"Cat Boss..."

Looking at the photo on the photo pendant, Xu Ran fell silent for a while.

After thoroughly washing and caring for the cat boss, he is naturally no stranger to the physical characteristics of the cat boss.

Even if they are both angry cats, the differences between different individuals are very large.

Therefore, he can be sure that this angry war cat must be the cat boss.

Then the identity of the strange man standing in front of it is about to be revealed.

He is the cat boss, the fallen beast master.

Xu Ran didn't take the initiative to explore the matter of the cat boss's former beast master, but through the few words that Zhang Henian occasionally mentioned, he also learned something.

The cat boss's beast master is not a commander-level beast master, but an elite level.

The cat boss, who had never lost the Beast Master, stayed at the level of Elite Consummation for a long time, but he could not continue to break through because of the power of the second-order contract.

During a mission out of the city, the Cat Boss's Beast Master and several other members of the association encountered a sudden attack by the beast tide, and in order to cover his companions, the Cat Boss's Beast Master took the lead and was finally killed.

Another post-contract pet beast fell with him, while the cat boss who had made an earlier contract with the cat boss's beastmaster survived.

It's not that the cat boss is greedy for life and afraid of death, but that his beast master is deliberate.

At the moment when the Beast Master fell, the cat boss was no longer shackled, and instantly broke through the Commander Rank, burst out with more powerful power, tore a hole in the beast tide, and walked out alive with the other Beast Master.

Among these beast masters, there is Zhang Henian.

Since then, the cat boss who lost the beast master wandered alone in Qingzhou City and became the boss of the wandering pet beasts in Qingzhou City.

The cat boss's biggest regret is that he failed to recover the body of his beast master in the chaotic beast tide.

And now, Xu Ran seems to have found it.

Taking a deep look at the unrecognizable messy corpse pile in front of him, Xu Ran knew that it was impossible to bring back the corpse of the cat boss beast master.

But at least, he can do what he can.

"Cancan, dig a pit and bury them together."

"Cha~" (Understood!) ）

Although he didn't know what the pendant in Xu Ran's hand meant, seeing the scene in front of him, Cancan, who had just been born not long ago, also suffered a lot of impact on his heart, and he was in a lot of mood at the moment.

It nodded obediently, then slapped its claws on the ground.

The majestic earth power surged, and the earth quickly caved down, like a large bowl containing the corpses, and the soil on the back edge quickly spread to the middle, completely covering the corpses under the earth.

As an earth-based pet beast, such a method is too simple for Cancan.

"You go and see if there's anything good, and when we're out, it's time for us to go back to the city." Xu Ran carefully wiped the photo pendant with the corner of his clothes and spoke softly.

"Meow~" (I'll go.) ）

Ziyun's interest also became low because of the episode just now, and its figure disappeared in a flash, taking away the eye-catching things as quickly as possible, and returning to Xu Ran's side after a few breaths.

"Let's go back." Xu Ran turned over and rode on Xingchen's broad shoulders, picked up Ziyun and Cancan, and quietly lost his trace in the dark night.

——

"Chirp~"

In another area outside the city, a small, round, fluffy guy about the size of a football paced in swing.

Its white feathers shimmered in the moonlight, and its small wings, which did not match its proportions, flapped twice occasionally, helping it to jump between the rocks with ease.

It took a lot of effort, and the little guy finally stepped on the top of the rocks.

Its eyes, which were still bright and blue as the ocean, even in the night, were as deep as the ocean, and there was a human and proud color.

With a little trick, it will take all the nasty guys who want to get it back!

It curled its paws slightly, looking at a city looming at the end of the horizon.

Is that where the human beast master lives?

Abba always says that humans are dangerous, so he doesn't believe it!

Check it out!

"Roar!!"

A roar interrupted the little one's thoughts.

It turned its head to look, and soon saw a red male lion with a strength far exceeding that of the ordinary elite rank, with a body of ten meters, rushing towards it at a rapid pace, with an anxious look in his eyes.

Looking at this familiar guy, a little boredom and impatience appeared in the little guy's eyes.

"Chirp~"

A crisp chirp pierced the deep night, its ocean-blue eyes glittering like two sapphires in the darkness, staring away at the wild transcendent creatures that were chasing it.

