually encounter it again!
It's just that the other person didn't look like what he had in mind. The originally shiny black hair was dull, even rough and gray, his left eye was droopy, as if he was blind, and his beard was ragged, giving him an old look.
"Na Da" raised his remaining eyes, and his originally cloudy eyes suddenly condensed.
After being silent for a few seconds, it said in a hoarse voice:
"Is this another human who accidentally got here? If you don't want to die, I advise you to go back the way you came..."
When Chen Lun saw this, he knew that the other party did not recognize him.
After all, I was only in contact with the "Nada" in the fairyland.
He slowly approached it with his silver cane, but the creature just stared at him silently. When the two sides were about ten meters apart, it swung the big ax in its hand and struck at him mercilessly!
when!
Chen Lun's silver cane accurately blocked the giant axe, making a crisp clang sound.
Its pupils shrank, and it turned around and ran away in the next second.
"That's the answer."
Chen Lun suddenly spoke.
The black cat's footsteps stopped for an instant. It slowly turned its head and looked at Chen Lun in disbelief.
"Why...you know my name?"
Its voice was dry and even slightly trembling.
"Because I've seen you."
Chen Lun said softly.
Seeing the confused look on the black cat's face, he sighed secretly and added:
"It was the cat god who asked me to come."
In order to gain the other party's trust as soon as possible, Chen Lun had to use Maggie's name.
"Cat God?!"
Nata was very surprised and shook his head repeatedly.
"The cat god has abandoned us, how...how could it be?!"
Chen Lun frowned calmly, but he showed a gentle smile on the surface.
"The cat god never abandons you."
He grabbed the handle of the axe, and in the next second, the rust spots on the giant ax fell off instantly, and strange words appeared one after another, emitting a dazzling light.
"Beloved! You are the favored one of the Cat God! You are finally here!"
Nada's mouth opened with a shocked expression.
Its only eye immediately shed tears, and it immediately began to choke and cry.
The Cat God's blessed weapon reacted violently, this is definitely God's favored one!
"What happened here? Can you tell me?"
Chen Lun asked softly.
Nata cried for a moment and his voice became smaller. Then he took a deep breath, raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"Lord Beloved, it's too late, everything is too late... The town of Kazite is gone. All the residents of Cat Town are dead, everyone is dead..."
Chen Lun was slightly startled.
He frowned and fell into silence.
This is completely different from the experience in Wonderland, where the town of Kazite is plagued by a wave of pollution, but the residents of Cat Town are still living well.
"I don't know from which day Cat Town could no longer resist the wave of pollution. In just a few days, the white cat clan was massacred. Even the High Priest Daye... turned into a pollution monster! We are the only ones living in exile. Very few of the black cat clan outside have survived.”
It was as if he had finally found someone to talk to and poured out the suppressed grief in his heart.
"I often think of my mission, which is to find a way out for my hometown, but now that my hometown is gone... we, the black cat clan, have no meaning to live anymore."
Chen Lun looked at its grief-stricken look and knew that the reason why it returned to this cobblestone path was probably to remember the past.
Sighing secretly, Chen Lun asked:
"Can you take me to your current settlement?"
Nada wiped away her tears and nodded gently.
"Please come with me, Lord Beloved."
It dragged the giant ax and walked towards the woods.
Chen Lun followed closely. After walking for about six or seven minutes, he saw several simple tents built on big rocks.
To his surprise, seven or eight old black cats were surrounding an old man beside the campfire, listening carefully to what he was saying.
The old man sitting in the middle has thin hair and wears a pair of tall glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looks thin and haggard, but his face is full of emotion when he speaks.
"Mr. Totter?"
Chen Lun made a sound in surprise.
"Huh?!"
Taote stopped talking and turned his head to look over, with a look of shock on his face.
"You...you are?"
There was thought in his eyes, but he looked like he couldn't remember.
"I used to be Mrs. Caroline's tenant, and I often went to your bookstore to read."
Chen Lun explained.
Only then did Taut suddenly realize.
"It turns out it's you! I didn't pay for my book before!"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the other party only remembered this incident.
Taut asked again with a puzzled look:
"Why are you so unlucky that you end up here?"
"I came here to rescue you because I received a request from Mrs. Caroline."
Chen Lun smiled.
"Get me out? Do you have a way?!"
Taote looked surprised, and his eyes even showed joy.
"Caroline asked you to come...she has me in her heart, hehe."
But soon, Taote changed his expression to look suspicious again.
"Do you have this ability?"
"Don't ask so many questions, Mr. Taut. I only ask if you want to return to the living world... You have been in a coma for a year. Mrs. Caroline has been frowning all day long, and she has become quite haggard for you."
Chen Lun shrugged and said lightly.
Taote's expression changed.
"Yes! Of course I do! I didn't expect that I was unconscious for so long... I thought only a few days had passed..."
After hearing Taote's words, Chen Lun realized that the dream world had a great influence on him, and it might have tampered with some aspects of time.
"Since you want to go back, please be patient and wait for me here for a while. I will take you back to the present world later."
Chen Lun said.
He immediately called Nada and asked about Mr. Taut.
