Chapter 160 – Cat Dad Enters Secret Elevator
Seeing the extra stats, Xiaomao had an idea. He allocated all his points to the necessary attributes and spiritual roots. Then, he turned to the remaining storage rooms.
“Let’s find more treasure and food, munya!”
Taotie clicked his tongue, “I’m going to pick my food this time!”
“Nyahaha! Don’t eat humanoid meat, sir.”
“I know!”
.
30 minutes later, Xiaomao hummed. He walked out of the last storage room on this floor in a good mood. He had put on bone earrings that he had gotten from Torrent. He also put on a golden crown, which he had obtained from one of the storages.
The curses of these items did nothing to him. In addition, Xiaomao got to enjoy extra stats and perks like the cursed eye.
Taotie looked at the smug cat and snorted, “Are you done here?”
Xiaomao nodded, “Yes, munya! But first, we need to check the lowest floor.”
In one of the rooms, Xiaomao obtained found an artifact that was necessary for his future kingdom. He understood now why Mu-Nyang wanted him to visit this place.
Although he was done here, it wouldn’t hurt to check the boss’s room if there was anything useful.
Taotie sighed, “Fine. I’ll go with you.”
The cat and the monster lion left behind the storage rooms and walked down the stairs to the B5 floor.
.
On the ritual floor, nobody was around. The ritual circle was still there, but it lost all magic and effects because of the recent incident.
Xiaomao rushed to the altar, hoping to get something worthwhile behind it.
Meanwhile, Taotie sniffed as he could smell flesh and blood nearby. He turned to a dark corner and found a one-meter wide hole and traces of blood. He grinned and shapeshifted into a lion cub. Without telling Xiaomao, he jumped down.
By the time Xiaomao reached the altar, Taotie was gone. However, the former hadn’t realized it yet.
Behind the altar, there was a lever.
Xiaomao’s pupils expanded when he saw a weird lever. Not batting an eye, he pulled the lever.
RUMBLE
The entire floor shook, and the ritual magic circle was split in half. A section of the floor slowly sank and opened a path to a pit.
Xiaomao brought out a spare flying sword as Mimir took his primary one. He floated near the pit and looked down.
As soon as his eyes adapted to the dark, Xiaomao could see the disgusting scene in the pit. He averted his eyes and turned away.
“Nasty motherhumpers, munya!”
The pit was filled with militated human corpses. The only living creatures were billions of worms.
SCREECH!
A loud scream came from the bottom of the pit along with the nasty rotten smell. Xiaomao covered his nose and flew back to the stairs in disappointment.
RUMBLE
As Xiaomao was flying away, something exploded in the pit. The next moment, Taotie jumped up from the pit with 20-meter-long black centipedes in his mouth.
The centipede wiggled as if it was struggling for its life, but Taotie crushed it with his fangs.
Xiaomao managed to catch a glimpse of the centipede’s name and level.
Baby Pseudo Karma Centipede, Level 2,500
Xiaomao gulped. He wanted to ask Taotie if he could deliver a finishing blow for EXP and items, but the lion was fast with his mouth. He already killed and ate the centipede like how he ate a string of noodles.
“Are you done, kid?” Asked Taotie while he was chewing his snack.
“Err, yes, munya.”
“Good. I’m full now. Let’s get outta here and stock some seafood, yeah?”
“…”
Xiaomao and Taotie began backtracking to the library.
On the way to the B3, Xiaomao and Taotie returned to the corridor with hundreds of storage rooms. As they had looted and explored everything inside, they ignored the rooms and proceeded to the exit.
But when they reached the staircase, they stopped their feet.
In front of them, the staircase was blocked by red steel bars. They shone and emitted a strange aura, which intimidated Xiaomao.
Taotie narrowed his eyes. He recognized the aura.
“Stay away from the bars, kid. This is a soul domain spell.”
“Soul domain spell, munya?”
“When your cultivation reaches the nascent soul realm… I mean, when your level surpasses 700, you will be able to use domain abilities, depending on your beliefs and Dao. Anyway, to make it short, this is an upgraded domain ability that immortals like me can use. I think it’s from a five or six-stellar-star immortal.”
“???”
Xiaomao didn’t understand some of the terms, but he figured that the caster might be as strong as Taotie, judging from his tone, demeanor, and cautiousness.
Taotie pointed at the left wall, “Go through that wall. There’s a hidden passage there.”
“How did you know, munya?”
“I can also use soul domain. I can see further than you.”
“…”
Xiaomao turned to the left wall. It was a natural wall made of dirt, which looked normal at a glance. However, as Xiaomao focused, he noticed that the dirt wall had no scent, unlike the other sections of the other parts.
When Xiaomao was about to leave, Taotie sent him a request.
DING
<Taotie wishes to join your party. Will you accept?>
Xiaomao turned around. Taotie smirked and winked at him.