"Boom !!"

The powerful transcendent creature that was still running wildly one second fell to the ground with a drunken expression and a slow breathing, as if it had fallen into a wonderful dream.

The little one twitched his round little head in satisfaction.

It is the only genius in the clan who has reached the full moon level proficiency at the elite level.

Want to catch it? Save it!

With a cheer in the moonlight, the little one fluttered his fat little wings and fell from the top of the pile of stones, and swaggered in the direction of the city he had seen before.

——

"You wait for me in the store, I'll go out first."

As soon as dawn came, entering Qingzhou City against the crowd of people leaving the city, Xu Ran exchanged the resources scavenged from the two powerful elite ranks in the Beastmaster Association, and after earning a small amount of Beastmaster points, he returned to the store with the three small ones and admonished.

"Meow?" (Do you need me to come with you?) ）

Ziyun's eyes blinked, revealing an inquiring expression.

"Nope." Xu Ran shook his head slightly and touched the pocket on his chest, "Just give it back to the cat boss, on such an occasion, I'll go alone." ”

Ziyun showed a thoughtful look and moved his head.

After settling the three little ones, Xu Ran didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.

Looking at his departing figure, Cancan finally couldn't hold back and asked the doubts that had been held in his heart along the way.

"Cha?" (Who is the cat boss?) ）

"Sigh~" (It's a long story...) ）

The star hissed under his breath and began to slowly tell the story of his full involvement.

Hearing that the beast master of the cat boss was dead, and they had just found that what Xu Ranzhen put in his breast pocket might be the relic of the other party, a look of sympathy quickly appeared in Cancan's eyes.

Woo woo, the cat boss is so miserable!

When Xingchen finished telling the story, Chancan raised a paw to wipe his tears and raised a soul question.

"Cha?" (Sister Ziyun is a cat, is the cat boss the boss the eldest sister?) ）

Ziyun: (ω)——

"Cat Boss!"

Skillfully walking through the streets and alleys, to a secluded neighborhood that had long been deserted and idle, Xu Ran walked into the depths of the alley and shouted.

Hearing his movements, there was a "rustling" sound in the alleyway, and soon extraordinary creatures of different shapes appeared.

The atmosphere in the arena only froze for a moment, and then quickly warmed up.

Every stray pet beast here has been washed by Xu Ran.

Compared to the past, the number of stray pet beasts has decreased significantly, but not every stray pet animal is willing to re-contract with humans.

It's hard to get rid of them completely.

With the right guidance, they have become friendly to humans, and the Beast Master Guild simply let it go.

"Long time no see." Xu Ran casually waved his hand at the stray pet beasts, "What about the cat boss?" ”

The stray pet beasts didn't make a sound, just looked behind Xu Ran.

"Meow~"

The voice of the cat boss came from behind Xu Ran.

"Huh?" Xu Ran turned his head and looked at the cat boss who was carrying a sack of food, with a little more smile on his face, "Why are you going to find food for them?" ”

"Meow~"

The cat boss nodded, opened the sack in front of Xu Ran, took out the food suitable for various pet beasts, and distributed it to the stray pet beasts who gathered around one by one.

Soon, the stray pet beasts that had obtained food left separately, and the cat boss rummaged through the sack that had become a little empty from before, and found a bag of food and handed it to Xu Ran.

"Am I got my share too?"

Xu Ran was dumbfounded, took it and took a look, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It wasn't pet food, it was a bag of fragrant bread that had just been baked for a short time.

"I just haven't had breakfast yet." Xu Ran opened the bag, took a bite, and asked a little vaguely, "How can you buy human food?" ”

"Meow~"

With a little smile in his eyes, the cat boss took out another bag of the same bread from the sack, opened it skillfully, and sat next to Xu Ran to eat.

Looking at the movements of the cat boss, Xu Ran understood.

It was bought for it to eat for itself, and when he came over, he gave him one.

It's just that such ordinary food can only satisfy the mouth addiction for the cat boss who is already a leader level, and he can't eat enough at all, right?

Xu Ran chewed the sweet bread in his mouth, and his chewing movements suddenly slowed down, and then stopped.

