Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Has a fight already broken out?"

Liu Zheng guessed based on his experience.

If they've already started fighting, that would be a good thing; maybe by the time he arrives, it'll be over.

When cats fight, the two-legged creatures benefit.

Hoping to find a bargain, he decisively swam forward.

After swimming about 100 meters, Liu Zheng finally saw the two "fish" clearly.

A fully insured black tabby car and an uninsured silver shaded RV are locked in a fierce battle.

The black tabby bit the silver shaded dog's right cheek, while the silver shaded dog desperately kicked at the black tabby's belly.

Black and silver cat fur floated in the lake, while golden specks of light oozed from the wounds of the two cats.

In terms of size, the black tabby has the advantage, and it also bit the silver shaded tabby's vitals.

However, the silver shaded coat's fur was much thicker than that of the black tabby, so the light spots that flowed from the wound on its neck were actually less than those that flowed from the wound on the black tabby's belly.

However, biting is far more powerful than scratching.

As long as the black tabby can hold out until its sharp teeth completely break through the defenses of its fur, the silver shaded tabby will be doomed.

The silver shaded cat seemed to understand this as well, and struggled desperately to break free from the black tabby's control.

But Black Tabby would rather let its belly endure more attacks than let it escape its control.

Its struggles caused the wound on its neck to worsen.

Perhaps because they were engrossed in the fierce battle, neither of the cats noticed Liu Zheng's arrival.

He remained where he was and did not move any closer.

"Whose side should we take?"

Liu Zheng observed the situation while deep in thought.

If you help Black Tabby, Black Tabby will definitely win.

But since the other party already had the upper hand, it's hard to say whether they'll appreciate his kindness.

Moreover, the fact that Black Cat Flower had reserved too much strength was not conducive to his ability to kill fish.

But if they help the Silver Shaded, it's hard to say whether the two of them together can defeat the Black Tabby.

After all, the silver shaded dog's vital organs are controlled by the black tabby dog's mouth. As long as it is willing to pay the price, it is very likely to kill the silver shaded dog instantly and then turn around and attack Liu Zheng.

or.

"Not helping either of them?"

A thought flashed through Liu Zheng's mind, then was instantly extinguished.

He's basically used up all his cards, so he obviously can't possibly be a match for these two big cats that already live in the lake if it really comes down to it.

"I've got it! Pretend to help Black Tabby first, then launch a sneak attack when it's distracted."

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

This tactic is called "openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass."

Having made up his mind, Liu Zheng swam toward the two cats.

When he was less than five meters away from them, the two cats finally realized something was wrong and turned to look at him.

However, despite watching them, they showed no sign of stopping their actions.

Just as Liu Zheng was about to speak to the black cat, a sudden chill ran down his spine from his tailbone to the back of his head.

"Is this... a dangerous intuition?"

Realizing something was wrong, he immediately stopped advancing and retreated.

At the same time, Liu Zheng shifted his main attention from hearing to sight.

He immediately noticed something amiss.

Cats don't have as many expressions as humans, not even as many as dogs.

Therefore, to understand their emotions, we generally analyze them by combining their posture, vocalizations, and pupil size.

Whether it's the black tabby or the silver shaded tabby, their pupils are long and narrow, and their eyelids are slightly squinted.

In a cat's perception of emotions, this generally indicates relaxation and comfort.

This is very wrong.

Both cats were in a life-or-death struggle, how could they possibly be relaxed and comfortable?

Or perhaps these two aren't actually cats, so they express emotions in the opposite way to normal cats.

Or perhaps they aren't actually fighting, but just playing rather intensely.

Liu Zheng, however, is more inclined to believe the latter.

"Greetings, two noble cats. I am not here to disturb you, but to join you."

In a flash, he put away his butcher's knife and boning knife and said in a friendly tone.

Under his tense gaze, the black tabby pulled out its teeth that were biting the silver shaded dog, and the silver shaded dog released its hind paws that were holding onto the black tabby.

The two cats adjusted themselves to stand facing Liu Zheng, observing him with great interest, and even licking their paws.

"who are you?"

"Black Fox Flower asked."

"I'm an employee of the Bloody Restaurant's takeout department, and I'm here on orders to fish."

He hesitated for a moment, but still chose to tell the truth.

"It's that old woman Si Xue again. She not only fishes herself, but she also lets her employees fish."

The silver gradient shrieked.

"You're not even an outstanding employee, so what makes you think you can fish for people?"

"Black Fox Flower asked."

"Perhaps it's because I've been performing exceptionally well lately, and this is a special perk for new employees?"

This time, Liu Zheng didn't tell the truth.

However, since he used a question, it shouldn't be considered a lie.

"Human, you are lying."

Black Fox Flower shook its head.

"."

Liu Zheng's pupils contracted. Had his lie been seen through?

"We are not your welfare, you are our welfare."

"Meow!"

"Meow!"

With two excited meows, the black tabby and the silver shaded cat pounced on him together.

Chapter 422 The male is fine, he can still go.

"stop!"

Liu Zheng extended his tentacles in an attempt to stop him.

The black tabby and silver shaded tabby also stopped cooperatively.

"So good. Such a well-behaved kitten probably wouldn't want to play with a dog, right?"

He said with satisfaction that the teething rods curled at the tips of his tentacles swayed slowly with the flow of water, as if they might break free from the tentacles at any moment.

Name: Tindalos's Teething Stick (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: When thrown, it summons a Tindaros Hound that lasts for three minutes."

Note: Please be aware that the summoned dog may not necessarily be a Tindaros dog.

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

This teething toy was his first trump card, and also the lowest quality one.

But its threat level is no less than that of well-made or perfect cards, and may even be greater.

But ever since he got the trump card, Liu Zheng has never used it again.

Because without the "Mushsha's Bone Whistle" item, this item is an indiscriminate party wipe engine.

"There are no acute angles here, so you can't release it."

Black Tabby stared at the chew stick and said.

"Don't gamble. How can such beautiful little kittens like you learn to gamble like humans?"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"And what good would it do you if you won the bet? Then you'd have no one to play with you anymore."

"Let's play cat and mouse!"

"Silver gradient said excitedly."

It's obvious that he is the mouse.

"My legs aren't very good, and I'm not good at swimming, so I'm afraid I won't have enough fun."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"So what games do you play?"

"Black Fox Flower asked."

"Me? I can turn into dried fish."

With a flick of his wrist, two small dried fish appeared.

"Little dried fish!"

Black Tabby's eyes widened.

"It smells so good, so fragrant."

Silver Shaded twitched its nose and said excitedly.

This is not a real lake, and there are no real living creatures here.

Even if you have collectibles that have transformed into fish, they don't taste like fish when you eat them, let alone when they're made into dried fish.

Moreover, Liu Zheng's dried fish is not ordinary dried fish, but rather dried fish carefully made by Sanhuamao using fish from the sewer.

Not to mention these artifacts that don't even have soil to eat, they are a special target for the Sphinx.

"Second brother, kill him and steal the dried fish."

"Black Tabby said loudly."

"Okay, boss."

The silver shaded cat agreed without hesitation.

They didn't care to say it to his face, because Liu Zheng couldn't escape.

"Kitty, you can't do that. Otherwise, there won't be any dried fish."

Liu Zheng rolled up his tentacles again, and the dried fish disappeared.

This is the advantage of being identified as an item by the system; you can put it into and take it out of the system space at any time.

He found these two dried fish in the Legendary delivery box; he didn't know when they had been put there.
