Chapter 323: The Vanishing Cat
When they first saw the eggshell house, Mengling was still a little happy, thinking that they would see a new cat again, but when they got closer, when they looked at the eggshell house, they found that it was already empty, not to mention kittens, and the floor was full of insects and mushrooms.
"Huh! How so? What about cats? ”
Dream Spirit trembled his long ears and rummaged around, but there was no trace of the cat.
Lin Yu glanced at the traces in the eggshell house, and finally shook his head.
"There's no need to look for it, there is no owner here at all, and looking at the situation inside the house, maybe the owner here has been away for a long time!"
"How so!"
Dream Spirit's ears couldn't help but droop down, hanging down on both sides of his body, looking listless.
"However, generally speaking, cats should not give up their nests easily, and the cats here are somewhat different from the cats outside.
So, Lin Yu took the dream spirit and began to search nearby.
In the place they had searched, there were no small mushrooms in sight, except for the glowing mushroom trees that were everywhere. Even the yellow mushrooms that led them to the eggshell house were nowhere to be seen.
"Is there any?"
"I didn't find it here."
Lin Yu searched for a week in the vicinity, and then he and Mengling rounded, and the two touched the information, but found nothing.
"Maybe the cat has already disappeared, let's take a break here for a while, just take advantage of this effort to help tidy up!"
"Hmmm! Well, maybe by the time we're done tidying up the house, the cats should show up! ”
So, Lin Yu took the dream spirit and began to pack things in the house.
They cleaned up the debris from the ground, and at the same time pulled out the mushrooms on the ground, driving away all the small insects that moved.
When Lin Yu threw away the garbage and began to sweep the floor, when he had just lifted a pile of wet and rotten grass, a rancid smell came to his face, and directly smoked the dream spirit at his feet to tears.
"Wow! It stinks, vomit! ”
The Dream Spirit straightened his ears, rushed out, and began to retch.
And Lin Yu hurriedly threw away the grass branch in his hand and turned his face away.
And when he grabbed it, under the hay, some moving maggots came out of it.
Looking at the disgusting bugs that kept wriggling, he felt a feeling of nausea for no reason.
There was also a rotten smell sticking to my hands, which was the smell of rotting after the hay was soaked, which was unappetizing.
However, the rancid smell under the hay was not quite right.
He endured his nausea, and got a little closer, but in the dim light, he couldn't see the contents clearly, and the tumbling maggots were stimulating his vision and nerves.
"Hmm! Master, it's disgusting, cats love cleanliness so much, how could they bury such a stinky thing here? ”
At this time, the dream spirit just reacted, endured the nausea, and walked back.
At a glance, it saw that Lin Yu was looking down at something on the ground, so it pricked up its ears, and a soft and bright light emanated from its body.
Lin Yu turned his head and glanced at it, so he asked.
"When did you start your body glowing?"
"I guess I ate a little bit of a cat mushroom skewer that day! I don't know why, but suddenly my ears glow! But the body doesn't. ”
The Dream Spirit's body is round, the fluff on its body is also very long, and many times, its two long, flexible and moving ears are much more present than itself.
Under the light of the dream spirit, Lin Yu finally saw clearly the corrupt and smelly places under the grass.
They were dark, damp stuff soaked with hay and soaked underneath, mixed with a lot of fluff and debris, but now they were all disrupted by maggots and gnawed into shape.
But Lin Yu could still see clearly what those things were left.
As soon as he figured things out, he got up and walked out of the house.
The Dream Spirit looked at it more, then followed on tiptoe.
"Master, what the hell is going on, your expression doesn't seem to be very good!"
Dream moved his ears and dispelled the light from above.
"Nothing, just feeling a little nauseous!"
He straightened up and said with his back to the Dream Spirit.
"Oh! It's a pity that the cat is not here, what should we do next? Do you want to rest here for a while, or are you in a hurry? ”
"I want to go to a place to see, and you can choose to come with me, or you can choose to stay here."
"Then I'll follow! I'm scared to stay here! ”
When Meng Ling heard this, he hurriedly jumped up, jumped on Lin Yu, and then climbed up to his shoulder, grabbing his clothes and not relaxing.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look!"
As he spoke, Lin Yu turned his head and walked in the direction of the collapse of a mushroom.
The mushroom bush in front of me, as if it had been damaged by something, had been squeezed out and destroyed, and now it was seriously deformed.
On the umbrella cover of the mushroom, there were still a few deep traces, Lin Yu took a look, and found that this thing seemed to be the scratch of some kind of animal.
Judging from the size of the traces, the size of this thing is not small at all.
Not only that, but in this area, there are traces of fighting on the ground, as well as scattered animal hair.
The stains of blood fell to the ground and could not be seen clearly, Lin Yu only asked about some unusual smell here.
"Master, you must have found something, tell me about it!"
"It's nothing, let's go over there!"
He pointed to a place where something was clearly passing by, and walked forward.
The farther away from the eggshell house, the more obvious the uneasiness in Lin Yu's heart became.
Looking at the increasingly dense footprints of beasts on the ground around him, a strong premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
That might already tell you something!
He looked at a collapsed and rotting mushroom on the ground, with a few scratches and mottled marks on the cap.
These are all similar to some kind of beast.
After all, in this vast underground world, in addition to cats, there are also some large predators that live here.
They do their part, and they don't easily provoke certain creatures.
But there is one, not necessarily!
When Lin Yu and the others came to a cave where all the surrounding mushrooms had been destroyed, the accumulation of white bones in front of them really startled the dream spirit on his shoulder.
"Woohoo! Master...... What the hell is this place, it's scary! The ground is full of bones! Will there be anything that eats people here? ”
"I'm afraid that the owner here will not only eat people, but also eat other things. Dream Spirit, if you're scared, just stay out there and wait for me here, and I'll meet the guys here for a while! ”
"The host...... I! ”
The Dream Spirit wanted to go with it, but it was too scared to face the creature inside, so it nodded, its long ears curled up, and it curled up in a corner with its body.
Seeing this, Lin Yu no longer stopped, but casually broke off a section of glowing ore from the surroundings, and strolled towards the entrance of the cave with his hand raised.