He thought of a possibility.

Turning his head, Xu Ran saw that the cat boss raised his head slightly and looked at the sky, he ate bread one bite after another, with a look of remembrance and longing in his eyes.

Really.

Xu Ran showed a clear expression and continued to chew the bread in his mouth, "In the past, would your beast master take you to eat this kind of bread?" ”

The cat boss glanced at Xu Ran and nodded slightly.

"Meow~"

The color of memory in its eyes was a little thicker.

Different races of transcendent creatures, with different racial traits.

Some races are jealous, some races are lazy.

While this does not mean that this is true for all individuals of the race, it is the common denominator for most people.

And the trait of the Raging Cat race is gluttony.

He was once still at the Transcendent Level, and when he had just made a contract with his Beast Master, the cat boss was interested in all kinds of food, and wanted to try anything.

Even if the Beastmaster provides it with enough pet food every day, it will still be interested in the Beastmaster's usual food.

At that time, the beast master only had one pet beast, and in order to satisfy it, all the food would be made for two people, one of which was prepared for it.

Every morning, the Beastmaster would buy bread at a bakery close to his home, two at a time, one for himself and one for the cat.

From being a student to becoming a member of the Beast Master Guild, this habit has always been retained.

So when he wanted to be a beast master, he would go to the bakery and buy two loaves of bread, one to eat for himself and one to keep, until it was almost rotten, and then he would be reluctant to eat it.

And the owner of that bakery is no stranger to the cat boss, even if the cat boss's beast master falls, he will greet the cat boss in a friendly way, and personally select the two freshest bread that has just been made and give it to the cat boss.

One person and one pet ate the bread in their hands in silence.

"The bread was delicious." Xu Ran sorted out the bag and threw it in the garbage basket next to him, "How are you doing lately?" ”

"Meow~"

The cat boss also skillfully threw the bag into the garbage basket, and after hearing Xu Ran's inquiry, he vigorously puffed up his strong muscles, showing his strong strength, and saying that he was all right.

"That's good." Xu Ran smiled.

Both physically and mentally, the cat boss is in very good shape.

"Yesterday, I went on a trip outside the city."

As Xu Ran's words fell, the smile on the cat boss's face narrowed a little.

Outside the city...

A hint of uncertainty flashed in its eyes.

It hasn't been out of town for a long, long time.

The wild transcendent creature that killed its Beastmaster had already taken revenge on it when it broke through the Commander Rank.

The body of the Beastmaster, when it returned to the area again, was completely gone.

The area outside the city where he once lived day and night is now nothing to be nostalgic for, only painful memories.

It glanced at Xu Ran.

It seems that Xu Ran did not encounter danger when he went out of the city this time.

That's enough.

Just as the old cat's brain was in the sea, Xu Ran suddenly spoke, "Do you have any impression of a crow with a black flame burning all over his body?" ”

"Meow?"

Black Flame? Crow?

The cat boss's eyes suddenly sharpened.

The powerful fighting force erupted uncontrollably from its body, causing the surrounding air to instantly freeze.

It can't forget the night flame crow that commanded the beasts in the midst of the beast tide that day.

It can't forget the humanized mocking eyes of the other party when it broke through the Commander Rank and wanted to fight for its life, but was intercepted by countless elite-level transcendent creatures!

"Don't be nervous, it's dead." Xu Ran spoke softly.

"I killed you."

"Meow?"

He's dead?

The cat boss's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Ran in astonishment.

Immediately afterward, it seemed to have some kind of vague guess, and a look of excitement and apprehension appeared in its eyes.

"That's all I found." Xu Ran lifted one of the cat boss's paws and gently placed the photo pendant in the palm of his paw, "You put it away." ”

Looking at the familiar pendant in front of him, the cat boss was silent.

It slowly leaned the pendant closer and sniffed at the remnants of the breath on it, as if to discern the Beastmaster's breath.

After a while, it clutched the photo pendant tightly, its wide, powerful claws resting on its face, and large tears slipped from the hair on its cheeks.

"Meow~"

A low whimper, echoing through the alleyway.

Xu Ran sighed in his heart and turned to leave.

At this time, it is better to let it be quiet alone.
