But what was strange was that there was no sound in the huge space, as if there were no living things at all.
Jiang Lu frowned. "Where's the monster's lair? There's nothing there."
Just as he was about to try further exploration, he suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
A pair of cold eyes were watching him from somewhere.
Jiang Lu turned back suddenly, but found nothing except the passage he came from.
His expression turned a little ugly.
This look made him feel suffocated by a gaze that was infinitely close to voyeurism.
He treated the situation as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and slowly leaned half of his body in, carefully scanning everything in the cave.
But still nothing was found.
Until he thought of something and slowly looked up.
I saw a huge cat head hanging upside down above the entrance, looking at Jiang Lu with curiosity and indifference, just like a child watching ants building a nest, as if he would get tired of it in the next second and then kick over the entire ant nest.
"This...this is..."
Jiang Lu stared at the body behind the cat's head in shock.
That was obviously not the body of a cat. What stood in front of Jiang Lu were eight slender legs of an arthropod with only one sharp and slender claw, which was inverted on the stalactites of the rock wall, supporting it to hang there.
Like a cat, more like a spider.
But after being shocked, Jiang Lu suddenly became excited.
He knew this creature.
This creature with a cat's head and a spider's body, which exists in the underworld in a physical form and can change its size at will, is called a cat-worm. It comes from a dark tribe deep in hell and is known as the rarest aristocratic pet along with the three-headed dog of hell.
Jiang Lu had raised a cat-bug when he was a child. Unfortunately, the cat-bug's claws were very sharp and it would inevitably cause great damage when crawling. So after the cat-bug scratched Jiang Lu's childhood friend to death, he could only send his beloved pet away when his friend was resurrected and pretend that he had never raised a cat-bug.
Seeing this creature again now, Jiang Lu naturally felt extremely familiar with it.
“It’s actually a golden gradient!”
Jiang Lu smiled and stretched out his hand to pull the whiskers of the cat and cat, and said lovingly: "Oh my little darling, who are you trying to make cute to death?"
Click!
"Hey, where are my fingers?"
Jiang Lu retracted his right hand, which only had three fingers left, and looked at the missing thumb and index finger, feeling a little confused.
At this moment, he recalled the knowledge that the owner had given him when he went to the largest cat and worm house in the underworld when he was a child.
Wild cat-and-cat bugs are one of the most dangerous demons in the underworld. Only those that have been tamed and raised in cat-and-cat bug houses can be raised as pets, and they also have to sign a contract to ensure that they will not harm their owners.
Jiang Lu swallowed his saliva and looked at the cat and cat worm that was slowly approaching him and chewing his fingers in its mouth. He suddenly became nervous.
He remembered that the owner seemed to have told him how to tame the cat bug, but when he got nervous, he couldn't remember anything.
"Bad! Collapse! Finished!"
But at this critical moment, Maomao Chong seemed to smell something, and his eyes slowly moved down from Jiang Lu's face.
"Ok?"
Jiang Lu, who dared not move, was confused at first, but then he thought of something and suddenly understood.
"I remembered!"
......
At the same time, the ghost-faced fox who was waiting outside the cave suddenly found that the rope that had been motionless for a while suddenly began to slide and tighten rapidly, and the signal agreed in advance came from the other end for him to pull it.
"Is it coming?"
The ghost-faced fox perked up, grabbed the rope and started pulling hard, ready to fight.
But to his surprise, after only pulling it a short distance, the ghost-faced fox received a new signal, telling him to relax a little.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he did it out of trust in Jiang Lu.
However, just as he let go of some length, a signal to pull came from the other end.
Pull, release, pull, release...
The ghost-faced fox became increasingly anxious and worried.
"What on earth are you doing?!"
Chapter 55 You call this a pet?
At this time, Jiang Lu was hanging in the air on a rope wrapped around a huge stalactite on the rock wall, rising and falling with the pull of the ghost-faced fox at the end of the rope.
His trousers were held in his hand.
Below him was a cat-bug with its eyes wide open, like a cat fiddling with a ball of yarn, with its body tilted and its claws stretched out to scratch in the air.
In the end, Jiang Lu still remembered the experience taught by the shop owner.
The cat bug is a very curious creature that likes dark and gloomy environments. It is extremely sensitive to strong yin energy, just like cats in the world of the living are to catnip, and it flocks to it.
