Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

Chapter 446 Return to the secret room!

"Ugh……"

The cats looked at the empty treasure chest engraved with ancient characters, feeling unwilling.

Bai Tang was the first to shout:

"No matter how difficult the desert is, we are not afraid. We just need to charge forward and it will be over!"

Da Fei slapped Bai Tang on the back and laughed heartily, "Of course! We've seen a lot of storms, and the treasure is definitely waiting for us ahead!"

"Hmm~"

Although Mo Zi looked pale, he nodded firmly, his eyes revealing unshakable determination.

"elder sister……"

Xiaoqing looked at her sister, full of worry, but she could only hide this concern in her heart and silently clenched her fists.

……

After everything was ready, the cats stepped into the desert.

The sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sand felt like burning charcoal, making every step extremely difficult.

"Uh--"

Baitang was so hot that his tongue almost reached the ground. He gasped and complained:

"This day, I'm about to be roasted to death!"

Da Fei quickly took out a water bag from his bag and handed it over, saying in a rough voice:

"Drink up quickly. Water is precious in this desert."

"Let me help you lower it!"

Mo Zi took out the jade pendant that emitted a cool feeling and waved it gently to dispel some of the heat for everyone, but she herself swayed due to the energy consumed.

"Hmm? Something doesn't seem right here!"

As they walked, the cats completely lost their way. The sand dunes around them looked similar, as if they were trapped in an endless loop.

Bai Tang turned around several times, looking confused:

"Strange, why do I feel like I'm going in circles?" Da Fei looked around vigilantly, his brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character.

"Could it be that we've run into a maze in the desert? I heard that this thing can completely mess up your direction."

"Exploring the Abyss... Ugh!"

Mo Zi endured the discomfort, closed her eyes and tried to sense the direction, but her weak body made her dizzy as soon as she concentrated.

"Hmm, what are these?"

Just when the cats were filled with anxiety, Xiaoqing, with his sharp eyes, discovered a series of strange footprints with peculiar shapes and large intervals between them.

Bai Tang came over curiously and squatted down to take a closer look:

"What kind of footprints are these? Could they be clues to the treasure?"

Mo Zi also looked over, thought for a moment, and said slowly:

"There's no other way right now, let's just go along and see."

……

"Hey, why are we back here again?"

Following the footprints, the cats returned to the cave where they had obtained the empty treasure chest.

Outside the cave, the collapsed rocks piled up again, and the runes at the entrance flashed in a strange rhythm, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

"Uh, how come this place is..."

Dafei stepped forward, supported himself on a rock with both hands and pushed hard. The rock moved easily, revealing a hidden passage.

"Woooo..."

The passage was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, with faint lights flickering, as if calling out to the cats.

"Tap..."

As soon as I entered the passage, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

Bai Tang's ears pricked up, and he said alertly:

"There's a cat!"

"Stop biting me, stop biting me, please let me go!"

The cats moved forward quietly, only to see Bian Ri being chased by several gerbils and running away with his head in his hands.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

He staggered, using the branch in his hand as a weapon, swinging it around indiscriminately, each blow weak and powerless.

"Hey, is he here?"

Sugar yelled:

"Grandpa Benri, we're here to help you!"

The cats attacked instantly. Dafei rushed forward like a mountain and knocked a gerbil away with one punch. The gerbil drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

Wu Song brandished his weapon, a cold light flashed, and he accurately stabbed another gerbil. The gerbil couldn't dodge in time and let out a scream.

Xiaoqing and Mo Zi also cast spells. Arrows flew through Xiaoqing's hands, and Mo Zi's ice blades danced. For a moment, the magic lights in the passage intertwined.

With the combined efforts of the cats, the gerbils were scared and ran away in all directions.

"Uh……"

Bian Ri was breathing heavily, sweat mixed with dust, his face was in disarray, and his eyes were filled with gratitude:

"Thank...thank you guys. I was trying to find clues to the treasure, but ended up being chased all the way by these gerbils."

Bai Tang scratched his head, looking puzzled:

"Why are you here alone? Oh, by the way, where did you go during the fight just now?" Bian Ri lowered his head awkwardly, his voice as soft as a mosquito's hum: "I... I stayed right there the whole time. I think I was knocked unconscious by a rock after the fight, and when I woke up, you were all gone."

"Yeah?"

Mo Zi looked at Bian Ri, then looked at the deep passage, and said slowly:

"Since we've met again, let's go together. But there are many dangers ahead, so you have to follow us closely."

"Okay, okay!"

Bian Ri nodded quickly and followed the team, his steps still a little weak.

"The stench is coming again..."

As we went deeper, the passage became narrower and narrower, with dark green water stains seeping out of the walls and emitting a damp and decayed smell.

"Uh--"

Bian Ri was so nervous that he looked around, his body trembling slightly, and his teeth couldn't help but chatter.

"boom……"

Suddenly, the ground ahead collapsed without warning, revealing a large pit. The bottom of the pit was covered with sharp stone spikes, flashing coldly in the darkness.

"Be careful!"

Wu Song reacted very quickly, grabbing Bian Ri who was about to fall, and pulled him back to safety, scolding him:

"Watch the road!"

Bian Ri was still frightened and thanked him repeatedly.

"Ugh……"

Bai Tang frowned, looking worried:

"There are too many traps here, everyone be careful!" After passing the pit, a stone door appeared in front of them. The door was engraved with strange symbols, and the lines of the symbols were twisted, as if they had life.

Bian Ri came forward tremblingly, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said haltingly:

"I...I've seen similar symbols in ancient books. They seem to need to be triggered in a specific order."

Under Bian Ri's guidance, Mo Zi endured the discomfort, reached out and gently touched the symbol, and operated according to the order Bian Ri said.

The stone door creaked and slowly opened.

"What's going on? Why are there so many secret rooms in this place?"

Behind the door was a huge stone chamber with a stone platform in the center, emitting a soft light. Something seemed to be looming in the light.

"No way? Again!"

The cats, full of curiosity, slowly approached. At this moment, several stone pillars suddenly rose from the platform at an extremely fast speed, trapping Bian Ri in an instant.

The runes on the stone pillars flickered, emitting a mysterious power.

Bian Ri was so frightened that his face turned pale and his voice changed:

"Help...help!"

"Roar……"

At the same time, a low roar came from the corner of the stone chamber, and a sand beast covered with thorns slowly walked out.

It was so massive that the ground shook with every step it took. Its sharp fangs dripped with saliva as it glared fiercely at the cats. A fierce battle seemed inevitable...
