Such coordination has become quite adept in the past few days of operations.
CatDodo was protected in the middle by them, and seeing that several orcs kindly tucked the snake cub into their arms, she really felt like she was holding them back.
She was filled with anxiety, waiting for something to appear.
Surprisingly, the way the other party appeared was exceptionally astonishing...
The faint sounds came from all directions, growing clearer and clearer. It was all sensed by the cat, Duoduo, who subconsciously looked around.
At first it wasn't obvious, but as more of those things appeared, their shapes became more and more distinct, and one by one, scorpions that looked to be the size of small Pygmy beasts came.
They were clearly not orcs, but rather guards of the palace. They were numerous and immediately launched an attack from all sides upon their arrival, causing even CatDodo to gasp in surprise...
"Good heavens, you've become much more skilled." With those words, the leader sent a group of scorpions that had jumped over flying.
"Let us show them what we've got!" Several guards, emboldened, launched desperate attacks on the scorpion.
Compared to their more lively attack methods, the Serpent Barbarians appeared rather indifferent, sending several scorpions flying with a single punch. However, they still couldn't withstand the endless scorpion army that kept coming...
"This is troublesome, it seems like there's a lot of trouble."
Cat Duoduo didn't care about anything else and quickly rummaged through the bamboo basket.
Because of what happened earlier, the bamboo basket was much lighter, with fewer items inside. Even so, Maoduo still found a small bottle, a tinderbox, and a flint.
Her eyes lit up, and then someone called her name from not far away, "Cat Duoduo, danger!"
Cat Dodo suddenly looked up and saw several large scorpions attacking her, spitting out unsettling silk...
"No!"
Upon seeing this, the Serpent Rong instinctively rushed over to help.
The others did the same. However, they still underestimated CatDodo's fighting ability.
With a whoosh, flames instantly ignited, burning all the surrounding scorpions to black ash in an instant.
Once the fire was under control, they saw Dodo the cat, panting and looking quite uneasy.
She clutched her chest, still holding a wine bottle and a tinderbox in her hand, her face much paler, clearly having been quite frightened.
Even so, CatDodo reacted quickly: "Come with me right now!"
She gritted her teeth, led everyone in one direction, and used wine bottles and tinder to kill a group of scorpions and drive away another group...
In the end, she almost fell over.
She Rong ran over and carried her forward. After a lot of twists and turns, Mao Duoduo was about to vomit from being carried like that.
Fortunately, Lady Luck was on her side.
The road ahead is long, and everyone keeps running.
The leader, disregarding everything else, kept searching for a way to continue.
The sound of scorpions following behind kept echoing, making one's heart pound in their chest...
As soon as Snake Rong put her down, Cat Duoduo clutched her stomach, leaned against something, and was about to vomit. "This is really making me feel awful..."
But at that very moment, the spot she was pressing on automatically sank in.
A loud rumble rang out, and a door appeared automatically in front of them. CatDodo's eyes widened in disbelief. "What kind of luck is this?!"
"That's wonderful, let's go!" The leader praised CatDodo, and then watched as SnakeRong carried CatDodo away again.
The cat, who had just been smiling, suddenly looked gloomy again. This world is hopeless...
Almost as soon as everyone entered the passage, the mechanism door moved and closed.
The wall here still displays luminous pearls, but in terms of size, they are a whole level above the ones outside.
Because the passageway was somewhat narrow, Maoduo finally had the opportunity to move forward on her own. She walked forward cautiously, and no one dared to do anything rashly.
The passageway was peculiar; it seemed as if an unknown wind was whistling through it, making one's mind uneasy.
Cat Duoduo gritted her teeth and tried to touch the stone wall to move forward, but after a few steps, she stopped and subconsciously looked at the special marks on it under the light of the luminous pearl.
"Something feels off, like I've seen this place somewhere before..." Mao Duoduo squinted slightly, feeling that this place didn't seem like a beast world at all.
The marks on the wall seemed familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere before. One answer was about to emerge in my mind: sleep.
"What's wrong?" She Rong noticed Mao Duoduo's actions and paused.
“I’m curious about what’s on the wall,” CatDodo blurted out. “I must have seen it somewhere before.”
She spoke her last words very softly, entirely because her gaze was fixed on the marks on the wall, each stroke and line seemingly traceable.
Here's the problem: this shape alone makes it easy to guess its general meaning; it looks like oracle bone script!
Her eyes widened suddenly as she stared intently at the stone wall. The contents were too numerous for her to recognize entirely, but she had managed to identify a few characters through careful observation.
The words on it are—
"I think I know."
"Cat Duoduo suddenly said."
From the other people's perspective, Mao Duoduo stared strangely at the stone wall, his expression changing unpredictably, which made everyone a little worried.
But right after she said her last sentence, "I think I know," she suddenly clutched her head in pain, cried out in pain, and was about to faint.
"Duoduo!" She Rong reacted quickly, pulling the person into his arms.
He carefully examined the cat's condition, but he still couldn't be sure.
"Enough, you're useless in your current state. Listen to me, we need to find an exit as soon as possible, then we'll definitely be able to get her back to normal." The leader of the snake demon clan took the lead in making arrangements.
Naturally, everyone present tried to suppress their unease and began to take action.
It was quite obvious that this place was too mysterious and special; no matter how much they walked, they would inexplicably return to this place.
Again and again, by the time everyone realized what was happening, their minds were already filled with unease and fear.
"Chief, could there be something wrong here?"
"Never mind that, I must urge you to return as soon as possible! I will certainly protect your safety!"
...
Compared to the concerns and worries of others, She Rong held Mao Duoduo with a slightly tighter grip.
He murmured, "You won't get into trouble, right?"
The thought that Dodo might fall into a permanent coma stirred up a fierce and dark current in my heart, threatening to devour everything and destroy myself and the outside world...
"Cough cough." Suddenly, Maoduo started coughing, waking up drowsily.