If you want to tame a wild cat bug, you either need to possess a strong Yin energy, enough to intoxicate it and hook it with addiction, or you need to arouse its curiosity and interest, make it think you are a good playmate, and gradually cultivate a bond between partners.
Almost the moment Jiang Lu thought of this, he worked out an incredibly brilliant plan to trap cat and bugs.
Due to the huge size of the catworm.
First, he needs to hang himself in mid-air.
Then, he used the treasure on him, which was now of little use except for his penis, but whose Yin energy was still incomparably strong, to seduce the cat and the bug.
At the same time, with the remote assistance of the Ghost-faced Fox, he was able to shake himself.
In this way, Jiang Lu can become the most exquisite cat toy that cannot be found even in the underworld.
Normally, either a strong Yin energy or the interest of a cat bug is enough to slowly tame a cat bug.
Now Jiang Lu has both, he doesn’t know how to lose!
The result was no different from what he expected.
The naive Maomao Chong could not resist such simple and crude temptation and gradually sank into the paradise created by Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu looked down at the well-behaved cat and bug, and chuckled as if he was planning a strategy: "Humph, as expected, I was born to do this! Shop owner? Just a shock wave."
......
The ghost-faced fox outside the cave looked anxious.
The rope was silent for a long time.
But up to now, he has not received any notification of his teammates' death, so he can be sure that Jiang Lu is still alive.
But the more this happened, the more worried he became.
He wasn't dead, but there had been no movement for a long time. All kinds of speculations that popped up in his mind made him feel confused.
Imprisoned? Trapped? Or about to be killed in the next second?
Anxiety, impatience, and regret all came to my mind at once, a mixture of various emotions.
He now deeply regretted letting Jiang Lu go down alone.
It was Jiang Lu's previous performance in "Infinite Prison" that made him have high expectations for him. Now that he thinks about it, with his level disadvantage, even if he has any special skills, he will not be able to achieve anything against monsters that are like programs and only know how to attack outsiders.
Although you won't really die if you fight against death in the spirit realm, if Jiang Lu dies, the Ghost-faced Fox, who has extremely high demands on himself, will definitely blame himself.
In his opinion, Jiang Lu, as a novice, did nothing wrong, but he made the most basic mistake, which was unforgivable.
This incident will become a hurdle that he cannot overcome in his heart, and even become his inner demon, causing him to fall into self-blame and self-doubt.
"Please don't be in any trouble..."
The ghost-faced fox gritted his teeth and prayed.
Finally, after who knows how long, the ghost-faced foxes were almost in despair of waiting, and were even planning to risk dying together and enter the cave without knowing the specific situation, when the rope moved!
A signal came from the other end for him to pull up.
Because of the strange signal before, this time he tentatively pulled a few times according to the previous rhythm.
But there was no more signal from Jiang Lu.
In this way, the ghost-faced fox's brows gradually relaxed and his hands moved faster and faster.
After a while, with the help of the ghost-faced fox, Jiang Lu finally climbed up the edge of the cave with his hands and exposed his head.
He panted and complained, "Your navigation is a mess, right? There's nothing down there!"
Ghost-faced Fox was stunned: "How is it possible?"
"There's only a cave down there. Not to mention monsters, there's not even the clues we're looking for."
Jiang Lu started to shirk responsibility with a gloomy face: "You also said there are still confusing items, I don't care, you take the blame!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The Ghost-Faced Fox was convinced that he would not make a mistake, and that such a situation had never happened before.
He asked seriously, "Are there any monster corpses down there? Did other exorcist teams get there first?"
"No." Jiang Lu shook his head.
"Think about it again."
"Really not." Jiang Lu helplessly looked at the ghost-faced fox who was beginning to be a little crazy, and spread his hands: "How can I lie to you when we are on the same team?"
Even though he actually believed what Jiang Lu said, the ghost-faced fox still stubbornly asked: "You didn't find anything at all?"
"Not really. I caught a pet."
"Pet?" The ghost-faced fox was a little surprised.
Along the way, he didn't see any animals. The whole rainforest seemed dead without any living things. He really couldn't understand how Jiang Lu could get a pet.
"Just wait, I'll show you."
Jiang Lu said this and began to touch his body.
