131: Chapter 131 I have Egg Bro protecting me!

In the pitch-black seabed, Tang Ruan struggled desperately.

She grabbed a vine and activated her Supernatural Ability.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a voice in her mind saying: "Disappear... Let everything disappear..."

A sense of suffocation washed over her.

Tang Ruan pushed her Supernatural Ability.

The vines that had been tightly coiled around her rapidly withered in her hands.

Finally, they turned into a flat strip, released her, and sank to the seabed.

She had just... accelerated the aging of the vines...

There was no time to think; Tang Ruan swam quickly toward the surface.

In these five years, she had actually learned how to swim.

But the vines had pulled her too deep, and no matter how hard she swam, it seemed she would never reach the surface.

Due to a lack of oxygen, she began to feel dizzy, her heart rate accelerating...

In a trance, Tang Ruan felt something approaching her...

She turned her head.

She actually saw the whale from her dreams—the whale that was nothing but a skeleton—swimming toward her.

She used her last breath to swim to the shore.

She crawled to the foot of Beast God Mountain.

Her head was buzzing, and her consciousness was chaotic.

In her daze, she seemed to hear that voice again.

"Let everything disappear..."

She passed out.

The next second, something soft coiled around her waist again.

With a sudden jerk, it dragged her away.

"Crunch, crunch, munch, munch, munch... Crunch, crunch, munch, munch, munch..."

Tang Ruan opened her eyes slowly, then immediately closed them again.

How could there be such a bright cave?

It was as if someone had set up a searchlight above her head.

After Tang Ruan slowly adapted to the light, she looked around and discovered that the entire ceiling of the cave was actually one solid piece of crystal.

Not just the ceiling; the cave she was in seemed like a giant crystal that had been hollowed out.

"Ah!" she suddenly let out a low cry.

Not far from her, three sea beast corpses were lying scattered about.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that the surroundings were unusually quiet.

That's right, there had been a sound of something gnawing earlier.

Could it be that some monster had dragged her here to be used as emergency rations?

Was this the seabed?

If so, wouldn't her cry just now have attracted the monster's attention?

Tang Ruan prepared herself for a fight.

However, a few seconds later, the "Crunch, crunch, munch, munch, munch..." sound came again.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging by the sound, the monster must be eating next door.

She had to escape before it discovered her.

Tang Ruan walked to the cave entrance and looked around for a while.

Tiptoeing, she ran in the opposite direction of the sound.

Ten minutes later, she returned to where she started.

Damn it! It was a maze!

And she couldn't find a single exit!

So, was the monster guarding the entrance while eating?

Tang Ruan poked her head into the cave where the sound was coming from.

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

The monster was—a cat?

The reason she felt this black animal, which was twice her size, was a cat and not a leopard was because, judging by its body proportions, it was just a cat.

It was a chubby Jia Mao.

Its fluffy long tail, like a giant feather duster, swayed casually.

The "crunch, crunch" sound was it eating a giant crab.

After gnawing open the shell, it would bury its head and "munch, munch" away.

When it reached a spot with no meat, it would "crunch, crunch" open another piece of the shell.

Tang Ruan suddenly felt that this cat would be quite cute—if it weren't for the fact that it treated her as reserve food.

Suddenly, the "black cat" heard a commotion.

It quickly turned its face.

In its mouth, it was still holding a piece of a severed crab claw, and its large yellow eyes—it actually had four!

Two were of normal proportions, and two were located around where eyebrows would be, only one-tenth the size of the large eyes.

But Tang Ruan felt that those were its true eyes.

Because at this moment, those small eyes were slightly narrowed, looking at her threateningly.

The cat let out a "purr-purr" sound of threat.

Tang Ruan ran for her life.

In her panic, she rushed into a cave.

At the end of the room, there was a giant bird egg.

It's over!

It must be another monster's cave!

Tang Ruan just wanted to turn back.

Suddenly, she noticed the black cat was crouching at the entrance, its four eyes all narrowed, striking an attacking pose.

