Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

"You're looking for death! You dare to launch a sneak attack!"

At the critical moment, Bai Tang suddenly threw the Bell of Justice. The bell drew a golden arc in the air and hit the mechanical spider's head heavily.

With a loud "bang", the spider was knocked off course and hit the metal fence, making a harsh friction sound.

"Sister Azi, hurry up!"

Bai Tang shouted, his face full of anxiety and determination.

"Um!"

Mo Zi gritted his teeth and quickly pointed his fingertips at the last symbol.

"boom……"

In an instant, the entire cave was filled with light, and the runes on the metal fences flashed wildly. Then, the cold fences slowly began to sink.

"boom……"

But the crisis was not over. The ground shook more violently, and large areas of the cave roof began to collapse, sending huge rocks crashing down like cannonballs.

"Run to the exit!"

Dafei shouted while using his arms to protect Baitang beside him.

"Oh, I really regret it. I don't even want to take this mission anymore!"

The cats ran desperately in the flying rubble, with the collapsing ground and billowing smoke and dust behind them.

"Great, we're almost out..."

Finally, they saw the faint light at the exit of the cave.

"What? Why is there another one? What's going on with the Bu Sect? Where do all these machines come from? This isn't the Shou Sect!"

Just when everyone thought they were about to escape, a huge mechanical spider suddenly drilled in from the exit. Its body almost blocked the entire exit. Its eight legs scratched deep marks on the ground, and spurted out blazing flames from its mouth.

"How can we get through this?"

Bai Tang shouted in despair.

Mo Zi thought quickly and danced the ice fan in his hand quickly, instantly condensing an ice shield in front of him, temporarily blocking the flame attack.

"Everyone, attack its leg joints. That's its weak point!"

Mo Zi gave orders loudly.

"If you can't get out, then don't get out. I'll fight you!"

Bai Tang rushed forward first, and the Bell of Justice burst out with dazzling golden light, smashing hard into the mechanical spider's leg.

Da Fei put all his strength into punching the spider's joints, and each punch made the spider's body tremble slightly.

"Da Fei, cover me!"

Wu Song was not to be outdone. He nimbly moved between the spider's attacks, constantly stabbing at the joints with the weapon in his hand.

"Click..."

Under the continuous attacks of the cats, cracks began to appear on the mechanical spider's legs.

With a loud bang, one of its legs snapped, and its huge body lost its balance and tilted to one side. The cats took the opportunity to launch another round of fierce attacks.

Finally, the mechanical spider could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Don't rest, get out now..."

The cats didn't even have time to catch their breath as they quickly rushed out from the gap created by the fallen spider.

As soon as they ran out of the cave, they heard a deafening roar behind them, and the entire cave collapsed completely behind them.

"Huh~ I finally got out! This was so dangerous!"

Everyone collapsed on the ground, looking at the rising dust, their hearts filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster.

"We...we succeeded?"

Bai Tang gasped, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"Well, it worked."

Mo Zi smiled and nodded. Although her face was full of fatigue, she could not hide her relief.

"Uh-huh——"

However, misfortunes came one after another. Mo Zi's face suddenly turned pale, and the power of Mo Yun in her body began to backfire without warning. She felt a sharp pain coming from deep in her meridians, her legs softened, and she suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Sister! What's wrong with you?"

Xiaoqing was closest to Mo Zi. She rushed over, held Mo Zi's arm firmly with both hands, and shouted anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

"Sister A Zi, you..."

Upon hearing this, the cats gathered around immediately.

Bai Tang's face was full of concern. He stepped forward and asked:

"Sister A Zi, what's wrong with you?"

"Uh……"

Mo Zi bit her lower lip tightly, endured the pain, shook her head gently, and said in a weak but calm voice:

"It's okay. Maybe I overexerted myself before. I just need to rest."

In fact, she knew in her heart that the backlash of Mo Yun's power was becoming more frequent and severe. If a solution was not found as soon as possible, it would become a big problem in the future.

"elder brother……"

But at this moment, she didn't want to make her companions worry about her, and she didn't want to delay the treasure hunt because of her.

"Woooooooo..."

Just when everyone was worried about Mo Zi's condition, the remains of the mechanical spider that was knocked to the ground suddenly made a violent electric sound. After the lights on its body flashed a few times, it actually established some strange connection with the metal fence.

……

"Fortunately, we found a passage that we can go in again..."

"Bai Tang, you're quite smart. I didn't expect you to have such observation skills..."

Just as they were happily coming in from another way.

The runes on the metal fence began to flash in the opposite direction, and the fence slowly sank and gradually disappeared into the ground.

"It seems the mechanism of this fence is related to this mechanical spider. Defeat it and the mechanism will be disarmed!"

Mo Zi suppressed his discomfort and suddenly realized.

"Now, can we open it now?"

The cats were full of doubts but also full of anticipation as they walked towards the treasure chest again.

Bai Tang opened the treasure chest carefully, but when the lid was completely opened, everyone was dumbfounded - the box was empty, there was no gold and silver treasures as they had imagined, no precious secret books, and not even a small object.

"Why is there nothing in here?"

"How could this happen? What kind of treasure is this?"

Bai Tang's face was full of disappointment and her voice was filled with tears.

"Could it be that Senior Sha Wuhen lied to us?"

Dafei frowned, his face full of disbelief.

Mo Zi carefully observed the inside of the treasure chest, trying to find some clues:

"Don't worry. Since there are so many guards along the way, it can't be just an empty box. Maybe there are some hidden secrets."

The cats searched carefully around the treasure chest, leaving no corner untouched.

"What is this thing?"

Suddenly, Xiaoqing discovered that there were some tiny symbols engraved on the bottom of the treasure chest. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't notice them at all.

"Everyone come and look, there are words here!"

Xiaoqing shouted.

The cats gathered around, and Mo Zi identified the symbols:

"This seems to be an ancient text, recording... that within an ancient ruin deep in the desert lies the clue to the true treasure, and this empty box is just a guide."

"Going deep into the desert again?"

Bai Tang was a little worried, but there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"No matter what, we have come this far, and the real treasure is waiting for us ahead."

Mo Zi clenched his fists and looked determined.

Although Mo Zi was feeling unwell, she still persevered. The cats looked at each other and nodded.
