Chapter 131: See the Civet Cat Again
Nan Mingcheng felt that the name sounded familiar, but that was all.
He shook his head. He saw that Shen Yijin seemed to want to find this person named Jingxuan, so he said, “I don’t know him. If I see him in the future, I will definitely tell you.”
Shen Yijin couldn't hide her disappointment. After learning from the original owner that the two worlds were merging, she felt that Jingxuan might have come here like him.
She thought that the Sword of Zhan Xie was given to Nan Mingcheng by Jing Xuan. Now it seems that becoming Nan Mingcheng's natal sword might have been the Sword of Zhan Xie's own choice.
"Can we talk about these things later? Isn't the most important thing for us to do now to find a way out?" Zhou Yu looked at the two speechlessly, "Didn't you notice that the oxygen here has become less?"
The entrance was blocked and they were trapped in an enclosed environment. If they didn't find an exit, they would be doomed once the oxygen ran out.
Zhou Yu had a strong sense of danger, and Shen Yijin only discovered this after being reminded by him.
She tried to calculate the location of the exit and found that the specific location of the exit was the same as the ghost girl's location, blocked by something. She tried several times but couldn't calculate it.
Chen Yijin spread his hands helplessly: "I can't figure out the exit, I can only walk inside and see."
After the electronic lock exploded twice in succession, the copper door was easily opened.
Shen Yijin attached spiritual power to his hands, gently pushed open the bronze door, and was stunned for two seconds when he saw the scene behind the door.
She actually saw the civet cat land thousands of years ago under the organic ranch.
Zhou Yu didn't sense any danger. He was the first to step through the gate. Seeing the cute stone cat statues everywhere, he opened his mouth in surprise: "These stone cat statues are so lifelike! They are all fat cats. I can't imagine if they were alive, how much fun they would be to pet!"
Zhou Yu himself has a cat, and seeing these stone statues of civet cats, his cat-stroking urge was aroused.
As soon as Shen Yijin came to her senses, she saw Zhou Yu fiddling with the stone statue of the civet cat, and she felt like she was going to be petrified.
"They seem to be real cats..." Nan Mingcheng walked up to a stone statue of a civet cat and observed it carefully. The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
No matter how skilled the stone carvers are, they cannot carve such fine cat hair.
The patterns can be carved out, but the cat hair suspended in the air, which has not been fixed with iron wire or steel needles, cannot be done even by the most skilled carver.
Nan Mingcheng had a guess that, rather than a carved stone statue, this was more like the cats staying in a certain moment and being petrified.
Zhou Yu's hand, which was still on the head of the stone statue of the civet cat, froze: "Are they all real cats? Who on earth is so cruel to turn living cats into stone statues!"
"Who else could it be? Whoever owns the organic ranch outside will do it." Chen Yijin found a familiar civet cat among the many stone statues.
Although the little civet cat no longer looked the same as when she first saw it, Shen Yijin still recognized it at first sight.
I don’t know when the civet cat clan was petrified and sealed, but now the little civet cat seems to have grown into an independent civet cat.
Shen Yijin shared some of the merits with the little civet cat, hoping to use this method to rescue the little civet cat.
This method was effective. The petrified parts of the little civet were reduced little by little, revealing first the fluffy cat ears and soft limbs, then the fluffy back and belly, and finally the cat's face with a serious expression.
When the rescued little civet saw someone in front of it, all its hair exploded. It retreated vigilantly, baring its teeth and threatening Shen Yijin to stay away.
"It's me, don't you recognize me?" Shen Yijin stepped back a little so that the little civet cat could see her appearance clearly.
The little civet paused, raised its head, and sniffed Shen Yijin's scent with its nose, while trying to recall when it had seen Shen Yijin's face.
A minute later, the little civet cat remembered. It jumped up, jumped into Shen Yijin's arms, and rubbed its head against Shen Yijin's chin.
Shen Yijin was still a little uncomfortable with the little civet suddenly becoming so affectionate.
She was at a loss, not daring to move at all, as stiff as a man who had no sense of romance.
Zhou Yu's eyes turned red with jealousy, he really wanted to switch places with Shen Yijin.
This cat looks like it's good to pet. If Shen Yijin doesn't want to pet it, just give him the chance. He is the best at petting cats and knows which moves can make the cat master so comfortable that he turns over on his belly!
The little civet rubbed against him for a while, then said aggrievedly: "Why did you come just now? I have been looking for you for a long time."
A question mark slowly appeared on Shen Yijin’s head.
What does the little civet have to do with her?
"Before the Civet Cats were petrified and sealed, the leader told us that you were the only one who could save us. Since that day, we have been waiting for you to appear. We have waited for hundreds of years for you to save us! Aren't we Civet Cats your best friends? How could you bear to wait so long to save us?"
Shen Yijin: …
When the little civet cat said this, Shen Yijin felt for a moment like a scumbag who took advantage of everything and walked away.
But she traveled through time to meet the civet cats a thousand years ago, and there was no overlap between her timeline and the civet cats' timeline for the next thousand years. It would be strange if she could rescue the civet cats in advance.
If they hadn't come to rescue the female ghost trapped in the experimental base and accidentally discovered the petrified civet cats, the civet cats would probably still be petrified here for hundreds of years.
Shen Yijin's scalp tingled at the look in the little civet cat's eyes, as if it was looking at a heartless man. She swallowed hard and forced a change of subject: "Where is your clan leader? I don't think I see him here."
There was a hint of sadness in the little civet's eyes: "The chieftain has died to protect us..."
A natural disaster destroyed the natural geographical advantages of the civet cats. The civet cats were exposed, and countless monks went up the mountain to catch civet cats. Some wanted to catch them and take them back as their own pets; some wanted to use the bones of civet cats to refine magical tools; some wanted to sell the civet cats at a high price to other monks in need and make a huge fortune...
The civet cat tribe was in imminent danger. The tribe leader used his heart's blood as a guide and prayed to the heavens to give the civet cats a glimmer of hope. The heavens only gave the civet cats one sentence in reply - let them wait for Shen Yijin to rescue them.
The leader of the civet cat tribe still remembered what Shen Yijin meant when she left, and knew that she would probably not come back.
But the way of heaven will not lie, and the leader of the civet cat tribe could only comfort his tribe members and flee with them while waiting for Shen Yijin's arrival.
Who would have thought that instead of waiting for Chen Yijin, Bei Lanshan arrived first.
After Hu Yunrong died, Bei Lanshan failed to find the civet cat clan hiding in the mountains. Now that the civet cat clan's location has been exposed, he can finally come to claim Hu Yunrong's bones.
The leader of the civet cat tribe told Bei Lanshan what Shen Yijin said, but Bei Lanshan went under the waterfall and did not find Hu Yunrong's skeleton.
In anger, Bei Lanshan killed the leader of the civet cat tribe and used forbidden techniques to petrify and seal the entire civet cat tribe.