However, it never came inside.

Especially when Tang Ruan subconsciously hid behind that egg, it actually widened its eyes and showed a look of shock.

Could it be afraid of this egg?

Tang Ruan curled her index finger and tapped the giant egg—which was taller than her—"dang, dang" twice.

The black cat's fur stood on end instantly.

With a "Meow!" it disappeared.

Tang Ruan: ...

She guessed right.

The black cat was afraid of this egg, which proved that this egg's mother must be an even more formidable character.

She had to leave here quickly.

Tang Ruan walked to the cave entrance.

She suddenly discovered that the black cat was still there, just lying a bit further away.

It was over; she couldn't get out, and staying wasn't safe either.

She was doomed this time.

"Grumble..."

A sound came from Tang Ruan's stomach.

She hadn't eaten for a day and a night.

Even if she were to die, she couldn't die as a starving ghost!

Besides, without strength, how would she have a chance to escape?

Tang Ruan took out some materials from her space.

She set up a campfire on the spot and started roasting a lamb leg given to her by an orc N years ago.

As she sprinkled some seasonings, the aroma wafted everywhere.

"Grumble..."

A louder sound of hunger came.

It was the black cat outside; its stomach had growled.

Tang Ruan took a big bite of the lamb.

Her space had already formed an ecosystem.

As long as there was no danger in this cave, she could live here for a lifetime without starving to death.

But that black cat was different.

Sure enough, after a while, Tang Ruan heard the sound of the black cat scratching the wall.

It seemed very hungry.

But it was struggling—should it go back to gnaw on the crab, or stay here and wait for a rabbit to run into the tree?

After a while, there was no sound outside.

Tang Ruan poked her head out and looked left and right.

It really left!

She ran for her life, this time going in a direction she hadn't taken before.

She sprinted all the way, not knowing how long she had been running.

She only felt that the surrounding light was getting dimmer and dimmer.

Finally, she could only vaguely see an exit ahead.

"An exit!"

There seemed to be trees, too.

It wasn't the seabed!

So this was... Beast God Mountain?

Thinking of this possibility, Tang Ruan quickened her pace excitedly.

She had actually entered it, although she didn't know how.

However, she hadn't reached the exit yet when a bolt of lightning struck from nowhere.

It hit right beside her feet, and a hole immediately appeared on the ground.

Tang Ruan was so scared she jumped three feet high.

She suddenly wondered if the outside of the cave was also full of lightning.

Just as she was thinking this, two more bolts of lightning struck down.

She screamed while running wildly.

Forget it, let's get out first.

If she didn't see it, how would she know if it was dangerous or safe outside?

Finally, she ran to the exit.

She supported her knees with her hands, panting heavily.

Great, there was no lightning outside.

But it was pitch black.

She raised her head and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, a furry tail, thicker than her arm, hung down from above Tang Ruan's head.

Immediately after, four yellow eyes were hanging upside down in front of her.

"Ah!!!"

"Meow!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Tang Ruan threw four balls of light, all of which were nimbly dodged by the black cat.

It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced on her.

"Ahhhhh! I was wrong! I won't run anymore!"

"Meow! Meow, meow!"

The black cat's voice was full of triumph.

...

A moment later, Tang Ruan was hugging the egg tightly, as if she were holding onto her last straw of hope.

"Have... have the guts to come in!"

Tang Ruan glared at the black cat hatefully.

"Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!"

Although she couldn't understand what it was saying, Tang Ruan felt that it must be cursing very dirtily.

"Hmph! You still want to eat me? I have Brother Egg protecting me!"

As she said this, she stretched out her arm and tapped the pointed top of the eggshell twice.

The black cat's fur instantly stood on end, its tail stood up like an antenna, and its eyes widened like brass bells.

Just when Tang Ruan thought the black cat was furious and about to rush in, it suddenly let out a sharp scream, "Meow!"

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in front of Tang Ruan.

And Tang Ruan felt that the egg under her hand seemed to have been cracked by her tapping...
