Moo... Moo!
Appi sighed with a headache as he listened to the incessant mooing of the cows that penetrated his diamond helmet.
He walked up the steps into the cave, pried open the clod of earth at the end to peek out, then turned and said:
"Old Deer, the Ender Dragon hasn't appeared for half an hour."
"They must be watching this place intently from the obsidian pillars..."
The old deer stood up from the herd, looked up at Api, and said:
“I counted. When we first came in, there were three Ender Dragons chasing us. But based on my identification of their characteristics, those three Ender Dragons changed at least twice during the chase, which means there are at least nine Ender Dragons here.”
She shook her head in confusion and continued:
"At a glance, this area doesn't seem very large. How can so many dragons live here at the same time?"
Api took a deep breath, and suddenly a bow and arrow appeared in his hand. He said:
"You have to eat one bite at a time, and kill monsters one by one. Each obsidian pillar has something that looks like an energy source. I'll go shoot them all down first!"
"Hey?!" Before the old deer could stop him, he saw Api dig through the clods of earth blocking his way and rush out.
She rushed to the cave entrance, looked at Appi running and launching projectiles across the open ground, and at the shadowy black dragon looming in the dark sky. She took a deep breath, stared at the Eye of Ender in her hand, and murmured softly:
"You say they're all fake, do you have any evidence?"
……
After the teleportation fluctuations slowly dissipated, you looked at your last remaining Meow Nubis and said seriously, "Wait until I finish teleporting, then you can start teleporting after a while, understand?"
[Nubis scratched her chin and nodded innocently, but when she saw you walking towards the portal, she couldn't help but say, "Um, Master..."]
You paused, turned to look at her large face that was so close to yours, and asked, "What's wrong?"
[MeowNubis hesitated for a moment before explaining, "I feel like I'm a little different from Mumu and the others..."]
[It turns out that Miaonubis, unlike Mumu and the others, doesn't retain vague memories of the past. At first, she didn't think much of it, but over the past few days, she's become increasingly worried about this issue.]
"I'm thinking, maybe it's because we specialize in soul magic that each of the separated soul fragments has developed its own independent consciousness, meow?"
MeowNubis lay on the ground, its long tail swaying slightly, and said worriedly:
"Or another possibility is that the main consciousness carrying the memories isn't this fragment of my soul, meow... No matter which possibility it is, I'm worried that after the fusion, my consciousness might be overwritten, meow..."
"Then let's go back and ask the other Meownubis?" Latis scratched his head, unable to come up with any good ideas.
"But what if, meow, what if we don't remember you, Master?" Meow Nubis sadly drooped its big face and suddenly pushed Latis to the ground.
"Alright, alright, we'll just not fuse then!" Latis said helplessly, pushing MeowNubis's head.
"At worst, I'll stay here a little longer and teach you all the knowledge about spells and stuff. That way, even without your fusion, you should be able to develop on your own to the point of defeating gods, right? Hey, Master Meow, why is your head so hot?"
"I don't know, meow... I just feel like I'll never have a chance to be alone with my owner again after we get back, meow..."
Nubis raised its head, gently propped itself up, and a very complicated expression of confusion appeared on its cat face.
Latis looked up at Meownubis, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He shouted:
"Master Meow, there are hearts popping out of your head!"
"Meow?" MeowNubis paused, looked up at the heart above its head, and exclaimed in realization:
"I see, meow! So I wanted to be trained by my master, meow!"
"What..." Latis stared wide-eyed as she watched as Meownubis's paws grabbed her and then moved closer to her furry face.
"Hey! Don't lick me! Your tongue has barbs!"
"Wow, I held my breath for two minutes! I'm amazing! Grandma Cat is so suffocating! Meow Master, give me a break!"
"Fine, fine, I can't stand you anymore..."
In the end, Latis was defeated by Meownubis's adorable big face.
"In any case, as the host, shouldn't we take the initiative?"
He stretched his body, walked up to MeowNubis, suddenly paused, and said:
"Then, shall I begin?"
Latis scratched his head, and, pushed by his agile long tail, raised his hands in surrender, saying:
"Okay, okay, stop rushing me, I'm coming, I'm coming!"
With that, he closed his eyes and rushed into the tight encirclement.
Chapter 127 A cat can be a catgirl, but it can never become a human.
When you emerge from the portal, you find them still waiting for you. Seeing you soaking wet, Pallas is astonished and asks, "Where did the water come from in that lava-filled place in the lower realm?"
You gave an awkward, dry laugh, using the excuse that "someone's a clean-cut, young, and incredibly tender man" to shut them up in silence.
They told you that after a week of recovery, they planned to return to the stars, doing nothing else but to carry out their revenge against the gods.
Although they have been scattered in various places in the lower realm in fragments over the past few decades, they have not lost their original power. And after gradually absorbing those fragmented memories, they may gain more insights, even surpassing their original level.
[After thinking for a moment, you introduced them to all the spell inscription methods you knew, and explained the principles of spells and runes. For some reason, you felt a bit like a half-elf preacher.]
[Mumu and the others were utterly astonished that such profound knowledge existed in this world. Their previous study of magic was entirely based on personal understanding, incapable of forming a knowledge system that could be taught like this. After listening to your teachings today, they instantly felt as if a door to a new world had opened before them!]
"No, I...we need to study this carefully..." Mu Mu, her face tense, held the magic rune encyclopedia you gave her and said to Can Can and Chong Chong, "This is a key. We must thoroughly study it. If these materials, after bearing the same amount of magic power, can produce completely different effects simply because of the different magic runes, that would be much faster than us researching techniques ourselves!"
"So, by modifying magic runes, one can create new techniques..." Insect murmured softly, forgetting to even hold down her hem. Grayish-white magic power emanated from her body, constantly shifting its shape in the air. "If I keep perfecting a magic rune, will a spell with the ultimate functionality emerge?"
