Chapter 1307: It’s Finally Dead

Seeing the battle turn a little strenuous for the cat, Lin Qiao followed the thought in her head and drew her gun again before shooting at the rock monster’s neck.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A few bullets sank into the rock monster’s neck in a row and exploded. Its strong neck was actually broken by the bullets.

Boom! With that, the creature’s enormous body fell to the ground and landed by the edge of the lava pool.

Lin Qiao was a little stunned. She made a guess about what the big cat wanted her to do but wasn’t expecting it to be right.

Seeing the rock creature’s neck, which was as thick as a large water tank, be broken by a few bullets, Lin Qiao couldn’t believe that the big cat had really pointed at the creature’s neck to tell her to fire the gun.

The cat was a little too smart! Lin Qiao knew that all level seven and eight mutated creatures could be smart, but the big cat seemed to be smarter than she could imagine! Maybe she was wrong, but she felt that in comparison with the cat, Strong even seemed a little silly!

Woosh! There was a large flat area by the lava pool. The big cat jumped andlanded there, putting the rock creature’s head on the ground and then lowering its head as it started biting while wagging its tail, causing a loud cracking noise.

After taking a glance at the rock monster’s body, which had fallen near the lava pool, Lin Qiao narrowed her eyes to observe those flowers. She found a sphere of fire energy inside each flower, like what she saw at first.

While the big cat pressed the creature’s head with a forepaw and bit it, Lin Qiao landed near the creature’s body to give a closer look at those flowers.

The fire on the petals had died, as the rock monster was dead and the source of energy was gone. The vivid dark-red flowers had now turned black, and the sharp white thorns had become like straws.

The flowers became wrinkly, seemingly withered, and a little like a rock. Only in the hole in the middle of each flower existed an energy sphere.

Lin Qiao raised arm and swung her claw toward the nearest flower, which was immediately cut off by her sharp claws.

Thud! The dried flower fell on the ground and created a muffled sound.

Lin Qiao jumped off the creature’s body. The rock near the lava pool was scorching hot, but her boots were thankfully made from special heat-proof materials.

She walked to the rock flower that she cut off and raised a foot to step on it.

Crack! Following the noise, the flower shattered under her foot. It actually shattered!

Lin Qiao froze for a moment before putting her foot down. She wasn’t expecting the flower to be so fragile. It broke into pieces so easily under her foot.

In the middle of the shattered flower was a red piece of crystal. The irregular shaped crystal didn’t contain the monster’s energy, only the fire energy from the lava.

“Eh? This is unexpected!” Lin Qiao picked up the crystal and gave it a look as she said with surprise.

She put the crystal on her palm and spent a short while sensing the energy inside it. Only after that did she put the crystal into her space and turned to collect the other flower crystals. Sadly, a few flowers fell into the lava, and she couldn’t fetch them.

Lin Qiao collected nine fire-power crystals and threw them all into her space.

“Pah!” At that point, the big cat finally crushed the rock creature’s head with its teeth. It spat with dislike before widely opening its mouth and quickly shaking its head.

Lin Qiao watched the cat fumble through the broken head of the rock monster with a paw while shaking its head with its tongue hanging out of its mouth. A purple-red, diamond-shaped piece of crystal rolled out of the creature’s head. That crystal was much larger than the ones that Lin Qiao collected before. It was as large as the fist of an adult, glowing with a dazzling purple-red light, looking stunning but very dangerous.

In the next second, the big cat rolled the crystal, which was glowing with a beautiful light, with its tongue and swallowed it. After that, it licked its mouth with its tongue and wagged its tail as it sat down on the burning hot ground. It put its forepaws and middle-paws before its body, looking at Lin Qiao while blinking its pair of large, round eyes.

“Are you playing cute-pet with me?” Lin Qiao said to the cat.

“Meow…” The big cat opened its mouth and let out a soft voice.

Lin Qiao looked at the cat speechlessly. After a few seconds of silence, she gave the cat a roar.

“Roar!”

“Meow! Owooo!” The cat immediately responded to her. Its voice was not only soft, but also gentle.

Lin Qiao raised her brows, “Eh? No way? Do you like to hear me roar?”

“Meow!” The cat meowed at her again with confusion.

“Alright,” Lin Qiao sighed, “I guess you like hearing me talk to you with zombie language, but it’s not the time to talk now. Let’s go! Some other people are coming here!”

After saying that, she leaped toward the tunnel which Duan Juan, Kong Qingming, and the others had walked into. After entering the tunnel, she quickly disappeared, leaving the big cat behind. She believed that since the cat wanted to follow her, it would certainly find a way to stay close with her in secret.

Huaxia people were approaching her at the moment. She could not let those people find out the friendly relationship between herself and the cat.

“Meowoooo?” Watching Lin Qiao flash into the tunnel and leave, the big cat quickly stood up and confusedly glanced at the tunnel. Then, it turned to look at the entrance of the cave, where Lin Qiao and her people came in through. Some other scents and vibes were sensed from that area.

The six-footed cat leaped nimbly toward the cave roof and soon disappeared from the cave, leaving the dead creature’s body, which looked like a giant piece of rock, by the side of the lava pool. The creature’s body had turned into a real rock already. No one would be able to tell that it used to be a highly aggressive living creature.

About ten minutes later, another group of people entered the cave through the entrance that Lin Qiao and her people came in from.

Xie Longyun stood by the entrance of the cave and carefully observed the cave. She had taken off all the unnecessary clothes and tied her long, curly hair up behind her head. Currently, she was only wearing an army-green top that could only cover her chest, and a pair of shorts, with her slim waist and tempting thighs exposed. As usual, the rest of her legs were wrapped in over-knee boots.

She wore all kinds of guns on her waist, arms, thighs, even lower legs.

After looking around the edge of the lava pool, she said to her people slowly, “There are signs of a struggle!”