“I haven’t forgotten our deal. As promised, I’ll protect you until your level hits 1,000. Now, go. I’ll handle the pursuers.”
Xiaomao brightly smiled and accepted the request. A new name appeared in his party members.
“Don’t die, sir!”
“Pfft. Who do you think I am? I’m a fucking Mythical Fiend of Calamity and a former sage! I can’t possibly be killed by some upstart immortal!”
Taotie roared and transformed into a fiend once again. He glared into the dark, where the glowing white eyes were staring at him from the other side of the steel bars.
Xiaomao turned around and flew into the wall. He passed through the illusion of the dirt wall and entered a hidden corridor of the B4 floor.
.
TOK TOK
A curvy silhouette of a 150cm tall girl walked down the stairs. The sounds of her high heels and the stone stairs echoed and warned Taotie about his enemy.
Soon, the silhouette entered the dimly lit area. The torches on the wall illuminated the appearance of a young witch in a leotard and a pointy hat. Her tight stockings and long navy gloves matched her blue hair.
Taotie glanced at the name of the newcomer.
Yuan Hua, the Princess of Yuan Empire, Apostle of Pangu, Level 6,666
Taotie clicked his tongue. He wished that Mimir was here to help him.
“I should have fought that stupid baldy. Mimir picked the wrong foe and left me with an annoying brat.”
“Who are you calling brat, fiend?” Yuan Hua smirked. She raised her cane in front of her, and a hundred magic circles appeared as a hundred magic had been activated.
Yuan Hua solemnly muttered, “Surrender, fiend. You cannot defeat a goddess like me.”
“Pfft, you? A goddess? You haven’t even seen what a REAL GODDESS can do. Oh, right. You don’t even have a fragment of your previous life’s memory. My condolence.”
“Ha! Because you remember what you were in your previous life doesn’t make you superior to me with the creator’s blessing! This is your last chance! SURRENDER OR DIE!”
Taotie flickered his tongue in a lewd way, “Did you know that a virgin immortal’s purity can double the size of one’s dantian? How about you surrender, and I’ll spare you? If you insist on fighting, I’ll make sure to treasure your body after I plunder your virgin yin!”
“IMPUDENCE!”
A hundred spells were launched, and Taotie also opened his mouth.
“NIHIL!!”
.
Proceeding through the dark corridor for a while, Xiaomao found a small room at the end of the hallway.
Opening the door and entering the room, Xiaomao found an empty booth on the right side. On the left, small tents were open, and Xiaomao could see clean air beds, pillows, and folded white sheets.
Unfortunately, no one was there, but there was a signboard next to the stall.
Opening Time – 10.00 AM to 11.00 AM
This safe zone NPC was quite a lazy one. He only worked one hour a day!
Xiaomao shook his head as he felt pity. He could have gotten another upgrade material had the NPC been here. Unfortunately, he had to leave before the pursuers came for him.
The cat turned away from the stall and the series of tents. He looked at the opposite side of the room, where a modern elevator was.
Xiaomao pressed the button.
DING
The door was opened when Xiaomao pressed it.
Xiaomao got inside and looked at the panel. Then, he was surprised.
THERE WAS NO BUTTON!
‘How the hell do I operate this elevator?!’
Xiaomao’s tentacles latched on the steel panel, prying it open with brute force. However, it didn’t budge.
DING
The door was closed. At that moment, Xiaomao sweated profusely.
Since there was no button or lever to operate this thing, Xiaomao looked up. He ordered the flying sword to get closer to the ceiling and tried to unscrew the vent.
RUMBLE
Before Xiaomao could even start, the elevator moved by itself.
“Oh? Automatic elevator? How nice, munya!”
Xiaomao was relieved, but he also prepared for combat. He brought out his trusty staff and pointed at the elevator door, just in case he might have to fight his way out.
But as the elevator continued to move, Xiaomao, who was sitting on the flying sword, got pushed by the elevator door.
“Eh?”
The elevator didn’t move vertically. Instead, it was moving horizontally!
Xiaomao jumped off the sword and stood on the elevator floor, allowing it to transport him properly.
A few seconds later, it shook. Then, it began moving upward.
Xiaomao frowned as he couldn’t figure out how this elevator magically moved to the side and up without stopping. By the time Xiaomao realized it, it already reached its destination.
DING
The door was open.
Xiaomao didn’t forget to use the chameleon skill to hide his presence. He sneaked out of the elevator and looked around.
‘Huh?’
He found multiple bright high-class chandeliers on the ceiling. Walking further, Xiaomao sensed that his tentacles were walking on a fancy carpet.
In front of Xiaomao, a massive golden hall with roman pillars and walls with oil painting wallpapers dazzled him. Unique vases, statues, and weird plants stood on roman pedestals.
‘Isn’t this place…?’
Xiaomao found himself in the royal palace.