Can Can fell into deep thought, subconsciously pinching the long gold chain on her wrist into pieces. She came back to her senses, and without caring, melted the gold chain back into a gold ingot. She said in a deep voice, "No, the best technique should be simple in structure, but extremely stable, enough to keep me at full power output."
“I discovered it a long time ago. It's probably because of the laws I gleaned from sunlight. Previously, when I output magic power, I always wasted a large portion of it, with less than half of it ultimately causing effective damage. But if this spell model could discipline my magic power, causing it to be entirely converted into effective damage…”
Looking at the three old women who had fallen into a state of frenzy, you scratched your head, walked over to Pallas, and asked, "Little Queen, what do you plan to do when you get back?"
Pallas hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "As a blocky being, I cannot practice magic in the main world. I can only return to the royal city to prepare for the possible changes the world may undergo."
[After thinking about it, I realize she's right. After all, she's not a lazy, unemployed person like you; she has to disguise herself even when she's just strolling down the street.]
"Strange, where did Meownubis go...?"
After everyone left, Latis looked at the portal that had collapsed at some point and scratched his head in confusion.
"Forget it, she's been around for years, she can't just be lost like that, can she? I'd better go back to the camp and check on the End Portal..."
You quickly returned to your camp. Looking at the automated farm now covered in wheat and the densely packed cattle and sheep in their enclosures, you felt a little overwhelmed. After a moment's hesitation, you opened the gate and said to the animals, "You're free now. Don't let any of that training or re-education haunt you. Just focus on breeding well."
You see several familiar cattle and sheep with expressions of terror on their faces. They let out a sad cry, squeezed through the fence gate, and ran away in an instant.
"What do you mean? Wasn't my rectal massage satisfying enough?" You rubbed your hands together in annoyance, glanced at the empty mine, and jumped back in.
After confirming that the End portal was still there without any movement, you frowned slightly, thinking, "Api and Old Deer are probably doomed. When Mumu and the others have some free time, I'll see if we can go to the End together to see if they're still there..."
As for you, it's not advisable to take that risk yet. You've confirmed that you're practically a blank slate in every dimensional journey, possessing little combat power aside from your talents. And after reflecting on the Ender Dragon's various mechanics, you realize that if the blocky creatures' health regeneration from eating doesn't work on you, you might very well die.
You sighed and walked heavily towards the mine exit. For some reason, a sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed you. You frowned, thinking, "This should be the eve of a major battle in the story. There shouldn't be any sudden danger, right...?"
However, when you stepped out of the mine and saw the nine Nubis cats crouching, sitting, or lying around you, your face suddenly turned deathly pale.
"Master, we've gone to look for them, meow!"
Nubis, the only cat wearing a collar, rubbed its face against Latis and shouted:
"Originally, I thought that since I had fulfilled my last wish, we might as well just merge like this. But after meeting them and talking about my experience, they actually became curious about me!"
"hiss……"
Latis wiped the cold sweat from his brow, took a deep breath, and paced back and forth a few times. He glanced at the Meownubis, whose heads were moving in unison with his, and whispered to his old cat:
"What did you say? Please don't tell me it's..."
"Of course it's about teacher training, meow!" MeowNubis said matter-of-factly.
"Master, you're so amazing, of course you have to tell them! Otherwise, after we're merged and lose consciousness, no cat will know! Wouldn't that be a huge loss, meow!"
"Hey! Even though these are all your fragments, this is still a bit too much of a pretense!" Latis couldn't help but complain. He pinched Meownubis's big face and calmly asked:
"So what exactly are you all here for? Just to watch? Let me tell you, animal performances are banned now, you have to buy tickets before you can watch..."
"No, Master!" MeowNubis grabbed Latis, rubbed it against his chest, and said:
"They just want to see that cat!"
"what?"
Latis paused for a moment, then gave a shy smile.
"It's not appropriate to do this in front of so many cats..."
You couldn't resist the black cat's temptation to expose its belly and beg for a kiss, so you let out a howl and pounced on it.
Although you're still a little rusty, you're gradually starting to experience the joy of being completely enveloped.
It's not just about one-dimensional pleasure; it's about exploring different squeezing effects no matter how you move.
For the first time ever, you feel as if you are swimming in an ocean of bliss with Brother Ox. In this moment, your will is united with his, and you suddenly understand everything. You are honored to be born as an ox.
Half an hour later, when you emerge from the sea, soaking wet, and look at the curled-up, panting Meownubis, you can't help but smile with pride.
Then you turn around and see the eight cat-like Nubis suddenly approaching. Startled, you take a step back and shout, "This...this isn't what we agreed on!"
The MeowNubis all looked away, saying awkwardly, "We...we can let you be our master too, Meow!"
You've had a long night. I wonder if, every time you emerge from your snorkeling adventures and breathe in the warm night air, you ever feel that your idea of throwing a silver party at the campsite just a few days ago was incredibly naive.
As dawn broke, you finally fell into a deep sleep. In your dream, a large-faced, upright-eared black cat chased you like a runaway husky. You tried to run, but couldn't escape. Finally, the black cat pounced on you and knocked you to the ground. You looked in horror at the wicked, checkmark-like smile on the cat's face and heard it whisper in your ear with doting affection, "Run away, my love..."
"I'm super!"
Latis jolted awake from his dream, touching his wildly beating heart, and swallowed hard, still shaken.
"Damn it, what kind of things did I dream about! Latis, Latis, I told you to look at less abstract memes, and now look what happened..."
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head, and muttered:
"Someone like me got attacked by the black cat. Why am I having such a strange dream, hmm?"
Latis rubbed his eyes, looked at the girl with upright ears resting on his lap, and couldn't help but shout:
