Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

As if she had thought of something, Pina gave a cold smile, turned around and walked out of the Elf Inn.

"Sister, wait for me!" Pierre chased after her.

……

Stepping out of the gates of Kro City, Zhang Xiaoyuan opened the map, and as they approached, the map of the Cat Demon Forest appeared.

The map was a dark area, which gradually brightened as Zhang Xiaoyuan passed by.

"Is this the Forest of Cat Demons?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan whispered.

Since leaving the area around Kro City, the road to the Cat Demon Forest has become abnormal.

The plants in other places are all green grass and trees, but the road to the Forest of Cat Demons is covered with white and gray foxtail grass, giving people a sense of desolation and death.

【Cursed Foxtail Grass: Affected by the curse of the Cat Demon Forest, it has undergone an uncontrollable mutation. A basic material, grants +5 Intelligence (temporary).】

Zhang Xiaoyuan plucked a stalk to light up the encyclopedia, and a few seconds later she was surprised to find that the mutated foxtail grass had withered and lost its vitality.

"Hmm? It seems the curse of the Cat Demon Forest is quite strange. Perhaps the cat demons went mad because of the curse."

Zhang Xiaoyuan became wary; it seemed there was another danger besides the crazed cat demon leader.

And as Zhang Xiaoyuan got closer to the Forest of Cat Demons, the sights she saw became increasingly bizarre.

The headless, mummified corpse of a monster hung from a branch.

Torn beast hides, stained with blood, fluttered in the wind among the scorched, twisted forest.

Crackling sounds came from beneath my feet from time to time; those were the weathered monster bones lurking in the cracks in the ground.

Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned; he felt that something was amiss.

"It felt like it was telling me that this place was terrible and wanted me to get away from it."

Zhang Xiaoyuan's gaming intuition was always very accurate, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to send his clone in to check the situation first.

After finding a secluded spot to hide, Zhang Xiaoyuan used her sleep combat skill.

Sleepiness quickly overcame her, and she drifted off to sleep. Zhang Xiaoyuan's clone floated into the air and silently entered the Cat Demon Forest.

"This is……"

Zhang Xiaoyuan had barely walked a hundred meters into the Cat Demon Forest when she noticed something strange.

The numerous mad cat demons that Pina had mentioned did not appear. Instead, nine cat demons with different appearances and tiger-like bodies were lying on the grass.

And without exception, all nine cat demons were level 49.

"How could this be? What about the other cat demons? Did they all go mad and die?"

Before Zhang Xiaoyuan could think any further, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"You've come, human."

"Have I been discovered? Or are you trying to trick me?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan was startled and looked around, only to find that the nine cat demons had not made a move.

Instead, a small calico cat appeared, licking its paws while looking up at where Zhang Xiaoyuan was.

"I know you don't believe me, but I predicted your arrival long ago."

The calico cat blew a breath at Zhang Xiaoyuan, and Zhang Xiaoyuan found that her invisibility ability had failed, her figure was revealed, and she was exposed to the calico cat's sight.

"Meow!"

As Zhang Xiaoyuan's figure was revealed, the nine cat demons below opened their eyes simultaneously.

One of them, a cat demon with pure white fur and wings, let out a loud cry. With just a flap of its wings, it arrived in front of Zhang Xiaoyuan and swung its claws to slap Zhang Xiaoyuan's head.

"A grumpy cat is not a well-behaved cat."

Zhang Xiaoyuan also threw a punch, and unable to dodge in time, she retaliated.

boom!

The air swirled, Zhang Xiaoyuan took a step back, while the white cat was sent flying backward, its wings flapping many times before it finally came to a stop.

[Asahina Neko: Level 49, a magical beast trapped in the Cat Demon Forest, skilled in flight, skill: Cat Walk...]

Zhang Xiaoyuan could see the information about the opposing monster on the data panel.

"The speed value has reached 240 points, and the other stats are all around 150 points. It can be killed, but there is no need. Killing a low-level monster is far more worthwhile than killing a high-level monster now."

Below, Zhang Xiaoyuan gradually saw the information about the remaining 8 cat demons.

[Mighty Cat: Level 49, a monster trapped in the Cat Demon Forest, possessing immense strength, skill: Cat Punch...]

[Flame Cat: Level 49, a magical beast trapped in the Cat Demon Forest, skilled in fire, skill: Tail Fire...]

【Flowing Water Cat: Level 49, a magical beast trapped in the Cat Demon Forest, skilled in ice and water, skill: Ice Spikes...】

……

There are nine cat demons in total, all of them are level 49, and each of them possesses a different kind of power.

The calico cat that appeared later was actually level 51, and its eyes were clear, showing no signs of going berserk at all.

"Did Pina lie to me?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned and continued to observe the calico cat. Unfortunately, the data panel seemed to malfunction this time, and she could only see a little information about the calico cat, with the rest of the text being blurry.

[Priest Cat: Level 51, the leader of the cat demons trapped in the Cat Demon Forest, possessing some kind of mysterious power...]

"Asaba, step back. You must not be disrespectful to our friends."

The calico cat glanced at the asparagus cat indifferently. The asparagus cat's body trembled, and it glared at Zhang Xiaoyuan unwillingly before landing on the ground and crawling behind the calico cat along with the other eight cat demons.

"Friend, nice to meet you. Please enjoy the delicacies of my Spirit Cat Clan."

The calico cat gave a human-like smile and took out a lotus leaf with a lively little fish on it.

The small fish are about the size of a palm, with a light green body, exuding vitality and energy.

"Heh, I don't think I can become friends with a monster that wants to kill me the first time we meet."

Zhang Xiaoyuan landed on the ground and carefully examined the calico cat.

There is even less information about this cat than about the grandchildren of that demigod tortoise. Could it be a true descendant of a deity?

But that doesn't seem right either. How could a true descendant of a god be trapped in this cursed land?

"Asaba is mentally unstable, so please don't take it personally. After all, everyone knows that the monsters in the Cat Demon Forest can go berserk."

The calico cat explained with a smile, and then took out another small, light green fish.

"But I see that you are very intelligent, and there is no sign of you going berserk at all."

Furthermore, everyone knows that you can't be above level 50 in the Cat Demon Forest, or you'll die instantly. Yet you're standing right in front of me, perfectly fine.

After Zhang Xiaoyuan finished speaking, she looked at the two small fish on the lotus leaf. At first, she didn't pay attention to them, but when she checked the data panel, she was immediately shocked.

These two small fish are actually intermediate-grade materials (pseudo-advanced-grade materials), but unlike other materials, they don't have a variety of abilities; they only have one ability: healing.

【Jade Fish (Intermediate/Pseudo-Advanced): No matter how severe the injury, as long as there is still a breath left, it will instantly restore the user to peak condition. Usable for levels below 50.】

With these two days of jade fish, Zhang Xiaoyuan is essentially given two extra lives.

"These things are true, of course. Otherwise, where do you think all those skeletons outside come from? They're the bones of crazy, dead spirit cats."

As for me, I only possess some special abilities that allow me to deceive everyone. Level 51 is my limit; any higher and I'll go insane.

The calico cat shook its head and sighed deeply.

Then it looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan with burning eyes, "I know why you came. As long as you can do me a small favor, I will help you find the skill you want."