"Mr. Taut is a human being we rescued in the Natural Forest... He is a poor man who accidentally fell into the dream world."
Nada said.
"He is very good at telling stories. The black cat warriors were all depressed because of the destruction of Kazite. Mr. Taut told us some human history, such as the process of civilization that was destroyed and then re-emerged. This made Everyone feels encouraged, we are all grateful to him, and he is deeply respected by everyone.”
"So that's it."
Chen Lun nodded.
He looked back at the campfire.
Those old black cats really respected Taut, and they just listened silently when he spoke, with gratitude and recognition in their eyes.
This can't help but make Chen Lun sigh, maybe this is the glorious reward of human nature.
Although Taote was just an ordinary person, his inner kindness allowed him to be rescued by the black cat and survive.
"Then answer, do you want to leave here? I can take you to the present world."
Chen Lun thought for a while and asked Black Cat.
Nata was very surprised. It was silent for a moment and then said hesitantly:
"Lord Beloved, it doesn't matter where we go... Without a hometown, we surviving black cats have no meaning to live. If it weren't for Mr. Taut's encouragement, we would even plan to enter the small town of Kazite. , make a final fight with the polluted creatures there.”
"Don't be so pessimistic. Well, the Cat God has never abandoned you, and the town of Katzite may not have been destroyed..."
Chen Lun comforted.
"Lord Beloved? What do you mean?"
That answer was very confusing.
Chen Lun thought for a while and decided to use unconventional means to save these black cats.
He stretched out his index finger and lightly touched Nada's forehead.
[You cast thought transmission on the target "Nada"! 】
【Will determination...】
[The target willpower is 48 points, your willpower is 82 points, the judgment is successful! 】
The familiar scene of Cat Town suddenly appeared in Nada's mind.
Countless white cats were walking on the streets of the town saying hello with smiles on their faces, the blacksmith was pounding the red metal embryo, the old cat was hawking fresh fruits, and the High Priest Daye and his guards were walking slowly on the red city wall. , causing a respectful call.
Nada's one eye shed tears again.
"It's them... they are the family members in my hometown."
"That's right, Kazite Town lives very well in another world. Trust me, I can take you there."
Chen Lun said in a deep voice.
No longer hesitating, he took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"Thank you, Lord Beloved, this must be the will of the Cat God! I will convey your will to the remaining brothers, I believe they will not refuse!"
Chen Lun hummed.
Immediately, he said hello to Nada, saying that he would return to Kazite Town and then return later to take them away.
After leaving this hidden settlement, Chen Lun walked non-stop along the cobblestone path.
Not for a moment.
He came to the stone bridge in front of the small town of Kazite.
But the statue of the cat god that originally stood at the head of the bridge had been destroyed and shattered into stones on the ground. Even the stone bridge was broken into two parts. The moat underneath was covered with cobblestone powder and the bones of countless cat creatures.
Only the ruins of the red city wall are left, stained with dark brown and black bloodstains and stains, making it look dilapidated and miserable.
Seeing this scene, Chen Lun suddenly had the illusion that "the wonderland and the dream world are like two world lines in parallel time and space."
He flew into the sky above the dead and silent town of Kazite.
Looking down from a bird's eye view, most of the buildings in Cat Town were collapsed and destroyed. Almost no complete buildings and decorations could be seen. Only small bones and dried blood could be seen everywhere.
Woo!
A shrill scream resounded in the center of the town.
Chen Lun looked over and saw a fat, ball-shaped pollution creature squirming on the broken stone square. The fur on its body is split, and only tortoise-colored tiger spots can be seen vaguely. There are dense cat legs under its body, but its head has several different cat faces sewn together.
He immediately guessed that this might be the contaminated High Priest of Cat Town, Daye.
'The strength is not weak, almost the physical fitness of a Sequence Five Transcendent...'
Chen Lun stopped in mid-air and sighed secretly.
‘Send it on its last journey. ’
He raised his hand and threw out a dozen magic flying cards.
*

*
Chen Lun popped out a ball of extraordinary flames, burning up the pool of flesh and blood directly in front of him.
Immediately, he arrived at the gate of the White Tower in the town with an expressionless face.
He raised his head and looked at it for a moment.
This white tower was originally a defense facility for the survival of the town of Kazite, and it was also a temple dedicated to the cat god. But at this moment, it has long been dim, and the originally white outer wall is covered with black dust and blood stains. dirt.
Chen Lun pushed open the door and walked up the spiral staircase.
In the attic on the highest floor, the Cat God's altar was gone, leaving only a messy scene.
He searched patiently for a while, and finally, guided by his intuition, he found an ancient book in the innermost corner.
Chen Lun patted the dust on it, and the title of the book was revealed on the cover——
"The Life of a Master Performer: Philip's Autobiography"
Looking at the title of this "saucy" book, he immediately confirmed that it was probably the mythological knowledge that Philip had left to him.
A prompt popped up on the panel, confirming that this was a mythical book.
Chen Lun's heart suddenly surged.
‘Finally, I have acquired the mythological knowledge of Destiny Sequence Four! ’(End of this chapter)
