Chapter 233: Chapter 176 The End of Immortal Realm Instance (Three in One)_3
The black cat rubbed against the young man’s neck again.
Chen Lun glanced sideways at the cat, feeling a tinge of surprise.
‘This cat is the first creature with spiritual wisdom I’ve encountered in the Immortal Realm that can communicate… Moreover, it bears an uncanny resemblance to the black cat described in “Dreamseek Town Kazt.”
Just now, when it was killing Polaris, it also mentioned its “hometown Kazt”… So, is the Immortal Realm indeed the dream world from that book?’
Chen Lun kept a close eye on the movements of Polaris and his party.
When the players encountered this black cat, he associated it with “Dreamseek Town Kazt” and immediately teleported over through “Underground Dwelling Number Two.”
The cabin at the end of the ratmen’s nest he named “Underground Dwelling Number One,” and the cabin beside the cobblestone path was “Underground Dwelling Number Two.”
Now that he had confirmed his suspicions, a thought emerged in Chen Lun’s mind.
“Nada, do you have Moon Wine?”
The black cat showed a surprised expression and then nodded its head.
Chen Lun’s eyes narrowed.
The black cat then pointed to a giant axe nearby and said to him:
“Please help me carry this, and I will show you the way… The Moon Wine is stored at my dwelling, it’s an extremely precious item.”
Chen Lun allowed it to sit on his shoulder and then walked over to grasp the handle of the axe.
The giant axe was slowly lifted.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
‘This axe… it’s so heavy! At least a hundred pounds!’
He stealthily glanced at the black cat again.
‘A black cat warrior, a Supernatural Creature, its strength must be around the level of an experienced Sequence Seven… No wonder it can wield such a heavy weapon.’
Suddenly, the black cat Nada turned its head, gave him a tremulous, but very certain look:
“You… You must be a devotee of the Cat God!”
It suddenly revealed a shocked expression, then made a very peculiar prayer gesture very devoutly. Its paws crossed over each other, tracing a strange symbol in mid-air, before pressing them against its forehead.
“Devotee, sir! We have finally waited for your arrival! Please save Kazt!”
Nada burst into tears.
Chen Lun was taken aback by its sudden emotional outburst and unconsciously frowned.
“Do you have a misunderstanding? I am not a devotee of the Cat God.”
“No… No no, you are!”
The black cat wept while pointing to the giant axe in Chen Lun’s hands.
“The king of the Forest of Nature, the protector of Kazt, the great Cat God—He blesses the weapon of every black cat warrior. Look! It’s cheering!”
Chen Lun turned his head and saw that one mystical symbol after another lit up on the handle of the axe, identical to the symbol the black cat had just prayed with.
He released his hand, and the axe fell to the ground with a thud, the symbols fading.
‘What is going on here?’
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
He looked at the black cat and asked with a slight frown:
“What do you mean by ‘saving’?”
Nada wiped away tears and pointed up to the sky.
“Long ago, the Forest of Nature was a peaceful place, inhabited by many civilizations and tribes, but then one day…”
The black cat began to recount the past to Chen Lun.
Like all fairy tales, this was once a land filled with beautiful dreams, but disaster struck one day—the Sun, Moon, and stars all disappeared, and the entire world fell into darkness.
At the same time, an invisible mysterious pollution began to spread.
Almost all creatures fell into madness, turning into bloodthirsty monsters.
Only a few areas were not polluted, and the residents there survived, like the current Kazt Town… but the invisible contamination is intensifying, and even with the Cat God’s protection, Kazt can barely hold on.
The black cats were originally inhabitants of Kazt, but because they disagreed with the conservative white cats, they chose to leave, intending to find a new path for Kazt.
But once they left Kazt Town, the protection over the black cats weakened, and many black cat warriors have become contaminated creatures, completely succumbing to madness.
Nada belongs to the minority still retaining their Sanity.
The leader of Kazt, the High Priest Daye had prayed to the Cat God and received a prophecy—there would come a devotee to visit Kazt, and he would redeem the final home of the cat residents.
‘But I am not a devotee of the Cat God…’
Chen Lun felt increasingly puzzled.
‘This Immortal Realm is just a fictional world from “Philip’s Dreamland Adventure.” Could it be that the same terrible events are happening in the real Immortal Realm?’
After recounting these past events, the black cat led Chen Lun through a pile of chaotic rocks and then found a crude dwelling beneath a huge stone.
After leaving their homeland, the black cat warriors have become a nomadic Race.
This was Nada’s temporary dwelling.
The black cat leaped off Chen Lun’s shoulder and, as a fleeting shadow, squeezed into the “crack” beneath the huge stone. Shortly after, it returned holding a small bottle carved from transparent crystal stone.
The small bottle was about the size of a fist, held between the black cat’s paws and offered up to him with deep reverence.
“Devotee, sir! This is the Moon Wine brewed by our black cat tribe! I offer it to you!”
Chen Lun reached out and accepted it.
