Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

"Humph!"

Facing the sand beast that was charging at him with its fangs and claws bared, Bai Tang shouted:

"Look at how powerful I am!"

The Bell of Justice was thrown high up. The bell made a buzzing sound and was wrapped in golden light. It whooshed towards the sand beast like a meteor.

"Wa ...

Da Fei roared "Ao" and rushed towards the sand beast. His muscles were tense and every step he took made the ground shake.

After approaching the sand beast, he punched out with a heavy punch, and the wind from the fist whistled, bringing with it a "whoosh" sound.

"Flame Tiger Heavy Cannon!"

Wu Song was agile and quickly moved to the side of the sand beast. The weapon in his hand flashed with a cold light and he stabbed the side of the sand beast with a few "puff" sounds.

"Hoohoho..."

Although the sand beast was ferocious, it gradually showed signs of fatigue due to the close cooperation of the cats. Wounds appeared on its body and blood oozed out, dyeing the surrounding sand red.

But this sand beast was extremely tenacious. Even though it was covered in wounds, it still fought stubbornly. Every attack was carried out with a desperate momentum. It pounced on the cats with a whoosh, forcing the cats to retreat again and again.

"Uh-huh——"

Mo Zi's already weak body became even more overwhelmed by the continuous casting of spells. He cried out "Ouch" and staggered, almost falling.

"Sister A Zi, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Bai Tang became extremely anxious. The attack of the Justice Bell became more and more fierce. Under his control, the bell was like a golden whirlwind, "woohooing" and constantly tearing at the sand beast's defense line.

"Bai Tang, help Sister A Zi to the side to rest first, leave this to me..."

Da Fei tried his best to use his strong body to block the attacks of the sand beast for his companions. The sand beast's sharp thorns also scratched his body with blood marks, and he hissed in pain.

……

"Huh~Finally solved!"

Finally, under Bai Tang's powerful attack of the Justice Bell, the sand beast fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust with a "boom".

The cats panted heavily, their "huff huff" sounds echoing in the stone chamber, sweat mixed with blood running down their cheeks. They didn't bother to rest and hurried to the trapped Bianri.

"Is this the secret method to crack it?"

Mo Zi held on to her body and carefully studied the runes on the stone pillar. With her profound knowledge, she found a way to crack it.

"Um……"

As the rune light gradually dimmed, the stone pillar slowly descended with a "creaking" sound. Bian Ri survived the disaster and sat slumped on the ground, gasping for breath with a "whooshing" sound.

"There won't be any more traps in this secret room, right?"

After the stone chamber returned to calm, the cats' attention was once again focused on the stone platform that was emitting a soft light.

They approached cautiously and saw that the surface of the stone platform was covered with mysterious lines. Those lines were intertwined with each other, as if telling ancient secrets.

At the edge of the stone platform, there was a circle of faint light flickering, as if guiding something.

"Hey, look, this place is different from before!"

Bai Tang's heartbeat suddenly quickened. He squatted down and carefully observed every detail of the stone platform.

"Hey, what's this little sunken hole?"

Suddenly, he discovered that there was a slightly concave area in the center of the stone platform. It was irregular in shape and surrounded by a circle of tiny holes.

"Um?"

He reached out and gently touched the holes, feeling a faint energy emanating from them.

"Everyone, come and see!"

Sugar shouted,

"This seems to be a mechanism."

"Don't touch it again, sugar!"

The cats gathered around, and Mo Zi carefully examined the mechanism and said:

"This mechanism is extremely ingeniously designed, and it seems to require specific items to activate it."

"Look at this!"

At this moment, Dafei noticed a small bump on one side of the stone platform. He reached out and pressed it. With a "click", the surface of the stone platform slowly rotated.

"This thing is exactly the same as ours! Could it be that the key to the treasure is what our senior left us?"

With a "creaking" sound, a groove emitting a faint light was revealed. The shape and size of the groove perfectly matched the wooden box left by Senior Sha Wuhen.

"Hey, let me see what good stuff there is!"

Bai Tang's heartbeat quickened, and with trembling hands, he took the wooden box from his bag. Under the nervous and expectant gazes of the cats, Bai Tang slowly placed the box into the groove.

In an instant, the entire stone chamber shook violently with a booming sound. The light on the stone platform became so bright that the cats could hardly open their eyes.

In the light, the stone platform slowly rose up, and with a "creaking" sound, a treasure chest emitting colorful light appeared in front of everyone.

"Finally found!"

Bai Tang's face flushed with excitement. He took a few steps forward and opened the treasure chest with trembling hands. With a creaking sound, the moment the treasure chest opened, several dark shadows shot out from all corners like lightning.

"who……"

"Hmph, thank you guys so much!"

They were agile and quick, and in an instant they surrounded the cats and the treasure chest.

One of the black shadows let out a low laugh, and the "hehe" sound echoed in the stone chamber, which made Bai Tang feel inexplicably familiar.

Bai Tang held the Justice Bell tightly and asked loudly:

"Who are you? Why does your voice sound so familiar?"

The black shadow let out a loud and arrogant laugh of "Hahahaha", then reached out and took off the hat on his head.

A familiar face appeared before everyone. It was the patriarch of the sub-clan. Bai Tang's eyes widened in shock and he blurted out:

"What? You cats from this tribe actually..."

This cat from the tribe had a strange smile on his face, and his companions behind him took off their hats one after another, revealing indifferent faces.

"As expected of the clan leader, he's really smart! Sure enough, we can find the treasure just by following them."

"Thanks for leading the way, little ones!"

Their eyes revealed greed and cunning as they stared at the treasures in the treasure chest.

"Yes, it's us."

The leading cat spoke with arrogance in his voice, "This treasure has been coveted by our clan for a long time. Today, none of you can take it away. If you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

After saying that, he pulled out the weapon in his hand with a "swish", and it flashed coldly under the light of the stone chamber.

Mo Zi's face changed, and he endured the discomfort in his body and stood in front of the treasure chest.

"Don't even think about it! I'm still here. Are you being too presumptuous?"

"Hahaha, your body must have reached its limit a long time ago! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to jump out, right!"

"Get out of here! We just want the treasure!"

The cats of the sub-clan did not take it seriously. They drew their weapons one after another, making clanging sounds as they prepared to attack.

"I will never give it to you!"

They brandished their weapons and shouted:

"You think you can keep the treasure? You're just daydreaming!"

Bai Tang felt a surge of anger in his heart. He looked at the sub-clan cats with whom he might have had some interactions in the past and asked:

"Why are you doing this? Are you so disregarding morality that you would steal the achievements of others?"

The sub-clan cat sneered:

"In this world where the strong are respected, how much is morality worth? This treasure can greatly increase the strength of our clan, so we will naturally not let it go. We are determined to take this treasure today!"

"Wa ...

Da Fei clenched his fists, his joints turning white from the force, and making a crackling sound.

"Then don't blame us for being rude. If you want to grab the treasure, you have to get past us first!"

After that, the cats and the sub-clan cats confronted each other. The atmosphere in the stone chamber was extremely tense, like a taut string that could break at any time.
